Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 952: Chapter 951: If you won’t give it, I’ll take it myself! (2nd Update)

After teasing Zhu Qingshuang for a while, Ye Haochuan noticed that Zhu Qingshuang really got angry, looking like she would explode her Dantian at any disagreement.

Ye Haochuan didn’t continue to provoke her and changed his tone, saying: ”You really can’t take a joke, can you? Fine, why don’t you tell me about your master and the Red Moon Ancient Zither? I remember you said your master is very impressive, just how impressive are we talking?”

Jerk, do you call that joking? You’re clearly hitting on me, alright?

Zhu Qingshuang glared at Ye Haochuan irritably and said coldly, ”Of course my master is amazing; otherwise, why would she be known as the Blood Zither Heavenly Maiden?”

”Blood Zither Heavenly Maiden?” Ye Haochuan was slightly startled. He clearly realized that such a person indeed existed in Holy Hand’s memory and was an incredibly badass character at that.

”You’re talking about Blood Zither Heavenly Maiden Liu Xianglan?”

Ye Haochuan was truly shocked. Blood Zither Heavenly Maiden Liu Xianglan, that’s a Nascent Soul Realm expert there. Back in the day, she fought Hellfire on her own, driving it back time and again, and even nearly stormed into its lair.

Such a figure, within Xuanmen, is only second to the likes of Three-Eyed War God Yang Hao and Divine Brush Judge Yang Sen. People of that level are revered and looked up to by everyone.

”Of course, who else would dare use the title Blood Zither Heavenly Maiden?” Zhu Qingshuang said proudly.

Ye Haochuan looked doubtful, scrutinizing Zhu Qingshuang: ”Are you joking? The Blood Zither Heavenly Maiden would have a disciple like you who’s still at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage at the age of sixty?”

”Jerk, my Dantian was sealed when I was in my twenties; otherwise, why would I be at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage now?” Zhu Qingshuang responded crossly.

Ye Haochuan actually forgot about this and coughed embarrassingly.

”Hold on, even so, reaching Foundation Establishment at thirty doesn’t sound very impressive!” Ye Haochuan suddenly said disdainfully.

In his mind, he seemed to equate top-tier talents with Long Keyue.

Started Cultivation at seven, reached Postnatal Peak in half a year, Innate Peak at nine, Foundation Establishment at ten, Core Formation at eighteen...

Compared to that, Zhu Qingshuang reaching Foundation Establishment at thirty seemed ridiculously weak!

Moreover, Ye Haochuan himself was only in his twenties, and he had already reached Foundation Establishment, hadn’t he?

”Jerk, I only started Cultivation at twenty-five, managing to reach Foundation Establishment before thirty is already pretty good, okay?” Zhu Qingshuang exclaimed indignantly.

Five years to reach Foundation Establishment, although not as freakish as Long Keyue’s three years, was still quite impressive. After all, many people spend their whole lives unable to achieve Foundation Establishment.

”Alright, I’ll take your word for it. So, what’s the deal with this Gongsun Zhi you mentioned?” Ye Haochuan continued to ask.

”Gongsun Zhi and my master both reached the Core Formation Peak together, and they used to secretly compete, each hoping to break through to Nascent Soul before the other. Later, my master broke through, but Gongsun Zhi couldn’t do it despite trying. Jealous and resentful, she often opposed my master openly...”

”Wait a minute...” Ye Haochuan suddenly interrupted, ”Are you saying Gongsun Zhi was already at Core Formation Peak thirty years ago? Isn’t she Nascent Soul by now?”

”Do you think it’s easy to break through to Nascent Soul?” Zhu Qingshuang glared at Ye Haochuan irritably and said, ”Core Formation to Nascent Soul, that’s a huge threshold. Many people spend their entire lives and still can’t cross it. Gongsun Zhi, obviously, is one of those people!”

Wow, she hasn’t been able to break through a Boundary in thirty years; how poor can her talent be?

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but click his tongue in secret.

However, he apparently forgot, if Gongsun Zhi’s talent was so poor, how could she have reached the level of Core Formation Peak?

”That’s not right, there’s something fishy here!” Ye Haochuan suddenly paused, frowning and saying, ”I remember, your master’s death was very strange, wasn’t it?”

”Indeed, logically speaking, my master was very powerful, even if ambushed, she would not have died so easily. And judging by the damage to the Red Moon Ancient Zither at that time, it was clearly split by someone at close range. With my master’s strength, how could anyone get close to her?” Zhu Qingshuang also expressed her doubts.

Liu Xianglan uses the zither as her weapon, inherently forsaking close combat. Under normal circumstances, no one should be able to approach her. Unless she was already seriously injured and powerless to defend. But if that was the case, why would they destroy a Treasure? Wouldn’t it be better to seize it?

Moreover, Liu Xianglan, even with her severely wounded body, managed to break through the encirclement and only passed away after returning to the Phantom Sound Pavilion. This shows that at the time of being besieged, she definitely still had the strength to fight and would not let anyone approach her easily.

”Do you think it’s possible that your master’s death is related to this Gongsun Zhi?” Ye Haochuan asked doubtfully.

”No way, fratricide within the Sect is a grave crime. Even if Gongsun Zhi were heartless and deranged, she wouldn’t collude with Hellfire to secretly harm her own Sect-mate, would she?” Zhu Qingshuang found it hard to believe.

”Please, when she harmed you, did she even care about any Sect-mate sentiments? Besides, if such things are done covertly, who would find out?”

”This... It shouldn’t be, right?” Zhu Qingshuang had completely forgotten that she was bound by Ye Haochuan and was fully engrossed in the topic of her master.

”If it has nothing to do with her, why would she harm you? Sealing your Dantian clearly shows she didn’t want you to grow stronger! Otherwise, why would a Core Formation Peak existence bother to deal so much with you, a minor at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage?” Ye Haochuan analysed seriously.

”...” Zhu Qingshuang fell into deep thought.

Ye Haochuan added more firewood and said, ”Think about it, if your strength increases, wouldn’t it be easy to investigate what happened back then? As long as they keep your cultivation in check, you won’t be taken seriously by the Sect, unable to improve your status, and even if you want to investigate, you don’t have the power to do so.”

”No, I must find out the truth. If it really was Gongsun Zhi, I won’t let her off!” Zhu Qingshuang awakened from her reverie and said gravely.

”Not let her off? You are only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, how can you fight her?” Ye Haochuan curled his lips, ”The most urgent task now is to improve your cultivation quickly. As long as your cultivation is higher than hers, even without evidence, the Sect is more likely to believe you. Power is the common standard to judge all matters of right and wrong!”

”Right, I must break that Seal quickly. Someday, I will find that Gongsun Zhi and take my revenge!” Zhu Qingshuang said with a determined face.

However, at this moment, the solemn expression on Ye Haochuan’s face disappeared entirely, and he said with a mischievous grin, ”You see, I’ve helped you so much, how do you plan to thank me?”

It was only then that Zhu Qingshuang realized she was standing in front of Ye Haochuan in an embarrassingly shy pose and angrily retorted, ”Thank your sister, put me down now, or you and I are never finished!”

”Hey, why don’t you understand gratitude. It’s fine, if you don’t want to give, I’ll just take it myself.” Ye Haochuan suddenly chuckled, and when Zhu Qingshuang wasn’t paying attention, he fiercely kissed her on the cheek.

After his mischief, Ye Haochuan quickly retreated, and the four rings of fire that bound Zhu Qingshuang also disappeared swiftly.

Zhu Qingshuang, unexpectedly, did not lash out and instead stood there stunned, her eyes not blinking at all.

How could it be? She felt not the slightest disgust but instead, a peculiar feeling rose in her heart from being kissed by this rascal. What on earth was going on?

Having lived for sixty years, this was the first time she had experienced such a thing, and she was somewhat confused.
