Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1997: Chapter 1997: Pushing Your Luck, Huh?

”Have you heard? There’s a new headliner at Fenghua Pavilion, her figure and looks are top-notch. They say just one glance from her will leave you weak for a month!” At the end of the street, a few idle men were loudly discussing the news.

Another man in gray garb replied dismissively, ”Come on, if you talk about beauties, that so-called headliner at Fenghua Pavilion probably can’t compare to the beauty I saw on the street two days ago. That was a true Immortal’s demeanor!”

”You’re just bragging, why didn’t I see her then?” The idle man from before doubted.

”I saw her, I saw her!” Another skinny man interjected, ”That was a real Immortal, I’ve lived most of my life and never encountered such a beauty. If I could have a woman like that, I’d gladly shave 30 years off my lifespan!”

The man in gray ridiculed, ”Come on, didn’t you see the elegant gentleman beside that Immortal? Quite a dragon among men. Look at you, just a mess that can’t stick to the wall. Even if you traded your entire lifespan, that Immortal wouldn’t give you a second glance!”

”I say, you’re too harsh! I know I can’t get her, but can’t I daydream a little?”

”Why don’t you sneak peeks at Widow Wang bathing next door instead? Daydreaming about my goddess is an insult to my goddess...”

Ye Haochuan originally intended to go straight back to the inn, not paying much attention to these people, but upon hearing about the Immortal and a gentleman, he suddenly stopped.

Long Keyue and Xu Wenrui, aren’t they just such a pair? And although Xu Wenrui is annoying, his looks are indeed quite extraordinary as these people said.

”Could it be them?”

Ye Haochuan felt a glimmer of hope and quickly walked over.

”Ladies and gentlemen, I wonder if the Immortal you saw looks like this?” Ye Haochuan took out his phone and flipped to a photo he had incidentally taken of Long Keyue, asking them.

”Yes, yes, just like this!” The man in gray saw Long Keyue’s photo, his eyes lit up, nodding quickly, ”Brother, good craftsmanship! This artwork is so lifelike, it’s practically jumping off the paper!”

Artwork? This is a photo, okay? Of course, it looks like the real person!

Ye Haochuan thought to himself.

He didn’t bother with the question of artwork or photo, feeling quite happy because he finally found traces of Long Keyue.

”Can you tell me where they’ve gone?” Ye Haochuan asked eagerly.

”When I saw them, they were about to head out the east city gate, seemed like they were going east!” The man in gray pointed to the eastern city gate.

”East?” Ye Haochuan furrowed his brows, falling into thought.

The east, isn’t that the direction of Anxi County?

Ye Haochuan suddenly realized.

Long Keyue knows Ye Haochuan is going to Anxi County, so after not finding Ye Haochuan on the bridge, she likely thought he went to Anxi County, so she went there to meet him.

”Damn, why didn’t I think of that?” Ye Haochuan laughed, asked again, ”How many days have they been gone?”

”Four or five days!” the man in gray said, in his gray garb.

After speaking, he looked at Ye Haochuan’s excited expression and advised, ”I say brother, I’m sure you harbor fantasies about the Immortal too. But an Immortal is an Immortal, high above, untouchable by those of our level!”

Come on, what do you mean a young master of our level can’t touch her? She’s the young master’s woman, okay?

Ye Haochuan chuckled inwardly.

It’s no wonder the man in gray would say such a thing, after all, Ye Haochuan’s cultivation and garb were like theirs, belonging to the bottom tier of this world.

Ye Haochuan didn’t bother explaining, thanked them, took out a hundred red crystals and handed them to the man in gray as compensation.

The man in gray saw the red crystals in his hand, was slightly stunned, then said, ”This is a bit much! Only need one...”

Asking a question for one red crystal seems to be the custom here, like a tradition. Ye Haochuan giving out a hundred red crystals at once certainly far exceeded this benchmark.

A hundred crystals might not be much, but it ought to cover this man’s day’s income. So after saying this, he regretted a little.

At this moment, why act courteous? If the other really takes back the crystals, he’d probably go home and cry.

Thankfully, Ye Haochuan didn’t mind at all, laughed, ”That’s your due!”

With that, he walked away without looking back.

The man in gray stared at Ye Haochuan’s back, muttering, ”This doesn’t seem like someone flaunting wealth, could he really be a rich guy disguised like us? Since when did rich people have such hobbies?”

Ye Haochuan didn’t know, because of a hundred red crystals, he had been labeled a wealthy man by others.

He rushed back to the inn to pack up, preparing to chase after Long Keyue.

Before leaving, he naturally had to redeem the giant sword he had given to the innkeeper as collateral earlier.

”Checking out?” The innkeeper frowned reflexively upon hearing Ye Haochuan wanted to check out.

He originally thought Ye Haochuan would stay here for a few days, and then his owed room rent would be a lot, at which point unable to pay, that sword would naturally become his.

But now, Ye Haochuan had only stayed for two days, and by his appearance, he clearly had money to pay, so his plan was undoubtedly ruined.

However, he wouldn’t give up just like that, if one plan failed, naturally there’s another plan.

Thinking this, he quickly plastered on a fake smile, ”Sir, you stayed in our finest room, one day is three hundred red crystals, three days, nine hundred crystals!”

”Three days, I only stayed for two days, right? Also, a day for three hundred crystals, isn’t that a bit too expensive?” Ye Haochuan frowned.

”Sir, you don’t know, you were in our inn’s best room, all the furnishings are top-notch, a hundred crystals isn’t expensive.

As for the days, sir you don’t know, checking out after noon counts as the next day, it’s not our inn’s rule, it’s the whole Mushan City’s way!” The innkeeper smiled.

”Are you kidding me? It’s just a few minutes past noon right now!” Ye Haochuan snorted.

”A second past is still past!” The innkeeper grinned strangely.

Damn, you run into a schemer no matter where you go!

Ye Haochuan cursed inwardly.

If it were in the Lower Realm, he would surely teach this schemer a lesson. But now, he was anxious to find Long Keyue and really didn’t want to waste time talking nonsense with this guy.

”Nine hundred crystals, right? Take them. Buy more medicine and treat your black heart!” Ye Haochuan unhappily handed three hundred crystals to the innkeeper.

The innkeeper pretended not to hear Ye Haochuan’s mocking words, still welcoming him with a smile, ”Sir, walk slowly, come again often!”

Ye Haochuan furrowed his brow slightly, saying, ”My sword, hurry and give it back to me!”

”Sword? What sword?” The innkeeper feigned ignorance.

Damn, pushing your luck, huh?
