Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2005: 2005: A Pure and Kindhearted Man

A boisterous throng was about to assail Ye Haochuan.

“Stop hitting our benefactor, stop… “

The colossal man attempted to intervene, but an auntie seized him. Fearing he might inadvertently injure her due to his immense strength, he couldn't break free and could only bellow from the periphery.

This auntie, upon hearing him, grabbed a hefty stick and struck the giant man while berating him: “You dolt, being manipulated by others and still defending them! We’ve poured so much effort into raising you this large…”

“Utterly shameless!” Witnessing the unfolding scene, Ye Haochuan chuckled wryly, shaking his head.

“Scoundrel… ” Enraged further by Ye Haochuan’s words, the stick was immediately swung in his direction.

Their expressions clearly betrayed a potent mix of fury and mortification.

As the crude weapons descended, Ye Haochuan emitted a soft snort, deftly maneuvered the Divine Concealment Sword, and instantly cleaved every approaching club in twain.

Although these individuals possessed the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage, it was an endowment, not a result of personal endeavor. Lacking experience in actual cultivation combat, they were incapable of channeling spiritual energy, relying solely on raw physical might. Furthermore, their brute force paled in comparison to the giant man’s, rendering them as feeble as scholars before Ye Haochuan.

“Something’s amiss; he’s a formidable expert!”

Alarmed, the crowd instantaneously recoiled in fear.

While they had never honed their cultivation techniques, they had witnessed numerous powerful individuals and recognized that these were not adversaries they could contend with.

Auntie Wang, the first to recover, saw her anger evaporate, replaced by an earnest demeanor. She promptly dropped to her knees, lamenting, “A humble village woman, I failed to perceive your true stature. We beg your forgiveness!”

Her plea prompted the others to stir and also kneel.

In their estimation, anyone with the capacity for cultivation practice was blessed with extraordinary fortune, destined for great achievements, hence they were addressed as ‘lord’.

Ye Haochuan’s perception of them remained unchanged by this abrupt shift in their attitude; they were the archetypal bullies, quick to cowtow before the mighty.

“Now, does anyone still object to me taking him?” Ye Haochuan, disinclined to prolong the exchange, posed the question directly.

“This…” A collective hesitation rippled through the crowd as they exchanged glances.

“What? Do you feel you haven’t sufficiently tormented him yet?”

Ye Haochuan let out a light chuckle. “Indeed, a willing laborer who consistently procures valuable items for you—his departure must surely be a regrettable loss…”

“It’s not like that; we…” Their faces contorted as they attempted to refute his statement.

“Did I misstate anything?” Ye Haochuan’s voice grew cold. “Does any one of you dare claim you genuinely regarded him as one of your own villagers, rather than an imbecile, a mere tool for your exploitation?”

“We…”

“You speak of raising him, yet I observe that he has been the sole provider for your parasitic existence. He perpetually delivered splendid spoils, only for you to strip him bare, leaving him with naught but sweet potatoes to sustain himself.

Had you possessed even a shred of conscience, you would have readily shared the choicest cuts of meat when he brought back the tiger, rather than fabricating a spurious pretext to dismiss him!”

“When he was young…” Their arguments faltered, with only Auntie Wang bravely attempting a defense.

“Spare me the details of how you purportedly cared for him in his youth!”

Ye Haochuan scoffed. “I did not witness his upbringing firsthand, but judging by your current state, it’s highly improbable you treated him with kindness. To even neglect mentioning other matters, this dilapidated hovel speaks volumes!”

“Considering the bounty he has presented on countless occasions, a stone dwelling, or even a grand estate, would have been well within reach. Yet, you appropriated his treasures to construct your own homes, feasted on meat daily, and relegated him to such squalor…”

Ye Haochuan’s unsparing words compelled everyone to lower their heads in shame, utterly devoid of the will to retort. Even Auntie Wang, initially resolute, yearned to vanish into thin air.

As Ye Haochuan accurately pointed out, they had never bothered to truly observe the giant man since his childhood. Otherwise, they would not have bestowed upon him the moniker Niu Yibi. Had it not been for his exceptional prowess in securing substantial game, they likely would have remained entirely indifferent to him.

Now, with Ye Haochuan exposing their sordid truths, it felt as though moral scourges were relentlessly lashing their faces.

Despite their inherent thick-skinned nature, a profound sense of shame washed over them.

Ye Haochuan, unwilling to squander more time on such ungrateful wretches, let out a dismissive snort. “He may be simple-minded, but his heart is pure; he fails to perceive your malevolence, but I do. From this moment forth, he belongs to me. Should you dare to harm my people, you shall face repercussions!”

“Mercy, my lord, we swear never again! Please spare us!” Terror-stricken, they prostrated themselves, imploring for clemency.

Auntie Wang, possessing the most cunning intellect among them, perceived the unyielding sternness on Ye Haochuan’s visage. She swiftly turned, knelt before the giant man, conjured tears, and pleaded, “Niu Yibi, I acknowledge our past transgressions, but given our longstanding village ties, we implore your forgiveness!”

Witnessing this, the others regained their senses and turned to implore the giant man as well.

Recognizing that Ye Haochuan possessed a cunning nature, difficult to sway, while the hulking man was more straightforward and easily influenced. Their tactic proved successful; upon observing the crowd suddenly prostrating themselves before him, the giant man was taken aback, hastily inquiring of Ye Haochuan, "Benefactor, they treated me well normally, please grant them leniency?" Ye Haochuan almost lost his footing upon hearing this. 'So, everything I uttered was in vain, and you still believe they treated you kindly?' After a brief pause, Ye Haochuan shook his head, letting out a sigh, "Possessing such genuine goodwill, yet enduring such mistreatment, are they not beneath the level of beasts?" They perceived the underlying sarcasm in Ye Haochuan's words but paid it no mind; a sense of relief washed over them, as it signified he would not end their lives. "We are grateful for your lordly mercy; we shall certainly mend our ways and begin anew!" Auntie Wang was the first to voice her thanks. Ye Haochuan harbored no interest in engaging with them further, dismissing them with a wave of his hand. His decision not to take their lives was a concession to the giant man's sensibilities, aiming to avoid creating discord between them. Not long after the crowd dispersed, Auntie Wang reappeared, bearing a substantial portion of tiger meat, ostensibly to host the guest accompanying the giant man. Ye Haochuan held no affection for this woman whatsoever. She was undeniably the most manipulative, having certainly been the instigator in bullying the giant man. However, given the circumstances, Ye Haochuan chose not to contest her actions. His primary objective at this moment was to ascertain the contents of the box concealed beneath the formation's core.
