Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1360: Chapter 1018: I Forbid You to Love Her!

The sound of a slap echoed as Fufeng Tianlan fell to the ground.

Staggering to the side, Fufeng Tianlan turned back in disbelief, ”Imperial Brother, you?”

”You still have the audacity to call me Imperial Brother?” The deep, angry voice came from the tall figure’s mouth, closing in step by step towards where Fufeng Tianlan had fallen.

With that slap, the side of Fufeng Tianlan’s face under the veil quickly swelled and turned red, a trace of blood pooling at the corner of her mouth, staining the veil red!

The dark figure pressed forward relentlessly. Fufeng Tianlan covered her slapped face with one hand, retreating on the ground, the eyes that were exposed, full of panic and unease, shaking her head.

”Wolf Lord, calm down, Miss, she...”

The four masters and maid He Miao who followed Fufeng Tianlan immediately kneeled, bowed their heads, and respectfully pleaded!

”Shut up! When is it your turn to speak in front of this hall?” The sharp reprimand cut them off before they could voice their plea.

Seeing this, the panic in Fufeng Tianlan’s eyes intensified, urgently trying to explain, ”Imperial Brother, listen to my explanation... I...”

”Explanation? Do you still have the face to explain?” In the next moment, pale, slender fingers grasped Fufeng Tianlan’s neck, yanking her from the ground with no pity!

The eyes of the dark figure were like torches, an unstoppable rage boiling over, the pressure unmasked, leaving Fufeng Tianlan gasping for breath!

”Who gave you the audacity to commit such reckless acts?” The angry eyes locked onto Fufeng Tianlan’s, the oppressive fury so close it made her avert her gaze, unable to face it directly.

”Im... Imperial Brother... I didn’t mean to...” Fufeng Tianlan could only offer a feeble explanation.

”Didn’t mean to? Fufeng, is this the reason you offer this hall?” Hearing this, the dark figure immediately grew furious, his voice dropping a few notches, teetering on the brink of eruption, ”Do you realize you almost ruined the millennia-long plans of our Ancient Country, destroyed the Shi Family’s great undertaking spanning countless generations, and became the eternal sinner of our Ancient Country’s Bereaved Clan? Fufeng, this hall welcomed you back to the Sand Sea, granted you divine power, allowed you to enter the Goddess Temple, and this is how you repay this hall?”

”Imperial Brother! Imperial Brother! It’s not like that! I didn’t mean to ruin your plans, I just... I just hate that bitch Gu Changsheng...”

”Slap!”

A slap rang out before Fufeng Tianlan could finish her words, causing her to fall once again, slipping from the dark figure’s grip and landing on the ground in a wretched state...

”Shut up! At this stage, you still dare to argue! As the Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, Fufeng, you have deeply disappointed this hall, the nation, and the world, placing the country before the family. Our Ancient Country’s Bereaved Clan’s millennia-long plans almost perished because of you alone, and now you dare tell this hall that it was all because you hate Gu Changsheng?” The dark figure pointed at the fallen Fufeng Tianlan, shaking his head slowly, his face hidden in the night full of disappointment, ”How dare you act on personal vendetta, disregard this hall’s orders, and attempt to kill Gu Changsheng? Fufeng, you are truly courting death!”

”Imperial Brother!” Hearing this, Fufeng Tianlan looked up in disbelief, her face full of panic and unwillingness. She quickly turned, crawling to the dark figure’s feet, pulling at his hem, and urgently speaking, ”Imperial Brother, you’re actually going to kill me for Gu Changsheng? I’m your only cousin! The only person in this world who shares a bloodline with you, and you’re going to kill me? Just because I want to kill Gu Changsheng? But haven’t you forgotten, Imperial Brother? Haven’t you forgotten the bond my mother had with you, the hardships she endured secretly raising you in Linyuan City as an alias? My mother also died under Gu Changsheng’s dagger, Imperial Brother! Imperial Brother!”

”Shut up!” The dark figure immediately rebuked upon hearing this, his eyebrows furrowing tightly in the night, looking at Fufeng Tianlan by his feet, he swung his sleeves, ”How dare you mention Aunt! If Aunt knew she had a daughter as reckless as you, she would not rest in peace even in the afterlife! Fufeng, have you forgotten why the Fufeng Clan infiltrated the Central Plains? Have you forgotten the mission of infiltrating the Central Plains? Aunt and Uncle’s unwavering resolve to complete the mission, despite being noble members of the ancient country! Yet you, knowing that what our Ancient Country seeks for lifetimes is nothing more than a fated person, still managed to harbor murderous intent against her repeatedly! Fufeng, can you face your surname? Can you justify Aunt and Uncle’s sacrifices?”

”No! I can justify it! I can justify my surname and my status as a member of the Ancient Country Royal Family!” Upon hearing this, Fufeng Tianlan immediately struggled to get up from the ground, wiped the blood from her mouth, pointed at the dark figure with a fierce face, and nearly hysterically said, ”Imperial Brother, you are deceiving yourself! How long do you intend to lie to me? I know harboring killing intent towards Gu Changsheng was my mistake; I was afraid you’d be angry and lingered outside Linyuan City for more than half a month, not daring to enter, but what did I hear? Could it be, Imperial Brother, that you think just because I’m outside Linyuan City I can’t hear the city’s news? The Lord of Linyuan City took back a woman, and a few days ago, the peach blossoms in the Ten Miles Peach Grove behind the City Lord’s Mansion bloomed like fire. Do you really think I, as the last of the Fufeng Clan, wouldn’t know what this means?”

”Haha...” At this point, Fufeng Tianlan let out a mocking laugh, then continued, ”Although I couldn’t gain the upper hand against that bitch Gu Changsheng, that’s because she invoked the Red Lotus Karma Fire, breaching taboos! She was initially doomed to exhaust her vitality and die! Yet, Imperial Brother, you saved her, didn’t you? If you hadn’t opened the Heaven Deceiving Hall, if you hadn’t bestowed her with vitality, Ten Miles Peach Grove’s Life Gathering Formation wouldn’t have activated! Imperial Brother, you rescued her from my clutches, willing to exchange life for life, just to keep her alive. Is it really just because of that dubious prophecy? Can the fated person truly enter the Divine Demise Land, uncovering truths buried for millennia? Can they truly be the redemption of our He Clan? Imperial Brother, do you really have no personal motives?”

”...”

The black figure heard this, and slowly lifted his head...

Beneath the moonlit sleeves, the tall figure was wrapped in a wide black brocade robe. The night wind blew, lifting the black veiled hat upon his head. Instantly, his snow-white long hair danced with the wind, strikingly conspicuous beneath the night sky...

With the veil no longer obstructing, his slanted brows and unrivaled, arrogant countenance instantly appeared within people’s sight...

This black figure was none other than... Linyuan City’s Lord, Shi Wujue!

A moment ago, Shi Wujue absorbed all the vitality of the Ten Miles Peach Grove for his own use, and the next moment, appeared outside of Linyuan City!

The slanted brows remained, the visage stayed unchanged, the white hair... remained as well... only, he was no longer someone near devoid of vitality. Now, if one ignored that snow-white long hair, he appeared completely indistinguishable from an ordinary person...

Only the ongoing astonishment towards the world remained!

”Fufeng, are you challenging these halls?” The ice-cold voice, the imperious gaze, from above, unmatched, Shi Wujue’s surroundings, the black brocade robe, moved with the wind, fluttering.

”Challenge you? Imperial Brother, are you joking? I am merely stating a fact, you fancy Gu Changsheng, don’t you? Haha... You actually fancy her? You dare to fancy her?” Fufeng Tianlan spoke, breaking into a woeful laughter.

”...” Shi Wujue simply looked on coldly, the brilliant and extraordinary face paired with snow-white hair, a solitary and resolute aura, making people unable to confront directly.

Facing Fufeng Tianlan’s aggressive questioning, Shi Wujue chose silence, his brows slightly furrowed, speechless.

”Imperial Brother, speak! Tell me it’s not true! Say something!” Seeing Shi Wujue silent, Fufeng Tianlan immediately stepped forward, grasping his arms, shaking them, speaking urgently.

He furrowed his brows, remained silent, Shi Wujue’s long lashes lowered slightly, and for a moment, the scene fell into a strange stillness...

After a long while, Fufeng Tianlan shook his head, releasing Shi Wujue’s arms with a face of disbelief, nearly murmuring, ”No, this isn’t true... this must not be true... Imperial Brother... Shi Wujue! You dare fancy her, I won’t allow it!”

Shi Wujue heard this, his brows immediately tightened, giving Fufeng Tianlan a cold glare, sternly rebuking, ”Audacious! In front of this hall, when did it become your turn to shout! Fufeng, have you forgotten all the rules the Goddess Palace taught you? Who I fancy must first pass your approval?”

Fufeng Tianlan heard this, instantly shaking his head confidently, utterly shedding the panic from when he first met Shi Wujue, now appearing accusatory, unwavering!

”Imperial Brother, I have never forgotten the hierarchy; you are the emperor of our Ancient Country, the Wolf Lord of our Sand Sea Hualang Clan, the hope of our He Clan’s people, this, I have never forgotten! But there is one thing, I won’t allow you to fancy her! Even in death, I won’t allow it!” Fufeng Tianlan spoke, nearly hysterically waving his hand, with a face of resolution.

”Miss! Miss, don’t...” The maid He Miao watched this tense atmosphere, couldn’t help but look at Shi Wujue with fear, speaking out with concern to soothe.

”Shut up!” But before He Miao could finish, Fufeng Tianlan furiously interrupted, swinging He Miao aside, looking at Shi Wujue with uncontrollable anger, speaking sternly, ”Imperial Brother, in other matters, I can listen to you, but in this, I will not retreat! If you have the guts, kill me, kill me, and no one in this world would dare to stop you from fancying her!”

”Don’t think I dare not kill you! Fufeng, you’ve overstepped!” Shi Wujue heard this, his expression darkening further, his snow-white hair flying, looking strangely ominous...

”Haha... Overstepped? You dare say I overstepped? Then kill me, or else I will never allow you even the slightest possibility with her!” Fufeng Tianlan heard this, immediately laughed wildly...
