Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1407: Chapter 1059: Shi Wujue, Don’t Fall in Love with Me!

With her phoenix eyes slightly moist, Gu Changsheng was lost in her own thoughts, unable to extricate herself!

The oppression of the past days, the hardships of this journey northward, in that instant, Gu Changsheng felt an unprecedented loneliness sweep over her, as if, in heaven and earth, she was the only one, with a distant and uncertain future, fighting alone...

Even that man who had always stayed by her side had now let go of her hand...

Leaving her alone here...

Have you ever loved someone? When in love, you thought having him meant having the world’s brightness?

Have you ever lost someone? At the moment of losing him, as if with his loss, even the air abandoned you, leaving you unable to breathe?

These words surfaced in Gu Changsheng’s heart, her eyes moistening, yet a self-mocking smile tugged at her lips. She found it surprising that she could have such emotional moments, moments so fragile she hardly recognized herself!

She was Gu Changsheng, after all!

She was the always arrogant and unmatched, the unparalleled Gu Changsheng!

It turns out that her so-called innate aloofness, her assumed indifference, were all just her wishful thinking!

In truth, she was still a woman!

And every woman shares women’s common weakness, such as the vulnerability of moments like these...

Gu Changsheng didn’t want to feel this way, didn’t want to experience this feeling, yet this wasn’t something she could control!

A shadow stopped in front of Gu Changsheng, so close that she noticed it, involuntarily lifting her small head slightly from between her knees, revealing a sliver of vision...

In that sliver, there was full hope...

Is it him?

”Evil...”

Before the word could fully leave her mouth, Gu Changsheng’s voice broke in her throat!

Disappointment immediately filled her phoenix eyes...

It wasn’t!

It wasn’t him!

She didn’t see him!

Although she only saw a piece of clothing, Gu Changsheng was certain it wasn’t the attire of her evildoer...

Her evildoer favored purple garments, a person of great moral integrity, yet this patch of clothing before her was black...

Black garments embroidered with gold and silver threads, trailing over fallen leaves, shimmering...

This wasn’t her evildoer’s clothing, but belonged to another!

Gu Changsheng couldn’t restrain her disappointment, burying her head once more between her knees, unwilling to look up!

”Beauty...”

Standing before Gu Changsheng, Shi Wujue looked down from above. His world-stunning face bore a hint of pallor, long white hair swirling behind him. At this moment, his slanted brows furrowed tightly, his eyes containing a fleeting, restrained flame of anger...

She was still here!

When he returned!

She was still alone here!

Calling out Zhou Mu’s name, left here alone, seemingly abandoned, staying with the most primitive action of seeking safety!

From a distance, seeing Gu Changsheng’s crouched figure on the ground brought Shi Wujue joy. He hadn’t expected, despite his leaving and returning, she would still be here...

He just wanted, in his moments of pain, to be in the place she lingered, to stand where her presence remained, to see the scenery she saw, as if by doing so, she was beside him, and not with another man...

But to his surprise, he returned to find her still there, not an illusion, but reality!

He should have been joyful!

Yet, seeing her so vulnerable again, the joy in Shi Wujue’s heart quickly turned to anger!

”Where is that Zhou boy? Weren’t you two just together?”

Unable to keep anger out of his voice, Shi Wujue pressed his voice low, speaking deeply.

She shook her head!

With her head buried in her knees, Gu Changsheng shook it slightly!

She didn’t know!

She didn’t want to look up!

”Gu Changsheng! Don’t let this City Lord look down on you! Without Zhou Mu, can’t you walk? Have you no legs? Get up for this City Lord!” Shi Wujue saw her in such a listless state, and his anger grew stronger. Immediately, he reached out, wanting to pull Gu Changsheng up from the ground.

”Don’t touch me!”

However, in the next moment, Gu Changsheng waved her hand, staggering, willing to fall back onto the fallen leaves, just to fiercely shake off Shi Wujue’s hand.

In those phoenix eyes, there was moisture, invoking pity, but even more was rage!

Just like the fury in Shi Wujue’s eyes, Gu Changsheng stared angrily at Shi Wujue, her expression indignant!

”Shi Wujue! Why did you come back?” Supporting herself with one hand on the ground, Gu Changsheng stood up awkwardly, growling at Shi Wujue.

If there was anyone she least wanted to see at this moment, it was Shi Wujue!

That’s right!

She didn’t want to see him!

Though he was beautiful and treated her well!

Yet, instinctively, she just wanted to escape!

”Why come back? You clearly know how much he’ll overthink, clearly know what will happen. Shi Wujue, why come back? Do you want to see how pathetic I am, left here?” Looking at the man before her, Gu Changsheng inexplicably felt that his long white hair was too glaring, piercing her eyes painfully, causing tears to fall!

”You...” Seeing the tears in Gu Changsheng’s eyes, Shi Wujue’s body stiffened, the hand she had pushed away paused in midair, wanting to proceed but hesitating, ”This City Lord... only...”

Only wanted to heal alone in the place you stayed...

”Only what? Only thought, with your exceptional talent, you should stir up a turbulent spring river?” Gu Changsheng interrupted before Shi Wujue could finish, waving her sleeve, ”Shi Wujue, I, Gu Changsheng, am a person of distinct love and hate. For those I love, I am willing to give my all; for those I hate, I treat them as strangers, indifferent and disdainful. But you alone! You alone! Are someone I love and hate!”

”Your face, charming to the world! Your abilities, astonishing to the world! Everything you’ve done for me makes me admire you! But... but you let me walk on thin ice, advancing and retreating, at a loss!”

Hearing this, Shi Wujue’s already pale complexion grew even paler. His body trembled almost imperceptibly, the hand he suspended in air slowly clenched, withdrawing without a trace, long lashes lowered to cover the loss and desolation in his eyes. His white hair fluttered chaotically, obscuring his face, ”I... never thought...”

”Never thought, then don’t say such things again in the future, don’t disturb my already turbulent life...” Gu Changsheng still didn’t give Shi Wujue the chance to finish speaking, interrupting, turning around, and walking step by step down the mountain...

”Shi Wujue, don’t fall in love with me, I am not someone worth your love!”

A cold voice echoed from Gu Changsheng’s retreating figure...

Shi Wujue stood there dumbfounded, his slender frame like a statue...

The afterglow of the sunset cast the mountain path in vague shadows, that fiery figure before him, moving further and further away, straight-backed, carrying a trace of determination...

Shi Wujue, don’t fall in love with me!

Shi Wujue, don’t fall in love with me!

Gu Changsheng’s voice echoed again and again in Shi Wujue’s mind, causing his body to waver...

Like a statue, suddenly given a fatal blow, instantly cracking, shattered...

Don’t fall in love with me!

Don’t fall in love with me!

...

”Pfft!”

Shi Wujue staggered only after Gu Changsheng’s figure disappeared from his sight, blood immediately spurted from his mouth!

Bright red blood dripped onto Shi Wujue’s black brocade robe, staining it with patches of dark hue, like Mandara Flowers blooming by the Netherworld River, enchanting and eerie, glistening endlessly, irredeemable...

A slender, powerful hand, along with Shi Wujue’s swaying body, reached out, supporting his arm, steadying him...

”Shi Wujue, your body...” Zhou Mu, clad in purple, suddenly appeared beside Shi Wujue like a phantom, his long hand holding Shi Wujue, a divine-like face filled with tension and darkness, ”How did this happen? How much longer do you intend to hide it?”

”It’s you...” Pallid, with a trace of bright red blood trailing from the corner of his mouth, Shi Wujue glanced back, inexplicably staring at the man beside him, his slanted brows slightly furrowed, ”Why return only now? Gu Changsheng, she...”

”If she knew your current situation, she wouldn’t have said those words earlier!” But before Shi Wujue could finish, Zhou Mu interrupted with a firm expression, ”Shi Wujue, she is not a heartless person, just too perceptive, and it has become a burden... Conversely, you, what is happening to you now? Is it because you kept her alive, this happened to you?”

”Heh...” Hearing this, Shi Wujue laughed immediately, lightly pressing his lips, looking at Zhou Mu, and slowly said, ”Do you want this City Lord to say yes? Or do you want this City Lord to say no?”

”...” Hearing this, Zhou Mu’s expression stiffened.

Does he really want Shi Wujue to answer yes, or no?

If yes, then that woman would surely feel immensely guilty!

If not, then why?

Shi Wujue’s strength, Zhou Mu had known since childhood. What could make someone as powerful as Shi Wujue become so frail, like an elderly man nearing the end, physically weak and incapable?

”Zhou, keep your speculations to yourself. This City Lord’s current weakness is only due to excessive energy depletion from breaking an array, just temporary, not permanent! If you came to mock this City Lord for being rejected by a beauty, you’ve seen it all, you may leave!” Shi Wujue waved his arm, shrugging off Zhou Mu’s support, turning around, a sinister smile on his pale face, speaking nonchalantly, ”I must say, a man as peerless as this City Lord being rejected by a beauty is truly unprecedented, it’s the first time I’ve experienced such a feeling, quite worth relishing! Will you stay to see this City Lord savoring the moment, or chase after her, what do you choose?”
