Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Zhou Mu watched as Shi Wujue retreated step by step, leaning against the railing, lowered his head, and chuckled softly...

”Indeed! She is my betrothed! She is the woman I have chosen for this life! She is also the woman I will never let go of!” The words murmured wistfully from the man with his head lowered, Zhou Mu’s speech opening gently as if he hadn’t seen Shi Wujue’s rejection, continued slowly, ”Shi Wujue, in this world, if someone knows Changsheng better than herself, besides me, there is no second to consider! I understand her better than she understands herself...”

”If she didn’t treat you differently, with her character of never owing anyone, she certainly wouldn’t have risked her life to save you repeatedly without mentioning it... If she didn’t regard you as different from others, with her proud nature, she absolutely wouldn’t have allowed you to follow us, knowing your intentions, yet still choosing to evade self-deceptively...”

At this point, Zhou Mu, who had his head lowered like a divine residence, raised a bitter smile and looked up at Shi Wujue, his gaze burning more fervently, speaking gravely, ”However, Shi Wujue, ultimately, I met her before you, understood and fell in love before you, I took the first step, asked for righteousness and received righteousness, gained her promise to stay together for life, with the matchmaker’s words and the marriage contract, I am the biggest obstacle between you and her!”

”Her pride does not allow her to break her promise and transfer her affection, your admiration will never receive a response as long as I live!”

”Shi Wujue, do you resent me? Wish to grind my bones to dust, to kill swiftly?”

Upon hearing this from Zhou Mu, Shi Wujue was truly shocked!

Unbelievably retreating two more steps, Shi Wujue’s face, known for its stunning beauty across the land, was now filled with a demeanor as if faced with a formidable enemy. Looking at Zhou Mu not far away, his narrow eyes conveyed a look of horror, and he spoke in a voice clouded with suspicion, ”Zhou... Zhou Mu! What nonsense are you talking about? When has this city lord ever... had such thoughts? When I threw her out from danger at No Return Cliff, didn’t I save you too?”

Shi Wujue’s heart was undeniably shaken!

People are selfish!

Even someone as proud as him is not exempt!

He has truly resented Zhou Mu, resented him for appearing before himself, receiving Gu Changsheng’s loving reception, and getting the recognition of the world, thereby setting the marriage contract...

Yet some things, when thought over, must be dismissed...

If he truly took action...

If Zhou Mu truly ceased to exist standing between him and Gu Changsheng...

Shi Wujue shook his head...

He dare not imagine such consequences...

Meanwhile, Zhou Mu, observing Shi Wujue’s expression thoroughly, raised a hint of self-deprecating smile on his divine-like face and spoke again, ”Yes! Even I am surprised you saved me along with her...”

”Shi Wujue, at that time, did you never think of leaving me on that No Return Path? After all, without me, Changsheng would regain her freedom, and under such circumstances, you could have justified yourself.”

”Zhou Mu!”

However, before Zhou Mu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Shi Wujue with an angry face!

On his remarkably beautiful face, anger was evident, Shi Wujue looked at Zhou Mu, truly enraged, raised his hand, pointing at him, speaking furiously and unconditionally, ”Zhou Mu, you always cherish words like gold, when did you become so talkative? Yes! You are indeed insightful, seeing things clearly! On the No Return Path, the city lord did consider leaving you there, but so what? Even though the city lord is an extraordinary figure, he is still human! Humans eat the five cereals, experience seven emotions and six desires! The city lord admired your fiancée, it is with regret with you, yet on the No Return Path, the city lord did not abandon you, this bit of humble thought was hidden to the fullest extent! Today you are speaking assuredly, questioning the city lord, what exactly do you want?”

”Do you want the city lord to extinguish this sentiment? Or do you wish to battle the city lord?”

At this point, the expression on Shi Wujue’s face turned even colder, and his gaze towards Zhou Mu hinted at murderous intent, pointing at Zhou Mu, he continued solemnly, ”Zhou Mu, the city lord’s pride does not permit the city lord to use ancestral relics to see your downfall! But the city lord does not mind having a battle with you! Let me be frank, the city lord indeed admired your woman, the city lord has countless women around him, but the only time he felt deeply was at the wrong time, admiring a wrong woman! But, even if the city lord has hidden his feelings, he won’t express insincere words under your questioning! You want the city lord to extinguish these feelings, impossible! If you refuse, then let’s have a man-to-man contest, life or death by fate, who can accompany her to the end, left to destiny!”

”Thus, the city lord would not be winning dishonorably, and it also provides reasoning before Gu Changsheng!”

Shi Wujue was truly angry!

His love, already too humbling!

Zhou Mu is his rival in love, yet this rival is already at a height he could not hope to reach, he envies, he is jealous, and he hates...

But he hid it well!

However, being questioned by Zhou Mu in such a manner, even clay figures still have a bit of temper, let alone Shi Wujue, the arrogant person of overwhelming demeanor?

He could no longer bear it!

To succeed or to die trying, he had already become so humble he couldn’t voice it, and Zhou Mu forcibly pushed further. It was clearly too much bullying!

He had endured to such an extent, at no loss nor gain, not seeking reward, yet pressed like this, how could he possibly endure it?

Even though he knows that even if he could determine who is better between him and Zhou Mu, in the end, he and Gu Changsheng would inevitably become enemies, he cannot resist, and cannot care too much!

”Hehe...” Upon hearing Shi Wujue’s words, Zhou Mu immediately let out a low laugh, the sound filled with endless self-mockery...

”Zhou Mu!”

This laughter, in Shi Wujue’s ears, was undoubtedly bare-faced provocation, and he immediately roared in uncontrollable anger!

In silence, either you explode, or you perish!

Shi Wujue had already endured for long enough...

Moreover, with his current condition, even how long he would live was still uncertain...

If falling was his only fate, then he hoped more so, to die at Zhou Mu’s hands, at this very moment...

He would rather die in a man-to-man duel with Zhou Mu than wait for the day when his identity would be revealed in front of Gu Changsheng, and face her hateful gaze, and meet her with weapons drawn...

Therefore, with rising anger, Shi Wujue couldn’t hold back anymore. Beneath his black brocade clothes, his hands suddenly gathered inner strength, and his face that was originally pallid due to excessive exertion in the No Return Path battle turned ruddy with rage...

”Zhou Mu! Come fight!”

With an angry shout, Shi Wujue didn’t hesitate, fueled by anger, he charged fiercely at Zhou Mu...

”Shi Wujue! Stop!”

Seeing Shi Wujue rushing at him like he didn’t care about his life, Zhou Mu, with a face akin to a divine residence, showed a hint of helplessness, swiftly dodging, and spoke coldly, trying to stop Shi Wujue’s offensive!

”You provoked the City Lord, yet you want the City Lord to stop? Zhou Mu, do you think that besides you, Zhou Mu, there are no heroes in the world? Come fight, today this City Lord will not compete with you, or I will be unworthy as the Master of Lin Yuan!”

With rising anger, how could Shi Wujue listen to Zhou Mu’s words?

Seeing Zhou Mu dodge, he turned the gun again, and pressed forward to chase after him...

”Boom!”

A not too loud explosion sound came from the guesthouse backyard, causing many to frown, and gather here...

”What happened? What’s happening here? Who’s so daring to show off at the Dark Night Army’s base? Look at our General...”

Diao Chan, wielding her weapon, rushed over anxiously with her subordinates. Upon seeing the two entangled people, her rough man-like face changed several times, and her tone shifted to say in amazement, ”Look at General... Look at General just come to have a look...”

Good gracious!

How come her son-in-law started fighting with Shi Wujue?

What on earth is this about?

Didn’t they just come back all disheveled from outside? What great enmity is this, that they started fighting before even changing clothes?

Hiding in the side room, busy with the pill furnace and constantly working with medicinal herbs, Gu Changsheng also heard the noise outside. However, as long as she was doing something related to medicine, she truly became oblivious to external affairs, so she merely frowned and didn’t dwell on it much, immersing herself in the herbs again...

But the commotion outside quickly attracted several people, even the Medical Immortal Old Man guarding Yu Lianyi, feeling confident that Yu Lianyi wouldn’t die for a while, ran out eagerly, observing the commotion with his chin held high...

”Oh dear! These two little melon babies have finally started fighting! Look at the posture, it looks like they’re bent on a life-and-death struggle!” Enjoying the spectacle without fearing the consequences, the Medical Immortal Old Man seemed quite pleased.

Hearing this, Diao Chan immediately moved closer to the Medical Immortal Old Man and, looking at the two people fighting, anxiously asked, ”Senior, why did they start fighting? Stop watching the commotion, quickly go up and mediate!”

”Do you think I’m stupid? I go up to mediate? Do I look like a fish eager to be caught in the crossfire?” The Medical Immortal Old Man retorted, giving Diao Chan a disdainful glance and continued, ”The duel between these two you mentioned is a man-to-man competition, what business do I have in joining the fray? I have no improper desire for that little melon baby, Changsheng!”

”Senior, what are you talking about? If you don’t go mediate and they really hurt or maim one another, what then?” Diao Chan heard this, utterly confused and in panic!

”Oh dear, you don’t get it, wooden club! In a man-to-man fight, ultimately, it’s about determining life and death. Hurt or maim one another? You sure know how to beat around the bush...”
