Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1367: Chapter 1024: Shi Wujue Arrives, Three Reunite!

Zhou Mu saw the originally very pale face of Gu Changsheng full of worry, resembling the face of a Divine Residence, and couldn’t help but show a touch of concern.

Reaching out, he grasped her hand that lay outside the thin blanket, and with a determined look, Zhou Mu spoke, ”There must be a way! We will definitely find a way to cure him!”

He didn’t want Gu Changsheng to feel guilty!

And the only way to unravel this deadlock is if Shi Wujue is unharmed, giving them a chance to repay Shi Wujue in some way!

”Shang Xie cannot, but there is someone who might have a solution!” Seeing Gu Changsheng’s lost and helpless look, Zhou Mu spoke again.

”Who?” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng turned her head to glance at Zhou Mu and asked.

”Shang Xie’s master, Taoist Tian Ji, that Old Taoist, wise beyond his years, he might know a way!” Under Gu Changsheng’s hopeful gaze, Zhou Mu spoke slowly, ”Back then, it was he who foresaw the future and guided me to Dragon Breath Mountain to save Shang Xie who was still in swaddling clothes. He is a person with profound knowledge and extraordinary depth, he must know a way!”

”Really?” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but show a hint of joy in her eyes.

To be honest, just thinking about Shi Wujue now made her heart ache faintly, tormented by guilt!

But she was so weak now, even getting out of bed required great effort, let alone being able to help in any way!

Yet, she really, really wanted, so much, for Shi Wujue to get better, to ease her guilty conscience a bit!

”What real or fake? I, the City Lord, was born to hate those phony Taoists and monks the most. You’ve already brought a little monk to live in this City Lord’s mansion, and if you bring an Old Taoist too, this City Lord will really get angry with you!”

Just as Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu were both deeply worried about Shi Wujue’s condition and seeking a way to save him, a wild and arrogant voice sounded behind them.

Upon hearing this voice, Zhou Mu’s tall figure instinctively stood up from the side of the bed!

And Gu Changsheng, even more disbelievingly, sat up from the bed!

”Shi Wujue?”

Beyond the layers of fluttering palace tassels, Gu Changsheng whispered in disbelief.

”It’s precisely this City Lord, what? Is the beauty so excited to see this City Lord again, perhaps truly dazzled by this City Lord’s beauty? Haha...” Shi Wujue’s tall figure appeared beyond the palace tassels, his black brocade robe so distinct among the dimly visible palace tassels!

His long, slender fingers, neatly trimmed, exuding an exquisite aura, slowly lifted the last curtain of palace tassels before the White Jade Bed...

A breeze passed, unfurling the tassels from his fingers, letting them fall...

His long, flowing hair, dreamily snow-white, gently danced with the wind, contrasting starkly against his black brocade robe!

When Zhou Mu saw Shi Wujue’s snow-white hair, he was first stunned, then lost in thought as he took a step closer, ”You...”

It really was...

Truly black hair turned white...

Zhou Mu’s eyes, deep like the Cold Pool, flashed with an inexplicable color in that instant...

”This City Lord?” Faced with Zhou Mu’s reaction, Shi Wujue raised an eyebrow at him, his thin lips curving into a mocking smile as he arrogantly pointed at Zhou Mu, speaking in a wild tone, ”You Zhou! This City Lord knew you were an ungrateful white-eyed wolf! You live in this City Lord’s mansion, treated with good food and drink, honored as a guest, yet you still want to bring some monks and Old Taoists to torment this City Lord! How deep are our grudges and grievances?”

”I, the King...you...” Faced with Shi Wujue’s harsh accusations, Zhou Mu’s expression was somewhat stunned, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

And Gu Changsheng was no different, supporting herself on the bed with her hands, leaning forward, looking incredulously at Shi Wujue who suddenly appeared in the Heaven Deceiving Hall, as if unable to believe everything was real, blinking several times without really comprehending!

”What’s wrong, beauty? Why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost? This City Lord, with such national beauty and heavenly fragrance, can’t possibly be frightening, can it?” Over Zhou Mu, Shi Wujue raised an eyebrow at Gu Changsheng by the bedside, his face showing a wicked smile, teasingly said.

Facing such Shi Wujue, Gu Changsheng was speechless.

It’s real!

Is it real?

Yesterday in the Ten Miles Peach Grove, she clearly saw Shi Wujue’s face as pale as snow, struggling even to stand, nearly devoid of life. How could he appear before her in just one night?

His complexion rosy, with the same wicked sneer, just like when she first met him in the Secluded Valley!

Could it be that everything seen yesterday was fake?

Impossible!

Gu Changsheng shook her head. As a doctor, no one understands a person’s breath better than herself. She was absolutely certain that yesterday’s Shi Wujue was indeed in a state of imminent death, his vitality nearly depleted at any moment...

So, what exactly happened overnight? How did Shi Wujue’s condition suddenly improve?

The skeptical Gu Changsheng struggled to turn over and get down from the bed!

Seeing this, Zhou Mu hurriedly reached out to support her.

But Gu Changsheng waved away his support and, with eyes as sharp as a torch, lunged straight towards Shi Wujue!

Seeing her reaction, Shi Wujue was stunned, momentarily forgetting Zhou Mu.

When Shi Wujue glanced over, Zhou Mu responded with a helpless smile...

In the next instant, Shi Wujue felt his wrist being grabbed. The warmth transmitted from the fingertips caused a moment of rigidity in his mischievous smile, and his eyes showed a hint of evasion, but in the next instant, he returned to normal...

Gu Changsheng anxiously grabbed Shi Wujue’s wrist, two fingers anxiously feeling for his pulse, eagerly sensing the throbbing transmitted to her fingertips...

On her bright little face, eagerness gradually transformed into disbelief. Gu Changsheng looked up, anxiously at the blood-restored face of Shi Wujue, murmuring, ”How could it be? How could it be...”

The pulse was steady and strong, well-paced and perfectly normal...

This...

”Beauty? What’s that expression? Are you hoping for something unfortunate to happen to this City Lord so you can be happy?” Shi Wujue stealthily withdrew his wrist from Gu Changsheng’s grasp, speaking with a mischievous smile.

”No!” Gu Changsheng responded without hesitation.

How could it be?

How could she wish for something unfortunate to happen to Shi Wujue?

In fact, she was the one who hoped the most for Shi Wujue’s safety!

”Shi Wujue, Shi Wujue, open your mouth and let me see your tongue coating, let me examine you!” Gu Changsheng, still somewhat disbelieving, disregarding Shi Wujue’s question, anxiously spoke again, reaching out towards Shi Wujue’s face.

She needed to be certain, certain that Shi Wujue was truly all right, certain that this was not just her imagination!

This happiness came too suddenly, making Gu Changsheng feel as if she were in a cloud of fog, unable to believe it!

However, to Gu Changsheng’s disappointment, this time, Shi Wujue dodged her extended hand with a swift movement, his black robe fluttering, his tall, jade-like figure flashing to the other side, raising a hand to sweep his snow-like long hair, speaking with a wild arrogance, ”No need! Beauty, you underestimate this City Lord! Since this City Lord can save you, I can certainly save myself, why would I need you to make such a fuss?”

”But...” Gu Changsheng looked at her empty hand, still wanting to argue.

”There is no but! Beauty, this City Lord is not as useless as you think! Just a loss of vitality, how could it really claim this City Lord’s life? Even if the heavens wish to take this City Lord, they must see if they have the capability! Haha...” With that, Shi Wujue laughed wildly.

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu exchanged glances, for a moment, not knowing what to say.

The man before her was the Shi Wujue from her memories!

The one who appeared like divine weapon falling from the sky, in the Secluded Valley, and extinguished her Red Lotus Karma Fire with a wave of his hand!

If not for his glaring white hair, Gu Changsheng might even have suspected that he didn’t actually lose vitality to save her...

In this instant, Gu Changsheng felt moved to tears!

Shi Wujue was fine!

Shi Wujue really was fine!

No longer was he in the dying state she saw yesterday, but was now bursting with life standing before her!

This...

This was the happiest moment for Gu Changsheng in recent times!

The guilt and torment in her heart suddenly lessened, making her pale face bloom with a smile.

”Shi Wujue, your hair...” Zhou Mu could see from Gu Changsheng’s expression that Shi Wujue probably wasn’t in mortal danger anymore, finally stepped forward, frowned, and asked, looking at Shi Wujue’s full head of white hair, ”Can it return to its original state?”

”Return? Why return?” Shi Wujue turned to Zhou Mu upon hearing this, raised his eyebrows at him, saying, ”This City Lord thinks this white hair is quite beautiful! Walking on the street, it attracts attention, are you jealous of this City Lord’s beautiful hair, is that why you’re asking?”

”My king... haha...” Zhou Mu bowed his head and laughed helplessly upon hearing this.

Shi Wujue hummed, shrugged his shoulders, adjusted his posture, and looked at Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu again, speaking earnestly, ”Moreover, this white hair is great, having it reminds you of this City Lord’s life-saving grace, isn’t that so? Tsk... thinking about it this way, even if this City Lord could restore it, I wouldn’t!”

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but smile upon hearing this, her pale face blushing red, looking at the lively Shi Wujue before her, hesitated for a moment, but still slowly moved forward, bowed deeply to Shi Wujue, and said solemnly, ”Shi Wujue, for your life-saving grace, there is nothing I can do to repay...”
