Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 970: Chapter 30: An Unregretful Wait

In the early morning, on the vast Xixia Plain, a bizarre tent shaped like a Mongolian tent stood tall in the morning light.

This tent seemed like an ordinary traveler’s tent, but the eerie evil qi that emanated from it informed the world that this was none other than the famed Yan City No.9 on the mainland.

Unlike the bustling past, the present Yan City No.9 appeared somewhat desolate. The reason was that the two founders of Yan City No.9, Ghost Emperor Wu Chong and Yan Jiu, were nowhere to be found. Although this news hadn’t spread, the management of Yan City inevitably experienced some impact.

A snow eagle with thick feathers flapped its wings and darted into that tent.

As the snow eagle passed through the tent, a magnificent city emerged ahead.

A ghostly figure swiftly flashed out, attempting to seize the snow eagle.

But to everyone’s surprise, the seemingly low-grade spiritual beast suddenly dodged the person’s grasp with a swift movement.

”Cluck cluck, Yan Che, it seems your skills are not up to par; you can’t even catch a little bird,”

A silvery laugh echoed as a graceful figure slid down from the city wall.

It was a young girl with a few traces of heroic spirit in her eyes. She raised her hand, her red lips moved, emitting a series of sounds akin to bird calls, the snow eagle landed on her shoulder.

The snow eagle had a letter tied to its foot.

”Aguduo, unknown objects aren’t allowed in the city, including birds. You know very well that lately, some mysterious people have been appearing in the city,”

Yan Che grumbled a bit displeased.

Compared to the time shortly after he began following Ye Lingyue, Yan Che’s bloodline from the Central Plains seemed to have suddenly revived over the past few years; he had grown significantly taller, resembling a towering pillar, his features like a carved stone sculpture, sharp and distinct, exuding a chilling aura.

This aura enabled Yan Che to effortlessly subdue the Yan Yi Envoys upon arriving at Yan City No.9.

Nowadays, he had become a valuable war general under Lan Cai’er, responsible for the defense of Yan City No.9.

”Yan Che, don’t act like a startled bird. This is not an ordinary snow eagle. I’ve communicated with it. It’s here to deliver a message; it’s a snow eagle sent from the Lonely Moon Sea.” Ever since Aguduo inherited the legacy of the Hundred Beasts Sect, her mastery of the mainland language improved significantly, often casually using idioms to mock Yan Che.

Upon hearing this, Yan Che’s stone-like face showed a trace of excitement.

Lonely Moon Sea, isn’t that the place where our master went?

Since Family Head Feng’s death, our master has been downcast.

Yan Che witnessed this and felt secretly saddened. He wished he could comfort his master, but he knew he wasn’t qualified to do so, only hiding his love deep inside.

Aguduo saw Yan Che’s reaction and a complicated look flashed in her eyes. She silently cursed him as a blockhead in her heart, ignored Yan Che, and went to find Lan Cai’er with the snow eagle.

The snow eagle from the Lonely Moon Sea is highly spiritual.

Though it could understand Aguduo’s words, if it couldn’t meet the recipient in person, it would rather commit suicide than deliver the letter.

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion, Lan Cai’er was holding some account books.

She was reviewing these accounts. Since Yan Jiu left, she had taken over Yan Jiu’s responsibilities, handling the City Lord’s Mansion’s affairs.

Lan Cai’er’s belly was already quite large, and her body had become more prone to fatigue.

After about two hours of checking, she had to exert effort to support herself, taking a few steps in the study.

Just as she stood up, Aguduo came in with a snow eagle.

”Sister Cai’er, why are you looking at account books again? Didn’t they say, you’re due soon, can’t move around. In a few days, the Feng Residence will send someone to check these accounts.”

Aguduo exclaimed dramatically as she entered.

She quickly stepped forward to support Lan Cai’er.

”I still have about a month before giving birth, it’s nothing.”

Lan Cai’er smiled.

Aguduo was also worried about her being bored in Yan City No.9, so she hurried over from the Ancient Forest.

”Sit down first, a snow eagle from Lonely Moon Sea has come with a message, it should be a letter from the master.”

Before Aguduo finished speaking, the snow eagle was already flapping its wings, landing in front of Lan Cai’er. It stared at her with its light blue eyes for some time, then raised its claws, indicating for Lan Cai’er to untie the letter from them.

Lan Cai’er heard it was Ye Lingyue’s letter and quickly opened it.

She only knew earlier that Ye Lingyue suddenly went to the Lonely Moon Sea to learn from a master but didn’t know the reason.

Ye Lingyue’s letter was written hurriedly, informing Lan Cai’er about Little Di Shen and why she went to Lonely Moon Sea. The letter also mentioned some of Ye Lingyue’s recent situations, telling Lan Cai’er to take care of herself. If Little Di Shen could restore his primordial spirit in Lonely Moon Sea, Ye Lingyue promised to find Yan Jiu again.

After finishing Ye Lingyue’s letter, Lan Cai’er’s hand was slightly trembling.

Suddenly, she started crying.

”That’s wonderful, Feng Xun isn’t dead, he’s alive again.”

Lan Cai’er always felt guilty about Feng Xun’s death. She always thought taking over Yan Jiu was the reason Feng Xun was killed.

Although she hadn’t mentioned anything these days, thinking about Ye Lingyue’s sudden disappearance and how distraught she was during that period made her feel terrible.

Moreover, although Lan Cai’er wasn’t aware that Feng Xun and Wu Zhong were the same person, she vaguely knew Yan Jiu’s disappearance was linked to both of them.

Before leaving, Yan Jiu had said he was sorry to her. He had to help his good brothers and asked Lan Cai’er to wait for him to return.

As long as Feng Xun was alive, whether he was Little Di Shen or Feng Xun, Yan Jiu would keep his promise to return.

Lan Cai’er tightly pressed the letter against her rounded belly and spoke softly.

”Baby, did you hear that? This is your godmother’s letter saying your godfather is still alive, and your father will come back someday.”

In her belly, the baby’s heartbeat was steady and strong, as if comforting Lan Cai’er or eagerly hoping that its father would safely return one day.

Outside the study, Yan Che listened to Lan Cai’er’s words, feeling both joy and melancholy.

The joy was knowing that the master had persevered, the melancholy was... the master’s heart had always belonged to that man.

Yan Che smiled bitterly, but just at that moment, a city guard came in.

The guard’s eyes were tinged with anxiety. He whispered a few words to Yan Che, causing Yan Che’s expression to change suddenly - How could it be him?

He hesitated, then knocked on the study door.

”Madam, someone outside is requesting to see you.”
