Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1529: Chapter 1529: That Old Woman Really Is Vain! (4 Updates)

”Junior Brother Ye Xian, are you looking for my brother for any particular reason?” Yang Xin noticed Ye Xian’s peculiar behavior and asked.

Ye Xian gave an awkward smile and said, ”To be frank, Brother Xin, I do have something to ask Brother Yi. However, last night when I went to his residence, I couldn’t find him, and he didn’t answer my call either.”

”Oh? I’m curious what matter has made Junior Brother Ye Xian so eager? If you trust me, I can pass on the message for you.”

”This...” Ye Xian was taken aback, then awkwardly said, ”It’s nothing major. I’ll ask Brother Yi next time I see him.”

It wasn’t that Ye Xian didn’t trust Yang Xin, but there were still some questionable aspects about last night. Additionally, he didn’t understand why Yang Yi was fighting with the Heavenly Eye Awakeners of the Ye Family.

Such matters could very likely lead to tensions between the two families. It’s better to investigate thoroughly before discussing it with others.

Seeing that Ye Xian was unwilling to elaborate, Yang Xin didn’t pry further as the two chatted and made their way to the stage.

Ye Haochuan was still unaware that it was his battle last night that made Ye Xian so eager. At this moment, he withdrew his gaze from Ye Xian and Yang Xin and focused on the burly man on stage.

There were a total of five judges: Ye Xian, Yang Xin, and the burly man made up three of them.

As for the other two, Ye Haochuan could roughly guess which factions they might belong to. The burly man seemed to be with Long Yang’s group, so he’s likely from the Long Family. Ye Xian and Yang Xin represented the Ye and Yang Families, leaving the Phantom Sound Pavilion and the Ji Family as the only remaining.

Indeed, a few minutes later, an overwhelmingly enticing fragrance wafted through the air. All the youthful and vigorous males immediately glanced around to locate the source of the fragrance.

In an instant, a captivating figure floated gracefully over the crowd’s heads. Her garments fluttered like a celestial being flying in the clouds. Her soft toes touched the ground gently as she gracefully landed on the stage.

Her stunning beauty, as if chiseled from gold and jade, left people entranced. Her exquisite figure seemed like a Heavenly Maiden descending to the world, captivating hearts.

”How can there be such a beauty in this world?” Liu Sheng’s eyes glazed over as he muttered dumbly.

Liu Sheng was not someone unfamiliar with beauty. Be it Zhu Wenjing or Fan Qingyin and Long Piaoying, they were all top-notch beauties. Yet none of these extraordinary ladies received such a high appraisal from him.

Ye Haochuan instinctively wanted to nod, but the next moment, he was taken aback.

Is this woman truly that beautiful?

Ye Haochuan quickly focused, trying to discern exactly what made her so beautiful. However, no matter how closely he looked, he felt unable to describe her appearance.

He only felt that her beauty was at times gentle as water, sometimes enchanting and alluring, sometimes languidly fetching sympathy, and sometimes competent and charming. It felt surreal, like a dream!

The more Ye Haochuan looked, the more he felt something amiss, murmuring to himself, ”Could this be an illusion?”

The moment this thought emerged, he instinctively wanted to activate his Perspective.

But the next instant, he halted that thought.

The golden light emitted by his Perspective Eyes was clearly the hallmark of a Heavenly Eye Awakener. With Ye Xian, the top expert of the Ye Family present, if Ye Haochuan rashly used Perspective, his identity would inevitably be exposed.

Before understanding why his father abandoned their family, he didn’t want the Ye Family to discover him so soon.

Although he couldn’t use his eyes to break the Phantom Realm, Ye Haochuan wasn’t without other solutions.

Firstly, the Vermilion Bird Illusionary Seal was an extremely powerful Phantom Technique; secondly, the stele on Vermilion Bird Peak also recorded methods for breaking illusions.

He had previously experienced some illusions when scaling Vermilion Bird Peak, gaining some experience in breaking them.

At once, he suddenly closed his eyes, dispelling all notions of beauty, rapidly calming his heart.

Beauty and ugliness are human constructs that create such distinctions after definitions are imposed.

The essence of this illusion still roots in one’s mind. It draws on one’s fantasies about beauty, making them indulge helplessly.

Ye Haochuan suppressed notions of beauty and ugliness, only focusing on the essence of objects. The illusion then had no targets to work on and would dissipate naturally.

It might be because the old woman had only reached Nascent Soul Mid-Stage, which matched Ye Haochuan’s true strength. When Ye Haochuan reopened his eyes, all the enchanting scenes had vanished.

What he saw was the figure on stage, with sagging skin and drooping eye corners, heavily wrinkled.

Judging her face, she looked like a sixty-year-old woman, a stark contrast to the previous scene. Not to mention her out-of-shape, overweight figure, which evoked no interest whatsoever.

Damn it, this old woman is truly vain. Clearly looking like this, yet she insists on using illusions to solicit greedy admirers’ stares.

Ye Haochuan’s eyes showed disdain.

After cultivators undergo cultivation, their lifespans extend, and they maintain themselves better than ordinary people. Like Long Piaoying, who is in her eighties and still appears in her twenties.

Given this woman’s vanity, she surely took care of herself. So her current appearance can only mean one thing: she truly is old.

Ye Haochuan speculated that this woman might even be older than Yang Sen and Ye Hao, possibly a several-hundred-year-old hag.

One wonders whether these youths irresistibly ”infatuated” by her fantasy appearance would vomit yesterday’s meals after seeing her real face and learning her true age.

Just as Ye Haochuan was sarcastically musing, he felt a gaze directed his way.

”Is that you?” The person said with some surprise.

This wasn’t anyone else but the Ye Xian on stage.

Not to mention that Ye Xian’s cultivation was higher than the old woman’s; even his Heavenly Eye couldn’t be disturbed by the illusions of the Phantom Sound Pavilion. Thus, upon discovering someone had also seen through this illusion, he immediately turned his gaze.

Ye Haochuan had met Ye Xian several times, and Ye Xian had saved him twice, leaving him with a favorable impression, so he smiled and greeted him.

The crowd below was still engulfed in the illusion and paid no attention to his words.

However, Yang Xin and others on stage, attracted by Ye Xian’s words, also turned their attention towards Ye Haochuan.

The burly man and Yang Xin were merely surprised that Ye Haochuan saw through the illusion, but the old woman was somewhat angry, wanting to strike again, yet Ye Xian stopped her.

”Senior Dong, this young one is an old acquaintance of mine, please forgive him!”

Though her cultivation was inferior to Ye Xian’s, he still addressed her as ’Senior,’ clearly due to her age.

The old woman gave a cold snort, knowing she couldn’t make a move with Ye Xian present, and turned her head to the side.

”I didn’t expect in just over a month, you’ve advanced to this level!” Having appeased the old woman, Ye Xian turned back with a smile.

It’s no wonder he was astonished. The first time he saw Ye Haochuan, he had just broken through to the Core Formation Early Stage. Now, just over a month later, Ye Haochuan had reached the Core Formation Late Stage; such cultivation speed was truly astounding.

After helping Ye Haochuan enter the White Court Origin Realm, he wanted to inquire about Ye Haochuan’s circumstances, but unfortunately, during their two encounters, he hadn’t asked Ye Haochuan’s name, so had no way to follow up.

Recalling the assault on The Pentagon, Ye Xian’s eyes lit up, giving rise to some suspicions.
