Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s curiosity instantly deepened in her heart!

She still clearly remembered the look of terror on Yu Qingqiu’s face when he died, as if he’d seen the end of the world, his pupils shrunk to pinpoints!

”Saw something he shouldn’t have? What thing?” Scooting a bit closer to Shi Wujue again, Gu Changsheng blinked her eyes and asked with a face full of puzzlement.

Damn it, on this No Return Path there were no mechanisms or anything, the only thing laid down was an illusion that threw people’s minds into chaos, and the whole point of it was just to make people turn back!

And Shi Wujue had also said, the reason you die if you turn back on the No Return Path is because they saw something they shouldn’t have seen. As someone who had never turned back, Gu Changsheng was really curious—her heart felt like ten cats were clawing at it, itching like crazy!

She really didn’t know that in this world, there could actually be something that you’re supposed to die the moment you see it!

Could it be that on this No Return Path, there was actually some kind of monstrous calamity hidden?

But that shouldn’t be right. What kind of people were she and her own evildoer? If there really was something hidden on this No Return Path, logically speaking it shouldn’t be able to escape their eyes!

Therefore, on this No Return Path, there really was nothing at all!

Wasn’t that exactly what made this matter so bizarre? Leaving people racking their brains and still unable to figure it out?

”Shi Wujue, stop keeping me in suspense. I’m the kind of person who can’t keep anything in my heart. If I don’t get everything clear today, I’m just going to squat here and refuse to leave!” Seeing that after her repeated questioning, Shi Wujue merely kept a tight face and stayed silent, Gu Changsheng’s stubborn temper flared up as well. She sat cross-legged right in front of Shi Wujue, looking like she was prepared to butt heads with him to the bitter end!

Seeing this, that world‑shocking face of Shi Wujue’s immediately showed a wry, helpless smile. Lowering his head, he glanced at his own sorry state, couldn’t help but shake his head, and said, ”Speaking of which, Beauty, this City Lord ended up covered in wounds just to bring you all out of danger. At a time like this, isn’t the most important thing to hurry back home with this City Lord to heal my injuries?”

Hidden under the black clothes, Duo Shu hurriedly nodded when he heard his master’s words!

Exactly, that’s the point!

Stop asking already!

If she kept asking about their City Lord’s identity, it was bound to be exposed!

He himself still hadn’t figured out why Gu Changsheng’s image had appeared on the bright moon. He was even more puzzled in his heart, just waiting for his master to go back so they could sort everything out clearly!

Hearing Shi Wujue’s words, Gu Changsheng waved her hand carelessly, raised a brow and said, ”How is it as serious as you say? With me here, even if you want to die, it won’t be that easy! They say evildoers live a thousand years—how about you just keep on being an evildoer together with me. Come, come, I’ll give you a medicinal pill to perk you up a bit. It’ll definitely hold you together till we get back to Yanmen Pass! Hurry up and explain everything clearly to me!”

As she spoke, Gu Changsheng fished out a medicinal pill she’d been secretly hoarding from her sleeve pouch and shoved it directly into Shi Wujue’s hand!

Shi Wujue looked at the medicinal pill that had appeared in his palm, then glanced at Gu Changsheng’s face that clearly would not give up until she got what she wanted. On that world‑shocking face of his, a trace of bitter smile flashed by...

If his life could truly be cured by medicinal stones, his subjects would probably be celebrating across the land!

What he’d said was urgent, really was urgent. It was just that the woman in front of him, the one he longed for, didn’t understand...

She didn’t understand, and Shi Wujue had never intended to let her understand either!

So it seemed he couldn’t escape taking this path of clearing up her doubts. He could only hope that when she saw those things she shouldn’t see, she wouldn’t lose her composure...

”When you get stubborn like this, Beauty, this City Lord really has no way to deal with you!” With a sigh, Shi Wujue shook his head, then raised his hand and brushed it over his own face. ”This can’t be made clear with words. If you want to see, then see for yourself. Only, you must put on this Moon‑Enveloping Gauze and cover your eyes...”

As he spoke, Shi Wujue took off the White Silk on his face that was stained full with blood and held it out toward Gu Changsheng...

Gu Changsheng looked at the White Silk handed in front of her eyes, then glanced at Shi Wujue’s eyes, still tinged with a bit of blood and blood‑red all over. Her brows couldn’t help but knit slightly...

Meanwhile, at the instant Shi Wujue passed over the Moon‑Enveloping Gauze, Duo Shu instinctively took a tense step forward, and called out in low protest, ”City Lord!”

How could he hand the Moon‑Enveloping Gauze to Gu Changsheng?

Was his master really going to let Gu Changsheng uncover the truth about the No Return Path?

Raising his hand to stop Duo Shu’s unfinished words, Shi Wujue turned his head, letting his long snow‑white hair fall freely, then lifted a hand to point toward the Stone Wall Barrier and said in a low, pondering voice, ”Through this Barrier, look toward the end of the No Return Path, and you will see everything you want to see...”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng, half convinced and half doubtful, tied the White Silk in her hand over her face, covering her eyes...

This White Silk, he called it Moon‑Enveloping Gauze, right?

It looked thick, yet it was tight and transparent. It covered her eyes, but did not block her sight—she could actually see everything in front of her clearly...

Climbing up from the ground, Gu Changsheng took a few quick steps to the Stone Wall Barrier, pressed herself against the edge of the Barrier, craned her neck, and peered inside through it...

Just now, they had tangled quite a bit at this Barrier, nine deaths and still alive, almost falling back into it again. Gu Changsheng had really had no mind to look down that No Return Path...

At this moment, with Shi Wujue’s permission, Gu Changsheng’s courage instantly swelled!

Look, this No Return Cliff with its No Return Path was created by Shi Wujue’s ancestors. Since he said they could look, then they could definitely look. There shouldn’t be anything going wrong anyway!

With safety guaranteed, Gu Changsheng naturally grew bolder. Her brows slightly furrowed, Phoenix Eyes wide open as she peered through the Moon-Enveloping Gauze, looking past the Stone Wall Barrier, all the way toward the end of the No Return Path...

One glance!

Just one glance!

Even someone like Gu Changsheng, who’d seen plenty in her time and fancied herself well-informed, had the expression on her face change in an instant!

It became exactly the same as Yu Qingqiu’s expression before she died. On that bright little face of hers, terror flooded every inch; in her Phoenix Eyes there was nothing but horror, her pupils shrinking over and over...

Zhou Mu saw Gu Changsheng’s body go rigid the moment she pressed herself against the Barrier, and he immediately cried out, ”Changsheng!”

Then, worried something might happen to Gu Changsheng, Zhou Mu lunged toward her...

But before he could even get close, Shi Wujue lifted a hand and blocked him!

His long, narrow brows arched slightly. Staring at Gu Changsheng’s back, Shi Wujue shot Zhou Mu a wicked, sinister smile and said in a low voice, ”She’s the one who insisted on looking. If you’re curious, you can wait till she’s done, then look through the Moon-Enveloping Gauze yourself...”

Here, Shi Wujue paused, then raised his brows again and continued, ”I guarantee your reaction won’t be much different from hers!”

Hearing this, Zhou Mu frowned, but the worry in his heart still eased somewhat. He no longer moved closer to Gu Changsheng.

Meanwhile, Gu Changsheng seemed not to have heard a word of Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue’s conversation. Her whole being had been scared stupid by what she saw!

Godfather and his damn Fourth Auntie Grandma, Gu Changsheng was no frog at the bottom of a well. In her previous life, she’d at least watched Hollywood blockbusters!

But even so, she’d never imagined that one day, scenes you only ever see in sci‑fi movies would be displayed right in front of her like this...

No!

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t sci‑fi at all, it was... fantasy!

Mountains collapsing and rocks splitting, seawater flowing backward—those figures, with the lift of a hand or the step of a foot, were triggering world‑changing shifts of ocean into mulberry fields and back again. This damn thing, how could it possibly be something humans can do?

And that wasn’t all. The key point was that these people wielding defiance-of-heaven powers, each one shining with blinding golden light, were actually fighting!

That might—despite being so far away, despite being separated by the Barrier and the Moon-Enveloping Gauze over her face—Gu Changsheng could clearly feel that world‑annihilating, mountain‑crushing, sea‑overturning aura!

Too domineering! Too impossible to deal with!

It was completely beyond what human strength could resist!

Just watching it made one’s mind start to slip. Even though she was standing outside the Barrier, she was so shaken by the sight she couldn’t breathe. It was as if her entire being had been shrouded by that boundless, tyrannical aura; her chest was tight with a dull ache, and it felt like in the very next instant she’d be crushed and burst apart...

”Had enough?”

Just as Gu Changsheng felt as if she’d been struck by lightning, so stunned she couldn’t move, a long, slender hand thrust into her field of vision and forcibly hauled her around...

The Moon-Enveloping Gauze covering her face was yanked off by Shi Wujue in one go!

Her bright little face saw daylight again, but Gu Changsheng herself was still a bit dazed. Her mouth hung wide open, her eyes were round as marbles—clearly the look of someone badly traumatized...

Seeing her like this, Shi Wujue shook his head, then met Zhou Mu’s puzzled, frowning gaze...

With a slant of his brows, that world‑stunning face of Shi Wujue’s showed a trace of helplessness. He shrugged, resigned, and held the Moon-Enveloping Gauze out again. ”If you want to look, then look. I hope you’ll at least show a bit more backbone than she did!”

At these words, Zhou Mu’s face, as if carved for a Divine Residence, tightened with an even deeper frown. But being someone who’d never been fond of talking, he still chose to take the Moon-Enveloping Gauze from Shi Wujue’s hand, tie it onto his face like Gu Changsheng had, turn, and walk toward the Stone Wall Barrier...

Watching Zhou Mu’s movements, Shi Wujue shook his head helplessly, then looked at Gu Changsheng, who was still too shocked to recover, and let out a sigh...

As expected!

Just as Shi Wujue had said, Zhou Mu’s reaction was nearly identical to Gu Changsheng’s!

Shi Wujue didn’t treat him any differently. Very casually, he reached out and dragged the stiff Zhou Mu back as well, then took the Moon-Enveloping Gauze off his face. Holding it in his hands, he folded it while giving the two of them a sidelong glance, curling his lip as he spoke in an utterly calm tone, ”This City Lord assumed at least the two of you had seen your share of the world. Never thought you’d be this incapable of handling it. This City Lord really did overestimate you. Look how scared you are...”
