Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 2081: Chapter 2081: Isn’t This English?

”The demon beasts outside haven’t retreated; instead, they’ve completely surrounded the barrier!” the black-robed cultivator anxiously reported after checking the situation outside.

Another female cultivator, with an even more serious expression, said, ”A few more high-rank demon beasts have arrived outside. There are now as many as three demon beasts at the Immortal Transformation Late Stage!”

”Damn, do these beasts want to trap us here until we die?” Xu Wenrui angrily exclaimed.

Although they were not in immediate danger, the food they carried was limited. Once it ran out, they would be doomed.

”Here, eat a bit more!” Ye Haochuan seemed not the slightest bit anxious, offering a piece of dried meat to Long Keyue.

Long Keyue smiled sweetly and happily ate the dried meat as if it were not hard and dry but a rare delicacy instead.

She wasn’t completely unconcerned about the danger outside; she just cherished the time spent with Ye Haochuan.

Having been separated from Ye Haochuan for over a month, she had truly come to understand what it meant to miss someone intensely.

So now, even if the world outside was collapsing, she did not want to waste a single moment with Ye Haochuan.

”Come on, isn’t now a bit late for the lovey-dovey stuff?” Xu Wenrui said, displeased.

His displeasure was clearly devoid of any affection for Long Keyue.

After spending a month alone with Long Keyue, he had completely seen through her heart.

Long Keyue’s heart was full of Ye Haochuan, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t diminish that in the slightest.

Hence, he decided to give up on Long Keyue and only regarded her as a normal friend now.

”Why panic? Calm moments like this are hard to come by; we should enjoy the pastoral tranquility here,” Ye Haochuan calmly replied.

Seeing him so composed, Xu Wenrui furrowed his brow and asked thoughtfully, ”You got some backup plan, don’t you?”

Meeting Ye Haochuan again this time gave Xu Wenrui the feeling that he was different from before.

Previously, although Ye Haochuan had some skills, his strength was still lacking. But this time, the strength Ye Haochuan displayed made Xu Wenrui take notice.

Moreover, he felt like he couldn’t read Ye Haochuan because Ye Haochuan always seemed to have some hidden cards to deal with crises.

”I don’t have any backup plan. I just sent out a rescue signal, hoping someone would come to save us,” Ye Haochuan said, spreading his hands.

He had already determined that they had no hope of breaking through, so he secretly sought help from Shentu Fu. Shentu Fu, who clearly took it seriously, mentioned there were two disciples from Half-Mountain Residence in Anxi County and sent them to save Ye Haochuan.

Ye Haochuan had seen the strength of Half-Mountain Residence. Even disregarding the newly inducted Li Qi, the weakest disciple among them was at the Immortal Transformation Late Stage, so coming to rescue him wouldn’t lead to any surprises.

”Damn, why didn’t you tell me you had a backup plan?” Xu Wenrui said, feeling frustrated for worrying unnecessarily.

”I wasn’t sure when the reinforcements would arrive, so what good would it have done to tell you?”

Ye Haochuan casually responded, then suddenly thought of something and curiously asked Xu Wenrui, ”Aren’t you someone with connections? Why didn’t you think of finding someone to rescue you?”

Xu Wenrui’s face showed an awkward expression as he evasively muttered, ”Who said I have connections? I’m just a regular Loose Cultivator!”

”Come on? A Loose Cultivator being respected by the son of the County Marquis?” Ye Haochuan said, looking skeptical.

When Xu Wenrui saved Long Keyue, he relied on a strong background that even made Yan Meng respect him, which clearly didn’t match being a loose cultivator.

”I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Xu Wenrui played dumb and hurriedly walked away.

Could this guy have some leverage?

Ye Haochuan wondered out of curiosity.

”You mischievous guy, if you had such a contingency plan, you should’ve revealed it earlier. It’s been nerve-wracking along the way!” After Xu Wenrui left, Long Keyue suddenly voiced her complaint.

”I was also helpless!” Ye Haochuan said with a wry smile.

Initially, when deciding to rescue Long Keyue, he felt it was dangerous but didn’t think it was a dead end, so he hadn’t thought of seeking reinforcement.

When encountering difficulties later, even when confined in the inn by the demon king with a day to decide whether to join the demon clan, he had a way to break through, negating the need for reinforcements.

Other times, he was always fleeing from one crisis to another, making it impossible to call for help because by the time reinforcements arrived, he might have already been dead.

All considered, now was indeed the best time to call for help.

Ye Haochuan briefly explained, and Long Keyue didn’t press further. Instead, knowing there were reinforcements, she felt much more at ease.

Ye Haochuan and his group had just reached the mountain village at dawn, and as night fell, Ye Haochuan suddenly sensed a tremor on his Message Jade Slip.

Ye Haochuan took out the jade slip and heard Shentu Fu’s voice: ”Cheng Jing and Ke Shuo are expected to arrive tomorrow. Find a suitable opportunity to meet them. Also, regarding the demon king, don’t mention it to others; I’ll make the arrangements myself!”

Cheng Jing and Ke Shuo were evidently the reinforcements from Half-Mountain Residence. Although Half-Mountain Residence was divided into sects named for virtues like Dao, Ren, Wisdom, and Filial Piety, the names didn’t align this way, so Ye Haochuan didn’t know which sect’s experts were coming.

As for the demon king issue, it had come up in previous communications with Shentu Fu.

His interaction with the fat worm reassured him that this beast tide was different from the usual, and the type of fat worm also puzzled him.

He initially wanted to ask Shentu Fu for some advice, but after much contemplation, Shentu Fu’s final advice was to keep it to himself.

Ye Haochuan wanted to ask why, but Shentu Fu didn’t give him the chance, only insisting he remember it.

Ye Haochuan reluctantly agreed, though still slightly bewildered.

Assured the reinforcements would arrive by tomorrow morning, Ye Haochuan felt at ease. He was about to find a place to sleep when he suddenly saw Niu Kui walking over mysteriously.

”Brother Ye, there’s something I want you to take a look at,” Niu Kui said cautiously, handing over a paper-wrapped object.

”What is it?” Ye Haochuan slowly unwrapped the paper, revealing a translucent piece of jade underneath.

The jade was only about the size of half a palm, with some wiggly tadpole-like script on it.

”Whoa, isn’t this English?” Ye Haochuan was startled by the text on the jade, quickly asking, ”Where did you get this from?”
