Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1305: Chapter 966: Offering Flowers to Buddha

Gu Changsheng finally calmed her thoughts and focused on using an egg on the evildoer beneath her to treat his dark circles, but before she could make any real progress, she was interrupted by a sound from the door that was menacing yet timid!

Upon hearing this voice, Gu Changsheng immediately shrieked in fear, ”Oh my mother!”

Then, in the next instant, Gu Changsheng sprang off the bed, and her action was truly unbelievably swift!

Not only was Gu Changsheng’s movement fast, but Zhou Mu’s actions didn’t fall short either. With a flip, his tall and straight figure landed on the ground, clasped hands, bowed, and greeted in one smooth motion, ”Greetings, Father-in-law!” to the person standing in the doorway of the inner chamber, seething with anger.

Having just steadied herself, Gu Changsheng patted her chest with the egg, looking terrified, and said, ”Oh my mother... scared the baby to death...”

”Wife, this is not the time to call for your mother, it’s someone from the master!” Xiao Cui beside her couldn’t help but tug at her mistress’s sleeve cautiously.

”Of course, I know it’s my dad who’s here!” Gu Changsheng retorted with a face full of indignation.

Precisely because it was her dad who came that she was frightened, right?

If her mom had come, she wouldn’t be scared but pleasantly surprised!

Her dear mother was still lying well in her coffin, wasn’t she?

With a face-changing speed like flipping a book, just as Gu Changsheng put on a flattering smile, Gu Taitian, who strode into the inner chamber, yanked her over, ”You unfilial daughter! What did I teach you last night? Did it all go in one ear and out the other?”

”Oh come on, dad, slow down, slow down!” Stumbling as she was pulled, Gu Changsheng’s eyes widened in panic as she said, ”Egg! Egg! Dad! The egg fell!”

”Egg dad? You! You!” Gu Taitian’s face immediately darkened upon hearing his daughter’s words.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng felt something was off!

Turning her head, she saw her dad’s face had grown even more somber and realized that her words came out too fast just now, merging ”egg” and ”dad” into one!

No wonder her dad was so mad he seemed almost like smoke was about to come out of his ears!

There was no choice, an explanation was necessary!

Thus, with her neck grabbed by her dad, Gu Changsheng pointed her toe at the two eggs on the ground and turned her head to fawningly say, ”Dad! I said it’s the eggs! The eggs fell on the ground! Hehe... it’s a pity, they could still be eaten if cleaned...”

”Cough cough...” Zhou Mu beside her couldn’t help but cover his lips and remind his little woman not to misspeak in front of Father-in-law, didn’t she see he’s angry?

Hearing her evildoer’s reminder, Gu Changsheng instantly came back to her senses, pointing her toe at the eggs, she urgently explained to the person holding her, ”Dad, listen to me, it’s not what you think, didn’t you instruct the evildoer to review the documents at night? Look, he’s done reviewing them, and his eyes became panda-like, so I was just helping him with the eggs! Really, it was just about rolling eggs!”

”Rolling eggs, ended up on the bed?” Gu Taitian asked, his seasoned yet radiant face full of disappointment in them.

”Cough cough...” Hearing her dad lay it out so plainly, Gu Changsheng’s face turned an array of colors, extremely vivid!

What was she supposed to say to that?

”You know... it’s more convenient that way...” Gu Changsheng said, while sending a glare at her evildoer.

Godfather!

Her lifelong reputation!

Gone just like that!

Such a far-fetched excuse, not to mention her dad wouldn’t believe it, even she didn’t believe it!

All because of her evildoer stirring trouble, why take advantage of her for nothing?

Great, now her dad caught them red-handed on the spot, right?

Look how angry her dad was... sigh...

”Do any of you have respect for propriety? Let’s not mention the fleeing marriage and leaving home, considering you acted out of concern for Ruoshui, I could overlook it, but last night I sent you to the auction, and how much trouble did you cause me?” Gu Taitian released his grip on his daughter’s back, looking infuriated, ”Go out and take a look, rumors are flying all over now, all say that last night at the Border Pass Auction a couple appeared, leading two Masters of the Transformative Realm to a duel, one even self-destructed his Spirit Body!”

Gu Changsheng heard this and immediately widened her eyes in disbelief, pretending to be innocent, ”There’s actually such a thing?”

She so desperately wanted to claim that that couple was definitely not them!

But, under her dad’s piercing gaze, Gu Changsheng dared not have the courage even if she wanted to!

”Heir of the Hidden World Clan Medicine King Valley! Gu Changsheng! My daughter! How come I don’t know when you became someone from the Hidden World Clan? Or when you became the heir of Medicine King Valley?” Gu Taitian looked at the pair standing with their heads lowered, his seasoned face full of helplessness, ”When did you two offend an outstanding Master of the Transformative Realm? You caused havoc at the Dark Market, stirring up storms wherever you go!”

”Dad! Dad, don’t get angry yet, hear me out! It’s all a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! Really!” Gu Changsheng quickly took a step forward, soothing her dad’s anger while explaining, ”That young man we met at the city gate, he’s from the Hidden World Clan, and that Master of the Transformative Realm is his backup, we couldn’t reveal all our cards and win, so we had to get the Medicine Immortal Old Man...”

”Who’s the Medicine Immortal Old Man?” Hearing this, Gu Taitian’s aged eyes slightly darkened.

At the Licheng City Gate, when his daughter took action against that arrogant young man, he was there, of course, he remembered it!

If so, then it wasn’t really his daughter’s fault!

”The one who helped us escape death in Xunyang City! Dad, you wouldn’t know, if it weren’t for the Medicine Immortal Old Man, you wouldn’t see your filial, obedient daughter anymore! I almost got buried with Xunyang City! Wooo...” Seeing her dad’s expression soften a bit, Gu Changsheng immediately played up the pitiful act, ”The Medicine Immortal Old Man is from the Hidden Medicine King Valley... your daughter wishes to take him as a master... so...”

”So you caused a ruckus at the Dark Market? And brought back all this random stuff?” Gu Taitian said, pointing towards the door.

Gu Changsheng followed his father’s finger and his eyes widened!

Damn!

When did Wang Buer get here?

What on earth is he dragging in with him?

”Greetings, Master, greetings, Son-in-law, I’m here to deliver your items!” Wang Buer, holding a pile of brocade boxes, bent his knees with a flattering expression after seeing his master and son-in-law looking over. At the end, he added, ”I promise not a single thing is missing!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng felt like crying but had no tears!

Godfather!

His father was still angry, and Wang Buer delivering all these signs of their extravagance at this time was simply unforgivable!

She didn’t care if some were missing. She hoped some were!

No!

She hoped Wang Buer had never shown up at all!

Just as Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu’s faces were filled with grief, Gu Taitian had already approached Wang Buer, picked up a brocade box, and said solemnly, ”A Beauty-preserving Pearl? Aging and death are normal parts of life, what do you need these things for? And you asked Wang Buer to bid for them personally?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu immediately hung their heads.

”Ice Clear Jade Bone Necklace?”

It wasn’t over, Gu Taitian picked up another brocade box and took a look.

”Green Jade and Flower Ancient Bracelet?”

”Sai Frost Earrings?”

”Xiyue Bracelet?”

”...”

With each item named, Gu Taitian cast a glance at the two standing before him.

Oh, the resentment in Gu Changsheng’s heart!

Is her father really going to go through them one by one?

This isn’t fair at all...

They were only occasionally being extravagant, and thought they could do it quietly, so how did they get caught by her father?

”Lantian Warm Jade Belt?” Holding a belt, Gu Taitian asked with a stern face, ”Come on, you both have your own rules for dressing, what do you need these things for? Changsheng, do you really lack these things? There are treasures piled up like mountains in the Heavenly Palace, aren’t they enough for you to wear? Was it worth breaking auction rules for this?”

”I don’t lack...” Hearing her father’s question, Gu Changsheng, who was hanging her head listening to the lecture, answered weakly.

Oh, dear, she couldn’t possibly tell her father that it wasn’t her who wanted to bid them, but her own evildoer, could she?

Though they say that in adversity you protect yourself, she was still a bit soft-hearted about her evildoer!

But how could she calm her father’s anger?

Gu Changsheng felt an urge to scratch the wall in her heart!

Yet, in the blink of an eye, Gu Changsheng’s eyes brightened, looking delighted as she lifted her head and rushed towards her father who held the evidence, ”Dad, I don’t need these things, but as you can see, these are all women’s items! I bought them for my mom!”

From experience, Gu Changsheng knew that no matter what the issue was, as long as it involved her mother, her father would immediately calm down and stop being angry!

For instance, when they ran away to the extreme north regarding the marriage avoidance, her father didn’t mind!

Her mother, ah, was her father’s weakness, stepping on that always worked!

Forgive her for offering flowers to Buddha just to calm her father’s anger!

Sure enough, hearing his daughter’s words, the anger on Gu Taitian’s face disappeared entirely, though he still protested a little, ”Nonsense! Don’t try to fool me! This Lantian Warm Jade Belt is a Womb Warming Pregnancy Aid!”

”That’s exactly what we need!” Gu Changsheng wrapped her arm around her father’s, speaking as if it was only natural, ”Dad, when mom is reborn, haven’t you thought of extending the Gu family tree?”

”Yaoyao already bears the surname Gu!” Gu Taitian glared at his daughter, no longer angry, just a bit perturbed.

”But he’s still a nephew! A nephew can’t compare to having a son of your own, can he?”
