Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 944: Chapter 943: Leave the Red Moon Ancient Zither? (4th Update)

The road ahead, though also somewhat winding, with a few demon beasts obstructing the way, Ye Haochuan and Zhu Qingshuang braved through the thorns and thistles without much trouble.

”Mist Valley lies ahead. Once we enter, we must be cautious with every step,” Haochuan said in a heavy tone, looking at the valley not far away.

Zhu Qingshuang nodded her head, not daring to take it lightly because, according to the map, Mist Valley was also a place of great peril.

Just as the two slowed their pace to proceed, suddenly a familiar figure appeared before their eyes.

”Hehe... Senior Sister, are you heading to Mist Valley?”

The person was none other than Zhu Qingshuang’s junior sister, Tang Yun!

Tang Yun, now a Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage cultivator, had four people with her—one Foundation Establishment Late Stage expert, and three at the Early Stage.

Ye Haochuan immediately frowned; while Tang Yun looked like a child, her manner of speaking was pretentiously mature, which was quite annoying to hear.

”Hey, you little brat, get out of the way. Where we go is none of your business!” Haochuan shot back.

Haochuan’s words instantly infuriated Tang Yun, who barked, ”Who the hell do you think you are, shouting and yelling at me?!”

Haochuan chuckled, ”Well, listen up. Your Senior Sister is my woman, so that makes me your Senior Brother-in-Law. What are you waiting for, not coming to greet your Senior Brother-in-Law?”

”Fuck! Mind your fucking language when you speak!”

”A mere cultivator in the Innate Realm dares to be so arrogant?!”

Those three Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators immediately started shouting, looking as if they were about to rush forward and punch Haochuan.

Tang Yun’s face was as cold as frost. Instead of questioning Haochuan, she turned her gaze to Zhu Qingshuang.

Zhu Qingshuang said, ”Don’t listen to his nonsense; there’s nothing of the sort!”

”Hey, hey! We have a bet here; you can’t just weasel out of it!”

Zhu Qingshuang glared fiercely at Ye Haochuan. Although she did indeed lose the bet, she wasn’t ready to make it public knowledge.

”Senior Sister is not so young anymore. It’s understandable that you’re stirred by spring and want a man,” Tang Yun said slowly. Haochuan sneered at her. You’re just a squirt and can understand squat. Probably still a virgin at your age, aren’t you!

It’s true, after all. Although Tang Yun wasn’t young, her appearance really made it hard for anyone to have any improper thoughts. Pedophilia is a psychological disorder!

Zhu Qingshuang didn’t refute Tang Yun but rather counter-questioned, ”My personal affairs needn’t concern you, Junior Sister. I’m just curious why you’re here. Did you come looking for me on purpose?”

Although Zhu Qingshuang had an expert protecting her, preventing Phantom Sound Pavilion from chasing her for the time being, she knew they wouldn’t let her off easily.

”Senior Sister is overly concerned. We were actually planning to explore Mist Valley, and it was a coincidence that we met here.”

Zhu Qingshuang, seeing that Tang Yun seemed to be telling the truth, made way and said, ”Then I won’t delay your precious time.”

Tang Yun was slightly startled, then smiled and said, ”Where does Senior Sister get such ideas? We are still disciples of the same sect. Since you are also entering Mist Valley, why don’t we go together? It would be good to look out for each other, wouldn’t it?”

Damn!

Hearing this, Ye Haochuan was extremely disdainful. Travel with you? That’s more terrifying than traveling with wolves and tigers. Do you think others don’t know about your devious schemes?

”Who said we were going to Mist Valley?” Haochuan stepped forward, laughing playfully: ”We are just passing through here.”

”Oh?” Tang Yun looked at Haochuan with a side glance and asked, ”If you’re not going to Mist Valley, where do you plan to go? To my knowledge, there aren’t many places this road leads to.”

Ye Haochuan laughed and said, ”We plan to go to the Myriad Skeleton Abyss. I wonder if you’re interested in joining us?”

”The Myriad Skeleton Abyss?!” Tang Yun and the others were visibly stunned. The Myriad Skeleton Abyss was known to be extremely perilous, with rumors of many strong characters meeting their demise there. Filled with skeletons, the mere sight of it struck fear into the hearts of many.

Seeing the expressions on Tang Yun and the others’ faces, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help feeling smug. If you’ve got the guts, come with me!

”Heh heh... The Myriad Skeleton Abyss is fraught with danger, could it be that you’re seeking death?” Tang Yun clearly didn’t believe Ye Haochuan’s words.

”Hehe, as the saying goes, where there’s risk, there’s opportunity. The more dangerous the place, the more likely you’ll find supreme treasures!”

”Afraid you won’t have the life to come back!”

”Whether I live or die is none of your concern; it’s the thrill that counts! So, do you dare to take a trip with me?” Ye Haochuan said proudly.

The three Foundation Establishment Cultivators looked at him as if he were a fool, thinking they had never seen someone so arrogant about courting death!

Tang Yun looked at Zhu Qingshuang and asked in a deep voice, ”Senior Sister, do you really intend to go to the Myriad Skeleton Abyss?”

”We are indeed on different paths.” Tang Yun did not answer her directly but simply didn’t want to go with her, yet Tang Yun took her words as an affirmation.

”If Senior Sister is going to the Myriad Skeleton Abyss, then... please hand over the Red Moon Ancient Zither first.”

Damn! After all this beating around the bush, have we finally come to the point?

Ye Haochuan knew that Tang Yun had always been fixated on the Red Moon Ancient Zither. Her invitation to Zhu Qingshuang to enter the Mist Valley was just to better compete for the treasure.

Zhu Qingshuang then gave a cold smile: ”Junior Sister, I’m afraid this is your true intention, right?”

”Even if Senior Sister misunderstands me, today, I must have you leave the Ancient Zither behind!”

”Misunderstanding?” Ye Haochuan immediately interjected, ”You’ve got some nerve using that word! What, are you trying to claim that you’re robbing the Red Moon Ancient Zither for the good of the world or something?”

Tang Yun was not angry and said indifferently, ”Saying it’s for the good of the world would be overstating things; I simply don’t wish to see a treasure of the Phantom Sound Pavilion become obscured by dust.”

At this point, the Foundation Establishment Late Stage expert standing to the side finally spoke up, ”Qingshuang, the Red Moon Ancient Zither is a supreme treasure of the Phantom Sound Pavilion. If you leave it in the Myriad Skeleton Abyss, you could bear an eternal stigma.”

Wow! That’s the first time I’ve heard robbery described with such righteous indignation!

Zhu Qingshuang said, ”The Red Moon Ancient Zither was left to me by my master; how to deal with it is not the concern of others.”

”Senior Sister, you keep saying the Red Moon Ancient Zither was left to you by your master, but do you have any proof?”

”I...” Zhu Qingshuang was at a loss for words.

”Even if there is proof, the object originally belongs to the Sect. Now that Senior Liu has passed away, isn’t it only right for the Sect to take back the Red Moon Ancient Zither?”

Tang Yun’s aggressive approach left Zhu Qingshuang struggling to respond, and Ye Haochuan knew that the most important reason Zhu Qingshuang was unwilling to hand over the Red Moon Ancient Zither was that it was the only thing left to her by her master.

It was a token, an object that carried her mournful thoughts.

Therefore, Ye Haochuan stepped forward with a mischievous smile and said, ”I’m a bit curious; this Senior Liu you speak of seems to have been dead for many years now, right? Why didn’t you take it back then, and why, after so many years, are you in such a hurry to reclaim it now?”

”This... this is the Elders’ intent; how would I know?” Tang Yun was momentarily at a loss for words.

”Hmph, back then the Red Moon Ancient Zither was just a piece of waste wood; of course, nobody wanted it!” Zhu Qingshuang suddenly interjected with a cold snort, ”If it weren’t for my restoration of the Red Moon Ancient Zither to the level of a top-grade Spiritual Artifact, they would probably never remember they even had such a thing, right?”
