Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Gu Changsheng never imagined that he would hear such a sentence!

And what’s more, this sentence came out of Shi Wujue’s mouth!

Why me?

I want release...

Release...

Gu Changsheng clearly remembered the resentful look of Shi Wujue in the Star Innate Tower, clearly remembered Gu Changsheng’s pale face, with its stubborn expression...

Shi Wujue was such a proud person, wildly unrestrained, yet at this moment, he actually said, why save him, he wanted release!

”Bang!”

Almost at the moment Shi Wujue’s words landed, Black Man Duo Shu fell to his knees with a defeated expression!

The loud sound of him kneeling startled the three people in the room!

”Master!”

A heart-wrenching low growl came from Duo Shu’s mouth, as he looked at his master, his face full of a sorrowful look!

Death, for others might mean release, but for his master, it is...

Infamy!

Endless infamy!

Infamy of failing the Ancient Country He Clan’s expectations!

Infamy of ending the lives of Ancient Country He Clan’s people!

Among those present, no one knew better than Duo Shu how utterly desperate his master felt to say such words, how much pressure he was under, yet Duo Shu knew, his life’s mission, was to protect the Shi Clan, to safeguard the bloodline continuity of the Ancient Country He Clan!

The pressure of generations, the lives and expectations of the He Clan, all the destiny, everything was weighing upon his master’s shoulders, his master was the most burdened, the most weighed down person in the world...

And his master fell in love with Gu Changsheng, a woman he absolutely should not have loved...

”Master...”

”Bang!”

Duo Shu was not a man of many words, all he could do was to call out in pain and bow his head, creating a crisp, heart-shaking sound...

”Shi Wujue... What did you say? What did you just say?” In Duo Shu’s continuous bowing, Gu Changsheng woke up with disbelief, looking at Shi Wujue with a face of surprise and uncertainty, as if the man lying there was completely foreign...

Was this the lonely man with peerless charm she knew?

The Shi Wujue she knew, how could he say such words?

How could he... seek death?

Impossible!

It must be impossible!

What happened? What happened that made her heart, the heart of the man wilder and more arrogant than herself, want death to seek a release?

What happened?

In that single moment, Gu Changsheng felt an impulse to overturn Smelting City to seek an answer!

But she couldn’t!

Seeing the long white hair scattered on the pillow, seeing Shi Wujue’s pale face, Gu Changsheng knew she couldn’t!

She couldn’t!

She had to guard this man, let him come back from the despairing loneliness of seeking death! Come back and live!

”Why save me? Why? To me, death is a luxury, why not even give me the chance to choose death? Why? Why?”

Shi Wujue’s elongated eyes stared blankly at the ceiling, muttering...

Fufeng Tianlan’s words continuously echoed and resounded in his mind...

Imperial Brother, you and Gu Changsheng are destined to be enemies...

Destined to be enemies!

Destined...

To be enemies!

But why?

Why are he and Gu Changsheng destined to be enemies?

With the woman he was moved by and fell in love with, destined to be enemies?

Destined?

Who decided this fate?

Why?

Why him, specifically him, having to face such a destiny?

Why?

Who can tell him why?

He just wanted to live, or die, and in life, love someone, in death, think of someone, why is even such a tiny hope for him so difficult?

Why?

”Master, have you forgotten who you are? Have you forgotten how many eyes are watching you from behind?” Duo Shu kept kowtowing, his forehead rapidly turning bright red, and his face, already pale from blood loss, turned even paler as he desperately whispered, ”Master, think of your ancestors who have passed, think of our clan’s countless youthful graves; Master, think of our lives, all resting on your shoulders, our clan’s future waiting for you to lead. Master, you must be alright, you absolutely mustn’t have any trouble...”

This was all that Duo Shu could say, dared to say!

While saying these words, Duo Shu’s heart was filled with hatred!

He didn’t understand why his master had become like this. Was it Fufeng Tianlan?

That woman with ambitions greater than heaven and a life as fragile as paper, what has she done to his master?

At this moment, Duo Shu regretted immensely, regretting how he had ever cooperated with that woman, Fufeng Tianlan. How could she possibly have been good for his master? How could she possibly have been good for their Ancient Country?

The woman whose eyes have been blinded by hatred, with nothing in her heart except the twisted obsession for revenge!

She could hurt anyone, use anyone!

What has she done to his master? What has she done?

”Can’t be in trouble... Can’t die... Why must I be the one who cannot afford to die?” Shi Wujue heard Duo Shu’s words, his eyes slowly closing...

Cannot die!

Even if his heart is like dead ashes and his form like mourning garb, he cannot die!

He is a descendant of the Ancient Country, the only hope of the Shi Family, the sole reliance of the Ancient Country clansmen. He cannot die, and... cannot afford to die!

”Southern Emperor! Southern Emperor, I beg you, I beg you, help my master, help my master. He mustn’t have any trouble; he absolutely mustn’t have trouble. Only you can save him now, only you can!” Duo Shu watched Shi Wujue’s eyes slowly close, his heart sank instantly to the bottom of a valley, and he crawled forward two steps, grabbing Gu Changsheng’s skirt.

Though Duo Shu was a servant, he was Shi Wujue’s servant, holding an extraordinary position in the Ancient Country, with outstanding strength on this continent!

Someone as proud as him, under normal circumstances, would never kneel to anyone.

Yet at this moment, he cared less about all of that; neither face nor dignity could compare to the importance of his master!

Duo Shu knew that in his master’s heart, the most important person was this woman right in front of him!

Though this woman was originally never supposed to be someone his master cared about!

But facts are stubborn things, and everything is ultimately not moving in the trajectory planned by his master...

”...” Gu Changsheng lowered her head, looking at Duo Shu kneeling at her feet, her bright little face slightly changed...

At this moment, she didn’t know what kind of expression to face with Duo Shu’s pleading eyes...

Why did Duo Shu beg her? Gu Changsheng understood better than anyone...

Though she didn’t know why Shi Wujue became like this, what stimulus had he endured, she knew Duo Shu begged her because she was truly very important in Shi Wujue’s heart! Very important!

Yet this significance, Gu Changsheng couldn’t pretend to understand and ignore...

To Shi Wujue, she was important because of his affection...

While she, beside her...

Already had Zhou Mu!

To promise?

A promise insincere in words, an empty commitment, besides that, what else could she offer Shi Wujue?

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but turn her head, looking at Zhou Mu standing beside her...

One is the man she loves, supporting each other, never leaving...

One is the man who loves her, having gratitude and righteousness, helping greatly...

How should she act, to satisfy both?

Once, Gu Changsheng least wanted to face this subject, but now, it once again stood in front of her...

This is not a choice; this is forcing her to provide an answer...

Love or not love, promise or not promise, compared to Shi Wujue’s life, which one is more important?

Gu Changsheng didn’t know, she only knew she didn’t want to watch Shi Wujue continue this way because she knew, if this keeps going, what’s waiting for him is only death!

Only a death burdened with all the guilt!

Zhou Mu’s penetrating eyes shifted from Shi Wujue’s pale face to Gu Changsheng...

Their eyes met, and a hint of guilt flashed in Gu Changsheng’s eyes...

She once promised him, a lifetime together, never leaving until old age...

Yet now, between this couple, unexpectedly there was an extra Shi Wujue!

Zhou Mu accomplished everything he had once pledged to her, whereas she was about to betray the promise of staying together she had once made...

Watching Zhou Mu slightly nodding to her, although Zhou Mu’s movement was very subtle, Gu Changsheng saw it clearly and distinctly...

He wouldn’t stop her!

Her man, her Zhou Mu, would never put her in a difficult position, nor force her to do anything against her will, but this time...

This time, whether acting or not acting, it was not what Gu Changsheng hoped for!

Not the same as hoped!

”Southern Emperor, I beg you! On behalf of my He Clan people, I beg you! You are so kind-hearted, you surely wouldn’t want to see the mourning and corpses everywhere, Southern Emperor, if my master dies, our fate is also ended, and the millennium’s truth we He Clan pursued will never see the light of day again, Southern Emperor, I beg you, even if just to prevent my master from becoming a historical criminal! I beg you! I implore you!”

Duo Shu never imagined that one day, he would humbly beg for a woman’s assistance, but at this moment, looking at his nearly lifeless master, he was already powerless!

He seemed to be able to see the utter despair in the silence after his master breathes his last, seemed to see boundless Sand Sea, corpses everywhere; he seemed to see their Ancient Country people, all turned to bones, under the devouring of sand lice, eternally buried beneath the sand’s desolation...
