Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 799: Chapter 798: Didn’t Expect Him to Be So Tough! (7 updates)

Lu Yongde threw a punch, faintly emanating a blue glow.

Ye Haochuan released his Innate Gang Qi as well, extending his palm to firmly block Lu Yongde’s fist.

”Innate Mid-Stage?”

Such Gang Qi was naturally not unfamiliar to Lu Yongde.

At the same level, Lu Yongde naturally wasn’t afraid of Ye Haochuan, and the two immediately tangled in a fight.

Of course, this was Little Die’s home, and neither of them used their full strength, lest the building would be utterly ravaged.

Ye Haochuan was here to investigate the truth behind Long Group’s downfall, so he wasn’t in the mood to entangle himself with Lu Yongde any longer.

The White Spirit Moxa Flame silently appeared in his palm, a beam of light shooting towards Lu Yongde’s chest.

Lu Yongde didn’t take it seriously, thinking it was some kind of trick from Ye Haochuan, immediately releasing Innate Gang Qi to resist.

However, the White Spirit Moxa Flame instantly penetrated his Gang Qi, burning on his chest.

Even Late Stage Innate experts were unable to resist the White Spirit Moxa Flame, let alone Lu Yongde.

He instantly screamed in agony, the severe pain from the flame felt like hundreds of ants gnawing at his heart.

Taking advantage of Lu Yongde’s distraction, Ye Haochuan struck with a palm, causing Lu Yongde to be wounded, coughing up blood in reverse, collapsing onto the ground.

”Speak, what exactly happened to the Long Group that day? Who was pulling the strings behind the scenes?”

Ye Haochuan’s demeanor was solemn as he pressed on urgently.

Given Lu Yongde’s level of cultivation, at best he was just a lackey; the mastermind was naturally someone else.

Enduring the excruciating pain, Lu Yongde clenched his teeth and said, ”If you want to kill me, kill me. I have nothing to say!”

”Still stubborn, eh?”

Ye Haochuan further increased the temperature of the White Spirit Moxa Flame, yet Lu Yongde still kept his mouth shut, unwilling to divulge any information.

”I didn’t expect you to be so unyielding!” Ye Haochuan said with a cold smile, ”Even if you’re not afraid to die, don’t you care about your daughter? She’s in the prime of her youth, to die because of you would truly be a pity.”

Lu Yongde resolutely said, ”My daughter and I will embark on the same path; being united as a family in the Netherworld isn’t so bad, hahaha!”

Ye Haochuan frowned and said, ”Do you really not care about your own daughter’s life and death?”

Lu Yongde replied, ”When you captured my daughter, didn’t you know that she was suffering from a terminal illness? She wouldn’t have lived long anyhow, dying a few days earlier makes no difference!”

As he said this, a hint of resentment appeared in Lu Yongde’s eyes.

”But I heard that you left this time to get medicine for your daughter. Using such an excuse to fool me, do you think so little of my intelligence?”

”Medicine? Haha...” Lu Yongde suddenly laughed miserably, ”Holy Hand is dead, what’s the use of getting medicine!”

Damn it all!

Ye Haochuan suddenly became furious, scolded, ”The death of Holy Hand has nothing to do with you!”

How dare you talk like that after your involvement in Long Group’s downfall?

”That’s right, I am partly to blame for the downfall of Long Group, just kill me!” Lu Yongde said, ”My daughter is afflicted with a terminal disease; she doesn’t need you to take action, so don’t expect to threaten me with her.”

Damn, after all that, you still just want me to let Little Die go!

The words of Lu Yongde were a mix of truth and lies, untrustworthy.

”It seems I’ll have to make you suffer a bit before you’re willing to cooperate!”

Ye Haochuan once again increased the temperature of the White Spirit Moxa Flame, causing Lu Yongde to writhe on the ground, his veins bulging in agony.

”Squeak—”

The door suddenly opened, and Little Die burst in with excitement: ”Brother Ye, look at all the delicious things I bought!”

No sooner had her words fallen than Little Die was stunned by the scene before her, the groceries slipping from her hands to the floor.

”Dad? Brother Ye? What are you...”

Upon seeing Little Die return, Ye Haochuan immediately withdrew the White Spirit Moxa Flame and stood to the side, somewhat embarrassed.

Lu Yongde was struck with horror. Wasn’t Little Die supposed to have been captured? How did she come back?

Moreover, he saw that Little Die’s complexion was rosy and she was full of vitality, far from the appearance of someone suffering from a terminal illness.

Lu Yongde immediately got up and grabbed Little Die’s hand, trembling as he asked, ”Little Die, your illness?”

”Dad, Brother Ye has nearly cured my illness, look at me, I’m completely fine now...” Little Die said, then, puzzled, continued, ”Dad, aren’t you friends with each other? What were you just...”

Lu Yongde smiled and said, ”We were just sparring! Your Brother Ye practiced for a few years and has pretty good skills. Oh, you bought so much food, are you planning to cook yourself?”

Little Die took his explanation as truth, and immediately laughed, ”Yes!”

”Great, great!” Lu Yongde was so moved that tears filled his eyes, and he promptly carried the groceries to the kitchen, saying, ”Dad hasn’t tasted your cooking in so long...”

Little Die tied on her apron and went to the kitchen to get busy.

In the living room, watching Little Die regain her youthful vibrancy, Lu Yongde’s heart struggled to find calm.

Lu Yongde looked at Ye Haochuan with questions, to which the latter simply said, ”It’s nothing special, I’m a disciple of the Holy Hand.”

Lu Yongde sighed and after a long while, came to terms with it, ”Alright, tell me, what do you want to know?”

He caused the downfall of the Long Group, was responsible for the death of the Holy Hand, yet Ye Haochuan repaid grievance with virtue by curing his daughter’s illness, and Lu Yongde was no longer hiding anything.

”What did you do in the destruction of the Long Group, why did you do that, and who is the mastermind behind the scenes?”

Then, Lu Yongde answered his questions one by one.

Half a year ago, Lu Yongde received orders from a high-level figure in an Ancient Martial Arts Sect to collect intelligence in Haishan City and act as an informant.

At that time, Lu Yongde had no idea with whom he was to make contact, just following orders.

It was only a few months ago, during what was meant to be a final contact, that he discovered that people from Hellfire intended to target the Long Group.

After learning the truth, Lu Yongde tried to resist, but his resistance resulted in his wife’s death.

Lu Yongde dared not tell Little Die the truth, so he lied that her mother succumbed to her grievances.

Subsequently, that high-level figure threatened him with Little Die’s life, saying that if things went successfully, he could help cure Little Die’s illness; otherwise, Little Die would be killed immediately. Lu Yongde ultimately chose to compromise.

Who would have thought, after the plan succeeded, that high-level figure did not treat Little Die’s illness but kept dragging it out.

It was for this reason that Lu Yongde was constrained and dared not speak the truth.

Now that Little Die’s illness had been resolved, Lu Yongde had no more concerns.

After listening, Ye Haochuan asked, ”Do you know who that high-level figure is?”

Lu Yongde replied, ”I’m not sure. He’s been in single-line contact with me, and I’ve never seen his true face. I can assert that this person has a high status within the Ancient Martial Arts Sect.”

”I’m a sinner. I can’t shirk the blame for the Long Group’s destruction and the Holy Hand’s death. Just kill me, but I hope... you don’t do it in front of my daughter.”

Ye Haochuan thought for a moment, sighed, and said, ”Your situation is somewhat involuntary and deserves compassion. After dinner, come back with me to the Ancient Martial Arts Sect to atone. As for your daughter, we will certainly protect her.”

After saying this, Lu Yongde felt much more relieved, his myriad thoughts and words finally condensing into one: Thank you!
