Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1978: Chapter 1978: Oh No, I’ve Been Discovered!

The caravan moved slowly forward, finally passing through the layers of blockades set by the Gu Family. As soon as they passed the blockade, Ye Haochuan decisively left the caravan and quickly dashed to the opposite bank.

The ability of invisibility was really draining for him. Having held on for so long just now, he had reached his limit. If he continued to move slowly with the caravan, he was sure not to escape.

Even he found it somewhat unbelievable that he managed to escape this time. Particularly, the sudden and precisely-timed ”fart” from the demon beast became a key to his escape.

Ye Haochuan always felt that there was something different about that demon beast, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

The long suspension bridge quickly retreated under Ye Haochuan’s feet, and before long, he appeared on the opposite bank.

However, after searching all around, he did not find any trace of Long Keyue.

Damn it, could she have been discovered by the Gu Family?

Ye Haochuan was shocked.

When Long Keyue crossed the suspension bridge, the people from the Gu Family had not yet targeted her. But the group of Gu Family people who came from Shuangyi Town subsequently clearly set Long Keyue as their target.

Long Keyue was so beautiful and distinctive; no doubt the guards at the bridge would remember her vividly. It’s highly possible they recalled her passage and sent someone to capture her.

Damn it, I should have let Long Keyue wait somewhere else!

Ye Haochuan regretted it deeply.

If Long Keyue was really captured by the Gu Family, it would be because of him.

At this moment, Ye Haochuan overheard someone nearby discussing, ”That girl just now was really beautiful. It’s a pity she’s caught the eye of the County Marquis’s young master...”

Someone beside them, who was unclear about the situation, curiously asked, ”What’s strange about that? If she’s caught the eye of the County Marquis’s young master, why is it a pity?”

”You don’t know! This young master is notoriously cruel, especially fond of torturing women. The previous number one beauty of our town was taken away by him. After a few days, she was released, and guess what...”

”What happened?”

”That number one beauty was completely unrecognizable, not to mention that her face was branded with strange marks, her body covered in countless bites and scars, and even her limbs were incomplete. She committed suicide the night she returned!”

”This... This is so tragic, isn’t it? It’s like they don’t even see us as human!”

”In front of those powerful noble clans, we commoners are no better than animals...”

Ye Haochuan completely ceased listening to the rest of the conversation; his heart was already on edge. Without caring about exposure, he rushed over and asked, ”The beauty you’re talking about, was she dressed in white and about as tall as my ears...”

”Yes, why?” That person apparently didn’t recognize Ye Haochuan as a fugitive and answered.

”This is bad!” Ye Haochuan exclaimed, quickly asking where the County Government team’s whereabouts.

That person didn’t waste words, directing Ye Haochuan.

Ye Haochuan felt anxious and pursued in the designated direction at top speed.

”Hey, doesn’t that guy look familiar to you?” After Ye Haochuan left, another person suddenly reminded.

”Now that you mention it, he does look like the person the Gu Family is hunting down!” another person replied thoughtfully.

”Should we report it to the Gu Family? Maybe we’ll get some reward!”

”Better not. The guy hasn’t wronged us, why harm him? Besides, the Gu Family has made us suffer a lot, why should we help them?”

”Makes sense...”

Ye Haochuan didn’t know that those two people unintentionally helped him avoid a huge crisis.

If the Gu Family found out he had escaped into Mushan County, the searchers in Shuanghua County would all be deployed there, making every step for Ye Haochuan difficult.

By this time, Ye Haochuan had already chased far ahead. Along the way, he saw traces of where people and horses had traveled, confirming that the path indicated by the two people was correct.

Nevertheless, his anxiety hadn’t eased a bit.

He didn’t know who the young master of the County Marquis was, but from the conversation of those two people, he could confirm that this damned young master was definitely a psychopath.

The danger of Long Keyue being captured by such a psychopath was even greater than being caught by the Gu Family.

The County Marquis Mansion team had been gone for a while. On foot, it took Ye Haochuan a full hour of frantic running before he finally caught sight of the large convoy from a distance.

This convoy was enormous, with four to five hundred people. Among them, the majority were servants or attendants, clearly meant to serve that young master. There were only about a hundred real guards.

Just this one trip required hundreds of servants, indicating the young master’s level of luxury.

Ye Haochuan didn’t rush in. The servants and attendants meant nothing to him, but those hundred guards were not to be trifled with.

Among the guards, the lowest level of cultivation was at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, and the squad leaders and the like were all Immortal Transformation Experts. The captain of this team was already at the Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage.

It’s apparent that those with even a bit of power in the Immortal Realm had guards configured like this. It was true for Gu Tian’s guards before, and the same for this young master’s.

This setup forced Ye Haochuan to act with utmost caution. Any mistake would mean his demise, not to mention losing the only chance to rescue Long Keyue.

Since it was midnight, this group had already set up camp here. A team of servants was roasting freshly hunted gray leopards by the bonfire.

The guards were divided into two teams, one waiting for food, while the other was on patrol.

For Ye Haochuan, the night was the best cover. The invisibility ability had become a major asset for him in the Immortal Realm.

Silently, Ye Haochuan infiltrated the group, making his way toward the central carriage.

The carriage was exquisitely crafted and very spacious, comparable to a small room.

Ye Haochuan had used his Perspective Eyes long ago to scan the entire area. He didn’t find Long Keyue anywhere around. The only place his Perspective Eyes couldn’t penetrate was this room, so Long Keyue must be here.

In front of the carriage, two majestic lion-like demon beasts calmly stood on either side.

Ye Haochuan didn’t recognize these two demon beasts, but he could tell they were formidable. Just judging from their aura, they were at the Immortal Transformation Realm level.

At such a level, Ye Haochuan could handle them with ease. But if both attacked at once, that he couldn’t withstand.

However, another person by the carriage made Ye Haochuan wary. This person was the captain of the guards, an Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage presence.

This Chief Guard wasn’t like Gu Tian’s seemingly ”fortunate” guard, who could entertain themselves with the protected target. He could only quietly guard outside the carriage.

Unfortunately, this guy was extremely diligent, standing there meticulously, alert to the surroundings.

Damn, this is troubling!

Seeing this arrangement, Ye Haochuan’s heart inevitably sank.

Just at that moment, the two demon beasts suddenly turned their heads in Ye Haochuan’s direction and started roaring.

”Oh no, I’ve been discovered!” Ye Haochuan was shocked and immediately broke into a fast sprint.
