Hearing Gu Ye's words, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Tang San suspiciously. "You came here for treatment?"

"Uh..." Tang San scratched his head awkwardly.

There was no way he could tell Zhu Zhuqing why he had come here.

After all, it concerned a man's dignity. Someone as prideful as Tang San could never say it aloud.

"What about you, Zhu Zhuqing? Why are you with him?" Tang San reacted quickly. Looking at Gu Ye, he wanted to know what relationship Zhu Zhuqing had with him, why Gu Ye was helping her like this, and what exactly Martial Soul Blood was. Zhu Zhuqing did not answer, instead looking at Gu Ye.

She seemed to be asking Gu Ye whether she could tell others about Martial Soul Blood.

But Gu Ye shook his head and said with a light smile, "Tang San, Zhuqing is merely one of my patients. She was injured a few days ago, so I treated her and helped her out a little. It's that simple, isn't it, Zhuqing?" Gu Ye smiled at Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

Indeed, her relationship with Gu Ye was that simple.

While Gu Ye, Tang San, and Zhu Zhuqing were chatting in the Medical Hall, Dai Mubai, who had fled back to Shrek Academy in a sorry state to fetch reinforcements, had already arrived outside the Medical Hall with them.

When Dai Mubai returned to Shrek Academy, he immediately told Flender that Gu Ye had beaten him up indiscriminately, that Gu Ye had bewitched Zhu Zhuqing and might have done something beastly to her, and that he might even pose a threat to Tang San.

Flender had heard of Gu Ye's reputation as a physician and did not quite believe it at first. But when he saw Dai Mubai's injuries and the expression on his face that did not seem fake, he believed him.

Thus, he brought Dai Mubai and hurried toward Suotuo City.

As it happened, Zhao Wuji, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were also there at the time. After hearing Flender's words, they followed along as well.

Ning Rongrong came because she naturally did not believe Dai Mubai's words. In her eyes, Gu Ye was gentle, handsome, and polite, so there was no way he could do the things Dai Mubai had claimed.

Xiao Wu came because Dai Mubai said Tang San might have been in trouble, and she followed out of concern.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar came purely to watch the excitement. They were also curious about the stunning beauty Zhu Zhuqing, and they had heard of Gu Ye's reputation as a physician, so they took the chance to come and find out for themselves.

"Mubai, are you sure what you said is true?" Once they arrived outside the Medical Hall, Zhao Wuji asked again skeptically.

"Teacher Zhao, I saw it with my own eyes. That Gu Ye was holding Zhuqing on the bed, and Zhuqing was unconscious in his arms. Her face was even..." Dai Mubai was full of indignation. Though he did not continue, everyone understood what he meant.

"Hmph, I don't believe you at all. I came to see Gu Ye today too, and I even met Zhuqing then. Zhuqing and Gu Ye have known each other for a long time. How could Gu Ye possibly harm Zhuqing? I think you're just jealous of him, Dai Mubai, and making up nonsense." Ning Rongrong immediately snapped at Dai Mubai.

"Indeed. From what I know, Gu Ye does not seem like that kind of person." Zhao Wuji had also come to seek treatment today, and no matter how he looked at it, Gu Ye did not seem like the person Dai Mubai described.

"Enough. Won't the truth come out once we go inside and take a look? If things are really as Mubai said, and Gu Ye is truly that sort of person, then he dared lay a hand on someone from Shrek Academy. Hmph!" Flender snorted coldly.

He was no kindhearted man.

Anyone who could say that a soul master who dared not cause trouble was not a good soul master clearly had quite the temperament.

Flender and Zhao Wuji then led Dai Mubai and the others into the Medical Hall.

But what left them dumbfounded was that Gu Ye was sitting in a chair with a gentle expression, chatting with Zhu Zhuqing, while Tang San was seated beside them and had not left.

At that moment, Tang San was listening to Gu Ye explain things to Zhu Zhuqing, and the more he heard, the more astonished and impressed he became.

Tang San discovered that Gu Ye's knowledge and insights far surpassed anything he understood.

In some areas, even his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, could not compare to him.

For example, Gu Ye's discussion with Zhu Zhuqing about martial souls, including the matter of Martial Soul Blood.

Tang San was both surprised and somewhat impressed by Gu Ye. At the same time, he gradually began to believe that Gu Ye truly could treat him and sincerely wanted to do so.

But just then, Gu Ye stopped and looked toward the entrance of the Medical Hall.

Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San likewise looked toward the door.

Flender, Zhao Wuji, Dai Mubai, and the others had interrupted them by barging in.

"Zhuqing, are you all right?"

"Third Brother, are you okay?"

The moment they rushed in, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu hurried to Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San to ask.

"How could anything have happened to me?" Zhu Zhuqing asked calmly.

"Xiao Wu, I'm fine. Why did all of you come?" Tang San looked at Zhao Wuji, Dai Mubai, and the others in confusion, unable to understand why they had all come.

"Hmph, it was all because that Lecherous Tiger said Third Brother was in danger here. He even said Zhuqing might have been... violated by Gu Ye. We were worried about you, so we came." Xiao Wu spoke indignantly.

She was clearly furious that Dai Mubai had deceived them.

"Zhuqing, are you really all right?" Ning Rongrong asked as she scrutinized Zhu Zhuqing's body.

"I'm fine." Zhu Zhuqing answered with only those two words and said no more.

Ning Rongrong, Tang San, and Xiao Wu all turned to look at Dai Mubai.

Likewise, Flender and Zhao Wuji looked at Dai Mubai as well.

"Mubai, didn't you say they were in danger? What is going on?" Flender's tone was somewhat harsh, clearly thinking that Dai Mubai had lied.

"I..." Dai Mubai was left speechless.

He looked at the unharmed Tang San, then at the equally unharmed Zhu Zhuqing, his expression turning ugly.

Because he remembered the sight of Zhu Zhuqing lying in Gu Ye's arms with her springtime beauty exposed.

Dai Mubai pointed at Gu Ye and shouted, "Dean Flender, what I said is true! It was him... I saw it with my own eyes. He did those things to Zhuqing."

Zhao Wuji examined Zhu Zhuqing carefully. There was none of what Dai Mubai had described, and it even seemed that her Soul Power had broken through level thirty. Wait—level thirty.

Zhao Wuji suddenly thought of something. He scrutinized Zhu Zhuqing again, and upon confirming that her Soul Power had truly broken through level thirty, he was utterly astonished.

He had clearly sensed during yesterday's test that Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power was only level twenty-seven. Yet today, it had risen to level thirty. How had she done it?

Likewise, Flender was somewhat surprised.

After all, he knew Zhu Zhuqing's entrance assessment results very well.

"What exactly is going on here?" Flender looked at Dai Mubai, pretending to be angry.

"I say, shouldn't you all consider where you are? This is my Medical Hall. You barged in here for no reason and are crowding in front of me like this. Do you take this place for a marketplace?"

Gu Ye swept a cold glance over Dai Mubai and the others before finally letting it rest on Zhao Wuji.

"Headmaster Zhao Wuji, I only healed all the injuries on your body this morning. Are you bringing these people here now to smash up my Medical Hall?"

"And you, Dai Mubai. I was treating Zhuqing today when you barged in and attacked me for no reason. Now you've brought so many people here. What are you trying to do?"

Gu Ye looked at Dai Mubai and the others, his voice turning somewhat cold. Clearly, he was a little angry now.

When he was angry, why should he fear two Soul Saints like Flender and Zhao Wuji? At worst, they could fight. Even if he couldn't beat them, with the system, couldn't he still run away?

Three years from now, Gu Ye would be a good man again.
