Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2527: Shouldn’t the Right Attitude Be Shown?
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
When Ye Haochuan spoke, everyone froze.
"Kid, what do you mean?"
Xu Yuanba’s face, which had just calmed down, grew dark again.
"Do you have amnesia?"
Ye Haochuan sneered, "Earlier you wanted to beat and kill me. Why should I help your ancestor with treatment?"
"Humph, if you don’t want to die, keep up with the stubborn talk!" Xu Yuanba snorted coldly.
"If you really have skills, go ahead and make a move!"
Ye Haochuan looked down on Xu Yuanba, laughing lightly, "If you kill me, then your ancestor... no, your entire Xu Family will have to be buried with me!"
"You..."
Xu Yuanba was momentarily speechless, holding his breath with no reason to let it out.
Ye Haochuan was right; those medicinal cultivators with Temple backgrounds wouldn’t dare to treat the ancestor. Right now, he could only rely on Ye Haochuan.
Moreover, Ye Haochuan was the key to recovering the Hua Clan’s ancestor. If they killed him, they wouldn’t be able to rely on the Hua Clan’s strength to resist the Temple’s erosion.
"What do you want?"
Realizing the situation, Xu Yuanba asked, slumping in his chair like a defeated rooster.
Ye Haochuan was silent, pondering before walking over to a chair beside him and sitting down calmly.
Seeing this, Baili Jin couldn’t help but persuade, "Little Ye, it’s true Patriarch Xu’s actions were somewhat overboard just now, but the safety of our three clans hinges on the Xu Family ancestor. Please lend us your aid!"
Perhaps because of earlier events, Baili Jin felt some guilt towards Ye Haochuan and presented himself humbly.
"Yes!"
Geng Tianhe echoed, "As long as we can save the Xu Family ancestor, our three families are willing to greatly compensate you for earlier events."
Honestly, Ye Haochuan held resentment towards Baili Jin and Geng Tianhe.
For their family’s benefits, they had no choice but to give up on Ye Haochuan’s issues, which might seem like the right choice to outsiders.
But as the person involved, Ye Haochuan saw the indifference in their eyes.
However, since the other party had extended an olive branch, it seemed inappropriate for Ye Haochuan not to respond.
Not to mention, Baili Jin, his future father-in-law, was someone he should build a good relationship with.
"I am not someone unaware of the situation, but shouldn’t one have the proper attitude when seeking medical help and advice? I may be weak in strength, but I’m not so lowly as to beg for help with my face turned up, right?"
Ye Haochuan coldly stared at Xu Yuanba and lightly snorted.
Baili Jin and Geng Tianhe heard this and fell silent, turning their gaze to Xu Yuanba.
Ye Haochuan saying he begged for help was indeed exaggerated, but his goal was clear: to get Xu Yuanba to show the right attitude.
Xu Yuanba frowned slightly, annoyed at a Void God Cultivator showing off in front of him, yet knowing this was not the time for stubbornness.
He stabilized his emotions, trying to sound as pleasant as possible, "Indeed, I was impulsive earlier. Please, Junior Brother Ye, don’t take offense. Treating the ancestor is of great importance. Once successful, the Xu Family will remember this kindness for generations."
After those words, the whole hall fell into a deathly silence.
Xu Yuanba had apparently conceded, the mighty Xu Family head, a God Lord Realm master, submitting to a Void God junior—a truly unbelievable event.
Everyone turned their eyes to Ye Haochuan, waiting for his response.
But Ye Haochuan remained unresponsive, sitting there quietly as if he hadn’t heard.
Xu Yuanba’s face grew ugly, as Ye Haochuan’s reaction clearly showed he deemed Xu Yuanba’s sincerity insufficient.
Even Baili Jin and Geng Tianhe did not try to persuade him further, seeing Xu Yuanba’s lackluster apology as too dismissive.
Xu Yuanba gritted his teeth, standing up straight, and solemnly bowed, declaring loudly, "I, Xu Yuanba, ask Alchemist Ye for help!"
From "Junior Brother Ye" to "Alchemist Ye," it might seem like just a change in title, but it was enough to show that Xu Yuanba was placing Ye Haochuan on an equal footing.
Everyone present couldn’t help but gasp.
The head of the Xu Family had actually bowed to Ye Haochuan, displaying an act of supplication.
Since becoming head, Xu Yuanba had never bowed to anyone. Doing so in his role represented the entire Xu Family bowing to Ye Haochuan.
The Xu Family cultivators witnessing this were now glaring angrily at Ye Haochuan, seemingly wanting to swallow him alive.
Yet Ye Haochuan seemed unaware of the oddity, remaining calmly silent, eyes closed.
"That damned kid, does he want me to kneel?"
Xu Yuanba’s mouth twitched as his heart raced at the thought.
Forcing Ye Haochuan was clearly impossible now; without force, he had to yield.
But if he really knelt, his dignity would plummet below acceptable limits, leaving him unable to stand firm in the three clans and severely damaging his prestige within the Xu Family.
Yet if he didn’t kneel, what then? Simply watch the ancestral ancestor pass away and the Xu Family get swallowed by the Temple?
"Damn, once this is over, see how I deal with you!"
Xu Yuanba bit his lip, deciding to first save the Xu Family ancestor.
Seeing Xu Yuanba preparing to kneel, the Xu Family members paled, rushing to stop him.
At this moment, Ye Haochuan spoke, "I have felt the sincerity of Patriarch Xu. However, I have one more condition!"
Xu Yuanba paused, then released a deep breath, halting his attempt to kneel, "Alchemist Ye, please speak. As long as I can achieve it, I will do my utmost."
At this moment, he felt truly reprieved.
As long as he wasn’t made to kneel publicly, anything else was negotiable!
"You can certainly do it, for it’s just a matter of your word!"
Ye Haochuan chuckled softly, speaking deliberately, "I want you to make Xu Wenrui the next head of the Xu Family!"
"What?"
Everyone, including Xu Wenrui quietly standing aside, was dumbfounded at that moment.
He had never expressed a desire to become head; why was Ye Haochuan suddenly demanding this?
"You surnamed Ye, don’t push too far!"
A nearby elder of the Xu Family couldn’t hold back and cursed.
As soon as he spoke, others echoed, "Who we appoint as head in our Xu Family is none of your business! The head giving you face should be enough; don’t overstep your bounds!"
The hall was chaotic, echoes of rebukes against Ye Haochuan’s excessive demands.
Even Shentu Fu was signaling to Ye Haochuan to retract this request.
Yet, Ye Haochuan was unresponsive, simply staring at Xu Yuanba.
Xu Yuanba’s forehead bulged with veins, obviously seething, but for the sake of the ancestor, he tried to speak gently, "This is the Xu Family’s affair; isn’t Alchemist Ye overstepping?"
