Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1008: Chapter 68: Jealous Rivalry

Xiong Li frowned upon hearing this.

He had been through this before and knew that at Mu Shuang’s age, it was the time of teenage infatuation.

In fact, among the female servants, there were not a few who, like Mu Shuang, harbored dreams of social climbing; it’s just that most of them didn’t have Mu Shuang’s looks and family background.

Mu Shuang came from the Mu Family and always considered herself superior, but she forgot that this was Lonely Moon Sea, not another place on the Qing Province Continent.

Inner Sect disciples, especially someone like Ma Zhao, who had a chance to perform well in the upcoming sect competition, would never be interested in a lowly female servant.

At most, Ma Zhao would just toy with Mu Shuang’s feelings and then discard her.

Xiong Li had seen such things too often in the Lonely Moon Sea.

With the offending disciple protected by their master or an elder, the Outer Sect’s manager simply had no way to protect the female servants under him.

But words of wisdom are hard to hear, and Mu Shuang, who was infatuated, simply wouldn’t listen.

As an elder, he wanted to remind Mu Shuang not to get infatuated with Inner Sect disciples, especially not with playboys like Ma Zhao, but seeing the gleam on Mu Shuang’s face, he sighed silently in his heart.

Oh well, it’s better to let her go deliver it herself; some things are better seen with her own eyes, so she can give up sooner.

”Alright, you go deliver it personally and collect the remaining portion of the payment. I’ll find someone to accompany you.”

As he spoke, Xiong Li looked around.

”Manager, I’ll accompany Mu Shuang,”

Huang Jun quickly stepped forward, glancing at Mu Shuang secretly, his face slightly reddened.

”I don’t need you to accompany me; you’re a big man. If we walk together, what will others think?” Mu Shuang replied with irritation. She didn’t like Huang Jun, who would often try to get close to her, and besides, being with him might lead to misunderstandings with Senior Brother Ma.

Mu Shuang looked around and finally set her eyes on Ye Lingyue.

”Ye Lingyue, you accompany me.”

Ye Lingyue didn’t expect Mu Shuang to specifically choose her to go.

”No time.”

Ye Lingyue paid no attention to Mu Shuang and focused on purifying the ore in her hands.

”Ahem, Ling Yue, you should accompany Mu Shuang. I have a few ores here that Elder Xuefeng needs; you deliver them to him. I’ll handle today’s ore task for you; you can leave directly after delivering the items.”

Fearing a confrontation between the two girls, Elder Xiong quickly gave Ye Lingyue a look.

Hearing this, Ye Lingyue thought of how Manager Xiong took care of her usually and decided it was fine; after all, accompanying Mu Shuang on the way, she could just keep silent.

As she walked out of the Refining Hall with Mu Shuang, Mu Shuang suddenly stopped, took out a gray, ragged cotton jacket and a silly bear hat from her storage bag.

”Here, for you. You dress too well and stand out too much.”

Ye Lingyue was already much more beautiful than Mu Shuang, and with her Shadow Fire Robe, walking with Mu Shuang would surely steal the attention of Senior Brother Ma. She wouldn’t let Ye Lingyue overshadow her.

Ye Lingyue rolled her eyes, just wanting to finish the task quickly, and casually put on the jacket and hat.

The Green Moon Cliff, where the Inner Sect was located, had five main peaks, leaving aside Wuya Peak where Little Di Shen was, Moon Peak where Hong Mingyue was, Xuefeng was the third peak.

There were no roads between the Outer and Inner Sects, and one could only travel using a dedicated Transmission Array.

With Manager Xiong’s token, Ye Lingyue and Mu Shuang were successfully transported to Xuefeng.

Xuefeng truly lived up to its name, with temperatures notably colder than the other main peaks, and the higher parts of the mountain often had snow.

It was said that Xuefeng was like this because each elder of Xuefeng cultivated techniques related to snow.

The disciples who cultivated here consequently had stronger physiques than those from some other main peaks.

Earlier, Four Senior Brother Qin Xiaochuan, who defeated Little Di Shen, was a disciple of Xuefeng, and in the sect competition at Lonely Moon Sea, Xuefeng had achieved victories multiple times.

Upon arriving at Xuefeng, Ye Lingyue and Mu Shuang discovered that the Transmission Array was built at the mountain’s base.

It was quite a vast Xuefeng, and it proved difficult to find Ma Zhao.

Helpless, Mu Shuang had to stop a disciple at the foot of the mountain and inquired about Ma Zhao’s residence.

Before the Mountain Guarding Disciple could answer, a snowball came flying over, hitting Mu Shuang squarely on the head.

Covered in snow, Mu Shuang gave a shiver and angrily looked at the person who threw the snowball.

When she looked, she saw a few pretty girls standing on the stairs ahead.

One of them wore a fire coat, and a few beautiful female disciples stood behind her.

Standing beside Mu Shuang, Ye Lingyue, dressed shabbily, had gone unnoticed by others, who assumed she was Mu Shuang’s follower.

”Hehe, where does this wild girl come from, what do you want with Senior Brother Ma?”

The girl in the fire coat, with a pretty face, happened to pass by; hearing Mu Shuang’s question and seeing her appearance, she pouted in displeasure.

”Junior Sister, this is Miss Mu from the Refining Hall, sent by Senior Brother Ma to refine an artifact. The item is ready and delivered to Senior Brother Ma.”

The Mountain Guarding Disciple, seeing the fiery-coated girl, was somewhat apprehensive and quickly explained.

”What did Senior Brother Ma have you refine? Hand it over to me, and I’ll give it to Senior Brother Ma.” The fiery-coated girl, upon hearing Mu Shuang’s identity, revealed a trace of disdain in her eyes.

Ye Lingyue watched silently, noting the hostility in the expression of the fiery-coated girl, thinking this girl was likely one of Ma Zhao’s romantic interests.

She tugged at Mu Shuang, advising her not to make trouble. If they couldn’t find Ma Zhao, it might be better to let the fiery-coated girl deliver it for them.

But Mu Shuang was unwilling.

”I want to give it to Senior Brother Ma personally; I don’t trust anyone else to deliver it.”

The purpose of her visit was to see Ma Zhao, and if she missed this chance, who knew when she’d get another.

”What do you mean by that? Could it be that I, the daughter of Elder Xuefeng, would covet your second-rate Spiritual Artifact? You lowly female servant, you’re clearly insulting me.”

Upon hearing this, the fiery-coated girl became furious, stormed forward in a whirlwind, and kicked Mu Shuang hard in the stomach.

Mu Shuang, unprepared, was kicked to the ground.

Having heard her adversary’s identity, Mu Shuang realized there would be trouble, yet her pride wouldn’t allow her to swallow such humiliation.

”How can you hit people indiscriminately? Even if you’re Elder Xuefeng’s daughter, you can’t just bully people.”

In her rage, she grabbed the fiery-coated girl’s hand, wrestling with her.

”So what if I’m bullying you? A lowly servant like you, no one would care if you died. Everyone, get her!”

The other female disciples standing next to the fiery-coated girl also rushed forward.
