Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 681: Chapter 548: Incompatible Fates

When Feng Xun heard the name Ye Lingyue, he was slightly startled, a faint blush passing over his jade-like face.

”It is indeed Yue’er.”

Heavenly Venerate felt a mix of crying and laughing.

Today, he himself did not know what luck he had stumbled upon; the two encounters he had were both related to Ye Lingyue, yet it seemed they concerned Feng Xun as well.

Ye Lingyue had come to inquire about Feng Xun’s illness.

And Feng Xun had come to ask about his marital compatibility with Ye Lingyue.

Feng Xun was aware of the rules of the Heavenly Venerate; he had been well-prepared with the birth information of Ye Lingyue.

Heavenly Venerate, seeing Feng Xun’s neatly written characters, felt somewhat relieved.

Heavenly Venerate thought to himself, it’s often said that women are meticulous, but it seems this Prince Feng is much more meticulous than Ye Lingyue.

Upon checking Ye Lingyue’s birth information, Heavenly Venerate’s expression dramatically changed.

”Prince Feng, is this truly Ye Lingyue’s birth information? If this is indeed accurate, you absolutely cannot be together with her.”

The words of the Heavenly Venerate slightly shook Feng Xun.

”Why does Heavenly Venerate say such a thing?”

”Your destinies are inherently conflicting; if you were to be together with her, I fear you would encounter a calamitous disaster, and might not even live past the age of twenty,” said Heavenly Venerate with a grave look.

Conflicting destinies?

Feng Xun’s frame shuddered.

Their destinies conflict?

How could this be, he had finally made up his mind, to get along well with Wu Zhong, just so he could propose to Ye Lingyue, he had even prepared to bring Ye Lingyue to meet Emperor Beiqing to request his blessing for their marriage.

But now Heavenly Venerate was saying they could not be together.

Feng Xun felt like he had heard a colossal joke.

”Heavenly Venerate, are you sure you saw it clearly?”

”Prince Feng, heed my advice, give up on Ye Lingyue. She is not suitable for you. If you forcefully stay together, not only you, but even she could face dire consequences,” Heavenly Venerate advised.

Yue’er could face dire consequences too?

Feng Xun’s hands involuntarily tightened.

He might disregard his own safety, but if Ye Lingyue also suffered as a result...

Feng Xun was silent for a moment and then slowly said,

”Heavenly Venerate, I wish that the matter I inquire about today shall be known only to myself, I do not want a third person to know, including Emperor Qing.”

”Prince Feng, rest assured, the matter of today, only you and I know...” Heavenly Venerate could only watch as Feng Xun left the tent.

Feng Xun walked out of the tent.

Heavenly Venerate stood alone for a moment, gazing at the piece of birth information of Ye Lingyue in his hands, his eyes filled with solemnity.

In all his life, he had never seen such an astonishing birth information.

If one is to look at the birth information, this Daxia Lady Marquis Ye Lingyue, should be a...

Suddenly, another person appeared inside the tent.

The person was dressed in all black.

A sallow face, with small fine scars that obscured the newcomer’s original visage.

The person arriving had dry, long hair that reached the ankles, a thin, frail body, and lifeless eyes, making the whole person seem devoid of vitality.

The visitor arrived without a sound. Even the two robed Martial Artists stationed outside the tent were unaware of their presence, as if the visitor had materialized out of thin air inside the tent.

Upon their arrival, the Heavenly Venerate only slightly lifted his eyes, voicing his displeasure.

”Since you’ve come, why not show yourself earlier? Watching me being played by a young girl, do you find it amusing?”

”Of course, it’s amusing. The Heavenly Venerate, famed for his wisdom, was actually trapped by a young girl, nearly causing his soul to scatter. Such opportunities are rare. Besides, if you were truly unwilling, who could force you? You knew that with me, the Earth Venerate here, that girl couldn’t have harmed your physical body, yet you still revealed the matter about Prince Feng to her. You were aware that once Ye Lingyue knew, she would seek out Emperor Beiqing. Once she learns that secret, she is sure to die,” said the newcomer indifferently, her tone cold.

Although the voice was low and somewhat hoarse, it belonged unmistakably to a woman.

This person in black was another Venerable of the Tongtian Pavilion, the Earth Venerate.

Everyone knows of the Heaven and Earth Venerable of the Tongtian Pavilion, but few know how inseparable they are.

The Heavenly Venerate governs divination and hope, while the Earth Venerate represents destruction and death.

Even fewer know that the Earth Venerate is a woman.

The Heavenly Venerate pursed his lips, clearly embarrassed for having his thoughts perceived.

The Heavenly Venerate is hardly a benevolent figure; Ye Lingyue’s schemes against him urged him to guide her to find Emperor Beiqing, which indeed could save Feng Xun, but also potentially offend Emperor Beiqing.

”Earth Venerate, are you blaming me, setting her up? I find it odd, you’re a cold-hearted person, why care so much about a girl you’ve just met? Or is it because she is the beloved of Feng Xun? You once promised your mentor, once you joined the Tongtian Pavilion, you would forget all worldly matters,” the Heavenly Venerate said, his expression angry.

The Earth Venerate did not reply.

She lowered her eyes.

”Sorry, senior brother.”

The Heavenly Venerate sighed, slowly raising his hand to touch the Earth Venerate’s face, but she clearly retreated in caution and rejection.

The Heavenly Venerate’s hand hovered in mid-air.

”All these years, you still can’t let go of Feng Xun, of the Beiqing Feng Mansion.”

A flicker of agitation crossed the dry face of the Earth Venerate.

”How can I let go? He is my only son. My son, yet he was cared for many years by kin who are also my greatest enemies. Just now, I wanted so badly to appear and tell Feng Xun that Emperor Beiqing is not a good person, that very Emperor, likely the one who murdered my husband, the murderer of ’me’.”

The expression of the Heavenly Venerate changed drastically.

”Qing Feng!”

The Earth Venerate was none other than Princess Qingfeng, who was supposed to have died many years ago, the lady of the Beiqing Feng Mansion, Princess Qingfeng.

Looking at the disfigured, temperamental woman before him, pain flickered in the eyes of the Heavenly Venerate.

Few knew of the unresolved connection between the Heavenly Venerate and Princess Qingfeng, which originated from Feng Xun’s mother, the former Princess Consort Feng, Princess Qingfeng.

As a youth, the Heavenly Venerate had accompanied his mentor, the former Heavenly Venerate, to the Beiqing Imperial Palace to forecast the nation’s fate for the former Emperor Beiqing, meeting Princess Qingfeng who was still a princess at that time.

The former Heavenly Venerate recognized at first sight that Qingfeng had the potential, even suggesting taking her back to the Tongtian Pavilion.

He told the former Emperor Beiqing that Princess Qingfeng bore the Blood Evil Light in her fate, and if not removed from the Beiqing Imperial Palace, she would face misfortune one day.

But the former Emperor Beiqing, unwilling to part with his daughter, ultimately didn’t agree to the former Heavenly Venerate’s request.

Although they were not yet sworn siblings then.

But being close in age, the youthful Heavenly Venerate and Princess Qingfeng became confidants.

It was also during that time, the young Heavenly Venerate met Princess Qingfeng’s beloved, Feng Lan, as well as her elder sister, Princess Qingshuang.
