Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Gu Changsheng and the Medicine Immortal Old Man hid under the grass for just a moment, when a black figure flew over from afar towards the prairie!

Gu Changsheng tightly gripped the silver needles in her hand, her bright little face full of frost, watching the silhouette gradually approach, her entire being was on high alert!

Here it comes!

This is the person!

It is...

The next moment, a shade of disbelief flashed in Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes as she looked at the person bending low and searching all over the grassland, stunned!

Such a familiar silhouette!

Such a familiar aura!

Looking at that black silhouette, Gu Changsheng’s bright little face was full of suspicion and uncertainty, she finally understood why the Old Man had just said this person would surprise her, would make things difficult for her...

That’s right!

Gu Changsheng was indeed surprised!

And indeed a bit troubled!

Because this person, Gu Changsheng knew!

Although she didn’t know this person’s name, she had seen this person today at the exit of No Return Path!

He was a close confidant of Shi Wujue!

Gu Changsheng hadn’t expected it to be him!

With a look of suspicion and uncertainty, Gu Changsheng glanced at the Medicine Immortal Old Man beside her, stood up, and slowly walked out from the cover of the grass...

Duo Shu, who was frantically searching around, had a face full of anxiety under the black clothes, and the absent-minded him did not notice Gu Changsheng gradually approaching him!

Actually, even if he wasn’t distracted, he might not be able to sense Gu Changsheng’s presence!

Because between a Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm and one who surpasses it, the difference in strength is an insurmountable chasm!

As long as Gu Changsheng wanted, he truly wouldn’t be able to discover her trace!

”Is this what you are looking for?”

A cold voice sounded behind Duo Shu, indifferent, without a trace of emotion.

Upon hearing this, Duo Shu’s entire body stiffened, maintaining the posture of bending over searching, woodenly turning around, his face covered under black clothes was full of shock, looking towards the woman standing behind him...

A figure in blood-red clothing reflected in the night, shadowy like a raging fire, her bright face with distinct features and a hint of the Color of Holy Gold between her brows, making one unable to look straight at her...

Gu Changsheng!

”You... why are you here?” Duo Shu’s voice involuntarily trembled slightly, he hadn’t expected after being tricked by Wu Xi, and coming back to destroy the poison needle, he would meet Gu Changsheng!

”Why I am here is not important, tell me, why are you here? Is this what you are looking for?” Gu Changsheng said coldly to Duo Shu, as she extended the poison needle in her hand forward, her mouth curled into a cold-blooded smile and continued in a low voice, ”Qianji Poison... There are thousands upon thousands of poisons in this world, and there aren’t fewer than a hundred types of Blood-Sealing Throat poisons. I can understand your reason to eliminate Zhou Mu, but tell me, why abandon thousands of poisons only to choose the Qianji Poison?”

As she said this, Gu Changsheng took a step closer to Duo Shu with the silver needle in her hand...

As Gu Changsheng approached, Duo Shu instinctively took a step back, his face under the black clothing becoming even more unpredictable...

”I...”

”Being a close confidant of Shi Wujue, I only give you this chance to explain, your intention to eliminate me and my evildoer I have already learned from Shi Wujue’s mouth in the Valley of Forgetfulness, but why did you specifically choose the Qianji Poison?” Once more stepping closer to Duo Shu, Gu Changsheng fixed her gaze on him, her entire oppressive presence undisguised, her voice exceptionally cold, ”You know, don’t you? You know Zhou Mu is affected by Qianji Poison, and the Qianji Poison on this poison needle cannot take others’ lives, but can uniquely take his life, right?”

”I... I...” Under Gu Changsheng’s questioning, Duo Shu retreated step by step, his entire being on high alert, involuntarily glancing behind him...

”Trying to run? Under my hand, do you think you can escape?” Noticing Duo Shu’s small action, Gu Changsheng mercilessly broke all his hopes...

Upon hearing this, Duo Shu immediately halted his steps, a bleak look flashed across his face under the black clothes...

Indeed, he knew Wu Xi had tricked him, if he turned back and encountered Wu Xi, in the same realm, he, Duo Shu, would not fear battling Wu Xi!

But what she never expected was that he actually encountered Gu Changsheng!

This woman, he couldn’t see through her, unfathomable, making him feel a deep-seated dread!

Duo Shu kept his head low before Gu Changsheng, silent and speechless!

”Tell me, why the Qianji Poison? How did you know Zhou Mu was poisoned with Qianji Poison?” Gu Changsheng’s icy interrogation voice sounded again.

Upon hearing this, Duo Shu slightly raised his head, glanced at Gu Changsheng, then looked again at Wu Xi coming from afar, fiercely closed his eyes, and opened his hoarse voice, ”Enough with the nonsense! I did it, I admit! Whether to kill or flay, do as you please!”

”You!”

Gu Changsheng heard this, and an icy aura swept around him as he reached out, grabbed Duo Shu’s neck without hesitation, and with a face full of shadow, said, ”Are you courting death? Tell me, how did you know?”

”How I knew isn’t crucial. It’s true I wanted to kill Crown Prince Mu, but there’s no need for Southern Emperor to ask me how. Even if asked, I won’t say! If the Southern Emperor wants to kill me, then go ahead!” With his neck gripped in Gu Changsheng’s hand, Duo Shu remained calm, raised his head, and spoke as if facing death bravely.

”You!” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng was suddenly a bit frantic, gripping Duo Shu’s neck tighter.

The atmosphere instantly turned tense to the extreme; if Gu Changsheng used a bit more force, Duo Shu’s life could end in an instant...

”Changsheng Melon Baby, don’t be impulsive! Don’t be impulsive!” The Medicine Immortal Old Man couldn’t help but step forward a few paces, tugging at Gu Changsheng’s arm gripping Duo Shu’s neck, and softly comforted, ”Ultimately, he’s Shi Wujue’s trusted aide; if you act now, it might be hard to explain later...”

”He wants to kill my evildoer; even if I kill him, what of it? Why should I explain to Shi Wujue?” Hearing this, the enraged Gu Changsheng spoke in a deep voice.

”That’s true, but Shi Wujue has done you a favor; this trusted aide of his harbors ill intentions against Zhou Mu in full loyalty to his master. You’re exceeding your authority by killing him; it may provoke discord...” The Medicine Immortal Old Man responded gently.

He had never acted so reasonable in this lifetime, and now experiencing it felt quite conflicting.

He hoped his rebellious disciple could understand his intentions!

It was easy to kill Duo Shu, but why he knew Zhou Mu was poisoned with Qianji Poison would be untraceable!

Zhou Mu’s safety is of great concern, demanding caution and calm!

The Medicine Immortal Old Man continued speaking while signaling to Gu Changsheng, hoping she would understand his true intention...

Gu Changsheng was no fool; more precisely, she was a discerning person. Having heard the Medicine Immortal Old Man’s words and received his signals, her boundless rage fueled by concern for Zhou Mu’s safety gradually calmed...

This person can’t be killed!

At least, not killed just like that!

If she kills him, she won’t find out how the information about Zhou Mu being poisoned with Qianji Poison got leaked, nor would she know if this person was truly involved in Zhou Mu’s poisoning!

”Hmph!” Gu Changsheng sneered coldly and tossed Duo Shu aside, watching him stagger and fall to the ground, her gaze sharp as she spoke, ”You won’t talk, but someone will make you talk! For Shi Wujue’s sake, I won’t kill you! Since you’re his subordinate, let him ask you himself!”

Walking toward Yanmen Pass without looking back, Gu Changsheng said to Duo Shu behind her, ”Don’t even think about escaping. If you flee, your master won’t be able to clean his name! I’m not killing you to avoid provoking discord with Shi Wujue. But if you escape, discord will undoubtedly arise!”

With these words, Gu Changsheng didn’t even glance back at Duo Shu, summoned her Inner Strength, and flew toward Yanmen Pass...

On the ground, Duo Shu listened to Gu Changsheng’s words, his expression hidden beneath his black clothing, full of deep shadow...

”Let’s go! Since you’re Shi Wujue’s trusted aide, you wouldn’t likely do anything to put your master in a difficult position! Go back, face him and explain clearly!” The Medicine Immortal Old Man watched his disciple disappearing rapidly, glanced at the fallen Duo Shu, shrugged, and said hesitantly, ”If you haven’t made up your mind, take your time thinking about it—once you’ve decided, come chasing after us.”

Saying this, the Medicine Immortal Old Man didn’t linger either, turning and pursuing Gu Changsheng’s direction!

Gu Changsheng dared to leave Duo Shu behind because she was confident that as Shi Wujue’s trusted aide, Duo Shu would never betray his master under any circumstances!

At this time, people valued trust and loyalty highly; being esteemed by Shi Wujue, becoming his trusted aide, and also a Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm would certainly never do anything to put their master in a difficult situation!

On the ground, Duo Shu’s face concealed under the black clothing was full of darkness, watching Gu Changsheng and the Medicine Immortal Old Man leave, he raised his fist and angrily pounded the ground, finally getting up and resignedly chasing after them...

Heading towards Yanmen Pass, Duo Shu’s mind raced rapidly, thinking about how to cover up his involvement in Zhou Mu’s poisoning incident—if indeed unfeasible to conceal, he would do everything possible to keep it secret, resolutely denying any connection to his Hall Master, avoiding ruining Ancient Country’s schemes...

Gu Changsheng wasn’t wrong; Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue had returned to the guesthouse at Yanmen Pass!

Furthermore, the two of them were in the main hall at that moment!

Watching Gu Changsheng return from outside with an air of bristling hostility, Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue exchanged bewildered looks, unsure for a moment!

Selecting a random vacant chair, Gu Changsheng sat down, hatefully glaring at the two...
