Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 504: Chapter 374: Chen Hongru Wants to See Her

”Hey hey, what are you all pushing for, my little sister wouldn’t even consider joining Beiqing’s richest Feng Residence, what makes you nobodies think you can compare with the wealth of the Feng Residence?”

Lan Cai’er, coming from the VIP seats, was just about to sincerely congratulate her sister, but instead, she saw this scene and charged through, forcefully pushing those people away.

Once the Beiqing Feng Residence was mentioned, those people really did shrink back.

Speaking of wealth, indeed, no one here is richer than the Feng Residence.

”Sister, what are you talking about? Since when did the Feng Residence invite me to join?” Ye Lingyue was quite embarrassed, quickly grabbing the unrestrained Lan Cai’er over.

”Isn’t being the lady of the Feng Residence considered being a part of it? That’s right, the Feng Residence now belongs to you,” teased Lan Cai’er, but she was met with a sharp glare from Ye Lingyue.

”Ling Yue.”

Xiahou Qi came over, with a trace of joy on his face.

”Congratulations on refining the Five-Colored Reincarnation Elixir. Would... would you like to stay in Daxia and take charge of the Alchemist Tower?” The Xiahou Venerable of the Daxia Alchemist Tower had been missing for many years.

When Xiahou Qi left Daxia this time, Emperor Xia had mentioned that a new talent should be selected to lead the Alchemist Tower.

Ye Lingyue’s successful refinement of the Five-Colored Reincarnation Elixir had made the entire Daxia Alchemist World proud, and she believed that Emperor Xia would let go of his grudge against her and allow her to return to Xia Capital.

Yet Ye Lingyue’s response was with a smiling yet not smiling expression.

”Junior brother, do not forget that I am not a member of the Daxia delegation, so where is the congratulations coming from?”

Ye Lingyue’s words slapped Xiahou Qi in the face, and he stood there with a sense of desolation in his heart.

He suddenly understood that Ye Lingyue had completely given up on Daxia and on him.

From now on, whatever happens in Daxia will have nothing to do with her.

Who is to blame for this? Was it his father and he who pushed Ye Lingyue further and further away from Daxia?

Xiahou Qi stood rooted on the spot, unable to move a single step.

”Miss Ye, I wonder if you might be interested in joining Three-Life Valley. With just a few kind words from me and my father, I believe he would make you a core disciple of Three-Life Valley.”

Luo Song and Hong Mingyue also came over, but their expressions were rather odd, especially Hong Mingyue, who looked at Ye Lingyue as if she wanted to tear her to shreds.

Despite their reluctance, the appearance of the Five-Colored Reincarnation Elixir forced Luo Song and Hong Mingyue to lower their proud heads.

Luo Song thought that by extending the invitation, Ye Lingyue would surely be moved to tears.

The Three-Life Valley does not simply accept disciples, let alone offer someone the position of a core disciple immediately. Even the well-regarded Hong Mingyue by the elders took five to six years to become a core disciple.

”Oh, wanting me to join the Three-Life Valley is not something I couldn’t consider,” Ye Lingyue said with a smile, revealing her finely white teeth.

Luo Song was secretly delighted, while Hong Mingyue’s face turned ashen, thinking that Ye Lingyue really intended to join Three-Life Valley.

After all, the allure of the title of one of the Nine Sects is far greater than any mortal status or wealth.

”If you let me be the Valley Master of the Three-Life Valley, then perhaps I could consider it,” Ye Lingyue’s words instantly enraged Luo Song.

”Ye Lingyue, don’t be ungrateful, someone like you doesn’t even deserve to be a core disciple of Three-Life Valley.”

”Young Valley Master Luo, others may look up to your Three-Life Valley, but in my eyes, Ye Lingyue, Three-Life Valley is nothing,” Ye Lingyue sneered coldly.

The Hong Residence, relying on the support of Three-Life Valley and Heavenly Armor Sect, had oppressed her and her mother, and she, Ye Lingyue, would never forget that in her lifetime.

One day, she would uproot the entire Three-Life Valley from its foundation.

Even with the invitation from Three-Life Valley rejected, the forces that were still gathered around, hoping to invite Ye Lingyue to join, suddenly lost interest and refrained from pestering her. At that moment, Xue Pianran approached.

”Miss Ye, I wonder if you have any spare time at the moment, Master Hong Ru has a request for you.”

”Ling Yue, I’ll accompany you,” Lan Cai’er, fearing that Ye Lingyue might run into trouble, wanted to join her.

”The only person Master Hong Ru wishes to see is Miss Ye alone,” said Xue Pianran, her face still wearing a radiant smile, yet her tone carried a chill.

The Palace Master of Dan Palace isn’t someone just anybody can meet.

If it weren’t for Ye Lingyue’s unexpected refinement of the Five-Colored Reincarnation Elixir, given who she is, she wouldn’t be worthy to meet Master Hong Ru.

”Sister Cai’er, you and Little Wuya wait for me outside. I will be back shortly.” Ye Lingyue followed Xue Pianran into the Dan Palace.

Upon entering the Dan Palace, Ye Lingyue realized that what she had previously glimpsed was just a very small part of it.

The real Dan Palace was a labyrinth of winding paths and secluded corridors, like a vast maze, impossible to navigate without someone to lead the way.

The residence of Chen Hongru was even situated atop a mountain.

Walking from the foot of the mountain to the peak was like experiencing the four seasons of the mortal world, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, each in turn.

Xue Pianran dismissed her attendants and personally led the way.

”Miss Ye, speaking of which, I really should thank you.”

”Heavenly Maiden is too kind. We’ve only met briefly twice before, strangers in all our life, where does this thanks come from?”

”I’ve always been busy in Dan Palace and have neglected Feng Xun. When he was in Daxia, it was thanks to your care.”

Ye Lingyue gave a cold smile; this woman, give her an inch and she takes a mile.

”Feng Xun and I, we’ve gone through several life and death ordeals together, he has saved me, and I have saved him, where does this care come from.”

Xue Pianran’s spine tensed suddenly.

Ye Lingyue’s remark had drawn a vast divide between their relationships.

As though she and Feng Xun shared one world, while she, Xue Pianran, was in a completely different one.

What had happened in Daxia with Feng Xun, he was never willing to share with her. Xue Pianran had always thought that Feng Xun didn’t want her to worry, but now it seems he simply disdained to discuss it with her.

”What do you know, when Feng Xun was in the most pain and most distress, I was the one by his side. I have known her for ten years, whereas you, you have only known him for a year. Ye Lingyue, where does your confidence come from, that you have defeated me?” Xue Pianran’s face, always so immaculately mask-like, flaked and fell away.

She was screaming desperately, ghastly like a woman immersed in mundane love, who couldn’t get the love she desired.

”Your Highness Heavenly Maiden, ten years or one year is not important. What matters is, are you that person?” Ye Lingyue looked up.

She saw a figure not far away, looking at her warmly.

Past the hazy glow of the setting sun, those beautiful eyes glanced over, and at the moment they saw her, a tender ocean rose.

Xue Pianran looked on blankly; she saw Feng Xun, yet her heart plummeted to rock bottom.

But Feng Xun couldn’t see her.

In his eyes, in his heart, there was room for only one Ye Lingyue.
