Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 508: Chapter 366 Topple Again and Again

”Women and vile characters are the most difficult to raise!” Yue Xilou scolded lightly, fending off attacks from all sides.

Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian grew even more furious, her eyebrows shooting up in anger, ”You, who look a hundred times more feminine than a woman and dress even more extravagantly than a woman, have the nerve to call yourself a man? You’re just another high-maintenance woman!”

It was rumored in the Itinerant World that Yue Xilou had one taboo, which was that he detested being told he looked like a woman!

Even though he was clearly so beautiful, surpassing women by a hundredfold!

Therefore, as soon as the words left Borjigin Nian’s mouth, Yue Xilou’s face darkened.

Unfortunately, Borjigin Nian was in such a fit of rage that she completely failed to notice the change in Yue Xilou’s expression, recklessly tugging at his arm as she fought.

”It’s so hard to deal with women and vile characters, but when did I ever ask you to take care of me? Do you have to be so disdainful?” Borjigin Nian yelled as she fought.

”How dare you!” Yue Xilou’s face darkened like ink, and he raised his hand to send a palm strike her way!

Borjigin Nian’s movements stalled as she felt a sudden pain in her recently healed shoulder, and the next instant, she was flying towards the bed-bound Gu Changsheng.

”Ah!”

Borjigin Nian cried out in alarm as she desperately looked back in midair, Gu Changsheng’s prone form already inches away!

Yue Xilou’s palm strike was not backed with much force; he merely intended to swat away the irritating fly in front of him!

But the instant his hand touched her, Borjigin Nian’s face turned deathly pale!

He too was startled!

By the time he came to his senses, Borjigin Nian was about to crash onto Gu Changsheng on the bed, and without hesitating, Yue Xilou leaped after her, hoping to catch her in time!

Gu Changsheng’s unconscious state had already filled the residence with fear and silence; if he were to be harmed by their fall, the situation would become unmanageable!

Yue Xilou could already picture his beloved disciple’s tearful face and imagine the accusing stares from everyone in the residence!

Just the thought of this made Yue Xilou’s face grow even gloomier!

”Thud!”

”Thud!”

Events unfolded in the blink of an eye. Before Borjigin Nian could react, she was knocked away from the bed by a surge of Inner Strength!

Yue Xilou, who had leaped to stop Borjigin Nian from crashing onto Gu Changsheng, was caught off guard and could not avoid her in time!

Eye to eye, and only inches apart, both were momentarily stunned...

”P...Peacock, Lion, and Tiger...”

A small child holding a small basin of water stood at the door, eyes wide with disbelief...

The two, arranged in a compromising position on the floor, flashed a brief look of discomfort, but Yue Xilou’s expression was especially terrible as it cycled through a spectrum of emotions, grinding his teeth as he ordered, ”Get up now!”

This woman! This woman who was lying atop him motionless, and now she even dared to space out!

Caught up in a close inspection of Yue Xilou’s flawless, porcelain-like face, Borjigin Nian, upon hearing his words, returned to her senses in confusion, stuttering, ”Oh! Right! I’m getting up, getting up now!”

As Borjigin Nian spoke, she attempted to rise, pressing her arms against Yue Xilou’s chest to push herself up...

”Thud!”

”Wow!” The small child dropped the basin, exclaiming in shock before hurriedly covering their little mouth, a look of horror and disbelief on their face!

What... what had they seen?

Aunt Nian was really fierce! It was one thing to knock over Peacock, Lion, and Tiger once, but to do it a second time?

Truly ferocious! So truly, truly ferocious!

If their mother saw this, she would surely be thrilled!

”I’m... I’m so sorry! Sorry!” Borjigin Nian hastily apologized.

Dear Godfather! She couldn’t believe she had forgotten about her injured shoulder and had tried to use both arms to lift herself up!

Losing her balance again, weren’t you? Falling over again, weren’t you? Such a huge embarrassment!

Borjigin Nian struggled to rise, her face white as a sheet...

The child watched, mouth agape and unable to look away.

Yue Xilou frowned deeply, contemplating the girl before him, whose face was clearly not looking normal. He raised his hand to support her but struggled to decide where to begin.

The shoulders, perhaps, but he had only touched them once before, and that had caused her face to go as white as it had. Yue Xilou was somewhat reluctant to touch her there again!

And where else could he reach? What other place was there to touch?

You surely can’t expect him to lay his hands on a lady’s chest?

Borjigin Nian could feel the return of her shoulder pain, and the lack of strength in her entire upper body only added to her embarrassment and discomfort!

Seeing this, Yue Xilou knew he couldn’t hesitate any longer. With one arm, he embraced Borjigin Nian’s waist and used the other to support himself off the ground, springing both of them to their feet in an instant!

The child watched intently with wide eyes, full of excitement.

The moment he got to his feet, Xilou leapt several steps to one side as if fearing another pounce from Borjigin Nian.

With one hand clutching her shoulder, Borjigin Nian’s face darkened at the sight.

”What are you standing there for? Go find a doctor now!” Xilou turned around only to see his beloved apprentice watching the commotion with glee and immediately snapped.

Upon hearing this, the little bun snapped back to reality, ”Oh! Find a doctor! I didn’t see anything! Nothing at all!”

Seeing the little bun leave, Xilou’s expression softened.

”Peacock, Lion, and Tiger, I really didn’t see anything! Really!” The little bun suddenly doubled back, sticking his head out from the doorway with a seriously solemn promise.

He really hadn’t seen anything!

He had just seen it all, that was all!

Once mother woke up, he would definitely tell her everything without leaving a single detail out, to make her happy too!

”Scram!” Xilou’s face sunk like ink as he bellowed with rage.

Seeing this, the little bun dared not delay and scampered downstairs at once!

Mother had said that it was wrong to stroke a tiger’s beard! One must know when to stop!

He was a smart, good baby and wouldn’t really anger the Lion Tiger, for that would lead to rather pitiful consequences!

As soon as the little bun left, Xilou’s expression grew even more unpleasant. He glared at the young woman before him and said through clenched teeth, ”You dare roughhouse with the Tower Master while you’re still injured! You dare enrage me!”

Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian said with her head lowered and an embarrassed expression, ”Who knew you were so petty, ah? There are so many places to slap, why did you have to hit the shoulder...”

Her shoulder was injured, for heaven’s sake! It was a wound caused by Futu Demoness’s palm strike mixed with a Gu!

Xilou had incredibly managed to hit the exact spot!

”If not the shoulder, where else would you have me to slap?” Xilou said, and while speaking, he disdainfully swept his eyes over Borjigin Nian from head to toe, curling his lip arrogantly, ”Your body doesn’t even have two ounces of flesh on it; no wonder you don’t look like a woman but more like a shrew!”

”Who are you calling?” Borjigin Nian immediately widened her eyes and roared in anger upon hearing this, her pale face flushing with rage.

”I...”

”Have you no sense of decorum? While Changsheng’s Beloved Daughter lies unconscious, you dare to make a racket in her room!”

Just as Xilou was about to speak, he heard a stern reprimand.

Mr. Ban Shan rushed over in a panic having heard that this pair had stirred up trouble shortly after he left, his tired face stern with seriousness.

Upon seeing Mr. Ban Shan, both Xilou and Borjigin Nian lost their fiery demeanor instantly.

Even the normally haughty Xilou diverted his gaze elsewhere, not daring to meet Mr. Ban Shan’s eyes!

Although he was a man of the Itinerant World, even he had heard of Mr. Ban Shan’s renown!

The respect people had for scholars came from the heart!

With an angry face, Mr. Ban Shan scolded Borjigin Nian, who looked unwell, ”Nian Girl, you are too reckless. With injuries not yet healed from the Futu Demoness’s doing, you dare to make such a fuss!”

Upon hearing the name ’Futu Demoness,’ Xilou’s face faltered.

But Mr. Ban Shan paid him no attention, stepping forward to push Borjigin Nian onto a nearby chair, and said angrily, ”If you continue to behave so inappropriately, I will immediately write to your master and your Father King to have you recalled! I refuse to believe not one of them can discipline you!”

”Master...” Borjigin Nian wilted upon hearing this, calling out tentatively with a pleading expression on her face.

Mr. Ban Shan glanced at her and then signaled to Hu Yihai and his son who were outside the door, ”Come, check how her injury is faring!”

As soon as Borjigin Nian saw the approaching Hu Yihai and his son, her expression soured. She huddled into the chair, clutching her shoulder, and declared with a raised chin, ”No! These two are hideous! I don’t want them looking at my injury!”

Her injury was on her shoulder, after all! She didn’t want to be examined by ugly doctors!

Both Hu Yihai and his son, Hu Tiandong, bowed their heads at these words.

In truth, the father and son didn’t consider themselves ugly! It was all relative!

If they were to be compared to His Highness Prince Mu and the current Master Lou, well, they had to admit, they weren’t exactly handsome.

Realizing this truth, the father and son exchanged a look and instantly felt dejected...

Comparisons are odious indeed!

”Do not be willful, or you will leave Gu Residence,” Mr. Ban Shan said, his face stern.

Mr. Ban Shan cherished Borjigin Nian for the deep friendship she shared with his daughter, and even more so for the fact that she had risked her life to save his daughter’s life. Yet, compared to his own daughter, this girl was far more troublesome, a constant source of worry!

”Master... Gu Changsheng has prepared medicine for me. It’s in my room. I will go back, and I can apply it myself!” Borjigin Nian begged, almost whimpering.

Although the women of Northern Mongolian were uninhibited by nature, they also valued chastity!

Not only were these doctors ugly, but they were also men!

With her injury located on such a place as the shoulder, even for a check-up, she’d have to remove her clothes; how could that possibly happen?

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ban Shan thought for a moment, then turned to look at Xilou, who had been silently standing aside, ”Are you expecting me to clean up the mess you’ve made? According to Changsheng’s Beloved Daughter, you may walk the line between right and wrong, but you are a person of openness and integrity who is not concerned with trifles!”
