Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 499 - 357: The Tower Master Will Ask Again in the Next Life

Chapter 499: Chapter 357: The Tower Master Will Ask Again in the Next Life

Inside Xilou, Gu Changsheng and Borjigin Nian had already arrived at the door of Yue Xilou’s Quite Room where he was in seclusion.

The door was inlaid with two Luminous Pearls, and under the misty glow of the pearls, the door of the Quite Room was tightly closed.

"Flower Peacock? Flower Peacock, did you hear me?" Gu Changsheng checked the meticulously closed door and anxiously shouted while banging on it.

"Flower Peacock! Flower Peacock, I am Gu Changsheng, what on earth happened to you? Make a sound!"

"Flower Peacock!..."

Seeing that Gu Changsheng was desperately banging the door, Borjigin Nian hurriedly grabbed her reddened hand, "It’s useless! You built this Quite Room specifically for him, didn’t you tell me at that time that once it’s locked from the inside, it can only be opened from the inside?"

The entire Gu Residence was designed by Gu Changsheng’s own hand, and this Quite Room in Xilou was something Flower Peacock had beg her in person to build!

She clearly remembered that they had laughingly remarked at the time that once this Quite Room was built, it would be almost the same as the Asylum Cave!

Only, the Asylum Cave was for seeking refuge, whereas the Quite Room was to avoid being disturbed!

She never thought that now it would turn into self-imposed captivity!

"Flower Peacock! Come out! You come out to me!" Gu Changsheng, not giving up hope, kicked the door, there were no secret passages! This Quite Room had no secret passages!

This was the only room in her residence without a secret passage!

Even the Asylum Cave had a secret passage leading outside the residence, but here there was not!

"Gu Changsheng, don’t be foolish! It is better for him to not come out than for him to come out! Can’t you feel the massive fluctuation of Inner Strength? Is this the usual cultivation of Yue Xilou? Wake up, he has already gone into demonic trance!" Borjigin Nian grabbed Gu Changsheng’s shoulders and shook her desperately.

"No! If this continues, he will die!" Gu Changsheng shook her head anxiously.

"His death is better than our death! Wake up, he has gone into demonic trance! He is no longer your family’s Flower Peacock!" Compared to a handsome man of whom she had only heard and never met, Borjigin Nian did not hesitate to choose her own life.

"Even if he has gone into a demonic trance, he is still Yue Xilou! He is still my family’s Flower Peacock! Step aside!" Gu Changsheng, consumed by anger, flung off Borjigin Nian’s encumbrances and turned back to continue banging on the door.

Flower Peacock must be fine!

Such a dazzlingly beautiful person, more enchanting than a spirit, how could he die from cultivation gone awry and entering demonic trance!

It cannot be! Absolutely not!

"Flower Peacock! Open the Quite Room!"

"Flower Peacock! You come out to me! If you don’t come out, believe it or not, I am going to blow up this Quite Room with the explosives, and blow you to ash too!" Gu Changsheng, frantic, tears swirling in her eyes.

She did not want to lose a family member!

No way!

Seeing her so frantic, Borjigin Nian couldn’t help but shake her head.

"Girl, you are really heartless..."

A teasing voice emanated from the gap in the door, and the originally closed iron door slowly began to slide open...

Hearing this voice, Gu Changsheng suddenly became petrified, not even daring to turn her head, maintaining the position of knocking on the door.

"I... I think I heard Flower Peacock’s voice..." Gu Changsheng murmured uncertainly.

And it was not a voice that disowns kinship, It was very normal as always..."

"I saw a Desolate Immortal..." Borjigin Nian’s eyes widened as she followed in a daze, murmuring to herself.

How to describe the person she had seen?

A figure in tattered Five-Colored Brocade Clothes, hair as dark as ink reaching his waist, loose and flowing, and that face... that face was devastatingly heart-wrenching!

Every bit was exquisitely perfect, every detail impeccably placed...

Gazing at the man before her filled with an air of worldly experience, Borjigin Nian felt as if she could hear her own heartbeat going haywire...

Beautiful! Beauty to the extreme, almost demonically so!

Gu Changsheng stiffened her neck, like a puppet being guided, turning her head toward the source of the voice, her eyes filled with disbelief and careful joy, "Flower... Flower Peacock..."

It was Flower Peacock talking to her!

Flower Peacock was safe! He hadn’t entered a demonic trance! He wouldn’t die!

Relief and joy immediately spread through Gu Changsheng’s heart, and it was only then that she realized she had indeed come to regard Flower Peacock as a cherished family member.

Gu Changsheng had never seen Yue Xilou so scared before; seeing her like this, he couldn’t help but want to laugh, but before he could even start to smile, a mouthful of blood sprayed out...

In a flash, Gu Changsheng and Borjigin Nian became panicked, the joy quickly turning into concern.

"Flower Peacock, what’s wrong with you? Are you alright?" Gu Changsheng, seeing Yue Xilou clutching his chest and bending over, instinctively stretched out a hand to help him.

"Don’t get close to him!" Borjigin Nian exclaimed in alarm, and before she could stretch out her hand, she saw Gu Changsheng shoved away to the side.

Yue Xilou, quick of hand and sharp of eye, regardless of the unabated blood streaming from his mouth, dashed toward Gu Changsheng, whom he had pushed away with his Inner Strength.

Seeing that Gu Changsheng was caught, Borjigin Nian finally let out a long sigh of relief, then her face filled with doubt as she looked at Yue Xilou supporting Gu Changsheng, hesitating before finally speaking uncertainly, "Do you... you also have a Cycle of sixty years’ worth of Inner Strength transmitted to you by someone?"

He hadn’t entered a demonic trance, yet his Inner Strength had surged uncontrollably, something she had only seen once in her lifetime!

That was his senior brother!

Her senior brother, Zhou Mu, had been practicing martial arts on the mountain during his youth when his inner strength suddenly surged. Not only did he injure several sect members who were practicing with him, but even she, who was slacking off to the side, was not spared and was sent flying a great distance!

It was only because their master arrived in time and expended a great deal of effort to disperse the surplus inner strength that her senior brother could not assimilate, thereby preventing a major disaster!

What is the situation now? Surely, it can’t be what she is thinking, can it?

Blood dripped drop by drop from her mouth, and Yue Xilou’s figure was as tragically beautiful as a painting. Hearing this, she nodded slightly without denial...

He indeed had a cycle of sixty years’ worth of inner strength passed on to him by someone else...

"If you can’t disperse the surplus inner strength, you will die from body explosion, right? Right? I’ll go find my senior brother for help!" Borjigin Nian thought of what the master had once said and suddenly stamped her feet anxiously.

"It’s too late..." Yue Xilou supported Gu Changsheng to stand upright and shook his head as he spoke.

"What do you mean? Flower Peacock, you better not scare me!" Ignoring the pain vibrating through his body, Gu Changsheng grabbed the sleeve of Yue Xilou’s robe, his face full of tension as he spoke.

What is this cycle of sixty years’ worth of inner strength? It sounds very profound!

But dying from a body explosion sounds even more terrifying!

Yue Xilou looked down at Gu Changsheng beside him, chuckled, raised his hand to ruffle her hair, and teasingly said, "Lucky you, girl!"

Having said this, without even giving Gu Changsheng a chance to react, he unexpectedly struck a precise and accurate point on the back of her neck!

Caught completely off guard by the sudden attack, Gu Changsheng’s body immediately went limp, and she fell toward Yue Xilou.

Yue Xilou extended an arm, catching her effortlessly...

"What are you doing!" Seeing this, Borjigin Nian was terribly frightened and tried to approach, but the rampant inner strength emanating from Yue Xilou repelled her to the side.

Clearly, Borjigin Nian was not as fortunate as Gu Changsheng; without anyone to support her, she crashed into a nearby wall with a "bang."

"Snap!"

A delicate short crossbow was thrown to the ground in front of Borjigin Nian, who lay askew, lifting her head in shock and confusion.

"You’re Zhou Mu’s junior sister, aren’t you?" Yue Xilou, still with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, asked indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian nodded blankly, her face full of confusion.

"Since that’s the case, you should know how to use that short crossbow, right?" Yue Xilou’s mouth curved slightly, asking again.

Borjigin Nian was almost dazzled by his faintly smiling countenance and hurriedly nodded.

"Then you had better aim carefully! I’m transmitting power to the girl. If something goes wrong midway, then you should shoot an arrow toward..." Yue Xilou said, then looked down at the woman who had fainted in his arms, slowly curling his lips...

Seeing this, Borjigin Nian widened her eyes in terror, shaking her head in disbelief...

She would never kill her own friend!

Absolutely not!

Not even in death!

As Borjigin Nian continued to shake her head in refusal, Yue Xilou slowly raised his other hand, pointing to his temple, "Then shoot here instead! Remember to aim well! I can hardly bear pain!"

Having said this, Yue Xilou didn’t even give Borjigin Nian a chance to retort. He picked up Gu Changsheng and turned toward the high platform in the middle of the Quiet Room...

"Don’t! Don’t take such a risk!" Caught off guard by this unexpected turn of events, Borjigin Nian grabbed the short crossbow from the ground, her face fraught with urgent concern as she crawled toward the Quiet Room...

However, Yue Xilou’s steps did not halt, his feet firmly climbing the steps!

Borjigin Nian watched as the two of them gradually approached the platform as high as a person, tears gathering in her deep eyes, and she slowly shook her head.

These steps undoubtedly led to a path of death!

Defying Heaven to transmit power was a life-and-death risk!

The one who didn’t die would be either the one transmitting the power or the one receiving it! Otherwise, both would perish!

The chance of life in this life-or-death gamble was too faint. Looking across the Itinerant World, it was nearly non-existent!

To say it’s a risk of dying nine out of ten times doesn’t truly capture that it’s essentially a certainty of no return! freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Therefore, between Yue Xilou and Gu Changsheng, only one could survive!

The one who lived would have greatly increased cultivation, and the one who died would have no chance of revival!

And Yue Xilou had chosen to be the one who died...

"Yue Xilou, please don’t do this! There must be another way..." Borjigin Nian watched the resolute figure on the steps, her heart aching suddenly, as she called out through tears.

In truth, there were no other options left...

She was repelled by the rampant inner strength emanating from Yue Xilou and couldn’t get close. If they delayed any longer, he too would not escape a body explosion death...

Having hurried over, Si Xi, Ning Er, and Kun Nu stopped at the entrance of the Quiet Room, their faces panic-stricken as they watched the three people inside...

Yue Xilou paused slightly atop the steps, slightly lowered his head, and after a while, spoke faintly, "Tell Zhou Mu for me, take good care of those two old goods. I never insisted on seeing them while alive, nor will I after death..."

"What he owes me, I will collect in the next life!"
