Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1956: Chapter 1956: Why Did It Take So Long?

”Damn, who is this guy? His presence is overwhelming!”

Ye Haochuan had just arrived at the place he had agreed to meet Le Yao, when he saw a group of people walking past him, led by an arrogant man at the front.

The man wore a bright red outfit adorned with various shapes of yellow jade, which were set intricately on the clothes.

His trousers were exceptionally smooth and seemed very high-end, a fabric Ye Haochuan couldn’t even identify.

A golden belt occasionally peeked out from his flying garments as he moved forward, dazzling those around him.

Even his boots were adorned with intricate decorations, with two similarly-sized Luminous Pearls perched on the toes.

As for his back, waist, and chest, they were adorned with several exquisite items whose value looked to be in the thousands or tens of thousands of red crystals.

Beneath the man was a giant Demon Beast that moved its limbs forward under his command.

The beast’s weight was intimidating, shaking the street with each step, yet no one dared to utter a word.

And that wasn’t the most extravagant part; it was the entourage behind the man, consisting of several Early Stage Immortal Transformation experts following closely.

Behind them was a group of maids in matching uniforms and guards in uniform armored attire. Though the maids maintained their poise, the guards struggled to maintain their formation as they moved.

Despite this, their faces were filled with the same arrogance as the youth at the front.

In the middle of the procession was a lavish carriage, even the beast pulling it was strikingly beautiful.

A white-haired Mid-Stage Immortal Transformation cultivator was resting inside the carriage.

In other counties, having a Mid-Stage Immortal Transformation cultivator as a guard might be common, but in Shuanghua County, it was exceedingly rare.

Shuanghua County was known to be one of the weakest, where Mid-Stage Immortal Transformation cultivators were the elite. The idea of such a cultivator serving as a guard was unimaginable.

”Is this the young master from that family? What a grand display!”

Suddenly, a few Nascent Soul Peak cultivators approached from behind Ye Haochuan, amongst them an Early Stage Immortal Transformation cultivator. One of the Nascent Soul Peak cultivators exclaimed in amazement upon seeing the entourage.

”Damn, you want to die, don’t drag us down with you!”

The Early Stage Immortal Transformation cultivator accompanying him turned pale and swiftly slapped the man on the mouth.

Then, the Immortal Transformation cultivator quickly glanced at the entourage and lowered his voice, ”That’s the Gu Family’s convoy. If Young Master Gu Tian hears you, you’ll wish you were dead!”

He quickly whispered these words while dragging the speaker into a nearby alley, and soon they disappeared, followed by the rest of the Nascent Soul Peak cultivators.

”The Gu Family’s convoy? Young Master Gu Tian?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Haochuan recalled Grandpa Huang mentioning the Gu Family’s young master inspecting Yanjiang Town when they left Mist Forest Village.

”Grandpa Huang mentioned this guy’s behavior is quite arrogant. It must be true; otherwise, those cultivators wouldn’t fear the Gu Family people so much.”

Ye Haochuan watched the retreating cultivators disappear down the alley before turning his attention back to the Gu Tian-led convoy.

The convoy strolled down the street, Gu Tian’s demon beast causing the nearby houses to tremble and layers of dust to fall.

The owners of the houses angrily poked their heads out, intending to confront the source of the disturbance.

However, upon recognizing Gu Tian, they sheepishly retracted their heads, choosing silence instead, perfectly embodying the idiom ’turtle in hiding’.

It’s not their fault; in this world, the strong prey on the weak, and those with mere Early Stage Immortal Transformation cultivation can’t afford to act defiant against a convoy guarded by a Mid-Stage Immortal Transformation cultivator.

Ye Haochuan’s gaze remained fixed on the convoy until it vanished down another street, prompting him to resume reading the Mysterious Pill Treasure Record.

After some time, Ye Haochuan finally looked up from the Mysterious Pill Treasure Record, realizing the sky had darkened.

”Where has Le Yao gone? Didn’t she say an hour? Why isn’t she here yet?”

Ye Haochuan remembered he was waiting for Le Yao, but upon glancing around, he couldn’t see her.

Damn, she hasn’t ditched me to leave on her own, has she?

Ye Haochuan waited a bit longer, noticing the houses lighting up, yet Le Yao still hadn’t come. He reluctantly began to eat some food alone.

Having waited so long, his stomach grumbled, though he’d hoped to eat with Le Yao. But now, he couldn’t endure the hunger any longer.

”Ye Haochuan, have you bought everything you needed?”

As Ye Haochuan finished half his meal, Le Yao appeared, pale-faced, from the alley she had vanished into, and reached out for a bun.

”I bought everything ages ago. What happened? Weren’t we meeting here before dark? Why did you delay so long?”

Ye Haochuan complained while continuing to eat, not noticing Le Yao’s abnormally pallid complexion.

Moreover, Le Yao was a bit unsteady, her chest heaving, as if she’d just undergone strenuous activity without proper rest.
