Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2013: Family Ethics Suspense Drama

Ye Haochuan initially had no desire to expend significant effort on these individuals, but as they were intent on conflict, he would not falter.

Just as hostilities were poised to erupt anew, Liu Yu launched the opening strike. Interestingly, his target was neither Ye Haochuan nor Niu Kui, but rather the Old Woman, whose back was turned to him throughout the preceding moments.

With a sudden gasp, the Old Woman spewed a mouthful of blood, her vital aura rapidly diminishing to naught. She looked at Liu Yu with utter disbelief, stammering, "Liu Yu, you..."

Having delivered his blow, Liu Yu had already relocated to the vicinity of Ye Haochuan and Niu Kui. He cast a sneering glance at the Old Woman and declared, "Ten years have passed. Have you all forgotten how you forced me into this imprisonment?"

He then turned his attention to Ye Haochuan and Niu Kui, stating, "You two, we are allies, not adversaries. I implore you to assist me in dispatching these three!"

Ye Haochuan was taken aback by this abrupt shift in the situation. From Liu Yu's words, it appeared his connection with these people was considerably more intricate than Ye Haochuan had initially surmised.

"Why should I lend you my aid?" Regardless of their purported relationship, Ye Haochuan's assessment of Liu Yu was far from favorable, making him unwilling to offer help without a compelling reason.

Liu Yu offered a smile and replied, "The Purple Crested Crane is bound to me by a profound connection; it heeds no one but my word. If you wish to traverse this river, your best course of action is to cooperate with me!"

Ye Haochuan experienced a moment of surprise upon hearing this. If Liu Yu's assertion proved true, then collaboration indeed seemed a necessary step.

"Cooperating with you undoubtedly presents advantages, yet I still wish to comprehend the full scope of what transpired between all of you. I do not aid a despot merely for personal gain." Ye Haochuan chuckled.

While Ye Haochuan harbored no particular fondness for Yingzi's family, their dispute did not appear to have reached a point of mortal combat. At the very least, Yingzi's family had never posed a direct threat to his life.

Ye Haochuan disdained killing others unnecessarily, and the current justifications were insufficient to incite a desire to eliminate Yingzi's family.

Liu Yu paused, recalling the events, and recounted, "A decade ago, I was merely passing through this locale. However, solely based on the words of that foolish individual, their entire family conspired to subdue me, compelling me into marriage with that simpleton. Furthermore, they employed a clandestine technique to cripple my cultivation, ensuring it remained stagnant for ten arduous years."

"Then why did you not effect an escape? If your account is accurate, and the Purple Crested Crane is indeed yours to command, you should have been capable of fleeing at will, correct?" Ye Haochuan inquired with composure.

The Purple Crested Crane's cultivation level was not exceptionally high, yet it was an exceedingly rare flying demon beast. Within the Immortal Realm, even cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage were incapable of flight. Had Liu Yu taken flight on the Purple Crested Crane, none present could have possibly intercepted him.

"I yearned to! Yet, they administered a potent poison. Any thought of escape on my part would trigger its lethal effects at their discretion!" Liu Yu's brow furrowed.

Ye Haochuan's curiosity deepened, prompting him to ask, "In that regard, now that you are acting thusly, are you not apprehensive that they might still exact your demise?"

Liu Yu responded with a knowing smile, "The poison's administration is contingent on that vile Old Woman's control. I have just shattered her Dantian. Without her Spiritual Energy and vital essence, she is powerless to maintain its influence!"

He then looked back at Ye Haochuan and added, "Speaking of which, I remain indebted to you. Had your formidable presence not been so conspicuous, she would not have diverted her complete attention towards you, affording me this singular opportunity!"

It was only then that Ye Haochuan grasped the depth of Liu Yu's resolve; he was a master strategist, enduring years of subservience and humiliation with unwavering patience, all to lull the Old Woman and her cohort into a false sense of security.

Now, with his decisive action and the imminent threat posed by Ye Haochuan's group to the Old Woman's faction, his meticulously crafted plan had finally culminated in success.

"You ungrateful wretch! Despite our confinement of your Qi and your freedom, we nonetheless bestowed our cherished daughter upon you in marriage. And for this kindness, you repay us with flagrant enmity!" the Old Woman seethed with hatred.

"Haha, you possess the audacity to utter such words? Imprisoning my cultivation and restricting my freedom—are you truly ignorant of how paramount cultivation is to a cultivator?"

Liu Yu erupted into wild laughter, retorting, "Moreover, your daughter is an object of adoration solely in your eyes. Her licentious conduct—did you truly assume I remained oblivious?"

With that, he appeared to recall something, and fixing his gaze upon the black-clad elder, he remarked, "On a related note, I happened upon a rather shocking revelation, something you might find pertinent to your interests!"

The black-clad elder, witnessing Liu Yu's demeanor, visibly paled and pleaded, "No!"

Liu Yu disregarded his entreaty and let out another laugh, proclaiming, "Your entire lineage, every last one of you, are nothing short of beasts. Engaging in illicit relations with one's own father—the mere thought is utterly repulsive!"

"What?"

The instant Liu Yu finished speaking, each individual present was struck as if by a bolt from the heavens on a clear day.

Indeed, the depravity of the accusation was staggering!

Observing the black-clad elder and then Yingzi, Ye Haochuan’s imagination conjured a few scenarios.

He had already sensed Yingzi’s allure and was now observing her brazenness firsthand.

Shedding her usual haughtiness, Yingzi frantically attempted to explain herself to the old woman. However, the old woman, ignoring Yingzi’s pleas, turned her fury on the black-clad elder. "You… how could you… she is your own daughter!"

The black-clad elder’s face contorted with conflicting emotions, yet he seemed resigned to the revelation. Instead of distress, he let out a wild laugh. "Biological daughter? Haha, did you truly believe I was unaware of whose child Yingzi really is?"

With that, his intense gaze locked onto Old Wang.

"When… when did you discover this?" the old woman stammered, shocked.

"I’ve known for quite some time, but I couldn’t be bothered with arguing. Besides, you are aging, and having your daughter serve me in your stead is hardly a disadvantage!" the black-clad elder scoffed lightly.

My word, this family drama is truly a masterpiece!

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but admire the unfolding events.

Ye Haochuan finally grasped Liu Yu’s assessment: this family was indeed full of vipers. And Old Wang, true to his name, certainly embodied the ‘exceptional talents’ of the neighboring Wang family.

"Enough said!" Liu Yu’s expression turned grim. "You will cure my poison, and perhaps I shall overlook the harsh treatment I endured over these past ten years."

He wasn’t merely boasting. While the black-clad elder remained unharmed and Old Wang was not severely injured among the three elders, Liu Yu genuinely couldn’t best them. However, with Ye Haochuan now as his ally, he wouldn't have to face them alone.

Ye Haochuan offered no dissent, understanding that he relied on Liu Yu’s Purple Crested Crane for passage across the river. He had no choice but to back Liu Yu’s play.

Having absorbed the truth about the black-clad elder and Yingzi’s relationship, the old woman appeared to age by a decade in an instant. Without further ado, she produced a green pill and offered it to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu, seemingly without a shred of doubt, consumed the pill immediately. After ten years, he must have become intimately familiar with the antidote, recognizing its authenticity.

Upon swallowing the pill, Liu Yu’s complexion momentarily paled before his cultivation surged, propelling him to the Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage.

Ye Haochuan, possessing medical knowledge, immediately discerned that his cultivation had been siphoned and suppressed by the Sorcery Insect. With the insect’s demise, his power had been restored, enabling this breakthrough.

This realization prompted Ye Haochuan to regard Liu Yu with heightened caution. At the Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage, even an alliance with Niu Kui might not suffice to defeat him.

Fortunately, Liu Yu showed no inclination to renege on his promise. He summoned the Purple Crested Crane, and with two swift journeys, transported Ye Haochuan and Niu Kui to the opposite bank.

As the last to depart, Liu Yu cast a lingering glance back at the place he had called home for a decade before turning away.

It was evident that despite the many grievances accumulated over those ten years, some memories held a certain fondness.

Following their departure, the old woman, Yingzi, and the others remained in silence, their future uncertain after the truth had been laid bare.

After ensuring Ye Haochuan and Niu Kui had crossed the river, Liu Yu bid them farewell and departed.

That fellow is not as straightforward as he seems!

Ye Haochuan watched Liu Yu’s retreating figure with a sigh before setting off towards Skywolf City in Anxi County alongside Niu Kui.
