Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2030: Did Someone from Half-Mountain Residence Show Favoritism?

"Wrong, wrong, wrong!" The youth looked down on Ye Haochuan again and said, "I say, do you really want to be selected?"

"If I don’t want to be selected, what am I doing here?" Ye Haochuan was baffled by the question.

"True, if you don’t even know that Half-Mountain Residence only picks one person, naturally, you wouldn’t know about that eccentric Ju Yuqu either, right?" The youth shook his head and sighed, "With that weirdo around, others don’t stand a chance, okay?"

"Ju Yuqu? That talented genius from the Ju Family?" Ye Haochuan recalled hearing a mention of him earlier from the man by the wooden structure, it left some impression.

"Who else could it be?" The youth curled his lip and sighed, "At eighteen, his cultivation level reached Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage. Such a genius, even ten of us couldn’t compare!"

"Knowing you’re no match, why do you still attend this Disciple Selection Meeting?" Ye Haochuan asked with a smile.

"Of course, it’s to make a name for myself!" The youth replied proudly, "This Half-Mountain Residence Disciple Selection Meeting is a world-renowned event. If you can shine brightly here, the road ahead will surely be smooth and promising!"

Ye Haochuan finally understood why outsiders, knowing they wouldn’t be selected, were still eager to attend the Half-Mountain Residence’s Disciple Selection Meeting; it was because of this.

Ye Haochuan wasn’t interested in making a name for himself or being a disciple of Half-Mountain Residence. He simply wanted to enter the top three, find that gray-black-haired person, rescue Sophia, and then continue on his own path.

Therefore, he didn’t care about Ju Yuqu at all, but he did have a good impression of the youth in front of him.

This guy, after seeing his cultivation level, didn’t show any disdain and spoke so much to him—a truly kind-hearted person.

Even in remote places like Shuanghua County and Mushan County, those below Immortal Transformation were despised. Moreover, in big places like Half-Mountain County, even Immortal Transformation Cultivators were as common as fish in a river, and no one bothered to respect a Nascent Soul Stage ant.

"By the way, my name is Cao Renshuang, what’s yours?"

"Cao Renshuang? Nice name, haha!" Ye Haochuan chuckled and told his name as well.

The two immediately started chatting away.

This Cao Renshuang was the young master of a major family in Half-Mountain County; half of the mines there were operated by his family, a wealthy and influential one. However, he was evidently not a spoiled brat and was a kind-hearted person.

"By the way, that woman downstairs and the two men from Half-Mountain Residence outside, are they disciples of Half-Mountain Residence?" Ye Haochuan suddenly asked.

On his way here, these three piqued Ye Haochuan’s curiosity the most.

"Those three are disciples of the fourth generation of Half-Mountain Residence, their cultivation level is likely at the bottom of the list in Half-Mountain Residence!" Cao Renshuang replied.

My gosh, even the ones at the bottom are at Immortal Transformation Late Stage, how strong would the strongest be?

Ye Haochuan found it a bit overwhelming to imagine.

Cao Renshuang didn’t pay attention to the change in Ye Haochuan’s expression and continued, "The one outside named Shu Longyue, is the youngest disciple of the fourth generation, was previously the standout in the last Disciple Selection Meeting. Five years ago, he was at Immortal Transformation Early Stage, in just five short years, he has crossed two levels!"

"The second one named Guan Shan, ranks sixth in the fourth generation, from the batch fifteen years ago. I don’t know much, just that his skills in physiognomy are extraordinary. As for the senior sister downstairs, she’s even more mysterious; all I know is her name is Liu Yifei, her cultivation level is unknown..."

Ye Haochuan silently noted down these names, knowing if he could truly connect with Half-Mountain Residence, these people would definitely be immensely helpful.

After some conversation, the two shared their food and went to bed early.

Today was already the last day of registration, and tomorrow the formal competition would start. The two must conserve their strength and be in the best state to face tomorrow’s competition.

Early the next morning, the two got up early and went downstairs to gather. It was Ye Haochuan’s first time seeing the other selected people.

The people here were not that old; the oldest was only in their thirties.

"Huh? How did a Nascent Soul Stage ant manage to get in?" A woman with a fox-like face cast a contemptuous glance at Ye Haochuan.

Her declaration swiftly gained agreement from the surrounding crowd.

"Indeed, if he were a maiden, perhaps it would be understandable. But at twenty-four or twenty-five and still not having shed the mortal coil, how can he be considered a genius?"

"Could it be that he slipped in while Brother Guan Shan wasn't paying attention? Otherwise, with such qualifications, how could he possibly be here?"

"That must be it!" A young man clad in gray robes concurred, then added with scorn towards Ye Haochuan, "Hey, I advise you to depart quickly. Standing alongside us is simply an affront to us geniuses!"

This statement immediately provoked a wave of mocking laughter.

"How could you say that? If the gates of Half-Mountain Residence were so easily breached, why don't you sneak in and show us?" Cao Renshuang, unable to restrain himself, retorted.

His words left the gray-cloaked youth flushed with embarrassment and rendered speechless.

Even a peak cultivator at the Immortal Transformation stage would hesitate to claim they could breach the gates of Half-Mountain Residence, let alone Ye Haochuan, who was merely a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Anyone harboring such a thought would surely be considered a fool.

The fox-faced lady disdainfully chimed in, "Even if he didn't sneak in, so what? Perhaps he gained entry through some other dishonorable method?"

"Are you suggesting that the individuals at Half-Mountain Residence are corrupt?" Ye Haochuan inquired with a smile.

"This..." The fox-faced lady was caught off guard, unable to respond.

If she denied it, she would be contradicting herself; if she affirmed it, she would be offending Half-Mountain Residence.

"You all possess such limited foresight!" Cao Renshuang seized the moment to declare, "Brother Ye, since he was selected, he must possess remarkable qualities. Should you underestimate him, you will undoubtedly regret it!"

Good heavens, this fellow, isn't he essentially prompting them to pay closer attention to me?

Ye Haochuan felt a mixture of gratitude and slight exasperation.

Concealing one's true strength to catch the enemy off guard often yields significant advantages. If he were taken seriously from the outset, every confrontation might demand considerable effort.

Compared to arduous battles, Ye Haochuan preferred to be underestimated.

Fortunately, the onlookers clearly paid no heed to Cao Renshuang's words, dismissing Ye Haochuan with a mere glance and remarking, "What disruptions could an ant at the Nascent Soul Stage possibly cause?"

"You..." Cao Renshuang intended to say more but was halted by Ye Haochuan's gentle smile.

At that precise moment, a youth dressed in white slowly descended from the upper floors. Disregarding everyone else present, he directly positioned himself at the front of the line.

His presence immediately conveyed an extraordinary presence, radiating an aura of superiority over all others.

His arrival drew everyone's attention away from Ye Haochuan and towards him. Notably, the fox-faced lady gracefully adjusted her figure, elegantly approaching the white-clothed youth and speaking softly in an attempt to capture his notice.
