Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 763: Chapter 597: The Unscrupulous Little Bun_2

Xiangka Tianji, seeing this, her expression grew even bluer with rage as she waved her hand and walked out of the Witch Gu Temple.

The Great Swamp Mountain stretched for hundreds of miles, with three main peaks. The Xiangka Clan settled on Witch Gu Peak, and one hundred miles beyond, behind Witch Gu Peak, was another mountain peak known as Three Palaces Peak. There lay the Three Palaces among the Three Palaces and Six Halls of Southern Border!

Adjacent to Three Palaces Peak was another soaring peak that, from a distance, surpassed both Witch Gu Peak and Three Palaces Peak in height. This peak, its rocky wings sprawling like a phoenix soaring through the skies, was called Phoenix Flying Peak, the former settlement of the Phoenix Clan!

Today, it had become a forbidden land in the Southern Border, with all palaces on Phoenix Flying Peak sealed and doors tightly closed. For over twenty years, no one dared step half a step onto Phoenix Flying Peak!

Xiangka Tianji, furious, left the Witch Gu Temple, huffing to go to Three Palaces Peak for reinforcements. Whether it was because of extreme anger or something else, she was somewhat unsteady, causing even her attendants to tremble with fear behind her.

After Xiangka Tianji left the Witch Gu Temple, Xiangka Song breathed a sigh of relief and slowly rose from the ground. Before leaving the temple, he saw a pair of Gu women hurriedly passing through and, already in a foul mood, he immediately yelled, ”The Witch Gu Temple is a sacred ground, how can you disrespect it like this!”

”Your Majesty, calm your anger! Your Majesty, calm your anger!” The leading Gu woman, seeing this, quickly knelt down to beg for mercy, ”It is not a breach of manners on our part; we are only following orders. Lady Tianji commands to thoroughly search each hall of the Witch Gu Temple for the son of Gu Changsheng. However, months have passed and we still have not found his whereabouts, and there have been frequent anomalies among those in the temple. Lady Tianji is furious, and we dare not delay.”

”A mere boy and you can’t find him, what use are you? Useless! All useless!” Xiangka Song, hearing this, was even more furious, and kicked the leading Gu woman aside.

The Gu woman, daring not to speak out, could only beg repeatedly for mercy!

Were they useless? How could they be useless? It was that boy who got lost under Tianji’s watch, and now they were blamed for it!

The whole Witch Gu Temple was turned upside down by a mere boy; despite their many searches, they were nearly digging three feet into the ground!

The leading Gu woman even suspected that Lady Tianji was deliberately protecting the boy, allowing him to evade such tight and urgent hunts!

Xiangka Song, after catching and admonishing the search party of the Witch Gu Temple, finally vented some of the pent-up rage in his chest, then left with a blood-stained face.

The situation outside was intense, and inside the Witch Gu Temple, everyone was on edge, uneasy even sleeping, starting with occasional diarrhea and itchy skin, escalating to bodies full of pus-filled boils, and even frequent fainting. Several thorough investigations yielded no results; the whole Witch Gu Temple was already like a frightened bird!

Some were so fearful that they dared not eat or drink, directly fainting from hunger and dehydration!

Mostly consisting of Gu women, regardless of whether from Central Plains or Southern Border, the natural desire of women to remain beautiful is the same, and the Gu women too—faced with the threat of their bodies covered in hideous pus-filled boils, they could not remain calm. Even without Lady Tianji’s supervision, they spared no effort in the search!

But no matter how strict their search, it was all in vain!

Because a certain unruly little boy stirring up chaos in the Witch Gu Temple was hiding right beneath Lady Tianji’s bedroom, in a secret chamber!

Of course, Lady Tianji wasn’t a complete fool; even if she dared not see the person in the secret chamber, she still went down twice to check after several unsuccessful searches, only to come back dissatisfied!

As for how the battle outside was going, the unruly little boy didn’t know. He only knew that his mother hadn’t come to pick him up yet, but the well-behaved little boy was quite patient. He was having a great time stirring up trouble in the Witch Gu Temple while anxiously waiting for his mother.

However, recently, the mood of the little boy, Gu Ze, was quite bad!

The reason was the old handsome guy chained up!

In the secret chamber, the grubby little boy covered the person with a blanket, his face on the verge of tears, ”Old Handsome Guy, I stole another blanket for you, to keep you warm so you won’t suffer so much.”

A bulging bundle made from several blankets, several iron chains as thick as wrists stretched out from beneath the blankets, a strand of pale hair resting on the edge of the blanket.

Hearing the little boy’s voice, Wuchang Taitian struggled to open his eyes, his face as pale as snow sketching a deeply aged smile.

Seeing him smile, the little boy also smiled, quickly unwrapping a package that contained a steaming roast chicken. He tore off a piece of chicken with his plump little hands and gently passed it towards the edge of the blanket, ”Old Handsome Guy, have some chicken. My mother says you get strength after eating meat, and then you will get better...”

”Yaoyao, good...” Wuchang Taitian said softly, his pale lips slightly parting in praise.

The little boy quickly brought the chicken to his mouth.

”Cough cough!”

He had barely taken the meat into his mouth and hadn’t even swallowed it when Wuchang Taitian started coughing, holding his chest.

The chicken was spit out from his mouth, followed by a trace of blood!

Seeing the blood, tears sprung in the little boy’s eyes, and he hurriedly crawled over to clean his chest, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, ”Whimper... Old Devout Woman, what did that bad woman feed you, whimper... mean person! Mean person! She is a mean person!”

The once unmatchable beauty now was even more weathered.

It was all because that Old Devout Woman came last time, made a scene, and stuffed something into his Old Handsome Guy’s mouth!

”Yaoyao, don’t cry! Don’t cry! She’s just a desperate dog backing into a corner, out of options!” Wuchang Taitian, seeing the little boy cry, immediately used all his strength to sit up, pulling his trembling little body into his arms...
