Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 500: Chapter 499: Dignity

Seeing Ye Haochuan remain silent for an extended period, Su Zehao, afraid that he would act rashly and bring about a deadly disaster, touched his arm and said softly, ”Brother Haichuan, at this moment, we are not in a position to offend these people. Until your helper arrives, we must endure.”

Ye Haochuan nodded and said in a deep voice, ”If peace can replace war, of course, I shall endure. However, if they seek to take my life, I will certainly not sit and wait for death.”

”If they truly seek to take your life, I will stand by your side and fight,” Su Zehao declared, a firm look flashing in his eyes.

”Good, we will fight side by side.”

Ye Haochuan breathed a sigh of relief. Su Zehao’s stance was exactly why he didn’t regret coming to this godforsaken place with him.

At that moment, the noise suddenly ceased. Quan Guanjie raised his hand high, compelling everyone to stop their bickering. He snorted and scanned the crowd, ”What? Do you all think that because the Emperor is far away, and the Sect’s rules do not bind you, you can commence a massacre?”

Zhou Mingjiang and the others dared not meet his gaze and lowered their heads.

Quan Guanjie nodded in satisfaction, clearly enjoying this superiority, then turned his gaze back to Ye Haochuan, his smile not reaching his eyes, ”Junior Brother Ye, were you frightened?”

Scared my ass!

Ye Haochuan had long seen through his pretentiousness and cursed in his mind, but outwardly, he continued to endure and smiled, ”Senior Brother Quan, what are you talking about? All the brothers here are passionate people; I understand, I understand... By the way, Senior Brother Quan, I have already turned over the medicinal liquid. If there’s nothing else, I will take my leave now.”

Having said that, he signaled Su Zehao with his eyes, who caught on.

However, just as the two were about to leave, Quan Guanjie smirked sinisterly, ”Junior Brother Ye, I won’t stop you from leaving, but shouldn’t you understand some rules? Isn’t it inappropriate to leave without leaving anything behind?”

Ye Haochuan’s expression turned stern, motherfucker, I knew it wouldn’t be that simple.

”Senior Brother Quan, you really know how to joke. How could I not understand the rules? Look, I’ve handed over the medicinal liquid already. With this, your passage through these deep underground abysses will be like walking into a land with no men...”

Before he could finish, Quan Guanjie interrupted, ”Junior Brother Ye, you think you can send us off with just this little medicinal water?”

Ye Haochuan’s brow furrowed, and he smiled, ”Then, may I know what Senior Brother Quan suggests?”

”Hand over the storage ring on your hand,” Quan Guanjie’s eyes immediately locked onto the storage ring on his finger.

Ye Haochuan’s face fell. While the Ice Soul Sword was securely stored in another storage ring, not this one, and thus there was no fear of them finding evidence of him killing Ling Xiaotian, the storage ring did contain various treasures, especially many Fierce Fire Crystal Stones. Handing it over would be a waste.

”Senior Brother Quan, this is impossible! A storage talisman is each martial artist’s most precious possession, akin to their very life; how could it simply be handed over?” Ye Haochuan expressed his firm stance.

”Hmph, you little bastard, you’re probably not afraid of not handing it over, but afraid that we’ll discover the Ice Soul Sword inside, which would prove you killed our Junior Brother Ling,” Quan Guanjie sneered coldly, ”One word—hand it over, and you can go. Otherwise, I’ll wash my hands of you. Then, these fellow disciples around me eager to kill you will probably...”

This was undoubtedly a threat, a blatant threat, yet everyone could feel the formidable authority of this mana-strong elder brother.

”Kid, take off the storage ring on your hand quickly and hand it over to Senior Brother Quan, otherwise we’ll chop you up, you son of a bitch.”

Zhou Mingjiang immediately started inciting, and soon, others were shouting too.

At that moment, the always sneaky Yu Deshui opened his mouth sinisterly, ”Let me say something fair... Junior Brother Ye, just hand over the storage ring on your hand. Is a mere storage ring not worth your life?”

Pausing briefly, Yu Deshui continued with a sinister laugh, ”Besides, if you really didn’t kill that Junior Brother Ling, you could use this storage ring to prove your innocence. If it truly doesn’t contain the Ice Soul Sword, why would Senior Brother Quan trouble you?”

”This...” Facing pressure, Ye Haochuan was finding it hard to breathe. In this critical moment, an idea suddenly struck him, ”But, this storage ring was given to me by my Immortal Aunt Jinghong Fairy, Long Piaoying. It has sentimental value. How could I simply hand it over to someone else?”

Sure enough, upon hearing the name Long Piaoying, everyone present was shocked, especially Quan Guanjie, who frowned and asked, ”What? Jinghong Fairy, Long Piaoying is your aunt?”

I call her Immortal Aunt, though not by blood, we are somewhat related.

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Ye Haochuan boldly declared, ”Of course.”

”What a joke, as far as I know, Senior Sister Long doesn’t have any nephews or nieces. When did she become your aunt?” Yu Deshui interjected. He had lived a long life, seen much and knew very well the background of Long Piaoying.

On hearing this, Quan Guanjie snorted, ”Junior Brother Ye, you’re quite something. If it hadn’t been for Junior Brother Yu’s reminder, I would have almost been fooled by you. How could you, a mere outer sect disciple, be the nephew of Senior Sister Long, who is a core disciple? Are you falsely claiming relationships now?”

At this moment, Zhou Mingjiang shouted, ”Enough talk, hurry up and hand over the storage ring in your hand, or don’t blame us for slaughtering you!”

Ye Haochuan felt an intense urge to kill the arrogant Zhou Mingjiang, but it was clear that he neither could nor dared to do so at the moment.

At this time, he was caught in a dilemma; if he handed it over, he would lose all the treasures he depended on to survive. If he didn’t, it was clear he would be killed on the spot.

But the problem was, even if he did hand it over, given Quan Guanjie’s hypocritical and shameless nature, would he spare me?

By then, with no treasures in hand to rely on, he would probably end up completely at their mercy, utterly without dignity.

Thinking this, he defiantly said, ”Senior Brother Quan, I know I have no proof at the moment that this storage ring belongs to my aunt. However, you’d better believe it rather than doubt it. If disaster strikes, don’t say I didn’t warn you. If you really don’t believe it, you can use this phone to contact her. I have her contact saved right here in my phone.”

”No need, with your insignificant role, how could someone like her in the Dragon Realm possibly be your aunt? Haha, if she is your aunt, then I might as well call myself your uncle...”

Quan Guanjie laughed disdainfully, his words dripping with insult.

”Such audacity, to fabricate such lies about me, are you tired of living?” A cold female voice suddenly came from outside.

Upon hearing this, Ye Haochuan was overjoyed, too good to be true, Immortal Aunt, you’ve finally arrived. Damn it, Quan Guanjie, watch how I turn the tables now!
