Invincible Little School Doctor-Chapter 1921: Isn’t This World Way Too Unfair?
Ye Haochuan originally thought he was doomed, but the sudden turn of events left him somewhat bewildered.
Upon closer inspection, he instantly understood the situation, because the token held by the black-clad cultivator was engraved with the words "Half-Mountain Residence."
Thinking about it, given that mysterious man’s power, he must have some reputation in the Immortal Realm, so it was only natural for these people to be afraid.
At that thought, a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Ye Haochuan’s heart.
"May I ask, where did you obtain this token?" Commander Jia’s attitude took a complete 180-degree turn, asking somewhat obsequiously.
Ye Haochuan guessed correctly; this token carried immense power and influence, but this background wasn’t tied to that handsome man, rather to the words "Half-Mountain Residence."
The prestige of Half-Mountain Residence isn’t something ordinary people can comprehend. Not to mention Commander Jia alone, even the forces behind them are seen as insignificant as ants to Half-Mountain Residence.
"Oh, this token was given to me by a senior!" Ye Haochuan wouldn’t miss such a chance to save his life, his eyes rolled as he continued, "The senior said he wanted to take me as a disciple, and guided me on how to ascend the Ascension Ladder to find him here!"
The talk of disciple acceptance was naturally something Ye Haochuan made up, fearing that just a mention of guidance might not be enough to make Commander Jia and the others cautious, hence the embellishment.
He deeply regretted not asking for the name of that handsome man back then, thinking it would be more convincing if he could mention it.
"Take you as a disciple? No wonder the young master has such cultivation, able to pass the test and come here..." Commander Jia had an expression of sudden realization, without the slightest doubt.
In his view, having a super senior as a guide and passing the test under this senior was nothing out of the ordinary.
They were quite used to seeing super experts from the Lower Realm come to find successors, and naturally they wouldn’t doubt it.
Ye Haochuan was finally at ease; his life was considered saved when Commander Jia’s address turned into "young master."
However, he suddenly pulled a long face and sighed, "Alas, it’s a pity that my fate is destined to end here, without the chance to become that senior’s successor!"
Upon hearing this, Commander Jia was instantly taken aback, breaking into a cold sweat, bowing and saying, "Young master, you must be joking. You are from Half-Mountain Residence; who would dare disrespect you?"
"No one would dare disrespect me?" Ye Haochuan feigned confusion, pointing at the gray-clad cultivator on the ground, "Yet I was captured by this guy and nearly died several times just moments ago!"
The gray-clad cultivator, clearly aware of the might of Half-Mountain Residence, upon hearing Ye Haochuan’s words, his knees buckled, falling directly to the ground, kowtowing and pleading, "Mercy, young master, my eyes did not recognize Mount Tai. Please do not hold a grudge against a petty person and spare me this time!"
Now you’re scared? Weren’t you very arrogant just now?
Ye Haochuan murmured inwardly.
This guy had been provoking him all the way, and nearly killed him; he wouldn’t let this guy off easily.
"My life is worthless, how could I have the authority to spare yours?" Ye Haochuan laughed bitterly, then thoughtfully said, "I wonder what reaction that senior would have if he knew about this?"
Upon hearing this, Commander Jia understood Ye Haochuan’s intention in an instant. But he thought it fair; if he were Ye Haochuan, he wouldn’t let them off so easily either.
A glint of dark cruelty flashed in his eyes; without knowing when he had drawn a small sword, he stabbed the gray-clad cultivator’s heart.
"Commander Jia, you..." The gray-clad cultivator clearly hadn’t anticipated Commander Jia would suddenly betray him, disbelief written all over his face, dying without peace.
After killing one of his underlings, Commander Jia seemed as indifferent as slaughtering a pig.
Then, with a face full of smiles, he respectfully said to Ye Haochuan, "Young master, this guy disrespected you and has been slain by me. Please calm your anger!"
Wow, what a vicious fellow!
Ye Haochuan frowned a bit, sighing inwardly.
He indeed didn’t intend to spare this gray-clad cultivator, but didn’t expect Commander Jia to be so decisive.
Commander Jia was merely afraid Ye Haochuan would really bring that senior from Half-Mountain Residence to trouble him, hence letting the gray-clad cultivator be the scapegoat.
At this point, even if Ye Haochuan wanted to hold on, there was no excuse to do so.
Thinking about it, Commander Jia was also one of his enemies, but he dared not hope for Commander Jia to pay the price; if he infuriated him, he’d kill him first and then flee, Ye Haochuan would lose greatly.
Given the cruelty Commander Jia displayed just now, this possibility seemed high.
"Forget it, seeing your sincerity, I’ll have a word with the senior," Ye Haochuan said with interest while looking at Commander Jia, his palm involuntarily opened.
Commander Jia respectfully placed the Half-Mountain Residence token and Ye Haochuan’s ring into his hand, along with the gray-clad cultivator’s ring as an apology.
The entire possessions of an Immortal Transformation Expert are no small fortune.
Ye Haochuan didn’t dare hope for Commander Jia, such a ruthless person, to bleed heavily; if angered, he might secretly use some means to hire someone to kill him, then he’d lose greatly.
With this thought, Ye Haochuan didn’t want to dwell on it and asked Commander Jia for the nearest town, then left.
"What the heck, is this really an Immortal Transformation Realm expert’s ring? Are you sure it’s not a beggar’s?" Not far away, Ye Haochuan opened the gray-clad cultivator’s ring and was infuriated by what he saw.
The ring contained no good items, with just one frequently used weapon, everything else was trash.
Little did he know, this gray-clad cultivator was actually a gambler who lost all the money he earned. There wasn’t any extra wealth to offer.
However, the gray-clad cultivator’s giant sword, which resembled a coffin lid, seemed quite extraordinary and probably worth a sum, barely compensating Ye Haochuan’s loss.
Ye Haochuan soon arrived at the town Commander Jia mentioned, although it was called a town, it was more like a small county in scale.
Ye Haochuan was astonished to find that everyone here had cultivation above the Nascent Soul Stage, even the young kids were no exception.
Oh my gosh, isn’t this too overpowered?
Ye Haochuan sighed inwardly.
Down below, people struggle immensely to reach Nascent Soul, yet here everyone is already at that stage? Can anyone survive this?
But soon enough, Ye Haochuan came to understand.
This world was peculiar; Nascent Soul stage cultivators were barely different from ordinary people. Anyone below Nascent Soul might be considered crippled in the Lower Realm.
Ye Haochuan wandered around town, suddenly feeling hungry, so he planned to buy something to eat. To his surprise, he discovered that as soon as he took out his spirit crystals, all the spiritual energy vanished, turning into useless glass shards.
That’s when he noticed that everyone around him was using red crystals for transactions.
What the heck, this world is too damn unfair, isn’t it?
Ye Haochuan thought he might cry.
