Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1514: Chapter 1152: Old Madam Zuoqiu’s Persuasion

Everyone was stunned upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words.

Even the face of Zhou Mu, usually as composed as a Divine Residence, showed a hint of uncertainty and surprise.

”Young one, it’s admirable to live with a never-yielding spirit, but you must live to uphold it!”

Just as everyone was filled with doubt and suspicion, an old voice rang from outside the hall.

”Mother!”

The next moment, the call of Little Bun followed!

”Ancestral Granny? Son?” At the sound, Gu Changsheng immediately gathered her thoughts and looked towards the door.

Sure enough, Old Madam Zuoqiu entered slowly, holding her Little Bun and guided by two Palace Maids from the City Lord’s Mansion.

”Greetings, Senior Zuoqiu!”

Upon seeing Old Madam Zuoqiu, everyone present immediately stood up.

It wasn’t that their status was inferior to Old Madam Zuoqiu, but because her intention to protect Gu Changsheng, even against the obstruction of Dugu Jieao, earned their respect.

”Greetings, Ancestral Granny. Ancestral Granny, why have you come? This is the City Lord’s Mansion!” Gu Changsheng was naturally delighted to see Old Madam Zuoqiu bringing her son, and she immediately went up to welcome her.

”This old woman naturally knows this is the City Lord’s Mansion. If I weren’t holding your son, I might not have been able to enter at all!” Old Madam Zuoqiu replied, casting a slightly stern glance at Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng reached out and took Little Bun from Old Madam Zuoqiu’s arms, setting him on the ground.

Her Little Bun was no longer a toddler; though he wasn’t growing fast, he was quite solid and heavy to carry!

”Please have a seat, Ancestral Granny.”

Gu Changsheng held a deep respect for Old Madam Zuoqiu!

Despite her being somewhat fierce, this old lady had once protected her at all costs!

This act of guardianship was something Gu Changsheng dared not forget in her lifetime!

One must be clear in love and hate, be grateful and return favors in life, for failing to do so would be living without dignity, no different from the walking dead.

You may hate those you dislike, and be ruthless to those who harm you, but you should never mistreat those who are kind to you!

Encountering someone who treats you well is a blessing!

When met, cherish them!

”Young one, the reason I’ve come here is to persuade you to give up the martial contest!”

Once seated, Old Madam Zuoqiu got straight to the point, looking at Gu Changsheng and speaking seriously.

”Ancestral Granny?” Gu Changsheng was instantly taken aback.

Even Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue frowned, turning their gazes to Old Madam Zuoqiu.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Old Madam Zuoqiu sighed and said helplessly, ”Young one, you’ve underestimated the power of the Hidden World Clan. If you hadn’t hastily revealed your Southern Emperor identity that day, catching the Hidden World Clan off guard, you wouldn’t have been so successful in destroying the Dugu He Clan!”

”Young one, since you’ve become a disciple of that boy Wu Xi, you naturally carry the legacy of my unfortunate granddaughter. I am naturally inclined towards you, but your destruction of the Dugu He Clan disgraced the Hidden World Clan. If you intend to win the Nirvana Martial Contest and seize the First position, Wu Xi may be alone in this, but even I do not favor such an outcome!”

As Old Madam Zuoqiu finished speaking, Gu Changsheng’s expression immediately darkened.

Even though she knew Old Madam Zuoqiu was frank, it was hard not to feel disappointed when someone she respected didn’t believe in her!

Not only Gu Changsheng but everyone present supported her. Upon hearing this, Shi Wujue frowned, showing a look of displeasure on his astonishing face. With a raised brow and a disdainful glance, he sneered, ”Senior, your words are something I, the City Master, do not like to hear! Are the Hidden World Clan so superior, destined to always triumph over the proud children of the heavens from the mundane world? The Beauty is revered as the Southern Emperor, commanding respect worldwide; why can’t she win this contest?”

Shi Wujue’s words immediately received approval from everyone present.

Princess Borjigin Nian nodded repeatedly, ”Yes, yes, can’t we win?”

Old Madam Zuoqiu, hearing this, was not angry. Looking at these young people in front of her, her old face was full of affection. She slowly shook her head and said, ”You youngsters, do not be reckless! Do you think that because you are geniuses with unparalleled status, position, and martial arts, you can be considered invincible?”

Speaking thus, Old Madam Zuoqiu tapped her Dragon Head Cane, continuing in a deep voice, ”Why don’t you consider how many talents like you have emerged from this vast world? Have you figured it out? While this world is indeed brimming with talents, the real prodigies are all gathered in this hall, are they not?”

”Southern Emperor Changsheng of the Southern Country, Crown Prince Zhou Mu of Great Zhou, Master of Linyuan City Shi Wujue, Manor Master Liu Fengyun of Wind Cloud Mountain Villa, Spring Breeze uncaring about Yue Xilou, Princess Borjigin Nian of Northern Mongolian! In this vast realm, with talents gathering together, barring accidents, those who can attain divine opportunities to reach the Conquest Realm come mostly from among you, but...”

At this point, Old Madam Zuoqiu paused, her old face sweeping a sharp gaze over the people present, continuing in a deep voice, ”However, despite the fact that only a few of you geniuses have emerged from this vast realm, the Hidden World Clan, just a dozen reclusive families living in the mountains, has over twenty Transformative Realm elders, far surpassing all your nations, and four Primordial Transformative Realm masters, not losing out to any of you. So, with the strength of the Hidden World Clan, is it not enough to stand high above, worshipped by the world?”

Old Madam Zuoqiu’s words were like a thunder on the ground, immediately shocking everyone present.

”Ancestral Granny?” Gu Changsheng looked up in shock and uncertainty, speaking in confusion.

”Little one, since that lad Wu Xi didn’t tell you clearly, I’ll tell you today. The Hidden World Clan is not as simple as you imagine. Challenging their might, trampling on their dignity, is not a wise move! Even if you, as the Southern Emperor, committed such provocations, Wu Xi, being a Primordial Transformative Realm master, and with me, the old lady, and Zhuge Qian backing you, even if they wanted to do something, they’d have to think thrice! But the Nirvana Martial Contest is different! Little one, you want to seize the position of First and completely trample the Hidden World Clan underfoot, how easy do you think that is?” Old Madam Zuoqiu looked at Gu Changsheng, shaking her head, her face full of affectionate intent as she continued, ”The Nirvana Martial Contest is conducted openly on the stage. Winning is practically as difficult as ascending to heaven! I am here to persuade you to give up the contest and avoid humiliating yourself!”

”Ancestral Granny!” Gu Changsheng cried out softly at once upon hearing this.

Although Old Madam Zuoqiu’s analysis made a lot of sense, Gu Changsheng did not want to give up without a fight!

”Little one, listen, the Hidden World Clan has four Primordial Transformative Realm masters. Forget Wu Xi, but among the others, besides the children on the edge of the Transformative Realm, there’s still those who are Conquest Realm Primordials, numbering three more!”

Old Madam Zuoqiu grabbed Gu Changsheng’s sleeve, speaking tensely, ”Little one, among these three, one is from the Zhuge family, none other than Zhuge Manman, who has a marital alliance with my descendant!”

”Zhuge Manman?” Gu Changsheng was shocked hearing this; wasn’t Zhuge Manman the little girl with two small buns standing beside Zuoqiu Yuanyuan on the initial stage?

He turned out to be a Primordial Transformative Realm master!

My God!

This world is indeed full of surprises!

Such a young little girl was actually a Primordial Transformative Realm master; truly, she hides her true power well!

”That little girl apart, as she won’t really do anything to you, but there are two others! Little one, listen closely! The usually silent Bai Family has a girl who is a Primordial Transformative Realm master. This girl has never made a move and never appeared in public, but she is indeed a master of the Primordial Transformative Realm. And the other one, little one, coincidentally comes from the Yu Mansion Yu Family that you offended not lightly!”

”Yu Family?” Gu Changsheng felt his head swell hearing Yu Family!

Goodness!

The Yu Mansion Yu Family actually hides a Primordial Transformative Realm master?

This...

”Why do you think the Yu Mansion dares to be so arrogant and domineering? Little one, Yu Qingqiu’s uncle, is less than twenty years old, yet has already reached the Primordial Transformative Realm. He is undoubtedly a Primordial Transformative Realm master!” Old Madam Zuoqiu observed all of Gu Changsheng’s shock, shaking her head and continuing, ”Do you think Yu Lianyi, a mere concubine-born daughter, could become one of the foremost masters in the Hidden World Clan despite the suppression from the Yu Family? Little one, she merely caught the interest of Yu Zhiqian, receiving a few pointers from him!”

Yu Zhiqian, the Primordial Transformative Realm master of the Yu Mansion Yu Family!

Hearing this news, Gu Changsheng immediately held his head in misery, regretting deeply!

”Dammit! Why didn’t you say so earlier! If you had, I wouldn’t have offended so many people!”

If there were a remedy for regret in this world, Gu Changsheng vowed he would never have sought justice at the Licheng City Gate, beating that so-called Yu Qingqiu!

Now it’s clear; Yu Qingqiu had the capital to be arrogant and domineering, with a Primordial Transformative Realm master, Yu Zhiqian, standing behind him!

”That little girl from the Bai Family and Yu Zhiqian from the Yu Mansion, you are destined not to beat them, let alone Famous General Wei of the Wei Family, and those children from the Nangong Family. They are all children with strength comparable to yours. Perhaps, you may already lose before you even face Yu Zhiqian two!” Old Madam Zuoqiu was relentless in her remarks on Gu Changsheng, sparing no effort to strike him down.

”Ancestral Granny, can’t you offer a bit of hope and light? With experts everywhere, life feels utterly bleak!” Gu Changsheng exclaimed pitifully upon hearing this.
