Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 908: Chapter 907: The Five Great Families (6 Updates)

In the restaurant, Ye Haochuan drew everyone’s attention, but it was only for a moment. Clearly, everyone was already accustomed to such occurrences.

Trouble always seemed to follow him, but Ye Haochuan was used to it. The little episode with Tu Yang didn’t affect his mood. After the dishes were served, he and Chen Yushan continued to eat, drink, and laugh as before.

A nearby waiter, seeing their calm and unhurried demeanor, couldn’t help but kindly remind them, ”Sir, it’s best for you to finish your meal quickly and leave here early.”

”Oh?” Ye Haochuan replied with a faint smile, ”Why would you say that?”

The waiter said, ”I don’t mean to rush you, but that Tu Yang is known for his vindictiveness. He certainly won’t let things go easily.”

”Let him come. As long as he dares to show up, I dare to cripple him.”

With an indifferent remark, Ye Haochuan left the waiter utterly astonished. After a pause, the waiter asked, ”Sir, are you not aware of Tu Yang’s background?”

”I haven’t heard about it,” Ye Haochuan said as he took out five hundred yuan as a tip and handed it to the waiter, ”Tell me, what’s the story with this Tu Yang?”

The waiter, smiling as he took the tip, said, ”Judging by your accent, you are not a local, are you?”

”Yes, I just arrived at the Imperial Capital today, here for a visit,” Ye Haochuan replied casually.

”Then it’s not surprising,” the waiter thought for a moment and then said, ”Do you know about the five major families of the Imperial Capital?”

”I’ve heard of them, but I don’t know much.”

The waiter naturally understood that this was just a perfunctory response and proceeded to explain at length: ”The five major families of the Imperial Capital are the Zhu, Liu, Long, Yang, and Tu families...”

Hearing this, Ye Haochuan already understood that Tu Yang must be from the Tu Family; otherwise, the waiter wouldn’t need to mention this to him.

However, he didn’t interrupt the waiter and let him continue.

The Long Family is the oldest and its history can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. They concealed their presence during the Qing Dynasty and only resurfaced after the liberation. With centuries of wealth, they quickly became one of the top five families. The Long Family has ties to no major Xuanmen, and their cultivation method, which is only passed down to the direct lineage, is regarded highly even by those within Xuanmen.

The Yang Family is backed by the Institute of Extensive Learning. Its founder, Yang Sen, was originally a member of an Ancient Martial Arts Sect. A hundred years ago, he was fortunate enough to obtain an ancient legacy with techniques using written characters for combat, and cultivated superior skills. Later, he established a new sect, the Institute of Extensive Learning, and the Yang Family are his descendants.

The Tu Family is a rising star. Thirty years ago, a renowned Medical Immortal named Tu Hongshan emerged. He has saved the lives of many powerful individuals within Xuanmen, earning a wide network of connections. People within Xuanmen hold him in high regard and go to great lengths to help, allowing the Tu Family to grow rapidly and become the youngest member of the five major families.

All five major families have Xuanmen backgrounds, which is why they can dominate the lands of Huaxia.

After listening to the waiter, Ye Haochuan smiled meaningfully, ”A waiter with such comprehensive knowledge of the five major families of the Imperial Capital, that really is impressive!”

The waiter gave an embarrassed smile, having understood the implication in Ye Haochuan’s words, and couldn’t help saying, ”The patrons of this restaurant are wealthy and influential, and by being around them, one picks up a few things.”

Ye Haochuan said, ”By being around them? I don’t believe other waiters are as well-informed.”

Knowing about the five major families is one thing, but the key is that this waiter also understands matters of Xuanmen, which is quite intriguing.

The waiter laughed and said, ”What’s understood does not need to be explained, so we can still be friends in the future.”

”Ye Haochuan,” Ye Haochuan reached out, and the waiter shook his hand while smiling, ”Lin Can.”

Lin Can’s identity was nearly apparent, but Ye Haochuan did not point it out; however, he was curious as to why someone from Xuanmen like Lin Can would be working as a waiter here. Besides, it seemed that Lin Can had quite a high level of Cultivation.

Seemingly noticing Ye Haochuan’s confusion, Lin Can chuckled, ”Ordinary bars always have bouncers, Brother Ye must be very clear about that.”

Ye Haochuan suddenly realized that Lin Can was essentially the protector of the restaurant.

It makes sense, after all, it’s common for people from Xuanmen to frequent this place. They are hot-headed and quick to fight at the slightest provocation. If there weren’t a master at hand, this restaurant would probably have been torn down long ago!

”Brother Lin, after taking my money, it seems you still haven’t gotten to the main point,” Ye Haochuan said.

Lin Can’s face twitched, and he said, ”The news I’ve just shared with you is already worth more than five hundred!”

Ye Haochuan was not annoyed and took out another five hundred to give to him. Lin Can then said, ”That Tu Yang, although not of the Tu Family’s direct lineage, still has some influence in the Imperial Capital. Of course, if things escalate, the Tu Family won’t sit by idly...”

Lin Can stopped speaking there, and Ye Haochuan couldn’t help asking, ”That’s it?”

”That’s it.”

Ye Haochuan rolled his eyes and said, ”That’s hardly worth five hundred.”

”Just consider it as making up for the earlier amount. I won’t be giving a refund anyway!” Lin Can responded.

As people from Xuanmen, neither took the small amount of money seriously, yet both were ’meticulously’ haggling, enjoying the banter between them.

While at the restaurant, Ye Haochuan made an enemy of one person and befriended another, which wasn’t too bad a deal.

After making small talk for a bit, Lin Can went to make his rounds. When he came back to Ye Haochuan’s table, Chen Yushan and Ye Haochuan were almost done eating and were about to settle the bill.

”Come by more often,” Lin Can said with a smile.

”With prices this steep, only if you’re treating me,” Ye Haochuan joked.

”You people always know how to exploit us at the bottom. Our monthly salary as waiters isn’t even enough to order one dish here!” Lin Can said, as if he were truly just a waiter.

After settling the bill, Lin Can suddenly approached Ye Haochuan and said, ”You’re in trouble.”

”Hmm?” Ye Haochuan looked puzzled, but seeing Lin Can nod toward the floor below, he followed his gaze and saw Tu Yang had returned, this time accompanied by two middle-aged men.

Ye Haochuan showed a smile and said, ”Just finished eating and nothing to do, might as well meet them.”

Lin Can rolled his eyes, thinking despite just being warned that those were people from the Tu Family, Ye Haochuan still sought confrontation!

Lin Can said lazily, ”Then good luck to you. Shame that duty calls and I cannot go down to see the spectacle.”

”...”

Ye Haochuan was speechless at first, then said nonchalantly, ”Tu Yang is a regular here, haven’t you seen enough of his drama already?”

After speaking, Ye Haochuan, holding Chen Yushan’s hand, turned and went downstairs.
