Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 2225: Chapter 2225: The Family Heirloom Cauldron

"Have you seen any woman riding a Golden-Winged Red Lion flying from here these past few days?" Ye Haochuan asked somewhat urgently.

"Yes, yes!"

The guard nodded repeatedly and answered, "There was an extremely beautiful woman who rode such a Golden-Winged Red Lion from here three days ago. She was very brutal; that day, a brother on duty accidentally looked at her for a second too long, and she gouged out his eyes!"

Upon finishing, the guard couldn’t help but shiver.

At this moment, he had already identified Ye Haochuan as someone with a background, and such people generally didn’t value the lives of lowly people like them. Considering his previous ridicule of Ye Haochuan, if Ye Haochuan decided to kill him in anger, the guard wouldn’t have a place to reason.

Damn it, he regretted speaking too much earlier, as one brings misfortune upon oneself.

Inwardly, the guard cursed his bad luck tirelessly.

To his surprise, upon hearing his answer, Ye Haochuan was not angry but rather pleased.

Although he hadn’t found Jiang Shuying yet, knowing her whereabouts was also good.

In the many Mansion Territories, Myriad Realms Mansion ranks among the weakest, so with Jiang Shuying’s current strength, she should be able to handle herself without issues. As long as there’s no danger, he can rest easy.

"Shuying seems temporarily fine, but Qingyin... that old witch mentioned she was taken by the Temple, what’s that about?" Ye Haochuan was filled with doubts again.

Now that the Poison Widow is dead, there’s no way to ask her to clarify these matters.

"I should ask Dark Moon Pavilion for help to search. Last time, they were able to quickly find information about Shuying and Qingyin, so their strength should be considerable!"

Ye Haochuan made up his mind and took out several hundred red crystals, handing them to the guard, saying, "Thank you!"

The guard dumbfoundedly received the red crystals, momentarily dazed.

Just moments ago, he was worried Ye Haochuan might kill him in anger, but unexpectedly, not only did Ye Haochuan thank him, but he also offered compensation.

Ye Haochuan was about to leave but suddenly remembered something, so he paused and said, "Right, please give this ring to the brother who had his eyes gouged out as compensation!"

After handing over a ring, Ye Haochuan turned to leave again.

The guard suddenly woke up and quickly called out to Ye Haochuan, "Master, please wait!"

"What’s the matter?" Ye Haochuan turned back, puzzled.

The guard pulled out a blackened iron pot and handed it to Ye Haochuan, saying, "I once said that if you could return here after jumping off, I would give my ancestral iron pot to you. Now that you’ve really returned, I must fulfill my promise!"

"This iron pot..." Ye Haochuan glanced at the pitch-black iron pot, his mouth twitching slightly.

Damn it, if you’re fulfilling a promise, shouldn’t you give something decent? What’s the meaning of giving a cooking pot? I’m not a househusband.

Ye Haochuan was about to complain but noticed a discreet pattern on the iron pot that suddenly caught his attention.

In the Cultivation World, patterns generally have corresponding functions, whether for Artifact Refining, Alchemy, or Array Patterns.

The pattern on this iron pot was something Ye Haochuan had never seen, but it gave him a somewhat remarkable feeling.

"Is this your ancestral item, and you’re willing to give it to me?" Ye Haochuan asked with a strange smile.

"Master, you might not be aware!"

The guard explained, "My ancestors left instructions saying this iron pot is extraordinary. However, I have dull eyes and can’t see what’s special about it. If I could borrow the master’s hand to unleash its power, it would also bring comfort to my ancestors!"

This statement was half-truth; aside from wanting to comfort his ancestors, he hoped to use the iron pot to build a connection with Ye Haochuan and gain benefits.

His ancestors may have indeed been extraordinary, but his generation had fallen to the extreme, or else he wouldn’t have ended up as a city guard. Without some means, he feared he’d spend his life there until old age.

Ye Haochuan was perceptive and could easily see through his intentions. After a moment of thought, he said, "I’ll take this iron pot, but I can’t let you suffer. If you’re willing, you can work at the Ye Family Commerce Association. If not, I can give you some red crystals in exchange."

"Ye Family Commerce Association?" The guard couldn’t help but gasp.

The Ye Family Commerce Association’s name has rocketed upwards within the Myriad Realms Mansion this year, growing into a towering mountain, causing many former noble families to look up in awe.

Although the guard expected Ye Haochuan had some background, he didn’t think he was from the Ye Family Commerce Association and certainly not an ordinary member.

"I want to go to the Ye Family Commerce Association!" After brief shock, the guard eagerly made his choice.

Strictly speaking, the guard had a civil servant’s nature, having the freedom to flaunt his power as if everything was excellent.

But that treatment is reserved for the private guards of powerful individuals; an ordinary gate guard like him has no status or income, living frugally every month. If he offended a powerful individual without backing, he could lose his life or be skinned alive.

In the association, capital is abundant, plus he can secure Ye Haochuan as his backing. Though he can’t run rampant, he wouldn’t have to live in constant fear anymore.

Ye Haochuan nodded lightly, not paying much attention, letting the guard finalize his tasks before heading to the Ye Family Commerce Association to find him.

The Ye Family already had a substantial foundation in Qianyun County, and it wasn’t difficult to find.

Leaving the city tower, Ye Haochuan first visited Dark Moon Pavilion, asking Boss Yao to help inquire about Fan Qingyin, and to simultaneously keep an eye on Jiang Shuying’s whereabouts.

After completing these tasks, Ye Haochuan found a guide and located the site of the Ye Family Commerce Association in Qianyun City.

This was a majestic residence, with a plaque bearing "Ye Residence" at the gate, shining bright, showcasing the family’s distinction.

"Ling Zhixing is indeed a great hand!" Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but feel moved again.

Back when he handed his family wealth to Ling Zhixing, it included only Li Family’s five million red crystals from Anxi County, along with some properties and mineral resources.

Though the Li Family had substantial heritage, it was merely considered a notable family in Anxi County. Ling Zhixing, within a year, transformed the foundations of an influential Anxi County family into a legendary presence in Myriad Realms Mansion, demonstrating real strength.

Ye Haochuan felt fortunate as he handed this legacy to Ling Zhixing for management; other individuals would not have achieved this scale.

All along, Ye Haochuan considered himself merely a visitor to the Immortal Realm, as he had no roots here. But now, seeing the name "Ye Residence," he suddenly felt a sense of home.

"What are you doing? Is Ye Residence a place you should visit? Hurry up and get lost!" The gate guard glared angrily at Ye Haochuan, who was standing in a daze at the entrance, and scolded.

Damn it, why are these gate guards all so arrogant and domineering?

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but smile wryly as he recalled the previous times he was blocked by gate guards.
