Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 503: Chapter 361 Flower Peacock Goes Berserk

Gu Changsheng lay in a coma, and with the mainstay of the Gu Residence indisposed, Mr. Ban Shan pondered deeply for a long time before ordering the news to be sealed off, not even notifying Prince Mu’s Mansion!

Crown Prince Sima Changhao of Southern Chen leading more than ten thousand light cavalry on a mission to Great Zhou, Mr. Ban Shan naturally knew!

Moreover, he had seen a hint of chaos looming over the world from the midst of it all!

At such times, it would be best not to distract Zhou Mu. Careful response was the real matter at hand!

Si Xi and Kun Nu, among others, thought for a moment and felt that Mr. Ban Shan’s concerns were very reasonable, and immediately decided to send the household doctor back home for now, to sort out those in the family who knew about it, and wait until their own lady woke up before making further plans!

This arrangement, though, seemed to be foolproof!

But, even though all the doctors said his lady was just asleep, they still dared not take it lightly, staying awake through the nights in the Medicine Tower, just wishing for her to wake up soon!

”Grandfather, why hasn’t mother woken up from her sleep yet?” Little Bao, with sleepy eyes, opened his and looked at Mr. Ban Shan, who had never left the bedside, and asked with confusion.

Mr. Ban Shan had stayed awake all night and, on top of being advanced in years, couldn’t help but look exhausted. Yet, hearing his sweet grandchild’s question, he still hastened to soothe him, ”Dear grandchild, your mother is just tired. Once she has rested enough, she will wake up. Don’t worry, little one!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Ze blinked his large, pitiful eyes and said, ”Usually, it’s mother who wakes me up and accompanies me in my martial training, but now there’s no one to accompany me...”

Mr. Ban Shan, hearing this, forced a cheerful laugh as he reached out to ruffle his little head and said indulgently, ”Don’t worry. Go wash up with Xiao Si Xi, then visit your master next door, and let Si Xi accompany you to the martial arts training ground to practice on the Plum Blossom Piles!”

”But grandfather, I want to stay by mother’s side...” Little Bao hesitantly spoke up.

This time, Mr. Ban Shan shook his head. ”Studying and training in martial arts is like rowing against the current; if you don’t keep moving forward, you’ll fall behind. There can be no slack, dear grandchild. After finishing your lessons for the day, you can come stay with your mother.”

Hearing this, Little Bao reluctantly nodded, ”Alright... I’ll go check on Peacock, Lion, and Tiger first.”

Mr. Ban Shan nodded in satisfaction and waved to Si Xi to lead him out.

”Master, why don’t you go back and rest for a bit? I’ll watch over the lady here,” Dong Lei suggested with a worried look as he bent forward.

Mr. Ban Shan, despite his age, insisted on staying up all night, personally giving his daughter water and covering her with blankets, taking care of her meticulously without a single fault to be found.

The whole family, seeing this, felt both reverence and relief!

They held a deep respect for Mr. Ban Shan’s status and position, and were touched by his deep affection for their lady, which was even more than for his own daughter!

At Dong Lei’s words, Mr. Ban Shan slowly shook his head. As long as his beloved daughter Changsheng remained unconscious, he couldn’t put his worried heart to rest!

”Fetch some water for this old man to wash up,” Mr. Ban Shan instructed Dong Lei in a low voice, as if afraid of waking his own daughter.

Seeing this, Dong Lei sighed and bowed before stepping back.

”Scholar Yan Tai, go bring that soft chair from downstairs up here for this old man!” His daughter was still asleep, and he was worried that he couldn’t hold out much longer at his advanced age, but he would not leave her side no matter what!

The heavens had pitied his lonely life and given him such a perfect daughter, which was an act of immense kindness; if he failed to cherish her, it would be an unforgivable neglect!

Hearing the request, Scholar Yan Tai bowed his head in acknowledgment and walked out to fulfill the task.

The family bustled around the Medicine Tower, even the sickly Tan Nv had come to visit several times, each time forcibly carried back by other doctors.

Accustomed to living in the shadows, Tan Nv was not used to having so many people unafraid of her chaotic eyes and was unable to decline their presence!

”Changsheng’s Mother went through so much effort to heal you, you can’t fail us at a crucial moment and break down again!” Hu Yihai said, tugging at Tan Nv’s sleeve with dissatisfaction.

”Exactly! Lady Changsheng is just asleep and will wake up soon. Don’t worry about it! Go back and rest, we will inform you when Lady Changsheng wakes up,” Hu Tiandong said firmly alongside his father.

Lady Changsheng had said that having eyes without whites wasn’t wrong, just like the Young Master was born with a lump on his chin - it’s simply an illness!

Some illnesses could be cured, while others, inherited from parents, could not!

In the end, it boiled down to one thing - Tan Nv wasn’t a monster; her parents just hadn’t managed to give birth to her properly!

With worry in her eyes, Tan Nv watched the motionless figure on the bed, her chaotic eyes flickering sharply, but in the end, she was pulled away.

”Ah!”

A roar of rage startled everyone who had gathered in the Medicine Tower after breakfast, causing their hearts to quake.

”The Yue Xilou... It’s coming from Flower Peacock Yue Xilou’s room!” Borjigin Nian was the first to stand up and ran towards the neighboring Yue Xilou.

Little Bao, not wanting to be outdone, ran as fast as he could!

Had his Peacock, Lion, and Tiger awakened?

Inside the room, on the large bed, Yue Xilou sat cross-legged, his face contorted with a savage and frantic expression.

Little Bao, staring with his round, plump, and black gleaming eyes, hesitated for a moment before taking two soft, timid steps forward and said in a soft, muffled voice, ”Peacock, Lion, and Tiger...”

It had been so long since he last saw his Peacock, Lion, and Tiger - why did they seem not at all happy to see him, showing an extremely angry demeanor?

The little meat bun immediately wore a face full of grievance...

”Out! Everyone who’s not involved, get out!” Yue Xilou, upon seeing a crowd surge into the room, waved his sleeves with a look of disdain and coldly shouted!

A group of doctors looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

Actually, they wanted to take the pulse of the man before them, who was so beautiful he hardly seemed human, to ensure he was unharmed...

Seeing their Peacock, Lion, and Tiger’s patience running thin, and impatience flickering in his eyes, the little meat bun hurriedly spoke up, ”Uncles, why don’t you all step out first? My Peacock, Lion, and Tiger is not presentable and does not like meeting with others...”

His Peacock, Lion, and Tiger loved beauty the most! He wouldn’t step out the door if he wasn’t perfectly presentable, let alone in such a state!

Hearing this, everyone suddenly seemed to understand, took another look, and then reluctantly began to withdraw!

So beautiful! Sheer beauty!

Unlike the unique beauty of His Highness Prince Mu, but both equally captivating!

A man being this beautiful is truly a sin!

Everyone had envy in their hearts, and of course, there was jealousy and resentment...

If they were as devastatingly handsome themselves, would they still worry about lacking the attention of beautiful women?

Hu Tiandong, not ready to give up, took another glance, only to receive a sharp look from Yue Xilou, and then, with a crestfallen face, he turned to leave...

Only a man who could match His Highness Prince Mu could be worthy of the perfectly beautiful Lady Changsheng...

Hu Tiandong mocked himself with a smile. Lady Changsheng had outstanding individuals by her side, and he really had no chance at all...

Seeing all the outsiders had left, Yue Xilou, with his eyes nearly splitting with rage, slapped the bed furiously and gritted his teeth, ”Where’s that girl Gu Changsheng? Tell Gu Changsheng to come out to this tower master!”

He clearly remembered that, when he had collapsed from exhaustion, Gu Changsheng was perfectly able to stand up!

This... this simply infuriated him!

”Uh... Peacock, Lion, and Tiger, why are you looking for mother...” Why did he look like he was seeking revenge... The second half of the sentence, the little meat bun, wringing his chubby little fingers, didn’t dare to ask aloud.

”Why? Let her return my Inner Strength!” Yue Xilou, upon hearing this, immediately puffed up his cheeks and glared, and then, with a face full of deep resentment, slapped the bed several times, unable to help but wail, ”My Inner Strength! My Inner Strength! To think that it was swallowed up by that girl Gu Changsheng!”

Hearing this, everyone exchanged confused glances with their big innocent eyes.

It was Borjigin Nian, covetous of Yue Xilou, who moved a bit closer with a sneaky look on her face and asked tentatively, ”That... that Flower Peacock, may I ask a question?”

Yue Xilou glanced at her, too lazy to bother, and continued beating his chest and stomping his feet!

”Did all your cycle of sixty years of Inner Strength... disappear?” Borjigin Nian carefully continued, pointing with the pad of her little finger and squinting her eyes.

She should not have brought it up, for as soon as she did, Yue Xilou exploded like a lit keg of explosives!

”Cycle of sixty years of Inner Strength? It was more than a cycle of sixty years of Inner Strength! Even the Inner Strength that this tower master worked so hard to build up during two months of seclusion, it’s all been swallowed by that girl Gu Changsheng without a trace left!” Yue Xilou no longer had the ethereal demeanor of the past, but was instead shouting and clawing angrily.

He remembered clearly, knowing he was destined to die, he had poured all his strength into transferring his Inner Strength to Gu Changsheng, and by the end, although he had given up his will to live, he still faintly felt that it was Gu Changsheng actively drawing his Inner Strength!

Godfather! With that momentum, if she hadn’t stopped on her own, his entire cultivation might have been completely devoured by her!

”Uh...” Hearing Yue Xilou’s words, Borjigin Nian was suddenly speechless with shock...

A cycle of sixty years of cultivation, plus the cultivation Yue Xilou had developed over two months of seclusion...

How massive was that?

Borjigin Nian unconsciously swallowed...

The reaction of everyone present with martial training was the same...

A cycle of sixty years... That’s sixty whole years of Inner Strength...

Si Xi’s lips were already trembling so much they were about to cramp. A full cycle, plus some, of sixty years worth of Inner Strength, just like that, consumed by his lady!

His lord had received a cycle of sixty years of cultivation in the past, and had to disperse a third of it to avoid harm, yet Lady Changsheng had now received even more!

Lady Changsheng had already defied the odds by surviving the life-threatening power transfer, and if she could miraculously harness all this cycle-plus of Inner Strength...

Then... then wouldn’t Lady Changsheng’s Inner Strength be even higher than his lord’s by a measure or two?

At the thought, Si Xi was suddenly indescribably horrified...

Was this the typical pattern of the woman becoming stronger while the man became suppressed?

”It’s all over! Now it’s truly over!” Borjigin Nian suddenly seemed to think of something, then stood still with an utterly defeated expression...
