Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 506: Chapter 364: There Must Be Heaven and Earth Treasures on Her

If Gu Changsheng truly relied on luck, Yue Xilou would feel even more discontent!

Seeing Yue Xilou taking the matter so seriously, everyone approached and surrounded the bed tightly.

”What else could it be if not luck? Gu Changsheng doesn’t have Inner Strength, we all know that!” Borjigin Nian stared at the peacefully sleeping Gu Changsheng on the bed, furrowing her brows in confusion.

”Exactly! My wife knows martial arts, but relies solely on the advantages of her position and body speed, not a trace of Inner Strength!” Si Xi immediately agreed.

It was well known that Gu Changsheng possessed martial arts skills, yet hers were different from theirs!

Compared to their martial arts, Gu Changsheng relied entirely on movement technique and speed, a kind that broke through the physical limitations of the human body!

It was purely external martial arts, entirely unconnected to Inner Strength!

”During the Power Transmission, you four were downstairs; did you notice anything amiss?” Yue Xilou’s stunning face remained tense, and her brows were tightly furrowed as she unwillingly asked.

Upon hearing this, they looked at each other and all shook their heads.

”At that time, I was so scared I didn’t know where to put my hands. I didn’t notice anything wrong; ask them!”

When Yue Xilou looked her way, Borjigin Nian quickly waved her hand and shook her head.

Despite being the closest, she was still holding a lethal weapon. She was too scared for her life, as a strikingly handsome man nearly died at her hands; she had no mind to care about anything else!

Seeing this, Yue Xilou immediately turned her gaze to the other three.

Si Xi, Kun Nu, and Ning Er exchanged glances and still shook their heads.

”There wasn’t anything wrong!” Si Xi firmly shook his head.

The act of Power Transmission was so dangerous, with two lives hanging by a thread, they were watching intently and genuinely saw nothing improper!

Upon hearing their responses, Yue Xilou pondered for a moment and slowly shook her head, ”No, that’s not right! I felt the chaos and surging of Inner Strength when you shot the arrows, and I vaguely sensed a red glow emanating from that girl, Gu Changsheng!”

”She must be hiding some heaven and earth treasures!” Yue Xilou was utterly convinced as she pointed at Gu Changsheng.

”What?” Borjigin Nian exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening, ”Heaven and earth treasures? Gu Changsheng is indeed wealthy, and she has many precious items, but I have never seen such transformative treasures!”

”I have even shared a bed with her! I couldn’t be clearer about what she has on her!”

As if afraid Yue Xilou wouldn’t believe her, Borjigin Nian added another sentence.

Yet upon hearing this, a trace of confusion crossed the faces of Si Xi and the others.

”Now that you mention it, that really did happen...” Si Xi tried hard to recall the perilous scene, furrowing his brows as he spoke, ”At that time, there were surges of Inner Strength all around you, and I also seemed to see a momentary red halo...”

Kun Nu and Ning Er nodded as well, seeming to recall a brief flash of red light inside the Quiet Room...

”Search!” Yue Xilou coldly spat out a command to Borjigin Nian, motioning for her to come forward.

”Me?” Borjigin Nian raised her hand in surprise, pointing at herself, wondering why she should be the one to search. She clearly hadn’t seen any such red glow!

However, under the earnest gaze of everyone, Borjigin Nian resigned herself to the task, lifting the brocade quilt covering Gu Changsheng.

”Scalpels, never parted from Gu Changsheng.”

Borjigin Nian pulled out a package from the side of Gu Changsheng’s waist and unveiled a row of scalpels to those present...

Yue Xilou glanced at it and shook her head, ”Not this!”

Though the scalpels were of a fine and special material, they were definitely not heaven and earth treasures!

Of this, Yue Xilou was absolutely certain!

”Cloud brocade gold silk belt, never parted from Gu Changsheng!”

Borjigin Nian slowly pulled a golden belt from within Gu Changsheng’s nightclothes, then drew several silver needles from the belt, displaying them to everyone and arching an eyebrow, ”Her life-saving hidden weapons, silver needles!”

Under Borjigin Nian’s expectant gaze, Yue Xilou once again shook her head, ”Not this either! Keep searching!”

Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian’s face fell, her expression becoming annoyed as she looked at the others, bitterly speaking, ”Taking advantage like this doesn’t feel right, does it?”

Godfather! If Gu Changsheng wakes up and finds out she had been searched, wouldn’t she chase her all over the courtyard?

If it had been the old Gu Changsheng, that might still be fine, but now Gu Changsheng possessed over a Cycle of sixty years’ worth of Inner Strength!

The concern Borjigin Nian had was already turning into reality—if she were to fight or spar with Gu Changsheng again, she would undoubtedly be beaten miserably!

Thus, this body search was definitely a dangerous endeavor!

Why did it have to fall on her?

”Aren’t you curious what kind of heaven and earth treasures can defy nature and change fate?” Yue Xilou squinted her eyes at Borjigin Nian and slowly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian immediately widened her eyes!

To be honest, she was curious!

Curiosity gripped her heart like a scratching cat!

But she was curious about why Gu Changsheng was so lucky, not about what heaven and earth treasures he had!

She had been with Gu Changsheng so long, inseparable day and night, that she was thoroughly familiar with everything on Gu Changsheng’s person!

”You must have gotten crazy thinking about heaven and earth treasures! Gu Changsheng doesn’t have any heaven and earth treasures! Look, this is her purse, this is the silver note hidden in her sleeve, this is the jade thumb ring she wears to prevent her hands from getting chafed when cutting medicine, this is her...”

Before long, Borjigin Nian had completely emptied Gu Changsheng of her possessions, laying them all out for everyone to see.

Yue Xilou examined each item, then shook her head in disappointment, ”No, none of these! Any more?”

Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian turned back towards the bed and scrambled over, ”No more, I searched her whole body... Ah! There’s one more!”

The crowd perked up at this news and turned their attention eagerly towards Borjigin Nian.

Borjigin Nian, with a look of resignation, handed over the removed forehead ornament, ”Here, this is all that’s left. I don’t know why, but Gu Changsheng always wears it, never parting with it!”

Yue Xilou merely glanced at it, then turned her head away in disappointment, ”This is her mother’s keepsake! Not this one, take it back to her!”

Yue Xilou had seen this item when Yuan Bao brought it over and had confirmed that it was nothing more than an exquisite forehead ornament, with no special attributes.

Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian shrugged her shoulders and turned back to place the forehead ornament on the resting Gu Changsheng.

”I’m telling you, Yue Xilou, are you seeing things? Gu Changsheng is mostly in red, look at her clothes, all red!” Borjigin Nian scornfully looked at the handsome man in front of her, smirking sardonically.

But in the instant she turned around, the quiet forehead ornament lying on Gu Changsheng’s forehead flickered with a mysterious light, which disappeared in a flash...

”Then tell me, Tower Master, why is it possible for her? Why can she absorb the Tower Master’s inner strength and so easily assimilate it as her own?” Yue Xilou instantly glared, looking towards Borjigin Nian with a menacing expression.

”Who should I ask if you ask me?” Borjigin Nian instantly shrugged innocently, ”Maybe Gu Changsheng is just that lucky?”

”Lucky? Haha...” Yue Xilou scoffed coldly, a glint disappearing from her eyes, ”If this is luck, it makes no sense that in hundreds of years in the Itinerant World, no one has been luckier than her!”

Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian blinked her long eyelashes, her voice dripping with scorn, ”In my opinion, you’re just jealous! Jealous you don’t have the luck Gu Changsheng does! You nearly died trying to assimilate it unsuccessfully, yet Gu Changsheng managed it so effortlessly. Feels unfair, doesn’t it? Tsk tsk...”

”You!” Yue Xilou, upon hearing this, immediately glared angrily.

”Look! I hit the nail on the head, didn’t I?” Borjigin Nian instantly gloated, pointing at Yue Xilou, ”Some people, though they look good, have really small hearts. It’s just a cycle of sixty years of inner strength! If it were me, I’d have given it to Gu Changsheng straight away, not fussing over every little thing like you are, digging into every matter?”

The crowd, upon hearing this, all looked embarrassed and lowered their heads.

Princess Nian really was speaking without knowing the pain of standing!

Borjigin Nian glanced around with a haughty sniff and arrogantly lifted her chin.

So what if she was speaking without knowing the pain of standing? After all, she didn’t have a cycle of sixty years’ worth of inner strength to give away!

”I don’t have time to argue with a little girl like you! Humph!” Yue Xilou huffed angrily, then turned and walked towards the door.

”Hey hey! Peacock, Lion, and Tiger, my mother hasn’t woken up yet!” The little dumpling, who had been hiding in the background and seeing his Lion Tiger about to storm off, hurriedly followed, tugging at the hem of his Lion Tiger’s clothes and speaking up, while casting a reproachful glance at Borjigin Nian.

Aunt Nian really shouldn’t have deliberately angered Lion Tiger who had had enough struggles already!

”What does it matter to the Tower Master whether your mother wakes up or not?” Yue Xilou coldly glanced at his little apprentice, scolding him fiercely, ”As your master, I have been in retreat for so many days, and you’ve shown no improvement at all! How exactly have you been slacking off?”

The little dumpling heard this, timidly retracted his hand, and lowered his head, not daring to respond.

He really hadn’t been slacking off! He had been very diligent! It was really just that he got caught up in Peacock, Lion, and Tiger’s venting anger!

”Peacock, Lion, and Tiger, don’t be mad... Even if you lost some inner strength and didn’t get stronger, I won’t despise you...” The little dumpling sincerely comforted him.

”You!” Yue Xilou heard this, and immediately felt so frustrated that his throat choked up, severely uncomfortable!

”What did I do to deserve eight lifetimes of bad karma!” After saying this, Yue Xilou stormed off without another word...

”Uh...” The little dumpling looked up confusedly, only seeing the back of his Lion Tiger storming off, his little face immediately furrowing into worried folds, muttering to himself, ”Did I say something wrong? Why does it seem like Peacock, Lion, and Tiger got even angrier?”
