Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1403: Chapter 1056: Unexpected Encounter, Embarrassment!

Gu Changsheng was stunned upon hearing this, and her mouth formed an ”O” shape!

Oh my God!

What did she hear?

Her father, usually cautious and timid, was afraid?

”Evi...evildoer...are you sure you didn’t say something wrong?” With her tongue slightly tied, Gu Changsheng asked in disbelief.

Could it be that her evildoer was forced by her to lose his mind?

To dare speak ill of her father behind his back!

If this reaches her wise and mighty father’s ears, what would happen?

”Cough cough! This King...is certain!” Zhou Mu feigned a cough, covering his lips with his hand, his deep eyes wandering slightly as he spoke, ”The future is uncertain, fortunes unpredictable, Father-in-law’s heart is uneasy, being a bit timid, showing some fear is unavoidable; moreover, the battle in Secluded Valley genuinely frightened Father-in-law!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s brows immediately furrowed.

In this way, the explanation does make sense!

She never doubted her father’s love for her!

That’s why he was determined to marry her off to Zhou Mu quickly, without regard for her own wishes, leading to Gu Changsheng’s suspicions!

Was it because she truly scared her father?

”Evildoer, my survival was all thanks to Shi Wujue, if...” Gu Changsheng pondered for a moment before speaking, ”There are things, even if I don’t say them, you should understand, Shi Wujue is proud and mysterious, but his lifesaving grace for us is real... The last thing I want is... To get married in Linyuan City, right under his nose...”

Even Gu Changsheng herself had to admit, Shi Wujue’s kindness towards them was also mingled with emotions!

She wasn’t foolish, in fact, more often than not, she saw things more clearly than others!

She could clearly feel Shi Wujue’s affection towards her, as well as his grievances and fulfillment; as clever as the evildoer, Gu Changsheng didn’t believe he couldn’t feel it!

Her father’s pressure for her to get married was met with real resistance!

However, she felt it was necessary to explain things clearly with the man in front of her!

Her unwillingness to be forced into marriage at this moment genuinely had to do with Shi Wujue, and she didn’t want to deny this!

She didn’t want the kindness to turn into a shackle, nor...(want to)...hurt Shi Wujue’s feelings!

Though she hadn’t known that man for a long time, Gu Changsheng had always been someone clear about love and hate; though her gratitude to Shi Wujue didn’t reach the level of love, the human sentiment she owed was certainly complete!

”You don’t need to say it, I understand, I also...” Zhou Mu’s face, like a Divine Residence, flashed a trace of loneliness, his mouth slightly curved into a forced smile, ”I understand your character; since we owe this gratitude, one day we will repay it...”

Saying this, Zhou Mu stretched out his hand, covering Gu Changsheng’s hand, their fingers intertwined, warmth swirling at their fingertips.

The two exchanged a glance, a mutual understanding of helplessness reflected in their eyes.

”Changsheng, your survival and well-being is this King’s greatest wish; everything else, this King can overlook! Everything Shi Wujue has done for us, this King sees and will not forget, nor let you be troubled!”

”Evildoer!” Gu Changsheng was moved as she heard this, Phoenix Eyes suddenly felt a wave of warmth.

In her evildoer’s words, she heard complete trust and...no demands!

She fell into Zhou Mu’s arms, feeling the warmth of his embrace and the familiar faint scent of ambergris, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt unprecedented peace!

Having someone like this, regardless of what you do, always staying by your side, believing in you entirely whether you’re right or wrong, accompanying you!

This feeling is truly wonderful!

The mountain breeze gently stirred the treetops, carrying a setting sun, descending slowly.

Their cuddling silhouettes at the mountain top were as beautiful as a painting.

A red and purple figure tightly embraced, as if besides them there was nothing else in the world!

”Boom!”

Suddenly, a thunderous sound came from mid-mountain, causing a whirl of shock!

”What happened? What’s going on? An earthquake?”

Gu Changsheng was startled, jumping up from Zhou Mu’s embrace, looking incredulously towards mid-mountain.

Godfather, the tremor beneath their feet was so strong, as if something was collapsing under her feet!

”Let’s go!”

Zhou Mu’s expression changed slightly, and in an instant, he wrapped the woman beside him in his arms, tiptoed and swiftly sped down the mountain!

The trees beside them turned into shadows, swiftly flashing past Gu Changsheng’s eyes!

Zhou Mu’s speed was so fast, it made Gu Changsheng somewhat dizzy!

Transformative Realm!

Is this the strength of a Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm?

The evildoer who broke free from self-imposed constraints, breaking through the Transformative Realm with such a qualitative leap in skills, left Gu Changsheng both surprised and envious!

Lying safely in Zhou Mu’s arms, Gu Changsheng glanced around with interest, but when her gaze landed on a particular figure, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she hastily tugged at Zhou Mu’s clothes, urgently exclaiming, ”Stop the evildoer!”

It was him!

It was him!

Gu Changsheng trusted her own eyesight; she would not be mistaken!

The figure that just flickered by was him!

The fluttering white hair, the tall black figure, the extreme contrast of black and white — Gu Changsheng was certain, she was not mistaken!

”It’s him! Shi Wujue! I just saw Shi Wujue! He’s in the mountains!”

However, even though Gu Changsheng had already shouted to stop, under Zhou Mu’s rapid speed, they had already traveled far.

With a slight furrow of his formidable brows, Zhou Mu halted atop a towering tree, seeing Gu Changsheng’s face filled with shock, he tapped his foot and retraced his steps back.

Halfway up the mountain, under an ancient pine tree, Shi Wujue leaned against the trunk, his face pale, his slightly fatigued eyes half-closed.

”Shi Wujue?”

Gu Changsheng, seeing the drooping white hair covering half his face, struggled out of Zhou Mu’s embrace, cautiously called out, her voice tinged with a hint of tension.

Why did she feel that the Shi Wujue before her seemed so fragile?

Just like the day they met again in the Ten Miles Peach Grove, when he was exhausted of life force, as if touching him would cause him to shatter like a bubble...

”You? Why are you here?”

Upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s voice, Shi Wujue’s drooping eyelids immediately opened. Seeing Gu Changsheng, a glimpse of joy flashed in his long eyes, but this joy quickly turned into disappointment when he saw Zhou Mu trailing behind her...

Indeed, the two of them remained inseparable...

They seemed so well-matched together...

”Shi Wujue, what’s wrong with you? What’s going on with all the commotion on the mountain?” Gu Changsheng stopped two steps away, reaching out, wanting to check on Shi Wujue, her gaze couldn’t help but scan the surroundings.

Could it be that Shi Wujue just had a great battle with someone here?

Otherwise, how could there be such an earthquake-like effect? Making her mistakenly think it was an earthquake?

”This City Lord is fine!” Avoiding Gu Changsheng’s outstretched hand, Shi Wujue supported himself with one hand on the tree trunk and stood up, his posture as upright and aloof as ever, ”It seems this City Lord chose the wrong time, and inadvertently disturbed your time together, that in itself is a grave sin, yet why is this City Lord so pleased? Haha...”

”Shi Wujue!”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s brows immediately knitted, she glanced at the evildoer behind her, internally wanting to curse!

Dammit!

This Shi Wujue really doesn’t know how to talk!

What does he mean by disturbing her time with Zhou Mu, and he’s happy about it?

This is precisely the intention of Sima Zhao, creating enmity! How are she and her evildoer supposed to respond to this?

”Don’t act impulsively! Your complexion is terrible, it’s better to let Changsheng check on you!” Zhou Mu stood beside Gu Changsheng, his brows slightly knitted, his words filled only with concern, his gaze fixed on Shi Wujue’s pale face, as if he hadn’t heard a word of what was said earlier.

”That’s right! Ignoring your illness is inappropriate!” Gu Changsheng responded immediately upon hearing Zhou Mu, reaching out her hand once again.

”This City Lord already said this City Lord is fine!” This time, Shi Wujue’s movement to avoid was even more pronounced, waving his black sleeve to directly fend off Gu Changsheng’s approaching hand.

”You...” Gu Changsheng regarded her brushed away hand with a look of disbelief on her face.

”This City Lord...” Shi Wujue’s face also froze, the hand hidden behind him unconsciously clenched, his thin lips parted as if to apologize, but then stopped halfway, after a while, he finally spoke, ”It’s true, this City Lord is unharmed, but just earlier expended quite a lot, that’s why!”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately exchanged a glance with Zhou Mu, both of them couldn’t help but look around.

There’s no one!

No enemies, what did Shi Wujue expend here?

Could he be fighting with the air?

Although Gu Changsheng wasn’t very sure, based on her guess, Shi Wujue should have entered the Transformation Realm before her evildoer!

As a Master of the Transformative Realm, once in action, making the earth move and mountains shake is a known fact to Gu Changsheng, but there are few people and matters that could make him act!

Even during the war in the Secluded Valley, she never witnessed Shi Wujue truly in action, so why on this unnamed hill outside of Linyuan City, would something worthy of his intervention exist?

”Don’t overthink, everything in Linyuan City is under this City Lord’s control, there’s no formidable enemy, you can stay in the city with peace of mind and wait for what’s to come!” Shi Wujue seemed to see through Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu’s thoughts, a sly grin appeared on the corner of his mouth as he spoke indifferently, though the pale complexion made his words rather unconvincing.

”No formidable enemy, yet you’re in such a state? Is it possible you exhausted your life force saving me and haven’t truly recovered?” Gu Changsheng said uncertainly hearing this...
