Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1189: Chapter 856: Unable to Live, Unable to Die!

The night was like water, shining on different places, different people, different events, while Gu Changsheng was being tormented by someone!

Wasn’t her ear about to explode?

”Disciple, let’s talk about killing the chicken to get the egg!”

”Disciple, let’s discuss how to dissect a chicken without killing it!”

”Disciple, let’s chat about medical skills, talk about the eighteen needles...”

”Disciple...”

Behind Gu Changsheng, a grey-haired old man followed closely, never leaving her side.

It’s not just about not leaving her side; the key is that his mouth was never idle, constantly chattering away.

While drawing blood from the Itinerant World’s People in the Guo Family for serum separation, Gu Changsheng was so busy that she didn’t have a free paw, and this Medicine Immortal Old Man, well... his mouth was constantly busy too!

Even a clay figure has some temper; Gu Changsheng truly couldn’t bear it anymore. She tossed the blood collection container onto the table and erupted, ”Are you some kind of Monk Tang? Is this some kind of incantation? Let me tell you, I am not cut out to become a Buddha! Heavenly Father doesn’t favor me, so stop wasting your efforts, just give it a rest!”

Damn, don’t blame her for not knowing how to respect the old and love the young!

Respecting the old and loving the young requires that the old are respectable, not like this old man with no dignity. Forgive her for her lack of education, shallow understanding, and insufficient cultivation, but she really cannot be as calm as still water, ignoring his irritating noise!

Gu Changsheng really wanted to shout to the sky, damn, it’s not fair to bully people like this!

This Medicine Immortal Old Man must have been sent by Heavenly Father to torment her, right? It must be! Otherwise, why would she feel so miserable?

”...” The Medicine Immortal Old Man was startled by Gu Changsheng’s sudden loud voice, his old face showing a look of panic, while patting his chest to calm himself, ”What’s going on? What’s going on? Wasn’t I just talking while you were listening? Why suddenly explode? Scared me to death; my heart almost jumped out! But disciple, who is Monk Tang?”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately dropped her forehead onto the table with a sense of despair, unable to lift it no matter what!

She really wanted to shout at the Medicine Immortal Old Man: Monk Tang is your mom! Your real mom! You’ve completely inherited Monk Tang’s knack for incessant chatter!

The Father and Son of the Guo Family saw Gu Changsheng looking completely dejected and exchanged glances, seeing deep worry in each other’s eyes.

No problem?

Can these prolonged battles between the Medicine Immortal Old Senior and the Southern Emperor end without problems?

These two are in control of their wife and unborn child’s lives; they can’t allow anything to go wrong!

They wanted to step forward to advise, but then thought it would be useless, one trying tirelessly to take on a disciple, and the other steadfast in not becoming one. How could they persuade them?

To be the disciple of the Medicine Immortal Old Senior, many would fight for the chance outside, even at the cost of injury. But in front of the Southern Emperor, it means nothing to him! He couldn’t care less, avoiding it as best as he could!

What were they, outsiders, supposed to say?

They had no words!

Guo Luo looked at Gu Changsheng, who was lying on the table playing dead, with a look of envy, didn’t he? If it weren’t for his father stopping him, he would have thrown himself at the feet of the Medicine Immortal Old Senior, hugging his big leg and begging to become his disciple!

The Medicine Immortal Old Senior might be a bit unrestrained, but out in the Itinerant World, it’s nothing! It’s just being genuine! How could he and the Southern Emperor be so alike, yet the Southern Emperor sees nothing in him?

This left everyone present somewhat puzzled.

”Dad, is there really no problem? Why do I feel like the Southern Emperor is already itching to punch someone? Will they really start fighting?” Guo Luo anxiously asked his father as he looked at Gu Changsheng and the Medicine Immortal Old Man glaring at each other.

If the Medicine Immortal Old Senior and the Southern Emperor were to fight, it would be the Guo Family that would suffer!

This small Guo Family, just a tiny place, wouldn’t even be enough to fill the gaps in those two masters’ teeth; in moments, it would be razed to the ground!

”You’re overthinking!” Elder Guo rolled his eyes at his son, speaking with confidence, ”The Southern Emperor and the Medicine Immortal Old Senior both know restraint, and they are the world’s finest doctors. Our daughter-in-law is heavily pregnant, about to give birth, and needs the help of these two doctors...”

At this point, Elder Guo, full of heartfelt gratification, patted his son’s shoulder and said with deep emotion, ”We should be grateful that our daughter-in-law is pregnant and in need of these two doctors. Otherwise...”

He left the rest unsaid.

But Guo Luo instantly reached sudden enlightenment.

The meaning in front of his own house was clear: otherwise, these two might really fight, and the Guo Family would indeed suffer!

At that moment, Guo Luo felt relieved, ”Thank goodness! Thank goodness! Thank goodness Xi Shi needs doctors, thank goodness! Thank goodness these two still remember their duty as doctors...”

They were quietly discussing among themselves while Gu Changsheng, who was lying on the table waiting for the blood serum separation results, felt like dying at the sight of the old man staring at her eagerly, like a wolf or tiger.

Suddenly feeling that life was devoid of meaning, what should she do?

Gu Changsheng sniffled, speechless as she looked up at the sky, laying there like a corpse...

”Disciple, what’s wrong with you? Are you sick? Come, come, if you’re sick, come to me, and I won’t charge you!”

”Disciple? Disciple? Did you die? No problem, even if you’re hanging by a thread, I can keep you alive. I guarantee you won’t be able to die even if you want to!”

The Medicine Immortal Old Man raised his hand, pushing Gu Changsheng who was slumped on the table, and spoke casually, raising his eyebrows indifferently.

”Pfft!”

”Thud!”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng slammed her head onto the table.

This time, the impact was real.

According to Gu Changsheng’s guess, she felt that a huge bump was definitely going to swell on the back of her head!

But that’s not the point!

The point is the eager old man in front of her.

Looking at the Medicine Immortal Old Man up close, Gu Changsheng’s Phoenix Eyes flared up in anger.

For crying out loud!

What does he mean by that?

Is it what I think it means?

In front of his seniority, does that mean I can’t live or die, right?

Does it have to be so absolute?

Can’t a person just fake death decently?

Gu Changsheng really wanted to just smash her head and die, but she thought, even if she did, she might not be able to die, because the old man in front of her had already begun rolling up his sleeves, holding a few silver needles between his bony fingers...

Those silver needles, Gu Changsheng was all too familiar with! Because she herself was an expert with needles!

So...

This old man is all set, just waiting for me to seek death, and then bring me back to life, right?

Gu Changsheng had no doubt about it! If she dared to seek death, this fellow would definitely, without hesitation, act to keep her alive, making it impossible for her to die even if she wanted to!

But, who is Gu Changsheng? Does she look like someone who would seek death? She was just pushed to the brink, feeling a bit tired of living...

”People say life is like a disguised rape, if you can’t resist, then you might as well change your position and enjoy it...” Gu Changsheng lay on the table, murmuring weakly with a look of utmost despair...

”That’s right! That makes sense, disciple. Just change your position and enjoy it! What’s wrong with being my disciple? Why are you making such a fuss about living or dying? You’re making me question life along with you!” The Medicine Immortal Old Man immediately chimed in enthusiastically upon hearing this.

Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes dramatically at the table, she didn’t even have the courage to look at the Medicine Immortal Old Man, ”I want to, but my heart is not content or willing!”

”Why? Why exactly? What’s wrong with me that you’re rejecting me so? My Medicine King Valley is a Sacred Land in the eyes of doctors! Everywhere are treasures of heaven and earth, rare herbs and medicines, whatever you want, disciple, if you just acknowledge me as your master, all these are yours! All yours!” The Medicine Immortal Old Man spoke very dejectedly, dangling the bright bait.

”Do I look like someone too poor to make ends meet?” Gu Changsheng said weakly, ”If you had said this to me two or three years ago when I had nothing, not a penny to my name, I would have nodded without hesitation, happily followed you, but now, I am the Southern Emperor! Do you understand Southern Emperor? Damn it, I caused a sensation just by breaking off an engagement and sneaking away from home. If I acknowledge a master now, do you know what the consequences will be?”

”Uh? What consequences?” The Medicine Immortal Old Man was taken aback upon hearing this and asked hesitantly.

”The rumors about me joining your fold would spread like wildfire, old man. I am not scaring you; people’s words are as fierce as tigers, never underestimate the power of rumors!” Gu Changsheng turned around, staring at the Medicine Immortal Old Man with blazing eyes, speaking confidently, ”Do you believe it, if I call you master now, within three days, rumors about you will spread everywhere, your ancestors’ eighteen generations, your life’s major and minor events, trivial things will all be dug up for gossip, some will even accurately describe the color of your undergarments, they will talk about them vividly and convincingly, do you believe it?”

Damn it, where there is oppression, there will be resistance. Resistance seems impossible, yet Gu Changsheng really doesn’t want to be raped by life, so she might as well take a different path, indirectly achieving her goal!

In her heart, Gu Changsheng had a hint of self-satisfaction, dammit, the power of words can scare you to death, come on, back off, don’t hang on to her, hurting her ears, she truly admits defeat, surrendering out of fear of this old man!

It’s only midnight and she’s had enough, what about the future? Wouldn’t it really take her life?

”No way?” The Medicine Immortal Old Man was indeed frightened, as Gu Changsheng had expected...
