Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1690: Chapter 1690: Ungrateful!

”Lan~Lan’er!” The Old Woman was momentarily lost, and her two large hands lost control, instantly turning into dust.

”Hoo~” Ye Haochuan finally let out a sigh of relief. Facing such overwhelming pressure, it truly tested one’s endurance.

”I say, couldn’t you have come out a bit earlier? Made me suffer for so long?” Ye Haochuan said with a bitter smile.

”I just wanted to see how formidable you little guy really are. The fact proves, even though I tried to overestimate you, I still underestimated you. To possess such power at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, you could be considered the first in history!” Liu Xianglan praised.

This was not just a courtesy from Liu Xianglan, as everyone present felt the same. Not only did Ye Haochuan instantly kill a Nascent Soul Late Stage, but he also wasn’t crushed under the presence of a Nascent Soul Peak master. Apart from Ye Haochuan, no one else could achieve this.

”To be praised by the legendary Blood Zither Heavenly Maiden, I’ve got bragging rights for the future!” Ye Haochuan forced a smile.

Liu Xianglan chuckled lightly, stopped talking to Ye Haochuan, floated to the front of the Old Woman, knelt, and said, ”Master, your disciple has returned!”

”Senior Sister Liu, is it really you?” The Old Woman was still a bit dazed, but a red-dressed female cultivator beside her spoke first.

”Junior Sister Ding, it’s been thirty years, yet you’re as straightforward as ever!” Liu Xianglan laughed, ”It’s just that your cultivation seems to have made no progress in thirty years, still cultivating carelessly?”

The doubt in the red-dressed female cultivator’s eyes turned into tenderness, and tears flowed out.

She didn’t go up to Liu Xianglan, but instead knelt abruptly on the ground, shouting, ”Welcome back to the Sect, Sect Master!”

The Old Woman was the Sect Master of the previous generation. The new Sect Master was Liu Xianglan. After Liu Xianglan’s sudden downfall thirty years ago, the Phantom Sound Pavilion did not appoint a new Sect Master, but rather had the Old Sect Master temporarily assume the position.

”Welcome back to the Sect, Sect Master!” Everyone in the Phantom Sound Pavilion knelt down, and their voices showed how excited they were at this moment.

Even Gongsun Zhi, though reluctant in her heart, knelt down after everyone around did. However, the moment she knelt, she was still thinking about how to break the situation.

The return of Liu Xianglan was absolutely bad news for her. If she did not come up with a plan to break the situation, she would be in danger.

Under the collective calls of everyone, the Old Woman suddenly seemed to wake up.

”Lan’er, is it really you? Weren’t you already... am I dreaming?” Tears also filled the Old Woman’s eyes, she choked.

Back then, Liu Xianglan was harmed, barely escaped back, but her physical and soul injuries were beyond salvation. As soon as she entered the mountain gate, she collapsed and perished, not even having time to be saved.

This was all witnessed by the Old Woman herself.

”Master, Lan’er did indeed die. Only a remnant soul floated back to the Vermilion Bird Peak. It was nurtured there to allow my soul to reconsolidate.” Liu Xianglan choked as well.

”It’s good that you’re back, it’s good!” The Old Woman trembled as she spoke, clearly showing how emotional she was, ”By the way, who harmed you? Our Phantom Sound Pavilion has investigated for so many years but found no results. Who exactly is this person?”

Regarding the incident of Liu Xianglan’s harm, there were no clues or evidence. But everyone knew that Liu Xianglan was definitely killed by a conspiracy. Otherwise, with Liu Xianglan’s cultivation, even if she couldn’t win, she would’ve had the chance to escape.

Liu Xianglan said nothing, just glanced at Gongsun Zhi, and coldly said, ”At that time, I had no evidence. Someone told me that the cultivators of Hellfire were harming people at Brown Roaring Mountain, and I rushed there, only to be ambushed by Hellfire and the Xuanming Sect, severely injuring my soul and body...”

Gongsun Zhi briefly recounted the past, saying that the one who led the ambush against her was the Sect Master of the Xuanming Sect. First, using a soul cultivation technique to severely damage her soul, then four Nascent Soul Peak cultivators attacked together, causing her downfall.

Seeing Liu Xianglan staring at her, Gongsun Zhi’s heart skipped a beat. However, with her cunning, she wouldn’t admit defeat just because of this.

Feigning realization, she said, ”I remember, it was Kong Ling who brought back the news back then, then she mysteriously disappeared. I suspected her at that time but couldn’t find her afterward. Hearing Senior Sister Liu’s description, it must be that she collaborated with the Evil Sect to harm Senior Sister Liu.”

The Old Woman nodded slightly upon hearing this, and said to Liu Xianglan, ”Over the years, Gongsun Zhi has been diligently investigating your matters, reporting new progress to me every year. Unfortunately, the clues when you left were too few, so the progress has always been slow.

Now that you’re back, cooperate with her to investigate the past thoroughly. I swear here, I will tear the one who harmed you into pieces!”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Phantom Sound Pavilion nodded. In their hearts, Gongsun Zhi had always been dedicated to the Phantom Sound Pavilion, and passionate about investigating Liu Xianglan’s incident, so letting her continue the investigation seemed reasonable.

”So it was always her investigating, no wonder there hasn’t been any progress for thirty years!” Ye Haochuan suddenly sneered at the side.

”Ye Haochuan, what do you mean?” Gongsun Zhi was secretly pleased because of the trust from the Old Woman and others, but suddenly hearing Ye Haochuan’s words, anger surged in her.

Ye Haochuan scoffed and said, ”Isn’t my statement clear enough? In thirty years, even a pig could have turned up some clues, right?”

”Yes, letting the culprit find evidence against themselves, can we really expect any evidence?”

”Ye Haochuan, stop spewing nonsense! I’ve always admired Senior Sister Liu, how could I harm her?”

Gongsun Zhi snorted coldly, looking at the Old Woman with a wronged expression, ”Old Sect Master, you must stand up for me. My efforts over these thirty years have been seen by you. If you don’t stand for me, I’ll only crash to my death here to prove my innocence!”

The Old Woman nodded and said, ”Indeed, if it weren’t for Gongsun Zhi all these years, how could we have cultivated with such peace of mind? Boy, because you brought my Lan’er back, I spared you. But if you continue with such nonsense, I will not forgive you.”

”If you think I’m talking nonsense, then treat it as nonsense. After all, whether your Phantom Sound Pavilion survives or not has nothing to do with this young master!” Ye Haochuan said unpleasantly.

”You brat, how dare you curse my Phantom Sound Pavilion, prepare to die!” The Old Woman snorted coldly, intending to strike again.

Damn, what an ungrateful old woman!

Ye Haochuan cursed in his heart.
