Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1389: Chapter 1043: The Hidden World Clan Is Courting Death!

When Gu Changsheng finished speaking this sentence, even Zhou Mu, who was standing at the door, couldn’t help but turn his head to look at her.

Honestly speaking, the evaluation Gu Changsheng just gave Shi Wujue was nothing short of high! When Zhou Mu heard it, he felt a slight sense of loss in his heart, but in the blink of an eye, upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s objective speculation, a smile couldn’t help but appear at the corner of Zhou Mu’s mouth.

Indeed, this woman seems indifferent to everything, yet she is well aware of everything inside!

She is just lazy!

Lazy to bother with everything!

But this doesn’t mean she is foolish; in fact, she is very perceptive and astute!

”Haha... Beauty truly has great skill; you can even deduce that the rumors outside are tacitly approved by me, the City Lord!”

At this moment, a wild laugh rang out from outside the door.

Upon hearing this voice, Borjigin Nian instinctively revealed a look of surprise, ”Shi Wujue?”

Honestly speaking, she had been staying at the City Lord’s Mansion for a long time, including when she came with a recommendation letter from her senior brother, seeking an audience with Shi Wujue, yet had never met him, only to be accommodated in an outer building of the City Lord’s Mansion.

The Secluded Valley battle was actually Borjigin Nian’s first time seeing Shi Wujue!

And this time, it’s the second!

With white hair flying, and his black brocade robes like clouds, billowing behind him, he walked to the door, stood next to Zhou Mu, but did not enter the guest room either.

Lifting his hand, he touched Little Baldy’s little head; seeing the little bun resist, he nonchalantly retracted his hand, his actions dignified yet carrying a hint of sinister aura.

”Shi Wujue, did you really give your tacit approval?” Gu Changsheng frowned and asked in a deep voice.

Honestly speaking, she really couldn’t figure out Shi Wujue’s purpose for doing this!

The three of them tacitly maintained this subtle balance!

Yet Shi Wujue’s approval of the rumors suggests he wants to break this balance...

But Gu Changsheng still felt Shi Wujue wouldn’t do such a thing!

”Yes! Just as the beauty said, Linyuan City is the domain of me, the City Lord, how could anything slip past me? Didn’t I say, in this Nirvana Martial Contest, there’s quite a few excellent whetstones; I’m also afraid the beauty is lonely, so I approved of their nonsensical talk. However, if the beauty truly minds, it doesn’t matter, because even a powerful dragon cannot suppress the local tycoon. Even Hidden World Clan must abide by my rules in Linyuan City. I’ll have someone eliminate those who started the rumor right now!” Shi Wujue said, raising his hand to make a throat-cutting gesture.

His tone was utterly relaxed and casual, his face still bearing a sly smile, yet what he uttered was deadly words intending to take lives!

Discordant?

Harmonious?

In any case, anything discordant appearing with Shi Wujue somehow becomes harmonious, as if he is meant to be like this! Only like this is true to his form!

Everyone present didn’t doubt the authenticity of Shi Wujue’s words!

He said he would kill, and he really would!

”No need!” However, Gu Changsheng raised her hand to interrupt Shi Wujue’s actions, not letting him order anyone, but instead raised her eyebrow, looked at Shi Wujue, and said, ”You mean the ones spreading these rumors are people from Hidden World Clan?”

”Uh-huh!” Shi Wujue made a shrugging motion, spreading his hands, ”Besides them, who else would monitor your group from Licheng City and conveniently know about your ambush outside Linyuan City?”

Shi Wujue’s implication in his words couldn’t be more apparent!

But upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng frowned, pulled a smirk, threw a disdainful smile at Shi Wujue, and with burning eyes, asked, ”One family, or several?”

Upon hearing this, Shi Wujue showed a contemplation expression, cocked his neck, and with a face full of mischief, said, ”For such excitement, I daresay quite a few enjoy joining in!”

”Haha... That old rascal Dugu Jieao! Truly a cunning old fox! Yu Qingqiu and Good Official Wei, those two young ones facing us didn’t guess our identities, but Dugu Jieao, that old fox, couldn’t fail to! Yet now the rumors specifically target the ’Immortal’ named me, clearly revealing that old fox Dugu Jieao concealed my identity, secretly scheming against Yu Mansion and the Wei Family!” Thinking about Dugu Jieao, a hint of hatred flashed in Gu Changsheng’s eyes as she gritted her teeth.

”Haha... Beauty truly is wise; the rumors indeed initially spread from Yu Mansion’s hotel!” Shi Wujue immediately laughed upon hearing this.

Yu Mansion, Yu Qingqiu!

Gu Changsheng clenched her fist.

A truly forgetful guy, next time we meet, I’ll surely make sure he suffers!

”Hey! What on earth are you all talking about? Why am I utterly confused?” Borjigin Nian asked, scratching his head in puzzled curiosity, looking at the group.

”You’re confused because you’re foolish!” Gu Changsheng glanced at Borjigin Nian and said, with amusement.

”Gu Changsheng, we can’t be friends anymore!” Borjigin Nian immediately bristled.

Gu Changsheng, however, acted indifferently, patting her conditionally as if coaxing a kitten, ”Don’t worry! I’ll take you to fight later, but let’s first recharge and not lose tempers!”

”Fight? I like that!” Borjigin Nian’s eyes immediately lit up upon hearing about fighting.

Gu Changsheng shook her head helplessly, then turned to look at Shi Wujue and said, ”Let the rumor be; false can’t be true, true can’t be false. Let them jump around a few more days; when the Nirvana Martial Contest starts, I’ll claim everything with interest!”

Shi Wujue heard this, his gaze darkened for a moment, but still raised a big sly smile and directly agreed.

The false cannot become true, the true cannot become false!

What a clever double entendre!

What an implicit revelation!

Because there’s no guilt in her heart, she can act as if nothing happened, right?

Because she insists that rumors are just rumors, because she’s not afraid of gossip, she lets things go, right?

Suddenly, there’s a bit of pain in the heart!

Is it because I’m too sensitive, or because that woman is too clever?

”Let’s go, I just found a bottle of fine vintage wine, let’s have a couple of drinks together!”

At this moment, a large hand patted Shi Wujue on the shoulder.

Shi Wujue turned around upon hearing this and found that Gu Changsheng had already left the guest room with Little Meatbun and Borjigin Nian, while Zhou Mu was standing beside him!

Shi Wujue couldn’t help but frown, and his stunning face darkened, as he said in a deep voice while looking at Zhou Mu, ”Where did you find the vintage wine?”

”Of course, from the old wine cellar behind your bed chamber!” Zhou Mu’s god-like face bore a faint smile, as he replied with a slight curve of his lips.

”Damn Zhou! You snuck my wine again! And you dare to act like a nice guy in front of me! I’m going to fight you!” Upon hearing this, Shi Wujue became anxious at once, stretched out both arms, and lunged at Zhou Mu.

”Haha... And you’re the City Lord of Linyuan City, look at how petty you are, it’s just a bottle of wine, I’m generous, I’ll share half with you!”

Dodging Shi Wujue’s lunge, Zhou Mu’s purple robe fluttered as he spoke with boldness.

”If you don’t come, that entire bottle of good wine is mine! Clearly, you took half of my wine and you’re still acting benevolent! Do you have no shame?”

”My beloved once said, ’If one has no shame, they are invincible under the sky!’

”Zhou, let’s fight!”

”Haha...”

”...”

While these two extraordinary men laughed and drank, Gu Changsheng was standing in front of her own father, with a low head, looking humble and respectful, standing there!

”Sigh...”

Gu Taitian glanced at Gu Changsheng and sighed.

”Sigh...”

He took a few steps and sighed again.

”...”

The cycle repeated itself, making the steadfast Gu Changsheng a bit unsteady!

Oh my goodness, what’s up with her dad?

She had already stuffed cotton balls in her ears before entering the room and mentally prepared herself for a verbal bombardment. So how come her dad hadn’t said a word since she came in, just sighed and circled around her, this isn’t right!

It’s making her heart anxious, isn’t it?

It’s making her uneasy, right?

Where’s the promised thunderous anger, and the promised scolding?

How come none of the expected reactions came?

Gu Changsheng felt like a cat scratching at her heart, painfully uncomfortable, yet she didn’t dare to act recklessly in front of her dad. Now, the father and daughter’s situation quickly turned rather bizarre!

”What’s Old Handsome Grandpa doing with mom? Playing ’Silence is Gold’?” Little Meatbun, with a shiny bald head, asked another Little Baldy behind him.

Little Han Mo with the Black Face shook his head, ”I don’t know!”

”Really, why won’t Old Handsome Grandpa let mom come out? I’m waiting for mom to play with me! Uncle Wood, can you save mom?” Little Meatbun stomped a foot, then turned to Zhou Mu standing on the other side for help.

Zhou Mu heard him, and his god-like face displayed a faint smile, slowly shaking his head, he gently patted Little Meatbun, and said in a warm voice, ”Be good, just wait, your mom will be out to play with you soon!”

”Okay...” Little Meatbun obediently said, albeit with a bit of grievance.

However, Zhou Mu soon realized he thought too much!

Because Gu Taitian really hadn’t planned to let Gu Changsheng out anytime soon, not only did he not let her out, but he also continued to sigh for a long while, making those waiting outside the door eager with anticipation!

Finally, just when everyone was about to storm in out of impatience, Gu Taitian, as if having made a major decision, stopped circling Gu Changsheng, sighed, and called, ”Daughter...”

As soon as Gu Changsheng heard her dad call her, her eyes gleamed, and she quickly ran to her dad, hugging his arm. However, Gu Taitian glanced at her, closed his eyes, mustered all his courage, and said something that made Gu Changsheng drop her jaw...
