Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2465: Chapter 2466: Number One Stunned

Seeing Third Master so tense, Ye Luo actually smiled.

”Senior, do I look like I’m in any trouble?”

It was only then that Third Master breathed a sigh of relief.

”That’s good. Those guys are really arrogant. Don’t worry, I’ll send someone later, or I might just come myself. I refuse to believe they would dare make a move!” Third Master said, eyes wide open.

Hearing this, Number One naturally broke into a smile. With a master like Third Master personally coming, even the Emissary would have no way out!

Moreover, would the Emissary dare to make a move against Third Master?

Third Master’s status is quite extraordinary. Even if the Emissary dares to attack the Vice Clan Leader, they probably wouldn’t dare to touch him.

”Then, I’ll trouble you, Senior!” Ye Luo immediately bowed in thanks.

With Third Master around, he would avoid many troubles and have more time to focus on cultivation.

If he could break through to the third level of the Heavenly Martial Realm, his combat power would greatly increase, boosting his confidence significantly.

”Between you and me, there’s no need for such formalities. But don’t forget some things that need attention!” Third Master advised.

Ye Luo knew he was referring to the matter of treating the Ice Princess.

Judging by the time, the day had indeed arrived.

”Don’t worry, Senior, it’s on my mind!”

Only then did Third Master nod in reassurance.

Being the person he was, naturally, he had many matters to handle. Seeing Ye Luo was fine, he quickly took his leave.

However, Number One was rubbing his hands, his eyes glowing while looking at Ye Luo.

Though he was somewhat calculating, he had too little experience and couldn’t contain his emotions at that moment.

”Young Master Ye, I never expected you to have such a connection with Third Master!” Number One immediately said.

Ye Luo shook his head, ”It’s only surface-level. In truth, I have no significant ties with him.”

Number One believed this, given that Ye Luo’s identity was notable enough. Being able to associate with Third Master was quite an achievement, and in the entire Moonwater Tribe, hardly anyone could claim close ties with him.

Just as Number One was about to speak, footsteps could be heard from outside.

However, these footsteps were unhurried, clearly not the Emissary, and judging by the number, it was more than just a few.

”Is Young Master Ye residing here?” A hearty voice called from outside.

”Someone else looking for you? Could it be Third Master’s men?” Number One immediately said, ”It doesn’t add up; Third Master just left. It’s too soon for that!”

At this moment, a Guard dressed in Inner Sect disciple attire already entered the cave mansion.

Seeing Ye Luo, he immediately half-knelt in salute.

”I pay my respects to Young Master Ye, forgive my intrusion!”

Ye Luo understood that he was referring to barging into the cave mansion without permission.

Clearly, he was someone from the Third Princess’s side; she must be extremely worried after hearing about the servant incident.

”It’s alright, stand up and speak!”

Upon hearing this, the Guard dared to rise.

Yet, Number One stood to the side, utterly baffled.

What was happening? This was an Inner Sect disciple, calling himself a subordinate of Ye Luo? Moreover, the half-kneeling gesture was extraordinary; usually, Inner Sect disciples only performed such a grand salute for the Royal Family, didn’t they?

Could it be that Ye Luo was of the Royal Family? That’s impossible. How could a Royal descendant serve as a servant? That would bring disgrace to the Royal Family!

Nevertheless, in Number One’s mind, Ye Luo’s image grew infinitely larger...

”Young Master Ye, we’ve come simply to inquire about the situation here on orders!” the Guard respectfully said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Luo knew the Third Princess must have moved into the Moonwater Palace by now, becoming one of the twelve protectors; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so courteous.

”I’m fine here, you can report back!”

The Guard didn’t say much more. After saluting, he exited the cave mansion, clearly having been instructed by the Third Princess before arriving.

”This!” Number One was at a loss for words.

Ye Luo sighed, ”Don’t be fooled by appearances. When true crisis comes, we must rely on ourselves, you understand?”

After hearing this, Number One remained silent for a moment, his expression turning serious once more.

”Young Master Ye, I understand. I’ll fetch the Array Master now!”

With that, he also left the cave mansion.

Ye Luo was increasingly satisfied with Number One’s performance.

His principle was never to place the hope of survival on someone else.

The day passed without incident, but early the next day, the noise of activity awakened Ye Luo from his meditative state.

Upon stepping outside, it turned out that Third Master had brought several guards to set up in front of the cave mansion.

It was evident he was serious, as there were over twenty guards, each with the prowess of a Core Disciple, surrounding the two cave mansions completely.

With such a setup, even if the Emissary came, they could hold their ground.

”These are my personal men, you can rest assured. Subsequently, I’ll invite an Array Master to set up formations here. Let’s see if those guys dare overturn the sky!” Third Master said with a curse.

Clearly, he wasn’t very fond of the totem either.

”Third Master, the Array Master I invited earlier!” Number One hurriedly said.

Because he suddenly realized that the Array Master was nowhere to be seen.

”Pah, that character being called an Array Master? He’s just a charlatan, running when he saw me. It was his luck that I didn’t take his life!”

Hearing this, both Number One and Ye Luo were left speechless.

Ye Luo had indeed met that Array Master before; although his formation skills were somewhat lacking, he certainly wasn’t a mere fraud.

However, his array expertise was simply not acknowledged by Third Master.

Soon enough, Third Master’s Array Master arrived on the scene. A professional in action is inevitably evident; Ye Luo himself was an Array Master, and upon seeing this Array Master, he immediately understood the vast difference compared to the one Number One had invited!

It turned out that the Moonwater Tribe’s array skills weren’t too shabby after all!

”Young Master, these formations will take some time to set up. Why don’t you?” Third Master approached Ye Luo to say.

Ye Luo instantly understood; he was asking Ye Luo to go heal the Ice Princess.

After all, today happened to be the agreed-upon day.

”Very well,” Ye Luo promptly agreed, intending to go even if Third Master hadn’t mentioned it.

This time, Third Master personally led the way again, but the location wasn’t by the lake as before; instead, it was atop a mountain within the Moonwater Tribe, making the journey somewhat longer, taking a full hour to reach.
