Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 336: Chapter 211 Miss, You Are Overthinking_2 Chapter 336: Chapter 211 Miss, You Are Overthinking_2 As her words fell, a trace of solemnity appeared on the bewildered faces of the onlookers.

That statement was indeed a bit harsh!

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng lowered his head and looked at Huo Shuixian again, shaking his head involuntarily.

Still too young! If one is acting, they should commit fully, so why are they so easily provoked? Isn’t this revealing the fox’s tail?

“Miss, don’t you find it tiring maintaining this act of a genteel lady from a noble family every single day?” Gu Changsheng asked nonchalantly, ignoring her question.

Huo Shuixian was startled, her heart stirred slightly, but she pursed her lips and remained silent.

“Ha ha…” Gu Changsheng looked at her forced and humbled posture, suddenly bursting into laughter. His laughter was willful and joyful, making anyone who heard feel his exuberance.

Suddenly, Gu Changsheng stopped laughing, his whole demeanor changed, no longer light and breezy. He now resembled a general commanding an army, his presence so imposing it commanded involuntary respect.

Huo Shuixian also felt this overwhelming aura so close at hand, her heart skipping a beat in alarm.

“What do people say? What does it matter to me, Gu Changsheng, how the world views me?” Gu Changsheng’s voice was low, his eyes and eyebrows revealing arrogant defiance, speaking with utter disdain, “I, Gu Changsheng, have never cared about public opinion. How they choose to see me, what they say, is their freedom. Can it hinder me in the slightest?”

“I, Gu Changsheng, have always been one to respond to kindness but not to force, even less so to your mix of both. You think you can pressure me with the idle talk of others? Miss, you are gravely mistaken!”

“I, Gu Changsheng, act solely based on my own whims, frivolous and proud, content as long as my heart is pleased. The title ‘Medicine God’ was thrust upon me by others–do you think I actually care about such vexing fame?”

“Benevolence of a doctor? Sorry, I, Gu Changsheng, truly do not possess it. There are countless miseries in this world; I’m no Guanyin Bodhisattva, unable to perform such charitable deeds of saving lives!”

Gu Changsheng’s voice, like rolling thunder, resonated within the hearts of all who heard.

The crowd invariably thought of those who had been taught a lesson by her before, Butcher Wang, Old Lady Wang, Mo Wu… a whole litany. Indeed, Lady Changsheng always resolved situations in the most direct and forceful manner!

True to Lady Changsheng’s word, she had always been this capricious and unyielding!

The onlookers’ gaze towards Huo Shuixian now carried an unconscious trace of concern.

Would this delicate little fairy suffer the same fate at the hands of Lady Changsheng?

“On what basis?” Huo Shuixian incredulously raised her head, her face a picture of utter shock.

Was there truly a woman in this world, unfettered by reputation? She couldn’t believe it! She refused to believe it!

She was so cautious and diligent to maintain her image as a noble lady, so why could this contemptible Gu Changsheng live such a carefree life?

“On what basis? Heh heh…” Gu Changsheng pointed to himself and let out a disdainful scoff, “Miss, I deigned to converse with you out of respect for your longtime acquaintance with Zhou Mu. Do not overestimate yourself; merely that pretty face of yours is not enough to catch my eye!”

“You!” Upon hearing this, Huo Shuixian became enraged, standing upright and pointing directly at Gu Changsheng, her face flushed with anger and her chest heaving, at a loss for words.

She, the daughter of an illustrious official family, born of Golden Branches and Jade Leaves, was being so humiliated by this lowlife, it was utterly intolerable!

“I? Heh heh…” Gu Changsheng chuckled again, curling his lips in a scornful smile, “You asked me on what basis? Well, listen carefully!”

“On the basis of me being Gu Changsheng! On the basis that a single prescription I write can relieve thousands suffering from an ailment, that a single medicine I refine can bless innumerable common folk. Your mother is human, but are other people not? Miss, my time is precious. Why don’t you ask around, just how valuable are my prescriptions worth? Are the medicines I refine not worth ten thousand taels?”

Huo Shuixian heard this, her face filled with doubt and uncertainty.

However, the surrounding crowd nodded vigorously, fervently agreeing.

“That’s right! What does saving a single person amount to? Lady Changsheng’s prescription for dysentery has relieved so many from their suffering, worth far more than ten thousand gold!”

“Exactly, the quality of medicinal herbs in the market has significantly improved using Lady Changsheng’s methods, their potency increased by more than double. Such benevolent actions are invaluable!”

“Miss, please don’t waste Medicine God’s time. With the extra time, Medicine God Changsheng would be better off devising new prescriptions or at the very least, resting and rejuvenating herself.”

Those who had been beguiled by Huo Shuixian’s beauty, moved by compassion, now switched sides en masse.

This was Lady Changsheng, the Medicine God Lady Changsheng herself! What Famous Doctor doesn’t have a temper? Compared to that, Lady Changsheng was simply refusing one patient, which was nothing out of the ordinary!

“You! All of you!” Hearing the words swirling around her, Huo Shuixian appeared lost and flustered, her emotions a mix of indignation and resentment, her fingers clenched tightly into her palms, drawing blood without feeling the pain.

She had intended to use this opportunity to drag Gu Changsheng through the mud, ensuring her utter ruin.

Everything had been going well, just as she had planned, but then this contemptible woman uttered a few words, and immediately the mood shifted. She remained composed while Huo Shuixian herself was pushed to a corner with no way out.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng slowly stepped down, whispering into Huo Shuixian’s ear in a low voice, “Miss, you’ve underestimated your opponent and overestimated yourself…”

After saying this, Gu Changsheng continued on, leaving a stunned Huo Shuixian speechless, her sleeves fluttering as she ascended the steps and raised her voice, “I, Gu Changsheng, am just so; I lack the compassion of a doctor and the grand ambition of saving all beings. Today was supposed to be a celebration of my new residence. If you have come with sincere congratulations, my doors are wide open to welcome you. But if you disdain associating with someone like me, feel free to leave. Changsheng will respect your wishes!”
