Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1045: Chapter 2992: The Miserable, When Oil Runs Out and the Lamp Goes Dark

And to be rejected so bluntly!

Lau Yuan, Young Master Liu, being this old, encountered such a situation for the first time. At the moment…

His emotions were indeed rather complicated!

“Young Master Liu? Young Master Liu, Hunter Changsheng has left. Should we go after him?” The burly man, clearly one of Young Master Liu’s followers, said with a flattering expression.

“Chase? Are you able to beat him if you catch up? Or able to stop him?” Young Master Liu said in utter dismay upon hearing this…

“…” The burly man fell silent.

This…

There was no way to respond!

Hunter Changsheng dominated the Red Task Place, relying on genuine strength. Looking across the entire task place, no one dared openly go against Hunter Changsheng. At most, they would just tease him with words, harmlessly…

“So, Young Master Liu, are we just going to let it go like this?” The burly man asked instinctively upon seeing Lau Yuan looking sorrowful.

He must flatter Young Master Liu well, for whether he can be taken to the Orange World depends entirely on Young Master Liu’s mood!

“How can we just let it go like this? I’ve grown up adoring just one woman; to not fight for it feels stifling! Let’s follow and see how she plans to complete those two self-contradicting tasks!” Lau Yuan said, waving the folding fan in his hand with an air of gallant ambition.

Those two self-contradicting tasks are simply impossible for a human to complete!

Therefore, Gu Changsheng will eventually turn back asking for his help…

This was the mindset Young Master Liu held, so…

If he didn’t follow to see, what if he missed Gu Changsheng regretting rejecting him the first time?

Lau Yuan was eager to see Gu Changsheng return asking for his help, so he looked rather joyous!

——

Lau Yuan led three to five small followers swiftly, yet Gu Changsheng was even swifter!

Upon accepting the task, Gu Changsheng followed instructions to find Auntie Du!

Seeing Auntie Du again, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh…

Previously seen at the Huang Family, Auntie Du was trapped but still looked confident of success!

Auntie Du issued a task to kill Landlord Huang and acquire Ten Thousand Year Lifespan; not to mention, there was a childhood sweetheart waiting outside. Back then, Auntie Du was full of Spring Breeze, but now…

Now Auntie Du’s face showed desperation, no trace of vitality. Seeing Gu Changsheng first, Auntie Du struggled up from the sickbed, grasping Gu Changsheng’s hand, eyes filled with hateful roar, “Kill him! Help me kill him! I want him dead! I want him dead!”

“…” Gu Changsheng paused upon hearing, then sighed, replying with a single word, “Okay!”

Auntie Du’s target for killing was well understood by Gu Changsheng!

It was precisely Auntie Du’s heart’s former refuge, her childhood sweetheart…

Only now…

“Miss, I regret! I regret not heeding Miss’s advice, being deceived by that scoundrel, ending up adrift as now!” Auntie Du’s face eased a bit hearing Gu Changsheng agree, crying in grief greater than heart’s death…

This was a tragic story…

Essentially, the childhood sweetheart wasn’t a good person, who misled Auntie Du to kill Landlord Huang for nothing but the Ten Thousand Year Lifespan!

Yet Auntie Du steadfastly believed the childhood sweetheart was deeply affectionate, trusted him completely, and handed over the Ten Thousand Years Longevity Crystal taken from Landlord Huang. Unexpectedly, the childhood sweetheart took the Longevity Crystal and immediately cozied up with his beloved girl, preparing to advance to the Orange World…

Auntie Du watched as her childhood sweetheart and the girl strutted in front of her, enraged to the point of spitting several mouthfuls of blood, turning her whole self into a half-dead state…

“Miss, I hate him! I truly hate him! He said he was merely pretending to love me, said how could he fancy someone like me, a wilted flower? Said that a woman like me should go to Hell, shouldn’t foolishly hope for genuine companionship… Miss, I truly hate…”

With each word Auntie Du spoke, she panted, with blood threads trickling from the mouth…

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng clasped Auntie Du’s pulse. After merely a second, he withdrew his hand, speaking slowly, “One Shichen, I’ll catch that man to kneel for forgiveness before you only to die!”

One Shichen…

Almost the utmost Auntie Du could bear!

Indeed!

Auntie Du was in a stage of depleted vigor, barely able to sustain for a Shichen more…

It was only possible with Gu Changsheng’s help…

Seeing the miserable soul before him, Gu Changsheng couldn’t bear it. He took out a medicinal pill, fed it to Auntie Du…

The pill couldn’t save Auntie Du’s life but allowed her less pain during the final Shichen…

Though Gu Changsheng was a Divine Doctor, he couldn’t save a destined-to-die person…

At this moment, Auntie Du was exactly such a person…

A soul already dead, devoid of life, what could still sustain her?

“Alright!” Having taken the pill, Auntie Du’s complexion slightly improved, responding briefly before fainting…

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng rose and left the inn…

This was a rundown little inn…

Auntie Du left the Huang Family carrying Ten Thousand Year Lifespan, yet now was so impoverished due to that man…

Locating that childhood sweetheart was not difficult; Gu Changsheng found him as he dotes on his beloved…

Upon Gu Changsheng’s arrival, the man couldn’t resist. Amidst the girl’s screams, Gu Changsheng wasted no time, took the man and left…

——

In the rundown inn, Lau Yuan had already arrived with the followers.

“Is this woman dead? Hunter Changsheng acted against the employer?”

Already Auntie Du’s breaths were more out than in, Lau Yuan looked at her, blankly…

Really?

Hunter Changsheng, that strikingly beautiful woman, seemed smart, yet really violated Hunter rules, acting against the employer?

If so, how could he help her out?

Worried!

This was truly distressing!

Lau Yuan worriedly stomped, brainstorming how to heroically rescue…

“Young Master Liu, don’t worry. Hunter Changsheng probably didn’t act against the employer; otherwise, the Red Task Place would have issued punishment by now!” The burly man, surprisingly clever, said…
