Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1125: Chapter 1124: There’s a Trap! (3rd Update)

Within the Long Alliance, Long Piaoying had joined the group. Today, she happened to be at the base, so Ye Haochuan naturally wanted to have a good ’conversation’ with her.

”Immortal Aunt, are you getting used to the Long Alliance?” Ye Haochuan chuckled.

”It’s just the same, nothing much to get used to.” Long Piaoying casually replied.

Ye Haochuan said, ”Well, Immortal Aunt, you should come to the Long Alliance more often in the future. It’s good to strengthen bonds with everyone.”

Long Piaoying replied, ”You mean strengthen the bond with you, right?”

”Uh...” Ye Haochuan felt awkward, and after a long pause, he said, ”Immortal Aunt, must you be so blunt? You’re making me a bit embarrassed.”

”Bah, with a face as thick as a city wall, would you feel embarrassed? If I believed you, pigs would climb trees!”

”...”

Ye Haochuan was speechless, he gave an awkward smile and immediately changed the topic, ”Immortal Aunt, how about I treat you to dinner tonight?”

”No time!”

”Come on, I really have no ulterior motives towards you.”

Long Piaoying narrowed her eyes and looked at Ye Haochuan oddly, saying, ”Up until now, you dare not have any ulterior motives, but in case your strength surpasses mine in the future, who knows.”

Long Piaoying hit the nail on the head. To be honest, if he could win against Long Piaoying, Ye Haochuan wouldn’t be so honest now!

”Haha...Immortal Aunt, what are you saying? I can’t even understand! Besides, I hold you in the highest regard, how can you say ulterior motives!” Ye Haochuan chuckled.

Long Piaoying said, ”That mouth of yours must have deceived quite a few girls.”

”How can you say it’s deceiving? I treat everyone with genuine sincerity!”

While the two were flirting and teasing each other, An Li suddenly called.

Answering the call, Ye Haochuan said, ”An Li, what’s up?”

An Li said, ”There’s a new lead about the Long Group!”

”Really? Tell me more!”

”We’ve found someone from the Liu Family who has some connection to the Long Group’s demise back then. We have tracked his whereabouts now.”

”Where is it?”

”Jianshui Gorge!”

”Alright, got it!”

After hanging up, Long Piaoying asked, ”Did Liu Meiyu come by earlier?”

”Yes.”

”What did she want?”

”She came to ask me for people, but I made her speechless with my words, and she left hastily after saying something harsh.”

After Ye Haochuan finished talking, he added, ”There’s a new lead about the Long Group.”

Long Piaoying pondered for a moment, then said, ”I feel things aren’t that simple.”

”What do you mean by that?”

”I overheard on the phone that the person is at Jianshui Gorge. You’re not familiar with the geography of the Imperial Capital, but Jianshui Gorge is indeed a formidable terrain, rarely visited by anyone...”

Ye Haochuan asked in surprise, ”You mean... it might be a trap?”

”Can’t rule out that possibility! Let’s go there together.”

”Alright, I’ll bring more people!”

Immediately, Ye Haochuan gathered four Foundation Establishment Cultivators, all of whom were Long Piaoying’s subordinates, and with formidable abilities. The six of them set off for Jianshui Gorge together.

Now that Ye Haochuan was at the Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage, he faced no rivals at the Foundation Establishment Stage. With Long Piaoying at the Core Formation Stage and the four Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he didn’t fear the opponent playing tricks.

After more than an hour, they arrived at Jianshui Gorge, where the canyon was deep, cliffs on both sides, and the terrain was treacherous.

Seeing the landscape, Ye Haochuan trusted Long Piaoying’s judgment more, believing the opponent might be luring them there.

”Everyone, be careful, watch out for ambushes!” Ye Haochuan reminded the four, then cautiously moved forward.

When they reached the middle of the gorge, Liu Cangsong’s spirit lifted on the clifftop: ”They’ve arrived!”

Liu Chengyu said, ”They are few in number, this time we can surely eliminate Ye Haochuan!”

Liu Cangsong said to Liu Meiyu, ”Later, I’ll hold off Long Piaoying, Cheng Yu will take down Ye Haochuan, and the rest will be yours.”

Excluding Ye Haochuan and Long Piaoying, Liu Meiyu’s opponents were merely four Foundation Establishment Cultivators, a trivial matter for her.

”Go!”

The three of them leapt off the cliff, blocking Ye Haochuan and his group’s path.

”There really was a trap, everyone be careful!”

Seeing the three flying down the cliff, Ye Haochuan was instantly alert, with spiritual energy subtly surging, ready for battle at any moment.

”It’s you!”

Upon seeing Liu Meiyu, Ye Haochuan frowned, previously thinking she had just said a harsh word for show, not expecting her to act so soon.

”Your Phantom Sound Pavilion is really intent on breaking ties with my Long Alliance?” Ye Haochuan asked solemnly.

”Hehe, my purpose here is merely...”

Boom!

Before Liu Meiyu could finish, Liu Cangsong threw a punch, and a beam of light shot out, exploding near Ye Haochuan.

Fortunately, Ye Haochuan reacted swiftly, barely dodging the blow.

Then Liu Cangsong rushed to Long Piaoying, engaging her in combat, with spiritual energy surging around, spreading capabilities everywhere.

Liu Chengyu said nothing, directly attacking Ye Haochuan.

The treacherous terrain gave Long Piaoying limited space to maneuver, forcing her to soar skyward, while Ye Haochuan was continuously repelled by Liu Chengyu. Quickly, the battlefield split, with neither side able to aid the other.

”That old fox!” Liu Meiyu furrowed her brows, cursing inwardly. However, given the situation, she could only deal with the four Foundation Establishment Cultivators. If push came to shove, she could take out Ye Haochuan, or even Long Piaoying.

When Liu Meiyu came to the Long Alliance for people, she didn’t intend to completely break ties, just to exert some pressure.

The ambush was initially to assist the Liu Family, but the Liu father and son immediately attacked without room for negotiation.

Now, Ye Haochuan was certain that Liu Meiyu had sought the Liu family’s help, and if this matter were exposed, Liu Meiyu would be scapegoated.

Hence, Liu Meiyu cursed Liu Cangsong as an old fox. In this situation, no matter what she said, Ye Haochuan wouldn’t believe her, concluding that either Liu Meiyu or the Phantom Sound Pavilion was targeting the Long Alliance.

Long Piaoying’s four subordinates were blocked by Liu Meiyu. Facing an expert at the Core Formation Stage, they had no means to fight back. Fortunately, Liu Meiyu hadn’t shown any intent to kill, or they wouldn’t last long.

Meanwhile, Long Piaoying and Liu Cangsong, both Core Formation Early Stage cultivators, had similar cultivation levels, clashing without a decisive outcome.

Various secret techniques emerged, wielding incredible power that rippled across the mountains, frightening the fierce beasts in the surrounding miles, leaving them cowering in fear.

As for Ye Haochuan, things weren’t looking optimistic. With his current cultivation, he had no issues dealing with anyone at the Foundation Establishment Peak, but Liu Chengyu was a Core Formation Early Stage cultivator!

But he had no choice now; he could only fight with all his might, risking everything!
