Chapter 13: I’m Really the Young Master

Tang Guoguo had just come out of her retreat when she saw the information on the forum. After understanding the situation, she felt a strong desire to kill Mu Yun.

That was the Dragon Patrol! To be taken away by the Dragon Patrol and still come out alive could only mean divine protection!

As Tang Guoguo spoke on the forum, chaos erupted once more.

"Goddess! It's Goddess Tang Guoguo!"

"If the goddess truly takes action, even Mu Yun will have a headache. Although she's just a marquis's daughter and can't inherit the title, let's not forget that the entire Buddhist Holy Land stands behind her!"

"The empire is powerful and looks down on these holy lands, but it won't provoke a holy land for a duke ranked thirtieth!"

Mu Yun stopped responding, and at the same time, Ye Senluo also closed the forum.

Just after he shut it down, he received a call from Tang Guoguo.

"Little Yazi, are you okay? I just came out!" Tang Guoguo said anxiously.

Ye Senluo smiled and reassured her, stating clearly that he was fine. After hanging up, he confidently walked into the school hospital!

Zhang Tiezhu lay on the hospital bed, his whole body wrapped in bandages. He stared blankly at the ceiling, devoid of spirit. Ever since Ye Senluo had been taken away, he had been in this state.

He knew that Ye Senluo was probably doomed; those taken by the Dragon Patrol usually met a tragic end. But Ye Senluo's predicament was because of him. If he hadn't accepted the life-and-death challenge from Chen Hao, none of this would have happened!

Regret and guilt filled Zhang Tiezhu's heart.

"You've done enough for Ye Senluo. It's his own fault for not knowing his place and provoking the powerful. It has nothing to do with you!" A pretty girl with delicate features sat by the bed, tidying up clothes as she spoke.

"It's my uselessness!" Zhang Tiezhu said lifelessly.

"I've told you it's not your fault!" Xia Dong'er suddenly stood up, her emotions flaring, "Zhang Tiezhu, I've told you before to stay away from Ye Senluo. Why didn't you listen? Have you considered that even if you survive this, you might end up crippled?"

"You could have entered the inner academy! Did you ever think about our future?" Zhang Tiezhu looked at the agitated Xia Dong'er, opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't say a word!

"Zhang Tiezhu, the medical fees are 120,000 federal coins, with the student discount at 100,000!" A doctor suddenly entered and said flatly.

"100,000?!" Xia Dong'er was taken aback!

"He's severely injured! Even if treated, he may never cultivate again! Of course, if you can't pay, I'll have to stop the treatment; you know resources are scarce these days!" the doctor explained.

"Even if he's treated… he can't cultivate anymore?" Xia Dong'er felt as if she had been struck hard, her delicate face turning pale.

Zhang Tiezhu stared blankly at the ceiling, despair filling his eyes. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke: "Dong'er, you should go!"

"What do you mean?" Xia Dong'er glared at Zhang Tiezhu.

Zhang Tiezhu forced a smile and said, "Let's not talk about the medical fees. Even if I get treated, I'll be a waste. Why should you stay with me?!"

"Zhang Tiezhu! Remember, I'm not like Li Yao! I won't leave you!" Xia Dong'er declared firmly!

"...Dong'er, I'm grateful that you're still with me under these circumstances, but you don't understand. Can't I be unreasonable?" Zhang Tiezhu sighed and then turned to the doctor, "Please stop the treatment!"

"Fine, I'll stop the treatment. After all, you probably can't afford the medical fees!" the doctor replied.

In this chaotic world, death was common, and everything was driven by profit; doctors were not so merciful!

As he spoke, the doctor began to disconnect Zhang Tiezhu's IV. Xia Dong'er panicked and rushed to stop him when suddenly a voice interrupted.

"Who says we can't pay the medical fees?" A young and handsome man entered; it was none other than Ye Senluo!

The life monitor, previously silent and lifeless, suddenly began to beep wildly. Zhang Tiezhu's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the newcomer.

"Brother! You're alive?!"

"What kind of talk is that? I'm as lucky as they come!" Ye Senluo scolded with a smile, glanced at Xia Dong'er, and walked straight to Zhang Tiezhu's side.

"Haha… my brother is still alive…" Zhang Tiezhu laughed, but the movement was too much, and his wound tore open, causing him to grimace in pain!

"Take care of your injuries. Once you're healed, I'll take you out for drinks," Ye Senluo said with a smile. The doctor, standing aside, poured cold water on their excitement: "I don't know about the medical fees…"

Ye Senluo pulled out a bank card and tossed it to the doctor, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, this card should have 200,000 in it. That should cover the medical fees!"

Zhang Tiezhu and Xia Dong'er both stared wide-eyed; they knew Ye Senluo's family background and wondered where he got the money!

The doctor took the card, checked it, and found indeed there were 200,000. He looked at Ye Senluo with a strange expression and asked, "Did Tang Guoguo give this to you?"

The forum had been buzzing for days, so he naturally knew about the relationship between Ye Senluo and Tang Guoguo!

Once the doctor said that, Zhang Tiezhu and Xia Dong'er began to understand where Ye Senluo had gotten the money! Ye Senluo didn't bother explaining and asked, "Can he be completely cured?"

The doctor hesitated and replied, "He's too severely injured, especially his dantian, which is slightly shattered. Cultivating again is impossible, but he can live as an ordinary person!"

Zhang Tiezhu's face turned ashen upon hearing this.

Ye Senluo frowned; if Zhang Tiezhu couldn't cultivate anymore, it would be even worse than killing him.

"Isn't there any other way?"

The doctor thought for a moment and said, "There is, but you won't have any means to obtain it. It's not something ordinary people can get!"

Upon hearing there was a way, Ye Senluo perked up: "What is it?"

"Evolution liquid! And it has to be the highest-grade evolution liquid; otherwise, it can't restore his dantian. His injuries are severe; not just his dantian, even his blood has lost its vitality!"

The glimmer of hope that had just appeared in Zhang Tiezhu's eyes dimmed again. Evolution liquid… let alone the high-grade one, he couldn't even manage to get the lowest grade!

"Yezi… forget it. If I can't cultivate, then I can't. Being an ordinary person is fine too!" Zhang Tiezhu said with a bitter smile!

"Hey! Don't say that! If it's just the evolution liquid, that's not a problem. I have plenty of it!" Ye Senluo said.

The doctor snorted with laughter.

"Yezi… don't say comforting words; I know the situation!" Zhang Tiezhu sighed softly!

"Damn, in this day and age, saying the truth is still not believed!" Ye Senluo said, sliding his finger over the nano-ring, and a small vial appeared in his hand.

"Here, test it to see if it's high-grade evolution liquid!"

The doctor's eyes widened. Instead of looking at the vial, he gazed at the black ring on Ye Senluo's hand and exclaimed, "This is… a nano-ring?"

"Of course!" Ye Senluo said proudly, "Didn't you notice? I'm also a second-generation rich kid?"

The doctor replied honestly, "I really didn't see that!"

Testing the evolution liquid was simple. The doctor took the device to check the concentration and exclaimed in surprise, "It's high-grade evolution liquid!" Ye Senluo shrugged, "See? I didn't lie to you!"

As he spoke, Ye Senluo pulled out three more vials and tossed them to the doctor, saying, "One vial isn't enough; there are three more. Don't hold back; drink it like it's a beverage!"

The doctor looked at Ye Senluo, who had the demeanor of a newly rich person, his expression completely bewildered!

Damn!

Four vials of high-grade evolution liquid!

He had never seen so much in all his years as a doctor! And he thought of it as a beverage?

Recalling the information about Ye Senluo's supposedly destitute background circulating on the forum, the doctor couldn't help but curse. With these four vials of priceless high-grade evolution liquid, plus the nano-ring worth millions, this man could outclass most nobles!

At first, he thought it was given by Tang Guoguo, but while she might provide evolution liquid, she couldn't possibly acquire a nano-ring that even she couldn't buy. This man was definitely not simple!

Zhang Tiezhu on the hospital bed was already in shock; even after the doctor had left, he still hadn't come to his senses!

"Yezi… where did you get this evolution liquid?"

Ye Senluo laughed and replied, "Because I'm the son of the War King Ye Fu Kua! Didn't you notice I share the same surname as the War King?"

"The War King once publicly stated that his son is very handsome!"

"Am I not handsome?"

"Scram! Just tell me the truth!" Zhang Tiezhu glared!

Damn!

Even when telling the truth, no one believed it!

Ye Senluo cleared his throat and said helplessly, "Tang Guoguo gave it to me! I'm still an ordinary person; she gave it to me to improve my body!"

"If you'd said that earlier, it would have been fine!" Zhang Tiezhu rolled his eyes irritably!

After chatting for a while, Ye Senluo saw that Xia Dong'er was still standing there and smiled before leaving!

"See, if it weren't for little Yezi this time, I'd be finished! That's what brothers are for; four vials of high-grade evolution liquid given without batting an eye!" Zhang Tiezhu said with a satisfied smile!

Xia Dong'er fell silent for a moment and said, "Tiezhu, I still think you should keep your distance from Ye Senluo. I just checked the forum; he had another conflict with a duke's son from the inner academy!"

As soon as Ye Senluo walked out of the hospital, his phone suddenly rang. He took it out to look, and his previously smiling face froze slightly.

"Li Yao."
