Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 541: Chapter 540: Meeting Gift

As she heard him talk about his blood oath, Long Piaoying slightly froze, then glared at Ye Haochuan somewhat angrily and snapped, ”What are you doing here? If you have nothing to do, get out immediately! You’re not welcome here.”

Damn, what’s wrong? This is the place my good buddy Su Zehao arranged for you, and you’re telling me to get out?

Ye Haochuan felt a bit annoyed, chuckled, and said, ”Immortal Aunt, listen to how you’re talking. We’re all family here, there’s no need to talk like strangers. I came here with good intentions to visit you, and this is the attitude I get? My heart is about to freeze over...”

Long Piaoying, rendered speechless, just rolled her eyes. What does he mean we’re all family here? What’s this about his heart freezing over? Does he really think he’s been wronged?

Seeing that she didn’t speak up to kick him out again, Ye Haochuan quickly changed the subject: ”Hehe, Immortal Aunt, where had you just gone?”

”Where I go is none of your business,” Long Piaoying hummed nonchalantly.

Lin Zixuan, who still didn’t know the grudges between him and her master, thought her master was standing up for her and chimed in with an air of superiority, ”Exactly, where my master goes is none of your business!”

Damn, is Eldest Miss Lin trying to make her presence felt here? Nobody would think you’re mute if you didn’t speak, I’m talking to Immortal Aunt, why are you putting your oar in?

Ye Haochuan ignored her tight-faced interjection and chuckled at Long Piaoying: ”Speaking of which, Immortal Aunt, this hopeless girl disciple Lin Zixuan, how long ago did you take her in?”

Lin Zixuan felt very uncomfortable hearing that. What does he mean by ’hopeless girl disciple’? This jerk is clearly trying to insult me!

Long Piaoying also picked up on the nuance in his words. Feeling both annoyed and amused, she lightly said, ”Just this morning. I noticed Zixuan had some talent in the martial arts path, so I took her in as a disciple.”

”Oh, I see, Immortal Aunt, you have good judgment. Miss Lin really does have some talent in the martial arts path,” Ye Haochuan nodded, and suddenly, an idea struck him. He beckoned with his hand, took an item out of his storage ring, and handed it to Lin Zixuan.

As he praised her martial arts talent, Lin Zixuan was initially pleased, but when she saw what he handed her, her face turned red with a blush. ”Ptui! What kind of disgusting thing is this? Why are you giving this to me?”

”It’s a greeting gift, of course!” Ye Haochuan grinned, ”Don’t get the wrong idea. It’s very nourishing. I’m giving it to you, not for you to eat it, but as a little motivational push. Also, I’ve noticed your mother seems to be experiencing menopause a bit early, and she’s rather irritable, probably because of bedroom issues. Maybe your father could use a little boost...”

His words were clearly laden with sarcasm and meant to criticize her mother for being nosy and intentionally trying to sabotage his relationship with Lin Qingxuan.

”Nonsense, you’re the one who needs a boost.” Seeing him make fun of her parents, Lin Zixuan was fuming and immediately struck, throwing the deer whip to the ground.

Watching his well-intentioned deer whip hit the ground, Ye Haochuan frowned, glanced at Lin Zixuan, and laughed, ”Eldest Miss Lin, please take this to heart. Since you have called my Immortal Aunt your master, it seems you’ve also become a disciple of our Ancient Martial Arts Sect. Our sect is very strict about hierarchy, so at the very least, you should be calling me Master Uncle. What now? Are you trying to act insubordinately?”

”What kind of bullshit Master Uncle?” Lin Zixuan scoffed, ”I clearly heard you calling my master ’Aunt’. That means she is your senior. Since when are you peers with her? And now you want to be my Master Uncle? Aren’t you ashamed?”

Damn, the way she puts it, it’s as if I’m deliberately taking advantage of her?

Ye Haochuan snorted, speaking haughtily, ”Eldest Miss Lin, how can you speak like that? Not knowing your elders! Speaking of age, your master is much older than me—she could easily be my grandmother. However, out of respect for her eternal youth, I graciously refer to her as ’Immortal Aunt.’ In our sect, however, she is just my senior sister. You, being her disciple, naturally should address me as ’Master Uncle.’ Do you understand?”

”I don’t understand, what can you do about it?” Lin Zixuan replied defiantly. ”Grandma here paid respects to her master, not you. What’s it to you?”

Ye Haochuan shook his head wordlessly and glanced at Immortal Aunt, ”Immortal Aunt, this female disciple of yours has no concept of respecting her elders. If you don’t discipline her properly, I might have to step in.”

Long Piaoying hesitated for a moment, perhaps influenced by ingrained sect beliefs, and finally said helplessly to Lin Zixuan, ”Zixuan, according to our sect’s hierarchy, he indeed is your Master Uncle. From now on, you should address him as such.”

”Master, but this scoundrel...” Lin Zixuan obviously hadn’t expected her master to say this and felt utterly wronged.

”There are no ’buts’—propriety must not be abandoned! From now on, treat him as your Master Uncle,” Long Piaoying said sternly.

Becoming a disciple of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect had always been Lin Zixuan’s dream. Now, with a high-level practitioner like Long Piaoying at the Foundation Establishment Stage recommending her, she certainly wouldn’t give up easily. Even though she was reluctant, she dared not defy her master’s orders and resignedly said, ”Yes, Master.”

However, although she had agreed verbally, she had made up her mind—hmph, asking me to call you Master Uncle? That’s never going to happen. As long as Grandma doesn’t bring it up, that’s that.

Seeing her subdued and not daring to even make a peep, Ye Haochuan felt incredibly satisfied inside—ah, I used to have no way of dealing with you, but now that I’m your Master Uncle, I can handle you however I please!

”Now that you have finished your visit, is it time for you to leave?” Long Piaoying suddenly issued an order to leave.

Ye Haochuan was extremely frustrated, but could find no excuse to stay. Just as he was preparing to leave, he suddenly sensed a strong fluctuation of energy outside, approaching from afar.

He had noticed it, so how could Long Piaoying, whose cultivation was more profound than his, not notice it?

”Something’s wrong!” Long Piaoying’s face changed slightly. Looking out through the window, she saw several figures swiftly flying across the dark night sky.

”Master, what’s happening?” Lin Zixuan, though trained in martial skills, was still an Outer Sect disciple not of the Postnatal Realm, and couldn’t sense the strong energy.

”Don’t speak. Follow me quickly!” Long Piaoying glanced at Lin Zixuan, then gave Ye Haochuan a meaningful look, ”You come with me, too!”

Ye Haochuan nodded knowingly, though he was quite puzzled. Given the strength of this energy, the opponent’s cultivation must be at least of Foundation Establishment Stage. No matter how much the three of them tried to hide, it would likely be futile!

As he was feeling doubtful, Long Piaoying approached a wardrobe next to the bed, opened the door, and only clothes could be seen inside—there was no space big enough for a person.

Then, she pushed with her hand, seemingly triggering a mechanism, and miraculously, the clothes moved upwards, revealing a hidden compartment.

Ye Haochuan’s sharp eyes quickly realized this was no ordinary compartment. It was indeed a superior spiritual artifact!
