Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

In front, a patch of ground stained by fresh blood, severed limbs, corpses, Gadatu suddenly became tense as if facing a great enemy, looking at Gu Changsheng with full dread!

Gadatu’s reaction was fully noticed by Gu Changsheng, who couldn’t help but let out a low laugh...

”Hehe... Gadatu, why are you so tense?”

What a question!

Why am I so tense, you ask?

Facing someone like you, a ruthless killer, can I not be tense?

”Southern Emperor... is there anything else you wish to instruct? Since the Southern Emperor is at Yanmen Pass, Gadatu, as the master of this place, must extend some hospitality and entertain well. If the Southern Emperor has any orders, just say them freely!” He raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, speaking in a state of anxious reverence.

”Your hospitality is indeed thorough, and this Guesthouse is quite nice, but this is not what I want to talk about...” Gu Changsheng replied with a smile, raising her eyebrows as she continued energetically, ”What I want to say is, Gadatu, it is only right and proper to repay debts, the consultation fee you owe me should be settled promptly, unless you hope I stay at Yanmen Pass a little longer? If so, I would be honored to accept...”

Let her stay at Yanmen Pass a little longer?

No!

That’s definitely not the outcome Gadatu wanted!

Inviting the gods is easy, but sending them away is hard. If he doesn’t seize this opportunity to send the deity away, he’s a fool!

Gadatu shook his head hastily, a look of anguish on his face, ”I dare not delay the Southern Emperor’s journey! I dare not delay the Southern Emperor’s journey...”

Leave quickly! Leave quickly!

The faster you go, the better!

Go harm somewhere else, as long as you don’t harm the land of his tribe!

However...

This consultation fee...

Gadatu suddenly felt that he could almost not breathe...

”Oh, I was thinking, this Yanmen Pass with its contrasting cultures, maybe I could stay a few more days...” Gu Changsheng heard and spoke with apparent regret.

”No! No! Southern Emperor, within Yanmen Pass, all Northern Mongolian tribes have cultures different from those of the Central Plains, believe me!” Gadatu responded immediately without thinking!

What’s there to see in Yanmen Pass? Tell him, he’ll immediately order it to be torn down!

Gu Changsheng heard and shook her head, with a cheeky smile, ”The differing culture is one thing, but the people at Yanmen Pass are also quite good-looking! Especially these three hundred thousand Defending Army men, looking at each Gada Tribe warrior, tsk tsk...”

Threat!

This is a blatant threat!

Gadatu is one hundred percent sure Gu Changsheng is threatening him with the lives of his tribe’s youths!

Indeed!

He unexpectedly forgot, earlier Gu Changsheng sent a signal to mobilize the army!

This is simply fatal!

Large sweat droplets emerged from Gadatu’s forehead, he almost didn’t need to think, and solemnly spoke, ”Don’t worry, Southern Emperor, I will have the consultation fee counted immediately. However, the amount is huge, it might take some time, but I will hurry! I will definitely hurry!”

Only after paying the consultation fee, would the Southern Emperor, this great Buddha Lord, agree to leave, Gadatu finally realized this fact!

Gu Changsheng was very satisfied upon hearing this, her smile brightened immensely, and she nodded, speaking as if bestowing kindness, ”Well, Diao Chan, send a signal to let the garrison heading to Yanmen Pass return home and sleep!”

”Yes!” Diao Chan responded immediately.

Gadatu then let out a long sigh of relief!

Watching Gu Changsheng walk toward the Guesthouse’s entrance, he finally let go of the tension in his heart!

With his heart relaxed, Gadatu immediately remembered the consultation fee he had to pay...

Consultation fee!

This consultation fee is truly draining his life!

Heartache! Liver pain! The whole body aches!

Gadatu’s resentful gaze inevitably turned toward the culprits who caused him to lose all his fortune!

People of the Hidden World Clan!

If not for these people, how would he have ended up needing Gu Changsheng’s treatment and under her coercion, making an oath to repay with all his possessions?

All because of these people!

He wants to kill them!

Gadatu’s hand resting on the palanquin couldn’t help but grip tightly, produce sounds of bones moving, enemies meeting again upon burning red eyes, plus the imminent loss of all his fortune, Gadatu at this moment was beyond furious, he was on the verge of exploding!

Elder Yuh and others received Gadatu’s resentful gaze, their hearts immediately tensed!

At this point, they finally accepted that the person before them was indeed Gadatu!

It was indeed Gadatu who survived their attempt to silence him!

But now, Gadatu had declared independence. Gadatu was not to be feared; they could kill him once, they could kill him twice. However, what was truly frightening was the three hundred thousand Yanmen Pass Garrison behind him!

A hero could not withstand a pack of wolves, let alone people from the Hidden World Clan, who were not heroes at all?

Therefore, when Gadatu was so furious that his entire skeleton was rattling, even before he could give an order, Elder Yuh was the first to react, swiftly chasing after Gu Changsheng while shouting, ”Southern Emperor, please slow down, Southern Emperor, please slow down, I still have some matters to discuss with you...”

The rest of the Hidden World Clan saw this and didn’t dare to delay.

They moved even faster, scrambling to catch up with Gu Changsheng and his companions...

It wasn’t until they entered the Guesthouse that they discovered their backs were already soaked with sweat!

It’s over!

We’ve gotten ourselves into trouble this time!

Within the Guesthouse, with Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, Gadatu naturally dared not act recklessly. But what if they left the Guesthouse, away from Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu’s side?

This was quite uncertain!

After all, for miles around Yanmen Pass, it was all the territory of the Gada Tribe!

”You can hide for now, but not forever. Let’s see how long you can keep your heads down like turtles!” Gadatu watched the people from the Hidden World Clan trailing behind Gu Changsheng, seething with anger, almost grinding his teeth to bits, and couldn’t help but pound his fist on the palanquin!

After this turmoil, Gadatu’s confidants also breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that even Gu Changsheng’s silhouette was no longer visible, one couldn’t help but step forward and say, ”Clan Leader, have you really incurred a debt for the Southern Emperor’s consultation fee? From her words, it seems if we don’t pay this fee, she won’t leave. In my opinion, it’s best to quickly send her away. She’s not someone to mess with. Keeping her in Yanmen Pass is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger. I’ll go prepare a generous consultation fee to send to the Guesthouse!”

Saying this, the confidant paused and added, ”Moreover, this consultation fee can only be more, not less. Otherwise, if the Southern Emperor is dissatisfied, it could be troublesome!”

As the confidant’s words made sense, the other confidants couldn’t help but nod in agreement!

”More? How much more? I can’t afford any more!” But Gadatu looked at his confidants, already livid, his face turning red with rage, clearly at the peak of his fury.

Hearing this, the confidants couldn’t help but exchange glances, not understanding what sparked their clan leader’s wrath!

”Well, Clan Leader, if you’re short on funds, we could...” As the clan leader’s confidants, they naturally knew the clan leader’s indulgences. The little servant house was a place that burned through gold...

But it shouldn’t be like this...

As the Clan Leader of the Gada Tribe, his family’s wealth was abundant. Built up over generations, even for a place as costly as the little servant house, even if he resided there permanently, he wouldn’t be able to spend it all in ten lifetimes...

So, saying the clan leader was short on funds was somewhat far-fetched...

The confidant knew misspoke upon saying it, and his face was inevitably a bit embarrassed...

The other confidants, hearing this, immediately laughed...

Yet, Gadatu couldn’t laugh. At that moment, he couldn’t even cry, feeling like he wanted to die!

”I fear, from now on, I’ll really have to rely on you guys to get by...” In the laughter of his confidants, Gadatu spoke with a face full of distress and conflict.

The confidants were stunned upon hearing his words.

”Clan Leader must be joking. The clan leader’s wealth is immense, my lord...”

”When did I have the mood to joke with you?” But before the confidant could finish, Gadatu slammed his hand on the palanquin, shouting, with his eyes bulging in anger, ”Do you think I owe the Southern Emperor a few thousand, ten thousand taels, a hundred thousand taels?”

”Uh... A hundred thousand taels, that is a bit much...” The confidant, stunned by Gadatu’s roar, stammered.

”I owe her my entire fortune!” But Gadatu continued, already having said it!

A hundred thousand taels, for Gadatu, was just a drop in the bucket!

What he owned was his entire fortune!

His entire fortune!

The confidants were stunned upon hearing this!

His entire fortune?

How much was the Gada Tribe Clan Leader’s entire fortune?

They truly had no idea...

”Clan Leader, do your cattle and horses on the pasture count?” a confidant foolishly asked, as the clan leader’s pasture had tens of thousands of cattle and sheep and thousands of war horses...

”Aren’t those my property? Huh? Aren’t those my property?” Gadatu heard and immediately pounded on the palanquin, shouting again, ”The entire fortune! Do you understand what an entire fortune means?”

”Then Clan Leader... does your pasture count too?” the subordinate cautiously asked again.

Upon hearing this, Gadatu, no longer able to shout, slumped onto the palanquin, ”I wish it didn’t count, but is this something I can decide? In here, there’s someone waiting to collect...”

Saying this, Gadatu weakly pointed towards the Guesthouse...

Inside, there was indeed an ancestor waiting!

The family fortune accumulated over generations as the clan leader of the Gada Tribe, now all vanished, wasted... gone...

Looking at Gadatu, the confidants’ expressions immediately turned sympathetic, wanting to say something, but not knowing what.
