Free Web NovelChapter 1722: Chapter 1332: Fighting at the Drop of a Hat!
As someone who’s been through it and an outsider, the Medicine Immortal Old Man sees clearly the entanglement between Gu Changsheng, Zhou Mu, and Shi Wujue, so there’s no need to mention his schadenfreude!
The Medicine Immortal Old Man sees clearly, but Diao Chan is still in a fog. She didn’t understand a bit about the men’s rivalry, but the last sentence of the Medicine Immortal Old Man was crystal clear to her!
Who got hurt? Who got crippled? And she spoke so subtly?
Heavens!
This is going to be trouble!
Who are the two fighting?
One is her family’s son-in-law, and the other is someone who is significant to both her son-in-law and master. If not, Shi Wujue wouldn’t be traveling with them, right?
Watching Gu Changsheng in the room refining pills, then turning to the two fighting fiercely, Diao Chan is anxious!
What’s going on here? How could these two start fighting out of nowhere?
And it’s right when her master is refining pills behind closed doors. The timing is really coincidental; normally, when Gu Changsheng opens the furnace to refine pills, she would have said beforehand...
How did Gu Changsheng say it again?
Ah!
The Mount Tai doesn’t fall, don’t open the door; the Yellow River doesn’t dry, don’t call me!
So now, what should be done?
"What should I do? What should I do?" Diao Chan is as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, stomping her feet, worried and frowning!
To step forward and persuade?
Don’t joke about it. With her skills, she might manage on a battlefield, but if she gets involved in the scuffle between her son-in-law and Shi Wujue, she’d surely end up as cannon fodder!
It must be said, Diao Chan is sensible, hence she absolutely wouldn’t engage in such dangerous matters!
"Master! Master, please be kind, don’t worry about them fighting to the death, even if one gets hurt or crippled, it won’t end well. When my master comes out, there’ll surely be a big mess. Please hurry and go persuade them!" Unable to rely on herself, Diao Chan could only put her hopes on the Medicine Immortal Old Man.
The Medicine Immortal Old Man shook his head upon hearing this, "This matter, can’t blame this old one for standing idly by; this matter has nothing to do with this old one! They fight, they compete, they seize, this old one won’t join in such excitement!"
At this point, the Medicine Immortal Old Man smacked his forehead, feigned sudden realization, and jumped up saying, "Well, Yu Lianyi is still lying in the room; if this old one leaves for a while and that girl bites the dust, it’ll be a problem! This old one should go back to look after her; when these two determine the victor, remember to inform this old one!"
After these words were spoken, the Medicine Immortal Old Man clapped his hands and left without a trace!
Watching the Medicine Immortal Old Man’s departing figure, Diao Chan stomped her feet helplessly!
Then looking at Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue fighting, limited by the guesthouse’s small terrain with buildings obstructing them on all sides, even though they were trying to suppress themselves, there was still quite a commotion, attracting a lot of onlookers...
"Bang!"
With a palm strike separating Shi Wujue’s attack, Zhou Mu, looking like a divine residence, was full of helplessness. He wanted to speak, but Shi Wujue in his anger left him no chance!
Moreover, more and more people were watching, and this was indeed not the place for speaking!
With no other choice, Zhou Mu feigned a move, retreated, and fled outside the guesthouse...
Furious beyond reasoning, Shi Wujue saw Zhou Mu retreat without battle; how could he let it go?
Driven by anger, Shi Wujue lost his sanity, and without hesitation, he used his inner strength to pursue...
In the blink of an eye, the two of them turned into two small black dots, disappearing over the eaves, out of sight from countless people watching the excitement within the guesthouse!
"City Lord! City Lord!"
Duo Shu watched his hall master chase Zhou Mu’s departing figure, stomping his feet fiercely!
What should be done?
How did things suddenly escalate into a fight?
Earlier, hindered by Zhou Mu’s presence, he couldn’t approach his master, only seeing his master happily conversing with Zhou Mu. But the happy conversation didn’t last long before a disagreement led to a fight!
What’s there to say?
Clearly along the way, he had already discussed with his master, once they returned, they’d open the altar to declare to heaven and earth to investigate why Gu Changsheng’s image appeared upon the bright moon...
Now they’re back, but initially guarded by Zhou Mu, though now not guarded, they’re fighting...
Shaking his head, Duo Shu struggled to hide his worry, silently following behind the two disappeared figures, pursuing them...
Men’s rivalry? Will they inevitably have to decide life and death?
The words of the Medicine Immortal Old Man, he heard them clearly!
His own Hall Master wanted to have a showdown with Zhou Mu, a battle between men. As a subordinate, Duo Shu had nothing to say. However, if it really came down to life and death, the one who must survive had to be his own master. Duo Shu had been displeased with Crown Prince Mu of Great Zhou for a long time!
Why not seize this opportunity to deal with it thoroughly?
After all, a man’s duel is a fair fight, and the outcome can swing either way...
While plotting secretly in his mind about various ways to harm Zhou Mu, Duo Shu chased after the direction where the two had left...
On the other hand, Diao Chan, charged with leading the Dark Night Army to protect Gu Changsheng, naturally couldn’t leave easily. Seeing this, he was even more anxious!
Thinking again about what the Medicine Immortal Old Man said before leaving, he couldn’t help but feel more uneasy!
"Godfather, that Fourth Auntie Grandma, what if only one of them, son-in-law and Shi Wujue, comes back? If indeed only one comes back alive, how can I explain to the master?"
Despite his inner anxiety, Diao Chan, hindered by his lack of skill, could only hover outside the room where Gu Changsheng was refining pills, turning into a spinning top, circling and hesitantly mumbling...
"Should I knock on the door, or not?"
If I knock, I’ll interrupt the master’s pill refining, and I’ll definitely get reprimanded!
And the master has always been fierce, especially towards us, he definitely won’t let it go easily. I really can’t bear the thought of the master’s scolding!
But if I don’t go in, what if something happens to son-in-law and Shi Wujue? What to do then?
Although the words from the Medicine Immortal Old Man sounded like a scare tactic, isn’t it always the way that just when you’re unprepared, something goes wrong?
What if something happens?
Just as Diao Chan was about to wear a big hole in the entrance to the pill refining room, the tightly closed door finally opened from the inside!
The moment the door opened, a thick medicinal aroma wafted out from inside!
The first moment Diao Chan smelled the medicinal aroma, his burly body shuddered!
Without pause, he charged like lightning towards the person who had just stepped out the door...
Gu Changsheng, holding a porcelain vial in one hand and a medicine jar full of black ointment in the other, kicked the door open when she saw a figure like a small mountain rushing straight at her with urgency that seemed like a matter of life and death...
"Diao Chan! You stop right there!"
Without hesitation, a stern shout came from Gu Changsheng’s mouth!
With that stern shout, Gu Changsheng didn’t hesitate at all. The foot he had used to kick open the door was now placed in front of him to block Diao Chan’s burly charge!
"Master..."
Diao Chan, blocked by Gu Changsheng’s foot, unable to move forward, was so frustrated he was about to cry!
Seeing Diao Chan’s anxious, tearless expression, Gu Changsheng’s brow furrowed slightly. She shifted the medicines she held protectively behind her and warned with a glare, "You better behave! I’ve been cooped up, working hard in smoke and fire to make these medicines, and if they get ruined because of you, do you believe I’ll throw you into the little servant house to serve guests?"
Heaven bless her, her swift actions saved her painstakingly refined medicine from being wasted by Diao Chan’s charge!
Yu Lianyi, deeply troubled, was pregnant and unable to undergo surgery, so Gu Changsheng had no choice but to deplete countless costly ingredients to make these life-saving internal and external medicines. If they were ruined by Diao Chan’s recklessness, she wouldn’t have anywhere to cry!
This was to save Yu Lianyi’s life!
If something went wrong, it would mean both their lives!
Heaven have mercy, fortunately, her quick reaction saved two lives, and she hoped Buddha would take note of her big achievement, favor her a bit in the future, and protect her from such calamities!
"Master! Something terrible has happened!" Blocked by his master’s foot, Diao Chan helplessly stopped his charge, stomped anxiously, and spoke.
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help sneering, "Ever since I met you, it’s never been good!"
This was the opening line!
This was the expression, the style!
Every once in a while, Gu Changsheng had to hear this trite line one or two times from the people around her, who never seemed to change despite her protests!
Have you ever seen someone curse their master like this?
Always saying things won’t be good, even when everything’s fine, they insist on speaking ill of it!
"Master, this time it’s not a joke!" Diao Chan grew more anxious upon hearing this.
"Every time, you say the same thing!" Clearly, Gu Changsheng was all too familiar with this excuse.
"Master, this time something really has gone wrong!" Diao Chan stomped his foot.
