Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1423: Chapter 1074: In TV Dramas, You Wouldn’t Survive Two Episodes!

”Not only is she fierce, she’s downright savage! In the Ten Great Clans of the Hidden World, this Immortal Lady has managed to offend two, and that’s not even counting the family by marriage! Tsk, tsk! Savage indeed! Only the Immortal Lady could start a fight without a second thought!”

”The Medicine King Valley! Passed down through a single heir for generations, even within the noble families of the Hidden World, it’s highly esteemed. How can the heir of the Medicine King Valley be underestimated? However, I don’t have high hopes for this Immortal Lady; having no Inner Strength at all, it’s one thing to gain a quick advantage over ordinary folks, but to really face experts is a different story!”

”Makes sense! Now, this is going to be a good show! The young talents of the noble families probably never expected the Medicine King Valley to suddenly produce such a feisty young lady! Truly eye-opening!”

”Let’s just enjoy the spectacle! This is a rare sight to behold, a contest between masters!”

”Indeed, indeed...”

”...”

The chaos caused by Gu Changsheng intensified the turmoil among the spectators below, many cheering for her, their faces lit up in anticipation of a good show, yet secretly, they disapproved of the whole thing!

This was, after all, the Nirvana Martial Contest of the noble families!

The young talents from the noble families all emerge; do you really think they’re just decorative pillows? The heritage accumulated over thousands of years surpasses everyone. To dare to openly challenge the young talents of the noble families, one must admire Gu Changsheng’s courage, yet also worry about her fate!

As they say, ”A tall tree catches the wind,” and that’s exactly the principle here!

But, why should Gu Changsheng care about the contradictory mentality of the spectators below? She’s at her peak now!

How long has it been?

How long indeed?

Since the battle at Southern Chen, which has now become Chen County in her domain, her life has rarely seen such open and honorable combat!

There has only been the vast Imperial Court and endless schemes trailing behind her!

These are not what she loves; but neither are they things she can choose!

But now it’s different. Now, this stage seems tailor-made for her, a place to vent the pent-up frustration in her heart over time!

Twisting her neck and stretching her joints, Gu Changsheng curled her lips while looking at the row of elaborately dressed young men before her. Her arrogant demeanor unchanged, she smiled and said, ”Indeed, fighting is the best way to ease one’s emotions! I’ve already said, starting from Yu Qingqiu onwards, those behind him with lesser rankings shouldn’t come forward asking for a beating. You won’t be my match!”

Confidence is like this!

This is Gu Changsheng!

”You!”

”You!”

”...”

The young talents of the noble families were immediately angered by Gu Changsheng’s scornful words, glaring at her, yet, as she said, those below Yu Qingqiu’s skill level really weren’t a match for her!

One move!

Just one move!

She instantly defeated two people!

This Immortal Lady certainly has a reason to be arrogant!

Yet, even if so, so what?

Everyone couldn’t help but look towards the seats in the front row, where several young men and women were sitting calmly, not even glancing this way!

They are the true contenders for the top spot in this Nirvana Martial Contest!

”Dantai Lan, with her being so arrogant, she’s practically here to cause trouble. Don’t you care?” a young man, unable to hold his temper, shouted at Dantai Lan, who was sitting in the front row sipping tea elegantly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng frowned slightly and immediately looked towards the uppermost seats.

Hmm, not bad-looking, one might even say quite charismatic. His aura is well concealed, definitely a master!

In her heart, Gu Changsheng nodded. Indeed, there are a few worthy of battle in the noble families, like those young men and women sitting calmly—each of them with well-controlled auras, showing excellent temperament!

And generally, those with excellent temperament find it easy to accomplish things, like practicing martial arts!

Suddenly named, Dantai Lan’s expression didn’t change at all. He calmly put down the tea cup in his hand, glanced in the direction where Gu Changsheng stood, and said, ”Among the Hidden World Clan, it is true that there is no actual strength ranking for the Immortal Lady. Now, with the Nirvana Martial Contest approaching, it is good for everyone to spar a little beforehand! As for me...”

At this, Dantai Lan nodded with a smile towards Gu Changsheng and said, ”As long as the Immortal Lady doesn’t compete with me for this viewing platform, I would be quite happy!”

The platform where Dantai Lan stood was the foremost among those participating in the martial contest!

This indicates that in the previous strength rankings of the Hidden World Clan, he was first!

”Dantai Lan, I’ve never seen you so calm before, are you perhaps afraid of this Immortal Lady?” Another young member of the Hidden World Clan immediately spoke in dissatisfaction.

”Heh...” Dantai Lan chuckled lightly at these words and didn’t even bother to reply.

”To deal with her, there’s no need for Brother Lan to act! She’s not worthy!”

Just then, a gentle female voice came from the steps of the stage.

Gu Changsheng turned at the sound, and then a flash of speechlessness passed through her phoenix eyes. Shaking her head, she smiled at the slowly approaching woman and said, ”So it’s you, the concubine-born daughter of the Yu Family, right? What’s your name again?”

”You!” Yu Lianyi’s previously gentle expression stiffened at these words, and she couldn’t help but glance toward the foremost position of the platform, a hint of hurt flashing in her eyes.

Don’t hit people in the face!

Gu Changsheng, you are unkind!

Knowing that this somewhat scheming Yu Lianyi seemed to be above others but actually cared most about her status as a concubine-born daughter, Gu Changsheng’s revelation hit the mark perfectly!

Gu Changsheng sneered; she couldn’t stand such pretentious hypocrisy!

To care is to care. A hero does not question his birth; it’s not shameful to rise through wit. What’s shameful is losing oneself and forgetting who one is beneath the facade of being lofty!

And Yu Lianyi was precisely the kind of person Gu Changsheng despised!

Cunning concubine-born daughters and the like were the most annoying!

”Immortal, you rely on your status as inheritor of the Medicine King Valley, behaving wildly, challenging other sons of the Nine Great Clans, and publicly humiliating my legitimate brother. How can I, Yu Lianyi...” Yu Lianyi collected her emotions and with what she thought was a flawless expression, declared righteously.

”I publicly humiliated your legitimate brother, shouldn’t you be happy about that?” But before Yu Lianyi could finish her justice-laden declaration, Gu Changsheng blinked her phoenix eyes and innocently interrupted, ”There’s a saying, ’Even if you haven’t eaten pork, you’ve seen pigs walk.’ These private dealings in the backyards of grand families, who here isn’t aware of them? Why pretend to speak with such composure and grace?”

”You!” Having her hidden thoughts exposed by Gu Changsheng in public, Yu Lianyi’s face turned alternately pale and red. She pressed her lips tightly, doing her utmost to suppress her anger, hidden beneath Yin Xiu, her hand clenched tightly, ”Immortal! You project your petty mind onto noble ones! You’ve gone too far!”

”No! I’ve never bullied anyone!” Gu Changsheng solemnly shook her head upon hearing this, ”In other words, being able to be bullied by me should be an honor for you. You should feel both the pain and joy of it! Yu Lianyi, knowing how hard it was for you to reach your current status, I don’t wish to make things difficult for you. If you’re wise, step back! Don’t block my path to seize the platform!”

”Wanting to seize the platform? You must have the skill to do so! Immortal, my strength ranking is even higher than my legitimate brother. Do you dare to fight me?” Yu Lianyi’s temper was riled by Gu Changsheng, concubine-born, concubine-born! Every few sentences, it was about her status as a concubine-born! Constantly reminding her, and everyone else, of her lowly birth. How could Yu Lianyi bear such indignity? She immediately stepped in front of Gu Changsheng, the gentleness on her face vanished, replaced by a dark determination. Lowering her voice, teeth grinding, she said, ”Immortal, I will make sure you lose disgracefully! Only then will my heart’s anger be relieved!”

”You won’t take the toast, only the penalty drink!” Gu Changsheng frowned slightly at these words. She disliked someone, often for no reason, and especially in cases like this, where the reasons were ample?

She detested this scheming concubine-born daughter!

”Step aside! I don’t want to fight a woman!” With a trace of cold warning on the half-masked face, Gu Changsheng spoke in a deep voice.

”Immortal, are you afraid?” Yu Lianyi raised her eyebrows confidently.

”Are you forcing me? You think if you defeat me, he’ll take more notice of you?” Gu Changsheng’s face grew darker, glancing at the foremost position on the platform...

Admittedly, Gu Changsheng was good at reading people, even though she often didn’t need to!

However, she clearly saw the admiration in Yu Lianyi’s eyes for Dantai Lan!

Did she want to defeat Gu Changsheng, using her as a Wall-Climbing Ladder to secure her status, and win her beloved’s favor?

Yu Lianyi, what a clever plan!

”You!” Exposed once again, Yu Lianyi’s face stiffened, but she quickly switched to a determined look, ”Enough talk! Immortal, let’s see who wins or loses through our actions!”

”Overestimating yourself! Women like you in TV dramas wouldn’t last beyond two episodes!” Having said all there is to say, Gu Changsheng considered herself kind-hearted, advising Yu Lianyi to step back and not to disgrace herself, but since she wouldn’t appreciate it, what could she do?

Though being a concubine-born is tough, she still didn’t want to be a stepping stone for Yu Lianyi!

Gu Changsheng was never one to let others climb over her to gain status!

The two women, Yu Lianyi in pale yellow attire, had her stance ready, holding a longsword, shining in the cold light. In contrast, Gu Changsheng was still standing there, seeming utterly casual...
