Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 1481 - 1124: Shi Wujue’s Decision
"When the arena is repaired, I will await the news of the Nirvana Martial Contest being held again at the City Lord’s Mansion!"
This statement successfully made the faces of the elders on the arena darken.
However, it was obvious that Gu Changsheng was not speaking to them, but rather, to Helan Qingque and Dantai Lan!
The Medicine Immortal Old Man at least did not deceive her about one thing, which was that there were indeed people in Hidden World Clan who could rival the dragons and phoenixes among people in the secular world!
Masters!
She needed masters to stabilize her own realm and further her progress!
Her time was running short; she had no choice but to become stronger!
No matter how much her identity exposure had caused a great stir here, Gu Changsheng, Zhou Mu, and Shi Wujue led Diao Chan and others back to the City Lord’s Mansion!
Upon reaching the City Lord’s Mansion, unsurprisingly, they were greeted by Borjigin Nian!
Borjigin Nian gave them a thorough look over and couldn’t help but frown, "You’re back, where is Xiao Gu Ze?"
Borjigin Nian’s mention of this was just as well not mentioned; upon hearing it, Gu Changsheng’s face darkened even more as she said indignantly, "Don’t mention it, was taken away by some opportunistic relatives! Saves us the trouble!"
"Uh..." Hearing this, Borjigin Nian was taken aback and couldn’t help but reprimand, "What kind of irresponsible mother are you? Xiao Gu Ze is your own son!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
"He was willing to go with them himself, what could I do?" Gu Changsheng shrugged, this wasn’t her fault.
"You! Forget it, can’t argue with you, but why did you expose your identity outside? Don’t you know, once your identity is revealed, in a few days, it will surely reach Northern Mongolia..." Borjigin Nian spoke, his face showing a heavy expression.
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng also put away her playful smile, and her expression turned serious. After pondering for a moment, she slowly spoke, "Nian, we have lingered in Linyuan City for a long time, hesitating is not a solution!"
Gu Changsheng said this, then turned her head, glancing at the two men beside her who were like Jade Tree of Qiong Branch, lowered her eyes, and continued slowly, "The chaos in Northern Mongolia, Nian, your Father King has been trapped in the Royal City for a long time; if we hesitate any longer, it will surely be detrimental to your Father King!"
"I remember you once told me that your Father King’s health has never been good. Remaining in such negative emotions for a long time will only make him increasingly weak, and if we drag this out without waiting for those in Northern Mongolia plotting rebellion to harm your Father King, his condition will only worsen!"
Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian’s expression immediately became tense, and he couldn’t help but step forward, grabbing Gu Changsheng’s sleeve, anxiously saying, "Then what do you mean? Exposing your identity in Linyuan City, do you intend to go with me to Northern Mongolia, to help me rescue Father King?"
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately smiled, raised a hand, and comfortingly patted Borjigin Nian, her eyes containing a hint of guilt as she said, "Since I have already come here, how could I stand by? Borjigin Nian, you and I are bonded by life and death, you have risked danger for me multiple times without abandoning me, and the chaos in Northern Mongolia has partly arisen because of me. If I retreat now, would I, Gu Changsheng, still be worthy?"
"What are you talking about!" Borjigin Nian interjected, immediately saying, "Even if someone has incited the chaos in Northern Mongolia, if it weren’t for those with wolf-ish ambitions among our Northern Mongolian Royal Family, how could they succeed? Gu Changsheng, the matters of Northern Mongolia are none of your concern! This is our Northern Mongolian business! I’m already infinitely grateful for your willingness to lend me the Dark Night Army and the Fengyun Order!"
"Among friends, we don’t talk about these things!" Gu Changsheng shook her head upon hearing this and said, "I have already asked Liu Fengyun to sort out the news about Northern Mongolia sent back by people from the Itinerant World. Nian, he surely doesn’t understand Northern Mongolia as well as you do, so keep an eye on it."
"I’ve revealed my identity in Linyuan City, so the person pulling the strings behind the scenes surely knows that the Nirvana Martial Contest is the deadline for them to act. At this juncture, we must hold our composure even more. I want to see just what kind of setup they’ve laid out in Northern Mongolia, whether they intend to block my journey north or open the gates for me!"
Speaking to this point, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but show a hint of a calculating expression in her eyes.
Today, on the arena of the Nirvana Martial Contest, she had unmasked and exposed herself as the Southern Emperor, partly to avoid further turmoil because if she didn’t reveal her identity, there would be no peaceful resolution. The other part was because she had already achieved sudden enlightenment on her path, and was just short of the Spiritual Treasure to complete her journey to Conquest Realm; the time was just about ripe!
"You mean to continue heading north?" Shi Wujue, standing to the side, listened and couldn’t help but speak, his white hair cascading down, brows slightly furrowed beneath long lashes that partially hid his emotions.
Gu Changsheng heard and nodded, "Yes! I intend to continue north! Even knowing there are tigers in the mountain, I am set on heading to the tiger’s den! At the Far North Godfall Site, there is something I desire no matter what, and for it, I shall not give up!"
"Even if the future is uncertain? Doom or blessing undecided?" Shi Wujue asked, continuing.
"Yes! Even if it’s a deadly situation, I will still go!" A look of resolute determination appeared on Gu Changsheng’s face.
Upon hearing this, Shi Wujue pondered slightly, then nodded, "Alright! Then as City Lord, I will go with you!"
"What did you say?"
"What did you say?"
Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, immediately turned his head, incredulously stating.
Similarly surprised, Zhou Mu also spoke, and the two of them said the same thing.
Seeing this, Shi Wujue immediately laughed, looked at the two, raised an eyebrow, "What expressions are those on your faces? Don’t overthink it! The reason this City Lord wants to head north with you is because, reportedly, in the Far North Land, there lies an opportunity bestowed by the Divine Relic..."
"But you’re already a Primordial Transformative Realm master..." Gu Changsheng heard this, furrowed her brow, "This chance of Divine Relic, it doesn’t seem to be of much use to you, is it worth the risk?"
"Not necessarily, the Divine Relic Item, which captures the miracles of creation, might just help this City Lord’s power to surge once again," Shi Wujue laughed upon hearing this, shrugged, and said,"Alright! Settled then, you’ve already said it yourselves, since this City Lord is at least a Master of the Transformative Realm, with me accompanying, you’ll be like a tiger with wings, you should be happy!"
Gu Changsheng: "..."
She felt happy...
Alongside the happiness, there was a bit of anxiety...
Although Shi Wujue has plainly stated that he has a fiancée, why does Gu Changsheng still faintly feel that with Shi Wujue accompanying them north, it might turn into a love triangle?
Is there any way to brush away this strange idea from her mind?
"Gu Changsheng, with a master like Shi Wujue escorting you, it’s as good as foolproof! What are you still hesitating about?" Borjigin Nian laughed instantly upon hearing Shi Wujue would accompany them, and said excitedly.
Gu Changsheng twitched at the corner of her mouth, speechless at Borjigin Nian’s cluelessness.
Geez, didn’t you see when Shi Wujue announced he’d come along, how your dear senior brother’s face, usually godlike, got all scrunched up like a bun?
"Try having someone around you who waits for you to repay a favor all the time? That feeling’s almost like dealing with a debt collector, let’s see if you can still be happy..." Gu Changsheng could only comfort herself with the thought that Shi Wujue was just worried about her not returning the favor.
"Haha..." Beside her, Shi Wujue laughed immediately after hearing this and looked at Gu Changsheng with an inexplicable gaze.
Meanwhile, Zhou Mu shook his head bitterly, looking at Shi Wujue, who offered to accompany them without saying a word...
But Borjigin Nian, trailing behind Gu Changsheng, unhurriedly said, "Gu Changsheng, you’re thinking too little of people, Shi Wujue is the respected lord of Linyuan City, he’s definitely not that kind of person!"
"What do you know!" Gu Changsheng retorted with a roll of her eyes.
Although she’s somewhat oblivious, she could clearly feel that the way Shi Wujue looked at her was so blatantly obvious, how could she not notice it?
Moreover, he already has a fiancée, and it just so happens that she’s about to become the third party, great timing indeed!
In the future, if his fiancée comes charging, seeing Shi Wujue being whisked away by her to venture up north, wouldn’t she come after her with a vengeance?
Nevertheless, nonetheless, having a master like Shi Wujue with her truly feels like having wings added to a tiger...
But it would be best if there’s no budding affection in the mix...
"Why wouldn’t I know? Gu Changsheng, Shi Wujue is brimming with sincerity and treats us with utmost honesty..." Borjigin Nian continued his relentless chatter by Gu Changsheng’s ear, "You have no idea how ridiculous that heckler Yue Xilou is, just now, when you all were brawling on the ring, he was suspicious that Yue Xilou was going to wipe you all out, and rushed over with his men..."
"I saw Yue Xilou." Gu Changsheng replied absentmindedly, her heart still tangled with the issue of Shi Wujue accompanying them north.
Honestly, with such a master coming along, she felt a bit more secure, but thinking about the dreaded Divine Demise Land, and the Sand Sea Wolf Tribe... Gu Changsheng started to hesitate!
The future’s really unknown, whether it’s fortune or disaster, whether she can make it back alive is something even she doesn’t know, should she really let Shi Wujue go on this adventure with them? If something indeed happens, wouldn’t she be ungrateful and cause harm to Shi Wujue?
He’s already done enough for her, how could she let him come to harm?
Ah!
Upon thinking about it, it really is a dilemma, probably it’s best to find an opportunity to turn down Shi Wujue’s proposal during the Nirvana Martial Contest in these few days!
It’s unreasonable for her to exhaust someone as dignified as a City Lord to go on this risky northern journey just for her obsession, what more is there to say when you consider the powerful Tianlan behind Fufeng? Not to mention the unknown schemes and intrigues that Northern Mongolia might have waiting for them, even she didn’t know...
