Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2309: There Might Still Be a Chance!

"Baili Langjun? Who is that?" Ye Haochuan looked bewildered.
"You know what ’playboy’ means, right? It’s the kind of scumbag who tricks women and then leaves after getting what he wants."
Tang Yucheng said with a look of admiration, "But Baili Langjun is different. He does attract butterflies, yet he never oversteps boundaries. He is truly someone who roams among thousands of flowers, but not a single leaf sticks to him. He’s a playboy and a gentleman, hence the name Langjun.
With his dazzling looks and carefree, charming personality, not to mention his formidable strength, he has caused countless infatuated young women to pine away in lovesickness."
"Formidable strength? Do you know what his cultivation is?" Ye Haochuan was not interested at all in how flamboyant the man was, posing his most pressing concern instead.
Tang Yucheng just shook his head and said, "No one knows exactly how powerful he is, but at the Heavenly World Mansion, no one dares to oppose him, not even Lord Prefecture holds him in contempt!"
"That powerful?" Ye Haochuan pondered deeply.
Suddenly, something seemed to strike him, and his face changed dramatically. He gave Tang Yucheng a kick on the rear.
"You idiot, you let me run into such a master! If he had been a bit short-tempered, I would’ve been a goner!" Just the thought sent shivers down Ye Haochuan’s spine, and he almost fell to the ground from fear.
Even the Prefecture Master had to treat him with respect; he’s at least at the Void God Mid-Stage level. Such a powerful expert could easily wipe him out with a wave of the hand.
Tang Yucheng also took a breath at the thought that if Ye Haochuan were reduced to ashes, he, as the instigator, wouldn’t escape death either.
"Thankfully, Baili Langjun is a true gentleman and wouldn’t kill someone easily over a slight offense!" Tang Yucheng still felt a lingering fear.
Xun’er, the little girl beside them, seemed puzzled as she looked at the two pale-faced guys. The man they had met earlier seemed kind and didn’t make her feel any sense of crisis at all. Was he really that scary?
The two of them awkwardly smiled and didn’t explain the incident to the young girl, composed themselves, and continued on their way.
As they walked, little Xun’er, seemingly intentionally or not, came to Ye Haochuan’s side, looking a bit bashful.
"What’s wrong?" Ye Haochuan asked quietly.
He was also quite fond of the little girl.
Xun’er’s face turned slightly red as she timidly said, "Big brother, do you really like Xun’er? Can you wait a few years until Xun’er grows up, and then marry you?"
Oh my gosh, what’s with kids nowadays? They’re only eleven or twelve and already thinking about such nonsense?
Ye Haochuan instantly broke out in a sweat.
"Xun’er, I see you as a sister just like your brother does. Don’t be misled by your brother’s nonsense!" Ye Haochuan urgently explained, trying to save the little girl from going astray.
Yet, to his surprise, the little girl looked disappointed at his words and ran over to Tang Yucheng, ignoring Ye Haochuan.
Oh no, could my charisma be too overwhelming? Why even the little girl seems to be attracted?
Ye Haochuan laughed bitterly in his heart.
Fortunately, the meal was not spoiled by this little hiccup. The young girl soon forgot about being "rejected" by Ye Haochuan, and Tang Yucheng drowned his sorrows in food, having failed to talk to his idol.
After eating their fill, the group was just about to leave when three cultivators of no small accomplishment filed in and surrounded them.
A broad but hale man with white hair stood directly in front of Ye Haochuan, expressionlessly saying, "Third Young Master, the Family Head requests your return!"
Ye Haochuan recognized the group immediately; they were all people brought by Ye Hongmao.
In particular, this guy named He Peng in front of him was Ye Hongmao’s right-hand man.
It’s worth mentioning that although the Ye Family has been around for nearly a millennium, it has long since lost the glory of its ancestors. Especially before Ye Hongmao took over, it was on the verge of falling to a third-rate family in Jianyang City.
Ye Hongmao, having an excellent aptitude, broke through to the Void God stage and, with the help of some powerful allies, revitalized the Ye Family to become one of the top families in Jianyang City.
He Peng is one of those powerful aides Ye Hongmao gathered, a True Immortal Peak expert, ranking among the best in the Ye Family.
Ye Haochuan furrowed his brow. He and Ye Hongmao really had no bond, and normally Ye Hongmao wouldn’t interfere with his activities. Suddenly sending so many people to call him back clearly didn’t bode well.
"Could it be because of the Ye Hechan incident that Ye Hongmao wants to settle scores with you?" Tang Yucheng said with some concern.
"It’s not out of the question!" Ye Haochuan’s expression turned more serious.
He was reluctant to be taken back so passively, but he also understood that, although he and Tang Yucheng were strong, they would struggle against a True Immortal Peak like He Peng.
Moreover, the people He Peng brought along were also True Immortal mid to late-stage experts, and they had little confidence in escaping.
After pondering, Ye Haochuan was ultimately resigned to follow He Peng and his men towards the Jade Gate Tower, where Ye Hongmao was staying.
Not only him, but Tang Yucheng and Tang Xun’er couldn’t escape either.
He Peng, being Ye Hongmao’s right-hand man, would naturally understand Ye Hongmao’s intent. Tang Yucheng, as the instigator of the entire affair, would undoubtedly face corresponding punishment.
As for Tang Xun’er, she was just an add-on.
Now, Ye Haochuan was utterly convinced that Ye Hongmao harbored no good intentions.
His mind raced, seeking an opportunity to escape and avoid a desperate situation.
Just then, a sudden surge of murderous intent rushed towards him.
Without thinking, he quickly summoned a large black pot, blocking the direction of the attack.
Almost the instant the large black pot appeared, there was a "clang" sound, as a slender silver longsword clashed with it.
The attack from the silver sword was completely blocked by the large black pot, and the attacker seemed somewhat surprised, swinging the sword twice more, trying to slice through the pot.
Ye Haochuan then got a clear view of the attacker, a woman with an outstanding figure. Her face was covered, making it impossible to see her features.
"Wait a minute, isn’t she one of those two veiled women accompanying Baili Langjun?"
Ye Haochuan recognized her attire, feeling very puzzled.
He believed he had no grievances with this woman, so why was she attacking him, and with such lethal intent?
"Could it be because I offended Baili Langjun that this woman bore a grudge?" Ye Haochuan speculated.
According to Tang Yucheng’s description, Baili Langjun had many infatuated fangirls, and this woman, being at his side, was probably one of the top fangirls.
He had offended their male idol, so it seemed plausible that she would "punish" him out of spite!
Oh my, I’m completely wronged here!
Ye Haochuan lamented in his heart.
What frustrated him the most was that this woman’s cultivation was extraordinarily high, another True Immortal Peak expert, making him no match against her.
Damn, I definitely didn’t check the almanac before going out today, bumping into two True Immortal Peak experts in one go...
"Wait, there might be a turn of events!" Ye Haochuan suddenly felt a surge of hope.
