Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 1450 - 1097: Saving Face at All Costs!

The master of the house’s ability to offend people is truly something to behold, and Diao Chan is quite speechless about it!

You want her to investigate all the noble families that the master of the house has offended?

Diao Chan says this task really presents quite a challenge!

"Diao Chan! Are you not your tough gal self anymore? What’s with the cowardice? Show your tough gal spirit, I have faith in you!" Gu Changsheng heard Diao Chan’s words and immediately was displeased, glaring with Phoenix Eyes and speaking with boundless pride.

I don’t have faith in myself!

Diao Chan swallowed these words, lowered her head timidly, and could only withdraw to handle the matter!

Tough gal?

When did she become a tough gal?

At most, she might look a bit masculine, but inside, she’s still a kind and gentle lady!

Regarding the constant personal attacks from the house master, Diao Chan feels utterly defenseless!

The facts prove that Diao Chan’s ability to handle affairs is indeed reliable, because even before the night fell, she brought back the answer Gu Changsheng wanted. But this answer was a bit hard for Gu Changsheng to accept!

"Diao Chan, are you sure you didn’t get it wrong?" Gu Changsheng asked loudly while running on the martial arts training ground, turning his head to look at Diao Chan standing at the edge of the ground reporting back.

"Master, absolutely certain!" Diao Chan replied loudly and confidently upon hearing the words.

"Screw them!" Upon seeing this, Gu Changsheng immediately stopped running and spat out a veiled curse with a look of indignation!

A bunch of shameless people!

She thought there’d at least be a few good apples among the bad ones, but what happened?

The result was very disappointing, wasn’t it?

Among these Hidden World Clan members, there isn’t a single good person! They’re all shameless individuals! Of course, this only applies to those noble families she has offended!

Because, as it turns out, the rumors outside involve every single one of those families she’s offended!

Not a single one missing!

Despite their dignified appearances befitting of noble families, they all turned out to be wolves in sheep’s clothing!

Words like spreading rumors and fanning flames aren’t enough to describe what they did; those defeated Hidden World Clan members would go to any lengths to maintain their ridiculous dignity!

It’s one thing to spread rumors, but they even do it in front of the biggest witness—her!

She managed to take on half of the Hidden World Clan members purely with her own strength, right?

What does it have to do with Shi Wujue?

They insist on labeling her as a mature lady who successfully charmed Shi Wujue just to justify their defeats!

Really...

They’re shameless!

Gu Changsheng snorted coldly!

"Master, what should we do?" Seeing her master all riled up, Diao Chan immediately asked.

To be honest, Diao Chan is also very disdainful of the Hidden World Clan’s petty actions, but as a subordinate, she can’t show too much anticipation for her master’s fierce retaliation, given how much her master detests people enjoying the spectacle!

Usually, anyone daring to watch her master’s spectacle would end up staged in a play themselves; this has been personally validated countless times by those countless subordinates with her master!

But still, Diao Chan’s heart is full of anticipation!

Her master is not someone who ever suffers losses!

If you dare to plot against the master behind her back, tsk-tsk...

Those Hidden World Clan families, clean your necks up and wait for your turn! Such pitiful children!

"What to do? Forget it!" Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes theatrically and spoke with disdain, "They dare to act this way because they’re sure I can’t stand those rumors and will step out to clarify!"

"Yes, yes!" Diao Chan nodded her head vigorously on hearing this, "That’s totally it; anyone would find it unbearable!"

"What do you mean?" Gu Changsheng asked with a glare, raising her hand and smacking it on Diao Chan’s forehead!

Geez, Diao Chan’s taller than her, so she has to raise her hand to smack her—this doesn’t feel as satisfying as spanking her little meat bun!

Gu Changsheng withdrew her hand with a hint of dissatisfaction on her face and grumbled, "Do me a favor, next time when you know you deserve a smack, please bow your head!"

"Bow my head for what?" Covering the smacked forehead, Diao Chan asked in confusion.

"Bow your head so I can smack you more smoothly!" Gu Changsheng replied without hesitation.

Diao Chan: "..."

Talking with our master really is a brain-draining task. As someone with a strong body and simple mind like hers, she has never truly understood what her master intends!

And...

She’s actually pretty pitiful!

In theory, if she knew she deserved a beating, she’d be stupid to get herself into beatable situations, right? Why would she wait until the words are said and mistakes are made, and then offer her head for a beating?

Is she stupid?

"Dare say I’m not human? I’ll tell you, I’m perfectly fine with it!" Gu Changsheng looked at the clueless expression of Diao Chan, twitched her mouth, and said proudly, "Really think I’m an idiot? To stupidly go clarify? As they say, ’Three men make a tiger.’ This rumor is all over Linyuan City, if I step forward to explain now, it’s like drawing feet on a snake, superfluous. It will only make it worse, letting those ignorant folks believe it even more!"

"Huh? So what do we do? Just let them spread these rumors and do nothing?" Upon hearing this, Diao Chan widened her eyes, "Master, you might bear it, but this subordinate cannot!"

"What can you do if you can’t bear it? Gonna fight them?" Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes at Diao Chan’s sturdy figure and continued, "Diao Chan, I’m not belittling you, but with your size, against those elite youths of Hidden World Clan, you’re just a punching bag! While you do have skills in leading troops in battle, when it comes to personal prowess, you’re simply not in the same league!"

"But this subordinate has seen you beat them with ease, master!" Diao Chan blinked innocently and responded.

"Stop flattering yourself, can you compare to me?" Gu Changsheng was amused by Diao Chan’s idiocy.

"Uh..." Diao Chan’s expression froze.

This...

She really can’t compare to her master...

If her master wants to kick her, she definitely can’t dodge it!

Moreover, the outcome would be far worse than those elite youths who got kicked...

Comparisons can indeed be infuriating!

"Diao Chan! Though martial force can’t solve all problems, it is more than enough to deal with those who rely on rumors to save face! Just wait and see!" In Gu Changsheng’s Phoenix Eyes, a glint of steel flashed as she rubbed her fists together, looking ready for action.

Seeing this, Diao Chan immediately got excited!

She quietly moved a little closer to her master, and asked in a gossipy whisper, "Master, what are you planning? Are you going to secretly ambush them, beat them up, or sneak into their residence and spike their food with medicine? Master, just use a laxative, make them vomit and have diarrhea so they can’t get up for three days and nights..."

"Scram!" But before Diao Chan could finish her vulgar suggestion, Gu Changsheng kicked her and interrupted, speaking righteously, "Would someone as straightforward as me do something so despicable?"

Uh...

Upon hearing this, Diao Chan couldn’t help but twitch her mouth.

Truth be told, her master has done plenty of despicable things, indeed!

At the very least, the laxative has been used on their Dark Night Army numerous times, under the guise of cultivating their drug resistance!

However, the result was tragic!

Because, not only did they fail to develop drug resistance, but their waists became slimmer.

Then, her master had something else to say, claiming it was to relieve their bodies of burdens...

In reality, she was just playing them and saving food!

Humph!

"But, the despicable one’s ways are their ticket, I think it’s quite good! I will take up your suggestion!" Turning around, Gu Changsheng grinned wickedly and continued.

Diao Chan was stunned at this.

What does this mean?

What is her master actually going to do?

But no matter how much she asked, Gu Changsheng wouldn’t reveal her plans!

This left Diao Chan feeling like her heart was being clawed at by cats—itching unbearably, yet helpless!

Today is the first day of the Nirvana Martial Contest. After Gu Changsheng’s commotion, the originally eye-catching contest became even more so!

With someone as attention-grabbing as Gu Changsheng around, the opening ceremony of the Nirvana Martial Contest felt somewhat lackluster. The Elders of the Hidden World Clan saw the young heirs they brought along drooping like frostbitten eggplants; and with the audience’s attention completely on Gu Changsheng’s departure, they decided, might as well not conduct formal competitions today. They simply announced the rules of the contest and dismissed the gathering!

The formal Nirvana Martial Contest will begin tomorrow!

The Nirvana Martial Contest adopts an elimination system!

This time, the Hidden World Clan has dispatched about forty to fifty young descendants. They will draw lots for one-on-one matches, where the winner advances to the next round, and the defeated will compete again; the victor still qualifies to advance to the next round!

Admittedly, this setup by the Hidden World Clan is relatively fair. Although it wastes some time, the clan members evidently have plenty of time and don’t mind squandering it to build momentum! Moreover, they seem to thoroughly enjoy it!

During dinner, after hearing about these contest rules, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but snicker as she munched on a chicken leg...
