Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1310: Chapter 971: The Breath Seeking Pearl Reacts!

The Breath Seeking Pearl, smooth and flawless, crystal clear.

When Shuang Jiang and Wang Buer took out the brocade box containing the Breath Seeking Pearl, a trace of solemnity involuntarily appeared on their faces.

To be honest, the Breath Seeking Pearl can be described as a rare treasure of heaven and earth, and according to legend, it is extremely spiritual, capable of absorbing a person’s breath, and after three days, it will point in the direction where the person is located...

”That troublesome kid, he’s really pissed me off. I don’t believe he can just hide in my old man’s arms all day and not come out!” After washing up, Gu Changsheng stood at the door, still sulking as he looked at the well-behaved little meat bun following her father in the courtyard, ”Just wait! I’m going to give him a good lesson and make him remember!”

”There’s a response! There’s a response! Master, the Breath Seeking Pearl has reacted!”

Just as Gu Changsheng was fuming alone, Shuang Jiang’s excited voice came from inside the room.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes immediately changed. In the next instant, the whole person flashed and rushed to Shuang Jiang and Wang Buer’s side, looking at the brocade box on the table, ”Where? Where is it?”

Oh my god, it’s still the same pearl, wrapped in a corner of a cloth. To be honest, Gu Changsheng really couldn’t see any change in it!

”Master, here! Look here, a small red dot has appeared on the Breath Seeking Pearl!” Shuang Jiang pointed to a point on the Breath Seeking Pearl that shone like ripples of water and said excitedly, ”It’s rumoured that the Breath Seeking Pearl absorbs the surrounding breath, condenses into a red halo circulating around the bead. After three days, this red halo will focus on the source of the breath, indicating the direction of the breath’s origin! Now it seems, this rumor is not unfounded, the red halo really has appeared on the Breath Seeking Pearl!”

As Shuang Jiang spoke, her charming face revealed a trace of excitement.

In fact, there are some things she knows as a member of the Liaodong Royal Family and as the head of the Liaodong Dark Guard, far more than Wang Buer!

Before she came north here, the Dowager Empress Xiao had already sent her a message, explaining her master’s suspicions and the risks of this trip!

Therefore, Shuang Jiang was well aware of the fact that someone was secretly stirring up trouble in the world, intending to harm her master!

Gu Changsheng looked in the direction of Shuang Jiang’s finger and, sure enough, as Shuang Jiang said, a faint red halo circulated on the Breath Seeking Pearl, its brilliance varied, and if you didn’t look carefully, you really couldn’t notice it!

”The Breath Seeking Pearl, it really works!” Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes sparkled with light, and her eyes gradually narrowed into slits.

If the Breath Seeking Pearl works, she can then use it to track Sect Leader Tian’s breath to find his whereabouts. Gu Changsheng believes that the Sect Leader Tian, who successfully completed the mission and escaped, will surely seek Fufeng Tianlan to claim credit!

Then, she can find Fufeng Tianlan!

That former foe who has always been hidden in the shadows and always opposed her, Gu Changsheng can’t wait to meet him. With all the past grievances on this journey accumulated together, Gu Changsheng feels that she and Fufeng Tianlan have an unending feud!

”Fufeng Tianlan, just wait, give me three more days, in three days, I will definitely find your whereabouts and fight you openly!” With fingers tightly clenched, even Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but gnash her teeth at the thought of Fufeng Tianlan, that woman full of sinister actions in the dark.

After being schemed against for so long, finally, there’s a sliver of possibility to meet face to face honorably!

This is extremely good news for Gu Changsheng, who has always disliked underhanded dealings!

”What’s wrong?”

At this moment, Zhou Mu and Gu Taitian, holding the little meat bun, walked in from outside the door. Looking at the dark expression on his little woman’s face, Zhou Mu couldn’t help but ask worriedly.

And the little meat bun, seeing his mother like this, hid even more in his handsome grandpa’s embrace.

”The Breath Seeking Pearl has reacted!” Gu Changsheng turned her head and looked at her evildoer husband, her face still not looking good, and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu’s face, like that of a Divine Residence, momentarily froze. Then he turned and looked at the Breath Seeking Pearl, and after seeing clearly, a trace of joy appeared on his face as well.

But at this time, Gu Changsheng turned to Gu Taitian, her face serious as she spoke, ”Dad, last night’s auction, besides obtaining a Geomancy Map Fragment of the Divine Demise Land, we also got a Breath Seeking Pearl that can track a person’s breath, and the fabric of the clothes worn by the person who presented the Geomancy Map Fragment is now wrapping the Breath Seeking Pearl...”

Upon hearing this, Gu Taitian’s face, which still held traces of his former elegance despite the years, also showed a trace of seriousness.

Gu Taitian is fairly familiar with his daughter. Though his daughter seems unruly and her words and actions are unrestrained, when it comes to serious matters, she is someone who knows what she’s doing!

His daughter, with a playful attitude toward the world, yet with a pride that does not fail the world, thus, even though Gu Taitian usually offers advice to his daughter, when it comes to major decisions concerning right and wrong, Gu Taitian has utmost faith in his daughter!

In matters of significant judgment and decision-making, his father has truly taught his daughter exceptionally well!

”Daughter, what are your intentions? Speak freely, for I will absolutely support you,” Gu Taitian said with a gentle smile, looking at his daughter, whose face carried a serious expression, and comfortingly spoke.

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but curve her lips slightly, turned to glance at her evildoer, saw him nod, and only then bit her lip and said, ”Dad, we need to stay in Licheng City for three days. After three days, once the Breath Seeking Pearl locks onto that person’s aura, we will set off to follow the trail and meet that noble lady from the depths of the Sand Sea in the Divine Demise Land!”

At this point, Gu Changsheng paused and then continued, ”But before that, Dad, I must ensure you all are sent to an absolutely safe place; otherwise, I will be uneasy...”

”Daughter...” Gu Taitian frowned immediately upon hearing this.

”Mama!” The little bundle on Gu Taitian’s shoulder also understood the meaning in his mother’s words and immediately called out unwillingly.

Gu Changsheng looked at her father and son with an undoubtable expression, slowly shook her head, and said in a determined voice, ”Dad, I know what you want to say, but, Fufeng Tianlan, with whom Zhou Mu has interacted, even so, he could not gauge her depths...”

”You all are the ones I care about the most; I do not wish for you to follow us into danger!”

Zhou Mu is one thing, Gu Changsheng understood in her heart that no matter what she had to do, he would not leave her side.

But her own father and little bundle are different!

Her father had been stranded in the Southern Border for over twenty years; his body is long worn out like an empty shell. Even if this isn’t apparent on the outside, nobody understands better than Gu Changsheng as a doctor that her father can’t handle grand scenes anymore!

Nursing health back is not something that can be achieved overnight or in one go, and Gu Changsheng will not let her father, whom she has painstakingly found in this life and the last, follow her into danger!

And as for her little bundle, there’s even less to be said!

This is the person cherished upon the tip of Gu Changsheng’s heart; he is still so young. How could Gu Changsheng allow him to face unknown dangers by her side?

Gu Changsheng is accustomed to preparing for the worst and making the fullest arrangements, and then welcome the best result!

It was like that before! It is the same now!

”Dad, I am firm on this matter, so I ask you not to stop me. Having you and the little bundle around will instead cause distractions for me and Zhou Mu!” Gu Changsheng looked guiltily at her father, waved her long sleeves, and said in a stern voice to Shuang Jiang and Wang Buer standing behind her, ”Shuang Jiang, I command you to immediately take my Imperial Seal, head to Linyuan City, and inform Borjigin Nian to dispatch three hundred Dark Night Elite Soldiers to Licheng City to welcome my father and Gu Ze!”

With that, Gu Changsheng pulled out an Ink Jade Token from her bosom.

Looking at the Ink Jade Token before her, Shuang Jiang’s expression turned serious. She immediately knelt on one knee, received it with both hands, and solemnly replied, ”Subordinate obeys the order!”

”Linyuan City is not more than three hundred miles from town. Shuang Jiang, I want you to gallop without ceasing. By noon tomorrow, I want to see my Dark Night Army here to escort my father and child!” Gu Changsheng looked at Shuang Jiang kneeling down, her gaze profound and spoke in a deep voice.

”Yes! Subordinate will not disgrace the mission!” Upon hearing this, Shuang Jiang bowed her head in response and swiftly turned to leave.

Shuang Jiang, though naturally possessing a seductive charm, was able to become the Master of the Liaodong Dark Guard not by her identity as a legitimate lineage of the Liaodong Royal Family nor her alluring allure, but through her sheer genuine skill!

Even if Gu Changsheng’s ability to discern people wasn’t as strong as Zhou Mu’s, a woman whom Gu Changsheng couldn’t see through surely wouldn’t have skills lacking!

Therefore, Gu Changsheng could only entrust the message-delivering task to Linyuan City to Shuang Jiang, who had self-preservation skills and whose loyalty needed no questioning!

Dowager Empress Xiao’s own niece, she dared to entrust the entire Southern Country into the Dowager Empress’s hands, how then could she doubt the capable ones she sent?

Watching Shuang Jiang’s slender and alluring figure disappearing swiftly over the high walls of the inn’s courtyard, Gu Changsheng remained expressionless and continued, ”Wang Buer, I want you to immediately gather your reliable Hidden Guards. When the Dark Night Army arrives tomorrow, join them to escort my father and child safely to Linyuan City!”

Borjigin Nian, with her heart set on Northern Mongolia and being the focus of public attention in Linyuan City, could absolutely not leave Linyuan City. And Gu Changsheng, for the sake of Borjigin Nian’s safety, could not possibly dispatch all of the Dark Night Army back. Therefore, as one who always preferred full preparation, Gu Changsheng had to utilize Wang Buer’s influence in Licheng City to protect her dearest ones to a relatively safe place!

”Subordinate obeys the order!” Wang Buer replied in a serious tone, despite his typically carefree demeanor, and then swiftly retreated...
