Free Web NovelChapter 1728: Chapter 1338: How Can Both Sides Be Satisfied?
However, even though he was threatened and felt very reluctant, the Medical Immortal Old Man still shuffled in the direction Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue had gone...
But, the look on his old face was so full of misery, it was imaginable...
"Changsheng kid, if those two really get into a heated fight, I can’t guarantee to bring them both back alive. If one of them doesn’t make it, don’t blame me for being incompetent!" The Medical Immortal Old Man took a couple of steps, then turned back, wearing a face of profound grievance and said, and before Gu Changsheng could look down on him, he pointed at Gu Changsheng with a preemptive strike and said, "Don’t say I’m not cowardly! I am cowardly! I’m just incompetent! At my age, do you think living is easy? I treasure my life greatly!"
Gu Changsheng heard the Medical Immortal Old Man cursing her evildoer and Shi Wujue, and she intended to scold him back. However, before she could even get a word in, the Medical Immortal Old Man’s next words stuffed them back in!
The anger in her heart was overwhelming, yet she had no idea what to say!
Just as the Medical Immortal Old Man said, if her evildoer and Shi Wujue do get really angry and fight to the death, even the Medical Immortal Old Man might not truly be able to stop them...
Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng’s little heart was trembling with anxiety!
While Gu Changsheng was anxious, the Medical Immortal Old Man had already pursed his lips, tapped the ground in frustration, and flew straight to the guesthouse’s wall. Gu Changsheng came back to her senses, only to hear the disgruntled voice of the Medical Immortal Old Man left behind...
"Ah! Outside Yanmen Pass, it’s the prairie! Who knows how far those two troublesome brats have fought, my poor legs, they’ll probably get worn out..."
Gu Changsheng sneered at the complaints of the Medical Immortal Old Man. With his cultivation, he wouldn’t even need his legs to chase someone, would he?
Clearly, these words were meant for her to hear!
Yet, the words of the Medical Immortal Old Man obviously did not change the shock that his previous statement had brought to Gu Changsheng...
At this moment, upon seeing the departure of the Medical Immortal Old Man, Diao Chan, who was originally worried that her master might sell her out, sprang out of nowhere. With a slightly sleazy demeanor, she looked around as if checking whether the Medical Immortal Old Man had gone far, and as she looked, she said to her master, "Sir, do you think our son-in-law and Shi Wujue are really going to fight?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng shot a cold glance at Diao Chan!
This wooden club, always mentioning what isn’t helpful at all!
Can’t she see I’m in a pinch here?
Shivered by her master’s cold glare, Diao Chan, with a face as rugged as a man’s, immediately put on a fawning smile and flatteringly said, "It’s alright, sir, no need to worry. Even if our son-in-law and Shi Wujue really fight to the end, it’s fine..."
"Hmm?" Gu Changsheng responded absentmindedly.
Seeing this, Diao Chan got even more enthusiastic. Her ingratiating expression intensified, making her seem even sleazier, and she said to her apparently pleased master, "Sir, think about it, even if they fight to the death, at least one will survive, right?"
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng was stunned as if struck by lightning...
Her brilliant eyes, dark as ink, rotated stiffly, looking woodenly at Diao Chan’s smug face, taking a while to recover her ability to speak from the shock. Finally, she said, stammering, "What do you mean there’s at least one alive?"
These words indeed sounded rather peculiar!
"I mean, it’s not like you, sir, are really going to end up a widow at the gates. Surely, you’ll get married again, sir, you don’t have to worry..."
"Boom!"
"Ah!"
Before Diao Chan could finish her sentence, Gu Changsheng’s foot uncontrollably lifted and gave Diao Chan a fierce kick in the butt!
"Diao Chan, come here, let’s have a life-and-death fight. I’ve wanted to kill you for a long time!"
The sound of grit teeth came from Gu Changsheng’s mouth. In her phoenix eyes, the flames of anger were burning, the little flames about to leap out from her eyes!
Oh Godfather, Fourth Auntie Grandma, who can tell her why such a wonderfully clever person like her, Gu Changsheng, would have someone as unbelievably dumb as Diao Chan around?
Hmm?
Isn’t she sent by heaven to annoy her to death?
What do you mean at least one is alive? It’s said with so much relief, as if hoping for one to die!
Who does she want dead?
Is it her own evildoer?
Or is it Shi Wujue?
Regardless of who it is, it’s something that should never be thought of. Not to mention dying, even if either of them gets slightly hurt, wouldn’t Gu Changsheng have to come back to clean up the mess?
One is her fiancé, the other is her lifesaver who has saved her multiple times. You tell me, who can run away?
"My lord! My lord shouldn’t act like this! I’m just joking! Don’t take it seriously!"
Upon seeing her master brimming with rage and charging toward her, Diao Chan let out a wail and sprang up like a carp, leaping off the ground and ran off!
Ridiculous!
If she doesn’t run now, she’d really be a wooden club!
Teach disciples, kill the master. Diao Chan and the others in the Dark Night Army, after all, were all personally trained by Gu Changsheng. Their escape skills are quite something!
Diao Chan running in the front, Gu Changsheng chasing at the back!
The guesthouse is neither big nor small; half of it is occupied by the Dark Night Army, the other half by the Northern Mongolian Honor Guard and members of the Hidden World Clan. Like a mudfish, Diao Chan completely ignored the presence of the other two groups, weaving through the originally discontented three parties to the areas with more people...
She scooted around and occasionally turned back to smile at Gu Changsheng...
Though named Diao Chan, her looks really don’t do justice to the name. Her face was rougher than a man’s, almost like a man’s to the point of having a beard; her backward glance...
Truly, there wasn’t any enchanting charm, only the shock of gods and ghosts!
Twice, Gu Changsheng was almost floored by Diao Chan’s smile, headlong to the ground...
That grin, honestly too bizarre, too infuriating!
"Diao Chan, you’re bullying me because I just returned and my inner strength hasn’t recovered yet!"
Having chased for so long without catching her, and after running a few laps under the watchful eyes of the Northern Mongolian Honor Guard and the Hidden World Clan members, Gu Changsheng was getting annoyed!
"My lord, you taught us that soft persimmons should be pinched because it’s comfortable!"
Diao Chan said while running.
Gu Changsheng’s steps faltered again...
Buried! Buried! This is absolutely buried thoroughly now!
If time could rewind, if it were possible...
Gu Changsheng would definitely reshape her brilliant image, never let whimsy become habitual. Look at how these whimsical words reflect back on her now?
This is truly having grievances with no place to speak!
Diao Chan observed the persistently chasing silhouette behind her. A touch of contemplative expression flashed on her rough face. When Gu Changsheng was exhausted and nearly collapsing, leaning against a wall without being able to move, Diao Chan hesitated, ambled, dozed off step-by-step, returning...
Stretching out a hand to support her master’s arm, she spoke seriously with a straightforward expression on her rough face, "My lord, you were out for two days and the dark circles are already heavy. Judging by your state upon return, it seems the two days weren’t smooth. It’s time to go back and rest..."
Exhausted almost like a hound, Gu Changsheng, upon hearing these words, immediately shot Diao Chan a glare, snorted coldly, refusing to engage!
"My lord, don’t think too much. Go back and rest. The Medicine Immortal Old Man has gone, and both your son-in-law and Shi Wujue will be fine. Their men’s matters are really not for you to intervene..." Receiving her master’s glare, Diao Chan’s rough face showed some embarrassment, meekly speaking, then supported Gu Changsheng, headed for the room already prepared for her...
Without closing her eyes for two days, not only that, she spent it in constant alert battles. From the trip to the Valley of Forgetfulness, Gu Changsheng genuinely exhausted all her energy. Initially worried about Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue encountering trouble, but after Diao Chan’s antics, Gu Changsheng was even more drained, yielding to her support toward her own room...
"Diao Chan, do you think there’s a method to have it both ways in this world?"
Inside the room, letting Diao Chan with rather unkind and blunt actions toss her into the big bath tub, Gu Changsheng leaned with closed eyes against the tub’s edge, speaking in a somewhat forlorn manner, "Actually, I really don’t like owing people anything, nor do I want to hurt anyone..."
The person her master referred to was already clear to Diao Chan, who saw her master’s rather forlorn expression, a thoughtful glint in her eyes, then chuckled softly, speaking in a teasing manner, "My lord, what are you dreaming about? You’re already better off than anyone standing even higher, yet thinking about being better off? That’s not right; you should leave some space for others to live!"
Gu Changsheng, hearing Diao Chan’s words, first froze, then turned her fair arm to splash water toward Diao Chan, angrily booming, "Scram! You, scram! Seeing you makes me ache!"
"Scram then..." Hearing the words, Diao Chan awkwardly scratched her nose, turned around, headed toward the door, while walking, quietly grumbling, "Egg ache... Trying to say my lord has eggs or something, really..."
"Face is also an egg! Get out!"
The shout exploded behind Diao Chan, accompanied by the pressure from Gu Changsheng’s presence...
Listening to the tone, Diao Chan could tell her lord was on the brink of erupting; her tiger-like body trembled immediately...
