Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Capítulo 1519: Chapter 1156: Medical Immortal, Wu Xi!

The merchant’s whip in hand swung directly towards the old beggar.

But the old beggar standing in front of the carriage didn’t shy away. His gaze remained fixed on the two merchants, “I ask you, did the Southern Emperor really destroy the Dugu Clan? Did the Hidden World Clan really send out a Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm?”

“You!” The merchant was taken aback at these words, then immediately flared up in anger. Initially, the whip in hand was just to scare the old beggar without much force, but seeing the old beggar unmoved and seemingly disregarding them, he instantly put some real power into it!

“Ignorant beggar!”

Scolding angrily, the merchant lost all patience with the road-blocking beggar.

The long whip cracked in the air with force!

This time, it really went directly toward the old beggar’s body!

As the whip was about to strike, other beggars who had been praying with the old beggar for a few days at the base of the city wall shut their eyes in fright!

Oh no, oh no!

It seems one less beggar will be among them today. They anticipated that in the next moment, the sound of wailing would echo, and the old beggar would fall terribly!

“Bang!”

Surprisingly, a crisp sound rang out, and the old beggar’s voice could be heard again, “You still haven’t answered my question!”

The group of beggars was in disbelief, their eyes wide open.

The old beggar, who should have been knocked down by the whip, was still standing straight, while the whip that should have hit him was casually pinched at the tips of his two black fingers…

This…

The group of beggars was dumbfounded!

How did this even happen?

They hadn’t dared look at the possible carnage just now, and yet the old beggar among them had managed to catch the whip? He looked amazing…

“You!”

The merchant’s face froze when his whip was intercepted mid-air. He tried to pull it back with all his might, only to find it useless!

The old beggar didn’t even flinch a brow, as if the merchant’s strength was negligible.

“You…you…”

The merchant’s face showed a mix of surprise and doubt.

What’s most important in business through Jiangnan? It’s to have sharp eyes!

At this moment, the merchant suddenly realized he had encountered a master!

A master is someone deep and unassuming!

“Answer my question!”

With the whip still in hand, the old beggar pressed on!

“Master… Master please calm down… Which faction do you belong to? I’m just passing through, transporting goods…” Still trying to pull the whip back, the merchant asked hesitantly.

“Go your master! Who’s your master here? I’m just a beggar by this wall! I’m asking you a question, and you still don’t answer! Are your words true?” The old beggar got anxious when the merchant changed his tone without answering.

“Yes, yes! I’ll answer, I’ll answer! Everything I said is true!” The merchant quickly responded, “I just came from Linyuan City, and what I mentioned was heard there. Now the whole city is buzzing with it; this news can’t possibly be false. The Southern Emperor indeed destroyed the Dugu Clan, and the Hidden World Clan indeed sent a Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm to participate in the semifinals in a few days…”

“Pa!”

The merchant was about to say more, but the old beggar had already released the whip. Caught off guard, the merchant almost fell off his horse but managed to steady himself, only to see the old beggar slap his thigh and shout in anger…

“What kind of trouble has that Little Melon Baby Gu Changsheng gotten into now? I just let her participate in the Nirvana Martial Contest, hoping to give her an opportunity. Who asked her to annihilate the Dugu Clan? Who asked her to provoke the Hidden World Clan to unleash even their watchdogs? This Little Melon Baby has surely vexed me! Vexed me to no end…”

At the base of the city wall, beggars and passersby, including the merchant, were stunned upon hearing this…

That Little Melon Baby Gu Changsheng?

Gu Changsheng? Little Melon Baby?

If they haven’t remembered wrong, isn’t the Southern Emperor indeed called Gu Changsheng?

At the city wall’s edge, the beggars sat with their broken bowls clattering to the ground, almost shattering further. Yet, they couldn’t care less…

Godfather, their little buddy looks so fierce!

Even though they are beggars, they’ve at least heard that above them there’s a woman they can’t even hope to look up to. She’s the one who became the Emperor, and that woman seems to be called Gu Changsheng…

But the little buddy they beg with is even more fierce, daring to call Gu Changsheng a little melon baby right off the bat…

The beggars think that people like them, struggling on the bottom rung, all have a bit of a delusion…

“Hey, old drunkard, stop babbling, it’s almost lunch time, we should go sit at the tavern door together and wait for someone to give us some food…”

An old beggar thought for a moment and still felt he should remind his little buddy that it’s almost time for begging, the golden time for beggars has almost arrived, and it’s time to get to work…

“Don’t mind me, I’m seething with anger…” looking at the dog-beating staff poked in him, the furious old beggar waved his hand, angrily yelling, “This little melon baby! This little melon baby is angering me to death!”

“Hey, old drunkard, calling the Southern Emperor a little melon baby feels great, right? Aren’t you afraid of later having your home ransacked and your family annihilated?” The other old beggar, poking the old drunkard with the dog-beating staff, was helpless and couldn’t resist reminding his buddy not to dream too big, getting themselves as if they mattered more than the Southern Emperor…

Who doesn’t know we’re just beggars, huh?

Even when dreaming, it should be at night huh…

“Ransack my home and destroy my family? Let her come ransack my home, destroy my family! If she doesn’t destroy herself, I won’t be done with that little melon baby!” Hearing this, the old beggar got even angrier, slapped his thigh, and cursed the sky.

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

Pairs of eyes blinked with disdain.

“Well, old man, your bragging is full marks! High! So very high! Blowing it like it’s real, I actually believed it! Such skills! Really such skills!” The merchant sitting atop a tall horse gave a thumbs up, saying with a twitchy face.

At first, he thought this guy who caught his horse whip was a hidden master, now it seems, he overthought, earlier it must have been a coincidence, he managed to catch the whip probably because a blind cat stumbled upon a dead mouse, it was pure luck!

This is just one who can brag to the heavens!

“Old drunkard, stop bragging! If you keep bragging, the sky might break with a hole! C’mon, let’s do serious business and go begging!”

All the beggars, embarrassed for having such a bragging buddy, went up, pulled the old beggar, and wanted to leave, lest staying with the old beggar any longer would embarrass them further!

Being tugged along by the crowd of beggars, the old beggar waved his hand, rather vexed as he said, “Go, go! Don’t pull me, I’m not working today, no time to beg, I’m going to set family affairs in order, and give that unruly melon baby a beating…”

“Stop bragging, who can you beat? It’d be good enough if you aren’t beaten, wasn’t it the time Aunt Wang’s dog chased you all over the street?”

“I was just walking the dog because I had nothing better to do, what do you know! You all go, I’ll come find you after some days…” said the old beggar while struggling a bit, shaking his hand off.

As the beggars, showing no intention of giving up on their buddy, looked on, the old beggar got anxious, reached into his tattered garment, fished out a handful of gold leaves, and scattered them to the side…

“Here, use these to buy some meat, it’s not in vain that you’ve kept company with me, Wu Xi…”

“Clink clink clink”

A sound resonated behind the group of beggars.

The beggars felt a golden glimmer flash past their eyes, then their hands were suddenly empty, and the old beggar in their grip disappeared without a trace…

“Gold! Gold! Gold leaves!”

After a few seconds of silence, the merchant on the tall horse was the first to recover, with trembling hands pointing at the golden scene below, eyes gleaming as he shouted…

After shouting, he regretted it, then, taking the lead, dismounted and pounced on the gold leaves on the ground!

Startled, the beggars quickly snapped back to reality, immediately diving towards the ground behind them!

Instantly the scene became explosive, the sound of scrambling was endless…

By the time the gold leaves on the ground were snatched clean, everyone was biting at the gold leaves in their hands, then looking at each other, scanning the surroundings with faces full of suspicion and uncertainty…

That old beggar who kept calling Gu Changsheng a little melon baby had vanished, leaving them holding genuine, weighty gold leaves…

“That, the name Wu Xi, I seem to have heard it somewhere before…”

The merchant, grabbing several gold leaves, had his hat askew and clothes dirtied in the scramble, standing there with uncertainty written all over his face.

At his words, the beggars and passersby immediately turned their gazes on the merchant…

After a while, the merchant, furrowing his brows in thought, slapped his thigh, pointed afar, and shouted loudly…

“Godfather, I remember now! Among the hidden world clans, the Medical Immortal of Medicine King Valley is apparently called Wu Xi!”
