Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1026: Chapter 86: The Secret of Heavenly Gang Bamboo

Ye Lingyue walked out of the main hall, and behind her, Hunyuan Ancestor was still exchanging pleasantries with Tiankui Palace Master.

Intermittently, voices came from behind her.

According to the plan, Ye Lingyue accidentally broke the teacup, and Hunyuan Ancestor would seize the opportunity to dismiss her, allowing her to search for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Gang Bamboo.

But Ye Lingyue messed up the plan, her thoughts were as chaotic as a tangled ball of yarn, impossible to unravel.

She stared blankly at the back of her hand, where a red mark from the hot tea remained.

What happened to her?

The burn didn’t hurt, but her heart ached like it was being squeezed.

”The Northern Territory Divine Sovereign is truly accomplished at a young age, becoming a divine master while still so young. The fact that you, Ancestor, are his trusted aide proves that you are also outstanding among the main gods.”

Flattering words drifted over slowly.

From the Tiankui Palace Master’s tone, it seemed that Hunyuan Ancestor was under the Northern Territory Divine Sovereign’s command, and he (she) was the one wanting to obliterate her soul.

What deep grudge was there between her and the Northern Territory Divine Sovereign, that he would use such vicious means to torment her?

Ye Lingyue roared inwardly, but no one gave her an answer.

Her hands unknowingly clenched into fists, her nails digging into her palms. Ye Lingyue bit her lip, her eyes gleaming with a crimson hue she herself hadn’t noticed.

An unprecedented hatred, like a storm, filled her chest. The hatred made Ye Lingyue’s blood boil.

”What is happening to me?”

Realizing her unprecedented loss of control, Ye Lingyue was startled.

She released her grip and saw five crescent-shaped nail marks left on her palm. How could a few words make her hate someone so much?

Even more than Hong Fang, the man who had ruined her and her mother’s lives, she felt a greater hatred.

Ye Lingyue took a few deep breaths, forcing herself to move. She knew if she lingered any longer, hearing more about the Northern Territory Divine Sovereign would cause her emotions to spiral out of control.

The Divine Realm was too far away.

Even if she sought revenge, she had to wait until her wings were fully grown. One day, she would personally ascend to the Divine Realm and ask that exalted sovereign why he wanted her dead.

After simply treating her wound with Cauldron Breath, Ye Lingyue pretended to be nonchalant and wandered around the Tiankui Hall.

The Tiankui Hall wasn’t large; it was smaller than the Beiqing Imperial Palace or the Daxia Palace she had been to before. Its layout was much simpler compared to an ordinary Royal Garden.

However, all the buildings here were built with the finest materials, the floor tiles made from Lao Mountain’s white jade, the walls embedded with equally sized Merfolk Pearls, and even the columns were crafted from precious ores Ye Lingyue didn’t recognize, not to mention the aromatic spiritual flowers and herbs planted here that bloomed all year round.

The entire Tiankui Hall could be toured in about an hour. Along the way, Ye Lingyue didn’t encounter any checkpoints, only occasionally meeting a few patrolling Heavenly Gang Warriors who, seeing she was a guest, didn’t question her much.

At this moment, Ye Lingyue turned a corner.

Before her eyes, a bright light appeared, revealing a grove of gold-blazing bamboo.

The bamboo leaves were as brilliant as morning stars, but what impressed Ye Lingyue most were the thriving sections of bamboo.

Small clusters of fire danced on the bamboo stems, rich with fire spiritual power — the Heavenly Gang Bamboo.

The size of the bamboo grove was just as Hunyuan Ancestor had earlier inquired, about two acres.

There were roughly over a hundred Heavenly Gang Bamboos.

Just as Ye Lingyue was about to move closer for a better look, a thunderous voice suddenly shouted.

”How dare you, this is a restricted area of the Tiankui Hall, trespassers are not allowed.”

As the words fell, two squads of Heavenly Gang Warriors approached from the north and south, numbering over a hundred, far more than the soldiers Ye Lingyue encountered earlier.

Obviously, the Tiankui Palace Master had heavily guarded this area. If Ye Lingyue wasn’t a guest, she would have been killed by these soldiers without warning.

”Dear sirs, I’m truly sorry, I’m here as a guest and accidentally wandered here.” Ye Lingyue quickly replied, secretly pondering.

It seemed the Heavenly Gang Bamboo was very important. Could it have other uses besides being firewood?

Master Zi previously didn’t mention any other uses for the Heavenly Gang Bamboo?

If the Tiankui Palace Master heard Ye Lingyue’s remark, he would probably be fuming with rage at the thought of using the Heavenly Gang Bamboo as firewood — a wasteful act beyond imagination.

”No, I must find a way to uncover the real purpose of this Heavenly Gang Bamboo.”

Ye Lingyue planned secretly, her eyes darting around, figuring out how to inquire about the use of the Heavenly Gang Bamboo while the Tiankui Palace Master wasn’t around.

”Seeing as you are a guest, leave immediately, or don’t blame us for being impolite.”

The Heavenly Gang Warriors saw Ye Lingyue’s charming beauty and clear eyes, not realizing the mischief brewing in her mind.

”I’ll leave right away. Guard Commander, my memory isn’t great, and I got lost on my way here. Could you escort me back to the main hall where my great master is discussing matters with the Tiankui Palace Master?”

Ye Lingyue was just about to turn back when she suddenly showed a troubled expression, her beautiful eyes flickered as she fixated on a guard commander-like Heavenly Gang Warrior.

Ye Lingyue was already attractive, and with her deliberate act, the warrior, being gazed upon with such affection, felt his bones lighten and his soul float away, readily agreeing to escort Ye Lingyue back alone.

After walking a short distance, until no other warriors were in sight, Ye Lingyue discreetly took out the ”Confusing Heart Drum” she had refined with Gua Niu’s soul earlier.

Earlier, she had heard from the Cauldron Spirit that the ”Confusing Heart Drum” could control one’s soul, a chance she hadn’t had to experiment with before.

With a gentle tap on the Confusing Heart Drum, the drum surface quivered slightly.

Ye Lingyue felt a wave of unique spiritual power radiating from the encouragement.

The Heavenly Gang Warrior ahead, captured by that wave of spiritual power, abruptly stopped.

He hesitated, turned around, and looked at Ye Lingyue.

Seeing this, Ye Lingyue struck the drum repeatedly, the sound tugging at his heartstrings, resonating deep within.

His eyes gradually grew more dazed until he was utterly befuddled.

”Listen, answer whatever I ask.”

The Heavenly Gang Warrior nodded in agreement.

Ye Lingyue glanced around swiftly and asked.

”What is the use of the Heavenly Gang Bamboo, why does the Tiankui Palace Master value it so much, and what is the connection between the Tiankui Palace Master and the Divine Realm?”
