Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1467: Chapter 1467: Did I Say That? (Second Update)

Although Ye Xiao seems difficult to fool, Ye Haochuan is not someone who would easily give up.

”My ’Divine Skill’ consumes a great deal. If I perform it again without any benefits, I’d be at a loss!” Ye Haochuan suddenly chuckled.

Ye Xiao snorted lightly and said, ”If you can pull off another one, I’ll give you a hundred more—as if that’s a problem!”

”A hundred? That’s quite a lot!” Ye Haochuan said thoughtfully, ”But, since you didn’t fulfill the first bet, how do I know you’ll actually honor the second one?”

”You...” Ye Xiao was momentarily speechless, gritting his teeth, ”Fine, I’ll give it to you, let’s see how you back out then!”

After saying that, Ye Xiao rummaged through his ring several times but only took out six jade tokens, totaling seven with the one given before.

Seeing this, Ye Haochuan said with a half-smile, ”The esteemed Young Master of the Ye Family can’t possibly fail to cover a small bet, can he?”

Ye Xiao’s expression became extremely unpleasant, inwardly cursing, ”Small bet my foot, these are ten tokens that allow entry into the Holy Land!”

Despite Ye Xiao’s ”wealthy and affluent” nature, opportunities to enter the Holy Land are not infinite. Having six or seven jade tokens on hand is already a unique presence in the Ancient Martial Arts Sect.

”Take these first, the rest—I’ll send someone to deliver them!” Ye Xiao’s tone remained calm, though his face flushed slightly.

Ye Haochuan reluctantly accepted the jade tokens, saying, ”Alright, I’ll keep a record of the remaining ones and come find you for them later.”

He then handed a token to Elder Pei, asking, ”Can I enter now?”

Elder Pei received the token and nodded with a smile.

”Wait!” Ye Xiao suddenly shouted, ”You said you’d do it again!”

”Did I say that?” Ye Haochuan responded with a look of ”innocence.”

”You...” Ye Xiao suddenly realized that he’d been played by Ye Haochuan.

Ye Haochuan merely mentioned that performing the so-called Divine Skill consumed a lot and couldn’t be done without a bet. He never clearly stated that if the bet was given, he’d perform it a second time.

”You bastard, I’m going to kill you!” Ye Xiao shrieked like a hen with its foot stamped, charging toward Ye Haochuan.

Unfortunately, before Ye Haochuan could make a move, Elder Pei stopped him.

”Young Master Ye, you must submit a token to enter!”

Ye Xiao’s expression was sour, his voice cold, ”I’ve been conned out of all my tokens by this brat—I don’t have any left!”

”Without a token, you cannot enter—that’s the rule!” Elder Pei responded without a hint of empathy.

Ye Xiao was furious, gritting his teeth, ”I’ll have someone send them over later!”

”Well, then wait until they’re delivered. The token must be submitted before entering the Holy Land—it’s the rule!” Elder Pei insisted.

”You...” Ye Xiao was fuming; Elder Pei was notoriously rigid, and if he refused entry, words were pointless.

”Alas, truly pitiful!” Ye Haochuan suddenly turned, smiling, ”Seeing how pathetic you are, I shall show mercy. Just kneel and kowtow to me, call me grandfather, and I might generously give you a jade token. How about that?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. These were precisely the words he had said to Ye Haochuan, now returned verbatim.

Humiliation, extreme humiliation!

From childhood, Ye Xiao had been a cherished figure, never facing such shame. Now, he wished he could rip Ye Haochuan’s mouth into eighteen pieces and use a small knife to scrape him bit by bit.

”You just wait—for someday, I’ll tear you to pieces!” Ye Xiao shouted defiantly.

Elder Pei, overhearing, suddenly interjected, ”Young Master Ye, harming fellow sect members is a grave crime; watch your words!”

My goodness, isn’t Elder Pei quite the divine assist!

Ye Haochuan suddenly found Elder Pei increasingly endearing.

Elder Pei wasn’t really siding with Ye Haochuan; he was simply being ”straightforward” by reminding Ye Xiao. But to Ye Xiao, those words were like salt and chili on a wound.

Ye Xiao clutched his chest, gasping heavily, his expression extremely fierce—obviously quite infuriated.

If he weren’t young and hearty, he might have spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

Ye Haochuan appeared ”oblivious,” raising a jade token with a ”peaceful” grin at Ye Xiao, ”Young Master Ye, would you consider it? If you miss this chance, you’ll have to wait a long time!”

Yet another of Ye Xiao’s previous words returned unchanged by Ye Haochuan, as if angering someone without consequence.

”Get lost!” Ye Xiao bellowed, his legs nearly buckling.

Heh, act arrogant before me—I’ll drive you mad!

Ye Haochuan chuckled, no longer bothered to speak, and walked toward the Five Elements Holy Marrow Pool.

Following Elder Pei’s direction, Ye Haochuan quickly found an opening in the barrier.

As Ye Haochuan prepared to enter, Elder Pei suddenly appeared by his side.

”Little fellow, what’s your name?”

”Must I answer this to enter?” Ye Haochuan asked with a smile.

”No requirement to answer; I’m just curious about which family’s offspring is so young and promising, daring to challenge the Young Master of the Ye Family?”

”I’m no scion of a great family,” Ye Haochuan muttered disdainfully, ”I’m just a nameless wild kid, and as for my name—it’s not worth mentioning!”

With that, he saluted Elder Pei and turned to enter through the opening.

Not saying his name wasn’t due to unfamiliarity with Elder Pei; he simply wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Elder Pei gazed thoughtfully at Ye Haochuan’s departing figure, murmuring, ”Judging by his age and cultivation, could he be the little guy from the White Court Origin Realm? But no, wasn’t that kid supposed to be dead?”

Ye Haochuan had accomplished quite a bit in the White Court Origin Realm, but he hadn’t engaged much with the Xuanmen’s upper echelons. Even when he later attended the consultation meeting with Yang Sen, only a few true top-ranking ones had seen him.

Clearly, Elder Pei wasn’t one of those people.

The opening in the barrier seemed like just a gap but was, in fact, a transparent gate. As Ye Haochuan stepped inside, ripples like water appeared on the gate.

The next moment, Ye Haochuan felt the surrounding Spiritual Energy density surge several times.

Wow, it truly is a treasure land!

Ye Haochuan mentally exclaimed.

”Come over here to pick a zone!” a clear female voice suddenly called.

Ye Haochuan then noticed there was a graceful woman standing by the gate. She appeared to be in her thirties, wearing a traditional Hanfu. Though not as beautiful as Zhu Wenjing, she had a comforting presence.

”The Five Elements Holy Marrow Pool has a total of 108 zones. Typically, one person per zone is allowed, though unmarked areas can be chosen...”

Apparently noticing that Ye Haochuan was a first-timer, the woman patiently explained.
