Invincible Little School Doctor

”That part is indeed true,” Long Xiaotian spoke gravely. ”Hellfire always had a bone to pick with the rapidly rising Long Group, putting it at the top of the Kill List. For the sake of the generous reward, the experts from Hellfire would spare no expense. A mere top-grade treasure, they could easily afford it.”

”Oh,” Ye Haochuan said.

Long Xiaotian returned to the main topic, ”The reason I rushed to Haishan this time was actually a trap that Elder Xiao and I had secretly set up. The goal was to lure the snake out of its hole—to first root out the traitor within our Ancient Martial Arts Sect, and then to rebuild Long Group, accumulate strength, and go after Hellfire to eradicate those who had attacked Long Group in the past.”

Ye Haochuan nodded and echoed, ”Right, to secure the outside, one must first secure the inside; this is the unerring principle.”

Long Xiaotian hummed in agreement, and continued, ”My cultivation has now reached a bottleneck and is difficult to advance an inch. Thus, the long-cherished wish to rebuild Long Group and restore its former glory, ultimately, will fall upon you.”

”Fall upon me?” Ye Haochuan was stunned.

”Indeed,” Long Xiaotian said somberly. ”Holy Hand was a medical genius that I personally cultivated in the past. Originally, I had him pursue both medical and martial paths, but unfortunately, he was not particularly dedicated to the Martial Arts Path, feeling that killing was too extreme and could affect the Medical Path. Since he has chosen you to inherit his mantle, he must have seen something exceptional in you...”

Hearing this, Ye Haochuan felt somewhat embarrassed and chuckled, ”I thought I hid it very deep, but it seems I still couldn’t hide my edge.”

Long Xiaotian gave a smile and said, ”Judging from your recent performance, you are commendable, especially your decisiveness in killing, neat and tidy, not indecisive like Holy Hand, who instead ended up losing his own life.”

Ye Haochuan straightened up proudly and snorted, ”For enemies who oppose me, I have only one word for them, death! Even if I encounter them in the toilet, I would still drown them in the toilet bowl!”

”Exactly, that’s the kind of dominance one should have!”

Long Xiaotian’s expression was full of praise as he said, ”Actually, I have long suspected that a disciple from our side in Haishan was colluding with a disciple from Hellfire. So, I specially went through Elder Xiao to provide a list of suspicious disciples and asked him to have someone keep an eye on them in secret. As it turns out, hard work pays off; Li Ruonan is highly suspect...”

Only then did Ye Haochuan understand why Li Ruonan was caught by Long Xiaotian on the spot as soon as she fled, it turned out she had been watched all along.

”Alright, I won’t stay here long. I will continue the investigation in secret, but if there is anything you need to cooperate with, I will let you know. In short, before your strength becomes formidable, it’s better not to expose our relationship too early.”

With that, Long Xiaotian put the black cloak back over his head, once again assuming a mysterious air.

Ye Haochuan nodded, indicating he understood.

After glancing at An Li, who was hanging on by a thread, Long Xiaotian asked, ”What will you do with this woman?”

”This woman still has a conscience; I’ll try my best to save her. Alas, there really aren’t many people in this world like me, who heal the sick and save lives,” Ye Haochuan shamelessly said.

Long Xiaotian laughed and scolded, ”What kind of tricks are you up to, kid? I know them all. You’ve taken a fancy to her, haven’t you?”
