Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 2229: Chapter 2229: Shared?

As the saying goes, you don’t hit a smiling face with your fist. Ye Haochuan had no choice but to repeat the news about Rui’er’s disappearance. He only said that Rui’er had thrown a tantrum and stormed off, and didn’t mention that she’d been taken hostage.

Zhu Shen chuckled when he heard this and said readily, "So you just want to find Miss Rui’er’s whereabouts? Piece of cake!"

He immediately called over Afeng by his side and instructed him to go look around.

With Zhu Shen being this enthusiastic, Ye Haochuan couldn’t very well turn him down.

Besides, Zhu Shen counted as the Local Gang around here. Having his people feel out the other side’s background might actually be even better.

Since the other party wanted to meet him, they probably wouldn’t do anything to Rui’er that easily.

Of course, he was also planning to find a chance to scout around first with his Perspective Eyes.

"Brother Ye, you really picked the right day to come. Guilang Workshop’s got something fun going on today!" Zhu Shen said to Ye Haochuan very warmly.

"What kind of fun could make even Young Master Zhu call it that?" Ye Haochuan forced a smile.

Zhu Shen laughed loudly and said, "Today at Guilang Workshop, a woman is being put up for auction."

"That kind of thing’s not exactly rare, right?" Ye Haochuan said dismissively.

In the Immortal Realm, buying and selling people wasn’t against the law at all. Especially some women who had a bit of looks but no background; they were often bought and sold as playthings.

He didn’t understand why Zhu Shen would be clicking his tongue in wonder over something like this.

"Auctioning off a woman is nothing, but the one on sale today is said to be a once-in-ten-thousand absolute stunner. Guilang Workshop even issued a guarantee that if anyone can find a woman in Qianyun City more beautiful than her, they’re willing to compensate double the auction price." Zhu Shen said, eyebrows dancing.

"An absolute stunner? Could it be Rui’er?" Ye Haochuan’s brows knit sharply, his face darkening.

Rui’er had just gone missing, and now they were about to auction off an absolute beauty here. Could there really be coincidences this neat in the world?

If it really was Rui’er, then wouldn’t the ones who grabbed her be Guilang Workshop’s people, or rather, the Gu Family’s people?

But if so, what were they doing this for?

Ye Haochuan was full of doubts. He couldn’t be bothered hiding the secret of his Perspective Eyes anymore and swept his gaze around the area.

Zhu Shen saw golden light suddenly flash in Ye Haochuan’s eyes and was slightly stunned. He didn’t cry out, but in his heart he was already frantically searching for the secret behind Ye Haochuan’s eyes.

Ye Haochuan swept around in a circle and finally locked his gaze on a room in the very back.

None of the surrounding private rooms had Rui’er’s trace. And that last private room—his Perspective Eyes actually couldn’t see through it. This instantly gave Ye Haochuan a bad feeling.

Though he hadn’t truly seen Rui’er inside the room, since Rui’er had come here, by process of elimination she had to be in that room.

And on the door outside that room hung a sign saying "No Admittance." Clearly, it was a room for Guilang Workshop’s internal staff.

Everything seemed to be pointing to Rui’er indeed being snatched by Guilang Workshop.

"Gu Family, I’m not done with you bastards!" Ye Haochuan snorted coldly in his heart, and without bothering to say anything more to Zhu Shen, he was about to charge toward that room.

"Brother Ye, what are you doing?" Sensing the killing intent radiating off Ye Haochuan, Zhu Shen’s heart jolted. He hurriedly grabbed Ye Haochuan and said, "This place is Gu Family turf, experts everywhere. Don’t be reckless!"

"I can’t worry about that now..." Ye Haochuan was anxious and in no mood to listen. He was about to make a move on the spot.

Just then, the door to that mysterious room suddenly opened, and a graceful, curvy beauty bound in iron chains was shoved out.

Ye Haochuan froze. That woman wasn’t Rui’er, but another acquaintance of his—Le Yao.

"How is it her?" Ye Haochuan was filled with doubt.

Back then, he’d planned to go to Anxi County with Le Yao. But after she killed Gu Tian, she suddenly changed her mind and left on her own.

Before leaving, she’d even told Ye Haochuan about that treasure trove hiding the Manual of Returning to the Origin of Wondrous Flowers. In a way, she’d done him a favor.

Yet what was going on now? How had she suddenly been captured and put up for auction?

"Wait, if Rui’er isn’t in there, then where is she?" Ye Haochuan snapped back to his senses, frowning in confusion.

Under his Perspective Eyes, he’d already swept through every room in Guilang Workshop. Now even the one mysterious room that could block his sight had been ruled out—where else could Rui’er be?

Ye Haochuan’s heart tightened, and he hurriedly expanded his Perspective range.

Finally, at the entrance of Guilang Workshop, he spotted Rui’er’s figure.

Rui’er was walking alone toward Guilang Workshop at this moment, her expression calm, with not the slightest sign of being coerced.

"What trick is this girl playing?" Ye Haochuan’s heart sank. He decided he’d wait for her to come in and then grill her properly.

Anyway, Rui’er was safe, so his heart could finally come down a bit.

He turned his head again and looked from afar at Le Yao, whose face was full of "life-is-not-worth-living." A plan formed in his mind: "No matter what, she’s an acquaintance, and she did help me get the Manual of Returning to the Origin of Wondrous Flowers. Now that she’s in trouble, I can’t just let her be bought and ravaged by some other guy."

By now, Le Yao had already been escorted onto the stone platform in the center of the hall. From the circle of private rooms above, someone suddenly let out a hearty voice: "She really is a peerless beauty. This woman, I, Bao Shixing, have taken a fancy to her!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another private room rang out with a voice: "Bao Baidian, aren’t you afraid you’ll bite your tongue saying crap like that? You say you fancy her, and that means she’s yours?"

Bao Shixing instantly flew into a rage at that and shouted, "Gou Heiya, if you dare call me Bao Baidian again, believe it or not, I’ll smash every last one of those black teeth of yours!"

"Yo, haven’t seen you in a few days and you’ve grown some balls, Bao Baidian. Did some noble young master take a liking to your snow-white ass and decide to be your backer?"

"Gou Heiya, I’ll fight you to the death..."

Listening quietly to this spit-slinging match, Ye Haochuan only felt that these two were really a pair of oddballs.

He also now realized that this hall was clearly an auction house. Only, unlike other auction houses, all the bidders here sat inside private rooms, unable to see each other’s faces.

"What’s this? Brother Ye, you got your eye on that chick too?" Seeing Ye Haochuan staring at Le Yao the whole time, Zhu Shen suddenly teased.

Ye Haochuan was startled, then smiled and said, "With a woman this gorgeous, any normal man would probably be tempted, right?"

"Brother Ye is straightforward!" Zhu Shen laughed loudly. "You can’t bid from here. Come, to my private room. Today I’ll buy this woman and share her with you!"

Share her? Wouldn’t that be a threesome?

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help feeling weird inside.

He had done threesomes and even group sessions with Xiao Haimei, Han Xue’er and the others, but that was him alone handling multiple women. A two-men-one-woman setup—he really wasn’t sure he could accept that.
