Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1374: Chapter 1031: Forcibly Breaking Through Shackles

Gu Changsheng was taken aback upon hearing this, instinctively asking, ”Zhou Mu? What happened to the evildoer?”

”What happened? You have the nerve to ask!” Shi Wujue responded angrily, ”Haven’t you seen what that boy has done? My entire Linyuan City has been thrown into chaos by him, and the city’s inhabitants are all anxious and uneasy!”

Gu Changsheng’s heart tightened upon hearing this. She immediately took a step forward, grabbing Shi Wujue’s sleeve and asked anxiously, ”What happened to the evildoer? What did he do?”

Even though the evildoer in her home was cold and aloof, making others keep their distance, he was definitely not one to cause trouble!

For someone like Shi Wujue to come before her to complain, it was clear this matter was serious!

Instinctively, Gu Changsheng thought her evildoer had gotten into trouble!

The sleeve tightened, causing Shi Wujue to instinctively look down, seeing slender, white hands tightly clutching his sleeve. Looking up, he saw Gu Changsheng’s anxious face!

This made Shi Wujue’s heart also tighten uncontrollably!

Gu Changsheng’s willingness to approach him actually brought him joy. However, if... she wasn’t doing it because she was worried about another man, he would be happier!

His long lashes slightly drooped, Shi Wujue concealed the disappointment in his eyes. His expression quickly reverted back to its original indignant state. Pointing outside the Heaven Deceiving Hall, he said solemnly, ”What did he do? You ask what he did? He actually chose to forcibly break through the shackles in my City Lord’s Mansion. He released his own Self-Restraining Seal and intended to advance in my City Lord’s Mansion aiming to conquer the Conquest Realm!”

Gu Changsheng’s heart tightened upon hearing this, exclaiming in disbelief, ”What did you say? Released the Self-Restraining Seal? Forcibly broke through the shackles? How could he? No way! I need to find him! I need to find him!”

Saying this, Gu Changsheng let go of Shi Wujue’s sleeve and anxiously ran outside the Heaven Deceiving Hall!

Seeing this, Shi Wujue’s face slightly changed. In an instant, he sidestepped to grab Gu Changsheng’s arm!

Already anxious and panicked, Gu Changsheng, being pulled by Shi Wujue, became unsteady and involuntarily fell backward!

Shi Wujue sensed a delicate fragrance at the tip of his nose, and upon looking down, saw Gu Changsheng fall into his arms, the depth in his eyes instantly increased. Yet, he still steadied Gu Changsheng’s body, took a step back, and created a distance between the two!

”You have just regained your vitality and cannot leave the Heaven Deceiving Hall! You need to wait until your vitality has stabilized before leaving. The City Lord has painstakingly saved you, and cannot afford to save you a second time!” Shi Wujue looked at Gu Changsheng, lashes drooping slightly.

”But the evildoer! How could he... be so reckless! The Qianji Poison within him hasn’t been completely cured, and presently he lacks the opportunity to conquer the Conquest Realm. Forcibly breaking through is too risky; I can’t let him take such a risk! I can’t! Shi Wujue, don’t stop me, I need to find him! I need to stop him from doing something foolish!” shaking her head, Gu Changsheng said anxiously, desperately trying to break free from Shi Wujue’s restraining hand.

Stabilizing the Conquest Realm is such a significant matter! A master of the Transformative Realm inherently defies the heavens, rare among thousands, the risks apparent!

And Zhou Mu was originally someone who understood the weight of things well. How could he, with the residual poison still within him, do such a thing?

But in the blink of an eye, Gu Changsheng understood!

It must be because of her!

Because their strength was comparatively weaker than Fufeng Tianlan, she barely survived in the battle at the Secluded Valley!

This is the reason why her evildoer would risk everything to forcibly break through!

For her!

It must be for her!

She then realized, why in the past few days, except during dinner when the evildoer would come to the Heaven Deceiving Hall to see her, she couldn’t even see a shadow of him usually. So that’s it! So that’s it!

He actually tried to break through behind her back!

”I must stop him! The residual poison hasn’t been cleared, without opportunity, forcibly breaking through the Transformative Realm is too dangerous. I cannot let him act foolishly!” looking at the indifferent Shi Wujue, Gu Changsheng shouted hysterically, her face turning pale at the sudden news.

Seeing this, Shi Wujue’s expression darkened, pondering for a moment, he looked at Gu Changsheng and spoke solemnly, ”For him, you’re willing to disregard your own life? His life is important, but is your life not important? Don’t forget, your life was saved by the City Lord, you’ve acknowledged owing the City Lord a life, so your life belongs to the City Lord, whether you live or die, you can’t make that decision yourself!”

Gu Changsheng was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

Shi Wujue realized he misspoke, hurriedly saying, ”The City Lord is telling you this because that boy surnamed Zhou is too impetuous, and now the night is falling, soon he’d come to visit you. Hopefully, you could persuade him! Don’t let my City Lord’s Mansion be thrown into chaos!”

Gu Changsheng heard this and couldn’t help but glance at the sundial placed to the side. Sure enough, it was indeed almost dinner time. These days, the evildoer rarely accompanied her, but every dinner time, as per habit, he would come to visit her!

It’s just that he pretended very well, and Gu Changsheng couldn’t detect his anomaly!

”It’s my carelessness. If I were more careful, I would definitely notice his aura wasn’t right!” A hint of guilt appeared on her face, Gu Changsheng lowered her head and finally stopped struggling.

Indeed, as Shi Wujue said, she couldn’t leave Heaven Deceiving Hall on her own yet!

Using forbidden witchcraft recklessly would certainly lead to a forbidden backlash!

Although she received the vitality from Shi Wujue enabling her survival, it was still thanks to the aid from Heaven Deceiving Hall which could deceive the celestial mechanisms!

Leaving Heaven Deceiving Hall now would be too consuming for her, and it could likely lead to another backlash from the celestial mechanisms. Regarding this matter, Gu Changsheng had also asked Ling Xi, and Ling Xi had told her, the **** was taken away from Heaven Deceiving Hall by Shi Wei to Ten Miles Peach Grove, and returned in a state of unconsciousness!

Thanks to Shi Wujue giving her vitality once again, she could remain unscathed...

This is also why the originally intolerant of loneliness Gu Changsheng willingly stayed inside Heaven Deceiving Hall without stepping out!

Life is the most important!

With life, one can live on!

”Shi Wujue, why didn’t you come earlier to tell me? If you had told me earlier, I definitely wouldn’t let him do such a foolish thing!” Looking at Shi Wujue before her, Gu Changsheng couldn’t hide her reproach.

The evildoer is her life!

If anything happened to her evildoer, she might also be driven to madness!

”This City Lord...” Shi Wujue’s expression immediately dimmed upon hearing this, a self-mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He closed his eyes and reopened them, speaking in a deep voice, ”This City Lord tried to stop him when I learned of his intentions. But you know his temperament, Beauty, stubborn like a bull. Once he decides something, it’s not something that the City Lord can persuade easily with a few words. Moreover, he also threatened this City Lord, saying if I dared to tell you about this, he would sever ties with me!”

Indeed, her heart lies solely with him...

For him, she could unhesitatingly push the fault onto this unrelated person...

Shi Wujue suddenly felt a pain in his heart, couldn’t help but recall what his Father King had said, in one’s lifetime, there will always be that one person, no matter how brilliant you are, you can’t escape the lifetime of emotional tribulation...

At that time, Shi Wujue was still young and didn’t quite understand, but he always saw his Father King staring at the portrait of Royal Mother hanging in the bed chamber for a whole day. Until Shi Wujue was six, the mountain-like Father King finally fell before the portrait of Royal Mother and never recovered...

Despite exhausting the power of Sand Sea and searching for Famous Doctors in the world, there was no cure, the Witch Doctor said it was a heart illness, an emotional tribulation...

And indeed, he was his Father King’s own son, couldn’t escape just like his Father King!

However, comparatively speaking, his Father King was much happier than himself. At the very least, Royal Mother once stayed by his side, loving each other openly...

While he, didn’t even have that qualification!

Looking at Gu Changsheng before him, seeing her anxious for another man, Shi Wujue suddenly felt a bit of sadness. He closed his eyes tightly, then still opened his mouth, ”Not telling you this matter early was this City Lord’s fault, this City Lord apologizes to you!”

Gu Changsheng was stunned upon hearing this, guilt immediately surfaced on her face.

Her concern made her chaotic!

While Ling Xi beside her, pouting and looking unyieldingly, her eyes expressing indignation for her master without hiding. But in front of the Hall Master, she definitely wouldn’t dare to speak recklessly!

Gu Changsheng intended to apologize, but Shi Wujue spoke again, ”You know Zhou Mu’s temperament, I don’t need to say. Once he decides, he won’t change! But he has entered the path of killing now, and after unlocking the Self-Restraining Seal, the entire City Lord’s Mansion is filled with murderous aura, Linyuan City is transformed as if into a battlefield, causing everyone in the City Lord panic. However, it’s not a big deal, as long as this City Lord oversees Linyuan City, nothing can overturn the sky! But he’s at a critical breakthrough moment now, during this time, he should logically be in closed-door meditation, but he’s concerned for you, forcibly interrupting each evening to visit you, which is greatly harmful to him!”

Shi Wujue looked at Gu Changsheng, pondered for a moment, then said, ”This City Lord came to tell you this not to stop him, but to persuade him not to forcibly interrupt his cultivation to visit you. Since he intends to stabilize Transformative Realm, it should be done in one go, without distraction!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s face immediately turned solemn. Considering her evildoer’s temper, even if she persuades him, he may not be willing to give up. Thus, Gu Changsheng could only helplessly nod.

Shi Wujue saw this, and also nodded, ”In that case, this City Lord has something to give to Beauty...”
