Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1442: Chapter 1442: I Am a Medicinal Cultivator

”Hypocritical!” Hu Zhong scornfully remarked from the side.

Hu Ke seemed oblivious as he cheerfully said to Ye Haochuan, ”I don’t think our junior brother came specifically looking for Zhong, what brings you here?”

Considering how Ye Haochuan just met Hu Zhong, even a fool could see he didn’t know who Hu Zhong was.

”No, I did indeed come for Hu Zhong. I just didn’t know that Gao Zhong was Hu Zhong before.”

Ye Haochuan smiled, ignored them, and turned to Hu Zhong, ”I was tasked by an old white-bearded man to deliver something to you!”

With that, he took out the Iron Bull Blood Pill and the letter and handed them to Hu Zhong.

Hu Zhong’s focus did not linger long on the Blood Pill; he quickly opened the letter and excitedly said, ”This is Grandpa’s handwriting, where is he now?”

”Well...” Ye Haochuan hesitated briefly, ”The old gentleman, he has passed away...”

Ye Haochuan immediately recounted the events, though mostly fabricating the story.

He didn’t mention that he and the old man faced the Iron Bull together, and the old man was forced to self-destruct. Instead, he simply said he happened upon the gravely injured old man and was entrusted to deliver something.

”What? My father died?” Hu Ke looked anxious, but Ye Haochuan distinctly saw a hint of glee in his eyes.

This guy definitely has an ulterior motive!

Ye Haochuan thought to himself.

”No way, my grandfather was so formidable, how could he die?” Hu Zhong exclaimed in disbelief and horror, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Ye Haochuan could tell that Hu Zhong had a very good relationship with his grandfather. It was normal to be unable to accept such shocking news.

”My condolences!” Ye Haochuan comforted him and continued, ”The old gentleman instructed me to deliver this Iron Bull Blood Pill, claiming it is urgently needed by someone here. Who needs it?”

”What? You really got the Iron Bull Blood Pill?” Niuzhi exclaimed in shock and disbelief.

Her surprise clearly revealed a trace of fear, while another person’s astonishment showed joy.

This person was none other than Deng Jiu, who had opened the door for Ye Haochuan, and he delightedly said, ”That’s great. With this Iron Bull Blood Pill, the Family Head can be saved!”

At this point, the Family Head he referred to was apparently not Hu Ke.

Hu Zhong seemed puzzled and asked, ”Grandpa Deng, you say this Blood Pill can save my father.”

”Yes, indeed. When Elder Cheng from the Holy Medical Alliance came, he said only the Iron Bull Blood Pill could save the Family Head’s life. For this, the late Family Head risked his life seeking it. But now the Blood Pill is found, and the old Family Head...”

Deng Jiu choked with emotion as he reached the sad part. Yet Hu Zhong grasped another meaning and called out to Hu Ke and his wife, ”My father’s illness clearly had a cure, why did you tell me it was incurable? Why?”

”This Iron Bull Blood Pill is extremely rare. Even if you were told, you wouldn’t have been able to find it. Moreover, if I had told you, you’d have surely gone searching for the Iron Bull. With your cultivation level, you’d just be seeking death!”

Hu Ke said ”meaningfully,” ”Second Uncle acted for your own good!”

Damn, I’ve seen shameless people before, but never someone to this extent!

Ye Haochuan sighed inwardly.

If Hu Ke truly cared about Hu Zhong, he wouldn’t have hidden inside when Niuzhi attacked Hu Zhong earlier.

Hu Zhong obviously saw through Hu Ke’s hypocrisy too and snorted coldly, opting not to waste words with him, and asked Deng Jiu, ”Grandpa Deng, now that the Blood Pill is found, how can we save my father?”

His grandfather’s death had undeniably impacted him greatly, but as the deceased had already passed, his priority now was to save his father and prevent him from following his grandfather’s footsteps.

Deng Jiu paused briefly and said, ”Elder Cheng mentioned the method, but I don’t know the details. I’ll go invite Elder Cheng over!”

”Stop! You can’t go!” Niuzhi suddenly objected sharply.

”What? Don’t you want to save my father?” Hu Zhong snorted.

Not all the guards present were on Hu Ke’s side. Hearing this, they couldn’t help but turn their attention.

Hu Ke was keen on preserving his status as Family Head. Having most of the family members question him would clearly backfire.

He rolled his eyes and quickly ”explained,” ”Don’t be anxious, Zhong. Your aunt didn’t mean it in that way. She stopped Deng Jiu because Elder Cheng is touring outside and not at home, so visiting him would be futile.”

”If Elder Cheng isn’t here, then invite other medicinal cultivators. We have the Spiritual Medicine now, surely we can find someone to save my father,” Hu Zhong asserted unyieldingly.

”In Xuantian City, Elder Cheng’s medical skills are definitely among the best. Wanting to invite someone superior might cost the Hu Family dearly. If we get an incompetent doctor, it could waste this precious medicine!” Hu Ke remarked ”troubled.”

Damn it, he’s just using excuses to avoid inviting anyone!

Ye Haochuan was getting frustrated, just about to speak out when Hu Ke suddenly spoke up again, ”Alright, let Deng Jiu go search for someone suitable then. Otherwise, you’d think I, as Second Uncle, deliberately intend harm to your father.”

What? How did he change his tune so quickly?

Something abnormal is definitely going on, Ye Haochuan became vigilant.

Sure enough, he noticed. As Hu Ke spoke, he signaled knowingly to Niuzhi, who swiftly got the hint and discreetly moved into the crowd, gradually hiding within.

Damn, they clearly intend to delay and act first!

Ye Haochuan understood immediately.

Hu Zhong didn’t seem to overthink it then, seeing Hu Ke’s agreement, he promptly told Deng Jiu, ”Grandpa Deng, please hurry...”

”There’s no need to go!” Ye Haochuan suddenly declared, ”I am a medicinal cultivator, why go searching far and wide?”

”What? You’re a medicinal cultivator?” Everyone present was visibly shocked as they looked at Ye Haochuan.

Hu Zhong frowned and said, ”Brother Ye, you shouldn’t joke about this.”

Although he had traveled with Ye Haochuan for a while, Hu Zhong had never seen Ye Haochuan practice medicine, so naturally, he was skeptical.

”Do I look like I’m joking? Do you need me to show my certificate to believe?” Ye Haochuan smirked and took out the permit issued by the Holy Medical Alliance.

For this, he sighed a bit. No wonder so many medicinal cultivators scramble to join the Holy Medical Alliance. Ordinary people may not recognize many medicinal cultivators, but the Holy Medical Alliance’s reputation truly aids in gaining trust.

Upon seeing the Holy Medical Alliance’s seal, no one doubted he was a medicinal cultivator, but Deng Jiu still worriedly said, ”Young Master Ye might be a medicinal cultivator, but his youth suggests his skills might not match Elder Cheng’s level...”

Hearing this, Hu Ke’s previously furrowed brow suddenly eased, and he smiled, ”Time is of the essence. With Junior Brother Ye as a medicinal cultivator, finding someone else would indeed be a waste of time.

Junior Brother Ye, my brother’s life is entrusted to you. Please do your utmost to save him!”
