Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Just when Duo Shu’s eyes were filled with a sinister hatred and he wished to find Fufeng Tianlan to fight to the death in the next instant, Shi Wujue’s low mumbling sounded once more...

This time, Shi Wujue’s voice no longer carried the lifelessness it did earlier...

Instead, it was filled with confusion... and unwillingness!

”Duo Shu, I am unwilling! Just like my ancestors, I am unwilling! Ordinary families live through their life experiencing death, poverty, and wealth, but they have the life of ordinary people! But our Shi Family? I was born into the Emperor’s Clan, naturally gifted with the Power of Moon Calling, seemingly favored by the heavens. Yet, in my Shi Family, from generation to generation, who can live like ordinary people?”

”We can’t even pass on our descendants; it’s defying the heavens. While giving birth to our offspring, we also lose our loved ones. We must watch as our clan members die inexplicably during their prime, witness desolate graves everywhere, see bones stretching for miles... We were born human but live lives not quite human nor wolf...”

At this point, Shi Wujue laughed desolately, ”Hehe... People from the Central Plains say we of the Sand Sea are the Clan of God Favor and can transform into wolves with supreme abilities. But how do they know the bitterness of our existence? We are human, so why do we turn into wolves? Why do we involuntarily howl at the moon on full moon nights? Why don’t we live until our hair grows white? Why? What is the reason behind all this?”

”Our ancestors were devout believers. We worshipped the Deity, served the Deity. We never committed acts intolerable by Heaven. So why did we become like this? When did everything start to change, and why?”

With Shi Wujue’s words, Duo Shu slowly kneeled, eventually resting both knees on the ground and bowing his head...

Everything that his master said was also a mystery to their Ancient Country He Clan!

What is the reason behind all this?

Every event has a cause, but they endured this fate without ever receiving a reason!

Without a cause, with no explanations, it seems overnight the history of their Ancient Country was altered, everything changed into what it is now...

No one could give them an answer, and across generations, they couldn’t find one...

In the records of their Ancient Country, the only thing that could unlock all their answers is the sealed Divine Demise Land, locked since the beginning of The Post-Ancient Era, accessible only to the one born as contrary to destiny...

That one is... Gu Changsheng!

It seems everything destined originates from the fate of their He Clan...

”So, Duo Shu, I must live. People from the Central Plains have a saying: ’One who ties the knot must untie it.’ If everything I endure now stems from destiny, if this is fated, I must know where these fates originate; otherwise, I won’t rest even in death!”

”I want to know why, from birth, I was destined to stand opposed to her, to become enemies, destined for no end...”

If everything is fate, is destined, then even in the very end, if I must face Gu Changsheng with swords drawn, at the very least, I must know before dying the reason behind it all, understand what it’s all about...

At this moment, Shi Wujue has somewhat accepted fate...

He no longer has the strength to defy destiny; his past ambitions were all exhausted in this love that shouldn’t exist...

He longs for a reason!

Longs to chase an outcome!

He doesn’t wish for reversal, just to die understanding!

”Master...” Hearing his master’s words, Duo Shu’s voice became somewhat choked.

For her sake?

Again, for her sake?

He truly doesn’t understand how this matter can make someone desire life or death.

The moment before, his master had no desire to live, but now, once again, hope rises!

In the end, there is some pursuit, isn’t there?

Otherwise, why live so bitterly?

Thinking of this, Duo Shu wished he could slap himself!

His master must live, must stay alive, otherwise their Ancient Country would truly end!

The reason his master needs to live is understood only by himself, yet he is alive, isn’t he?

”I am tired, rest for a while...”

With trembling long lashes, narrow eyes slowly close. Shi Wujue exhales a long breath and softly speaks.

By his side was only Duo Shu, and throughout this time, it was Duo Shu’s own blood sustaining Shi Wujue’s vitality. Duo Shu grew up with Shi Wujue, and Shi Wujue knows that he has his own motives, whether to avenge his brother Duo Ao or to seek power, these are understandable!

After all, among the Ancient Country, Duo Shu is second only to Shi Wujue and who Shi Wujue wishes to cultivate as the future heir of the Ancient Country. Shi Wujue allows him to have motives because he knows Duo Shu’s loyalty is absolute, unmatched by anyone!

Thus, even if Duo Shu and Fufeng Tianlan secretly had a transaction to put Gu Changsheng in a deadly plight, even if later he wanted to eliminate Zhou Mu, his rival in love, Shi Wujue endured and did not act against him...

Shi Wujue lived too lonely...

So lonely that in doing anything, he was never free, always burdened with the fate of the Ancient Country and the mission of the Shi Family. He needed someone absolutely loyal to him, someone who understood him, who, when he was reprimanded by the He Clan, knew of his heartache and sorrow, even if they couldn’t do anything for him...

”Master, please rest for a bit; I will guard here and not go anywhere!” Upon hearing this, Duo Shu immediately climbed up from the ground, pulled the brocade quilts higher over Shi Wujue, and sat comfortably at the bedside...

Shi Wujue didn’t open his eyes, allowing him to do so...

The room fell silent again.

When Gu Changsheng returned with the medicine bowl, Yuan Bao was following him, carrying a small stove in his hand.

As if knowing Shi Wujue was resting, Gu Changsheng signaled Yuan Bao to warm the medicine on the stove, quietly watched Shi Wujue for a while, and didn’t speak...

This time, he was truly asleep.

Not feigning sleep.

Gu Changsheng’s heart suddenly settled.

Shi Wujue is fine, that feeling is truly wonderful...

When walking out of the room again, Gu Changsheng looked at the sun hanging high outside, at the clear sky, and couldn’t help but take a deep breath...

This feeling of impending separation and loss is really not good.

Gu Changsheng really disliked it...

”How is it? Did you find any clues?” Seeing Zhou Mu walking from the courtyard outside, Gu Changsheng turned his head and softly asked.

While she was brewing medicine for Shi Wujue, Zhou Mu had left. Gu Changsheng didn’t need to ask to know the reason for her evildoer’s departure.

He went to find out the reason why Shi Wujue became despairing and seeking death!

This was also what Gu Changsheng was concerned about!

She didn’t understand why just dealing with Elder Jin a bit in the Mercenary Alliance Main Tower, sighing a few times, upon coming out, everything seemed different?

What exactly happened? What did Shi Wujue encounter? What kind of blow did he suffer?

”Didn’t discover anything. You know the level of Shi Wujue’s cultivation; if he wants to conceal himself, in this Smelting City, how many can trace his tracks?” Faced with Gu Changsheng’s question, Zhou Mu sighed, slowly shaking his head.

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu both knew Shi Wujue’s ability. Any matter causing Shi Wujue such impact must be something he doesn’t want people to know. Otherwise, no one in the entire Mercenary Alliance would fail to notice something amiss!

Looking across this Mercenary Alliance, even more in this Smelting City, in this world, those who can match Shi Wujue are probably only Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu themselves!

Therefore, this matter naturally just ended up in a deadlock.

Because, the two who can match Shi Wujue are coincidentally the ones kept in the dark.

”What about the three people with veiled hats brought by Jin Luoyi?” Gu Changsheng asked with a hint of disappointment on her face, pondered for a moment, and continued asking.

”Hmm?” Zhou Mu’s eyes, deep as a Cold Pool, flashed with surprise. ”You think there’s something unusual about them?”

Gu Changsheng shook her head, her bright face frowning, ”No, it’s just my intuition...”

Gu Changsheng vividly remembered that each time she encountered the three people with veiled hats, she always felt a chilling sensation of being watched. But each time she turned around, it was as if nothing had happened.

This made Gu Changsheng uncertain, but this feeling was too clear, making it impossible for her to ignore.

”Everything seems normal with them; since Elder Jin had trouble, Jin Luoyi lost his support in the Mercenary Alliance and could only post job orders to enter Divine Mount Qilian.” Zhou Mu said noncommittally, still revealing their whereabouts. ”Those three are with him; they seem to be guests or assistants he’s invited.”

”Jin Luoyi wants to enter the mountain? And has posted job orders?” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s Phoenix Eyes narrowed slightly.

”Yes.” Zhou Mu nodded.

”Alright!” Gu Changsheng pondered for a moment, responded, but in the next moment, felt a sudden dizziness and was held in Zhou Mu’s arms!

”I told you already, a Divine Soul Injury is no small matter; your emotions shouldn’t fluctuate greatly...” Looking at the small, pale-faced woman in his arms, Zhou Mu’s eyes were full of concern, unwillingly spoke, but halfway through, he sighed.

”With such matters, how could I stabilize my emotions? Shi Wujue is alright. If anything happened to him...”
