Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1392: Chapter 1045: Seize the Moment? (Part 2)

In fact, in their hearts, Little Monk Bu Jie was like Bai Xiaosheng, all-knowing and omniscient!

However, to Gu Changsheng’s disappointment, when she reached the guest room where Little Monk Bu Jie was staying, she found it empty, not a soul in sight!

Having searched around the room without success, Gu Changsheng, left with no other choice, decided to discuss the matter with Zhou Mu!

Yet, Gu Changsheng felt today was simply ill-fated for her. Being forced into marriage by her own father was bad enough, not being able to find Little Monk Bu Jie to solve her doubts was another disappointment, and now her own evildoer was missing as well!

This was truly, a streak of bad luck to the extreme!

Grabbing a guard patrolling the crooked building to inquire, it was the classic ”I don’t know anything” response!

Gu Changsheng was instantly exasperated.

How could two living people just vanish into thin air?

Left alone, sighing for a long time, Gu Changsheng had no choice but to return to the main culprit, her own father, hoping his conscience would strike... ahem! No, hoping his fatherly love would prevail and he’d change his mind...

However, trailing her father Gu Taitian like a little tagalong for quite some time, Gu Taitian completely ignored her!

Not until the evening banquet was about to start did Gu Taitian seem to finally notice the daughter tagging along behind him, turned back, gave Gu Changsheng a mysterious look, and tossed a sentence her way...

”Daughter, while you’re alive, seize the joy! Drink tonight, be merry tonight, do not wait for tomorrow. If not marry now, then when?”

After speaking, Gu Taitian went back to his own business, continuing to ignore Gu Changsheng!

Standing there dumbfounded, Gu Changsheng was completely dumbstruck!

Her mouth formed an ”O,” gazing blankly at her father’s back, she was stupefied!

Oh heavens, what did her father’s words mean just now?

What did he mean by seizing the joy?

What did he mean by if not marry now, then when?

These two sentences together made even someone as innocent as her let her imagination run wild!

Swallowing hard, Gu Changsheng’s eyes widened into perfect rounds, translating her father’s words from classical to modern speak, didn’t it mean if there’s a chance to XXOO and XXOO, one should seize it? Surely she didn’t misunderstand?

Why did it feel like her father was exposing the fact that she, in both this life and her previous one, had never truly gotten married and XXOO’d?

Exposing someone shouldn’t hit their weak points! Especially such weak points!

Gu Changsheng felt deeply ridiculed by her own father!

And it was a full-on, thorough ridicule!

Damn it, Gu Changsheng really wanted to stomp her feet, you know?

If her father’s reason for urging her to marry soon was this, Gu Changsheng swore she’d really want to die!

It’s simply inhumane and outrageous!

She... was left speechless!

Like a walking corpse, completely beaten down, Gu Changsheng felt rather dizzy as she floated away from her father’s place, only to be stopped by Palace Maid Ling Xi, who said the evening banquet was about to start, inviting her to attend at the Star Picking Tower!

Still stranded in the sea of forced marriage and ridicule without reaching the shore, Gu Changsheng, led by Ling Xi, floated along, clearly not in the right state of mind!

The Star Picking Tower is the largest banquet hall in the City Lord’s Mansion’s crooked building, extravagantly decorated, so luxurious it’s hard to look at directly, but at this moment, Gu Changsheng had no mind to appreciate any of it!

Meanwhile, Zhou Mu and Little Monk Bu Jie, both vanished from Gu Changsheng’s sight, finally reappeared in the City Lord’s Mansion, yet Zhou Mu, returning from who knows where, wore a worried look on his god-like face, and Little Monk Bu Jie, clutching a Little Wooden Fish, headed directly to Gu Taitian’s guest room...

At the door of Gu Taitian’s guest room, just as Gu Taitian, having received the banquet invitation, was preparing to leave following the guiding Palace Maid, Little Monk Bu Jie blocked his path, stopping him!

”You may leave, I have words to say to Benefactor Gu!”

Little Monk Bu Jie, rarely not so kindly, curtly instructed the guiding Palace Maid.

”As you command!”

The two Little Palace Maids were briefly stunned, seemingly not expecting Little Monk Bu Jie to be so stern, but they quickly responded and stepped outside the corridor, leaving Gu Taitian and Little Monk Bu Jie, the elder and the younger, facing each other...

On the other side, Shi Wujue, Master of Linyuan City, upon receiving the report from the servant that Gu Changsheng had reached the Star Picking Tower, hurriedly arrived, but to Shi Wujue’s disappointment, his rare timely presence and greeting to Gu Changsheng was met with her absent-minded, indifferent response, which immediately puzzled Shi Wujue. Not long ago, she was fine, so how come she now seemed so greatly distressed?

Taking advantage of Gu Changsheng being distracted, Shi Wujue gestured to the hidden Secret Guards, who appeared instantly, bending close to Shi Wujue’s ear for a whispered conversation...

Shi Wujue is a decisive person; he gets straight to the point when asking questions, and his subordinates’ responses were straightforward!

Soon, from his subordinate’s report, Shi Wujue gathered a rough idea, then Shi Wujue’s expression shifted from initial shock to restraint, and by the time the Secret Guards finished reporting, tumultuous waves surged in Shi Wujue’s long, narrow eyes...
