Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 522: Chapter 521 What can be done?

Su Zehao called at this time, as he simply wanted to catch up and strengthen their brotherhood.

Ye Haochuan had the same idea and readily agreed. After confirming the location, he went to the rooftop. Taking advantage of the dusky light, he summoned his Flying Sword Artifact, leaped onto it, and whooshed into the high skies, disappearing into the clouds.

Soon after, Ye Haochuan soared above a hotel building. He circled in the sky above it and saw a red silk ribbon floating out of a window—the secret signal he had arranged with Su Zehao. So, he flew in through the window.

No sooner had he entered the room than Su Zehao’s hearty voice came through, ”Brother Haochuan, you got here really fast!”

Ye Haochuan turned his head and saw that Su Zehao had already shed the robe characteristic of the Institute of Extensive Learning, sporting a suit and looking every bit the dashing gentleman.

”Haha! Brother Zehao, now that we are both in the Innate Realm, meeting up is naturally not as troublesome as before. We can just fly over on our swords,” Ye Haochuan laughed.

”That’s true, that’s true,” Su Zehao said twice, then his expression turned serious. ”Actually, Brother Haochuan, the reason I called you here wasn’t just to reminisce; there’s something else.”

”What is it?” Ye Haochuan found this a bit strange.

”Come with me,” Su Zehao said, leading him to another room and pushing the door open.

Entering with curiosity, Ye Haochuan saw a woman lying on a bed in the room.

Moreover, this woman was no other than Immortal Aunt, Long Piaoying, whom he had repeatedly failed to contact. Her pale complexion suggested she had suffered some serious injuries.

”She... How is she here?” Ye Haochuan exclaimed in shock.

”It’s a long story,” Su Zehao mused.

”Then make it short,” Ye Haochuan said, frowning.

”Alright,” Su Zehao paused, organized his thoughts, and began to recount, ”Remember the Hellfire Holy Maiden Chiyoko that we captured?”

Ye Haochuan’s eyes narrowed: ”Is it related to her?”

”Yes,” Su Zehao nodded. ”Though Chiyoko was powerless at the time, as a saintess, her status is esteemed. When the Disciples of Hellfire couldn’t contact her, they suspected something happened to her and organized a rescue. As a result, just after Auntie Long brought her back to the Secular World, they encountered a group of Foundation Establishment Stage masters from Hellfire who attacked, taking Chiyoko and seriously injuring Auntie Long. She was at death’s door when, fortunately, I happened to pass through the area and was able to bring her back...”

Upon understanding the circumstances, Ye Haochuan clenched his fists, no wonder he hadn’t been able to contact Immortal Aunt, she had encountered major trouble.

Su Zehao continued, ”I’ll be going away for a while, and I intended to inform the Ancient Martial Arts Sect to take care of Auntie Long. But remembering your relationship with her, I called you instead.”

Knowing his thoughtfulness, Ye Haochuan was filled with gratitude, ”Then I must thank you, Brother Zehao.”

”Don’t be so formal, what’s the point of such pleasantries between us? I couldn’t have made it to the Innate Realm without your guidance,” Su Zehao said with a smile.

However, Ye Haochuan felt somewhat guilty, ”If only I had shared the true essence of the Martial Arts Path with you sooner, you would’ve reached the Innate Realm much earlier.”

”Don’t say that, Brother Haochuan. If you had told me too soon, my pride might not have been so grateful,” Su Zehao chuckled.

”Haha, indeed,” Ye Haochuan relaxed upon hearing this.

”Alright, now that you’re here, I’m entrusting Auntie Long to your care. Oh, and since Chiyoko was rescued, they’ll likely seek revenge on you. The disciples of Hellfire will probably keep a close watch, so you’d better be careful. This hotel belongs to the Su Family and is very safe; you should keep Auntie Long here without moving her. I’ll let the front desk know,” Su Zehao reminded him.

Ye Haochuan silently nodded, as long as he kept using Sword Flight to come here, those Hellfire underlings couldn’t grasp his whereabouts. He just needed to be careful of Hellfire’s Innate Masters.

After some more pleasantries, Su Zehao suddenly brought up another matter with a half-smile, ”By the way, my sister seems quite interested in you, but from what I’ve observed, you’re no Liu Xiahui. You seem to care quite a bit about other women, so how come you seem so indifferent to my sister?”

Ye Haochuan laughed, ”What can I do about that?”

”It’s probably not a matter of what you can or cannot do, but because you have a strong-willed fiancée, Eldest Miss Xiao, isn’t it?” Su Zehao said pointedly.

Though Su Zehao was correct, how could Ye Haochuan admit that?

The Su and Xiao families were age-old enemies, and the Xiao Family had recently fallen on hard times, with the Su Family kicking them when they were down. Although Su Zehao later helped to relieve the Xiao Family’s crises by having the Su Family absorb Xiao Family’s shares, Xiao Haimei’s prideful nature would inevitably harbor secret resentments.

Therefore, to avoid causing Xiao Haimei any discomfort, he suppressed his desires and avoided entangling with such a beauty as Su Manni.

”Brother Zehao, look at how you’re talking. Am I the kind of man who is henpecked? It’s simply that there’s no fate between your sister and me!” Ye Haochuan dodged the question with a laugh.

Seeing that he wouldn’t get any more information, Su Zehao then bid farewell, leaving the room to Ye Haochuan to take care of Long Piaoying.

Ye Haochuan then sat beside the bed and glanced at the sleeping face of Long Piaoying. Her still pale and colorless face indicated that her injuries were far from light.

Truth be told, although Immortal Aunt was over eighty, her high cultivation and proper care made her appear as lively as a thirty-year-old beauty, Ye Haochuan thought to himself.

At this moment, her calm demeanor as she lay on the bed, with her lips slightly curled, gave her an air of pride and grace that was captivating.

Any normal man would probably feel an intoxicating sentiment stirring inside.
