Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 1653: Still a Step Too Late?

"Let’s go, I’ll go with you!" Fan Qingyin didn’t stop Ye Haochuan; instead, she said gently.

She could feel Ye Haochuan’s pain at this moment. She knew that if she didn’t let Ye Haochuan go, even if he managed to escape successfully, he’d live in guilt for the rest of his life.

As for her, since Ye Haochuan was ready to take the risk, how could she possibly stay out of it?

"Wait! If we’re going, shouldn’t we have some strategy? Charging in recklessly like this, there’s no way to even get close to Gu Tao!" Di Yan understood it was impossible to stop them now, so he tried to persuade instead.

This time, Ye Haochuan didn’t oppose his words. Although angry, he hadn’t completely lost his sense of reason.

He suddenly looked at the dazed plump woman beside him, and suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. He didn’t have time to calculate the success rate of this plan; he just executed it directly.

"Ghost Escape Technique!" Ye Haochuan suddenly whispered, and then his body went limp.

Fan Qingyin instinctively reached out to support Ye Haochuan and was about to ask, when she heard the "plump woman" beside her suddenly say, "Qingyin, lend me your Green Feather Sword!"

"You... Haochuan?" Fan Qingyin was slightly stunned. Although the scene was somewhat incomprehensible, she knew that the plump woman wouldn’t call her that; only Ye Haochuan would.

Fan Qingyin knew there was no time to think, so she promptly handed the Green Feather Sword to Ye Haochuan.

Ye Haochuan put the Green Feather Sword into the plump woman’s ring, then grabbed his own body with a big hand.

"Haochuan, what are you doing?" Fan Qingyin exclaimed.

She could understand Ye Haochuan borrowing the Green Feather Sword, but bringing his own body along left her somewhat bewildered.

"Don’t worry, I’m very clear-headed now. You all stay here, I’ll take care of that bastard!" Ye Haochuan didn’t explain and walked away without a backward glance.

Di Yan frowned slightly, following along and saying, "I’ll go too, maybe I can help with something!"

His current role was still as Gu Tao’s mount, so following along posed no danger, and Ye Haochuan had no reason to stop him.

The Beast Fighting Arena was large, and the positions of Ye Haochuan and Gu Tao happened to be on opposite sides. Ye Haochuan, anxious in his heart, walked quickly.

Just as he was about to reach Gu Tao’s side, a short and thin man suddenly jumped out, blocking his path.

"Fat woman, why aren’t you obediently guarding your door, running here for what?"

From the plump woman’s memory, Ye Haochuan learned the identity of this short and thin man. He was one of Gu Tao’s guards, a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage cultivator, who often mocked the plump woman by relying on Gu Tao’s status.

"I caught an outsider cultivator and want to ask Young Master Gu Tao for disposal!" Ye Haochuan controlled the plump woman to answer.

While speaking, he swayed his body in front of the short and thin man.

"Oh? An outsider? Could it be the one who killed Gu Yong?" The short and thin man scrutinized Ye Haochuan’s body and asked curiously.

It was a rare event for a member of the Gu Family to be killed in the small town, so everyone in the Gu Family already knew about it.

"Probably!" Ye Haochuan replied.

"Hey, didn’t the Family Head order people to search for him in the city? You’ve been guarding the gate, how did you catch him?"

"This guy might’ve gotten lost and accidentally wandered in here, and I caught him. I figured since he’s a wanted man, he should naturally be handed over to the First Young Master for handling!"

"Oh, I see!" The short and thin man scoffed with a sneer and said, "Give him to me, I’ll send him to the First Young Master."

"This..." Ye Haochuan frowned involuntarily.

He brought his body here intending to use it as an opportunity for an audience. As soon as he got close to Gu Tao, when Gu Tao’s attention was on his body, he planned to strike using the plump woman’s body.

With this thought in mind, he naturally wouldn’t hand his body over to anyone else. Besides, it was his main body; if it were damaged, wouldn’t he suffer a huge loss?

"No need to trouble you; I’ll handle this small matter myself!" Ye Haochuan forced a smile.

"What? Afraid I’ll steal credit from you?" The short and thin man suddenly scowled, speaking coldly.

"I’m not afraid of troubling you," Ye Haochuan laughed awkwardly.

"Trouble my ass, just give it to me, then get lost. Seeing your pig face disgusts me!" The short and thin man suddenly yelled and reached to grab Ye Haochuan’s body.

Damn, is this bastard intentionally sent by Heaven to mess with me?

Ye Haochuan cursed inwardly. Such a good plan, yet it hadn’t even started and already got messed up, making his heart furious.

Since the short and thin man intended to snatch it by force, he couldn’t give it. If he did, not only would he fail to save Little Lei, but his body would also fall into enemy hands.

Damn it, I’ll fight you to the death!

Ye Haochuan gritted his teeth, intending to draw his sword and slaughter the guy before him.

But at that moment, a lazy voice called from afar, "What’s all the noise?"

Ye Haochuan followed the voice and saw Gu Tao watching them, seemingly displeased that Ye Haochuan interrupted his entertainment.

"Nothing, it’s this fat woman..."

The short and thin man wanted to explain when another voice suddenly interjected, "Earlier, when I came in from outside, I seemed to see this lady senior catch a cultivator, seemed like some spy from outside!"

The one speaking was actually Di Yan, who was lurking beside Gu Tao. Earlier, while Ye Haochuan had been entangled with the short and thin cultivator, Di Yan had already returned to Gu Tao’s side, and now it seized the opportunity to help Ye Haochuan.

The short and thin man shot Di Yan a hateful glance, grunting coldly. He had planned to seize credit by being the first to explain to Gu Tao. Now with Di Yan speaking first, it entirely robbed him of the chance.

"Oh? That’s a commendable deed. Bring it over and let me see!" Gu Tao said with interest.

In this city, Gu Tao was equivalent to the Crown Prince. The short and thin man dared not say another word and could only step aside.

Ye Haochuan finally breathed a sigh of relief internally. As long as he could get close to Gu Tao, the chances of him successfully killing Gu Tao and rescuing Little Lei increased significantly.

He hurriedly approached while constantly checking Little Lei’s condition in the Beast Fighting Arena.

The delay with the short and thin man had worsened Little Lei’s injuries. Little Lei’s current aura was weak and listless.

Kuimu Wolf seemed tired of playing, with each of its recent attacks hitting harder than the last.

"No, I must quickly rescue Little Lei; otherwise, it will be too late!"

In a hurry, Ye Haochuan quickened his pace once more.

Ten meters... eight meters... five meters... three meters...

When he was finally very close to Gu Tao, he suddenly felt a tremor in his heart; his soul connection with Little Lei was rapidly fading.

Could it be, he was still a step too late?

Ye Haochuan stood there dumbfounded, feeling a chill in his limbs.
