Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Capítulo 1506: Chapter 1144: Lige of the Bai Family, Heavenly Kingdom?

The second day of the Nirvana Martial Contest, there was no match for Gu Changsheng.

On this day, while Gu Changsheng was meditating and comprehending, he also continued his training!

The rest of the time was spent in the conference hall, sorting out the information from Northern Mongolia with Borjigin Nian and Liu Fengyun.

For Gu Changsheng, the Nirvana Martial Contest is not everything; it is merely an amusement before making a response to Northern Mongolia. The only thing that concerns Gu Changsheng is the reward for the First!

However, for the noble families, the Nirvana Martial Contest is everything; it is the key to opening their path into the world.

If the position of the First is seized by Gu Changsheng, it would be a huge blow to the noble families!

Losing face and ground might be endurable, but witnessing another Primordial Transformative Realm sovereign in the secular world is the last thing they wish to see!

Late at night, the moon was bright and stars sparse.

Linyuan City, the inn of the Bai Family.

A woman sitting in a wheelchair looked coldly at the woman standing before her, and angrily scolded in a low voice, “Lige, what are you saying? You want to quit the contest? Dare you! Quitting the contest means handing over the position of First and the Spiritual Treasure to Gu Changsheng. I forbid it! I forbid Gu Changsheng to conquer the Transformative Realm! I forbid it!”

This hysterically screaming woman was none other than Mu Wanxuan!

Her hoarse voice seemed to have been ground by a millstone, making it painfully unpleasant to the ear, especially now when her heart was agitated, making her voice even more grating.

Yet the woman she was yelling at, Lige, remained undisturbed, as if accustomed to it, she slowly shook her head, “Elder Sister, Gu Changsheng has had a Sudden Enlightenment before conquering the Transformative Realm. Such talent is unprecedented and brilliant. With her talent, it’s only a matter of time before she reaches the Primordial Transformative Realm; no one can stop her steps…”

“Even so, I forbid it! I forbid her from becoming powerful now!” Mu Wanxuan said, immediately showing a fierce expression on her face, her skeletal hands tried to grip the wheelchair’s armrests, yet appeared so powerless.

“Elder Sister, can’t you hear me out? With Shi Wujue scheming against her and Fufeng Tianlan intent on her demise, Gu Changsheng is already trapped in a predicament, unable to save herself. Why do you insist on getting involved in this mess?” Lige spoke as she crouched in front of the wheelchair, holding onto its armrest with a pleading expression, saying, “Elder Sister, come with me, leave Linyuan City, leave the Bai Family, leave this continent, and return to my kingdom! We just need to wait till they are mutually exhausted, wait for the storm here to pass, and then return to reap the rewards! By then, if you wish to seek revenge, I will grant it! Even if you wish to have Zhou Mu, I will grant it! Whatever you want, I will grant it! But I’ve received orders not to stay here any longer! I must return to wait for the thousand-year endeavor of the Heavenly Kingdom, elder sister, come with me! Do not be entangled by these loves and hates; I can give you a high position and the power to preside over the world, just follow me and wait for a while!”

“No!”

However, before Lige could finish, Mu Wanxuan in the wheelchair screamed hysterically, “I’m tired of waiting! How long? Without legs, without arms, without a tongue, I can’t even speak properly. Lige, can you understand your elder sister’s pain? I hate it! A hatred deep to the bone, tormenting me every moment, day and night! I want to watch Gu Changsheng doomed to eternal suffering, I want to see her life worse than death! No one can stop me! Not even you!”

“Lige, if you still consider me your elder sister, help me, stay here, don’t leave, stay with me, and watch Gu Changsheng fall into the abyss, doomed to eternal suffering, is that okay? Staying here will allow you to observe Gu Changsheng’s every move, isn’t this most beneficial for your Heavenly Kingdom? Once you return, you will cut off all news from here, why do you want to return?”

Holding Lige’s hand, Mu Wanxuan did her utmost to persuade and coax.

“Elder Sister, you don’t understand, staying means facing nine deaths for every life, words that I dare not speak, and if spoken, mean only death. But, elder sister, trust me, withdraw timely and leave with me…” Upon hearing these words, Lige shook her head and advised bitterly.

“No! Even if it means death, I want to see Gu Changsheng die before me! Lige, if you are greedy for life and fear death, you may leave, but I will never go! I want to keep watching, watching that bitch Gu Changsheng step into a place of eternal suffering!” Upon hearing those words, Mu Wanxuan shook her head. She had heard Lige say similar things countless times since they recognized each other, but driven by hatred, she couldn’t hear them. In her heart, there was only deep-seated hatred for Gu Changsheng; this hatred had become an obsession, an unrelenting obsession!

“Elder Sister…” Hearing this, Lige showed a look of pain in her eyes, “You are forcing me; forcing me to defy my master’s orders, forcing me to abandon my Heavenly Kingdom…”

Upon hearing this, Mu Wanxuan shook her head, “Staying here still allows you to remain loyal to your master, Lige, don’t abandon your elder sister, stay with her, only you can help your elder sister now! You should know, since your childhood disappearance, the entire family abandoned you, but only elder sister kept looking for you, never forsaking you! Lige, for the sake of elder sister’s unwavering support, don’t abandon her, is that okay?”

“Elder Sister…” Upon hearing this, Lige’s eyes immediately showed a hint of struggle.

Just as the two were secretly conversing, an elderly man with a head full of white hair appeared at the doorway, his old face full of hesitance. Finally, he chose to knock cautiously on the door…

This person was none other than the head elder of the Hidden World Clan’s failing Bai Family, Bai Wuao!

The Bai Family has always adhered to the Doctrine of the Mean within the Hidden World Clan. However, what the world does not know is that the Bai Family has always had an unknown secret…

The sound of knocking echoed, and Lige stood up, opening the door.

At the moment he saw Lige, Bai Wuao immediately knelt down, sat cross-legged, and bowed, “Bai Wuao pays his respects to you, my lord!”

“Hmm!” Lige responded faintly, her whole presence emitting an overwhelming authority, entirely different from her demeanor as a dependent young girl in front of Mu Wanxuan.

This scene was indescribably strange; if the world saw the esteemed elder of the Hidden World Clan’s Bai Family kneeling humbly before a young girl, they would certainly not believe it, thinking it was a hallucination!

The pride of the Hidden World Clan is known by all, but even so, even the proud Bai Family elder, in front of Lige, can only offer respectful homage!

“Is there something you need to say?” Lige’s aloofness towards outsiders was unmistakable.

“My lord, I request you to fight for the Bai Family, to block Gu Changsheng from seizing the First position and obtaining the Spiritual Treasure that conquers the Transformative Realm!” Bai Wuao lowered his head, speaking respectfully upon hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Lige’s small face immediately showed a hint of conflict. Looking at the kneeling Bai Wuao, she turned her gaze inside and glanced at Mu Wanxuan who was sitting in a wheelchair. Hesitating for a moment, she spoke in a solemn tone, “You should know, the master has already sent word for us to completely withdraw from this continent…”

“But my lord, Gu Changsheng is the ruler of the mundane world. Her growing powerful through the Transformative Realm is not a good thing for our Heavenly Kingdom! Since we have the chance to obstruct her, we should naturally do so, to stifle her strength on her path to becoming a stronger force!” Bai Wuao raised his head immediately, speaking solemnly, “This is also for the good of our Heavenly Kingdom’s grand aspirations! I implore you to reconsider!”

With this, Bai Wuao bowed deeply to the ground, showing a look of sincere pleading.

Upon hearing this, Lige’s face immediately showed a hint of hesitation. She turned her head to gaze into the vast night outside, nearly whispering, “Block Gu Changsheng? You think it’s that easy, but I can’t do that… Gu Changsheng must journey north, the outcome Shi Wujue seeks is also a concern for the master. Before everything surfaces, Gu Changsheng must not die!”

“However, without taking her life, you can block her from growing stronger. Lige, you can do it! With your strength, you can surely prevent that wretch Gu Changsheng from seizing the First position!” The sound of the wheelchair moving came, and Mu Wanxuan appeared behind Lige, her face full of entreaty and certainty.

“Elder Sister…” In front of Bai Wuao, Lige could maintain her detachment, her lofty presence, but in front of Mu Wanxuan, she was just a younger sister, her face showing a struggle…

“Lige, consider it a plea from your elder sister!” Mu Wanxuan said slowly, bowing her head…

“Elder Sister… I agree with you!”

After a long while, Lige sighed, hesitantly voicing her decision.

Mu Wanxuan was overjoyed upon hearing this, while Bai Wuao also raised his head with delight, giving Mu Wanxuan a thankful look.

“Bai Wuao, you are too enamored with the power of this continent, which is not good!” Just then, Lige suddenly turned her head, looking at the kneeling Bai Wuao with a stern expression, “Encouraging Wu Xi to enter the world, taking Gu Changsheng as a disciple, dragging the entire Hidden World Clan into this vortex. With Wu Xi’s mind, surely he has found something suspicious, leading him to remain hidden and investigate quietly. Bai Wuao, before Shi Wujue and others notice, after the Nirvana Martial Contest ends, you should take the Bai Family and leave!”

“Yes! But my lord, what about you?” Bai Wuao responded promptly, but then immediately lifted his head, looking at Lige with a face full of doubt.

Lige, upon hearing this, turned her gaze to Mu Wanxuan, her eyes full of resignation…

“My elder sister has searched for me for twenty years; I can’t ignore her. Wherever she is, I, Lige, will be there…”
