Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 991: Chapter 990: Abandoned After Being Used! (1 update)

With the protection of the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger, the group successfully reached the Teleportation Array of the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm. What Ye Haochuan didn’t expect was that outside the array lay nearly a hundred corpses, and the blood on the ground had already pooled into a creek.

Ye Haochuan frowned slightly and looked up to find several people cautiously approaching them. Leading them was none other than Bai Qing, who was reputed to be the first among those below the Core Formation Stage.

”Senior Brother Bai Qing, long time no see!” Ye Haochuan greeted cheerfully, though he remained puzzled.

”Cut the nonsense. Hand over everything for inspection!” Bai Qing’s voice was icy cold, clearly still holding a grudge against Ye Haochuan for not giving him the Heavenly Star Grass earlier.

What the hell? Inspection my ass! This is blatant robbery, isn’t it?

Ye Haochuan smirked and suddenly chuckled. ”Senior Brother Bai Qing, if your blatant robbery went public, would your mother even know about it?”

With the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger, a capable Core Formation stage expert, by his side, Ye Haochuan had absolutely no fear of Bai Qing at this moment.

”You...” Bai Qing was so enraged by Ye Haochuan’s words that he nearly spat blood and wished he could slap Ye Haochuan to death. However, seeing the raging Crimson Wing Golden Tiger, Bai Qing immediately reined in his anger.

Although he was said to be the best below the Core Formation stage, he still paled in comparison to someone truly in the Core Formation realm.

”This isn’t robbery. It’s to inspect whether you’re members of Hellfire. Hellfire recently launched a grand-scale assault on the geniuses of our Ancient Martial Arts Sect, causing us heavy losses. Naturally, we cannot let anyone leave easily!” Bai Qing explained, his tone neither servile nor arrogant, though slightly softened by the presence of the Golden Tiger.

”Ah, so that’s it!” Ye Haochuan grinned smugly. ”Then you’ve got the wrong people. We happen to be the saviors of Ji Family’s little tigers. Without us luring Hellfire members away, they would’ve been dead by now. So instead of stopping us, you should respectfully see us out—and maybe even throw in some rewards while you’re at it.”

”Ji Family’s little tigers clearly broke through the encirclement by themselves. Speaking such nonsense in front of so many people—aren’t you afraid the Ji Family will come looking for trouble with you?” Bai Qing sneered.

”Who told you they broke through on their own?” Ye Haochuan’s expression instantly darkened.

”They said so themselves. After all, they’re reputable figures. Given the choice between trusting them or you, I’d rather believe their words!” Bai Qing sneered coldly.

Damn, just because someone’s ’reputable’ means they can spout lies and tear down bridges after crossing them?

Ye Haochuan was so furious he nearly swore. To save those two, he had braved countless dangers, narrowly escaping death several times. Yet those two jerks didn’t even bother to mention him.

Ye Haochuan wanted to recount the events in detail but was interrupted by Long Piaoying, who suddenly said, ”Let it go. Perhaps the Ji Family claimed this to save face.”

Save face? Being rescued is embarrassing? What kind of messed-up logic is this?

But when Ye Haochuan thought of the smug and superior demeanor of the Ji Family’s twin tigers, he suddenly got it. Those two definitely boasted about their abilities and intentionally skewed the narrative.

Thinking of this made Ye Haochuan grind his teeth in anger, though he knew there was nothing he could do now. Without substantial evidence, neither Bai Qing nor the entire Xuanmen faction would believe him.

”The two people who returned with Ji Family’s twin bastards—what about them? Are they letting them spout nonsense as well?” Ye Haochuan asked moodily.

”You mean those two? They’re as full of nonsense as you. Because of defamation, they were taken to have tea with the Xuanmen Inspection Team!”

At this, Bai Qing frowned slightly, scrutinizing Ye Haochuan with a questioning look.

Suddenly, he remembered that Zhu Qingshuang and Zhu Tian’s accounts were identical to Ye Haochuan’s.

Could Ji Family’s twin tigers actually be lying?

Bai Qing began to harbor suspicions, but since Ye Haochuan lacked evidence, he wouldn’t offend the Ji Family on mere conjecture.

”I suggest you comply with the inspection. And when you leave, keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, you might end up like the previous two.” Bai Qing advised.

Huh? Is this guy warning me?

Ye Haochuan suddenly felt a hint of goodwill toward Bai Qing. Truthfully, he had been drawn to Bai Qing’s upright demeanor since their first meeting. If it hadn’t been for Li Mei interfering, he likely would’ve handed over the Heavenly Star Grass to Bai Qing.

”Senior Brother Bai Qing, we’ve met before—doesn’t that make us acquaintances? Surely you don’t suspect me of being part of Hellfire?”

”We’ve only met once. How does that make us acquaintances? If we were acquainted, why didn’t you hand over the Heavenly Star Grass to me?” Bai Qing countered with a sly grin.

Damn, still hung up on the Heavenly Star Grass, huh?

Ye Haochuan chuckled awkwardly. ”That wasn’t my fault. How could I have known Chu Feixiang would suddenly lose his mind?”

”Enough nonsense. Comply with the inspection immediately!” Bai Qing snapped impatiently.

”Inspection, huh? I don’t think that’s necessary. See the person behind me? Long Xiaotian’s sister, Long Piaoying. Surely you wouldn’t doubt her, would you?” Left with no choice, Ye Haochuan invoked Long Xiaotian’s name as an authority.

He actually wasn’t sure what role Long Xiaotian played in Xuanmen, but figured someone at the Core Formation stage who founded the renowned Long Group had to be relatively well-known.

Upon hearing Long Xiaotian’s name, Bai Qing furrowed his brow but resolutely declared, ”Everyone leaving must be inspected—even Long Xiaotian himself wouldn’t be exempt!”

Though Long Xiaotian’s status ranked higher than Bai Qing’s, Bai Qing was the disciple of the Divine Brush Judge, Yang Sen. Who did he need to fear?

”Uh...” Ye Haochuan hesitated. His ring contained several valuable items. Not least of which, the remaining Enlightenment Pills could spell trouble if discovered.

”Why the dithering? Just force your way out. You think they can stop me?” The Crimson Wing Golden Tiger had grown impatient.

Bai Qing scowled deeply and snorted. ”Do you think the rules of Xuanmen are so easily broken? If you want to use force, go ahead and try!”

Bai Qing’s confidence was unmistakable, showing no fear of the Core Formation-stage Golden Tiger.

”Fine, let’s give it a shot!” The Crimson Wing Golden Tiger rolled up his sleeves, ready to act.

”Hold it!” Ye Haochuan quickly intervened.

The fact that Bai Qing was conducting inspections likely meant he was operating under orders from Xuanmen. Openly resisting would be tantamount to defying the law—definitely asking for trouble.

”We’re all comrades. Why resort to violence?” Ye Haochuan laughed awkwardly, then turned to Bai Qing, saying, ”I must admit, I regretted the Heavenly Star Grass incident. If I had another chance, I’d hand over the grass to you without hesitation, Senior Brother Bai Qing.”

”Hmph. Saying that now is pointless. Do you still have Heavenly Star Grass?”

”Not Heavenly Star Grass, but...”
