Gu Changsheng moved the hand covering her face slightly to create a small gap, and her eyes opened just as cautiously, still sowhat apprehensive, as she glanced nervously toward the edge of the bed...
"Disciple, you’re awake?"
Again with this line!
"Ugh..."
Gu Changsheng was rendered speechless!
This ti she could see clearly, right in front of her was indeed that stubborn Old Man!
With his grey hair, grey eyebrows, grey beard...
He was undeniably the dicine Immortal Old Man, no doubt about it!
"Disciple, this old man has already prepared the water for you to wash up. If you’ve slept enough, hurry up and get up!" The dicine Immortal Old Man, with a flourish, produced a clean brocade handkerchief on his arm, his old face blooming like a chrysanthemum, glowing with health...
Gu Changsheng resignedly opened her eyes, looking at the Old Man before her, face ashen with dismay...
Upon seeing the brocade handkerchief draped over his arm, she promptly reached out and snatched it away!
What a joke!
This old man was already 120 years old, having him serve her for washing up? Gu Changsheng figured that would surely shorten her lifespan!
Indeed, this old man was just sent by the monkeys to ss with her! No explanation needed!
Wearing her sleeping clothes, she energetically leaped off the bed like a carp, seeing the dicine Immortal Old Man trying to remove her shoes, Gu Changsheng’s Phoenix Eyes squinted instantly, her feet moved swiftly, the shoes already slipped on, not giving the old man any chance to shorten her lifespan!
Hmph!
Did they think she was stupid?
She would never let this old man have his way!
Hmph!
Gu Changsheng donned her outer garnt, angrily looked at the old man before her, spoke in a disbelieving tone, "Old Man, I’m a woman! Not one with a handle, you get it? I’m not married yet, it’s really inappropriate for you to show up in my bedroom like this, isn’t it?"
My goodness, Gu Changsheng questioned, she herself was already very unconventional, but this old man was even more so!
He actually shattered the latch of her bedroom door and barged in!
Damn it!
The pile of wood chips at the door was evidence!
This old rascal who sneaked a peek at a woman sleeping!
"No worries, no worries! Disciple, it’s better if you never get married, the handso n around the world are waiting for you to choose, whoever you choose, this old man will carry him over to you, make sure they don’t run away!" Hearing this, the dicine Immortal Old Man pounded his chest and assured her.
Gu Changsheng was already at a loss for words against his vague reassurances.
Fine!
One mountain is taller than another, who knew she would encounter such a high master?
Just accept it!
She couldn’t defeat him!
She might as well resign herself to washing up!
Thinking this, Gu Changsheng walked towards the washbasin with clean water, glanced at the old man following closely behind, froze in her actions, but couldn’t help asking, "Old Man, aren’t you afraid of people gossiping about your personal life? Aren’t you afraid of being drowned in people’s saliva? That could really tarnish your image as a reclusive master! For real!"
Sir, you should give up already!
Spare her so dignity!
Hallelujah!
The dicine Immortal Old Man, upon hearing this, a serious expression flashed across his healthful old face, he solemnly spoke, "Last night, this old man was tossing and turning restlessly, thinking all night and unable to sleep..."
Gu Changsheng listened to his introduction and looked again at his fresh face without any signs of puffiness, involuntarily rolled her eyes at the ceiling.
Blow!
Keep blowing!
No dark circles even a milliter wide, and he claims he was tossing and turning?
Who would believe that?
Anyway, she’s not buying it!
"Then I analyzed the pros and cons, thought it over deeply, and still felt that I couldn’t not accept you as a disciple. The lineage is as important as the heavens, and the dicine King Valley’s legacy should definitely not end in my hands! Let others say whatever they like, there’s hardly anyone who dares to speak to my face, and if they do, I’ll just punch them back! It’s that simple!" The dicine Immortal Old Man spoke with utter conviction, nodding his head and defiantly raising his fist...
"..." Hearing this, Gu Changsheng imdiately raised her hand to her forehead, speechless and choked up.
Oh my gosh!
That’s just so straightforward and effective!
She was rendered speechless...
Gu Changsheng really wanted to cry...
The dicine Immortal Old Man saw her like this, imdiately leaned closer, speaking cautiously in a low voice, "Disciple, let confide in you, I’m afraid..."
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng furrowed her brows at once, looking at the old man in front of her with a puzzled expression, "What are you afraid of? Tell ! What is it that’s making you so determined to accept as your disciple? Tell , and I’ll go and deal with them!"
Rolling up her sleeves, she was really getting pushed to the edge!
"Afraid of facing the ancestors of dicine King Valley!" Upon hearing this, the dicine Immortal Old Man spoke at once.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s action of rolling up her sleeves froze instantly.
Good grief!
Ghosts!
Then what’s the point of fighting?
She got worked up in vain!
Seeing Gu Changsheng’s expression, the dicine Immortal Old Man imdiately knew what she was thinking, leaned in even closer, and said in a low voice, "What’s there to fear about ghosts? Once you’re dead, it’s over, and as a ghost, I wouldn’t fear the ghosts of ancestors coming to seek revenge. I’m not afraid of ghosts, I’m afraid of humans!"
"Humans? Didn’t you just say the ancestors of dicine King Valley?" Gu Changsheng glared.
"Yes, ancestors! Let’s not talk about distant ones; let’s talk about my own master. I don’t even know if he’s dead, and you know, as doctors, we are most skilled in self-cultivation, and my master is also a freak beyond compare. He quietly left dicine King Valley when I beca a master, whether dead or alive, I have no idea..." The dicine Immortal Old Man rubbed his hands and babbled cautiously, "You can’t imagine how twisted my master is..."
"I can imagine..." Gu Changsheng replied dumbfoundedly, interrupting with a blank expression.
Having a disciple as twisted as the dicine Immortal Old Man, his master surely is not less twisted, but more...
Seeing her interrupt, the dicine Immortal Old Man rolled his eyes at her, continued in a low voice, "My master is really cruel, he had so many ways to tornt people, my childhood was truly dark! So, if my master is still alive, if he knows that the lineage of dicine King Valley is going to end with , he will definitely co back for ! Then I will truly wish I were dead rather than alive, it’d be utterly miserable!"
The dicine Immortal Old Man spoke here with a pitiful, about-to-cry expression, "So you see, there’s bitterness in my heart! I just don’t speak it! Unable to find a well-qualified successor for dicine King Valley, I can’t die, don’t dare die, can’t afford to die! Disciple, can you understand the bitterness in my heart?"
Upon hearing the Old Man’s question, Gu Changsheng decisively shook her head, "I really want to understand..."
The dicine Immortal Old Man’s old eyes lit up instantly.
But Gu Changsheng continued promptly, "If you weren’t forcing to be your disciple, I really could understand the bitterness in your heart!"
Darn it, being forced into apprenticeship and saddled with a master like this, she is the one truly suffering, isn’t she?
"Disciple! How can you say that! My master is really really cruel, if he’s alive, I would really really live and die from not finding a successor!" The dicine Immortal Old Man got anxious upon hearing this.
"**** bird’s business? Anyway, I’m not going to be your disciple, just give up already!" Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes, determined not to yield, reached into the water basin, and scooped up a handful of clean water to start washing...
"Disciple, you can’t just stand by and do nothing!"
"Disciple, pity and make your master!"
"Disciple, if you agree to be my disciple, I promise, whatever you say goes, I’ll do whatever you want, if you want to go east, I will never go west, if you want to hit a dog, I will never chase a chicken, disciple..."
"..."
Under the relentless bombardnt of the Old Man’s voice, Gu Changsheng finished washing, went to the dining hall for breakfast, and then went to the backyard to check on Beauty Sai, knowing that today’s surgery would definitely proceed as planned!
Thus, she imdiately started getting busy!
She found a spacious room, ventilated, sprinkled li for disinfection and dehumidification, then gathered the seventeen people with matching blood types with Beauty Sai, prepared for blood collection. While she was doing all this, the dicine Immortal Old Man was persistently buzzing around, never stopping his relentless voice...
"Old Man, what exactly do you see in to make your disciple? Tell , I’ll change if necessary." Unable to bear it anymore, Gu Changsheng finally erupted. She was turned almost lifeless by the dicine Immortal Old Man.
Upon hearing this, the dicine Immortal Old Man imdiately lowered his head, solemnly thought for a mont, then seriously said, "Everything! All! Everything!"
Upon hearing these six words, Gu Changsheng suddenly deflated. Well, this really was beyond her ability to respond, but she couldn’t just give up, could she? She had to make a final stand!
"Old Man, do you believe that I can at any second eviscerate myself right in front of you to prove my determination? I won’t be your disciple! Won’t! Won’t! Important things are said thrice, did you hear clearly? Huh? Huh? Huh?"
The dicine Immortal Old Man was a bit dazed by Gu Changsheng’s shout, then dumbfoundedly shook his head and muttered, "I heard... but you can rest assured about eviscerating yourself, I’ll stitch your belly up like this and like that to make sure you don’t die, but whether you’d end up half-dead, well, I can’t promise that, but under my care, you absolutely won’t die, I won’t ruin the dical Immortal’s reputation! Keeping you alive is still alive! Disciple, go ahead and cut..."
