Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1297: Chapter 959: The Auction House Takes Action!

Wang Buer was dumbfounded by Gu Changsheng, his handsome face clearly showing disbelief!

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng gave up arguing!

No matter how deeply the image of her fierce persona was etched in people’s minds, trying to explain it now and making people believe her was truly difficult!

So, Gu Changsheng shot her evildoer a glance, turned around, and headed toward the hidden door of the auction house!

”Hey! Master!” Only then did Wang Buer snap out of his poor son-in-law’s plight, and he quickly chased after him, speaking eagerly, ”Master, this is my purse!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng didn’t stop his steps, and he didn’t even spare him a glance.

Nonsense, if it wasn’t Wang Buer’s purse, could it possibly be her own purse?

Does she look like someone who would use her own silver to indulge her evildoer’s spending habits?

Clearly not!

This definitely required the silver extorted from Wang Buer!

Let him chase the debt!

”But master, this silver is not enough!” Wang Buer said with a conflicted expression, but he spoke truthfully.

No one knew better than himself how much silver was in his purse.

The silver inside was absolutely not enough to pay for what his poor son-in-law had bid on at the auction!

”It’s your own purse with too little silver, and you’re blaming me?” Gu Changsheng responded, rolling his eyes deftly, and said matter-of-factly, ”Refund the excess, no supplements! We will stay at the inn in Licheng City for three days, waiting for the Breath Seeking Pearl to lock onto Sect Leader Tian’s presence, make sure to deliver the items we purchased to the inn.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Buer’s face turned even more sour.

It seemed that not only did he have to spend his own money to buy items at his own auction, but he also had to take care of delivery!

But, the person in front of him was his true master, he really didn’t have the guts to refuse her request!

He just wondered if it was possible to deliver a few less items, so he could lose a little less...

When Gu Changsheng looked back, she saw Wang Buer with a scheming look on his face, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. She threw Wang Buer a big wink and said with a smile, ”Wang Buer, stop being clever. Let me tell you, your master’s memory is excellent. If anything goes missing, you know the consequences?”

With that, Gu Changsheng arrogantly extended her foot toward Wang Buer.

Kicking people was really her forte, always hitting the mark, wasn’t it?

Wang Buer was first stunned by his master’s charming gaze, then immediately scared by his master’s action, his instincts making his butt ache again. He immediately shut his mouth and dared not speak!

When under a low eave, one has to bow their head!

Clearly, he was destined to be no match for his master, who never followed conventional rules!

”Let’s go! You two just keep being lovey-dovey!” Now satisfied, Gu Changsheng waved to Wang Buer and Yan Qingcheng, moving toward the stairs leading to the ground.

”Warmly see off the master, see off the son-in-law.”

Having lost such a large sum of money, miser Wang Buer felt like dying; let alone sending them off, he now just wanted to find a place to cry.

”My silver! All my savings collected by managing the Liaodong Dark Guard for five years, just gone like that! Gone! Why doesn’t the Lord keep a tighter watch on the master and let her out here in the first place, huh? Huh? Boohoo...”

Once Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu’s figures disappeared around the stairway corner, Wang Buer plopped onto the ground, clutching his purse, weeping like a ghost.

”Alright, it’s not necessarily a bad thing that the Lord is passing through Licheng City...” Yan Qingcheng looked down at him and began speaking gently.

”A good thing? A good thing my foot! Look at my purse, this isn’t mine anymore, tell me, what’s good about this? As soon as she arrived, my Dark Market was thrown into chaos, my auction was disrupted beyond repair, she’s a disaster, a disaster!” Wang Buer protested immediately, looking as if he could almost cry, just shy of banging his head against the ground.

”At least you don’t have to worry about me getting married...” Yan Qingcheng, seeing Wang Buer’s heartbroken expression over his lost silver, thought for a moment and tried to comfort him.

Wang Buer’s biggest concern had always been that he might have to follow his family’s arrangements and marry, so Yan Qingcheng assumed saying this might cheer him up.

However, unexpectedly, Wang Buer suddenly leapt up from the ground like a carp, grabbed Yan Qingcheng’s collar, and glared at him fiercely, ”You still dare to speak! You still have the nerve! I don’t have to worry about you getting married because you’re already about to get married! Tell me, when did you start seeing that seemingly harmless but cunning girl Luoh Yurou? Did you even ask the Lord to grant you a marriage? You two are such a couple, envied by everyone!”

”No, listen to me, Buer!” Yan Qingcheng, upon hearing this, became anxious and tried to explain.

”I won’t listen! You’ve already requested the marriage decree, what’s there left to say? Yan Qingcheng, I told you, whichever woman appears beside you, I’ll kill her! So it’s Luoh Yurou? I’m going to kill her now! We’ve known each other since childhood, and yet she dares to dig at my corner!” Wang Buer exclaimed and shoved Yan Qingcheng aside, rolling up his sleeves and preparing to look for trouble with Luoh Yurou.

”Buer, don’t go! You can’t go!” Yan Qingcheng, seeing this, became even more anxious and tugged on Wang Buer’s clothes.

”Let go!” Wang Buer roared.

”I won’t!”

”You’re worried about your sweet little sister, aren’t you? Let me tell you, there’s me, not her, in this world. Unless I’m dead, you’ll never get to marry her and snuggle with her in bed night after night!” Wang Buer struggled, ”Let go! I’m going to kill her!”

”Buer! Stop being ridiculous!” Yan Qingcheng was increasingly exasperated, holding Wang Buer back without budging.

”I knew it! You indeed shared a secret alliance with Luoh Yurou behind my back! Well done, Yan Qingcheng!” Seeing him protect Luoh Yurou so fiercely, Wang Buer’s eyes began to redden, growing more resolute in seeking Luoh Yurou.

”What are you two fussing about now?”

Just as they were pulling and grappling in the corridor of the dark building, a seductive, soul-stirring female voice echoed from a distance.

Shuang Jiang’s alluring figure appeared at the corner, making the dim corridor instantly seem enchanting.

”Shuang Jiang, Yan Qingcheng requested a marriage decree from the Lord to marry Luoh Yurou, I’m here to kill that girl!” Wang Buer turned towards Shuang Jiang, speaking furiously, while shaking off Yan Qingcheng who held onto his coat, ”Let go!”

”I won’t let go!”

”Enough! Stop the nonsense!” Shuang Jiang gave another cold shout, twisting her waist gracefully as she approached the two with elegant steps, brushing Wang Buer’s ear with a breath of warm air, ”Buer, it’s actually good that Yan Qingcheng isn’t letting you find Luoh Yurou because, in the end, who’s going to get a beating is uncertain...”

”What do you mean? You think I can’t fight Luoh Yurou? I’d take on ten of her!” Wang Buer retorted furiously.

”But, wherever Luoh Yurou is, how could Jiji not be there? Remember that ice-cold girl who was more like a Hidden Guard than a Hidden Guard? Besides her beloved Miss, she’s utterly ruthless to everyone else. If you fall into her hands, tsk tsk... Buer, don’t say I didn’t warn you, even I might not be able to save you, think it over carefully!”

When Wang Buer heard this, his face changed drastically, glaring incredulously, ”What do you mean? Jiji came too? Wasn’t she supposed to be in seclusion?”

”Seclusion ends eventually, especially when her Miss travels far to Licheng City, how could she not follow?” Shuang Jiang threw Wang Buer a seductive glance as she spoke.

Wang Buer’s expression became very colorful, recalling his previous encounters in the Liaodong Capital Region with that icy-faced girl, every time getting beaten terribly. As a result, he stopped struggling, sniffing with a look of resignation, ”Okay, never mind, I’ll just count how much silver I’ve lost...”

”Giggling...” Shuang Jiang covered her mouth with a flirtatious laugh, causing her to tremble with mirth, as she lightly lifted Wang Buer’s chin, ”Now you’re talking, it’s wise to avoid immediate loss. Yan Qingcheng cares for you, stopping you from rushing to get beaten! Alright, I’m leaving, you two carry on with your bonding!”

With that, Shuang Jiang swayed her alluring waist and began walking toward the stairs of the dark building.

Wang Buer snapped out of the awkwardness from Shuang Jiang’s interruption and quickly raised his hand to ask, ”Leaving? Where are you going?”

”Why, to sell myself of course! Even for free, or with compensation!” Shuang Jiang heard Wang Buer’s query and turned back to give a charming smile, bathed in allure, sensually.

”Sell yourself? Shuang Jiang, don’t make a rash decision...” Wang Buer was startled, knowing more than anyone else about Shuang Jiang’s identity. She was outwardly a famous performer in Liaodong, but in truth, second only to Old Ninth Wang among the Liaodong Dark Guard, with seductive charm, yet her kung fu among the Dark Guards was top-notch!

”The Empress Dowager sent word upon her departure for me to guard by the Lord and the Son-in-law’s side, just in case. Otherwise, Buer, do you think your shameless begging alone could persuade me north to oversee your auction?” Shuang Jiang laughed again and turned, continuing to walk up the stairs, speaking as she went...
