Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1193: Chapter 859: The Reason for Not Acknowledging a Master?

Although the man in front of them hasn’t married the Southern Emperor yet, his potential as a henpecked husband is already on full display, leaving them speechless!

What should they say? What could they say? The man’s reaction was no reaction at all, revealing just one message: he’s become accustomed to these situations, thinking of it as simply natural...

Fine!

Everyone could only suppress their feelings of frustration and depression, realizing it was all in their heads—they were overthinking!

Father and Son of the Guo Family exchanged a glance and shook their heads in unison, indicating they were similarly speechless.

In contrast, Zhou Mu remained calm and collected, his deep eyes gently watching the busy little woman. In both his eyes and heart, she was all there was, as if everything else ceased to exist...

Everyone shook their heads and let out a helpless sigh...

What is this?

This is like Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai—one willing to hit, one willing to take it—perfect match!

It’s clear that these two deeply understand each other and know each other’s thoughts and actions well. It truly looks like a perfect match of talent and beauty!

As the night deepened, Gu Changsheng’s research finally came to an end. This time, Guo Luo’s sister, Guo Xianer, brought around a dozen Itinerant World people. The more, the merrier, and to Gu Changsheng’s satisfaction, 17 of them matched Beauty Sai’s blood type!

This result made Gu Changsheng quite pleased!

With the numbers annotated on the blood samples, Gu Changsheng separated those whose blood type matched Beauty Sai’s into a list, gave them all some prepared saline, and instructed them to drink it.

Though called saline, it’s just saltwater, only she had refined the salt a bit.

The saline could dilute the blood concentration, so that when blood is drawn tomorrow, they wouldn’t feel too uncomfortable.

Once everything was set, Father and Son of the Guo Family had already ordered a late-night snack to be prepared. Gu Changsheng touched her belly; lo and behold, she had been so busy that she was really hungry. The summer night breeze wasn’t too cold, rather it felt quite pleasant, so everyone chose not to move.

Those burly Itinerant World’s men carried a few tables with one hand and set up the late-night snack in the courtyard. Along with Elder Guo, they took out over a dozen jars of fine wine from the wine cellar and began to feast heartily.

”Great wine! Xunyang Huadiao from the Guo Family. Elder Guo, your skill in making Huadiao wine truly has become more potent. The Immortal of Wine’s reputation is well-deserved!”

”Indeed! Great wine! Come, Elder Guo, I toast you!”

”Come! Cheers!”

”Cheers!”

”...”

Gu Changsheng, with a bun in her mouth, eyed the people around her longingly, some drinking, some eating meat—she was envious!

Truly envious!

Why? Because the man next to her, even before she sat at the table, had already instructed that she was not allowed to touch alcohol!

No alcohol!

Not allowed!

What a cruel order...

Gu Changsheng pursed her lips, using her peripheral vision to glance at the man who turned eating into an art form, and then, stealthily, reached out with her mischievous hand...

Closer!

Closer!

Though Zhou Mu wouldn’t let her drink, out of courtesy, Father and Son of the Guo Family still placed a wine cup in front of her, filled with delightful wine, its rich aroma mesmerizing...

Closer!

Ha!

Got it!

Gu Changsheng’s heart leaped with joy!

Yet before she could celebrate, her side glimpse caught the sight of her graceful partner, as poised as a creature within a Golden Horse and Jade Hall, casting a seemingly weightless... weightless glance her way...

Gu Changsheng’s hand stiffened on the wine cup, her bright face turning somewhat sheepish, with a flattering smile...

Fine!

Caught red-handed!

But with such fine wine before her, she had to make some struggle, right?

Gu Changsheng’s flattering smile deepened, looking at Zhou Mu ingratiatingly, one hand still clinging to the wine cup stubbornly, while the other slowly raised, indicating a tiny spot on her fingertip, ”I’ll just take the tiniest sip, really! Just a sip, a sip! No more than that...”

At least let her have a taste of the wine atmosphere!

This is the fine wine Elder Guo specially brought out to entertain everyone; missing this chance would be such a pity!

”Did you forget what happens to you after drinking?” Zhou Mu’s soft voice broke the silence, like it was steeped in aged wine, deep and mellow, overwhelmingly enticing...

Gu Changsheng stared dazedly at the man before her!

What a handsome man!

Even nestled among these men who were indulging themselves with drinking games, he remained as picturesque as ever, making her feel slightly tipsy from the mere presence!

Thinking again about the man’s words, Gu Changsheng’s face instantly flushed with a touch of embarrassment...

”What’s going on with them? Why do they seem so odd?” An itinerant world person glanced towards Zhou Mu and Gu Changsheng and asked his companion, Guo Luo, puzzled.

”Ahem!” Guo Luo’s expression turned instantly peculiar upon hearing this. He knew well why Zhou Mu forbade Gu Changsheng from alcohol. Thinking of Gu Changsheng’s antics after drunkenness, Guo Luo reacted with unusual agility...

Lifting the full wine cup in his hand to touch it with the itinerant world person’s cup, he loudly exclaimed, ”Come on! Cheers!”

”Uh... okay! Cheers!” The itinerant world person, though bewildered, couldn’t resist the temptation of good wine. He immediately followed, bringing the cup close to his lips and taking a deep gulp...

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng let out a long sigh of relief...

Damn!

A good man doesn’t talk about past bravado!

She genuinely feared Guo Luo would spill the beans on her foolish past deeds, wouldn’t he?

Luckily, luckily!

She can still enjoy her supper peacefully, preserving her dignity!

Seeing her own evildoer still casually watching her tightly grip the wine cup, Gu Changsheng reluctantly let it go with a sheepish smile, bidding farewell to the beautiful wine!

”Alright, stop staring. I have surgery tomorrow, I know myself well, I won’t drink!” Doctors shouldn’t drink; though it may relieve stress, indulging is not advised, Gu Changsheng knew this full well!

Besides, she has quite the confidence in her medical skills, not needing the aid of a drink to ease pressure. Her love for fine wine is simply for the pleasure of a light sip and nothing more!

Of course, Beauty Sai’s situation is rather special, forcing her to be extra cautious, that’s true!

Seeing his woman finally abandon the thought of drinking, Zhou Mu’s expression softened, a gentle smile rose upon his face like a divine residence, instantly making the moon fade...

After all, it was just a light-hearted supper, not much formality with all itinerant world people present, naturally discarding all those eating and sleeping etiquette rules, chatting and laughing while eating and drinking.

Zhou Mu and Gu Changsheng also got infected by the atmosphere; besides, Gu Changsheng wasn’t one for rules, engaging in casual conversation with Zhou Mu.

”Why do you refuse to become the disciple of the Medical Immortal senior?”

Finally, Zhou Mu’s words caught everyone’s attention, causing them to put aside their food and drink, eyes fixed curiously on Gu Changsheng, awaiting her response, and asking along.

”Yes, Southern Emperor, why would you refuse to be the disciple of the Medical Immortal senior? Becoming his disciple is a rare opportunity everyone in the world dreams of!”

”Indeed, Medicine King Valley, a mysterious sacred land admired by many, you spurn it like an old shoe, truly a waste!”

”Who wouldn’t say so? Not only the treasures of Medicine King Valley, but also its network, are an unreachable existence for everyone across the world, yet you just push it away...”

”...”

Everyone one after another spoke, painting Medicine King Valley as rare and unique, a truly tempting place!

However, Gu Changsheng let them speak, biting into a crispy golden chicken leg, munching away while rolling her eyes and replied, ”Even if you praise Medicine King Valley to the skies, I won’t become that old man’s disciple!”

”Why is that? Why indeed?” Someone immediately questioned.

”Because of the old man himself!” Gu Changsheng tore off a piece of meat, chewing slowly as she spoke sheepishly, ”Don’t you all think that old man is quite like me? Both unruly in speech and deeds, living life indulgently?”

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

”You know, there is indeed some resemblance, to be honest, knowing you Southern Emperor are this approachable was a surprise!” someone said.

”But how is that related to not apprenticing? Normally, two similar people should get along well, to put it bluntly, isn’t it a case of birds of a feather flocking together?”

”Puff!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng ungracefully burst out laughing.

Zhou Mu quickly took out his carry-on brocade handkerchief, helplessly wiping her mouth’s chicken scraps...

The crowd was already immune to it!

Wife slave!

He’s just a fallen wife slave! No explanation needed!

”What you’ve said makes sense, Southern Emperor, both you and the Medical Immortal senior are skilled in medicine, similar in temperament, becoming his disciple can be mutually beneficial, discussing medical skills further advancing them, there’s no downside, we really don’t get why you’re unwilling?”

”Right, Southern Emperor, not to criticize you, but for such a free opportunity, a godsend, you should accept it happily! Rejection gives no benefit, absolutely not allowed! Absolutely not!”

”His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mu, persuade Southern Emperor quickly, such a hand-delivered opportunity shouldn’t be refused!”
