Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1702: Chapter 1702: Father?

”Great, the Family Head caught him!”

”Phew! Finally caught him...”

”The Family Head is mighty!”

”...”

Seeing Ye Haochuan captured by the Patriarch of the Long Family and about to meet his end, everyone in the Long Family let out a long breath, and their hearts couldn’t help but relax.

”Stop!”

Suddenly, an urgent voice reached everyone’s ears, and shortly after, a flame ignited in the hand of the Patriarch of the Long Family.

”Ah...”

The Patriarch of the Long Family felt the pain, and the strength in his hand weakened instantly. Ye Haochuan quickly took the opportunity to break free, breathing large gulps of fresh air.

”Patriarch Long, please spare my son’s life!”

The next moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of Ye Haochuan, shielding him from harm.

This voice? It was Ye Xian!

Ye Haochuan suddenly recalled the last time he was captured by the Evil Sect, and how he almost got killed by a vicious Ghost Banner. It was Ye Xian’s timely appearance that allowed them to escape.

This time, too, it was Ye Xian who showed up just in time and used a skill similar to his Flames of the Eyes to make the Patriarch of the Long Family let go. Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but feel a surge of gratitude towards Ye Xian.

”Haochuan, are you okay?”

Suddenly, an even more familiar voice rang in Ye Haochuan’s ears. He looked up in surprise and discovered it was his mother, Tong Xiangxiu.

”Mom, you...how are you here?”

Ye Haochuan’s eyes widened in astonishment. This was the Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm; how could his mother possibly appear here? Could it be an illusion?

”It was...it was your father. He found me and brought me here...”

Tong Xiangxiu glanced at Ye Xian with some hesitation, then looked at Ye Haochuan with concern, saying, ”Haochuan, are you alright? I saw that man gripping your neck just now...”

As she spoke, she became increasingly flustered. Her hands subconsciously touched Ye Haochuan’s neck, and tears streamed down her eyes.

If they had been a step slower, they would only have seen Ye Haochuan’s corpse, which filled Tong Xiangxiu’s heart with lingering fear.

”Mom, don’t cry, I’m fine. See, I’m okay? Don’t cry...”

Seeing Tong Xiangxiu cry, Ye Haochuan’s heart was thrown into chaos, and he quickly tried to comfort her.

”Ye Xian, do you want to meddle in the affairs of my Long Family?”

After releasing Ye Haochuan, the flames in the Patriarch Long’s hand extinguished. Looking at Ye Xian, who was protecting Ye Haochuan, he couldn’t help but snort coldly.

”Patriarch Long, this isn’t a matter of your Long Family; it’s a matter of our Ye Family!”

Ye Xian, no longer the carefree person he usually was, now appeared unusually solemn, his gaze filled with determination.

”What do you mean by that?”

The Patriarch Long frowned, not understanding Ye Xian’s meaning.

”Ye Haochuan, he’s my son!”

Ye Xian looked at the Patriarch Long, and seeing no intent to attack, he then turned his head to look deeply at Ye Haochuan.

”What?”

Upon hearing Ye Xian’s words, both the Patriarch Long and Ye Haochuan’s eyes widened in shock, unable to believe what they heard.

”You heard right, Haochuan really is Ye Xian’s son.” At this point, Tong Xiangxiu also spoke up to confirm.

”Mom, you said...he...he...is my...father?”

Ye Haochuan looked at Tong Xiangxiu, appearing very panicked. From a young age, he believed he was an orphan. It was only later he found out that Tong Xiangxiu, who’d been by his side, was his biological mother.

But he never knew who his father was. Now suddenly discovering that the person who had saved him multiple times was his father, it was like waves crashing in his heart.

”Yes, Ye Xian is your father!”

Tong Xiangxiu looked earnestly at Ye Haochuan and answered seriously.

”Sigh... When I was young, I was curious and sneaked into the Secular World to explore. Who would have thought I would meet your mother? That was the happiest time of my life.”

Ye Xian sighed, looking at Tong Xiangxiu with a complex gaze, filled with tenderness that made Tong Xiangxiu throw herself uncontrollably into his arms.

”Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last. When my family found out I snuck out, they forcibly brought me back to the Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm, and I was forbidden from stepping out again. At that time, your mother’s belly wasn’t visibly pregnant yet, so I didn’t know she was carrying our child.”

Ye Xian’s words triggered Tong Xiangxiu’s memories, and she couldn’t help but cry. Those moments were the most painful and struggling days for her.

”In fact, I tried escaping from the Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm several times, but each time I was captured and brought back. Sigh... It’s my fault. I didn’t tell my father about this or persist in coming out to find your mother, which caused you so much suffering.”

Ye Xian gently patted Tong Xiangxiu’s back, comforting her sadness, but who knew he shared the same sorrow?

”Ye Xian, I don’t blame you, I really don’t...”

Tong Xiangxiu straightened up from Ye Xian’s embrace, eyes reddened, looking at Ye Xian. Over the past few days, Ye Xian had explained everything to her, and she had repeated this sentence countless times.

But when Ye Xian reached this point, she couldn’t help but say it again, knowing Ye Xian felt as much pain as she did.

”Sigh...”

The Patriarch Long, clearly aware of Ye Xian’s circumstances, couldn’t help but sigh.

Confronted with this sudden father, Ye Haochuan was completely unwilling to believe. Regardless of how reasonable Ye Xian’s explanation seemed, could it make up for the years of suffering he and his mother endured?

In his mind, his father was either dead or was a heartless man who abandoned his wife and child. Otherwise, why would he leave them unattended? If not for this man’s irresponsibility, why would his mother send him to an orphanage?

Because of this barrier, even knowing he might be of the Ye Family, Ye Haochuan never announced it, only wanting to know who his father was.

If that person was dead, so be it. But if he was alive, he had to confront him and ask why he abandoned them back then.

For Ye Haochuan, Ye Xian was a benefactor. During their first meeting, without Ye Xian’s rescue, Ye Haochuan would have been troubled or even severely injured by the Ji Family.

And at the Pentagon, if not for Ye Xian’s timely appearance, he would have perished at the hands of the Evil Sect.

Now, the benefactor’s image and that of the heartless abandoning father clashed, causing Ye Haochuan inner turmoil.

In his heart, he was a thousand times unwilling to accept this irresponsible father. However, seeing his mother’s current face of joy and happiness, he was suddenly stunned.

Since reuniting with him, she had smiled happily, but this time the smile was different from before.

There was always a hint of regret in her past smiles. But this time, the smile was full, the happiness so complete.

Yes, although his mother had aged, her beauty remained intact, having no lack of suitors. But she hadn’t remarried, likely waiting for the day to reunite with this man in front of her?

Now she finally got her wish, yet because of him, he would taint that happiness with even a trace of unhappiness. How cruel of him.

For a moment, Ye Haochuan was overwhelmed with thoughts.

”For the past, I won’t hold it against you. But remember, whatever you owed before, you must make up for entirely. If you dare cause my mother any unhappiness, I won’t let you go!”

This wasn’t like how a child would speak to his father, but it was Ye Haochuan’s genuine thought now. If his first impression of Ye Xian wasn’t good, he probably wouldn’t even offer this chance for redemption.

”Rest assured, I will wholly and completely commit to your mother and you, fulfilling all the responsibilities I’ve neglected over the years!” Ye Xian said with joy in his heart, tears of emotion streaming from his eyes.

He probably hadn’t expected to be so readily forgiven by Ye Haochuan and his mother. Though Ye Haochuan hadn’t called him father yet, Ye Xian believed that as long as he sincerely devoted himself, he would eventually gain Ye Haochuan’s acceptance.

”By the way, Haochuan, what exactly did you do, why does the Long Family want to kill you?”

Ye Xian suddenly remembered that when he and Tong Xiangxiu arrived earlier, the Patriarch Long was about to kill Ye Haochuan. If not for his timely use of the Heavenly Eye, Ye Haochuan might have already died.

”It’s like this...”

Ye Haochuan recounted everything that happened, speaking with fairness and without bias. He shared everything truthfully, including his matters with Long Keyue, leaving nothing out.
