Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1169: Chapter 837: I Am That Fake Immortal

As soon as Gu Changsheng heard her name, her eyes instantly sparkled.

The old beggar over there wasn’t done yet, still pointing at the ground and yelling to the heavens, ”Didn’t expect that I haven’t found it yet, and there’s already an impostor here? Come out! Drag them out quickly, or don’t blame me for tearing down this Gu Residence to clear my Medicine King Valley’s name!”

Gu Changsheng heard this and couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear.

The situation had taken a dramatic turn, and rather too quickly. From a simple wine thief identity, she suddenly turned into a flower thief, and now it seemed like a martial arts master had come to bust her. Just when she was despairing about finding an excuse to defend herself, the old beggar had laid out a perfect exit for her...

What is this called?

This is called destiny!

Gu Changsheng immediately felt that her fate was indeed superbly good!

She took back what she said before; she was actually quite favored by Heavenly Father, she was the chosen one!

”Senior...” Watching the old beggar jumping up and down in front, Elder Guo hesitated to explain but was stopped by Gu Changsheng, who strode forward.

Ignoring the crowd around her, Gu Changsheng stepped forward and stopped about a yard in front of the old beggar.

Zhou Mu, holding a little chubby bun, also followed slowly without moving any further, standing in front of the Guo family father and son.

”It’s you, little girly. You’re not bad-looking and you even tested me just now! Step aside, step aside! I’m already old; I don’t like beauties anymore. I prefer disciples with good aptitude now.” The old beggar lifted his disheveled, white-gray hair and glanced at Gu Changsheng before waving dismissively, ”Move away, move away! Don’t block me! This Gu Family is really bold; knowing who I am, they dare not drag out that Fake Immortal impersonating a Medicine King Valley successor? Are they waiting for me to go to Wind Cloud Mountain Villa to demand that little Manor Master hand them over?”

The Guo family father and son turned quite awkward upon hearing this.

Truth be told, in the Itinerant World, no one really had the guts to pretend to be a Medicine King Valley successor.

As Gu Changsheng watched the still-shouting old beggar, a faint bitter smile crossed her face as she pointed at herself and spoke softly, ”It’s me.”

”What do you mean by it’s you? Who are you?” The old beggar, his view blocked by Gu Changsheng, instinctively asked.

”I seem to be that Fake Immortal you mentioned who sells mutton dressed as lamb, and the one you’ve been looking for...” Gu Changsheng blinked her big eyes, sounding particularly forthright.

Alright, in this lifetime, it’s not easy being a Fake Immortal, she had to cherish it.

”What?” Upon hearing this, the old beggar erupted, raising a pitch-black hand, trembling as he pointed at the especially vibrant woman in front of him, yelling, ”It’s you, impersonating a Medicine King Valley successor?”

”It’s me!” Gu Changsheng nodded, ”I am the Gu Changsheng you speak of.”

”You audacious...” The old beggar started to scold instinctively upon hearing the first two words ’it’s me’ from Gu Changsheng, but when he heard the latter part of her sentence, he choked on his words, covering his throat with fright on his old face and started coughing, ”Cough cough cough...you...you...you are Gu Changsheng? You...you...cough cough...ack!”

Gu Changsheng looked at the old beggar, who was shocked by her, blinking her big eyes innocently.

It’s not her fault.

She was merely stating a fact.

If it terrified the old beggar, that wasn’t her responsibility!

”She...she...she is Gu...” Behind, not only the old beggar but even Guo Xianer and the others who had hurriedly followed from Muyang City from Wind Cloud Mountain Villa were frightened by Gu Changsheng’s words.

”Gu...Gu...Southern...Southern...Southern Emperor!”

Everyone knew that when the Southern Emperor was hiding incognito in the Central Plains, her name was Gu Changsheng!

Regarding this name, even if there were others with the same name across the world, once she ascended to the Southern Emperor’s position, those would respectfully change their names to avoid hers, so boldly stating herself as Gu Changsheng, there was only one!

That is Gu Changsheng!

The genuine Southern Emperor Gu Changsheng without a doubt!

”Godfather! Isn’t the one from the residence supposed to be a Medicine King Valley successor? How did the Medicine King Valley successor turn into the Southern Emperor?”

”That old begg... cough cough... didn’t the old senior just vow that there was no successor of the Medicine King Valley? Then the Southern Emperor she...”

”It’s a mess! Everything’s a mess! I’ve seen the living Southern Emperor!”

”...”

Hearing the hushed discussions behind her and the sound of knees hitting the ground one after another, Gu Changsheng was instantly thrown into chaos.

Damn it, what does it mean to see the living Southern Emperor?

Does it feel less shocking to see a dead one?

She was wrong again, these old beggars in front of her deserved a beating, and the group behind her deserved it even more!

”If you ask me, I think it was the Southern Emperor pretending to be a disciple of the Medicine King Valley and got caught by this old senior from the Valley?”

”This...”

As people from the Itinerant World, upon seeing Gu Changsheng, kneeling was a must. However, even though they kneeled, their curiosity was not suppressed!

They were really curious!

”Shut up, shut up! All of you shut up for this old man!” The old beggar in front finally recovered from his coughing and burping, shouted loudly, and then, with a loud noise, opened his arms and lunged at Gu Changsheng, ”No pretending! No pretending! This is my disciple! Heir of my Medicine King Valley!”

”Uh...” Gu Changsheng looked at the beggar old man flying towards him with a strong smell of alcohol and became chaotic at once.

One figure, faster than the old beggar, extended a long arm and precisely grabbed the old beggar by the back collar as he was about to embrace the dumbfounded Gu Changsheng tightly.

”Who? Which blind person is stopping this old man from reuniting with his disciple? It’s my disciple, whom I searched for sixty years with great difficulty, finding one skilled in martial arts and qualified in medicine, and on top of that, this disciple is also beautiful. Let go and don’t stop this old man from hugging his disciple!”

His back collar held, the old beggar flapped his two hands with excitement, looking at the woman one step away with eyes brimming with light, and his old body trembled.

”The one you want to hug is my fiancée.”

Zhou Mu grabbed the old beggar, his face darkening like ink as he spoke in a low voice.

”Huh? Your wife? Godfather! Heavenly Father is unfair, how come all the beautiful ones are already promised? Well, disciple, since you are my disciple, an heir of the Medicine King Valley, just ignore this disrespectful brat. I’ll find you another good-looking one...” The old beggar looked at the ”disciple” so close at hand, with eyes brimming with light, nearly drooling, ”Disciple, if you don’t like others, that’s fine, just wait till I find a handsome abandoned baby, spirit in search of a host, give this old man another two decades, and I’ll be a beautiful gentleman again. By then, wouldn’t it be wonderful for you to have an old bull eat young grass?”

Upon hearing the old beggar, Zhou Mu’s face immediately turned so black it seemed it could drip ink.

Gu Changsheng’s eyes suddenly lit up at the words; she adored handsome men, so she completely forgot there was an evildoer in front of her and boldly asked, ”What if the handsome abandoned baby you find grows crooked?”

”No worries! No worries! I’ll teach you a skill to help people reshape bones and change faces. If I grow crooked, you’ll handle it and make me handsome again!” The old beggar said, raising his white eyebrows at Gu Changsheng, his wretched character fully displayed, ”By then, any kind of handsome man you want, you can carve him out! Isn’t that fun?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng was disordered and lonely in the summer breeze, her mouth wide open and twitching at the corners.

Seriously, what did she just hear?

Bone reshaping and face changing?

In other words, cosmetic surgery?

This old beggar, could he be a fellow traveler who transmigrated too, knowing this craft?

”Did you mean cosmetic surgery?” Gu Changsheng hesitated, finally finding her words, and asked tentatively.

”Cosmetic surgery? Uh... if you put it like that, it’s not impossible. This skill of bone reshaping and face changing, isn’t it just altering one’s appearance? This term fits! Fits perfectly!” The old beggar laughed upon hearing this.

”Hehe...” Gu Changsheng laughed awkwardly, realizing she might have overthought this. She remembered it was a tough journey for her parents to achieve her transmigration, confronting many hurdles, unlikely to meet a fellow transmigrator!

”Hmph!”

Just as Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu exchanged glances a step apart, a cold snort sounded above their heads.

Gu Changsheng trembled at the cold snort.

Oh my, she was preoccupied with thoughts of bone reshaping and face changing for handsome men, completely forgetting there was the evildoer by her side!

”Hehe...” Gu Changsheng laughed awkwardly, watching Zhou Mu toss the old beggar a step away, offering Zhou Mu a pleasing smile, ”Well, evildoer, let me explain, I really have an interest in handsome men...”

”Hmm?” Zhou Mu cast a chilly glance at Gu Changsheng.

”Ah! That’s not right!” Gu Changsheng quickly corrected herself upon seeing this; her words were not accurate. The world seemed to know about her predilection for good looks, ”I have a taste for beauties, but as for handsome men, you’re the only one I like, honestly! Absolutely genuine!”

Gu Changsheng kept nodding earnestly as she spoke.

Behind them, the Guo Family members, who were kneeling, couldn’t help but involuntarily twitch at the corners of their mouths upon hearing this.

Southern Emperor... really bold... flirting like this in front of outsiders, is it really okay?

However, upon second thought, they found it okay because it proved the Southern Emperor didn’t consider them outsiders!

The Father and Son of the Guo Family exchanged a glance. Having spent quite some time together, they had come to understand Gu Changsheng’s temperament, and immediately stood up from the ground, signaling Zong Rong, who was kneeling, to stand up as well.

Given the current situation, waiting for the Southern Emperor to call them up seemed a bit challenging, it was wiser to be sensible and stand up on their own.

”Oi! Disciple, why are you afraid of this boy? As an heir of the Medicine King Valley, you can traverse the world horizontally, and he wouldn’t dare to stop you!”
