Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 513: Chapter 512: The Child is Teachable!

Hearing his name called out bluntly with a hint of astonishment in the tone, Ye Haochuan’s spirit tensed, and he looked in the direction of the voice to see that it was none other than Zhou Mingjiang, whom he had encountered once before in the abyss of Demon’s Lair.

Behind him stood two disciples.

However, considering the bloodstains covering all three of them, it was clear they had faced numerous attacks from demons and Yakshas on their way up from the abyssal depths.

”Haha, so it’s Junior Brother Zhou! Of course, I’m still alive, and living quite zestfully at that. What, are you annoyed?” Ye Haochuan chuckled.

Junior Brother Zhou?

Upon hearing this address, Zhou Mingjiang immediately grew irritated. This reckless fool, at the same cultivation level of Postnatal Peak as me, dared to act so arrogantly.

However, he quickly realized he was terribly mistaken.

His eyes weren’t blind; he soon noticed that Ye Haochuan in front of him had clearly improved a lot in cultivation. Every move he made radiated fluctuations of Gang Qi.

”You... you’ve broken through to the Innate Realm? How is that possible?” Zhou Mingjiang’s face changed.

”Hehe, glad to see you still have some discernment, or else you’d be nothing but a solution set of X+2＞4,” Ye Haochuan said with a smirk.

Solution set of X+2＞4?

Zhou Mingjiang was utterly confused, but suddenly, one of his disciples behind him came to a realization and reminded, ”Senior Brother Zhou, he’s mocking you for being infinitely stupid!”

Damn it!

Zhou Mingjiang was furious and about to explode, but reason quickly calmed him down. Ye Haochuan was now of the Innate Realm, and he was no match for him. If they fought, he would be the one to suffer!

Just then, he suddenly remembered something and said sternly, ”Ye Haochuan, I ask you, where are Senior Brother Quan and the others?”

”Your Senior Brother Quan? Which Senior Brother Quan?” Ye Haochuan pretended to be clueless.

Seeing him feign ignorance, Zhou Mingjiang felt both infuriated and depressed as he retorted, ”Which else but Senior Brother Quan Guanjie! Ye Haochuan, don’t tell me you’ve become forgetful from your high status. Not long ago in the abyss of Demon’s Lair, you definitely met Senior Brother Quan. Even Jinghong Fairy and Senior Sister Long Piaoying can testify to that.”

”Oh, that idiot!” Ye Haochuan slapped his thigh pretending to suddenly remember, ”I remember now, I remember.”

Damn it, why does this guy always have to be so sarcastic?

Zhou Mingjiang grew even more enraged and gritted his teeth, ”Since you remember, then Ye Haochuan, you should tell me where Senior Brother Quan has gone? Why can’t we contact him at all?”

”Damn, Junior Brother Zhou, where Quan Guanjie has gone, what does that have to do with me? I’m not his dad...” Ye Haochuan replied disdainfully.

Zhou Mingjiang couldn’t stand it anymore and angrily said, ”Ye Haochuan, you are too disrespectful! Senior Brother Quan and I are from the same sect; how can you keep denigrating and mocking him like this? What are your intentions? Aren’t you afraid of our sect’s strict rules and punishments, don’t you want to live anymore?”

Damn it, do you think the sect’s rules are made by you? Thinking you can punish whoever you want?

Ye Haochuan glared, scoffed, and retorted, ”Ever since I came into this world, I’ve never planned on leaving it alive. Junior Brother Zhou, don’t try to scare me; I’m not easily frightened. But it’s quite bold of you, Junior Brother Zhou, to call out my name so casually, showing no regard for me as your senior brother. Aren’t you afraid of our sect’s strict rules and punishments, don’t you want to live either?”

The last sentence, Ye Haochuan delivered perfectly back at Zhou, playing the game flawlessly.

Disciples who had arrived earlier saw them arguing and gathered around to watch. They nodded in agreement upon hearing Ye Haochuan’s words and pointed at Zhou Mingjiang, whispering among themselves.

These people were not blind; it was clear that Ye Haochuan was an Innate Master, whereas Zhou Mingjiang was merely at the Postnatal Realm level, yet acting disdainfully, constantly calling him by his name, indeed a violation of the strict hierarchical rules of the sect.

Seeing people around him gossiping and pointing directly at him, Zhou Mingjiang sensed trouble but found himself speechless, not knowing how to rebut.

”Hmph, trying to outtalk me? You’re still too green for this, kid. I’m the master of this game!”

Ye Haochuan sneered, ”What now? Junior Brother Zhou, still refusing to see reason?”

Damn, running into you is just my bad luck!

Ultimately, unable to withstand the criticism from his fellow disciples, Zhou Mingjiang could only honestly say, ”Senior Brother Ye, I was reckless just now. Please, I beg you to forgive my foolishness.”

That’s more like it!

Seeing the ugly expression on his face, as if he had swallowed a fly, Ye Haochuan felt inwardly delighted and said solemnly, ”A teachable child, indeed a teachable child!”

Hearing this, Zhou Mingjiang’s face flushed with anger, finding Ye Haochuan utterly detestable.

But at the moment, he was the one at fault and could only swallow his pride.

”Senior Brother Ye, I’ll ask you one more time, where exactly did Senior Brother Quan go? If you don’t give me an explanation today, I won’t let this go,” Zhou Mingjiang said solemnly.

”Please, why are you so stubborn?” Ye Haochuan was exasperated. ”Where Quan Guanjie went, how would I know? Maybe he went off somewhere to flirt with girls; you should try looking for him yourself.”

”Nonsense!” Zhou Mingjiang couldn’t hold back his anger, ”The abyss deep underground is full of dangers; how could Senior Brother Quan care about flirting in such a place?”

”Hey, Junior Brother Zhou, that’s hard to say. The abyss near the Demon’s Lair has many lonely and desolate female demons; maybe your Senior Brother Quan couldn’t resist their charms.”

The disciples around, hearing this, couldn’t help but laugh; Senior Brother Ye really had a way with words.

Zhou Mingjiang was furious, shouting, ”Stop deflecting! Senior Brother Ye, don’t try to deceive me. I’m telling you, it’s not just Senior Brother Quan I can’t contact, but other brothers too. You were also around the Demon’s Lair area; you must know their whereabouts... Ah, I get it, you killed them, didn’t you?”

Saying this, Zhou Mingjiang’s eyes suddenly widened, showing a horrified expression: ”Yes, it was you, you must have killed them! Otherwise, they wouldn’t all be missing.”

The surrounding disciples were shocked. In the remote Sub-Fire Dimension Realm, far from the Emperor’s reach, cases of disciples from the same sect killing each other were frequent, but without solid proof, no one would rashly expose such acts, as it would only bring shame on themselves. And here was Zhou Mingjiang, spilling the beans in public—it seemed the conflict between them was deeper than the sea.

”Hehe, Junior Brother Zhou, one can eat randomly, but words should not be spoken lightly.” Although Zhou was right, Ye Haochuan would certainly not admit it, especially since he believed he had covered his tracks well—without evidence, who would believe Zhou?

”Speaking nonsense?” Zhou Mingjiang scoffed coldly, ”Even if you didn’t kill Senior Brother Quan and the others, you used the Netherworld Holy Water from the Evil Cult Hellfire to cause Senior Brother Quan to lose an arm—it’s not a falsity, is it?”

Evil Cult Hellfire’s Netherworld Holy Water?

The disciples around listened, each one astonished, but soon they started admiring it. Although the Netherworld Holy Water was not considered a good thing, its benefits were significant—whoever obtained it was secretly making a fortune!

”Netherworld Holy Water? Who got the Netherworld Holy Water?” Suddenly, a commanding voice emerged from the transmission tower.
