Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 385: Chapter 256 Changsheng the Great Deceiver_2 Chapter 385: Chapter 256 Changsheng the Great Deceiver_2 “Yes!” Mr. Ban Shan finally showed a look of relief and gave Gu Changsheng a glance that implied, “He’s teachable. Well then, speak, my son, I’m all ears.”

Gu Changsheng looked around mysteriously, ensuring that besides Kun Nu, Tan Nv, and Ning Er, no one else was present, then slowly began, “Foster Father, do you know why I possess medical skills that far surpass those of the Gu Family’s ancestors?”

Mr. Ban Shan shook his head upon hearing this.

Indeed, he did not know.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng immediately felt relieved, and his heart was secretly overjoyed.

Other than Zhou Mu, if anyone in this world knew, especially his foster father, that would indeed be a marvel! It would take someone with eyes both in the front and back of their head, who could see eight hundred years into the past and eight hundred into the future, and even those who could transcend space and time.

Thus, with his imagination running wild, Gu Changsheng continued to bluff, “Foster Father, everyone knows that I once joined another sect and acquired the Divine Acupuncture Skills. You must have heard about this too.”

Mr. Ban Shan nodded, he indeed knew about it.

Originally, when Gu Changsheng started his free clinic, he had gone there for treatment. He was treated for an old nagging neck pain, and his daughter’s medical skills were truly unmatched in the world. Just a few needles made his pain disappear completely. After several months of using plasters, not only was the cause of his problem removed, but he also had no more pain to trouble him.

And he had indeed heard that while his daughter’s methods of treating and saving people were shared with the doctors of the world, the Divine Acupuncture Skills received from her sect were to be imparted selectively.

“Foster Father, although hidden families who don’t appear in the world are rare, they do exist, like Little Monk Bu Jie of the Secret Sect Shang Clan in our family. My sect, compared to the Shang Clan’s Secret Sect, is even more mysterious,” said Gu Changsheng, half-truthfully and fully indulging in his deception, “I am a disciple of the Yhan’s family. The Yhan family, known for its member’s extraordinary abilities, doesn’t settle in simple mountains or wilderness, and has not entered the noisy secular world for over a thousand years. I was fortunate enough in my three lives to meet my master coming out to gain experience and receive his guidance. My master is skilled in medical skills and vastly knowledgeable about ancient and modern times, including countless military strategies. Naturally, having a photographic memory, I remember all that my master taught.”

“With a heart to settle in a corner of Liuzhou, having gathered eight hundred elite soldiers, I remembered the military strategies mentioned by my master,” Gu Changsheng continued, sneaking a glance at his foster father and seeing him captivated, leisurely continued, “thus, I compiled them into thirty-two volumes of military books, hoping that the day the elite soldiers are fully trained, our family too will have means of protection!”

Gu Changsheng spoke grandly, and suddenly time fell into a strange silence.

Mr. Ban Shan thoughtfully lowered his head in silence, while Gu Changsheng did not rush him, quietly watching.

After a long while, Mr. Ban Shan finally raised his head, looked at Gu Changsheng, admiration in his eyes, “Your sect, the Yhan’s, truly is an undoubtedly hidden family!”

The moment Gu Changsheng heard this, his heart settled down. Her talent for bluffing was comparable to Zhao Benshan’s; she actually managed to fool him! She quickly replied joyfully, “Yes, Foster Father, my sect is detached from the world, having no desires, it is definitely a hidden family!”

Good Lord! In her past life, the Yhan’s were genuinely detached from the world and had no desires. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have suffered so much when she became their disciple; they didn’t even give her grandfather any face, yet no one could do anything about them!

“Holding jewels yet staying hidden, you are indeed fortunate to have been guided by them in this life!” Mr. Ban Shan sighed lightly, a hint of indulgence flickering as he patted Gu Changsheng’s head and slowly said, with a hint of a distant tone in his voice, “My daughter, do you know what kind of bloody storm these thirty-two volumes of military books could unleash if they were to become known?”

“Although the Four Kingdoms has no shortage of generals skilled in warfare, there has never been a military book that encompasses the great military strategies of the world! Even Zhou Mu’s master, Di Wentian, who prides himself on his divine military tactics, might not be able to write even one of the volumes contained in these thirty-two!”

As Mr. Ban Shan spoke, he grabbed Gu Changsheng’s hand, his voice heavy, “Thus, my daughter, if these military books are known to the Four Kingdoms’ Royal Family, you will certainly become an object of their contention, and it’s not all fun and games!”

Mr. Ban Shan said this with a trace of heartache in his eyes, but still, he steeled his heart and said, “Such unique military books in today’s world have instead become a hot potato! My dear, a common man is innocent; but a man possessing jade invites trouble. These books will place you in treacherous danger! Therefore, as your father, I cannot keep it! You also cannot keep it!”

“Destroying them by fire, though regrettable, must be done for your safety!” Mr. Ban Shan said, tears welling in his eyes, full of infinite regret, “What a pity! What a pity for such a unique and exceptional book…”

Gu Changsheng listened quietly, deeply moved. Oh, her foster father, a man who loves books as if they were his life. Though they hadn’t known each other long, he cared for her far more than hundreds and thousands of books.

“Don’t feel sorry, Foster Father. Do as you wish; if the books are burned, then they are burned. They are all in my mind anyway!” Gu Changsheng said, smiling consolingly at Mr. Ban Shan while pointing to her own head, coyly saying, “Foster Father, you just need to teach what you’ve understood to the followers on the mountain in your own way. I never really intended for these military books to be released into the world! Hehe…”

“You!” Mr. Ban Shan finally breathed easier, raised his hand to point at Gu Changsheng’s forehead, “What could be better than keeping them hidden in your mind, relatively safe and not really causing this unique and exceptional book to vanish from the world!”

“So, Foster Father, continue your retreat these next few days, absorbing as much of the military books as you can! Then we will wipe out all traces! Hehe…” Gu Changsheng said again, playfully.
