Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1391: Chapter 1045: Seize the Day?

”What if Shi Wujue also comes to cause trouble?”

This time, Dad, you’re scared, right?

If Shi Wujue, the Local Tycoon, betrays us, it truly means turning friend into foe!

You know, it’s really possible...

”You...” Upon hearing this, Gu Taitian’s face immediately showed a mix of surprise and doubt. He looked his daughter up and down several times, and with an expression of embarrassment on his face, which couldn’t hide his aged elegance, said, ”Daughter, are you overthinking this? How could Shi Wujue cause trouble? He is Zhou Mu’s friend!”

”In general, friends’ perspectives are very similar; this is called birds of a feather flock together!” Gu Changsheng pondered for a moment and then spoke candidly.

Otherwise, how do we explain it?

How do we explain why Shi Wujue saved me in the Secluded Valley?

How do we explain that he almost exhausted his own life force to save me, and now has a full head of white hair?

Upon hearing his daughter’s words, Gu Taitian’s face turned extraordinarily complex, looking exactly like Gu Changsheng’s expression earlier!

”Daughter, are you overthinking this?” Repeating the earlier words again, Gu Taitian’s face showed signs of increasing doubt.

As Gu Taitian’s daughter, the two can be said to have a unique bond, understanding each other’s unspoken words!

For instance, Gu Taitian’s earlier words clearly meant, ”Daughter, aren’t you being too self-centered?”

Gu Changsheng looked at her father feeling quite speechless!

Is she overthinking things?

She hopes more than anyone that she is overthinking!

She would rather simply owe a debt of gratitude than be indebted romantically, wouldn’t she?

But what about the reality?

In reality, among Zhou Mu, Shi Wujue, and herself, there is indeed a mutual, unsaid understanding!

They are all smart people, unwilling to openly discuss certain topics!

No one wants to pierce the veil, and this topic has become a minefield among the three!

Call it self-deception or procrastination, Gu Changsheng privately believed that the subtle relationship among Zhou Mu, Shi Wujue, and herself, whether grateful or affectionate, should be resolved once she returns from the Divine Demise Land. Although even she doesn’t know if she can revive her mother safely, if she really doesn’t return, then this ambiguous account would just remain unresolved...

But now is not the right time!

It’s clearly not the right time!

”Dad, right now we’re in a dangerous place, surrounded by crises. It’s really not the time to talk about this. Please just listen to me, and reconsider...” Gu Changsheng pleaded bitterly!

”No! Even if you talk until the sky falls today! I will not change my mind! Daughter, if you still recognize me as your father, then follow my wishes and marry Zhou Mu as soon as possible! This also fulfills the last wish of your mother and me!” Gu Taitian said without a doubt, his expression showed no room for negotiation.

Fine!

His words now were even more absolute!

Gu Changsheng really couldn’t continue the conversation!

With a bright but gloomy face, Gu Changsheng looked at her father’s resolute expression for a long time, and finally turned around, shoulders drooped, and left!

After leaving the guest room, she walked quite far down the corridor before suddenly slapping the railing and angrily muttering, ”Where did it go wrong? Why are we suddenly being rushed to marry now?”

There must be some reason she is unaware of!

Her father isn’t someone who acts rashly; the reasons like her near-death experience, Zhou Mu’s affection, or Shi Wujue’s promise of taking a wife sound far-fetched and inexplicable!

There must be another reason! Something forcing her father to make this decision, even at the cost of abandoning his paternal benevolence!

Deeply suspecting there’s something amiss, Gu Changsheng felt that even if she went back now to ask her father the reason, he might not disclose it, especially since he didn’t reveal anything during her earlier plea!

Thus, standing in the corridor, Gu Changsheng frowned and contemplated for a moment, quickly deciding to seek out Little Monk Bu Jie, just like Zhou Mu decided!

On this point, both Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu firmly believed that Little Monk Bu Jie would certainly provide them with answers!
