Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1172: Chapter 839: Zhou Mu Gets Put in His Place

Gu Changsheng heard this and was immediately struck as if by a bolt of heavenly lightning, completely disoriented!

Alright then!

The world is vast, and there’s no lack of strange things!

She originally thought that becoming the Southern Emperor was already quite an achievement. It wasn’t until today that she realized not only were there people scheming against her behind her back, using her as a pawn, but any random wine thief or old beggar could easily pop out as an immensely powerful immortal!

The leader of the top eight hidden clans!

That just sounds impressive!

Even without Wuchang Yue saying it, Gu Changsheng felt that she definitely couldn’t afford to provoke this!

She unconsciously tugged down her rolled-up sleeves, again and again, shifting from her martial stance to a normal standing position.

Gu Changsheng felt that she was definitely someone who could adapt to circumstances, and putting aside pride might be wise. This old beggar Wu Xi just slapped her once, and considering he’s over a hundred and twenty years old, she couldn’t really fight him, could she?

This is called respecting the elderly and loving the young. Understand?

The key is, she couldn’t win even if she tried! Hmph!

”Heh heh... Senior, you should have said earlier! This young lady is ignorant and inexperienced, almost failing to recognize family and causing discord!” Gu Changsheng snickered awkwardly, looking at the old beggar in front of her.

The old beggar Wu Xi enjoyed Gu Changsheng’s reaction immensely, promptly raising a hand to tousle his messy, straw-strewn white hair, and snorted coldly, ”Now you see how impressive this old man is?”

”I see! I see!” Gu Changsheng nodded repeatedly, but secretly sneered. Hell, if she dared to say otherwise, wouldn’t this old guy fight her to the death?

Fighting to the death against someone possibly already in the Conquest Realm, Gu Changsheng confessed to herself, she wouldn’t stand a chance!

She should just call it a day and rest!

”Medical Immortal Senior, Changsheng here is ignorant, unaware of your venerable true face. Your grand self should overlook the faults of a young lady!” Zhou Mu, never having seen his woman so humbled before, stepped forward immediately, speaking in a low voice.

”Get lost! You rascal, just because you have a bit of looks, you bully this old man’s disciple! Back in the day, even I was charming enough to captivate countless beauties! Stand aside, stop obstructing me from bonding with my disciple, or I’ll beat you! You’re just a junior who hasn’t even reached the Conquest Realm’s doorstep, daring to compete with me for people, you’re asking for a beating!” The old beggar Wu Xi, upon hearing Zhou Mu’s words, waved his hand dismissively, his old face full of disdain.

Zhou Mu looked as if ink could drip from his expression upon hearing this.

”Pfft!” Gu Changsheng found the situation so amusing she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Forgive her for breaking character!

She’d never seen this evildoer of hers so thwarted before!

Even back in front of her own father, this evildoer was only whacked with a ruler, never before so humiliated!

But looking at her own evildoer being held back, why did she feel a bit of schadenfreude, secretly delighted?

Gu Changsheng introspected a bit, this wouldn’t do, this evildoer of hers was supposed to partner with her for life. Her laughter made his face darker still, she should really quit while ahead!

Therefore, Gu Changsheng immediately stood next to Zhou Mu, wrapping an arm around his, clinging tightly, raising her chin to look at the Medical Immortal Wu Xi, speaking defiantly, ”Medical Immortal, think you’re so great? Even if you’re the Medical Immortal, even if your ancestors are distantly related to my Witch Clan, I’ll tell you this, I’m not your disciple!”

Her lineage was of another time’s Yhan’s! She wasn’t randomly going to end up as a disciple!

To unknowingly gain such a shameless master, wasn’t this asking her opinion? It was utterly inhumane, completely ignoring her rights!

”Hey! You foolish girl blinded by love! If this old man says you’re my disciple, then you are! To support a man, you’d even refuse to enter the Medicine King Valley, are you out of your mind?” Upon hearing this, the Medical Immortal Wu Xi blew his beard and glared, he had never met anyone who dared to challenge the Medicine King Valley before, this was simply intolerable!

”Your brain was probably run over by a door! I think calling you Medical Immortal is giving blind eyesight to everyone in the world! You’re clearly a beggar, not only a beggar but also a wine thief! Looking like this, completely ink-blackened, do you still dare claim you were charming in your youth? My family’s evildoer leaves you in the dust within seconds, miles away!” Gu Changsheng, known for never losing in verbal battles, retorted disdainfully.

Zhou Mu, whose arm was hugged tightly by Gu Changsheng, immediately relaxed into a smile like the moon breaking through clouds, an elegant smile emerging, momentarily so captivating it was hard to look away.

The Medical Immortal Wu Xi was also briefly stunned by Zhou Mu’s smile, finding it increasingly difficult to tolerate him, glaring angrily with a puffed beard but helpless.

There’s nothing to be done, after all; who made him old now?

”Fine! Heroes don’t boast of past glories! Your venerable self shouldn’t always taunt my evildoer, where’s the demeanor of an expert, it’s a shame that others call you a Medical Immortal, losing that standing.” Gu Changsheng sniffed in response.

She was truly afraid that the aging Medical Immortal Old Man would faint from anger!

If that happened, there would be no way to clean up the mess, because it seemed Medicine King Valley was not a place you wanted to offend!

”Mom, you’re really losing your value more and more...” The little dumpling looked at his mom clinging to Uncle Wood’s arm and constantly defending him, pouting and shaking his head, ”Old Handsome Grandpa was right, once a girl grows up, she can’t be kept, keep her and she’ll become an enemy! Tsk tsk...”

”Gu Yaoyao!” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s face turned green immediately. She turned back, eyes blazing with anger, and spoke through gritted teeth towards her son who was exposing her secrets.

”Ha! Mom! The moonlight is really nice tonight! Perfect for stealing some wine, don’t you think?” The little dumpling sensed trouble from his mom’s reaction and quickly glanced up at the sliver of moon hanging in the night sky, deftly changing the subject. Then, taking advantage of his mom’s moment of distraction, he grabbed Wuchang Yue, pulled Little Monk Bu Jie along, and bolted away.

”Mom, I’m so hungry, we’ll be waiting for you at the Dining Hall...”

Watching the little dumpling slip away like an eel between the legs of the crowd, Gu Changsheng was utterly helpless.

The people of the Guo Family were even more helpless.

With things having escalated to this point, capturing the Wine Thief was out of the question. After all, he was Medical Immortal Wu Xi of the current Medicine King Valley generation; even if you lent them a hundred guts, they wouldn’t dare to catch him!

This farce has reached a point where it had to fizzle out unresolved!

”Disciple, listen to the words of this old man, beautiful men are no good, pleasing to the eye but useless, why cling to him? Come, come, following this old man to study medical skills is the proper course...” The Medical Immortal Old Man looked at Gu Changsheng clinging to Zhou Mu’s arm, finding them unpleasant no matter from which angle, and immediately stepped forward, intending to separate them.

The attire of the Medical Immortal, with those pitch-black fingers, unsurprisingly left a few conspicuous black handprints on the sleeves of Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu.

Glancing at the old man trying to tear her and her evildoer apart, Gu Changsheng felt quite helpless.

The two exchanged a glance, shook their heads simultaneously, then turned around, arms still entwined, walking in unison towards the Dining Hall.

The crowd at the martial arts training ground parted immediately, respectfully following behind them.

The actions of the Medical Immortal Old Man were even faster, following closely beside Gu Changsheng, barking non-stop.

”Disciple, while it’s human nature to love beauty, there’s another vast sky beyond these beauties. Let this old man take you to experience it!”

”Disciple, there are countless handsome men in the world. Without even mentioning others, aside from our Medicine King Valley, from the eight hidden great families, I’m the only barren old stock left. Other families, there are indeed a few good-looking lads. Disciple, let this old man take you to inspect them. If you fancy one, I’ll help carry him back to become a Bandit Chief’s Wife for you!”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but twitch her lips.

Darn it, is this Medical Immortal Old Man a Wine Thief or a Mountain King?

”You can’t carry handsome men! You have to deceive them! Your method isn’t tender-hearted at all! Away with you!” Gu Changsheng still clung to Zhou Mu’s arm, waving her hand dismissively in disgust to brush off the old man clinging to her other side.

”Deceive them? Hmm?” Zhou Mu, nearby, couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his eye upon hearing this.

”Uh...” Gu Changsheng nearly bit her own tongue and deftly replied beside Zhou Mu’s ear, ”That’s not the point, the point is this old man is someone we can’t fight!”

If you can’t beat them, you’ve got to yield! That’s Gu Changsheng’s life principle! Absolutely have to act within one’s limits, can’t fight to the death!

”Hehe...” Zhou Mu, hearing this, lightly chuckled softly.

”Hey! Disciple, don’t be constantly romancing with that lad, what’s so good about him?”

”He looks good!” Gu Changsheng answered without hesitation.

”...” The Medical Immortal Old Man was taken aback, grinding his teeth as he glared at the flower-like smiling Zhou Mu, ”Then I’ll cripple him!”

”You dare! Let me clarify, I am not your disciple! Stop associating me as your disciple, darn it!”

She definitely did not want such a sloppy and nonsensical master!

The key point was she couldn’t beat this master!

Absolutely not!

”Hey! Disciple! Didn’t that little girl mention, tracing back millennia, we share the same lineage! You see, this old man has neither son nor daughter, a solitary man, is it easy for me to find a talented disciple to pass on my legacy? Disciple, how can you ruthlessly refuse this old man? My life has been miserable enough already...”
