Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2057: Are You Young Master Li?

"Who are you supposed to be? How dare you speak so boldly in this place?" The gatekeeper, noticing Ye Haochuan's unfamiliar face and his less-than-wealthy attire, immediately flared up in anger.

Commander Zhang almost leaped out of his skin at the gatekeeper's outburst.

*Damn it, can't you see I'm being extremely careful with him? If you manage to thoroughly anger this gentleman, we'll all be done for!*

"I already told you to scram, so why are you still blabbering? Get out!" Commander Zhang bellowed furiously.

Hearing this, the gatekeeper's expression shifted dramatically: "Zhang, what do you mean by this? Don't you realize the close relationship our master has with the Prefectural Governor? Bringing someone here to barge into the Li Residence – I can see you're tired of your career!"

Commander Zhang found himself in a truly difficult situation. He genuinely didn't dare to provoke the Li Residence, but even more so, he could not afford to offend Ye Haochuan!

However, the Guard Commander before him, at this very moment, had completely committed himself to appeasing Ye Haochuan. He no longer dared to ponder the possibility of retaliation from the Li Residence afterwards, because he understood that if he didn't attend to Ye Haochuan with utmost care right now, he would meet an instant death.

Thus, at this critical juncture, the Guard Commander immediately lifted his spear and engaged the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper possessed no cultivation, relying solely on the authority of the Li Family to act arrogantly. But upon witnessing the Guard Commander, who was at the Early Stage of Immortal Transformation, charging forward, he instantly lost his nerve and turned to flee.

Even while running, he didn't forget to hurl a parting threat.

"Madness, utter madness! I think you're all insane! I'll report this to the Family Head and make you all pay!"

Ye Haochuan's expression remained unchanged as he stepped into the compound.

The Guard Commander, with great enthusiasm, continued to clear the path ahead, aggressively driving away all the household servants.

Meanwhile, Commander Zhang's face was ashen, as if he had just lost his closest relative.

He knew, regardless of how the Li Residence and Ye Haochuan eventually settled their dispute concerning the imposing figure, he had irrevocably offended the Li Residence.

As he nervously advanced further, a powerful and arrogant voice suddenly boomed from ahead.

"What is the meaning of this? Storming into the Li Residence, are you seeking death?"

Upon seeing the approaching individual, Commander Zhang's heart sank, and he quickly stepped forward to reply, "Young Master Li, this gentleman is here..."

"You are Young Master Li?" Ye Haochuan suddenly cut in.

"Yes, it is your grandpa me, what is it?" Young Master Li responded with utter disdain.

"Not much, I just want to teach you a lesson!" Ye Haochuan declared, and in the next instant, his figure blurred, appearing directly in front of Young Master Li, his hand raised for a punch.

Young Master Li also possessed cultivation at the Early Stage of Immortal Transformation, but it was clearly woefully insufficient against Ye Haochuan. He didn't even perceive Ye Haochuan's movement before a dizzying blow landed, the pain unbearable.

"How dare you strike this young master, you..."

Young Master Li, filled with rage, was just about to retort when he felt a powerful punch land squarely on the other side of his cheek.

The surrounding members of the Li Family were utterly stunned. In their many decades of life, they had never witnessed anyone dare to assault Young Master Li in such a manner. It was simply an unbelievable spectacle; they felt as if they were dreaming.

"Why are you all just standing there? Quickly capture this scoundrel for me!" Young Master Li, his face already red with fury, roared.

The Li Family members snapped out of their stupor, surging forward, attempting to overwhelm Ye Haochuan with their sheer numbers.

"Nine-Tailed Sword Qi!"

The Nine-Tailed Phantom materialized abruptly, and its Nine-Tailed Swords struck out in a seemingly chaotic pattern. Yet, every single strike forced a Li Family guard to recoil or suffer severe injury.

This was Ye Haochuan deliberately refraining from taking any lives; otherwise, not a single one of them would have survived.

Commander Zhang's eye twitched slightly, his internal shock palpable.

He felt an immense sense of relief that he had yielded after just a single punch from Ye Haochuan. Otherwise, in a true confrontation, he stood no chance against Ye Haochuan's formidable cultivation technique.

After all, the Li Family was merely a prominent clan within Anxi County, lacking a multitude of exceptionally strong individuals. Among the guards present, the most powerful was only at the Mid-Stage of Immortal Transformation.

These individuals couldn't even breach the attack range of the Nine-Tailed Sword Qi; instead, they were paralyzed by Ye Haochuan's imposing aura, unable to advance.

Ye Haochuan's anger was far from abated, as he pummeled Young Master Li relentlessly, his face rapidly becoming bruised and swollen.

The unfortunate Young Master Li, who had never endured such treatment in his life, wailed incessantly.

"Stop!" A resounding shout emanated from within the residence.

Ye Haochuan's assault momentarily ceased. The source of the voice possessed a formidable aura, likely at the Late Stage of Immortal Transformation or higher, prompting caution from Ye Haochuan.

"Vile creature, how dare you cause trouble in the Li Residence, come face your fate!" The shout originated from a middle-aged man in his forties. After speaking, he charged at Ye Haochuan with a large blade.

"Lord Ma, don’t!" Commander Zhang hurriedly cried out.

Lord Ma halted his blade upon hearing the shout, looking curiously at Commander Zhang.

Commander Zhang quickly explained, "This gentleman hails from Half-Mountain Residence, here to see the Prefectural Governor!"

Upon hearing "Half-Mountain Residence," Lord Ma’s legs went weak, nearly causing him to stumble.

Good heavens, why wasn't it mentioned earlier that he was from Half-Mountain Residence?

Lord Ma glared bitterly at Commander Zhang, cursing internally.

Just then, a white-haired elder slowly emerged from the inner residence. He said, "I am Liao Li, the County Marquis here. May I ask what this young friend seeks me for?"

Compared to Commander Zhang and the others, the Prefectural Governor appeared evidently calmer, having learned of Ye Haochuan’s identity.

After all, as the head of a county, he possessed the required insight.

The Half-Mountain Residence itself has very few disciples, and such a significant matter as their selection process draws the attention of the entire Immortal Realm Continent. Therefore, the disciples chosen in every session by Half-Mountain Residence have their information publicly listed by intelligence agencies.

Grassroots individuals might not be privy to such details due to access limitations, but as the County Marquis, Liao Li was certainly well-informed about the disciples of Half-Mountain Residence.

He was sure Ye Haochuan wasn’t a formal disciple of Half-Mountain Residence; he should merely be a Guest Elder.

Regarding the Guest Elders of Half-Mountain Residence, Liao Li could maintain politeness but wouldn’t stoop to excessive deference.

"You are the Prefectural Governor?" Ye Haochuan sized up Liao Li, then calmly stated, "A friend of mine was apprehended by your lordship. I merely wish to inquire, what crime did he commit?"

"Your friend? May I know his name?" Liao Li inquired.

"Niu Kui!"

"Niu Kui?" Liao Li seemed bewildered, turning to Lord Ma with an inquiring expression.

Lord Ma, however, upon hearing the name, instantly turned pale. He swallowed hard before whispering a few words to Liao Li.

Liao Li’s brow gradually furrowed, forming a character that resembled a downward-pointing arrow.

At this moment, a svelte middle-aged man suddenly walked out from the inner residence.

The middle-aged man saw Ye Haochuan holding Young Master Li; his face instantly changed. His gaze toward Ye Haochuan bore a hint of anger.

"Governor Liao, what are you waiting for? This guy has harmed my son like this, shouldn’t you have your men take him down for me?"
