Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 1284 - 946: Who Should Use the Beauty-preserving Pearl?
Godfather!
Although she’s someone with a rough fate, although she’s an optimist who can face this unfortunate life!
However, Gu Changsheng guarantees that her Monk Tang’s destiny definitely does not include her own evildoer cheating!
This is just too shocking!
Could it be that Heavenly Father is jealous because she has a handsome man by her side? That He created a mistress or two for her?
No way!
She doesn’t want to be the Spicy Hand Flower Destroyer!
It’s absolutely impossible for her to give up her own evildoer, so she can only become the Spicy Hand Flower Destroyer; thinking about it makes it even more tragic!
"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Mu frowned slightly, looking at the little woman beside him, who looked utterly dejected, his face darkened a bit.
"What do you think I’m thinking about? I’m thinking about how my Monk Tang’s destiny has ascended again! I don’t know the difficulties ahead, and this romance is not smooth either. It’s time for me to burn incense and worship, to clutch Buddha’s feet in a hurry!" Gu Changsheng said, pouting, with a look of wanting to cry but having no tears.
Hearing this, Zhou Mu’s lips couldn’t help but twitch, almost ruining his image by bursting out in laughter. He finally suppressed his amusement and looked at the woman beside him, saying softly, "Did I not say, I want the Beauty-preserving Pearl! I do!"
"Huh?" Gu Changsheng responded blankly, looking at her own evildoer with a puzzled expression, and said with a hint of grievance, "I know, haven’t you already placed a bid? If you don’t want it, then who will? If you place a bid and then don’t want it, Wang Buer will cry..."
"What I mean is, I want it! I want to use it myself!" Zhou Mu shook his head at her words and dropped such a shocking remark.
Gu Changsheng felt as if a thunderbolt struck her inside and out at those words!
Godfather!
What did she just hear?
Did her own evildoer say he wants the Beauty-preserving Pearl, not in the way she thought, but really wants it for himself? He wants to use it!
Axi! Is there anything more shocking than this?
"You... what do you need the Beauty-preserving Pearl for? You’re a big man and you’re thinking of preserving your youth?" The face half-hidden under Gu Changsheng’s mask was shocked, incredulous...
How could she have known her own evildoer for so long and not realized he was so vain?
Thinking of her own evildoer’s appearance like that of an Exiled Immortal, Gu Changsheng’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch...
He’s already devastatingly handsome, and now he wants to use the Beauty-preserving Pearl — how many virtuous women does he intend to ruin?
If her own evildoer uses the Beauty-preserving Pearl, how will the men of the world survive?
There were hardly any more handsome than him, and now they’ll age faster!
Axi!
If Gu Changsheng were a man, knowing her own evildoer’s idea, she might as well have committed suicide on the spot!
This is simply not letting people live well!
Zhou Mu heard Gu Changsheng’s question, his profound eyes glanced at her lightly, giving Gu Changsheng a little chill before his vermillion lips slightly opened and he spoke, "You don’t need the Beauty-preserving Pearl; as you’ve grown up like this, you’re already attracting enough trouble for me."
Hearing this, anger flashed in Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes, "Damn it, if I don’t need it, do you think you do? You’re already wreaking enough havoc with your appearance!"
"I do need it!" Unexpectedly, as soon as Gu Changsheng’s voice fell, Zhou Mu nodded with certainty.
"You..." Gu Changsheng was stunned upon hearing this.
She never knew that her own evildoer could be so shameless!
How can he say such a thing that would make everyone want to commit suicide with such a straight face?
Bully!
This is obviously bullying!
"Alas!" As Gu Changsheng was pointing at Zhou Mu, speechless and overwhelmed with emotion, Zhou Mu sighed long and low, "Who asked that the woman I care about be someone who loves beauties? I was originally indifferent to my own looks, but now, I’m quite concerned!"
Gu Changsheng: "..."
And immediately, she felt bleak in the autumn wind...
So this is somehow her fault?
This blame, she seems no choice but to accept... 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Gu Changsheng suddenly felt a delusion of wanting to go mad, either herself or her own evildoer!
Her own evildoer, like an Exiled Immortal, intends to become a beauty just because she loves beauties!
So shocking!
It’s killing the baby!
Just as Gu Changsheng was thunderstruck and bewildered, onstage, Shuang Jiang finally regained some composure from shock and fear, as if the exquisite creature was so scared that even her graceful body became a bit stiff, as she looked down at her own son-in-law and, after twitching her mouth several times, gathered the courage to speak timidly, "That... dear guest... do you really want to auction this Beauty-preserving Pearl?"
"Indeed." Zhou Mu heard the words, stopped paying attention to his own silly woman, and nodded resolutely.
"Two hundred thousand taels?" Shuang Jiang held up two fingers again, incredulous, and asked, "You’re not joking?"
Son-in-law!
"Say quickly, it was all a joke!"
"This decision of yours, we’re losing sixty to seventy thousand for no reason!"
"This is like throwing money down the drain without even hearing a splash!"
"No!" To outsiders, Zhou Mu has always been sparing with words.
Upon hearing this, Shuang Jiang almost burst into tears.
Under the incredulous gazes of everyone around, as if making a huge decision, she opened her mouth and said, "Well... dear guest, actually, although the Beauty-preserving Pearl is rare, its market price is just about 130,000 taels at best. Would... would you like to reconsider?"
The other participants sitting below, upon hearing Shuang Jiang’s words, were instantly stunned!
Godfather!
An auctioneer advising a bidder, bluntly saying that they’ve overpaid...
Is this really okay?
Why did they feel so disoriented?
The undercover pawns hidden among the bidders, upon hearing Shuang Jiang’s words, immediately bowed their heads and covered their faces!
Godfather!
They’re too ashamed to face anyone!
This auction has completely changed tone!
How could they possibly salvage this situation?
They’re worried to death!
They suddenly felt their hearts aching!
In a room behind the auction, Wang Buer, who had been monitoring the auction’s progress, was pleased to see the Beauty-preserving Pearl reaching 150,000 taels, but suddenly, upon hearing someone bid 200,000 taels, though the price went even higher, he couldn’t be happy at all and wanted to cry!
"Son-in-law! What’s the son-in-law doing here joining the fray? Raising the price like this... is he just burning money?" Wang Buer, leaning against the window, leapt up in frustration.
"Stay calm, the son-in-law must have his reasons for wanting the Beauty-preserving Pearl." Dugu Jieao, who came with his troops and hadn’t left, tried to placate him.
"Reasons? What use could the son-in-law have for it? For the master? The master’s already as beautiful as a painting, why bother with such a thing?" Upon hearing this, Wang Buer retorted immediately, unknowingly fiddling with an abacus in his hands, his face a mix of tears and frustration, "Seventy thousand taels! Just like that, seventy thousand taels are gone! If the son-in-law wanted the Beauty-preserving Pearl, he could’ve given us a heads up! Why bear the loss ourselves? You know how much commission we’ll get from this auction? At most, just a million taels, for so much effort, detailed setup... with this, we lost seventy thousand taels! Godfather! My silver! What on earth is the son-in-law doing?"
"The son-in-law can certainly afford to pay!" Yan Qingcheng responded calmly.
Hearing this, Wang Buer glared at him indignantly.
Yan Qingcheng thought of something, his face turning slightly embarrassed, and cleared his throat, "Don’t worry, if it were the master, she might not pay, leaving us at a loss, but the son-in-law... the son-in-law doesn’t seem like that kind of person. Don’t worry!"
Wang Buer, hearing this, breathed a sigh of relief, patting his chest, "Makes sense, the son-in-law would never do such a thing. Luckily, it was the son-in-law who ended up with the Beauty-preserving Pearl, otherwise we really wouldn’t know where to cry!"
Meanwhile, on the auction floor, despite Shuang Jiang’s repeated reminders, Zhou Mu was resolute in his decision to purchase the Beauty-preserving Pearl.
Seeing this, Shuang Jiang felt helpless, biting the bullet, she banged the gong, finalizing the auction of the Beauty-preserving Pearl!
Watching the servant boy from the auction house walk over with a face full of despair and record Zhou Mu’s bid number, Gu Changsheng actually wanted to cry even more...
It was her fault!
This mess brought by her own evildoer was definitely her fault!
She had to bear this blame!
What Gu Changsheng resented the most was how to explain it to Wang Buer later?
She had never done anything so foolish as to lose money for her own family, so she really didn’t know how to explain this...
All in all, she shouldn’t tell the truth, it would just be entertainment for everyone!
She refused to be a laughingstock!
Even if she were beaten to death, she wouldn’t!
With a face full of grievance, Gu Changsheng looked at Zhou Mu’s calm expression. The atmosphere felt incredibly odd...
The auction had just started, and a single Beauty-preserving Pearl had been foolishly and expensively bid for by their own people, making it hard for the always composed and resourceful Shuang Jiang to accept. Thus, she banged the gong for an intermission!
This intermission came way too early!
Clearly, only one item had been auctioned, and there was an intermission already!
This left everyone’s presence bewildered.
"No wonder they’re from the Medicine King Valley, even the Liaodong Imperial Court gives them face, tearing down their own platform..."
"Indeed, it’s my first time seeing an auctioneer self-sabotage like this, auctioning one item and then calling for an intermission!"
"With them being heirs of the Medicine King Valley, everyone’s bound to need them for something eventually; better not burn bridges!"
"I’ve decided, I’ll abandon martial arts and take up medicine, being a doctor is truly advantageous!"
"..."
During the intermission, those sitting nearby began whispering among themselves, trying to make sense of it all.
Meanwhile, inside the room, after some quick calculation, Wang Buer and the hastily returning Shuang Jiang made a firm decision and shouted out to the door...
