Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Although the people of the Kelie faction treated Landuoer like the apple of their eye and gave them the best Guest Garden, ultimately, it’s those with money who are the masters. Gu Changsheng, who is extremely wealthy, still managed to get a decent little courtyard despite being the master among masters!

The rain on the prairie wasn’t a torrential downpour, but it was drizzling and showed no sign of stopping anytime soon. Gu Changsheng returned to the guest room and didn’t require the Waiter to attend to him. He ordered hot water and took a good shower. When he walked out from the guest room, clean and refreshed, he saw Duo Shu and Yuan Bao returning in the rain. Standing under the eaves, Gu Changsheng blinked and, looking at the item tucked under Duo Shu’s arm, couldn’t help but ask, ”Hey, Black Man, what are you carrying?”

If there was anything Duo Shu most didn’t want to hear in his lifetime, it hadn’t existed before now. But from this point onward, it must be the name ”Black Man”!

Was he black? He was at least known as a handsome man in the Ancient Country, only falling short because he couldn’t compare with his own Hall Master. He merely spent most of his time working for his master, accustomed to wearing black clothes. Plus, most of the people behind his master dressed similarly. So why did he end up with such a nickname?

But Gu Changsheng asked him, so he couldn’t remain silent!

He had already promised his master that for the sake of the grand plan, he would endure everything!

”A sack!” So, even though Duo Shu resented being called Black Man, he still replied grudgingly.

Then, without waiting for Gu Changsheng’s response, he headed straight to the guest room arranged for his own master!

Gu Changsheng watched Duo Shu leave, his expression a bit stunned, almost as if he’d been struck by lightning!

”Missus, do you think this Black Man is foolish? It’s raining, and he runs out and spends two Gold Ingots just to exchange for this sack. Don’t you think he has money to burn?” Yuan Bao asked, not very kindly, watching Duo Shu leave as he immediately began dismantling things.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s lips twitched, and he woodenly turned his head to look at Yuan Bao...

He wondered, how carefree and unworried one must be? Over the past year or two as they’ve traveled north and south, Yuan Bao has truly been nurtured to become more and more like Xiao Er Que!

”Honestly, the Linyuan City’s Lord Shi Wujue truly has money to burn. Even one of his subordinates spends money so extravagantly!” Yuan Bao saw Gu Changsheng looked at him without speaking and didn’t mind as he made a summary on his own.

Spending two Gold Ingots to exchange for a sack was indeed extravagant!

From Yuan Bao’s eyes, Gu Changsheng truly saw the potential of a miser and envy, jealousy, and disdain for Duo Shu’s extravagant spending.

”Yuan Bao, are you very poor?” Gu Changsheng endured several times but still couldn’t help but ask, without revealing why Duo Shu went and bought a sack.

”Why does Missus ask this?” Yuan Bao was a bit dumbfounded upon hearing this.

Gu Changsheng raised his hand, pointed in the direction Duo Shu left, and spoke sheepishly, ”Because I see your eyes are turning red when you look at him. You seem awfully envious...”

”Uh...” Yuan Bao felt embarrassed as he lifted his hand to touch his head upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words.

Gu Changsheng smiled and kicked Yuan Bao, speaking with exasperation, ”Don’t envy others, and don’t spend your days thinking about saving Silver. Your missus will prepare a grand retirement for you, so just go clean up that mess you carry!”

”Alright! Sure!” Yuan Bao stumbled from Gu Changsheng’s kick but laughed heartily, showing his teeth as he hurried off to the vacant guest room, holding his backside.

Gu Changsheng watched Yuan Bao’s lively figure with a indulgent smile.

She treasures Yuan Bao because he is so endearing, and he is absolutely loyal to her and her evildoer. However, he is just a Little Eunuch, destined to have no support in old age. Eunuchs always save up a lot of Silver for retirement while still favored by their master when young, but her Yuan Bao completely needn’t do this!

Her Yuan Bao is steadfastly loyal and has already died for her once. How could she allow him to live uncertainly?

Her Yuan Bao, although destined to have no offspring, since Gu Changsheng is the Southern Emperor now, if her Yuan Bao likes sons, she can find him a son; if he likes daughters, she can find him a daughter. In any case, she won’t allow Yuan Bao to end up elderly and alone like those ordinary Little Eunuchs!

”What a Xiao Er Que, he’s about to be fooled into a sack and still looks clueless!”

Shaking her head, Gu Changsheng chuckled softly, then turned and walked into her guest room. On the table in the guest room was a book. At some point, Gu Changsheng grew accustomed to recording things in this little book that she couldn’t arrange and didn’t trust...

Things like matters of the Southern Country, her little meat bun, Xiao Cui by her side, Han Qiu...

Today, another note was added about finding a child for Yuan Bao to care for him in old age...

Once the book was noted down, Gu Changsheng turned and went to the side room, where a coffin was permanently placed as in the past. Wherever she goes, it goes!

Gu Changsheng still remembered when she had the people at the inn carry this coffin inside, their puzzled looks, and how they kept murmuring that this wealthy woman must be a fool to share a room with a coffin!

To this, Gu Changsheng said nothing.

Yes, she was rich!

Not only was she rich, but she also wielded power and influence over the world. But what did that matter? She couldn’t even save her own parents!

Money and power are truly things you can’t take with you when you die. Just like her parents, who sacrificed so much for their unworthy daughter, and in the end, are left lying in this mottled coffin, in endless solitude!

”Dad, Mom, I remembered something today, it’s that I need to find a retirement guard of honor for Yuan Bao, that little eunuch, and I’ve noted it in the book so I won’t forget it later...” She reached out to stroke the mottled coffin, feeling the cold surface, yet with a faint smile on her face, ”Dad, do you remember Yuan Bao? That rotund little eunuch you and the Little Monk Bu Jie helped come back to life at the Southern Border. That Er Que would die to save me, so even in death, your daughter cannot let him live poorly...”

She finally recalled when she had developed the habit of noting things down!

It was after her dad died!

Gu Changsheng wasn’t someone unacquainted with life and death, but vaguely, she always felt that this journey wouldn’t turn out as ideally as she’d hope. Her dad, a Sword Saint in a previous life, well-versed in mysticism and fate, couldn’t escape the fate of lying in this coffin himself, so what about her? The daughter her parents poured all their efforts into protecting across two lifetimes?

Gu Changsheng knew she was now very strong, with prowess beyond the Transformative Realm, as the Southern Emperor, commanding millions of troops and wielding power across the realm. Yet, for some reason, after losing her dad, Gu Changsheng felt a sense of confusion as if everything was like the moon in the water, or a flower in the mirror...

This feeling left Gu Changsheng very uneasy, she was never one to worry unnecessarily, but she trusted her intuition and vaguely felt that something bad was waiting for her!

Therefore, she subconsciously prepared for the worst!

She even arranged futures for her little ones, for everyone around her, and prepared thoroughly for the Southern Country...

She didn’t know if what she was doing was right or wrong, but she just wanted to do it...

It seemed that only by doing so could she feel at ease, without regrets...

”Thinking aimlessly again?”

When Zhou Mu walked in, he glanced at the small booklet open on the table, then turned and saw his little woman standing in the side room, dazed at the coffin, and walked in, clasped his hands toward the coffin, and spoke softly.

”No, just thought of something, thought we hadn’t found a partner for Yuan Bao, so hurried to jot it down!” Gu Changsheng saw Zhou Mu walked in, turned back, and smiled faintly.

”Hehe...” Zhou Mu chuckled softly, raised his hand to tweak her nose, ”You are thinking far ahead, if Yuan Bao knew, he would surely be moved to tears!”

Gu Changsheng upon hearing this, imagined the round and jade-like Yuan Bao bawling and couldn’t help but let out a smile.

”You’ve detailed every aspect of preparations for afterlife matters, yet chatter daily with your in-laws, aren’t you afraid they’ll be worried under the spring if they knew?” Zhou Mu playfully ruffled Gu Changsheng’s hair with a face full of affection.

”If they are worried, then bless me to find a way to resurrect them, so I can die without regrets!” Gu Changsheng’s expression darkened upon hearing this, quietly said, then tugged at Zhou Mu’s sleeve, speaking even more softly, ”Evildoer, I trust my intuition, my intuition is very bad...”

Gu Changsheng couldn’t precisely articulate it, but she just felt that something was wrong!

It seems it all started when she inexplicably attracted the Nine-Layer Godslaying Heavenly Punishment and since her father’s mysterious death, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt that although she wielded power and exceptional martial arts, some things were inevitably beyond her expectations, out of her predictions...

Even more so, perhaps even her father, with his profound knowledge across ages and deep understanding of mysticism, did not foresee...

Otherwise, why would he leave his beloved daughter, why would he even abandon the obsession to resurrect his beloved wife?

Her dad, though he kept a low profile, Gu Changsheng knew, if he truly was incapable, he couldn’t possibly have reversed her premature death’s fate and aided her rebirth in this world!

However, even her dad, who accomplished the destiny-defying task, lay in this very coffin!

So, what is there in this world that rendered someone as immensely gifted as her dad so helpless to the point he would willingly embrace death?
