Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 992: Chapter 991: Return (2nd Update)

”But what?” Bai Qing asked with a furrowed brow.

Ye Haochuan didn’t answer. Instead, he leaned close to Bai Qing’s ear and whispered, ”But... there’s still one Enlightenment Pill left.”

”What? You have...” Bai Qing exclaimed, but quickly stopped himself mid-sentence. This kind of matter, the fewer people know, the better.

”I do have that item, but there’s only one left. I know Bai Qing, Senior Brother, has waited for it for years. So, I plan to give it to you. What do you say?” Ye Haochuan said, his face full of temptation.

One? Probably more than that.

Bai Qing was no fool. He wouldn’t easily believe Ye Haochuan’s nonsense. However, he was upright and didn’t intend to take everything for himself. He needed only one pill. If Ye Haochuan was willing to give it, it would save a lot of trouble.

”What do you want me to do?”

There’s no such thing as a free lunch, and Bai Qing didn’t want to owe anyone a favor for no reason.

Ye Haochuan chuckled knowingly. He was confident things would work out. Revealing the existence of the Enlightenment Pill to Bai Qing meant he trusted Bai Qing’s character and had the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger as backup. Even if Bai Qing wanted to snatch it, he couldn’t.

”I already said it’s a gift. Why would I need repayment? I just have some private items in my ring that I don’t want too many people to know about. Could I trouble Senior Brother Bai Qing to inspect it personally?”

”That’s your only request?”

”That’s the only request!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qing immediately understood. That guy definitely had other valuable things and wanted leniency from him. However, Bai Qing didn’t mind. As long as Ye Haochuan wasn’t someone from Hellfire, even if he owned a Divine Artifact, Bai Qing wouldn’t covet it.

A matter that aligns with his principles while providing benefits? Bai Qing was, of course, willing to do it. Ultimately, Bai Qing inspected the rings personally. However, he didn’t find any other Enlightenment Pills, which Ye Haochuan most likely had hidden away.

He didn’t investigate deeply, didn’t even search their bodies, and allowed Ye Haochuan and the others to leave.

”Regardless, that item is indeed something I desperately need. You have my gratitude. If there’s anything I can help with in the future, don’t hesitate to come to me!”

At their parting, Bai Qing still gave Ye Haochuan a promise. Ye Haochuan, of course, wouldn’t reject such a good offer and immediately exchanged phone numbers with Bai Qing.

With Bai Qing handled, the rest went smoothly.

”Damn it! Those two little bastards from the Ji Family not only refused to acknowledge that we saved them but also locked up Qingshuang and Zhu Tian in the Inspection Group?!” Leaving the Teleportation Array, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but complain.

”Locked up in the Inspection Group means Ji Tianyu still hasn’t completely lost his humanity. Slander isn’t a serious crime. They should be released after a few days,” Long Piaoying explained.

”Let’s hope so! If anything happens to Qingshuang and Zhu Tian, whether they’re Ji Family’s Twin Tigers or two stray dogs on the roadside, I’ll make them pay the price!” Ye Haochuan snorted coldly.

Long Piaoying knew Ye Haochuan was just venting and didn’t respond, continuing to walk at her own pace.

”Hmm?” The Crimson Wing Golden Tiger suddenly furrowed his brow and sniffed carefully.

”What’s wrong?” Ye Haochuan asked curiously.

”I think I smell my brother’s scent. Yes, it’s definitely his scent!” The Crimson Wing Golden Tiger said excitedly. ”He’s less than a hundred miles away! Haha, I didn’t expect things to go so smoothly!”

Damn, less than a hundred miles? What’s that nose made of?

Ye Haochuan was speechless. Smelling something from a hundred miles away—Crimson Wing Golden Tiger’s nose deserved the highest praise!

”I’m going to find my brother first. I’ll catch up with you later!”

Before Ye Haochuan could even finish marveling, the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger had already tossed out a sentence and rushed ahead eagerly.

Seriously, what’s with the impatience?

Ye Haochuan had thought about maybe getting the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger a phone or something. Otherwise, how would they stay in touch? But then again, with a nose like that, it’d surely manage just fine.

”Eh? Where did Immortal Aunt go?” In the blink of an eye, Ye Haochuan couldn’t find Long Piaoying anymore.

Oh come on, leaving me behind like this? Poor form!

Ye Haochuan was baffled.

At that moment, a small purple creature suddenly jumped into his arms. Upon closer inspection, wasn’t it Little Lei?

What’s going on?

This little guy had clearly been taken away by Immortal Aunt. Why was it suddenly back here?

Just as he was puzzling over it, Long Piaoying’s vanished figure reappeared.

”Looks like it’s more attached to you!” Long Piaoying said gloomily.

Ye Haochuan glanced down to find Little Lei eagerly rubbing against him in his arms, its eyes almost saying it didn’t want to leave him.

He found it odd. Ever since Little Lei was born, Long Piaoying had been the one caring for it. Why was it so attached to him all of a sudden?

”Could it be female?” Ye Haochuan said, looking strange. ”Guess being too handsome really is a curse. Even demon beasts are charmed by me. Heaven, why did you make me so ridiculously handsome? This is such a burden!”

Despite what he said, his expression showed not a hint of sorrow.

”Quit showing off. It’s definitely because of the Blood Covenant,” Long Piaoying snapped.

True—when the Purple Extreme Lightning Lion gave birth, it had signed a Blood Covenant with Ye Haochuan. Little Lei must have been influenced.

”Never mind. Since it doesn’t want to follow me, I’ll leave it with you to care for!” Long Piaoying shrugged regretfully.

With that, she turned to leave once more.

”You’re not coming with me to your brother’s place?”

”No, I need to focus on cultivation!” Tossing out the sentence, Long Piaoying disappeared into the crowd again.

Great, back to being a loner.

Ye Haochuan suddenly thought of Zhu Qingshuang and frowned slightly.

”Seems like I’ll have to ask Yushan to find out how long Qingshuang and Zhu Tian will be kept in custody.”

With that thought, Ye Haochuan sought out a quiet spot to use Sword Control and returned to Long Xiaotian’s villa.

He had intended to surprise Chen Yushan but found she wasn’t home. Only Long Xiaotian was leisurely sipping tea in the living room.

”No need to look for her. She’s already started working at the Inspection Group again.”

”Makes sense—it’s been half a month, time to get back to work.”

Ye Haochuan was slightly disappointed but still called Chen Yushan. First, to let her know he was back, and second, to ask her to look into Zhu Qingshuang and Zhu Tian’s situation. Since she was an insider, it’d be easier to check.

”By the way, where’s Long Keyue?” Ye Haochuan suddenly asked.

He’d found the necklace he promised to retrieve for her and wanted to return it—not to mention claim his reward.

”She had some business. Said she’d be back in a few days.”

Ugh, no one’s here?

Ye Haochuan felt a bit deflated. After chatting with Long Xiaotian briefly, he went to his room.

”He’s already at Foundation Establishment, huh? Seems it’s time to let him in on a few things!” Watching Ye Haochuan’s departing figure, Long Xiaotian suddenly smirked mysteriously and headed to his own room.
