Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1428: Chapter 1428: Eating? (Third Update)

Actually, Guan Ling has made a lot of efforts, but for someone like him who has no resources and whose cultivation has been wasted, these things are indeed too difficult.

So, undoubtedly, all these attempts ended in failure, and the main reason for all this is the Bai Family’s deeply entrenched interpersonal network and powerful influence.

”You’ve suffered!”

Ye Haochuan also felt distressed hearing this, but at the same time, he was immensely pleased that his Long Alliance had someone so dedicated and loyal.

”Later, I really had no choice. Everything I had was taken away by the Bai Family. Without a token, I couldn’t leave the city or do anything, so I could only beg near the city gate, hoping to one day meet you, the Alliance Hierarch...”

”Sure enough, perseverance paid off, and today, I finally waited for you...”

Guan Ling didn’t respond to Ye Haochuan; tears silently fell from the corners of his eyes. A grown man was forced to such an extent by others, and the pressure he endured was unimaginable.

”Alright! We’ll set off now! Guan Ling, you lead the way; we’re going to rescue Liu Sheng and the others!”

Ye Haochuan, upon hearing Guan Ling’s words, couldn’t contain his anxious emotions any longer. He stood up, ready to head to the Bai Family immediately.

”Wait a minute, Alliance Hierarch, I heard the Bai Family Head is a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage expert! Also, the Bai Family has several Nascent Soul Early Stage experts.”

Guan Ling stood in front of Ye Haochuan, conveying all the information he knew to him.

”Damn! So there’s a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage? And several Nascent Soul Early Stage? This is troublesome.”

Ye Haochuan paused, stopping in his tracks. He had no problem dealing with Nascent Soul Early Stage, but Nascent Soul Mid-Stage was significantly stronger than Early Stage.

”Alliance Hierarch, I can go as the ’bait’ to lure them out while you take the opportunity to rescue Liu Sheng and the others.”

Guan Ling stood in front of Ye Haochuan, a look of tragic determination on his face.

”Nonsense, what are you talking about? Are you qualified to be ’bait’? A few Core Formation practitioners would deal with you easily.”

Ye Haochuan quickly stopped Guan Ling. If he let him go, wouldn’t it be like sending a meat bun to a dog, never to be seen again?

”I...”

Guan Ling touched his own face and lowered his head dejectedly.

Ye Haochuan saw Guan Ling’s discomfort and wondered if he was too harsh, so he comforted him: ”Guan Ling, don’t worry. Once this is over, I’ll think of a way to restore your appearance, ensuring you look exactly as before, without a single scar!”

”Really? My face can be restored?”

Upon hearing this, Guan Ling immediately became excited. Originally, he thought he would live like this for the rest of his life, but he didn’t expect Ye Haochuan could restore him.

”Don’t worry, I’ll keep my word!”

Ye Haochuan looked into Guan Ling’s eyes and said seriously.

”Thank... thank you, Alliance Hierarch!” Guan Ling immediately teared up, even his voice choked with emotion.

”Alright, now let’s go eat first!”

After comforting Guan Ling, Ye Haochuan said this.

”Eat?”

Upon hearing Ye Haochuan, Fan Qingyin was stunned. Shouldn’t they first think of a way to save people?

”But... but...”

Guan Ling was also turning anxiously; he had escaped his troubles, but his brothers were still struggling in ”Hell!” Though he stopped Ye Haochuan earlier.

But he was actually more anxious than Ye Haochuan and mentioned those things in hopes that Ye Haochuan would come up with a good plan or seek reinforcements, not give up!

”Don’t worry, listen to me. Eating is just a guise; gathering intel is the real aim. Think about it, how much do we know about the Bai Family? If it weren’t for Guan Ling earlier, we might have just been sending ourselves to the wolves. As they say, know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle. So our most important task now is to understand the Bai Family’s situation, making it easier for us to rescue the people.”

Ye Haochuan sighed and explained to the two. In fact, he was more anxious than anyone but forced himself to stay calm.

Otherwise, not only would they fail to save anyone, but they might also end up getting caught themselves. Like before, if it weren’t for Guan Ling’s information, how would he know the Bai Family had a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage expert?

”Oh...”

After hearing Ye Haochuan’s explanation, the two nodded, somewhat understanding, and stopped talking.

Soon, they arrived at the tavern entrance. It was even livelier than when Ye Haochuan first entered. With a glance, he noticed even a few Core Formation cultivators among the diners.

”Oh my! Sir, any orders?”

The shop assistant who had shown Ye Haochuan the way earlier ran over immediately upon seeing him, having earned quite a commission from renting Ye Haochuan a private courtyard.

”Any seats? We’d like to eat something,” Ye Haochuan said casually.

”Yes, yes! Sir, please this way!”

The shop assistant, hearing this, smiled even more obsequiously and promptly led Ye Haochuan and the others to a square table, handing a menu to Ye Haochuan.

He then took the cloth off his shoulder and vigorously wiped the table, fetched three cups of tea from a nearby cabinet, and placed them in front of the three.

”Blood Rhinoceros Roast? 10-100,000 superior spirit crystals? Crimson Cloud Snake Porridge? 30-200,000 superior spirit crystals? Purple Wing Green Bird Skewer? 100-1,000,000?... Shop assistant, just bring me three random dishes to try first.”

After going through it for a while and finding only unheard-of dishes, Ye Haochuan said helplessly. He was here for information, not for the food.

”Got it! Sir, please wait a moment; I’ll prepare a Foundation Establishment Stage dish and a Core Formation Stage dish for you to try. Let me know if there’s anything you like!”

The shop assistant was sharp and noticed Ye Haochuan didn’t want too much disturbance, so he tactfully left.

Foundation Establishment Stage food? Core Formation Stage food?

Ye Haochuan was quite startled by these terms, but then he shook his head, casting those thoughts aside and starting to listen to the nearby conversations.

”Did you hear? Something valuable appeared on Howling Mountain, and many large families have gone there.”

A conversation among three burly men in a corner caught Ye Haochuan’s attention.

”Heh, not just the big families; I also heard that many small families even had their Family Heads go over, and some loose cultivators too... Brothers, why don’t we take a look?”

A slightly lewd voice suggested quietly.

”Get lost... also weigh your abilities; is this something you can get involved in?”

Saying this, the owner of the voice looked around, noticed no one was paying attention, and then changed the topic, continuing to eat and drink.

Ye Haochuan listened for a little longer but found no new information. He couldn’t help but frown. So many people, yet no one was discussing things related to the Bai Family?
