Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1390: Chapter 1044: You Should Get Married as Soon as Possible!

”Daughter, since the City Lord of Linyuan City no longer cares about that promise from that day, you and Zhou Mu should get married as soon as possible!”

When Gu Changsheng heard the first half of the sentence, she didn’t think it was a big deal, but upon hearing the second half, her phoenix eyes widened in shock!

Oh my god, what did she just hear?

Her own dad actually said she and that evildoer should get married soon?

Gu Changsheng didn’t believe it, and neither did the people outside the door!

”Thud!”

”Thud!”

With two sounds, Little Meat Bun and Little Han Mo with the Black Face directly fell to the ground, their foreheads hitting the wall!

Meanwhile, Zhou Mu, who stood outside, had a momentary daze on his deity-like face, and even after this moment passed, he couldn’t quite recover, remaining in a long-lasting state of shock...

Inside the room.

Gu Changsheng rubbed her ear, looking at her own father with a face full of doubt, her mouth twitching, ”Dad, did I mishear? Are you so scared by my injury that you actually want me to marry the evildoer soon?”

This doesn’t add up!

Her own dad is a typical protective parent!

He should be wishing for her to delay the marriage as long as possible! So why is he suddenly eager for her to get married soon?

Could it be that the evildoer did something to move her dad?

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but glance outside the door, yep! The evildoer is still that evildoer, just even more composed in demeanor after conquering the Transformative Realm, looking even more wicked...

Could it be that her dad finally sees the evildoer as a promising prospect and decided to sacrifice his daughter to quickly secure him?

This doesn’t make sense either!

She clearly doesn’t seem that bad...

There’s no need for her dad to make compromises...

”You didn’t mishear, I’m saying you should get married as soon as possible!” Gu Taitian furrowed his brow, looking at his daughter in front of him, speaking with determination.

This time, Gu Changsheng was truly thunderstruck!

She confirmed it wasn’t an illusion, but a fact!

”Dad, you’re joking, aren’t you aware of the current situation? Although Shi Wujue no longer cares about the promise back then, our situation is not as rosy as it seems, it’s full of crises. And you actually want me to get married to the evildoer at such a time?” Gu Changsheng shook her head, speaking with a face full of confusion.

It’s no wonder she feels puzzled.

Their situation now is really not great!

After the battle in the Secluded Valley, she almost died, but Fufeng Tianlan is still alive, and behind Fufeng Tianlan, there are even greater threats pressing them step by step, leaving them no room for retreat!

The current situation, how to say it? It’s as if the mastermind behind Fufeng Tianlan is playing chess with the world as their board, forcing them to head north, even if that was their initial intention. But, according to Gu Changsheng’s speculation, the path north won’t be smooth sailing, and what undisclosed intrigue awaits them among the Sand Sea Hualang Clan once they reach the Divine Demise Land in the Far North, she herself doesn’t know!

In such a precarious, uncertain future, her dad actually wants her to get married soon!

Gu Changsheng expressed that deep down, she actually wanted to accept it!

But, reality doesn’t seem to allow it...

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, standing outside, exchanged a glance from afar, both showing a trace of puzzlement in their eyes...

They both don’t understand!

According to Gu Taitian’s disposition, this doesn’t seem like a decision he would make!

”Changsheng, my daughter, listen to your father’s advice: don’t leave any regrets in this life, marry Zhou Mu soon!” Gu Taitian said with a deep sigh, looking at Gu Changsheng with earnestness.

When Gu Changsheng heard this, her heart skipped a beat, looking at her dad with surprise, ”Dad, you’re making it sound too serious. What do you mean by not leaving regrets? You’re making it sound as if if we don’t get married soon, life won’t be perfect! It’s not that serious at all! I’m doing just fine now, nothing’s wrong with me!”

Gu Changsheng thought it was because her near-death experience had overly shocked her dad, leading to this sudden idea.

Outside the door, Zhou Mu’s eyes flashed with a dark shade, then he turned and swiftly moved Little Meat Bun and Little Han Mo with the Black Face away, reassuring them as he walked, ”You two go play somewhere else for a while. I’ll come find you later to teach you martial arts!”

”Really?” Little Meat Bun’s eyes sparkled upon hearing Zhou Mu would teach him Kung Fu.

Little Han Mo with the Black Face also showed a look of delight.

”Of course it’s true, sweetheart. Go play now!” Zhou Mu smiled softly and patted Little Meat Bun and Xiao Han Mo on the head reassuringly.

”Okay, okay!” Seeing this, Little Meat Bun immediately grabbed Han Mo’s hand and eagerly replied, ”I’m taking Brother Mo to find that beautiful City Lord to see if he’s holding a wine jar and crying!”

”Alright!” Zhou Mu answered with a gentle smile.

In a flash, Little Meat Bun held Han Mo’s hand, and the two of them bounced away into the distance.

In the crooked corridor, Zhou Mu frowned solemnly, glancing at the guest room where Gu Changsheng and Gu Taitian were, then turned to head towards the guest room where Little Monk Bu Jie was staying!

Something is off!

Always meticulous, Zhou Mu felt that his father-in-law suddenly bringing up the marriage was too abnormal; there must be something he overlooked!

He needed to find Little Monk Bu Jie to get to the bottom of it!

On the other hand, Gu Changsheng was at a complete loss, trying to persuade her resolute father with an expression of deep conflict, ”Dad, this isn’t a joke! Do you think my marriage is a trivial matter? Have you overlooked my current status! Even if I’m somewhat irresponsible or unqualified, I’m still the Southern Emperor. You want me to hastily marry outside like this; how will I explain it to the old ministers of the Southern Country? How will I explain it to everyone in the world?”

”I will take responsibility for all of that!” Gu Taitian said, unwavering in his stance.

”Oh, Dad!” Gu Changsheng was on the verge of tears, ”Where are we right now? We have already left Liaodong and are now in the ungoverned Linyuan City! Just north of Linyuan City, beyond one wall, lies the civil unrest of Northern Mongolian, and further north, the looming threat of the Far North Land. Yet you want me to get married in Linyuan City? You actually want me to marry under the potential threat’s nose? This is clearly giving some people a reason to pick a quarrel!”

Isn’t that exactly it?

Gu Changsheng clearly remembered that bad guy Fufeng Tianlan had even tried to seduce her evildoer!

Moreover, although Gu Changsheng herself didn’t want to admit it, Shi Wujue definitely had some sort of interest in her. Knowing this, you still get married on his turf! He’s at least the benefactor who saved both her and the evildoer; doing this, it seems somewhat thankless!

It really stirs the resentment level, and with just one misstep, we might indeed no longer be able to stay friends!

”Changsheng, my daughter, listen to me. How could your father possibly harm you? I am your biological father, and although I didn’t raise you, your mother and I truly fear that you might have any regrets. Please, listen to me, marry as soon as you can!” Gu Taitian pleaded earnestly, seeing his daughter stubbornly refusing to marry promptly during this critical time.

Upon hearing these words, Gu Changsheng felt a surge of emotions in her heart.

As for parents, Gu Changsheng believed that the ones she owed the most, in both her past and present lives, were her father in front of her and the coffin placed in the inner chamber!

It is often said that parents always plan long term for their children!

On this point, Gu Changsheng had no doubt; her parents had already paid with their lives and happiness in both lifetimes to ensure she could live safely and happily! She genuinely couldn’t fathom what more her father and mother could do for her!

Father would never harm her!

No matter what he does, it must be for her own good!

Since her father had spoken to such an extent, what else could Gu Changsheng say?

Her long lashes drooped slightly as Gu Changsheng chose to remain silent!

She had nothing to say!

Even though the timing was wrong, the place was wrong, the people involved weren’t right, and none of the favorable circumstances of time, location, and human elements were in her favor, a simple expression of parental love could silence all her reasons!

Even if her reasons for delaying the marriage were perfectly legitimate!

In truth, deep down, Gu Changsheng believed that her father, who so dearly cared for her, would surely change his mind and relent upon seeing her plight and silence!

Silence is a speechless resistance!

Surely her father could understand this?

So, with her head slightly bowed, Gu Changsheng watched her father’s expression and reactions from the corner of her eye, ready to thank him the moment he changed his mind!

Unfortunately, to Gu Changsheng’s disappointment, she waited in silence for quite a while, but her father didn’t react at all!

Indeed!

No reaction!

He just regarded her thoughtfully, with no intention of compromising or changing his mind!

As she waited, increasingly sensing something was amiss, Gu Changsheng was really about to burst into tears. She reached out, tugging at Gu Taitian’s sleeve and, uncharacteristically, used a coquettish charm—though not very skillfully, she managed a semblance of charm—”Dad... Can we discuss this some more?”

”No discussion!” Gu Taitian shook his head.

”Could we at least consider it a bit more? After all, this is no small matter, Dad... It concerns your daughter’s lifelong happiness... Aren’t you afraid something might go wrong if I marry here? What if Fufeng Tianlan strikes again...” Gu Changsheng persisted.

Upon hearing this, Gu Taitian gave Gu Changsheng a sideways glance and solemnly said, ”There’s no need to fear, even if Fufeng Tianlan causes trouble, isn’t City Lord Shi Wujue present at Linyuan City?”

Heartened by his words, Gu Changsheng was at a loss for words, staring at her father, who evidently intended to lean on Shi Wujue’s support. Her heart ached with tears she couldn’t shed, until she finally muttered quietly later...
