Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 513: Chapter 371 Gu Changsheng Awakens

”Hey! Be cautious!”

Gu Changsheng’s heart resonated with an angry rebuke, and instantly he fell back into the dark chaos!

When he awoke, the scene had changed, and he found himself facing his grandfather!

”Grandfather!” Gu Changsheng called out joyfully and lunged toward that familiar figure!

”Am I dreaming? Changsheng, you heartless girl, finally you appear in this old man’s dream!”

In his dream, Old Grand Master Gu, upon seeing his granddaughter, immediately burst into tears and voiced his reproach!

”You old man, do you know how hard it was for me to come see you? Can’t you see how bruised my forehead is?”

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng threw herself into Old Grand Master Gu’s arms and started to complain, but unexpectedly she embraced nothing but air, which immediately soured her mood!

”Ah, indeed you’re bruised! It wasn’t easy, it wasn’t easy, it hasn’t been in vain that this old man has been offering sweet fruits and melons, at least you have some conscience!” Old Grand Master Gu said, hastily trying to check, but his hand passed through Gu Changsheng’s forehead as if through thin air.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng’s face darkened, ”Damn! After all my desperate prayers, I end up seeing you yet not seeing you!”

The grandfather and granddaughter, finding themselves in this predicament, shared a helpless smile.

In such a state, even hugging while crying seemed impossible. With no other choice, they sat cross-legged facing each other, and started chatting.

”Grandpa! How did you become so thin? You should be well provided for as a respected elder, it must be because you missed me!”

”Who is the heartless one who let this old skeleton go, leaving me lonely and bereft! When I was alive, it was one thing to hop about unseen, but this is the end!”

”Grandpa! I died here, I’m probably already cremated to ashes, but I’m alive and well elsewhere!” Gu Changsheng leaned towards her grandfather, eagerly beginning her tale.

”...So, Grandpa, you now have a cute grandson named Gu Ze, I also opened a medical hall named Changsheng, earned a lot of Silver, and built a huge house!”

”I even met a man I like, who is incredibly handsome, far outshining any movie star here. I have lots of subordinates, it’s really cool! I’ve made friends too...”

Babbling on and on, Gu Changsheng became a chattering old woman, her legs crossed and her mouth barely stopping.

Elder Gu quietly listened, nodding incessantly.

”Grandpa! I’m living well over there, you must live a long and healthy life! Eat well and sleep well so you can live to a ripe old age!”

”Hearing you’re doing well, I’m not worried anymore, you troublemaker, but you must be causing a lot of trouble out there!”

”Grandpa! How could you say that? I’m a purely good person who practices medicine to help the world!”

”You a purely good person, then why didn’t you come to see this old man sooner?”

”I wanted to, but such mystical things aren’t up to me! I’m always worried about you getting too sad; not a day goes by when I’m not restless about it!”

”I’d believe in ghosts before I believed you! You heartless child!”

”...”

”...”

In another realm, Little Monk Bu Jie once again opened his eyes, stood up, and walked toward the door, ”Go and call Tan Nv over, these matters of soul summoning are not my strong suit!”

”Yes, yes! I’m on it!” Si Xi, looking thrilled, hurried outside.

It had been six days already!

One more day and it would be a week!

If she didn’t wake up again, she would be lost forever, disintegrated of soul!

Tan Nv arrived promptly and quickly ushered everyone out of the room.

Soon, Tan Nv’s husky, protracted chanting in the Foreign Tribe’s accent emanated from inside the room. The eerie, alluring sound made everyone outside inadvertently lose their focus...

Seeing this, everyone quickly stepped further back, covering their ears with their hands.

...

As Gu Changsheng enthusiastically chatted with her grandfather, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head and glanced behind her, bewildered.

”What’s wrong?” Old Grand Master Gu, sitting opposite her, asked hastily.

”I hear someone calling me! Old man, did you hear it?”

Old Grand Master Gu shook his head, perplexed.

”Never mind. Let’s continue; it wasn’t easy for me to come back!” Gu Changsheng shook her head and spoke.

”It wasn’t easy for you to come back, but you’re alive and well over there, so why did you suddenly come here? And how will you go back?” Old Grand Master Gu asked, not without concern.

”Old man, don’t worry. I have a Little Monk at home, very mystical and impressive. It was only after hearing him rebuke me twice that I could come back! I’m sure he can get me back again!” Gu Changsheng waved her hand dismissively. Her body in this era had already been burned to ashes; dreaming of returning was utterly demolished!

”I see your form becoming more and more vague, Changsheng girl, if you keep staying, could there be any problem?”

”Probably not...” Gu Changsheng looked longingly at the old man in front of her, replied uncertainly, and turned her head to look in the direction of the summoning.

”Ah! Knowing you’re still alive, I can rest easy. Go on, go! Just drop by when you have time!” Old Grand Master Gu, seeing her state, reluctantly waved his hand.

”Grandpa, it’s not that easy! With such mystical stuff, you think I can make more trips? Having this one opportunity is already a divine favor. I’m worried that once I leave, I’ll never have the chance to see you again!”

Gu Changsheng was not so optimistic—it was space-time, after all!

She had been able to travel through time once, which was already a stroke of incredible luck, desperately begged for! Who knew if there would be another chance!

Old Grand Master Gu, hearing this, showed even more reluctance on his face!

But Gu Changsheng’s figure was indeed gradually dissipating, slowly beginning to drift uncertainly...

Old Grand Master Gu steeled his heart and scolded angrily, ”Hurry up and go; if you don’t go now, you might truly be gone!”

Gu Changsheng, with tears swirling in her eyes, shook her head, her eyes unwaveringly fixed on her grandfather in front of her, ”No! I won’t go! Let me look at you a bit longer, just a bit longer!”

”Go! Hurry up and go!” Old Grand Master Gu, watching his granddaughter’s dissolving figure, waved his hands anxiously.

But Gu Changsheng kept shaking her head repeatedly! No! This departure might mean never seeing each other again!

She didn’t want that! She would rather face the disintegration of her soul, just to look at her grandfather one more time! Even just one more glance!

”Go! No matter where, just live well for me! Get out! You get back there now!” Elder Gu roared in desperation, struggling and hitting his own body, trying to wake from this dream!

Since his granddaughter came in a dream, maybe if he woke up, she could safely go back, right?

”Grandpa! Don’t be like this! I don’t want to go back! I don’t want to leave you!” Gu Changsheng extended her arms pleadingly with a lost look!

”Get out! I’ll imagine you’re in the army! Pretend you’re just traveling! You go back now and live well! I’ll live a long and healthy life eating deliciously, just get out! Go!” Old Grand Master Gu roared again, ”Go! Get out!”

”Grandpa...” Gu Changsheng felt a strong pulling force from behind, extending her arms trying to hold onto herself.

”Get out!”

”Commander! Old Commander! What’s wrong with you? Having a nightmare?” Lau Wei, hearing the noise, hurried over and saw Old Grand Master Gu sitting up in bed, drenched in sweat.

”A nightmare? No! It was a beautiful dream! Haha...” Old Grand Master Gu suddenly burst into laughter, then jumped out of bed and continually said, ”Quick! Follow me to remove Changsheng’s spirit tablet, no more bad luck!”

Seeing the Old Master, who had looked gloomy since his granddaughter’s death, suddenly become lively, Lau Wei scratched his head, bewildered.

”What’s going on here? It sounded like he was having a terrible nightmare, shouting loudly, but now he’s so spirited upon waking?”

...

”Grandpa... Grandpa...”

Gu Changsheng lay in bed, tears streaming down her cheeks, calling out anxiously...

Seeing this, Tan Nv swiftly slapped her on the head...

”Ouch! Who hit me!”

Gu Changsheng sat up from the bed in a fury, like a carp flipping over, and what she saw was Tan Nv slowly collapsing beside her...

”Tan Nv!”

Gu Changsheng exclaimed anxiously, quickly reaching out to catch her, looking at Tan Nv in her arms with closed eyes, she called out anxiously, ”Tan Nv! Tan Nv what’s wrong with you? Wake up!”

But Tan Nv was still pale with her eyes tightly shut, showing no reaction at all!

”Is anyone there? Where has everyone gone? Come here now!” Gu Changsheng, holding Tan Nv, shouted frantically at the door.

She had seen her grandfather! Scolded back by her own grandfather!

But why was it such a scene upon waking?

No sooner had Gu Changsheng spoken than the door was flung open, and a group of people rushed in anxiously...

”My lady... My lady, you finally woke up! Woo woo...” Dong Lei cried tears of joy, immediately kneeling by the bed...

”Changsheng’s Beloved Daughter...” Mr. Ban Shan, looking exhausted, also showed a hint of joy.

”Changsheng...”

”...”

”Stop! All of you shut up!” Gu Changsheng, seeing a room full of people crying tears of joy, felt overwhelmed, laid Tan Nv down on the bed properly, and asked anxiously, ”Now is not the time to be happy, who can tell me what’s wrong with Tan Nv?”

Given Tan Nv’s condition, she shouldn’t have fainted in front of her window!

What exactly was going on?

Everyone looked at the unconscious Tan Nv, not knowing how to answer.

Gu Changsheng was extremely anxious!

Although Tan Nv was usually as inconspicuous as an invisible person, she had once sacrificed herself to save her!

And she had promised to keep Tan Nv by her side forever; how could it be that after she just went to see her grandfather, she returned to find Tan Nv had fainted right in front of her?

As everyone stood there looking down in silence, Gu Changsheng, overcome by a rush of anger, suddenly stomped her foot violently.

”Bang!”

Suddenly there was a loud noise, and Gu Changsheng’s stomp had created a huge dent by the bed, causing the bed itself to tremble!

”Yikes!” Gu Changsheng exclaimed, hastily reaching out to catch Tan Nv, who was falling off the bed...
