Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 1645: I’m No Saint!
"Oh no, that creature is a Di Ting Beast!" Fan Qingyin suddenly recognized the fierce beast and whispered anxiously.
Damn, could we really be this unlucky?
Ye Haochuan felt a sudden shock in his heart.
The Di Ting Beast has extraordinary perception abilities; no wonder they were discovered even though they hid their aura.
"What should we do now?" Fan Qingyin asked urgently.
Ye Haochuan furrowed his brow and said in a deep voice, "What else can we do? Since we’ve been discovered, we have to fight hard!"
He was actually quite frustrated; fighting head-on wasn’t really a good idea. Putting aside whether they could win, even if they did, it would alert the enemy, making rescuing Little Lei several times more difficult.
"Little Di, what have you discovered?" The man in black noticed the beast’s unusual behavior and asked.
The beast hesitated, then shook its head, as if nothing had happened, and continued walking towards the small town.
"Damn, it didn’t actually discover us, scared me to death!" Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"No, it definitely discovered us. The Di Ting Beast isn’t famous for no reason," Fan Qingyin frowned. "But I don’t know why it helped us?"
"Maybe it thinks the guy is handsome and the girl is beautiful, and doesn’t want to make things difficult for us?" Ye Haochuan laughed.
"At a time like this, you’re still joking?" Fan Qingyin said irritably.
"Well, what else can we do? Should we chase it down and ask why it helped us?" Ye Haochuan said with a pout.
Fan Qingyin was instantly silenced by Ye Haochuan’s words.
After waiting for yet another hour, finally, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Early Stage emerged from the barrier.
They followed for a while, and upon ensuring the people in the small town wouldn’t discover them, Ye Haochuan unleashed a Sword Flash, instantly killing him.
"Ah, the Snow Edge Sword is ultimately not as handy as the Divine Concealment Sword!" Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but lament.
Rummaging through the cultivator’s storage ring, Ye Haochuan successfully found a jade bead.
Earlier, when the cultivator emerged, he used the jade bead to open a small door in the barrier.
As for other magical treasures, most were low-level stuff that Ye Haochuan couldn’t use at the moment; he could only take them back to be used by the Long Alliance.
After securing the items, the two found a hidden place, opened the barrier with the jade bead, and entered triumphantly.
"Damn, no wonder this place has a Spirit Gathering Array, the spiritual energy is way too abundant!" Ye Haochuan exclaimed, the concentration of spiritual energy here could already rival the green area of the Five Elements Holy Marrow Pool.
The number of people in the small town was far more than Ye Haochuan imagined; shortly after they walked out, they entered a bustling street.
Seeing the already narrow road teeming with a crowd, Ye Haochuan seemed to experience the hustle and bustle of the secular world during the Spring Festival travel rush.
What struck Ye Haochuan as odd was that most of these people were ordinary people who hadn’t practiced cultivation methods at all. Among a hundred individuals, there wasn’t even one cultivator.
"Something’s not right, logically speaking, with such abundant spiritual energy here, there shouldn’t be so many people who can’t cultivate?" Fan Qingyin wondered.
In the secular world, there aren’t many cultivators mainly because few have the chance to encounter one and learn cultivation methods; the primary reason is that spiritual energy is too scarce.
But here, there are clearly quite a few cultivators, so the first issue is easily resolved. The second issue shouldn’t be a problem either.
With such innate conditions, it’s not scientifically plausible for so many people not to cultivate.
"It’s probably not that they don’t want to learn; it’s that someone won’t let them learn!" Ye Haochuan suddenly focused his gaze on the end of the street, frowning.
Fan Qingyin followed Ye Haochuan’s gaze to see a group of guards carrying a fat man in his thirties, slowly walking from the other side of the street.
The once extremely crowded crowd quickly dispersed, instantly carving out a more than two-meter-wide path.
This scene stunned Ye Haochuan, amazed at how these people managed it.
Several people walking a bit slower were promptly whipped several times by the guards.
Those who got hit didn’t even dare to cry out in pain, lowering their heads and quickly fleeing to the side. One man, injured in the foot and running slower, was even killed on the spot.
"This is horrible, how can they kill people so casually, they don’t even regard them as humans," Fan Qingyin bit her lip in anger.
"Don’t just blame the fat man; even the people themselves don’t see themselves as humans!" Ye Haochuan sighed.
Fan Qingyin froze at his words and looked around. The people around stood to the side, seemingly indifferent to the victims, their eyes clearly filled with numbness.
These were no longer living individuals, but rather a group of domesticated livestock.
"What’s going on? Why aren’t they resisting?" Fan Qingyin said angrily.
"How could they resist? Ordinary people can’t possibly resist cultivators," Ye Haochuan sighed.
"At least they shouldn’t live as if they were pigs or dogs!"
"I believe in the beginning, there must have been quite a few people who thought like you among them,"
At this moment, Ye Haochuan transformed into a philosopher, sighing, "But, either they are gone, or they have knelt under absolute power, abandoning such unrealistic ideas."
"No way, we should rescue them!"
"Please, we’re still in danger ourselves. I’m not a saint; I don’t particularly enjoy sacrificing myself for others," Ye Haochuan said with a pout.
"How can you be so heartless? I must have been wrong about you!" Fan Qingyin said angrily.
Ye Haochuan chuckled bitterly and said, "If it were you who got caught, I would risk my life to save you. But for a group of complete strangers, I don’t have the responsibility or obligation to take the risk."
"If I have the power and chance in the future, I will choose to come back and rescue them. But for now, it’s impossible!"
Hearing Ye Haochuan’s resolute tone, Fan Qingyin knew her request was indeed unrealistic, so she stopped speaking.
In the midst of their conversation, the group of guards and the fat man were already quite close to them.
The people around swiftly dispersed. Not wanting to expose themselves prematurely, they too planned to make way for the fat man. Unfortunately, it was too late.
"You two scumbags, you see Young Master Yong’s carriage and you haven’t moved aside yet, are you looking for death?" One guard noticed Ye Haochuan and Fan Qingyin and cursed, raising a whip to strike.
Ridiculous, a few Postnatal Stage losers dare to yell at me?
Ye Haochuan felt deeply vexed.
Forget the guards, even that fat man was merely at the Innate stage. Normally, Ye Haochuan could crush them all with a single slap.
But if they attacked now, they’d certainly be exposed.
"Hold it!" Just as Ye Haochuan hesitated over whether to make a move, the fat man suddenly shouted, "I didn’t expect to find such a beauty hidden here. Don’t hurt her; this young master wants to have some fun!"
