Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 639: Chapter 507: Long Baobao’s Little Wish

The night was silent and desolate.

As Long Sixuan and Long Huai finished their conversation, outside the room, the Blood Castle Lord ”Xue Long” did not immediately leave.

He hung upside down like a bat, hidden beneath the eaves outside the room.

Only when calm was restored inside the room did ”Xue Long” leave Cang Country like a ghostly shadow.

On the borders of Cang Country stood a man. Under the rustling night wind and the bright moonlight, the man’s appearance was clearly visible—it was Yan Che, the Vice Sect Leader of Ghost Sect.

”Reporting to the Vice Sect Leader, the item has been delivered into Long Sixuan’s hands, and he indeed had no suspicions.”

Seeing the newcomer, ”Xue Long” knelt on one knee and handed over the silver note.

”Old Qi, you’ve done well this time.” Yan Che took the silver note without giving it much attention, storing it in his chest, waiting to transfer it to Ye Lingyue after arriving at Mercenary City.

Naturally, the kneeling ”Xue Long” was not the real Xue Long.

His name was Lou Qi, a member of Ghost Sect Thirteen Kills and one of the most outstanding assassins cultivated by Ye Lingyue after establishing Ghost Sect.

This Lou Qi, in terms of assassin’s skills, might not compare to the already deceased Xue Long.

But he possessed a set of martial arts very similar to that of Xue Long, and he was also skilled in the Bone Shrinking Technique and various disguise methods. After learning about Long Sixuan’s promise of a hefty sum of five million taels of gold, Ye Lingyue began to harbor crooked thoughts.

Long Sixuan’s money was all dirty money, not to take advantage of it would be a waste. She sketched out the likeness of ”Xue Long” and sent it back to Ghost Sect, and in the past few days, Yan Che orchestrated everything.

The whole process was as seamless as heavenly clothes, and Long Sixuan indeed discovered nothing.

Ye Lingyue grasped Long Sixuan’s desire for a Spiritual Artifact and extorted an additional million taels of gold. This money was timely rain for the future construction of Ye Lingyue’s territory.

”The Sect Leader truly has a mind like a divine strategist. The Family Head of Long Family is indeed imprisoned by Long Sixuan, and it’s not going to be easy to rescue him. Besides, I have something I don’t understand; why would the Sect Leader give an Earth-grade top-grade Spiritual Artifact directly to Long Sixuan?”

Lou Qi felt pity on behalf of the Sect Leader for parting with an Earth-grade top-grade Spiritual Artifact.

”The Sect Leader’s thoughts are not something you and I can speculate on, just do your duty. For the time being, stay in Cang Country and closely monitor Long Sixuan.” Yan Che himself was somewhat puzzled by Ye Lingyue’s intentions but thought that the Sect Leader always had her reasons, and this time would be no exception.

Lou Qi took the order and sped away, while Yan Che headed towards Mercenary City with the newly acquired silver notes, to meet up with Ye Lingyue.

Several days later, Yan Che arrived at Mercenary City as scheduled.

Lan Cai’er’s eyes nearly popped out at the sight of six million taels of white silver notes.

Even Long Baobao, the young master of the Long Clan, was stunned speechless.

So much money!

”Oh my god, Ling Yue, don’t tell me you’ve won big at gambling again. That’s six million taels of gold!” Lan Cai’er’s eyes turned red with envy. She worked so hard to run the Drunk Immortal Inn, and she only earned a few hundred thousand silver taels a year. How could her little sister make such a huge sum in the blink of an eye?

”Wrong, this money was given to us by Long Sixuan.” Ye Lingyue laughed.

”Uncle Six... are you saying that the money is from that bad guy Long Sixuan?” Long Baobao’s little face immediately scrunched up into a real steamed bun. ”Sister Hei, you didn’t sell me out, did you?”

But on second thought, that wasn’t right either.

His head was only worth five million taels, and his stingy and sneaky uncle would never give a penny more.

”This money is for ’your’ head and your ’Spiritual Artifact’. A few days ago, I found a dead child and used a Disguise to make it look like you. I sent it along with an Earth-grade top-grade Spiritual Artifact to Long Si Hai. Then, I had the six million taels of gold in hand.”

”Earth-grade Spiritual Artifact? You reckless girl, you actually gave an Earth-grade top-grade Spiritual Artifact to Long Sixuan. Not even I, your sister, have such a high-grade Spiritual Artifact.” Lan Cai’er felt like crying without tears.

”That Earth-grade Spiritual Artifact was just a mere chicken rib. It was what I had previously obtained from Hong Yulang. Originally, it was just an Earth-grade lower-grade Flying Spirit Artifact. Coincidentally, it’s the same type of artifact that Little Steamed Bun entered into the competition with, a fan.”

The Earth-grade Spiritual Artifact Ye Lingyue got from Hong Yulang was initially Bo Qing’s.

That guy, called the ”Treasure Child”, had too many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to even bother managing them all.

As a ”break up fee” to Hong Yulang, the Glazed Jade Fan was only good-looking and could be used for flying, but for Bo Qing, what’s the use of looking good? Could it look better than himself?

Moreover, Bo Qing despised the flimsy appearance of the fan, saying it lacked masculinity. But tossing it away would seem too wasteful, so he just casually gave it to Hong Yulang.

After Hong Yulang got it, he treasured it, carrying it every day, but unfortunately, it ended up in Ye Lingyue’s hands.

Not long after Ye Lingyue took in Long Baobao, she inquired about the Spiritual Artifact he had refined and found out it was also a fan, and so she had an idea.

She knew Long Baobao’s fan was an Earth-grade top-grade Spiritual Artifact. To trick Long Sixuan, she at least had to come up with a similar grade artifact. She then used the power of White Cauldron Breath to purify the low-grade Glazed Jade Fan a few times.

Relying on the heaven-defying purification effect of the White Cauldron Breath, all impurities in the Glazed Jade Fan were refined away, and its grade was truly increased by two stages.

However, that was just superficial. Although the Glazed Jade Fan appeared to be Earth-grade top-grade, any true Fang Venerate-level expert could see that it was originally just an Earth-grade lower-grade Spiritual Artifact.

If Long Sixuan were to present it at the World’s First Refining, the result would be just laughable.

”This is more like it. I was going to say, you can’t just keep giving benefits to a heinous person like Long Sixuan. For Little Steamed Bun’s sake, I would be indignant.” Lan Cai’er finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

But Long Baobao felt very sad upon hearing this.

”Grandpa... if grandpa saw that ’fake Little Long Baobao’s head’, he would definitely be very upset, since he’s always been ill.” The little guy’s eyes turned red like a little rabbit’s.

”Little Steamed Bun, don’t worry. Although your grandpa has been poisoned, he’s not dead. My people have already verified that he’s still alive. And don’t forget, both you and your grandpa know that the fan you refined isn’t the Glazed Jade Fan. As long as he sees the Glazed Jade Fan, I believe he would understand that you are not dead. He will surely keep living, waiting for you to go back and save him.” Ye Lingyue stroked Long Baobao’s little head, comforting him.

Upon hearing this, Long Baobao instantly lit up as if energized.

”Really? Then I must work harder. I will strive to pay back all my debts to Sister Hei and Emperor’s Slaughter Mercenary Team soon, become stronger, and save Grandpa!”
