Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 964: Chapter 24: A Letter Home Is Worth a Thousand Gold

Just as Steward Xiao ordered someone to seize Ye Lingyue, her voice suddenly stuck in her throat.

The words ”Precepts Elder” hung in silence for a long time.

”Steward Xiao?”

Outside the door, a few miscellaneous servants asked curiously.

”Cough cough, it’s nothing, all of you, step back outside.”

Steward Xiao coughed dryly, her eyes incredulously landed on Ye Lingyue’s hand.

In Ye Lingyue’s hand, there appeared an Intermediate Spirit Stone.

Just as Cauldron Spirit said, Spirit Stones are scarce across the Qing Province Continent.

To be precise, the Qing Province Continent itself doesn’t have Spirit Stone mines.

Lonely Moon Sea, for some reason, has some reserves of Spirit Stones.

But most are Low-level Spirit Stones given to disciples and miscellaneous servants, with new miscellaneous servants bustling for a month to earn just one, and old servants two.

Even those at the managerial level, like Steward Xiao, only receive twenty Spirit Stones a month — the same as an Outer Sect Disciple.

Ye Lingyue’s Intermediate Spirit Stone is something only the most favored Core Disciple or even elder level within the Inner Sect possess.

For Ye Lingyue to casually produce one, it can be imagined that the person backing her is at least a Core Disciple or even an elder.

”Steward Xiao, as I’ve said before, you’re a smart person. Upon seeing this Spirit Stone, you should understand why a little miscellaneous servant without even the Power of Reincarnation can kill Fang Rou and her group. I’ve heard you’ve been at the Clothes Washing Workshop for over twenty years.”

Ye Lingyue sighed heavily.

Her words weighed heavily in Steward Xiao’s heart.

Steward Xiao had been at the Clothes Washing Workshop for twenty-five years.

Five years as a servant, twenty years as a manager, though she was fair and upright, she hadn’t received any recognition from above.

Her status remained that of a servant, never becoming an Outer Sect Disciple, never receiving any opportunity to learn martial arts.

This was the greatest thorn in Steward Xiao’s heart over the years, the inability to ascend.

”What do you mean by saying this? You don’t need to worry about my affairs.”

Steward Xiao said angrily.

”Steward Xiao, I’ve actually hidden something from you. Little Di Shen is not my brother; he’s my fiancé.”

Ye Lingyue’s words shocked Steward Xiao more than the fact that Ye Lingyue took out an Intermediate Spirit Stone.

Not siblings, but a fiancé?

This means, if Little Di Shen rises to prominence in Lonely Moon Sea, then Ye Lingyue...

Ye Lingyue may lack talent, but Little Di Shen’s talent is exceedingly remarkable. When he grows up, even if Ye Lingyue can’t cultivate, a single Primordial Power Infusion from him would be enough to greatly enhance Ye Lingyue’s cultivation.

Should Little Di Shen be a bit more defiant, it’s not impossible for him to become the new Sect Leader of Lonely Moon Sea, and then Ye Lingyue would...

The more Steward Xiao thought about it, the more intense the change in her complexion, Ye Lingyue is young, but from her earlier work fetching water, collecting Spirit Stones, and strategically killing Fang Rou, this little girl is certainly no ordinary person.

Thinking of this, Steward Xiao’s expression shifted from fear to excitement.

”Steward Xiao, take these three Intermediate Spirit Stones as my apology gift to you.”

Ye Lingyue saw Steward Xiao’s expression and already guessed her thoughts, so she smoothly handed the Intermediate Spirit Stones to Steward Xiao.

Steward Xiao silently accepted the Spirit Stones.

When Steward Xiao reopened the door and walked out, she glanced indifferently at the old servants.

”Spread the word that Fang Rou and the others intended to escape and were killed by me, the manager. From now on, Fang Rou’s position will be replaced by Ye Lingyue. Moreover, old and new servants mustn’t be discriminated against or treated unfairly. If discovered, stern punishment will follow.”

Upon hearing this, the old servants were dumbfounded; how did Steward Xiao change so suddenly? Ye Lingyue’s influence was undeniably powerful.

The death of Fang Rou and others was quickly suppressed.

Due to Ye Lingyue’s rise, the status of newcomers at the Clothes Washing Workshop changed abruptly, and Ye Lingyue became the leader among the servants, second only to Steward Xiao.

New miscellaneous servants, grateful for Ye Lingyue’s willingness to forgive past grievances, adhered to the old rules and offered their Spirit Stones. The old servants also smartly gave a Spirit Stone each as tribute to Ye Lingyue.

As a result, Ye Lingyue’s monthly Spirit Stone income soared from a stable twenty-some stones to over a hundred, yet it was still insufficient given her consumption.

Because since Cauldron Spirit awakened, its appetite grew larger.

Its daily need for Low-level Spirit Stones was five.

After sustaining a month with Intermediate Spirit Stones and the tribute from old servants, Spirit Stones quickly ran out.

Fortunately, the following day was the first day of the month, when Ye Lingyue could collect over a hundred Spirit Stones as usual.

When Ye Lingyue received a heavy bag of new Spirit Stones, she couldn’t help but contemplate, it’s been over two months since she arrived at Lonely Moon Sea.

Lonely Moon Sea is isolated, meaning she was disconnected from the outside world for over two months.

Ye Lingyue missed her mother, Princess Qing Feng, among others, but most of all, she missed her adopted sister Lan Cai’er far away in Yan City No.9.

Lan Cai’er had a troubled life, and now with Yan Jiu absent, she should be nearing childbirth.

Ye Lingyue sought information from old servants and learned that although it’s forbidden to leave Lonely Moon Sea arbitrarily, communication was possible. For a Spirit Stone, a letter could be sent anywhere in Qing Province Continent.

Ye Lingyue took advantage of the rest day to write two letters, detailing her and Little Di Shen’s situation, and went to the relevant hall in Lonely Moon Sea to send them.

Ye Lingyue’s activities at Lonely Moon Sea mostly centered around the Clothes Washing Workshop vicinity, as servants aren’t allowed to freely enter most places of Lonely Moon Sea.

Luckily, the place for sending letters wasn’t far from the Clothes Washing Workshop, and it was a public area, aptly named ”Peace Hall.”

The implication being to report safety.

Moreover, if servants or disciples encountered life and death situations by accident, Lonely Moon Sea would send the corresponding obituary through Peace Hall under the Sect Leader’s name.

Aside from sending messages, Peace Hall allows replying to letters and brings them back to Lonely Moon Sea, delivering them to the respective disciples.

Therefore, within Lonely Moon Sea, Peace Hall serves as a communication window between Lonely Moon Sea and Qing Province Continent.

Receiving letters from Peace Hall is the most joyous and also fearful event for the disciples and servants of Lonely Moon Sea, as they might bring good or bad news.
