Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2523: Are You Here to Settle Accounts with Me?

This time, Ye Haochuan has indeed gained quite a bounty in terms of Divine Charm.

However, what he obtained from Ju Yuqu alone amounted to no less than thirty pieces; coupled with what he had acquired previously, he now had nearly forty pieces of Divine Charm in hand.

Eager to advance, Ye Haochuan swallowed over twenty pieces, easily breaking through to the Void God Late Stage.

In just one night, he ascended two levels—no wonder the young talents of the three major clans were so eager for Divine Charm, as it made cultivation seem remarkably easy!

However, the remaining dozen or so pieces were clearly insufficient to elevate him to the Void God Peak, given the peculiar nature of the Creation Dragon Origin Technique; without fifty or sixty pieces of Divine Charm at this stage, reaching it was impossible.

Ye Haochuan hesitated for a while, eventually deciding to split these greedy Divine Charms into two parts, giving them respectively to Ju Yuqu and Xu Wenrui.

Ju Yuqu appeared to have already consumed quite a bit of Divine Charm and was extremely close to the Demi-God Realm, successfully advancing after swallowing five or six pieces.

This, for Ye Haochuan, unequivocally boosted his overall strength considerably.

Xu Wenrui was slightly inferior, but he too was only a step away from the Demi-God Realm.

If he were to cultivate step by step, crossing this threshold might take several years or even decades of accumulation.

But now, it’s different—Ye Haochuan essentially brought the Twin Moon Secret Realm home; this Golden Toad produces two or three pieces of Divine Charm every few days it sleeps.

Xu Wenrui only needs to wait until the next time the Golden Toad "wakes up to work," and advancing to the Demi-God Realm will be a breeze.

Yet, the most vexed was Ye Haochuan, for the amount of Divine Charm required to elevate his boundary was immense, and it seemed he had to wait several months to achieve his aspirations.

After organizing the rewards of this Twin Moon Secret Realm journey, Ye Haochuan finally departed Myriad Realms Mansion with Xu Wenrui, teleporting back to White Tiger City.

White Tiger City remained bustling, but the guards of the Xu Family noticeably increased, especially outside the Teleportation Hall, where layers of defense surrounded it.

Anyone exiting the Teleportation Hall had to undergo the most rigorous scrutiny before being allowed to pass.

"What has happened?"

As the third young master of the Xu Family, Xu Wenrui naturally did not have to undergo inspection; he pulled aside a commander and asked seriously.

The commander respectfully replied, "It seems the Temple has made some new moves; the family head instructed us to be on high alert so as not to be caught off guard."

"It seems the matter of the Twin Moon Secret Realm made them realize a crisis. This Xu Yuanba isn’t too foolish after all!" Ye Haochuan remarked with a smile beside him.

"Where did this insolent brat come from, daring to insult the family head of the Xu Family?"

The commander, hearing this, immediately became furious.

Ye Haochuan, however, ignored him and walked straight toward the Xu Residence.

As for the commander, under Xu Wenrui’s reprimand, he dared not pursue the matter further.

"Why only the Void God Late Stage?"

A figure suddenly appeared behind Ye Haochuan, issuing a disappointed sigh.

Ye Haochuan didn’t need to turn around to recognize that the voice undoubtedly belonged to Shentu Fu.

"I say, do you not know how perilous the Twin Moon Secret Realm journey was this time? I’m already quite remarkable for advancing to this level, okay?" Ye Haochuan replied peevishly.

"Speaking of which, it was indeed exceptionally dangerous!"

Shentu Fu suddenly chuckled awkwardly, saying, "You, kid, are quite impressive, unexpectedly rallying and rescuing both Xu Xiuyuan and Baili Lianqin! This time, the Xu Family and Baili Family owe a significant debt to our Half-Mountain Residence!"

Ye Haochuan had long been accustomed to Shentu Fu’s sudden changes.

"What do you mean by owing Half-Mountain Residence? It’s clearly owing me!"

Ye Haochuan retorted, pouting, "I earned this from risking my life, don’t think you can sweep up all the credit with a single sentence."

"Look at how smug you are; if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have even been able to enter the Twin Moon Secret Realm, okay?"

Shentu Fu replied crossly, "Alright, let’s go; the higher-ups of the three major clans are waiting for you!"

"The higher-ups of the three major clans? Why are they waiting for me? Could it be they want to reward me?" Ye Haochuan’s eyes suddenly lit up.

The three major clans, though not as illustrious as the Temple, were still established old clans of the Immortal Realm and could surely offer exceedingly rich rewards.

"Don’t bother thinking about rewards from the Geng Family; after all, everyone from the Geng Family in there died. As for the Xu Family and Baili Family, you can certainly try to win something!"

Shentu Fu chuckled, "I heard that you’ve already won the girl from the Baili Family; with the status of a prospective son-in-law, I think Baili Jin won’t be stingy with his rewards for you!"

Ye Haochuan suddenly froze, wondering how Shentu Fu knew.

Could it be that Chen Qiwen had impatiently announced it already?

Before he could ask, Shentu Fu had already escorted him and Xu Wenrui to the main hall of the Xu Family.

Atop the grand and magnificent hall, Xu Wenrui wore a somber expression, seated on a millennium warm jade chair at the highest rank, flanked by a group of Xu Family Elders.

To the left, on the sub-seating, sat Lord Baili Jin on the ten-thousand-year immortal sandalwood chair, while other members of the Baili Family stood respectfully behind him.

The right immortal sandalwood chair was desolately empty, with Geng Family members obediently standing behind it.

Baili Jin, upon seeing Ye Haochuan arrive, immediately furrowed his brows, speaking coldly, "I just found out today that the true culprit behind Qin’er’s murder is you, kid."

Nani, is this going to be a settling accounts session with little old me?

Ye Haochuan immediately broke into a cold sweat, hastily explaining, "Sect Master Wan killed himself; it had nothing to do with me!"

"Hmph, if it weren’t for you, would she have committed suicide?"

Baili Jin snorted coldly, with an aura as sharp as a blade coursing towards Ye Haochuan, pressing him to breathe with some difficulty.

Ye Haochuan’s heart sank to rock bottom.

Though Wan Qin’s soul had awakened, this Baili Jin had deep affections for Wan Qin. It wasn’t impossible for him to kill Ye Haochuan out of rage for causing his beloved’s demise.

Ridiculous that I was just now hoping for rich rewards from Lord Baili Lang—how naive!

"Calm your anger, Lord Lang. I don’t know what happened, but surely there must be some misunderstanding!"

Shentu Fu quickly moved forward to shield Ye Haochuan from the pressure and chatted persuasively.

With developments reaching this, he too was bewildered; where was the promised gratitude for saving the maiden, instead instantly turning into animosity?

"Stand aside; this is none of your business!"

Baili Jin grunted and, with a sweep of his sleeve, pushed Shentu Fu back several steps.

Shentu Fu’s face turned ashen, yet he was helpless; compared to Lord Baili Lang, his strength was exceedingly inferior.

"I implore Lord Lang, in light of this boy saving your daughter, to discuss matters peacefully!"

Unable to withstand, Shentu Fu could only bring up Chen Qiwen.

"Saved my daughter? If it weren’t for Lianqin misleading me, this named Ye would have died countless times!"

Baili Jin’s eyes widened, muttering moodily.

These days, he’d been living in agony, unable to make any headway in restoring Wan Qin’s life and unable to fulfill desires for avenging her either.

This torment had burdened him for far too long; it was time to vent at last.
