Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 963: Chapter 23: Winning Over the Boss’s Top Fan

The return of the Cauldron Spirit was undoubtedly great news for Ye Lingyue.

Although its current state didn’t look too good, at least it had awakened.

After settling Little Di Shen, the Qian Cauldron ’s Spirit eagerly jumped out from the palm of Ye Lingyue’s hand.

”Oooh, Master, you don’t blame me anymore?”

The Cauldron Spirit, upon seeing Ye Lingyue, was both joyful and guilty.

The matter with Little Di Shen still filled the Cauldron Spirit with guilt.

”You’re just a Cauldron Spirit, unable to refine an adult body, so I don’t blame you. However, next time, if you find it difficult, you must tell me in advance. As for Little Di Shen’s condition, you saw it yourself. Why, despite me merging Feng Xun and Wu Zhong’s Primordial Spirits into his body, he has none of their memories?”

Though Little Di Shen was innocent and adorable, with a hint of slyness, he had no memories of interacting with Ye Lingyue, which kept troubling her.

She wanted to restore his body and more importantly, recover those lost memories.

”Master, while I was asleep, I realized that it was because Little Di Shen’s Primordial Spirit was too severely injured. To fully restore it, you would need to find ways to rapidly strengthen the Primordial Spirit in Lonely Moon Sea. However, this method is top-secret even within Lonely Moon Sea, and common people find it hard to access.”

Explained the Cauldron Spirit.

Ye Lingyue was also troubled, as she was now just a miscellaneous servant, not to mention the highest secrets; even entering places like Green Moon Cliff was impossible for her.

”But Master, don’t worry, I can sense a very strong Primordial Spirit deep within Lonely Moon Sea. If you can find that Primordial Spirit, it would definitely help strengthen Little Di Shen’s Primordial Spirit.”

The Cauldron Spirit’s Spiritual Sense had just recovered and could only vaguely sense the presence of the strong Primordial Spirit, not locate its exact position.

Moreover, Ye Lingyue, located at the Clothes Washing Workshop, was at the very outskirts of Lonely Moon Sea, making sensing even more difficult.

The words of the Cauldron Spirit filled Ye Lingyue with confidence.

However, she also understood that for the Cauldron Spirit to recover and grow strong, a large amount of Spirit Stones, especially high-quality Intermediate Spirit Stones, were needed.

She couldn’t always rely on Little Di Shen to ask his senior brothers and sisters for Spirit Stones; for the Cauldron Spirit and Little Di Shen, she had to find a long-term method to earn Spirit Stones.

Ye Lingyue pondered long and hard all night, her eyes slightly red and swollen by morning.

But shortly after she sent Little Di Shen off and was about to head to the Clothes Washing Workshop, her room door was rudely kicked open.

Several old miscellaneous servants rushed in.

”Ye Lingyue, Steward Xiao is looking for you for questioning.”

Upon seeing their expressions, Ye Lingyue immediately thought of the deaths of Fang Rou and the others.

The Clothes Washing Workshop wasn’t large, and with the disappearance of a few people, someone as astute as Steward Xiao would surely notice.

Ye Lingyue was mentally prepared and did not resist, following the old miscellaneous servants to the residence of Steward Xiao.

Steward Xiao’s residence was located within the Clothes Washing Workshop, comprising several spacious rooms.

When Ye Lingyue was brought in, Steward Xiao had a furrowed brow.

She had been managing the Clothes Washing Workshop for over twenty years, always handling affairs fairly, and had never encountered major incidents before.

But no sooner had the new servants arrived for a month than her subordinates’ lives were uncertain.

Fang Rou and the others had been missing for a day and a night.

Prior to their disappearance, someone saw Fang Rou and her group trailing the new servant Ye Lingyue.

Yet, Ye Lingyue was perfectly fine, while Fang Rou’s group had vanished like morning dew.

This made Ye Lingyue the last contact with Fang Rou and the others.

Moreover, Steward Xiao was also aware that Fang Rou and her group of old miscellaneous servants had a habit of bullying newcomers.

Among the newcomers, many harbored resentment towards them.

Ye Lingyue entered, unafraid and unyielding, refusing to kneel.

Such an attitude kindled some anger in Steward Xiao.

”Ye Lingyue, do you acknowledge your guilt?”

Steward Xiao questioned Ye Lingyue loudly upon seeing her.

Behind Ye Lingyue, a few old miscellaneous servants restrained her limbs and were about to force her to the ground.

Unexpectedly, Ye Lingyue stood firm as if cast in iron, unmoved.

”Steward Xiao, what crime have I committed?”

Ye Lingyue showed apparent nonchalance.

”Hmph, you know your guilt best.” Steward Xiao slammed the table; the teacup upon it fell and shattered into pieces.

Outside, over twenty new miscellaneous servants who entered the Clothes Washing Workshop with Ye Lingyue were all tied up and kneeling in a row.

They looked at Ye Lingyue with apologetic faces, clearly having confessed their dealings with her.

Ye Lingyue glanced at them once but did not show any intention of blaming them.

”Steward Xiao, may I ask, what wrong is there in helping my partners complete tasks? What’s wrong with taking Spirit Stones from people to avert disaster? The Clothes Washing Workshop only requires task completion, never saying that partners can’t engage in mutual benefit and cooperation,” Ye Lingyue said calmly.

”On your own, it’s impossible to fill two ponds. You allowed outsiders to meddle with the affairs of the Clothes Washing Workshop, and you still have the nerve to argue? I ask you, did you arrange for someone to secretly kill Fang Rou and the others?”

Steward Xiao suspected Ye Lingyue was using her connection with Little Di Shen to have someone from the Inner Sect employ a Spiritual Artifact to help with the water transfer.

She dared not offend people from the Inner Sect, but Ye Lingyue, being under her charge at the Clothes Washing Workshop, gave her every right to discipline.

Ye Lingyue surveyed the surroundings but did not deny the accusation.

Having committed murder, she was not afraid to admit it.

”Steward Xiao, I can tell you the truth, but release those outside and dismiss those unnecessary by your side first; otherwise, even if subjected to harsh interrogation, you won’t get an extra word from me,” Ye Lingyue stated, her intense gaze fixed on Steward Xiao.

She exuded an intimidating aura, causing Steward Xiao to hesitate.

After a moment’s hesitation, Steward Xiao gestured for her subordinates to release the others, leaving only she and Ye Lingyue in the room.

”They are gone now, speak if you have something to say. Don’t think having Elder Feng’s backing allows you to act recklessly in the Clothes Washing Workshop,”

Steward Xiao impatiently remarked.

Ye Lingyue, without further dispute, produced a letter and Trading Order she had earlier found on Fang Rou and the others and handed them to Steward Xiao.

Seeing them, Steward Xiao’s visage turned grim.

A letter might be explainable, but a Trading Order couldn’t be forged regardless.

Fang Rou had plotted to kill someone under her watch, an act that incensed Steward Xiao.

”Fang Rou intended to kill you, and that’s her fault, but obtaining this letter proves you indeed killed her; harming comrades is a capital offense in Lonely Moon Sea. Men, take Ye Lingyue to the Precepts Elder...” Steward Xiao commanded sternly.
