Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 1396 - 1049: The Arena Is Set!
So, this day passed in a flurry of chaos and boredom!
Until nightfall, Gu Changsheng still hadn’t seen any of the three family members she wanted to see, not even one!
Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but suspect that, actually, they were avoiding her, right?
For heaven’s sake, now because of a little slip, she had become like a plague, causing people to keep their distance, and this feeling of being shunned was indeed incredibly lonely!
Not only her own dad, but even the evildoer and Little Monk Bu Jie were avoiding her, and even the little rascal who always liked to hang around her wasn’t showing up, making Gu Changsheng suddenly feel life was very lonely, indescribably desolate! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
However, Gu Changsheng thought, even if her own dad and the rest didn’t want to see her, she couldn’t lower her dignity by standing at their door like a pillar, and as for her little rascal, hmph, that mischievous brat who gets on her nerves, maybe letting him be for a bit will teach him a lesson!
The next day, Gu Changsheng woke up again, stood in front of the window doing stretch exercises, and she had to admit, the North gave people a distinctly different feeling from the South, with its fresh and cool air, giving a sense of expansiveness and openness!
She glanced down inadvertently, and with just one look, her phoenix eyes suddenly tightened!
She had to admit, the arrangement of Gu Changsheng’s bedroom in the slanted building of the City Lord’s Mansion was excellent; the outer building of the City Lord’s Mansion was towering, and her bedroom was coincidentally on the upper floor of that slanted building, offering an exceptionally broad view, so much so that one could almost gaze upon the entire Linyuan City, and what shocked her was not the orderly layout of Linyuan City, but rather the fact that outside the City Lord’s Mansion, on the spacious square, many people were busily and orderly engaged, and from her vantage point, she could clearly see the high platform being erected on the square and many busying themselves with expanding it...
This is...
The Nirvana Martial Contest!
Gu Changsheng suddenly remembered what Shi Wujue had said the day before yesterday!
Three days later, the Nirvana Martial Contest will be held in the square outside the City Lord’s Mansion!
With both hands on the window edge, Gu Changsheng looked at the bustling people below and the nascent platform, her phoenix eyes narrowed!
She wasn’t truly the successor of Medicine King Valley, so she wasn’t originally very concerned about the actions of the Hidden World Clan and the Nirvana Martial Contest, but now the situation was a bit different!
The First prize for the Nirvana Martial Contest is the Spiritual Treasure from the Treasure Pavilion of the Hidden World Clan, one that leads to the Conquest Realm!
This originally was something she had planned to win for her own evildoer, but now, Gu Changsheng was determined to obtain it!
Three days later would be tomorrow, right?
Tomorrow, the Nirvana Martial Contest, where the young generation of the Hidden World Clan competes for the entry quota into the world, is going to take place!
"Dugu Jieao, in the battle of Licheng City, you could be considered to have lost with honor, but you dared to spread such rumors in Linyuan City, tarnishing my reputation, just wait! I’ll show you!" Gu Changsheng said with a resolute and confident tone, a hint of Ling Xi’s smirk on her lips, then turned and instructed the Palace Maid behind her, "Go, summon Diao Chan for me!"
"Yes!" The Palace Maid acknowledged, bowed, and retreated.
Not long after, Diao Chan came limping in, with her face bandaged, and greeted a bit awkwardly, "Your subordinate greets the lord, may the lord’s beauty last a thousand autumns!"
Gu Changsheng turned around, saw Diao Chan wrapped up like a panda, and her mouth twitched, she couldn’t help but click her tongue and said, "Why are you wrapped up like this bear?"
Even if she was angered by Diao Chan, she knew how much force to exert. She thought causing Diao Chan some muscular pain for the night was necessary, but this kind of devastating aftermath was entirely unexpected!
"Hehe... It was Yhan Ting who bandaged me like this! He said that wrapping it this way, you would feel quite accomplished!" Diao Chan replied with a smile.
As she laughed, the bandages on her face tightened, causing her mouth to twist in pain.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately exploded, "Feel accomplished? Accomplished my foot!"
This is just a set-up!
He clearly wanted to pin a charge of abusing subordinates on her! Making her look like some kind of tyrant!
Yhan Ting!
Well done!
Is everyone just bored stiff?
Instead of properly being the Law Enforcement Hall Master, he insisted on moonlighting as a military doctor, and then out of the blue, he sniped at her from behind!
What kind of untrustworthy subordinates has she raised?
These damn Bear People even dare to have ideas about Xiao Cui!
They’re just like toads wanting to eat swan meat, no way! She’s the first to disagree!
"Fine! You guys are something! You’ve got guts! Diao Chan, make sure you pass on a message to Yhan Ting later, tell her to stay away from my Xiao Cui, if she dares to buzz around Xiao Cui like a fly again, I’ll beat her up every time I see her, until she’s wrapped up like you!" Pointing at Diao Chan, Gu Changsheng said, bursting with anger.
"Tsk tsk...how tragic!" Diao Chan said with a look of pity upon hearing this.
"What, you feel sorry for him?" Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes.
"No way? General, don’t accuse me! I’m gloating, just not showing it clearly!" Diao Chan declared earnestly after hearing this.
"Hmph!" Gu Changsheng snorted coldly, waving her hand at Diao Chan with a hint of helplessness, "I can’t be bothered talking to you guys! If you want to wrap yourself up like a rice dumpling, go ahead! But right now, I’ve got something I need you to do!"
"General, just give the order, I am willing to brave any danger for you..."
"Even if I threw you into the fire, you’d still not turn into roast suckling pig, such a waste! You talk like it’s serious business!" Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes, then dropped the joking expression, pointed out the window and said, "Do you see? The arena for the Hidden World Clan’s Nirvana Martial Contest is almost set up! Tomorrow is the start of the Nirvana Martial Contest! Xiao Cui and Han Qiu have just arrived in Linyuan City; they’re unfamiliar with the place, they might have difficulties moving around, but you arrived much earlier, so you’re naturally more familiar with it. I want you to find out which young members of the hidden families are going to participate in the Nirvana Martial Contest, who stands out, which family or faction they come from, and whether they’re friends with Medicine King Valley or enemies!"
Hearing this, Diao Chan’s rough face showed a hint of difficulty. After thinking for a while, he solemnly said, "General, the Hidden World Clan has been hidden for so long, and there is very little known about them to outsiders. I’m afraid it’s not going to be easy to inquire about them..."
"Hmm! I know this too! Normally, trying to gather internal information about the hidden families is as difficult as ascending to the heavens, but right now it’s not necessarily so! The Nirvana Martial Contest is a chance for the young members of the Hidden World Clan to come out into the world. Plus, the rewards for this contest are incredibly rich, even those born into the hidden clans would flock to it, fighting until they’re bloodied!"
"Diao Chan, wherever there’s competition, there are conflicts and opportunities to take advantage of! If the Hidden World Clan continues to stay hidden that’s fine, but since they’re showing signs of coming out, we have to be prepared! After all, those eight families are formidable and cannot be underestimated! Whether it’s to ensure victory in the Nirvana Martial Contest or for preemptive measures, we must be well-prepared!"
Upon hearing this, Diao Chan’s rugged face became more serious, disregarding the comical sight of himself wrapped up like a rice dumpling, he kneeled on one knee and solemnly responded, "I will obey! I will lead my informants to gather all information on the Hidden World Clan and will not fail you!"
After hearing this, Gu Changsheng nodded but couldn’t help but advise, "Tell the people below to be careful and cautious. The people of the Hidden World Clan are all arrogant, none of them are easy to deal with. Gathering information is secondary, but do not get caught by them! If you do get caught, reveal your identity as a subordinate of Medicine King Valley’s successor!"
The identity of Medicine King Valley’s successor is actually quite useful, at least the other seven hidden families will give some face!
Of course, Gu Changsheng doesn’t flatter herself thinking that the seven hidden families are giving face to her, the unseen successor; what they’re giving face to is the Medical Immortal Old Man!
But as long as the goal can be achieved, Gu Changsheng doesn’t care whose face they’re giving!
"I will remember! I take my leave!" Diao Chan replied and bowed before retreating.
Gu Changsheng looked at the arena below again, before turning and leaving the room, heading towards the City Lord’s Mansion’s martial arts training ground, led by the Palace Maid.
With the Nirvana Martial Contest imminent, she can’t keep lazing around anymore!
Tomorrow, tomorrow marks the start of the Nirvana Martial Contest, and because she almost died some time ago, she’s already at a disadvantage at the starting line, now she can only train at the last minute!
As the saying goes, even last-minute training can be useful if done well!
For example, Gu Changsheng knows that in terms of Inner Strength, Ancient Martial Arts, she can overpower most average experts, but if faced with extraordinary talents like Dugu Jieao and Shi Wujue, she can only be cannon fodder, so Gu Changsheng insists on walking her own path!
She needs speed!
Even faster speed!
Speed that breaks the physical limits of the human body!
Speed that transcends herself!
Only speed is unbreakable, only speed is invincible!
She’s going to master the style-less techniques from her previous life to perfection!
From sunrise to sunset, Gu Changsheng’s figure on the vast martial arts training ground was like a phantom; her speed made it hard for others to see her clearly. Drenched in sweat, Gu Changsheng trained until she was thoroughly satisfied, and finally stopped her swift steps, turning to look at the Little Palace Maid who appeared at the edge of the training ground.
"What’s the matter?"
The wind from her fast pace lifted the Little Palace Maid’s dress and messed up her hair, making her quite anxious. Seeing Gu Changsheng ask, the Little Palace Maid quickly composed herself and bowed, "Reporting to the Southern Emperor, someone from the Hidden World Clan has come to visit..."
