Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1164: Chapter 1163: Want to trick me? Is it that easy? (2nd update)

”Hall Master Chen, I’ve been waiting for you for quite a while. You’re really late!” Ye Haochuan chuckled fearlessly.

From the moment he took in Zhong Dingshan, Ye Haochuan had anticipated the Proud World Alliance’s return. Since he dared to stay here, he naturally wasn’t afraid of them.

”Hall Master, I...”

Zhong Dingshan’s face was extremely unpleasant as he wanted to explain but didn’t know how.

Chen Kelin waved his hand, indicating for him not to speak, then turned to Ye Haochuan and said, ”Alliance Master Ye, Zhong Dingshan is a member of our Proud World Alliance. You openly poaching him really makes it seem like there’s no one left in our alliance.”

”Hey, that’s illogical! Clearly, this guy named Zhong wanted to gamble himself. He lost, so naturally, he has to pay the price. Are you trying to break the agreement with your numbers?” Zhu Wenjing snorted coldly.

”Don’t mind her, Hall Master Chen. The young girl is hotheaded and likes to argue, don’t take it to heart!” Ye Haochuan remarked with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

Damn, she’s arguing, which implies we’re being unreasonable?

Chen Kelin couldn’t help but clench his fist; he thought Ye Haochuan’s first half-sentence was a compliment, only to realize it was sarcasm.

”What do we do, Hall Master? Zhong just lost the bet—we’re not in the right here!” Suddenly the guard at the door spoke up to inquire.

”I know!” Chen Kelin was almost driven mad with anger, swatting the guard away with a slap.

At moments like this, one should twist logic to one’s advantage, yet you directly admit the opponent is right, so what’s even the point now?

Chen Kelin wished he could strangle the pigheaded guard—having such teammates definitely shortens one’s lifespan.

Zhong Dingshan, being sincere, said with a downcast look, ”Hall Master, it was me who lost, I’m sorry for letting down your training and expectation!”

Chen Kelin composed his emotions, raised his hand to stop Zhong Dingshan, and said to Ye Haochuan, ”Since Alliance Master Ye likes gambling, shall we have another round?”

”If we win, you let go of Dingshan. If we lose, both Dingshan and I will become your followers, how’s that?”

”Hall Master Chen, you flatter me. My Long Alliance only recruits exceptional talents; how could we make Hall Master Chen lower himself?” Ye Haochuan chuckled.

Pfft~

Zhu Wenjing couldn’t help but laugh out loud. This rascal clearly wanted to insult others yet spoke in terms of praise.

Chen Kelin’s face turned ashen, unable to suppress his rage any longer, shouted loudly, ”Ye Haochuan, is that all the courage you’ve got? You don’t even dare to compete?”

”Who said I wasn’t competing? It’s just that I’m not interested in you; let’s change the stakes!” Ye Haochuan scoffed.

”What do you want?” Chen Kelin said through gritted teeth.

Anyone being taunted like this would go mad. Chen Kelin’s ability to refrain from blowing up immediately was a testament to his willpower.

Ye Haochuan pondered briefly, ”Let’s wager this trading market; if you lose, this territory becomes my Long Alliance’s. How about that?”

”Just that?”

”Just that!”

Seeing Ye Haochuan’s serious expression, Chen Kelin was furious.

Damn it, I’m a Foundation Establishment Peak expert, Hall Master of Proud World Alliance’s Secular Affairs Hall, and to you, I’m not even worth a low-level trade fair?

Ye Haochuan certainly didn’t think this trade market could compare to Chen Kelin. However, Chen Kelin was different from Zhong Dingshan.

Zhong Dingshan was straight-laced; if he lost, he would wholeheartedly serve in the Long Alliance. Chen Kelin, on the other hand, was tricky; hiring him would surely bring chaos to the Long Alliance.

In comparison, the immediate tangible benefits from this trade market were more appealing. The Long Alliance lacked industries; with this market, they could quickly make a name.

”Alright, the stakes are set. Let’s get excited and have a good fight!” Ye Haochuan chuckled.

”Who said I’d fight you?” Suddenly Chen Kelin’s expression changed, triumphantly shouting out to the door, ”Senior Brother Jin, I’ll leave the next part to you!”

As soon as he finished, a short but powerful man exuding a formidable aura slowly stepped out from behind the door. From his aura, it wasn’t hard to see that this person had reached the Core Formation Realm level.

”Chen, what’s the meaning of this?” Zhu Wenjing shouted.

Chen Kelin chuckled, ”I only said a duel, not that it would be me fighting you!”

Chen Kelin wasn’t a fool. Since the Long Alliance could defeat the Lone Star Alliance and become the Supreme Alliance, they naturally had their strengths.

So right after the Alliance Assembly ended, he had sent people to investigate Ye Haochuan. He discovered that Ye Haochuan defeated even Zou Yuzhu, whom he would concede to, and recognized Ye Haochuan’s power.

Therefore, upon their reunion, the first thing he did was find a Core Formation warrior to back him up. No matter how powerful Ye Haochuan was, he was just at Foundation Establishment Stage, definitely not a match for a Core Formation Stage master.

”You’re so despicable!” Zhu Wenjing scolded discontentedly.

Chen Kelin’s expression changed as if ignoring her, then turned to Ye Haochuan and said, ”What do you think? You can still surrender now! If not, don’t blame me for not warning you before you’re badly beaten!”

”Could you be any more shameless?” Zhu Wenjing puffed out her cheeks and turned to Ye Haochuan, ”Little Ye, don’t bet with someone so deceitful!”

Damn, since when did I become Little Ye? Sounds like a eunuch from ancient times.

Ye Haochuan’s face froze but ignored her. He smiled at Chen Kelin and asked, ”Could I esquire Hall Master Chen something?”

”Are you asking about Senior Brother Jin’s cultivation? I can tell you right now that Senior Brother Jin is a Core Formation Early Stage super expert!” Chen Kelin boasted.

Ye Haochuan shook his head, ”I’m asking if Hall Master Chen’s skin was trained using Iron Fang Hand techniques? Such a defense, indestructible even with my Divine Concealment Sword, is unparalleled in the history of Xuanmen defense artifacts as a rare divine artifact!”

”You...” Chen Kelin was nearly outraged to the point of bleeding internally, furiously retorted, ”Stop babbling rubbish, bow down and surrender with a hundred kowtows if you don’t want to be unrecognized by your own mother after the beating!”

”Who’s talking about surrendering?” Ye Haochuan casually smiled, ”But, since the duel’s opponent has changed, wouldn’t the stakes be too low? Let’s wager two Peak Spiritual Artifacts instead?”

”Ha, you wish to win against Senior Brother Jin?” Chen Kelin laughed heartily, ”As long as you can win, not two Peak Spiritual Artifacts, but even ten, I would give you!”

”Alright, then ten it is!” Ye Haochuan chuckled.

Chen Kelin was startled, as he only spoke casually, yet Ye Haochuan really latched on. But as he thought further, with Ye Haochuan’s impossibility to win, promising more was of no consequence.

”Senior Brother Jin, you need only leave him half alive!” As Senior Brother Jin stepped in, Chen Kelin coldly instructed.

Ye Haochuan snorted defiantly; you think you can trap me that easily?
