Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1244: Chapter 910: Turning the Tide with a Single Word!

Right now, all they can think about is how to stay out of this, be an unnoticed and unremarkable little nobody!

The undercover pawns bow their heads, silently praying...

Please don’t think of them!

Please don’t!

Forget that they are in the auction house!

As the saying goes, ”What you fear will come true”, this saying is quite reasonable!

Seeing Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, obviously not those to be messed with, those youths centered around Ling Yuexi, although somewhat uncertain, refused to lose face. They still wanted to put on a front!

”You guys are too arrogant! Do you know where this is? This is the Dark Market in Licheng City, not a place where any Tom, Dick or Harry can make waves! Where are the undercover pawns of the auction house? Why haven’t they come out to uphold justice?” A young man, supporting the blood-spitting and weakened Ling Yuexi, excited to be so close to the beauty, pointed at Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, shouting loudly.

Upon hearing this, everyone finally remembered where they were!

This is the Dark Market Auction House in Licheng City, full of undercover pawns! In the hundreds of years of Licheng’s Dark Market, no one has ever dared to cause trouble here, let alone in the most important auction venue of the Dark Market? This is the first time in hundreds of years that someone dared to challenge the hidden forces of the Dark Market right on their turf!

The crowd glanced around, but there was not a trace of those undercover pawns.

Naturally, even a small dispute in the auction house would quickly bring out undercover pawns to mediate. Those who accepted mediation could stay, while those who didn’t would be immediately thrown out! Especially when there’s bloodshed now!

Why is there no sign of those omnipresent undercover pawns?

Hearing the young man’s words, the undercover pawns hiding in the shadows were gritting their teeth!

Why drag them into this when they’re at their wit’s end?

They just want to be a little nobody, why is it so hard?

”Remember that guy’s face, and once he’s out of the Dark Market, beat him up in a sack!” one undercover pawn grumbled through gritted teeth, secretly thinking that their master’s method was truly effective!

Even in situations where they can’t vent openly, using such methods they disdain still works wonders with immediate results!

”Don’t worry, I’ll make sure his parents can’t even recognize him!” another undercover pawn ground his teeth, ”Should we go out now?”

”Smack!”

A small slap immediately landed on the head of that undercover pawn. The person who hit him scolded quietly, ”Go out? Go out for what? Be a decoration? Are you brave enough to uphold justice in front of the master? Or dare to throw the master out? If you have the guts, you go, I’ll support you in spirit!”

”Scared! No more jokes! Can we really talk about justice in front of the master? I’d rather hide!” The slapped undercover pawn quickly retreated and even urged the other pawns around, ”Quick! Hide properly! Whoever gets seen is done for!”

As soon as he finished speaking, with a few rustling sounds, all the undercover pawns vanished even from themselves!

The speed, what else but lightning fast!

They were determined not to show up no matter what!

Even if the auction house gets flipped upside down, they wouldn’t go out to be cannon fodder!

Absolutely not!

Meanwhile, after searching the surroundings, the people at the auction house still couldn’t find a trace of the undercover pawns, their faces a bit awkward.

In the scene, those standing by Ling Yuexi were mostly youths just entering the Itinerant World in their twenties. The Border Pass Auction, held every five years in Licheng City, attracted many experts, yet these scattered small hands couldn’t be bothered!

But with no intervention from the undercover pawns, this situation took an intriguing turn!

Those with some age and extensive Itinerant World experience had thoughtful looks in their eyes...

”Dare to shout in the Dark Market, and you’ll hang on the city wall for the night! Dare to make a move in the Dark Market, and you’ll take a stroll in the city jail! Do you not know the rules of the Dark Market? I’m telling you, if you dare to make a move and draw blood here, you won’t end up well! Licheng is a military stronghold. The meals in the jail aren’t easy, unless some soldiers from the army are there to serve you! When the undercover pawns show up, you’ll get what’s coming!”

A young fellow stood behind Ling Yuexi, shouting loudly, his face full of schadenfreude.

He could see that the man who made a move certainly had some skills, otherwise, he wouldn’t have injured Li Chuanxiu and Ling Yuexi from a distance!

But so what?

The Dark Market in Licheng isn’t about skill. No matter how great your skill is, breaking the rules here only means you’ll get beaten up passively. The undercover pawns of the Dark Market aren’t gentle!

Hearing this young man’s words, the undercover pawns hiding almost cursed!

Godfather! Why do these folks keep calling them out for no reason?

Can’t they see they’re staying away? Do they think they’re deaf and can’t hear?

Alright, they’re deaf now! Can’t hear a thing!

”Oh my, the rules of the Dark Market! You scared the baby to death!” Gu Changsheng chuckled disdainfully, ”I’ll just wait here and see how the rules of the Dark Market can deal with me!”

After saying that, Gu Changsheng grabbed her evildoer and walked towards the bidding chairs nearby!

Damn it, after saying all those nice things, they still try to scare her!

Scaring her is one thing, but at least bring out a decent mountain!

Using the rules of the Dark Market in front of her, isn’t that just nonsense?

Gu Changsheng really wanted to ask these young fools blinded by beauty: Are you stupid?

Can’t you feel that those Undercover Pawns have already started playing hide and seek and have no way to deal with her?

What does it mean to be calm and collected, dismissive?

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu exemplify it!

In the Dark Market Auction House, except for the high platform in the middle, chairs were neatly arranged on all sides for bidding. And now, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu sat right in the middle like they owned the place, as if they were outsiders, sitting with their backs straight, as if they weren’t the ones causing trouble...

At the vacant space at the auction house entrance, Li Chuanxiu was being supported by someone, deep in thought, while Ling Yuexi was also being helped, an expression of barely concealed hatred on her face!

”You! You’re declaring war on Lingfeng Pavilion! Aren’t you afraid of Lingfeng Pavilion’s retribution?” Blood still stained the corners of her mouth, and speaking only aggravated her internal injuries, making Ling Yuexi’s face even paler, evoking some pity, causing her Protectors of Flowers around her to feel deeply distressed...

Gu Changsheng curled her lips upon hearing this and spoke carelessly, ”Lingfeng Pavilion? What ghost? Those looking to kill me aren’t a thousand, at least eight hundred! Bring it on!”

Ridiculous!

Do they really think she was scared into being this way?

Heck, she didn’t even fear the transformed Sky Wolf Pack, why should she fear people?

If she doesn’t stir up trouble, it’s already a blessing, but if someone wants to provoke her, she can’t just sit back, right?

On horseback, her mouth must never be defeated without a fight!

Otherwise, where would she put her face as the Southern Emperor?

”Are you declaring war on the Underworld Boss of the Dark Market, challenging the people of the Itinerant World? Aren’t you afraid of dying without a burial place?” Ling Yuexi was furious upon hearing this, choking on her words. After a while, she came back to her senses, suppressing the pain in her chest, her eyes wide with anger as she spoke.

This woman is truly outrageous!

She dares to so blatantly disregard their Lingfeng Pavilion! This is absolutely intolerable!

Gu Changsheng shook her head upon hearing this, turning around in her auction chair, placing her chin on her evildoer’s shoulder, and looked at Ling Yuexi, who was glaring at her from the entrance, speaking in a relaxed tone, ”How did you grow to be so presumptuous, young lady? Whether I declare war on the Underworld Boss of the Dark Market isn’t up to you to decide, it’s up to me! Whether I challenge the Itinerant World isn’t something your so-called Lingfeng Pavilion can decide. It seems like it’s Wind Cloud Mountain Villa that dominates the Itinerant World, right? So, where did this Lingfeng Pavilion come from, daring to mediate and order the entire Itinerant World at will?”

As soon as Gu Changsheng finished her words, the people in the auction couldn’t help but gasp.

Her words struck right at the heart of the matter!

The Underworld Boss of the Dark Market is not for Lingfeng Pavilion to command, and no entity other than Wind Cloud Mountain Villa is in a position to command the Itinerant World without question!

Even the old veterans who stood aside couldn’t help but glance at Gu Changsheng and then at the exquisite Miss Ling.

This is not a question that is easily answered, a misstep could spell disaster for Lingfeng Pavilion!

The underworld boss behind the Dark Market is well known among itinerants; it’s just not openly acknowledged!

The home base of Lingfeng Pavilion is in Liaodong!

Even though Lingfeng Pavilion is a notable sect, compared to the longstanding Wind Cloud Mountain Villa, it’s like an ant attempting to shake a tree, incomparable without a doubt!

Only Wind Cloud Mountain Villa can give orders that the Itinerant World fears to disobey!

Any other attempt to take over and wield authority is akin to challenging the high status of Wind Cloud Mountain Villa in the Itinerant World!

With a single phrase, Gu Changsheng drew Miss Ling and the entire Lingfeng Pavilion into deep waters, causing the veterans there to look at Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu with newfound respect!

This young couple is certainly not ordinary, evidenced by their calm composure and ability to turn the tide with just words!

Gu Changsheng rested her head on her evildoer’s shoulder, blinked her long lashes, and innocently looked at Ling Yuexi, whose face was growing increasingly pale, while her lips curled slightly.

Damn, is any Tom, Dick or Harry daring to scream and yell at her now?

See, this is the result of overestimating oneself...
