Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 627 - 474: A Storm is Brewing

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng, who was about to leave with his Little Meat Bun in tow, stopped in his tracks. He turned his head back uncertainly towards Little Monk Bu Jie, who always looked kind and beneficent, and then glanced outside at the darkening sky. The corner of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

"What’s Yuan Bao doing here at this time?" Gu Changsheng blinked his big eyes and asked.

Damn right, no need to doubt it!

Past experience told her that whenever Little Monk Bu Jie mentioned they had a guest, that guest was certainly Yuan Bao without a doubt!

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but lower their heads and chuckle to themselves!

Look, now whenever Little Monk Bu Jie utters these words, his Lady Changsheng immediately understands!

"Amitabha, this monk does not know!" Little Monk Bu Jie, upon being asked, chanted a Buddhist scripture and replied unhurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng, still leading Little Meat Bun, doubled back to sit on the couch, confused, "It’s already dark outside, Yuan Bao that foodie can’t even make it for dinner anymore, so what is he doing here? Just looking to have a casual chat with me?"

"Lady Changsheng! You really shouldn’t speak ill of someone behind their back like that!"

No sooner had Gu Changsheng’s words fallen than a reluctant voice of complaint sounded from outside the door.

In a blink, Yuan Bao’s plump figure appeared at the entrance of the hall!

"Oh my, I’m exhausted! Let me catch my breath! Let me catch my breath! Xiao Leizi, is there any food left?" Holding the doorframe, Yuan Bao panted heavily as he spoke.

"Pfft!" Gu Changsheng burst into laughter upon hearing this, collapsing into giggles on the couch while cradling his own Little Meat Bun. He pointed at Yuan Bao with a trembling hand, "I told you! I told you! Calling you a foodie is definitely no insult! It’s a fact! Ha ha..."

Yuan Bao’s face turned sheepish as he lowered his head, but the next moment, upon seeing the tray Dong Lei was carrying, his eyes suddenly lit up!

Rushing towards Dong Lei like a starving ghost reborn, he snatched the food, no longer appearing as winded as before!

Princess Nian Borjigin, standing to one side, couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth, tried to hold back, but couldn’t, "Look at you, so lacking in ambition!"

"Princess Nian, ah, the food Xiao Leizi makes is delicious, don’t you think?" Yuan Bao gobbled down the food, speaking between bites, "Besides, Lady Changsheng once said that you need to be full before you have the energy to lose weight!"

At this, Princess Nian Borjigin was left speechless and could only support her forehead. The first part she couldn’t refute—Xiao Leizi really did make delicious food!

But to be full before you have energy to lose weight?

Princess Nian turned her head to look at Gu Changsheng, Oh my God!

Her senior brother’s personal Little Eunuch, just as Gu Changsheng had said, truly was a foodie Xiao Er Que!

Gu Changsheng was clearly setting him up, yet he foolishly took it for the truth!

This poor child!

"Little Monk Bu Jie, I’ve often wondered, are you and Yuan Bao especially empathetic? How come every time he comes, you can give such high-energy alerts?" Watching Yuan Bao devour his food forgetfully, Gu Changsheng shook her head with amusement as she turned to Little Monk Bu Jie and laughed.

If it wasn’t for the fact that one was a young monk and the other was a eunuch, Gu Changsheng would almost suspect that it was a downright love affair!

Haha, such a beautiful image, she dared not watch!

"Amitabha!" Hearing this, Little Monk Bu Jie gave Gu Changsheng a look as if he saw through everything, then turned and walked out.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng was immediately tongue-tied. Pointing to the retreating figure of Little Monk Bu Jie, she turned to her family members and opened her Phoenix Eyes wide, "Hey hey! Flower Peacock, Hetian, Nian, did you see that? Did you see that? The Little Monk just rolled his eyes at me!" ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"Mm-hm! Saw it!" Princess Nian Borjigin immediately nodded.

Zhou Zongbao also nodded with certainty!

The Master of Yue Xilou lightly swayed his folding fan, raising his eyebrows in agreement!

"Godfather! This is a big deal, our own Little Monk has actually started rolling his eyes!" Holding Little Meat Bun, Gu Changsheng exclaimed with stunned surprise, "Son, do you think the Little Monk is longing for a secular life, wanting to return to lay status?"

Little Meat Bun promptly rolled his eyes in response, "Mother, you think too much! It’s clear he’s about to be driven mad by the fence!"

With this, Little Meat Bun couldn’t help but pout and continued, "Mother, you don’t know, the Little Monk is really dumb! He can’t even plane a piece of wood properly! A perfectly straight piece of wood, and he managed to plane it crooked! He’s even dumber than me by far!"

"Hehe..." Hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but laugh.

The rest of the family also began to laugh softly, for Little Monk Bu Jie’s serious contest with a piece of wood was well known throughout the mansion, becoming a scene second only to Gu Changsheng making sachets!

Furthermore, the lengthy duration of his struggle and the minimal results were truly astonishing!

"Wonder if Shang Xie will be able to fix that fence by New Year’s..." Zhou Zongbao started mischievously, "I’m sure he’s going to spend New Year among the wooden shavings!"

Don’t blame him for schadenfreude! He was blocked by Shang Xie quite a few times and held grudges!

At this, Gu Changsheng raised her eyebrows noncommittally.

Actually, she had been quite annoyed with Zhou Zongbao recently because that fellow kept following her, asking if he could see his Xiao Qiu since the New Year was approaching!

Damn it, Xiao Qiu was clearly hers!

"Lady Changsheng, I’m full!" By her side, Yuan Bao came over, wiping his mouth and letting out a satisfied burp before speaking.

Seeing him like this, Gu Changsheng laughed again, "You’ve got energy after eating, so spill it! What’s so important that you’ve come running here on such a cold night?"

At her words, Yuan Bao’s face immediately fell, and he looked at her nervously before speaking, "Lady Changsheng, why did you have to beat up Di Lanyue?"

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng shrugged, "I actually intended to kill her, but my foster father stopped me, didn’t he?"

"You might as well have killed her to end all the trouble! It wouldn’t have brought disaster upon me!" Yuan Bao muttered, touching his nose in response.

"What happened? She went and troubled you?" Gu Changsheng’s spirits lifted instantly, and she looked at Yuan Bao with eager anticipation.

Yuan Bao’s face immediately turned grave, "Indeed, she came to the County Prince’s Mansion with internal injuries and just refused to leave! Not only causing havoc throughout the mansion, but her voice could also almost lift the roof off!"

"Haha..." Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but laugh unkindly at his words.

"Gu Changsheng, you’re laughing! You don’t know my senior sister! She can be so unreasonable!" Borjigin Nian knocked Gu Changsheng, pouting as she spoke, "Don’t think that hitting her once will make her back down! Let me tell you, that’s not going to happen! Her obsession with my senior brother runs deep; she’s bound to make a comeback with a vengeance and never let it go!"

"I’m already terrified of her relentless skills that won’t leave anyone alone! I always try to avoid her when possible because I can’t afford to provoke her."

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng chuckled lightly, "In that case, I’ve only got one thing to say: let her come at me! It could at least add some entertainment, couldn’t it?"

Damn it, saying she beat up Di Lanyue was an exaggeration!

She didn’t even touch half a finger on her, did she?

Gu Changsheng always carried herself with style; how could she let such a dolt soil her hands?

What if that kind of doltishness was contagious?

"Entertainment? We can’t afford entertainment right now! Lady Changsheng, I came here because I have urgent matters to report!" Yuan Bao interrupted solemnly after hearing her comment.

Seeing his serious demeanor, Gu Changsheng’s expression became severe, "What is it?"

Don’t blame her for being anxious!

Under her management, the Liuzhou Region had been calm and peaceful for a long time. She was genuinely dedicated to its governance, fearing any blunders that would be unworthy of the evildoer’s trust!

"Lady, a large number of people from the Itinerant World are pouring into the Liuzhou Region!" Yuan Bao reported gravely after bowing his head slightly.

"People from the Itinerant World?" Gu Changsheng tensed up and sat up straight, asking in a grave voice.

"Yes!" Yuan Bao bowed his head once more in confirmation.

Yue Xilou frowned slightly and asked sternly, "Could they be from my Western Tower?"

Yuan Bao shook his head at that, "They are not people from Master Lou’s Western Tower. Master Lou’s men carry Lady Changsheng’s waist token, and they wouldn’t fail to recognize that. It’s a different large group of the Itinerant World’s People, each with their own unique skills, heading for Liuzhou City!"

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, and she spoke with a heavy tone, "The Itinerant World and the Imperial Court typically have no involvement with each other. Since I have been in charge of Liuzhou, I have had no interactions with the people of the Itinerant World. Why would such a large group of them suddenly flood into Liuzhou?"

At this, Gu Changsheng turned to Yue Xilou, "Flower Peacock, could there be some grand event in the Itinerant World that is to be held in Liuzhou City?"

Yue Xilou slowly shook her head, "No! Grand events in the Itinerant World usually take place away from the crowds, in secluded mountains. I also haven’t heard of any such event that would draw the people of the Itinerant World to gather in Liuzhou!"

"Then what is the reason for this? The people from the Itinerant World are often unruly; a large crowd can create chaos. Could it be that some enemy seeks to bring calamity to Liuzhou?" Gu Changsheng voiced her concern.

"It’s unlikely. The Liuzhou Region is the domain of Zhou Mu, and the Itinerant World respects Zhou Mu’s authority, usually avoiding this area and rarely engaging in conflict here. This situation is indeed quite peculiar," Yue Xilou reflected with a deep sense of thought.

"Lady Changsheng, what actions should we take now?" Yuan Bao asked, puzzled.

Gu Changsheng stood up and paced back and forth for a moment, speaking with a firm voice, "Stay calm for now! As is customary, the Itinerant World and the Imperial Court do not interfere with each other’s affairs. If they don’t cause trouble, our unwarranted interference might break the unwritten rules! These people are not to be trifled with, so let’s not add to the casualties unnecessarily!"

"Yes!" Yuan Bao responded softly.

"Keep a close watch on their every move. As long as they don’t harass the civilians, we will retreat three feet from any disputes within the Itinerant World and watch how things unfold!" Gu Changsheng waved Yuan Bao away, "You may go!"

Yuan Bao nodded, scampered off, and before he left, he didn’t forget to snatch a plate of pastries from the table.

Gu Changsheng paced back and forth with furrowed brows, muttering, "People from the Itinerant World? People from the Itinerant World?"

Damn it, Gu Changsheng had nothing but disdain for the term "Itinerant World" from start to finish!

Although her Flower Peacock could be considered half a person of the Itinerant World, damn it, he might very well be someone who walked the line between right and wrong!

Gu Changsheng suddenly felt a sense of impending doom as if a storm was about to hit the building...
