Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 499: Chapter 498: Patience

The crowd all turned their gazes towards Chiyo.

Quan Guanjie did the same and hurriedly asked, ”What did you say? You know why the demons and Yakshas don’t attack you?”

Seeing everyone’s eyes focused on her, Chiyo then glanced at Ye Haochuan, noticing his expression was sly and sinister, which unnerved her. She couldn’t shake the feeling that he still had a trick up his sleeve.

But at this moment, caught between a rock and a hard place, the only way she could escape their control was to trade this information, so she said, ”You have to promise to let me go first, then I can talk.”

Damn it, women from Dongying really are all the same, just wait until she falls into my hands, then watch how I’ll deal with her!

Ye Haochuan thought viciously.

Quan Guanjie, still unaware that she was the Saintess of Hellfire and thinking she was just a common disciple, generously said, ”Alright, that’s not a problem... but first, what’s your name?”

As he spoke, his eyes fervently scrutinized this mature and poised Dongying woman.

”Chi... Chiyo.” Meeting Quan Guanjie’s gaze, Chiyo suddenly felt nervous.

At that moment, Zhou Mingjiang whispered, ”Senior Brother Quan, the Sects decree that Disciples of Hellfire must be eliminated upon sight. If we let her escape, what if the Sects blame us...”

A cunning look flashed in Quan Guanjie’s eyes as he whispered, ”What? You think I’m really going to let her go? Such a stunning beauty, wouldn’t it be a pity to let her go?”

As he spoke, a hint of lewdness emerged on his face.

He was no fool; seeing the Dongying woman so charmingly beautiful, it would indeed be a pity not to take her for himself.

Zhou Mingjiang realized then, it seems Senior Brother Quan fancies this Dongying woman’s beauty. Thus, he stopped obstructing and obediently shut his mouth.

”Bring that woman over here,” Quan Guanjie commanded the two disciples behind him.

”Yes, Senior Brother Quan,” the two disciples immediately stepped forward and escorted Chiyo to Quan Guanjie.

Witnessing all this, Ye Haochuan slowly sensed that things were turning grim, but at the moment, he was powerless and could only watch helplessly.

With a sweep of his gaze, Quan Guanjie knew she had been hit on an acupoint, so he waved his hand to release the acupoint, allowing her to regain her freedom of movement.

”You have to swear again, then I can talk,” said Chiyo, now extremely cautious as she regained her ability to move.

Damn it, how annoying?

But to understand the reason why the demons and Yakshas did not attack her, Quan Guanjie had no choice but to comply with her request and made a vow, ”I swear, as long as you disclose the secret, I will definitely let you go.”

Chiyo, unaware that she was being deceived, finally said, ”Actually, the reason we are not attacked by the demons and Yakshas is mainly because we all apply a certain medication on our bodies. This medication is on him.”

As she spoke, she suddenly pointed at Ye Haochuan.

All eyes instantly converged on Ye Haochuan.

”You can smell and see if we three don’t have a scent very similar to that of the demons and Yakshas,” Chiyo added.

The crowd had actually already noticed this scent, but initially did not think much of it, assuming it was to ward off snakes and insects.

Upon learning the answer, Quan Guanjie was overjoyed, thinking that if he could get his hands on this medication, and later acquire the Fire Dragon Grass, he could confidently make his way out when they left.

He was already at the Innate Early Stage, and logically, his desire for the Fire Dragon Grass should not be that strong anymore. However, he now had the right to form a team, and he needed some loyal and competent subordinates. The Fire Dragon Grass was the perfect item to win people’s hearts.

”Alright, I’ve said what I had to say. Can I go now?” Chiyo asked expectantly.

”Of course,” Quan Guanjie said with a sly smile, ”but not right now.”

”What?” Chiyo’s heart suddenly sank.

”Miss Chiyo, if you leave now, with your current condition, could you escape the attacks of demons and Yaksha?” Quan Guanjie chuckled darkly, ”At the very least, you should wait until we’ve left this underground abyss, right?”

”This...”

Seeing the wicked glint in Quan Guanjie’s eyes, Chiyo immediately realized she had been tricked. This detestable Huaxia person, so utterly vile, had seemed like a gentle old man on the surface, but now his menacing nature was fully revealed, utterly deceitful and hypocritical. Ye Haochuan, that Huaxia person, had always been so ”bad.”

Thinking this, she instinctively glanced at Ye Haochuan, only to meet his cold, mocking gaze, and she couldn’t help but shiver. What did this mean? Was he reveling in her misfortune, or...

”Bring someone, let Miss Chiyo rest well for now,” said Quan Guanjie as he instructed two disciples.

The two disciples promptly stepped forward and escorted Chiyo away.

At this moment, Chiyo felt a tingling hatred but had no choice but to comply obediently.

Having understood the reason, Quan Guanjie sneered coldly, looking ominously at Ye Haochuan, ”Junior Brother Ye, better hand over your potion now. Otherwise, if I have to make a move, your only fate will be death!”

His voice struck Ye Haochuan’s heart like the resounding echo of a temple bell, bringing with it an overwhelming pressure that was almost suffocating.

However, since the Immortal Aunt had not yet appeared, he could only continue to endure and took out the potion he had concocted, bowing obsequiously as he chuckled, ”Senior Brother Quan, there’s no need to be angry, here’s the potion, please kindly accept it.”

Quan Guanjie gestured to Zhou Mingjiang, who stepped forward understandingly and snatched it, grunting coldly, ”Wouldn’t it have been better to hand it over sooner? I see you clearly do not regard our Senior Brother Quan highly.”

After seizing a bottle of the potion, Quan Guanjie sniffed it, and finding no issues except for its foul stench, he sprayed himself thoroughly from head to toe.

Seeing this, others began to spray themselves with the potion as well.

”Ye Haochuan, you are aware of the situation at least. But don’t you think it would have seemed more sincere if you had handed it over from the start?” Quan Guanjie huffed, suddenly pointing aggressively at Ye Haochuan’s face, his eyes fierce, ”I think you’re intentionally opposing me, aren’t you?”

Seeing his sudden fury, Ye Haochuan’s heart leapt to his throat, cursing inwardly, Quan Guanjie really seemed to be picking a fight intentionally.

”Senior Brother Quan has misunderstood, of course not. But now, as an Innate Master, the demons and Yaksha of this underground abyss are like ants before you, there’s hardly any need for this potion, right? I just thought it was unnecessary to say,” Ye Haochuan said with a forced smile.

”Nonsense!” Zhou Mingjiang shouted, ”Senior Brother Quan is an Innate Master, but what about us? We are at the Postnatal Realm, how can we deal with so many demons and Yaksha? I think you haven’t considered the fellowship at all... Senior Brother Quan, in my opinion, we should just kill this heartless and ungrateful guy!”

”Yes, kill him!”

”Exactly, there are no Sect Elders here, why worry if we don’t tell anyone?”

Suddenly, the crowd of disciples surged with emotion.

Damn, today really is a terrible day. Ah, why hasn’t Immortal Aunt arrived yet?

Ye Haochuan felt incredibly aggrieved, thinking that he had never suffered such a serious setback for so long. Yet, facing a superior Innate Expert and their overwhelming numbers, if he did not handle this properly, he might end up dead and dismembered.
