Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 1421 - 1072: I Object!
A gentle and quiet voice timely interjected...
Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue turned around at the sound, only to see Liu Fengyun sitting on the adjacent viewing platform, craning his neck with a sympathetic expression.
The viewing platforms on either side of the arena were draped with gauze, lightly flowing and creating a unique charm. However, the gauze curtain between the two platforms was quite thick, so the view from one platform to the other was not very clear, and the soundproofing was somewhat effective!
Zhou Mu glanced at Liu Fengyun on the neighboring platform, his lips curving slightly, and instructed the Person in Black standing behind him, "Raise the gauze curtain. We are not strangers here!"
The Person in Black heard this, glanced at Shi Wujue, who still wore a cheery expression with no objection, agreed, and moved forward to raise the thick gauze curtain between the main and secondary platforms!
This opened up the view immensely, making the two platforms appear as if they were joined together!
"Hehe..." Liu Fengyun supported his chin with one hand on the table in the center of the platform, looking with great interest at the two people at the table next to him, a mysterious smile on his face.
Zhou Mu nodded in acknowledgment, speaking in a deep voice, "In the past, in Liuzhou City, I did not have the good fortune to meet you. Encountering you today is indeed an honor! I have heard the Manor Master of Wind Cloud Mountain Villa mention you, saying you are quite a remarkable man!"
"Haha! To receive such a compliment from her, I could die without regrets!" Liu Fengyun laughed upon hearing this.
He and Gu Changsheng became acquainted because of matters at the Southern Border. At that time, he was schemed against by someone skilled in Gu from the Southern Border and was poisoned by Gu poison, forcing him to seek the Medicine Goddess Lady in Liuzhou City, only to find out that the Medicine Goddess Lady Gu Changsheng was precisely the person the rebel from the Southern Border was desperately searching for!
Gu Changsheng did not hesitate to reveal her identity to relieve his Gu, and he offered the Fengyun Order!
Even now, Liu Fengyun remains infinitely grateful for the action of freely distributing the Fengyun Order everywhere!
South Emperor!
Who could have predicted that the Medicine Goddess Lady of Liuzhou City would, in the blink of an eye, transform dramatically in just two years, ascending to the Nine-Layer, calling herself Emperor of the Southern Country as a woman?
Liu Fengyun, in his lifetime, embodied the spirit of a scholar, possessed the righteousness and loyalty of a hero, and held an affectionate intrigue for the itinerant world, but he could not master any martial arts. Yet, he was the Manor Master of Wind Cloud Mountain Villa, which commands great respect in the itinerant world! Due to his actions, the Wind Cloud Mountain Villa could ally with the Southern Emperor, which he believes is the wisest choice he has ever made for Wind Cloud Mountain Villa. It is enough to honor the ancestors of Wind Cloud Mountain Villa in the underworld!
Though the itinerant world and the Imperial Court are unrelated, who knows how generations of those who hold sway over the itinerant world have painstakingly worked to maintain such a delicate balance?
But now, with the Southern Emperor and himself—Liu Fengyun—and the presence of the Southern Country and Wind Cloud Mountain Villa, this delicate balance will not be easily broken!
When Gu Changsheng handed the Fengyun Order to Borjigin Nian, who then wielded it to stir the winds of the itinerant world, Liu Fengyun understood that Gu Changsheng considered him worthwhile to be owed such a great favor!
To die for a confidant!
This is the creed of the itinerant world’s people. Though Liu Fengyun is merely a scholar, he deeply understands the ways of the itinerant world!
Gu Changsheng holds him in high regard, and he is willing to risk everything for the peace of the itinerant world that has lasted a hundred years, even at the risk of his own life, to travel north this time!
Since parting in Liuzhou City in the past, many springs and autumns have passed, and now, that woman stands at an unattainable height!
Liu Fengyun looked at Gu Changsheng, who was confronting the young talents from various Hidden World Clans in the distance, unable to suppress a sigh, "Indeed, turmoil breeds heroes, and the situation creates heroines. She is no longer what she used to be and truly remarkable now!"
"Hehe... Manor Master Liu, did you not foresee such an outcome from that fateful meeting in Liuzhou City?" Zhou Mu asked upon hearing this, an uncanny smile appearing on his godlike face as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Indeed! If not for anticipating that this woman was exceptional, how could I have so easily given away the Fengyun Order?" Liu Fengyun replied with a smile, without any reservation. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
He was the Manor Master of Wind Cloud Mountain Villa. Without some foresight, how could he, a useless scholar, possibly manage to hold the preeminent position in the itinerant world?
"Manor Master Liu, your keen insight and the good fortune forged today truly earn my respect! The itinerant world has you, and Wind Cloud Mountain Villa has you, a true blessing!" Zhou Mu nodded, not sparing praise.
Considering Zhou Mu’s demeanor, unless he truly admired Liu Fengyun, he would certainly not have spoken such words!
He merely felt that anyone who could impress the woman of his family and maintain such a fortuitous alliance with them was worth noticing, even if they had no martial arts skills!
At the very least, such foresight and courage to bet are beyond ordinary people’s reach!
"Haha! Indeed? This scholar also feels that sitting in this position is well-deserved!" Liu Fengyun responded, a light and proud smile appearing on his face.
"Alright, you two stop reminiscing. If not for this city lord sitting again, those old geezers around might have eavesdropped on everything you said!" Shi Wujue could no longer bear the silence, raising an eyebrow slightly, interrupting Zhou Mu and Liu Fengyun’s conversation, and pointed at the direction where Gu Changsheng was, saying eagerly, "Look! The beauty is about to make her move!"
Zhou Mu and Liu Fengyun, upon hearing this, immediately stopped their reminiscing and turned to look in the direction of Gu Changsheng...
At this moment, Gu Changsheng indeed made a move!
Seeing her son struggling with a choice for so long without deciding who was the unluckiest, Gu Changsheng couldn’t stand it anymore. She had no desire to stand there foolishly under the sun and preferred to seize a prime spot in the stands!
So, Gu Changsheng turned around, grabbed the man who initially guided her, and furrowed her brows as she asked in a deep voice, "Hey, you said that the height of the stand positions is arranged according to the competitors’ strength, right?"
"Huh?" The man, caught by the collar by Gu Changsheng, looked nervous and a bit bewildered, just nodding dumbly, "Yes... yes, that’s right... the stand positions are arranged like that..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng also nodded, flung the man to the side, clapped her hands, and said with boldness, "Alright then, this old lady has a problem with that! I am not satisfied!"
"What?" The man, having just climbed up from the ground, was stunned and widened his eyes, as if hearing a joke, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and said, "Immortal Lady, what did you say? I didn’t catch that..."
"I said, I am not satisfied!" Gu Changsheng put her hands on her hips and said with an air of righteousness.
"Pff!"
"Pfft!"
"Ha!"
"Haha!"
"..."
As soon as Gu Changsheng finished her words, sounds of laughter erupted from the stands not far in front of her, filled with disdain!
Gu Changsheng didn’t need to turn around to know that it was definitely the voices of those young talents from the Hidden World Clan who looked down on everyone!
Disdain, huh?
Hmph!
Later, this old lady will show you what real disdain looks like!
"Immortal Lady, you..." the guiding man finally scrambled up in a low voice.
Behind him, the Dugu Family’s Servant Boy looked anxious, unsure of what to do as he stomped his feet.
"I am participating in the Nirvana Martial Contest as a representative of Medicine King Valley, but you placed me in that remote corner because I have no ranking among the Hidden World Clan!" Gu Changsheng turned around, pointed at the small stand below the arena steps, and continued with a somber tone, "I personally don’t mind; I am just a low-key person with depth! But my indifference doesn’t mean Medicine King Valley would ignore this insult! The descendants of Medicine King Valley must not be humiliated! A monk fights for a stick of incense, and a man fights for breath. Such disdain towards Medicine King Valley is unacceptable today; I demand an explanation!"
"Immortal Lady, you exaggerate. The arrangement of the Nirvana Martial Contest stands was decided among the Hidden World Clan prior to the contest, and I clearly remember that the Medical Immortal was present and raised no objections!" The guiding man adjusted his clothes, looking troubled yet speaking logically and confidently.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s expression turned ugly, her phoenix eyes narrowed as she stared at the guiding man, pondering...
Damn, what’s the meaning of this?
It means that the pitiful placement given to her was known in advance by that troublesome old head of the Medical Immortal?
He knew about it but didn’t tell her first to prepare mentally?
Even so, Gu Changsheng felt that mental preparation was futile; the position was too poor, she couldn’t accept it!
Especially compared to the positions of Zhou Mu, Shi Wujue, and Liu Fengyun, the gap was colossal, as wide as the sky and the earth!
Only with comparison does balance exist, and likewise, with comparison, there can be imbalance!
Thus, with Medicine King Valley as the reason no longer usable to seek justice, the unbalanced Gu Changsheng showed no sign of yielding. Her bright, petite face beneath half a mask was filled with frost. She shot the guiding man a glare, then glanced at the group of young elites watching the spectacle, a determined arc slowly forming at her mouth, and said in a deep voice, "Fine! Since that’s the case! I have nothing more to say! However, as you said, the stand positions are determined by strength ranking! The reason my stand position is so low is because I have no strength ranking among the Hidden World Clan! It’s simple! I’ll make sure there’s a strength ranking for me in the Hidden World Clan! I want you to watch with your eyes wide open as I snatch a place that satisfies me with my own abilities! Starting from right behind you!"
Saying that, Gu Changsheng pointed her finger at the position of the Hidden World Clan’s stand, finger directly indicating Yu Qingqiu...
