Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 1408 - 1060: Zhou Mu, You Don’t Need to Be on Guard Against Me!
Shi Wujue’s words successfully made Zhou Mu’s handsome eyebrows furrow, and his deep eyes involuntarily looked in the direction where Gu Changsheng had left, filled with worry!
Actually, he had never really left!
It was just that the doubts in his heart forced him to follow Shi Wujue’s steps, because he wanted to know what had happened to Shi Wujue!
What could cause someone as powerful as Shi Wujue to have an unsteady stance?
However, the result was beyond Zhou Mu’s expectations!
Shi Wujue had returned!
He didn’t know the reason for Shi Wujue’s return, but when he saw the figure of Gu Changsheng crouching on the ground, Zhou Mu’s heart truly ached!
Yet after hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, Zhou Mu felt relieved!
Indeed, his woman was such a woman!
Her arrogance and pride were ingrained deeply, although she appeared easy-going and approachable on the surface, it was only limited to those who could genuinely enter her heart. More often, she persists with her inner limits, completely disregarding those she doesn’t like.
She is cold and resolute!
But the man before her is unique!
To force Gu Changsheng, who usually seemed approachable, to say such harsh and unkind words, Shi Wujue must be different in her heart, right?
Shi Wujue saw Zhou Mu standing still, his lips curled into a sinister smile. He lifted his black sleeve to wipe the blood from his lip and looked down at the bloodstains on his clothes, speaking in a deep voice, "Zhou, don’t you think your concern for this City Lord has gone beyond what it used to be? Or do you truly fear this City Lord that much? Leaving Gu Changsheng alone here just to follow and find out the truth? What are you afraid of?"
"..." Zhou Mu stiffened slightly upon hearing this, a flicker of uncertainty flashing in his deep eyes.
As Shi Wujue said, his concern for Shi Wujue was truly out of the ordinary!
Zhou Mu’s heart began to pound, was it really as Shi Wujue said, that he was indeed afraid of him?
"Zhou, what are you afraid of? After this City Lord erased that promise, what are you worrying about now? Worried that this City Lord will take Gu Changsheng from you? Haha..." Shi Wujue laughed himself, his pale face looking even more forlorn, his white hair swirling with hints of red blood, his elongated eyes fixed on Zhou Mu, Shi Wujue spoke in a deep voice, "Zhou Mu, throughout the world, the only person I can consider both a friend and an adversary is you! If you hadn’t bound yourself, you would have reached the Conquest Realm like this City Lord, even now, this City Lord admires you greatly! But Zhou Mu, how many people like us exist in the world? How many can stand beside us, qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with us?"
Zhou Mu turned to meet Shi Wujue’s gaze, a look of struggle passing through his eyes.
"Zhou Mu, us falling in love with the same woman is both an accident and inevitability! After all, women who match us, worthy of our love, are too few! This City Lord thought this City Lord would be alone until death, yet this City Lord had the fortune to meet someone at first glance, someone who made this City Lord’s heart move! But this City Lord is also unfortunate, because this City Lord and you fell in love with the same woman! And it was after you, after she accepted you!" Shi Wujue said, his lips curled in a self-deprecating smile.
"Shi Wujue..." Zhou Mu’s divinely handsome face twisted suddenly, "Why say these things?"
These were the things he least wanted to hear!
And things he most didn’t want to accept!
Ever since Shi Wujue saved Gu Changsheng, the three of them had been trying hard to avoid this issue, reluctant to touch it for fear the future would be even more awkward!
But now, Shi Wujue unexpectedly took the initiative to break this barrier, although not in front of Gu Changsheng, Zhou Mu’s heart was still chaotic, momentarily not knowing how to respond!
"Why say these things..." Shi Wujue murmured, "This City Lord only wants to tell you, Zhou Mu, falling in love with the same woman as you is this City Lord’s greatest fortune and greatest misfortune! Especially because that woman is Gu Changsheng!"
Speaking here, Shi Wujue looked up towards the eastern sky where a full moon was slowly rising, its hazy glow beginning to illuminate the earth...
"If she weren’t who she is, would this City Lord be like this? There’s no need to guard against this City Lord, Zhou Mu, this City Lord is the least likely to truly affect your relationship with her..."
Because, he is unworthy!
From the beginning, from knowing Gu Changsheng was Gu Changsheng, the person destined to be the Female Star of the Occupation Room Ying Zhao, Shi Wujue knew she would never walk the same path as him!
The first encounter in the Secluded Valley was the greatest surprise for Shi Wujue in his life!
Unexpected, yet seemingly predestined by fate...
Perhaps, this is fate...
Making him fall in love with someone destined to stand on the opposite side...
"Shi Wujue, you..." Zhou Mu hesitated, opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but after opening his mouth, didn’t know what to say.
Is this Shi Wujue’s guarantee and promise?
The person who would least affect his relationship with Changsheng...
Zhou Mu is not a selfish person, furthermore, his pride does not allow him to be selfish!
However, it must be said that when he heard Shi Wujue’s words, his heart was pleased!
A person who makes Gu Changsheng regard him differently, his fear and vigilance are reasonable, all because he cares about Gu Changsheng!
But...
Under such a bitter promise from Shi Wujue, Zhou Mu again feels his own thoughts are so lowly!
"Zhou Mu, the Evil Gathering Formation in Linyuan City has stretched over thousands of years, so ancient that historical records in all places have never recorded it, wanting to break the formation is not that simple. The reason I am so embarrassed is solely due to excessive consumption in breaking the formation, and has nothing to do with rescuing Gu Changsheng! Since this City Lord can save her, naturally, I can keep myself safe. On this point, you can be assured, the doubts in your heart can also be dispelled, you and her need not be trapped by this anymore. Since this City Lord has brought forth that promise with one word, I will never mention it again, this also counts as honoring the friendship since childhood with you!"
After saying this, Shi Wujue turned around and slowly walked down the mountain, his long white hair like snow fluttering behind him, so glaring...
"Shi Wujue..." Zhou Mu reached out, followed a step, and struggled to call out softly.
"Today’s matter is the fault of this City Lord. Tomorrow, this City Lord himself will give Gu Changsheng an explanation. As for you, Zhou Mu, if you make her sad, how you explain it is your business, and has nothing to do with this City Lord! Also, do not spy on this City Lord, although with your current ability, you can fight against this City Lord, Zhou Mu, you are the person this City Lord least wants to be an enemy of in this life, and she is the person this City Lord least wants to hurt..."
At this point, Shi Wujue paused his figure, suddenly turned around, looked at Zhou Mu standing at a higher place, the depths of his narrow eyes obscure and unclear, raised his hand to point at Zhou Mu, speaking in a deep voice, full of warning, "But Zhou Mu, hear this, if you make her sad again, this City Lord does not mind stealing another’s wife! Any reputation of censure from the world, shame as a person, this City Lord does not care at all! If it really comes to that time, even if it’s risking the world’s greatest condemnation, even if it’s going against the heavens, this City Lord will also imprison her by my side!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu’s face immediately turned somber, four eyes met, yet Zhou Mu nodded, responding with a deep voice, "I will keep your words in mind!"
"That is good..." Hearing this, Shi Wujue finally lowered his raised hand, stared deeply at Zhou Mu once again, his figure flickered as he forcefully unleashed his Inner Strength, and like a phantom, vanished in front of Zhou Mu...
Watching the empty mountain below, Zhou Mu’s expression was inscrutable...
The hand hidden under the sleeve slowly clenched, as the face crafted by the creator’s stroke revealed even more heavy expression...
To fall in love with the same woman...
He and Shi Wujue?
This is a question Zhou Mu never considered!
Though he knew long ago that the woman he set his eyes on was destined to be extraordinary, for men to admire her was only natural!
But, he always thought he was good enough, this is the pride of a strong person, for he is Zhou Mu who rules the world and looks down on all beings!
He just forgot, he forgot that there is another person in this world, one he cannot see through, a powerful man who can stand on equal footing with him!
From the time in Licheng City, Zhou Mu predicted they would eventually meet Shi Wujue in Linyuan City!
At that time, he had hidden worries, but, he did not expect events to unfold to the current situation...
A favor for saving a life, gifting benefits, they owed Shi Wujue a debt of gratitude that cannot be repaid!
And Shi Wujue, actually also got moved...
"Moved to persevere... Shi Wujue, you and Changsheng... both made the same choice..."
Thinking of the guarantee Shi Wujue gave, Zhou Mu’s face remained obscure...
The conversation between Gu Changsheng and Shi Wujue, he heard every word without missing anything...
Changsheng said the presence of Shi Wujue made her tread on thin ice, unable to advance or retreat...
Then what about him, Zhou Mu himself?
Unable to help but look up at the sky, Zhou Mu let out a long sigh, then he thought, perhaps he is the key to why they tread on thin ice, unable to advance or retreat?
Born a king, destined to stand at the top of all lives, for the first time, Zhou Mu’s feelings were so chaotic!
Because of love!
Seeing the increasingly dark night, looking at the dim slopes around, Zhou Mu’s mouth slowly curved into a self-mocking smile, his gaze withdrew, bowed his head and murmured, "What Yuan Bao said was indeed correct, **** is the most unsettling of hearts, regardless of how strong or invincible this person is, they cannot escape, cannot win against, cannot break free from..."
