Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2498: Never Have I Seen Such Shameless People!
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
Ye Haochuan went to find Xu Xiuyuan, indeed with the intention of warning him.
According to Ye Haochuan’s usual temperament, if Xu Xiuyuan dared to wrong him like this, he would be sure to die.
But now the situation was different; Half-Mountain Residence had a cooperative relationship with the Xu Family, and Ye Haochuan couldn’t disregard Half-Mountain Residence and Shentu Fu because of his personal grievances.
So he hoped that, with his warning, Xu Xiuyuan would restrain himself a bit and not have any more crafty ideas.
If not, he couldn’t guarantee that he would remain this calm the next time.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.
These days were peaceful; Ye Haochuan hadn’t gone out, and Xu Xiuyuan hadn’t come to cause trouble.
On this day, Xu Wenrui emerged from seclusion.
His soul, bearing a beam of light as red as a ribbon, shot out from the Taichi Pearl and infused into his body.
Then Ye Haochuan noticed that Xu Wenrui’s cultivation surged up rapidly, propelling him directly to Void God Late Stage.
Every legacy contained a significant amount of energy, used to enhance the strength of the successor.
Evidently, the energy in the God Lord Realm cultivator’s legacy was quite impressive, allowing Xu Wenrui to advance an entire stage.
"Great, I’ve finally reached Void God Late Stage."
Seeing his cultivation soar once more, after just breaking through to Void God Mid-Stage not long ago, Xu Wenrui almost hugged Ye Haochuan in excitement.
Fortunately, Ye Haochuan slipped away quickly; creepy guys like that are the worst.
"Alright, hurry and tell Xu Yuanba that you can participate in the Twin Moon Secret Realm trial!"
Ye Haochuan swiftly changed the subject, seemingly fearing that Xu Wenrui might "get excited" again.
Sure enough, Xu Wenrui’s attention shifted, and he quickly ran off to find Xu Yuanba.
Ye Haochuan leisurely followed, soon finding Xu Yuanba in a solemn courtyard.
"Wenrui, didn’t I explain clearly? Why do you still want to go to the Twin Moon Secret Realm to die?"
Listening to Xu Wenrui’s request, Xu Yuanba put on a "concerned for you" expression.
"Patriarch, I’ve already broken through to Void God Late Stage. I should be qualified to enter the Twin Moon Secret Realm, right?" Xu Wenrui stated calmly and confidently.
After their last negotiation, Xu Wenrui clearly recognized that his uncle was deliberately suppressing him, so he no longer referred to him as "uncle."
"What, you broke through to Void God Late Stage? How is that possible?"
Xu Yuanba was a bit surprised and quickly spread out his Flower Energy to check Xu Wenrui’s cultivation.
"How could it be so fast? You just broke through to Void God Mid-Stage!"
Xu Yuanba’s mind was evidently struggling to settle down.
Could it be that Xu Wenrui’s talent really surpassed his own son’s?
This can’t be. Though Xu Wenrui has shown decent aptitude these years, he’s still nowhere near Xu Xiuyuan!
No, no matter what, this kid cannot be allowed to advance rapidly anymore, or Xiuyuan’s status might truly be shaken!
Xu Xiuyuan and Xu Wenrui were both representative figures of the next generation of the Xu Family; unless something unexpected happened, the next Family Head would likely be one of them.
Though Xu Yuanba didn’t wish to harm this nephew too much, everyone has selfish desires, and he certainly didn’t want his son to be subordinate.
Xu Yuanba’s mind rapidly turned, and soon he made a decision.
He massed his face, lightly snorted, and said, "Nonsense! Xu Wenrui, how can you be so selfish? Do you know how critical the ancestor’s situation is now? You only care about your cultivation and neglect the mission the family entrusted to you. By doing this, are you worthy of the ancestor? Are you worthy of my trust in you?"
A series of rhetorical questions left Xu Wenrui dumbfounded.
He originally thought that his breakthrough would leave Xu Yuanba speechless, but he didn’t expect Xu Yuanba to be so shameless as to use such matters to accuse him.
He instantly got furious and said angrily, "When did searching for the Deep Sea Divine Ganoderma Pill Abyss Ice become solely my task? Isn’t there anyone else in the Xu Family capable of finding it?"
"You..."
Xu Yuanba obviously didn’t expect Xu Wenrui to retort so confidently and couldn’t find a reason to counter for a moment.
At this moment, a soft but firm voice came from the doorway.
"Others have their own tasks. It’s because of my father’s trust in you that he entrusted such a significant task concerning the future of the Xu Family to you. If the Xu Family falls because of this, can you bear that responsibility?"
The speaker was naturally Xu Xiuyuan.
Xu Wenrui was so angry that his teeth itched; he snorted, "So should I be thanking you two for your trust then?"
Xu Xiuyuan smirked smugly and said, "Regardless, you didn’t complete this task, and you ought to be punished. Considering you’re my cousin, I can ask my father for leniency and only punish you with ten days of confinement!"
"You..."
Xu Wenrui was nearly bursting with anger.
Being confined for ten days didn’t seem like a major punishment.
However, the crux of the problem was that the Twin Moon Secret Realm was about to open in two to three days, and being confined for ten days meant he would miss the opportunity to enter the secret realm.
Even Xu Yuanba’s eyes lit up upon hearing Xu Xiuyuan’s suggestion.
It was a light punishment that achieved their purpose without leaving room for criticism, practically a perfect solution.
"Wenrui, you did go overboard this time. I think a few days of confinement would be good for reflecting upon your state of mind!" Xu Yuanba "advised sincerely."
Damn, I’ve never seen such brazenly shameless people in my life!
Ye Haochuan was almost ready to vomit from what he saw.
"Bullying someone so skillfully, I really have to admire them!" Ye Haochuan smacked his lips on the side.
"What do you mean, you brat?"
Xu Xiuyuan, still resentful toward Ye Haochuan, flared like a lit fuse after hearing those words.
"What do I mean? I truly admire the shamelessness... um, I mean, the selflessness of the two of you!" Ye Haochuan said with a faint smile.
Even with the thick skin of Xu Yuanba and his son, they couldn’t help but flush slightly at this.
"When does the Xu Family’s business concern you, an outsider?"
Xu Xiuyuan, clearly more shameless, said righteously, "Besides, if he did wrong, shouldn’t he be punished?"
"So according to you, if he finds the Deep Sea Divine Ganoderma Pill Abyss Ice, he’ll be eligible to enter the Twin Moon Secret Realm, right?" Ye Haochuan replied calmly.
"Of course!"
Xu Xiuyuan answered without thinking.
"Alright, I trust that the Patriarch of the Xu Family and the young master are people who keep their word!"
Ye Haochuan chuckled, casually throwing out a dozen or so blue ice crystals.
As soon as these ice crystals appeared, the surrounding temperature plummeted below freezing, making even the high-cultivation individuals feel a chill.
"Deep Sea Divine Ganoderma Pill Abyss Ice? How can there be so much?"
Xu Yuanba and Xu Xiuyuan felt their heads buzzing, stunned speechless!
