Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 537: Chapter 394: The Man with an Extraordinary Background

”Whoosh!”

”Whoosh!”

In just an instant, Si Xi, Ning Er, and others had their weapons drawn!

Everyone held their breath and focused, ready for battle!

The tense atmosphere spread around in the blink of an eye!

Gu Changsheng stood atop the shaft of the carriage, her eyebrows tightly furrowed, a serious expression on her face as she spoke in a deep voice, ”Whoever is lurking and skulking, come out now or do not blame me for being heartless!”

As she spoke, Gu Changsheng’s hand was already clenched tight, ready to deliver a lethal blow to this unforeseen master at any moment!

In such a critical moment, do not blame her for preferring to mistakenly kill a hundred rather than let one person go!

After all, they had just left the military station of the Three Kingdoms not too far behind, and causing a commotion would surely alert the garrison!

That’s where the real trouble would begin!

The surroundings were still deathly silent, causing the faces of Si Xi and the others to darken profoundly!

The incomparably beautiful face of Yue Xilou no longer showed casual indifference, and her usual weapon, a folding fan, was already in her hand!

Borjigin Nian had the Long Whip from her waist in hand, channeling her Inner Strength. The whip was as straight as a sword, combining both hardness and softness, ready to strike!

Just as everyone was on high alert, there suddenly came a rustling noise from the dry grass on the side of the road!

”Uh, I would also like to come out, but my clothes have gotten caught on a dead branch, uh, could someone please, give me a hand, help me get it off?”

The next moment, a surprised and uncertain voice came through, carrying a hint of pleading!

The moment they heard this voice, Gu Changsheng and her companions were all momentarily stunned!

Aboard the carriage, Gu Changsheng’s formidable presence became a bit disordered, and she couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her mouth!

Dammit, is there really a master in this world who can be immobilized by a dead branch?

Is it that the master’s level is too low? Or is the dead branch’s skill too high?

At that instant, Gu Changsheng felt completely disheveled!

”My lady?”

”My lord?”

She was not the only one in disarray; even Si Xi and Ning Er, who were guarding the carriage, had their moment of indecision!

This change was too sudden; they were ready for battle, but what came was someone entangled in dead branches and begging for help!

Gu Changsheng glanced in the direction of the ongoing rustling and immediately felt a throbbing at her temples.

Alright, she had overlooked one thing: the only people who could have evaded the Hidden Guard’s Rosemary Sleep Incense, aside from masters, were those without any Inner Strength!

But even if they were useless, she had to confirm who the person hiding by the roadside in the middle of the night really was, whether harmful or harmless!

”Si Xi, go get that person out for me!” Gu Changsheng commanded, somewhat helplessly waving her hand.

You can’t ask her to kill someone indiscriminately without asking questions first; she can’t do that!

As she always says, she is a Doctor, not a hitman!

She could mercilessly deal with those who threatened her, but she could not bear to cross blades with an innocent person!

”Yes!” Si Xi responded, holding the iron Long Whip, and walked warily toward the dry grass and branches by the road.

In a short while, calls for help came from the side of the road.

”Ouch, ouch, ouch, be gentle, my clothes! My clothes are very expensive!”

”It’s going to tear! It’s going to tear! You’re not going to make me go home disheveled, are you?”

The voice carried a somewhat playful tone, which made Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitch involuntarily!

”Hey! You, Servant Boy, you look quite charming and pitiable, why aren’t you gentle?”

”If you just want me disheveled, just say so directly, no need for such subtlety!”

”I won’t refuse, really! I definitely won’t refuse!”

”...”

At this point, not only was Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitching, but her eyes began to twitch as well.

What in the world was this?

How could someone be so entangled in branches that Si Xi has been plucking at them for so long and still cannot get them free?

This makes no sense, does it?

And what did his words mean? What did they mean?

What does it mean he wouldn’t refuse? Not refuse to be disheveled in front of Si Xi?

Dammit, is this guy gay?

Gu Changsheng could imagine just how colorful Si Xi’s face must be at this moment!

Her Si Xi was a proper Little Eunuch after all!

Even though he’s got delicate features, he’s still a man, just minus a little ding-a-ling!

If time and place permitted, Gu Changsheng really wanted to burst out laughing!

Shit, she actually encountered a gay guy!

But his attention seems to be directed at the wrong person! Si Xi surely won’t appreciate it!

Indeed, just as Gu Changsheng expected, the next moment, a man dressed in fine clothes was unceremoniously thrown in front of the carriage by Si Xi!

To say he was thrown ”ungraciously” might even be an understatement; to put it accurately, it was really violent!

From the pitch-black look on Si Xi’s face, one could tell that the throw was anything but light!

He must have been at the end of his patience!

”Ouch! I’m gonna die! You’re gonna kill me! And to think you, Servant Boy, look quite pleasing to the eye, how can you be so heartless and not cherish beauty?”

The man on the ground tried to clamber up a few times but ultimately ended up just sitting helplessly in front of the carriage, crying out in pain and unable to get up!

Gu Changsheng stood atop the carriage’s shaft, the incident unfolding in the softly glowing light of the Luminous Pearl, and could see that the man was dressed in fine clothing. The fabric was soft and shiny, indicating that it was expensive and not something ordinary folk could afford to wear!

Upon getting a clearer look at his face, Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes suddenly narrowed!

The man was quite handsome, exceedingly so! With lips like a cherry and a nose like jade, he had a refined elegance. He wasn’t as cold and arrogant as Zhou Mu’s evildoer beauty, nor as breathtaking as Yue Xilou, but there was an indescribable pleasure in looking at him!

Gu Changsheng eyed the man, full of scrutiny, yet there was no attention paid to her by the man on the ground!

After muttering a few complaints at Xiao Si Xi, he turned his head to look around and then his gaze fell on Yue Xilou and stayed there!

Just staring intently, blatantly, eyes glued without moving!

”Wow! A beauty!” The man on the ground swallowed hard, looking dazed and drooling as he spoke.

Yue Xilou’s face turned dark instantly, and the folding fan in his hand looked poised to strike!

Gu Changsheng, quick-witted, grabbed Yue Xilou’s wrist, halting his impending outburst, and whispered, ”Calm down, calm down. At times like these, we must avoid stirring trouble or startling the snake in the grass! It’s better to first ask who this person is.”

Such boldness! To even lust after his own Flower Peacock!

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but want to give him a thumbs up!

Such commendable courage!

”Hmph!” Fury bubbled in the depths of Yue Xilou’s eyes as he glanced at Gu Changsheng and turned his head away.

”Hey, hey, hey, Beauty, don’t turn away; I haven’t had the chance to ask you, what is your surname, your name, where do you live, are you married?”

Seeing Yue Xilou turning away, the man on the ground didn’t care and continued to call out anxiously, quickly stood up from the ground, brushed off the dust from his clothes, and fearlessly kept asking questions.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng instantly started sweating bullets!

It turned out that what she had thought was mere boldness was a gross underestimate of this boy! He wasn’t just daring, he was clearly courting death!

”Beauty, you needn’t be shy, even if you’re already taken, I won’t mind it...” the man said with a lecherous face, taking another step forward.

”Stand down!” Ning Er and Kun Nu, seeing this, crossed their weapons and sharply shouted, blocking his path.

Yue Xilou couldn’t help wanting to explode, but Gu Changsheng was quick to stop him again.

Yue Xilou was restrained, but Borjigin Nian wouldn’t have it!

Borjigin Nian nimbly leaped off the carriage, hands akimbo, and started hurling insults at the man without restraint, ”Who do you think you are, some turnip head? You dare to covet the man whom I, your granny, have taken a fancy to! Let me tell you, this man is mine! You twisted male, you shouldn’t even glance at him! Look again, and I swear I won’t be gentle and will gouge out those peepers of yours to play ball with!”

Seeing that his adversary was a young lady, the man immediately put away his lascivious expression and spoke with a debonair air, ”Miss, you speak in error. As the saying goes, ’For a gentleman of fine figure, a gentleman seeks a fair match.’ I am so transparent and upright, how can you be so unreasonably forceful and aggressive?”

”You! You twisted male think you have the right to talk? Believe it or not, I can beat you so hard even your parents won’t recognize you!” Borjigin Nian retorted, primed and ready like she was itching for a fight!

Hearing this, the man arrogantly lifted his chin and spoke with moral righteousness, ”A true man of integrity, with sincere and steadfast emotions, cannot be bowed by force!”

”Pffft!” Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but burst out laughing at that!

Damn, what a weirdo!

Where did this peculiar twisted male blossom come from?

He’s already so crooked and yet has the nerve to talk about being a true man of integrity, it’s just laughably nonsensical!

”You! You! If granny doesn’t show you what for, you’ll never know that granny was raised on meat!” Borjigin Nian, red-faced and neck bulging with rage, was about to pounce with claws bared, ”Dare to compete with granny for a man, watch and see if I don’t beat you into a pig’s head!”

Si Xi, who had been silently scowling all this while, showed a flicker of struggle on his face. After a moment of hesitation and doubt, he still stepped forward and tried to calm her, ”Princess Nian, please calm your anger!”

”Calm my anger? Calm your big-headed ghost! Xiao Si Xi, you’ve been harassed too, yet you actually plead on his behalf, could it be that you’re also, one of the crooked?” On hearing this, Borjigin Nian immediately turned her fury toward Si Xi, glaring at him with an unsympathetic look in her eyes.

Gu Changsheng looked up at the sky and then carefully sensed the surroundings. Finally, he refocused and sternly said, ”Nian, stop it, this is not the time to fool around!”

Right now, they were still not far from the military camp of the Three Kingdoms!

They couldn’t afford to delay any longer!

”Xiao Si Xi?” Gu Changsheng looked at Si Xi with a questioning expression, his brow furrowed.

Si Xi, someone who had followed Zhou Mu through battles far and wide and was a man of experience, was certainly not someone to speak without reason!

The person was dressed in a way that showed he was no ordinary individual. Surrounded by a group of them, all watching like tigers, he remained unruffled, showing that his temperament was not that of an ordinary person!

It wasn’t that she was overthinking, but she trusted her intuition!

Her intuition told her that the person who could make Si Xi speak up and prevent Borjigin Nian from causing a scene must have an extraordinary background!

An extraordinary twisted male...
