Pleading for Young Master Ye to Act

"Oh, I didn't expect my little sister to fight back!" Li Man sneered playfully.

Then, her expression suddenly turned cold: "You little slut, do you even know your own strength?"

"Men, drag her out!"

"Yes!" Two Soul Saints responded, striding forward.

Ye Tian, standing to the side, watched the scene indifferently.

It seems Li Jiuchuan isn't well-regarded in the Li family.

Despite this, she still went to the East Sea shore to invite him to heal Li Haitian, even offering herself as collateral.

This further revealed her rare character.

Facing the two Soul Saints rushing toward him, Ye Tian remained completely calm.

Looking at Li Jiuchuan, he sighed lightly: "Jiuchuan, my condolences. It seems I won't be making any money this time. Goodbye."

Upon hearing this, Li Jiuchuan's heart sank.

She knew Ye Tian never spoke carelessly.

It was likely that only Ye Tian could cure her grandfather's illness.

If Ye Tian left, all hope would be lost.

On the other side, Li Man was enraged upon hearing Ye Tian's words: "How dare you curse my grandfather to die!"

Her six soul rings lit up simultaneously, preparing to personally teach Ye Tian a lesson.

At that moment, Zhou Long stepped forward, releasing the powerful aura of a Titled Douluo, and coldly swept his gaze over everyone:

"Shut up!"

"How dare you disrespect Young Master Ye!"

"If it weren't for Young Master Ye's disinterest in arguing with the likes of you, you'd already be cold corpses by now!"

The intense pressure from Zhou Long startled everyone present!

The two Soul Saints were knocked to the ground.

Li Man, in particular, coughed up blood from the shock.

She looked at Zhou Long in disbelief, her hands trembling.

The man was actually a Titled Douluo!

Ye Tian's bodyguard was a Titled Douluo!

Just who was Ye Tian, to have a Titled Douluo as a bodyguard!?

The young Zhao Gou was also dumbfounded, staring blankly at Ye Tian.

He hadn't expected the other party's status to be so terrifying!

Even the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire didn't have a Titled Douluo as a personal bodyguard!

And he, a mere duke's son, whose family didn't even have a Titled Douluo!

The reason he had arranged a marriage with Li Man was due to his father's instructions to forge ties with Li Haitian, a newly ascended Titled Douluo.

Who would have thought that before he could secure this connection, he had already offended someone so important?

Zhao Gou was instantly terrified, collapsing to the ground, not daring to move.

The wrath of a Titled Douluo could easily destroy a duke's family!

Moreover, Ye Tian's identity might be even more terrifying than that of a Titled Douluo!

He immediately begged for mercy: "Young Master Ye, I was wrong! Please forgive my foolishness and let me go as if I were nothing but air!"

Li Man glared angrily at Zhao Gou, furious: "Spineless fool!"

Zhao Gou snapped back at her: "What good is pride if it won't save your life?!"

Ye Tian completely ignored the two, as they were beneath his notice.

He glanced nonchalantly at Dugu Bo, chuckled lightly, and shook his head: "You haven't even solved your own snake venom problem, yet you think you can help others? Ridiculous."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo frowned and stared at Ye Tian.

He had been surprised when he sensed Zhou Long's power earlier.

But he wasn't truly afraid.

After all, he was a Titled Douluo himself.

However, Ye Tian's words truly shook him.

How could Ye Tian know about the torment his Martial Soul's snake venom caused him?

And what did he mean by 'not resolved'?

A few years ago, that kid Tang San in the Sunset Forest had given him a cure.

He felt the treatment had been effective.

It was with this confidence that he accepted Zhao Gou's generous payment to treat Li Haitian.

But now, Ye Tian claimed it was ineffective? What a joke!

Dugu Bo waved his sleeve, sneering:

"Hmph! Don't think that just because you know a few tricks, you can criticize me!"

Just then, a coughing sound came from behind him.

Dugu Bo turned to see Li Haitian waking up.

Proudly, he pointed at him and said, "See that? That's what true medicine is! I treat and cure with a single dose!"

He walked over to Li Haitian with a smile: "Patriarch Li, how are you feeling?"

His revival was proof of Dugu Bo's skill!

That little brat Ye Tian was far too arrogant!

Patriarch Li exhaled deeply, and the cloudiness in his eyes dissipated somewhat.

He revealed a relieved smile: "Thank you, Poison Douluo. I feel much better."

"Tsk tsk, unaware that his illness is fatal."

Ye Tian glanced at Li Haitian with indifference and shook his head.

The Li family's behavior left him cold.

He had no intention of involving himself further and turned to leave.

Dugu Bo, however, blocked his way: "Boy, if you don't explain yourself today, aren't you just slandering my name for no reason?"

Seeing this, Zhou Long was about to step forward to teach Poison Douluo a lesson.

But Ye Tian raised his hand to stop him.

With a calm expression, he looked at Li Haitian and smiled lightly: "Have Patriarch Li circulate his soul power, and all will become clear."

Hearing this, Li Haitian began circulating his soul power.

However, before he could complete a single cycle, a sudden pressure built up in his chest.

With a loud "ugh," he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He collapsed immediately.

"Grandfather!"

Beside him, Li Jiuchuan, her eyes red with tears, hurried to support him.

Tears streamed down her face.

"Grandfather, what's wrong with you?!"

Dugu Bo's expression tensed as he looked at Ye Tian, now panicked: "W-what's happening?!"

Ye Tian replied unhurriedly: "Forcing the poison into the soul bone can indeed alleviate the symptoms temporarily. But over time, the poison seeps into the bone marrow, just like drinking poison to quench thirst—there's no hope for a cure."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was utterly shocked: "How do you know about my method?!"

He was flustered.

He had never imagined that Tang San's solution was nothing more than a temporary fix!

No wonder he had been feeling weaker in recent years, his body losing control bit by bit.

The poison had penetrated into his bone marrow!

Does that mean his granddaughter is suffering the same fate?

Dugu Bo stood frozen, too scared to think further.

As Ye Tian was about to leave, Li Jiuchuan immediately knelt down, tears streaming down her face like raindrops: "Young Master Ye, please save my grandfather! I'm willing to devote my life to repay you!"

Hearing this, Li Man lowered her head in shame.

She realized she had wrongfully blamed Li Jiuchuan.

Li Haitian, desperate to survive, also cried out weakly: "Young Master Ye, please save me! I'm willing to offer the wealth of the Li family in exchange for your help!"

Wealth was meaningless without life, not a single coin could be spent.

Moreover, the Li family depended on him.

If he died now and enemies came knocking, the Li family would become a living hell.

Injured and humbled, Li Man also set aside her pride and knelt before Ye Tian: "Young Master Ye, please save my grandfather! I'm willing to do anything to atone for my previous rudeness!"
