Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 1464 - 1109: Old Lady Zuoqiu Takes Action!
"Woo... woo... so sad, my heart hurts... woo..."
In that moment of hesitation, when Gu Changsheng stretched out his hand, Little Meat Bun was already wailing and rushing into the embrace of the Old Madam Zuoqiu sitting above!
The speed was so fast that Gu Changsheng couldn’t stop him in time!
Oh my Godfather and Fourth Auntie Grandma!
Son, you rushed at the wrong person!
Gu Changsheng held her forehead, internally lamenting. She truly worried that the fierce Old Madam Zuoqiu would send her son flying with a single swing of her Dragon Head Cane!
With such worries, Gu Changsheng was already acting; as a master, she knew better than anyone that the Old Madam Zuoqiu before her was an unparalleled master, her skills even equaled those of the Medicine Immortal Old Man. She had no assurance of rescuing her son from the furious Old Madam Zuoqiu, but she couldn’t allow her son to be harmed under her watch!
Vigilance, intense and tense vigilance!
At this moment, Gu Changsheng couldn’t care less about participating in the Nirvana Martial Contest or any First Prize reward. She only hoped her son would remain safe!
Only heaven knew how much she regretted bringing her son to this dangerous Nirvana Martial Contest arena!
"Woo, so sad, Grandma, please hold me..."
Yet, while Gu Changsheng was bracing herself, ready to rescue her son in the nick of time, Little Meat Bun had already accelerated right into the arms of Old Madam Zuoqiu...
The old hand holding the Dragon Head Cane trembled slightly, the sadness of longing for the past still lingered on Old Madam Zuoqiu’s wrinkled face, while now her old eyes carried a hint of bewilderment and confusion...
This soft little child who burrowed into her chest...
Old Madam Zuoqiu suddenly found herself momentarily lost...
The joy when her youngest son was born, she had a high status in the entire Zuoqiu Noble Family, apart from her most beloved youngest son, who dared to act unruly around her?
This gentle little one touched her seemingly impregnable heart, during the despair of losing her young son, it was her adorable little granddaughter who brought the last ray of light to her dismal life. The pain of white-haired sending off the black-haired, she had tasted several times, leaving behind only hatred and the coldness like that of a Cold Pool, keeping everyone at a distance...
Even within the clan, even when the clan introduced new offspring, neither did she ever extend a hand to hold even one child!
She was scared!
Scared that children she cherished would leave her once again...
Gradually, she forgot what it felt like to hold a little one, soft and warm against her chest...
"Woo... woo... so sad..."
The little child was still in her arms, crying loudly.
This left Old Madam Zuoqiu a bit at a loss!
To comfort a child?
How many years had it been?
How many years had passed since she lost her granddaughter? No one required her to comfort them anymore, only children looking at her fearfully, along with her solitude and coldness...
The hand holding the Dragon Head Cane quivered; Old Madam Zuoqiu raised her eyes in a daze, glancing at Gu Changsheng who was ready to act, her old lips murmuring, was this her son?
She wanted to let her take away this discourteous little child, yet a trace of reluctance appeared in Old Madam Zuoqiu’s heart!
Reluctance!
It had been so long since she felt the sensation of being hugged and relied upon!
So long, that she thought her heart had grown as strong as a rock, no longer moved by anyone, except for her once-loved but lost child...
Is this her child?
She’s the heir of Medicine King Valley, the one to offer incense for her granddaughter, and this child would, most likely, become the one to pay tribute as a younger generation before her beloved granddaughter’s memorial tablet; this... could be considered her descendant?
Raising a stiff, wrinkle-covered old hand, Old Madam Zuoqiu hesitated, recalling how she used to comfort children many years ago, yet looking at the crying mess Little Meat Bun in her arms, she didn’t dare to place her hand...
Her martial arts skills had deepened, would the strength she used back then really not hurt this little one?
Would it not?
She wasn’t sure?
When Gu Changsheng saw Old Madam Zuoqiu raise her hand, her heart truly rose to her throat, afraid that in the next instant, her Little Meat Bun would be sent flying like a kite with a snapped string, more afraid that her hands would fail to catch her son...
"Don’t cry..."
Yet, in Gu Changsheng’s hesitation, a voice, aged and deeply steady, carrying a hint of unfamiliar comfort, came from the top seat...
This voice made Gu Changsheng’s movements come to a sudden halt, the whole alert person, stood like wood, in disbelief raising her head and anxiously watched Old Madam Zuoqiu sitting atop...
Then, she saw a scene that made the corner of Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitch...
This slightly bewildered and panicked old lady, holding her son with exceptionally cautious movements, carefully raising her hand for a light pat as if afraid of accidentally hurting the child in her arms, was this fierce Old Madam Zuoqiu whom even Dugu Jieao had to endure silently?
This...
The change in scene’s tone was ridiculously fast, catching Gu Changsheng somewhat off guard!
Speaking a comforting word, Old Madam Zuoqiu’s actions were no longer stiff and unfamiliar, raising her old hand to gently pat Little Meat Bun’s back, comforting with a warm voice, "Don’t cry don’t cry, good child, don’t cry..."
"Woo..."
No one understood better than herself, once her son got into things, that acting skill was enough to bring down an elder’s strong façade!
Thus, the more Old Madam Zuoqiu comforted, the more violently Little Meat Bun cried!
That stance left Gu Changsheng’s face stiff, the corner of her mouth twitching regularly...
"Don’t cry, don’t cry! Good boy, don’t cry. Grandma will show you something fun! Look, the Nine-turn Soul-seizing Thousand-mechanism Sphere!"
As she spoke, Old Madam Zuoqiu’s hand produced an exquisitely crafted wooden ball, like a piece of art.
Gu Changsheng watched Old Madam Zuoqiu take out a tool meant to amuse children, and her mouth twitched even more!
But in the next instant, Gu Changsheng’s mouth stopped twitching, and her entire being was like a calamity descending upon her, frozen, frozen...
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh..."
"..."
Several sounds of firing whizzed past Gu Changsheng’s temple, flying straight behind her. The speed was so fast that if Gu Changsheng hadn’t turned her head in time, she would have been riddled with holes in no time...
"Ah!"
Gu Changsheng managed to dodge it because she was quick, but the person who lifted the curtain behind her was not so lucky!
A cry of pain came from behind Gu Changsheng!
Gu Changsheng couldn’t believe her ears and turned to see Dugu Jieao leaning against a pillar between two stands, covering his ear. His old face was twisted in pain...
And there was blood on the hand he used to cover his ear, quickly flowing down...
Fast!
Such quick speed!
So fast that it was unexpected!
So fast that even a master of the Transformative Realm like Dugu Jieao couldn’t dodge!
God knows how grateful Gu Changsheng felt at this moment!
Thank goodness she had been on guard earlier, otherwise she would have been disfigured by those flying needles!
Scared to death!
Gu Changsheng clutched her chest, feeling infinitely grateful!
God knows the shock in Gu Changsheng’s heart at the moment she saw Dugu Jieao injured!
Was this really just a toy Old Madam Zuoqiu casually took out to amuse kids?
Goodness!
This is simply a must-have tool for murder and robbery!
How powerful Dugu Jieao is; Gu Changsheng, who had faced him at the Licheng City auction, knew all too well!
Cold sweat suddenly started to trickle down Gu Changsheng’s forehead!
This sweat was all due to gratitude, all due to the gratitude of surviving a disaster!
Gu Changsheng was extremely grateful that she trusted her instincts in front of Old Madam Zuoqiu and didn’t act recklessly!
This was simply the wisest decision she had made in recent times!
This Old Madam Zuoqiu is fierce!
Utterly fierce!
Undeniably fierce!
Who in the world casually takes out a small thing and injures a master of the Transformative Realm?
It’s just incredible!
"Huff huff huff!"
The sound of rapid breathing carried an undisguisable fury, and at this moment, Dugu Jieao was undoubtedly outraged!
Looking at the Nirvana Martial Contest about to begin, yet the side stands had become a place for reminiscing, how could this be? This made the Elders on the main stand obviously displeased!
So, the first to lose patience, Dugu Jieao, rushed over to interrupt the nostalgia here!
But little did he expect, as soon as he lifted the curtain, he was met with several flying needles landing precisely on his ear!
Speed!
Impossible to evade, unable to hide!
Even a master of the Transformative Realm like Dugu Jieao couldn’t avoid disaster and fell victim!
"Wow!" At this moment, the little chubby child nestled in Old Madam Zuoqiu’s arms couldn’t care to cry like a ghost anymore. Turning around, he exclaimed in amazement, and his chubby little hands immediately covered his mouth in awe.
For a moment, Gu Changsheng’s gaze darted between the injured Dugu Jieao and Old Madam Zuoqiu, speechless, not knowing what to say!
Old Madam Zuoqiu, you’ve truly earned everyone’s respect!
Could you not be so calm?
Your little toy for amusing children has shot someone!
And it hit a Hidden World Clan Elder, what should be done now?
