Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 497: Chapter 496: Of Course It’s Because of Good Character

”Hmph, Junior Brother, you are indeed not simple at all. You chose the main path the whole way and still managed to remain unharmed by the demons and Yakshas of the abyss; hurry up and tell us, how did you manage that?”

Right when Ye Haochuan was deep in thought, a disciple from the Ancient Martial Arts Sect, who was at the Innate Realm, spoke up.

However, the tone of this person was somewhat commanding, and Ye Haochuan felt an indescribable irritation upon hearing it.

He was about to respond when suddenly his phone vibrated. Subconsciously, he picked it up and, coincidentally, it was a message from Immortal Aunt Long Piaoying, asking him to send his location right away.

Ye Haochuan was overjoyed and immediately turned on the location feature, sending his position.

Soon, he received a reply, ”I am not far from you, I will arrive shortly.”

Great, Ye Haochuan silently cheered, what does he care about the intentions of these people? With Immortal Aunt backing him, what was there to fear?

At this moment, a disciple from the Ancient Martial Arts Sect shouted, ”Brat, Senior Brother Quan is talking to you, kid, dare you not answer?”

Ye Haochuan frowned and glanced at the man, ”What the hell? Can’t you see I’ve received a message?”

”What did you say? In front of our Brother Quan Guanjie, you dare call yourself ’small master’? It seems you are itching for a fight, needing me to cure you of that,” one of the disciples retorted.

The Ancient Martial Arts Sect disciple snorted coldly, clenched his fists, and suddenly took a step forward, moving in a foot pattern similar to ’Dragon Flight and Tiger Step’ which belonged to his sect.

Damn, this guy is really arrogant, wanting to deal with me right off the bat! But I’m not so easy to bully.

Ye Haochuan did not dodge but struck out with his palm instead, executing the ’Dragon Fighting in the Sea’ from the Nine Tyrant Dragons Fist.

For a moment, the air was filled with the force of the punch.

”Oh, you dare to resist? Well then, let’s have some fun today. I won’t stop until I’ve played you sore,” said the disciple as he punched back, utilizing the ’Star-Shifting Technique,’ known for using the opponent’s force against them and redirecting it to counterattack.

Thus, in an instant, the palm strike from Ye Haochuan was sent right back to him.

Damn!

Ye Haochuan’s expression turned stern, and he swiftly struck out another palm, meeting the redirected force of the opponent’s palm.

Boom!

The clash of the two forces sent both men staggering back several steps.

”Good lad, you indeed have some skills; no wonder you are so arrogant. Let’s go again ...”

With the thoughts of measuring who was better, just then, the Innate Master named Quan Guanjie suddenly said, ”Junior Brother Zhou Mingjiang, your skills are equally matched, stop fighting, we wouldn’t want our peers from the Institute of Extensive Learning to laugh at us.”

It turned out that he had noticed the presence of Su Zehao all along but found it strange to see him alongside his own disciples.

The Ancient Martial Arts Sect and the Institute of Extensive Learning had always gotten along; it was an undisputed fact, but the disciples of the two groups rarely interacted. Given this, the presence of an Ancient Martial Arts Sect disciple alongside him inevitably aroused curiosity.

”Yes, Senior Brother Quan.” Zhou Mingjiang responded, snorted coldly at Ye Haochuan, and then backed off.

Quan Guanjie then looked at Ye Haochuan and said, ”We still don’t know how to address this Junior Brother?”

”Ye Haochuan,” Ye Haochuan responded proudly, without a second thought.

”It’s you, Ye Haochuan?” Zhou Mingjiang suddenly yelled out loud.

Not only that, but the other disciples behind him also surged with agitation, each wearing a hostile expression.

”What about it?” Ye Haochuan was cautiously alert.

”Hmph, Junior Brother Ling from Ling Xiaotian died under mysterious circumstances, and it’s said to be related to you. Moreover, the Ice Soul Sword he had in his possession has also ended up in your hands. Is there any truth to this?” Zhou Mingjiang said indignantly.

Ye Haochuan immediately understood that they were associates of Ling Xiaotian. He wondered if they were from the Tianyu Alliance.

Thinking this, he asked, ”Are you people from the Tianyu Alliance?”

”Indeed!” Zhou Mingjiang declared loudly, then narrowed his eyes, ”Since you can outright state that we are from the Tianyu Alliance, it seems you have a guilty conscience. Did you really kill Junior Brother Ling?”

Of course, he couldn’t admit to that!

Ye Haochuan chuckled, ”This matter has already spread far and wide, well-known by everyone. I knew about it long ago, so how can there be any guilty conscience? Besides, it’s not the first time I’ve been misunderstood.”

Su Zehao secretly chuckled to himself; this guy was indeed shameless, spouting lies without batting an eyelid!

However, he wasn’t foolish enough to betray Ye Haochuan. He already considered Ye Haochuan a brother, and he wouldn’t commit the foolery of betraying his own brother.

Moreover, he had heard some rumors about Ling Xiaotian, who was arrogant and bullied others using his power. It might not have been a bad thing for many disciples of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect that Ye Haochuan had killed him.

Besides, this was an internal matter of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect. Why should a disciple from the Institute of Extensive Learning get involved?

”You’re making excuses!” Zhou Mingjiang accused angrily, ”It’s said that the Ice Soul Sword also ended up with you. If you’re brave enough, hand over your Storage Talisman for us to check.”

”Wishful thinking, you’re presuming guilt!” Ye Haochuan snorted coldly.

The Storage Talisman on his person, which was the storage ring, if they checked, it would immediately expose the Ice Soul Sword. Then, things would probably become more troublesome.

”I think you have a guilty conscience!” Zhou Mingjiang sneered dismissively, waving his hand grandly, ”Fellow disciples, let’s take action together and seize this lad!”

As soon as his words fell, several others also stepped forward, ready to move.

At that moment, Quan Guanjie shouted fiercely, ”All of you damn come back here!”

”Senior Brother Quan...” Zhou Mingjiang was a bit unyielding.

”Come back!” Quan Guanjie’s expression darkened, ”Is there no discipline at all? Shouting and yelling in front of me?”

Zhou Mingjiang then realized that his behavior had just crossed a line with Senior Brother Quan, so he obediently stepped back.

Seeing this, the other disciples also didn’t dare to continue their bluster and stepped back as well.

”Accusing Junior Brother Ye of harming Junior Brother Ling without any evidence, isn’t this a bit ridiculous? Moreover, Junior Brother Ling had many enemies; who knows who killed him?”

Quan Guanjie glanced over Zhou Mingjiang and others and continued, ”Furthermore, we are currently in a perilous situation. As fellow disciples of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect, we should be united and supportive of each other, not engaging in fratricide. Understand?”

Zhou Mingjiang and the others dared not object, hanging their heads low, but it was evident to any discerning observer that most of them were not convinced.

Seeing no one objecting, Quan Guanjie then cheerfully said to Ye Haochuan, ”Junior Brother Ye must have been startled, come, let’s sit down and have a good chat.”

Seeing his smiling face, which was a complete change from his previously imposing demeanor, Ye Haochuan was deeply puzzled.

However, he knew one thing well, if someone offers favours unasked, they are up to no good; Quan Guanjie likely had no good intentions.

As expected, after Quan Guanjie rambled on in a caring manner, he then asked with a smile, ”Junior Brother Ye, foolish brother is unclear about something. On your way here, you weren’t harassed by demons or Yaksha. How could that be?”

Here it came.

Ye Haochuan chuckled, ”Need it even be said? Obviously, it’s because of good character.”
