Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1279: Chapter 941: Changsheng Got Robbed

The Medicine Immortal Old Man spoke in a serious tone, gesturing towards Good Official Wei.

Wei was knocked aside by the gust from the Medicine Immortal Old Man’s hand once more. Seeing his determined expression, Wei could only sensibly keep quiet.

Gu Changsheng watched this, the corner of her mouth twitching as she looked at the Medicine Immortal Old Man in front of her with uncertainty...

”Disciple...” The Medicine Immortal Old Man suddenly changed his expression as if switching faces, turning to look at Gu Changsheng with a pitiful expression.

”Stop right there! Didn’t you say you wouldn’t recognize me as your disciple until I win the Nirvana Martial Contest?” Gu Changsheng replied, immediately raising a hand, instinctively sensing that the Medicine Immortal Old Man was up to no good, like a yellow weasel greeting a chicken for New Year’s.

”What difference does it make? Are you afraid you won’t win?” The Medicine Immortal Old Man blinked and said.

”Don’t try to provoke me; that trick doesn’t work on me.” Gu Changsheng responded quickly, not being foolish.

As if the Nirvana Martial Contest were so simple!

Just look at Good Official Wei, he is an expert comparable to her. Not to mention there are several other Hidden World Clans, how could there be a lack of experts?

Moreover, the reward for winning the Nirvana Martial Contest is so substantial that the Hidden World Clans themselves are tempted, each sending their elite disciples.

”Haha... no worries, even if you don’t win, that’s fine. I can tell you’re destined for great fortune and the Conquest Realm is just a matter of time, it doesn’t have to be tied to that opportunity...” The Medicine Immortal Old Man rubbed his nose, changing the subject, ”Let’s not talk about that for now; but about Old Man Dugu’s issue...”

”He hurt my evildoer, what do you plan to do?” Gu Changsheng narrowed her eyes dangerously upon hearing, pointing at the Medicine Immortal Old Man in anger, ”I went to great lengths to invite you here to support me, not to slow me down. Don’t entertain these little thoughts, my grudge with Dugu Jieao is set; this won’t end today!”

Upon hearing, the Medicine Immortal Old Man’s face showed a bit of awkwardness. He rubbed his nose and shook his head, softly saying, ”Why hold such a grudge? Disciple, Dugu Jieao was wrong, but didn’t you and that boy secretly hide your identities too?”

”Humph!” Gu Changsheng snorted, raising her chin.

”Disciple, it’s better to resolve enmities rather than keep them. Dugu Jieao, for his part, had a reason to enter the path of killing. Since the First Generation, he has been in charge of punishing the Hidden World Clan, and supervising the world. You know, in a large place, all sorts of people exist. Even in the secular world, there are those who would threaten the world upon reaching the Conquest Realm, and he, relying on his skills, has slain many who might harm the world. Over time, he has grown excessively murderous and paranoid, and in this life, he’s even more ruthless and tyrannical toward newcomers, seeing them all as villains, which made him want to suppress you. It’s somewhat understandable, isn’t it?” The Medicine Immortal Old Man thought, then spoke softly to Gu Changsheng, ”Moreover, today he has already self-destroyed two spirit bodies to resolve this issue, paying a painful price to concede. We shouldn’t use the advantage to press him further, holding on to his faults...”

”You make it sound easy, are we supposed to suffer in vain today?” Gu Changsheng retorted, giving the Medicine Immortal Old Man a disdainful look.

”How is it in vain? Didn’t he destroy two of his spirit bodies?” The Medicine Immortal Old Man retorted, continuing, ”Besides, if you want to challenge his main body for revenge, is it really that easy? It would be a fierce battle, revealing all your cards. Are you prepared for that? Resolving today’s events is already the best possible outcome. He knew of your identities, yet willingly sacrificed two spirit bodies, suggesting a desire to settle this. My disciple, Hidden World Clans are revered by people, not just for thousands of years of operations; we can’t let personal grudges create chaos within the Hidden World Clan!”

Gu Changsheng showed a moment of struggle on her face upon hearing.

Seeing this, the Medicine Immortal Old Man continued, ”Disciple, stepping back often opens new paths; leaving room for others is ultimately beneficial. Chaos within the Hidden World’s internal affairs would greatly affect many. Though I fear not the Dugu family, I don’t wish to see the Hidden World Clans fighting internally, making a laughingstock for the secular people...”

Gu Changsheng appeared even more conflicted upon hearing.

Gu Changsheng is one to retaliate fiercely; according to her view, no matter how powerful the opponent, anyone daring to harm those around her must be retaliated against without rest, regardless of difficulty!

Yet, as the Medicine Immortal Old Man said, should she insist on killing Dugu Jieao, based on his role in the Hidden World Clan, a recognized Elder, her identity as a descendant of the Medicine King Valley would inevitably bring confrontation between Medicine King Valley and other Hidden World Clans...

”Alright, since the Medicine Immortal Old Man has spoken, we must give this bit of face. Now that Dugu Jieao has destroyed his spirit body and atoned, can we let this matter go?” Zhou Mu looked over, gently rubbing the small head of the person next to him, speaking gently.

”But your injuries...” Gu Changsheng said, noticing the hint of blood on Zhou Mu’s lip, her voice filled with concern.

”With you, my Divine Doctor Lady by my side, what’s a little internal injury?” Zhou Mu smiled, the charming face beneath his half-mask revealing a slight grin as he teasingly touched her little nose, ”Alright, stop worrying. It’s more critical to get me a medicine to heal quickly.”

”Ah! I forgot; I was just angry!” Gu Changsheng hurriedly reached for her waist pouch, scrambling to pull out several porcelain vials. She picked one, opened it, took out a medicinal pill, and swiftly stuffed it into Zhou Mu’s mouth, urging repeatedly, ”Swallow quickly, a top-notch medicine for internal injuries; for sure it will cure you!”

”Coming from your hand, of course, I have no worries.” Zhou Mu said with a smile as he swiftly swallowed the medicinal pill.

”Hehe...” Gu Changsheng relaxed upon hearing this but quickly tensed up again. He looked up incredulously at the Medicine Immortal Old Man who was gripping his secret purse tightly and said warily, ”What are you up to, old man?”

The Medicine Immortal Old Man’s aged hands clutched Gu Changsheng’s secret purse, causing the porcelain vial inside to jingle. He pleaded, ”Look, girl, everyone here has suffered some collateral damage, more or less some internal injuries. Is your medicine perhaps...?”

”No! Heck, this medicine is crafted from rare ingredients worth ten thousand gold. It’s very expensive, you know?” Gu Changsheng protested defensively.

Damn, just a glance at the people around her and she knew they had only suffered minor collateral damage, a little internal injury. Going back to circulate their inner strength for a day or two would heal them completely, so why would they need her precious hidden medicine?

”But girl, they’ve suffered because of you all, right? Plus, they know we’re from Medicine King Valley. It wouldn’t be good to ignore their injuries, would it?” The Medicine Immortal Old Man persisted, pulling the secret purse, ”The name of Medicine King Valley mustn’t fall. Girl, make a painful sacrifice and spend the money...”

”What’s Medicine King Valley’s reputation got to do with me? I’m not spending money!” Gu Changsheng still held on tightly, painfully tugging at her secret purse in his old hand, accusing with tearful eyes, ”Why don’t you go steal then! Do you know how much silver and effort I spent crafting these medicines? Why don’t you just go steal it?”

”Isn’t this old man already ’stealing’ it? Disciple, be kind, for our Medicine King Valley, sacrifice a bit!” The Medicine Immortal Old Man said, hardening his face and pulling with force.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Changsheng’s secret purse was already in his hand.

”My medicine... sob...” Seeing this, Gu Changsheng instantly burst into tears, stepping forward to embrace the Medicine Immortal Old Man’s arm, but since he was a spirit body, the embrace was not very solid...

”Disciple, as a doctor, never forget your original intent...” He coaxed sincerely.

”The original intent is all bought with money! They truly don’t need my hidden medicine!” Gu Changsheng said, feeling the monetary pain.

”Disciple, gains and losses go hand in hand...”

”I don’t want to be your disciple anymore! I regret it...” Gu Changsheng struggled.

”Disciple, this old man will go distribute the medicine...” The Medicine Immortal Old Man said.

”Why should you? This medicine is mine! Mine! Why should you go playing the good guy? If anyone’s to distribute medicine, it’s me!” Gu Changsheng protested, eyes glaring, holding onto the Medicine Immortal Old Man’s arm tightly and continuously staring at the secret purse.

Unexpectedly, once Gu Changsheng finished speaking, the Medicine Immortal Old Man promptly stuffed the secret purse into her arms, encouragingly saying, ”Then go ahead!”

Gu Changsheng stood there, suddenly stupefied!

Damn it, she was tricked by this old man, words slipped out...

”Hehe...” Seeing this, Zhou Mu couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

”Laugh? You’re still laughing? I’ve been robbed and you can still laugh!” Hearing Zhou Mu’s laughter, Gu Changsheng instantly became aggrieved, holding the secret purse in her arms, tearful and helpless.

What is this called?

Karma?

She had just looted Wang Buer’s purse earlier, and now Medicine Immortal Old Man has robbed her of her medicine!

This karma came way too fast, didn’t it?

After being unreasonably tormented by Dugu Jieao without any resolution, now she’s forced to spend money to clean up the aftermath, what kind of situation is this?
