Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 472: Chapter 342: Invitation from Beiqing

Seeing Cong Lv unwilling to stand up for her, Qing Bi could only stand up with the help of several guards, her eyes red as she glared fiercely at Yan Jiu, secretly cursing Ye Lingyue in her heart.

Had it not been for her, she wouldn’t have lost so much face in front of the Sixth Prince.

”My meaning is that I have already found the medicine that cures facial beauty for Miss Ye. Moreover, as compensation, I have also told Miss Ye the method to completely cure the Hei Wu. I believe Miss Ye is satisfied with these two compensations.” Yan Jiu leisurely retracted his gaze, his words snapping Xiahou Qi and Hong Mingyue back to reality.

Ye Lingyue knows the method to completely cure the Hei Wu?

Upon hearing this news, the reactions of the Sixth Prince and Hong Mingyue were vastly different.

The Sixth Prince was joyful for Ye Lingyue, while Hong Mingyue felt a bit of jealousy.

If Ye Lingyue could truly cure the Hei Wu, which even she and Luo Song were unable to solve, Ye Lingyue’s future influence in Daxia could even surpass hers.

Luo Song, standing by her side, quietly grabbed Hong Mingyue’s hand.

Touching that boneless, smooth hand, Luo Song’s heart fluttered.

He realized that if he wanted to win the favor of this junior sister, he must start by dealing with Ye Lingyue.

Hong Mingyue, who had never been so close to a man, was just about to pull away when Luo Song transmitted a secret message to her, telling her something.

After listening, Hong Mingyue’s expression eased slightly, and she endured the feeling of disgust in her heart, letting him hold her hand.

”Sixth Prince, if the information provided by City Lord Yan is correct, we might need to change our itinerary and take a trip to Beiqing. I’m afraid we’ll also trouble Princess Qing Bi and Guard Cong to take charge and join us to go to Beiqing,” directed towards the relationship between Yan Jiu and Feng Xun, Ye Lingyue also believed that there was no reason for him to deceive her.

According to Yan Jiu, the method to break the Eye of the Primordial Demon is in Beiqing.

It is said that the Dan Palace Master possesses the method to extinguish the Eye of the Primordial Demon. Her facial injuries, according to Wu Zhong, could heal in a month, and going to Beiqing was also to inquire about the method to eliminate the Hei Wu.

Hearing that Ye Lingyue was going to Beiqing, Xiahou Qi and Hong Mingyue both showed unusual expressions.

However, Hong Mingyue’s face was full of sarcasm, while Xiahou Qi seemed somewhat embarrassed.

”Ling Yue, in fact, I came to you also to tell you something, I was originally planning to go to Beiqing with Miss Ming Yue and Young Master Luo.”

Xiahou Qi spoke of himself, Hong Mingyue, and Young Master Luo, but notably did not mention Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue had already sensed the implied meaning in his words.

Soon after Ye Lingyue and others left Xixia, the Xia Capital Palace received an invitation letter.

The invitation was for Daxia to send people to participate in the triennial exploration of Xingxiu Cave held in Beiqing.

This exploration was something Ye Lingyue had heard mentioned by Alchemist Mei before.

Only the national Alchemist Association that had refined the Reincarnation Elixir had the qualifications to enter Xingxiu Cave.

Before Alchemist Mei and Ye Lingyue successfully refined the Reincarnation Elixir, no one from Daxia had ever had the opportunity to enter Xingxiu Cave.

”The capital has already selected ten candidates, led by Chou Alchemist, to head to Beiqing, with the Sixth Prince, my master, and I, as well as Yuying and Yulang on the list,” Hong Mingyue’s words were particularly grating to Ye Lingyue’s ears.

Even the siblings Hong Yuying were selected, while Ye Lingyue, who was one of the refiners of the Reincarnation Elixir, was left out.

The scheming within is obvious.

Ye Lingyue sneered inside, good, very good, these people, using her achievements to explore Xingxiu Cave, truly commendable.

”Ling Yue, things are not as you think. His Majesty believes that since the plague is rampant in the Xixia Plain and you, as the Master, cannot leave at the moment, he had to...” Xiahou Qi tried to explain, but upon seeing the cold gaze from Ye Lingyue, he fell silent, feeling even more guilty.

Seeing this, Princess Qing Bi exchanged a meaningful look with Hong Mingyue.

In terms of strength, among the young alchemists of Daxia, hardly anyone could surpass Ye Lingyue, and the adventure in Xingxiu Cave was incredibly dangerous. Emperor Xia initially did not wish for Xiahou Qi to go.

However, at that moment, Emperor Xia received a confidential letter from Emperor Beiqing, claiming that Princess Qing Bi and the Sixth Prince had taken a liking to each other at first sight and hoped that the Sixth Prince would participate in this adventure to Xingxiu Cave.

Emperor Xia immediately understood the underlying message from Emperor Beiqing—he wanted to form an alliance through marriage between Beiqing and Daxia, wishing to meet Xiahou Qi, his prospective son-in-law.

Only then did Emperor Xia assign the Sixth Prince as the leader, using it as an excuse not to allow Ye Lingyue to accompany them, and a few days later, they would rendezvous with others and head to Beiqing together.

Xiahou Qi had originally intended to keep this from Ye Lingyue, but unbeknownst to him, she also wanted to go to Beiqing.

”What’s so great about that? If we don’t participate, then we don’t. Ling Yue, we can go to Beiqing ourselves. After crossing this plain, it’s Beiqing, near Aguduo’s homeland,” Lan Cai’er said impatiently, cursing the Emperor and those shameless people from the Hong Residence in her heart.

”Without official documents, you are not qualified to enter Beiqing,” Princess Qing Bi retorted sarcastically, having regained her composure from the initial panic.

She just wasn’t willing for Ye Lingyue to go to Beiqing with them.

Seeing Ye Lingyue injured had made Xiahou Qi’s face so terrible that it was frightening. If Ye Lingyue had also come along, how would she have had the chance to get close to Xiahou Qi?

”Guard Cong, I wonder if this token will allow me to enter Beiqing?” Ye Lingyue sneered, producing the Phoenix Token.

She remembered Cong Lv saying that with this token, she could go to Beiqing to find Feng Xun.

”How come you have a token from Feng Residence? Wow, Ye Lingyue, you lowly thief, how dare you steal the Phoenix Token, watch me chop off your hands today!” Upon seeing the token, Qing Bi’s face turned pale, looking even uglier than when she fell off the horse earlier.

That was a token the Prince Feng carried with him, made of a unique jade and beautifully incomparable.

As a child, Qing Bi had liked it very much and even asked Feng Xun for it, but he paid no attention.

However, that such a precious token appeared on a discarded daughter of Daxia was unimaginable.

Qing Bi had long inquired about Ye Lingyue’s identity.

This woman, despite bearing a princess’s title, was not a princess at all but a lowly daughter born to a concubine of the Marquis Mansion.

Qing Bi also knew that Feng Xun had lived in Daxia for a few years, so seeing the token, her first reaction was that Ye Lingyue had stolen it.

She swiftly drew the treasure sword at her side, aiming to chop off Ye Lingyue’s hands.

”How dare you!”

Three voices thundered simultaneously like thunder striking the ground.

Xiahou Qi, Cong Lv, and Yan Jiu shouted in anger.

Startled, Qing Bi was taken aback, especially by Xiahou Qi, who had already shielded Ye Lingyue with his body, causing her more distress with tears welling up in her eyes.

”You all! Even you, Cong Lv, dare to rebuke this princess,” Qing Bi, pampered by the royal family, had never been treated this way before.
