Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1641: Chapter 1641: Isn’t This Woman a Little Too Impulsive?

In just three days, the previously vast and empty Long Alliance base had become overcrowded. Ye Haochuan had to order a halt to new recruits, much to the disappointment of many cultivators who had come a long way.

This recruitment had brought nearly a hundred people. Although it doesn’t seem like much, the Long Alliance initially had too few core members, and recruiting too many newcomers at once might inevitably lead to a situation where the tail wags the dog.

The development of the Long Alliance needs to be steady and gradual.

On this point, Ye Haochuan was not too worried since they had already formed an alliance with the Cold Flame Alliance, and no one could pose a threat to the Long Alliance for the time being.

The one most pleased about the Long Alliance becoming the true Supreme Alliance wasn’t Ye Haochuan, but Long Xiaotian. The height that the Long Group had never achieved in the past was now reached by the Long Alliance, bringing him to tears as he drank by his son’s grave.

Initially, the Long Group also had this potential. Unfortunately, they were persecuted before they could fully grow.

Long Xiaotian was always determined to seek justice for his son and the members of the Long Group, but unfortunately, because of authority issues, he was never able to succeed. The trail of those who persecuted the Long Group completely disappeared within the Liu Family.

Now, Long Xiaotian had another chance to continue his investigation. After Gu Shun was taken down, the position of Chief Inspector of the Inspection Group was vacant. Long Xiaotian seized this opportunity, successfully applying for the role of Chief Inspector of the Inspection Group.

In fact, the basic facts about the Long Group’s situation were already clear. Back then, the Long Group was at odds with Hellfire and other evil sects everywhere. Their stubborn refusal to surrender made them targets of resentment, and with the help of an undercover agent, the members of the Long Group were killed.

Most of those who orchestrated these events have likely perished due to their failures in recent evil sect actions, particularly in a self-destruct incident during a squad battle failure last time.

However, Long Xiaotian was still intent on uncovering the entire sequence of events so he could be at peace.

Ye Haochuan naturally wouldn’t ignore matters related to the Long Group and Long Xiaotian. Thus, investigating the truth of the Long Group’s massacre became the Long Alliance’s first mission after its establishment in the Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm.

That day, the Long Alliance unexpectedly welcomed its first visitor since the recruitment began. However, the guest’s expression wasn’t pleasant.

”Manager Long, what wind brought this esteemed Buddha to us?” Ye Haochuan greeted with a smile.

The visitor was indeed Long Rui, the shopkeeper of Tingfeng Pavilion.

”Great Alliance Master Ye, are you poking fun at me on purpose?” Long Rui hummed with a stiff face, ”You’re in the spotlight right now, winning the top prize of the Greenstone Society and holding the title of Supreme Alliance. Compared to you, I’m not even an ant, let alone a great Buddha.”

”Oh? So, Manager Long acknowledges my abilities? It seems I’ve taken another step closer to marrying Keyue.” Ye Haochuan laughed heartily.

Long Rui hummed softly, ”I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. Although your strength indeed exceeds everyone’s expectations, Keyue’s husband will ultimately be Young Master Ye Xiao.”

”Unexpectedly, the prestigious Long Family is full of such short-sighted people! Even at this point, you refuse to abandon the Ye Family, that mighty tree.” Ye Haochuan sneered.

”The Xuanmen’s foremost family isn’t so easily overlooked. Moreover, Young Master Ye Xiao, despite being defeated by you, is still the best son-in-law for our Long Family!”

”Ha! Such grandiose words. Besides his family background, what else does Ye Xiao have that can compare to me?” Ye Haochuan smirked.

Long Rui chuckled lightly, ”Why he’s the best son-in-law concerns the secrets of our Long Family. I can’t disclose it to you. I’ll only tell you that Long Keyue will never marry you.”

”Whether she marries or not isn’t up to you, is it?” Ye Haochuan scoffed, ”Since you’re not here to discuss Long Keyue, why are you here? Or are you just here to congratulate our Long Alliance on becoming the Supreme Alliance?”

”Sorry, I haven’t enough free time for that!” Long Rui shook her head gently.

She originally had a great appreciation for Ye Haochuan, but that admiration turned entirely into resentment when Ye Haochuan stubbornly insisted on pursuing Long Keyue.

”I’m here this time to deliver Spirit Crystals to you, Great Alliance Master Ye! Have you forgotten that you once placed a bet at my Tingfeng Pavilion?”

”A bet?” Ye Haochuan was taken aback, then remembered placing a bet back then that he could defeat Ye Xiao. The odds weren’t low, one to a hundred.

He had indeed forgotten about it. Even if he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have had the time to collect, as there were just too many things happening during this period.

”I never expected Tingfeng Pavilion to have such good credibility, even personally delivering it, haha!” Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but smile.

”To gather this money, I’ve worn out my legs and mouth, endured countless scoldings. Unexpectedly, Great Alliance Master Ye is so wealthy that a few billion Spirit Crystals don’t matter at all. I had no choice but to deliver them myself to avoid rumors of our Tingfeng Pavilion lacking credibility.” Long Rui remarked in a tone devoid of humor.

No wonder her tone was unfavorable. Ye Haochuan and the others had bet a total of 3.3 million Spirit Crystals back then. She hadn’t believed Ye Haochuan could defeat Ye Xiao and had set the odds too high.

Three hundred thirty thousand multiplied by a hundred is 3.3 billion. Mind you, these are Superior Spirit Crystals, not ordinary Low-Grade Spirit Crystals. Even selling the entire Tingfeng Pavilion along with herself wouldn’t raise that much money.

If it wasn’t for Tingfeng Pavilion having the mighty Long Family to rely on, this sum could never be gathered.

This also stemmed from the Long Family’s desire not to let Ye Haochuan grasp at any talking points about them. Otherwise, with the Long Family’s influence, the payout could have been adjusted further.

But as a result, Long Rui naturally couldn’t receive any good treatment. Many senior members of the Long Family blamed this blunder on her, causing her much distress.

Ye Haochuan had no idea what Long Rui had gone through. He collected the Spirit Crystals handed over by Long Rui, his spirits lifting as he saw it was completely filled with Spirit Crystals.

Initially, placing this bet was just a matter of pride. He hadn’t expected that through this method, he would acquire such a large sum, essentially hitting the jackpot.

”Alright, the Spirit Crystals have been delivered. I’ll take my leave now!” Long Rui cupped her hands slightly and was about to turn to leave.

”Why hurry, Manager Long? Our Long Alliance is now the Supreme Alliance. We’re bound to collaborate frequently with Tingfeng Pavilion in the future. Why don’t we go inside, have some tea, and discuss our future cooperation?” Ye Haochuan said with a smile.

”You’ve overestimated us, Great Alliance Master Ye. Your Long Alliance is the Supreme Alliance; our Tingfeng Pavilion doesn’t have the qualifications to aim so high.” Long Rui was evidently still upset, her tone not too pleasant.

Damn, this woman is too emotional, isn’t she?

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but feel frustrated.

Considering Long Rui’s status, she should be more rational, right? How could she let her personal dislike for Ye Haochuan cloud her judgment and outright deny collaboration between the two major powers?
