Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 647 - 645: Duke of Su Guo, Cheng Yaojin

Before boarding the plane, Lu Shouyue received a call from the pet hospital, telling him that Fugui survived and didn’t die.

Lin Wanwan was very happy to hear the news. She was in a hurry today, otherwise, she would have really wanted to visit Fugui to see how its injuries were.

She then called her cousin Su Yanwei, naturally entrusting him with the follow-up care.

This time, when Lin Wanwan and Lu Shouyue boarded the plane, their relationship was different, and so was their way of interacting.

From the moment they left home, Lu Shouyue held Lin Wanwan’s hand continuously, unwilling to let go for even a minute.

Was he really that happy?

Lin Wanwan was touched by his intense feelings, and she felt a subtle unease in her heart.

Returning to the little courtyard in the Ancient City, Lin Wanwan immediately separated from Lu Shouyue under the pretext of needing to study.

It was now ten in the morning. She had taken leave from Mr. Liang and had to rush to the hospital to study prescriptions with her teacher before 1:30 in the afternoon.

Three and a half hours in the modern world could be fourteen hours in the Great Tang; time was very ample. Not only could she finish the Buddhist ceremony, but she could also return to the manor. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

When she changed into ancient-style sleepwear and opened the Space-Time Gate to return to the Great Tang’s meditation room, it was already quite lively outside.

Lin Wanwan opened the door, and Hong Yan, who had been waiting by the door, resting her chin in her hands, stood up excitedly when she heard the noise: "Madam, you’re up?"

Lin Wanwan nodded and instructed: "I didn’t sleep well last night thinking about today’s Buddhist ceremony, so I slept in this morning. Come in and help me wash up."

"Yes!"

It was already the time of Si, roughly nine in the morning. The preparations for the Buddhist ceremony were almost complete, waiting for it to officially begin at the third quarter of Si. The time for Lin Wanwan to freshen up and dress was very tight.

In fact, the little monk in the temple had already come to urge her several times.

Little Monk Wengeng was quite envious of how Lin Wanwan could stay in bed so late.

This little guy, whom his parents abandoned due to his frail health, was about the same age as little Qingyu. As a little monk in the temple, he was dragged up before dawn daily for morning lessons, which was truly exhausting.

Since Lin Wanwan started staying in the meditation room, Wengeng often couldn’t help but run here because the vegetarian dishes and snacks made by Hua Nong in Lin Wanwan’s courtyard were just too delicious.

Lin Wanwan loved teasing the adorable little monk and wasn’t stingy with feeding him. After all, who could resist the charm of a human child?

After efficiently refreshing herself, Lin Wanwan donned gray and white religious attire and leisurely followed Little Monk Wengeng, who came to urge her once more, heading to the main hall for the Buddhist ceremony.

Lin Wanwan was too lazy to recall the complicated procedures of the Buddhist ceremony. Anyway, from the moment she stepped into the main hall, she was continuously instructed on what to do.

Despite the tedious protocols, the swirling incense smoke almost made her faint; it stung her eyes painfully.

Luckily, by noon, the lengthy Buddhist ceremony finally concluded, and Lin Wanwan’s vegetarian temple life could finally come to an end.

She couldn’t wait to return to the meditation room to take off her religious attire, change into a particularly bright pomegranate-red skirt, apply some makeup, and left charmingly.

If they wanted her to truly become a nun, that was impossible!

Just as Lin Wanwan, wearing a veiled hat and accompanied by her servants, was heading out in a grand procession, she encountered many young lads of the Great Tang who had come to the temple for a spring outing.

The people of Chang’an were genuinely enthusiastic and uninhibited; even in the temple, quietness wasn’t observed.

This group of young lads in bright clothes, at the peak of their spirits, each held a sword, sparring and competing on the temple’s grassy field.

Lin Wanwan merely glanced back at them, and a young man in a round-collared brocade robe strode towards her briskly, causing a commotion around him.

The young man in brocade finally stopped two meters in front of Lin Wanwan, and with hands clasped he greeted her and introduced himself: "Lin Le’an, I am Gu Rui from Wu County, courtesy name Feng. I’ve long admired your name, pleased to meet you!"

Lin Wanwan looked at the young man before her, with his clear eyebrows and composed expression, and realized: "You are Gu Feng, the cousin of Zifang’s cousin?"

Gu Feng smiled slightly: "Yes, that’s me. I currently reside at the Gu Mansion in Kaihua Square. When Zifang left Chang’an, he specifically asked me to look after Lin Le’an. If Lin Le’an needs any assistance in the future, just send someone to the Gu Mansion with a note."

Lin Wanwan acknowledged with a curtsy, expressing her gratitude.

"May I ask how Mr. Gu recognized me?"

Lin Wanwan was puzzled since she was wearing a veiled hat. Although the white semi-transparent veil couldn’t completely obscure her, it was a cover.

Moreover, she didn’t usually roam outside, so how could this young man recognize her from afar?

"I have seen the portrait of Lin Le’an hanging in Zifang’s house, therefore I recognized you."

"Oh." Lin Wanwan was a bit surprised, Xiao Chong also...

While exchanging pleasantries, a burly, energetic-looking middle-aged man came rushing towards them, his steps so heavy they made the ground tremble.

The conversing Lin Wanwan and Gu Feng paused and looked towards the sound.

Lin Wanwan was naturally bewildered and didn’t know the person, but Gu Feng recognized him immediately.

"It’s him." Gu Feng murmured, looking around to see where this important figure was heading, and realized it was just him and Lin Wanwan in this area.

"It seems he’s coming towards us." Lin Wanwan was curious, "Does Mr. Gu know who he is?"

Gu Feng did not have time to answer before the middle-aged man arrived before them.

Kun Lun and Hong Yan quietly stepped forward to stand in front of Lin Wanwan, watching the approaching man cautiously.

Gu Feng stepped forward to greet him: "I am Gu Feng from Wu County, greetings to the Duke of Su Guo."

Gu Feng had not fully completed his bow before the man impatiently pushed him aside, his voice booming as he questioned Lin Wanwan: "Are you the Lin, disciple of Taoist Master Sun, known for her good medical skills?"

Duke of Su Guo, then it was the renowned Demon Lord of Mayhem, Cheng Yaojin!

Lin Wanwan was quite surprised to suddenly meet a historical figure.

Seeing Cheng Yaojin’s anxious expression and the specific mention of "good medical skills" and "disciple of Taoist Master Sun," was there perhaps a female family member critically ill?

"Yes, that is me."

"Come with me quickly." As soon as Cheng Yaojin heard Lin Wanwan confirm her identity, he was about to reach out to grab Lin Wanwan, disregarding manners. Fortunately, Hong Yan bravely blocked him.

"What’s happening? Duke of Su Guo, please speak directly." Lin Wanwan had about eighty percent of a guess but still needed to ask clearly.

"My wife is in labor, and it’s been a crisis since early morning; she hasn’t delivered yet. Several midwives have been unable to help. I heard you are very skilled in this area, please hurry to save my wife." Cheng Yaojin was straightforward, directly stating his case.

As soon as Lin Wanwan heard this, she immediately replied: "It’s been so long? Alright, I will go with Duke of Su Guo."

She quickly bowed to Gu Feng beside her, then followed Cheng Yaojin.

Fortunately, Lin Wanwan always had her medical kit kept with the servants, so there was no need to waste time retrieving it.
