Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1552: Chapter 1552: The Number One Genius, Ye Xiao (Second Update)

”This... how is this possible?” The elder evidently noticed the change in his voice and immediately began to examine his body.

Only then did he realize that his originally withered skin and muscles were now plump and full again. His somewhat hunched back had straightened up.

His entire body felt incredibly smooth, and some hidden injuries within his body had completely healed. The whole person seemed to have suddenly become twenty years younger.

If he were to look into a mirror at this moment, he would surely find that he looked more than just twenty years younger. His face, once old and frail, now appeared at most forty years old.

”Medicinal Cultivator Master, this...” The old man was somewhat at a loss. He sincerely wanted to inquire with Ye Haochuan, but when he attempted to move his gaze away from his own body, he realized Ye Haochuan was already nowhere to be seen.

As for Ye Haochuan, helping a man at the Innate Early Stage wasn’t something he paid much mind to. He simply thought the elder had a good heart and helped him casually.

However, he did not intend to ask for any reward from the elder, so he did not linger. By this time, he had already arrived at the entrance of the Greenstone Pagoda. Ultimately, he chose not to fly using Sword Control but instead used Mystifying Steps to maneuver through the crowd swiftly.

The reason he used Mystifying Steps instead of Great Yan Step was to keep a low profile.

Yet despite this, someone still recognized him.

”Ye Haochuan, he’s the Mysterious Expert!” Just as Ye Haochuan appeared at the pagoda’s entrance, someone called out loudly.

Clearly, this person had probably purchased a pamphlet from the Tingfeng Pavilion.

However, no sooner had this been said than someone retorted, ”What Mysterious Expert, he’s just been hyped by the Tingfeng Pavilion. No matter how formidable he is, could he possibly be more formidable than the five great geniuses?”

”Exactly, never heard of this name before, how could he be some kind of expert?”

”These days, any guy is called handsome, any girl called beautiful. The title of expert has long lost its value!”

”...”

Ye Haochuan chuckled bitterly at the judgment he was receiving, finding it truly uncomfortable. He wondered why those so-called celebrities enjoyed being the center of attention.

Ye Haochuan originally intended to enter the pagoda first, but unfortunately, the doors weren’t open, and he wasn’t allowed to enter, so he just stood there stupidly.

At that moment, quite a number of people were already gathered outside the pagoda. However, all of them were dressed in fine garments, holding themselves proudly.

Ye Haochuan’s casual stance and attire stood out awkwardly among them. He seemed more like an attendant of the geniuses rather than one of the top thirty super experts of the Greenstone Society.

”Look, the Eldest Young Master Ye is here!” Someone shouted, causing almost everyone’s gaze to shift.

Many girls and women couldn’t help but shriek, like infatuated fans in the Secular World seeing a Korean pop star.

Ye Xiao approached slowly on an obsidian Flying Sword, not rushing in the slightest. Behind him were several distinguished young talents.

Ye Haochuan had seen these people before; they all seemed to be geniuses from the Ye Family who made it into the top thirty. But at this moment, these geniuses lined up properly behind Ye Xiao, not daring to overstep in the slightest.

Unlike others, Ye Xiao didn’t intentionally flaunt extravagantly to grab attention. Even so, he still became the center of focus because he, by himself, was the point of interest.

The geniuses who had been waiting beside Ye Haochuan paled in comparison. They showed no trace of resentment, instead greeting Ye Xiao with utmost respect, intentionally flying half a body lower to express their reverence.

Such was the evident influence and status of the number one genius.

Among the entire crowd, it seemed only Ye Haochuan remained calmly standing there, looking at Ye Xiao with an indifferent gaze.

This standing-out behavior quickly caught Ye Xiao’s attention.

Before Ye Xiao could say anything, someone reprimanded Ye Haochuan, ”You ignorant thing, seeing the Eldest Young Master Ye, why aren’t you coming forward to greet him?”

Upon hearing this, all eyes gathered back on Ye Haochuan, full of reproach.

”Who is this person, so clueless about the world!”

”I would say just some country bumpkin who doesn’t recognize the majesty of the Eldest Young Master Ye!”

”Fools like this need a good lesson to understand what respect means!”

”...”

At that moment, the crowd seemed to transform into a gathering of fanatical followers.

Ye Haochuan actually ignoring Ye Xiao wasn’t against the moral Law Code, but to these fanatics, their idol was everything. Anyone disrespecting their idol was unforgivable, as if he had violated their daughters.

Ye Xiao watched Ye Haochuan from afar, not stopping anyone, instead coldly observing, ready to enjoy the show.

He had encountered Ye Haochuan several times, always ending up at a disadvantage, much to his annoyance. As long as it hurt Ye Haochuan, irrespective of the means, he was happy to see it happen.

Yet at this moment, Ye Haochuan seemed completely unaware that he had incurred the wrath of the crowd. He continued gazing at Ye Xiao calmly from afar, his blank expression suggesting he might even be daydreaming a bit.

”Damn, I’ve had enough!” A few hideous old women erupted in anger, immediately charging towards the lower platform of the pagoda with the intention of devouring Ye Haochuan.

Unfortunately, the pagoda had guards to prevent unrelated individuals from entering. Seeing the commotion, they immediately exerted pressure.

These guards possessed Core Formation Late Stage cultivation, a level not many among the audience could attain. Under their pressure, everyone stepped back several paces, and some with lower cultivation were even pressed to their knees.

The guard wasn’t genuinely trying to help Ye Haochuan, but rather afraid of the chaos a flood of people entering could cause, disrupting the order of the Greenstone Society.

The audience’s emotions also affected the geniuses hovering above. A cultivator standing behind Ye Xiao, seeing Ye Haochuan still ’at large’ and unrepentant, was furious and immediately unfurled a Long Halberd towards Ye Haochuan.

”Arrogant scoundrel, meet your death!”

This young man was at the Core Formation Late Stage, and with a thrust of the Long Halberd, a dragon-like, phoenix-like pale yellow light spiraled around the halberd, resonating with an awe-inspiring roar.

The audience below immediately suffered as collateral damage. Although the young man’s target was Ye Haochuan, the forceful release of Core Formation Stage pressure caused them to cover their ears and scream. Some, worse off, already had blood streaming from their eyes and mouths.

Who knows if these so-called fans ever considered, in their frenzied support of Ye Xiao, that they might become collateral damage due to one of Ye Xiao’s followers?

Or perhaps, in the eyes of these fanatics, all this should be blamed on Ye Haochuan. If not for his disrespect towards Ye Xiao, how could they be suffering?
