Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1120: Chapter 180: Is It Really an Illness?

”If you’re sick, you need treatment. As the City Lord, do you lack even this basic knowledge?”

Ye Lingyue was infuriated upon hearing this.

”I told you, no one can treat it. And do you think that as the City Lord, I haven’t tried to find a way to treat it over the years?”

The Huangquan City Lord was quite agitated.

Over the years, she spent her entire fortune, searching far and wide for various elixir recipes, but none of the elixir pills were effective for her father’s illness.

”Then you shouldn’t have locked people up. Have you considered that if you returned even a day later, Xiao Chun and I might both have died because of your secrecy?”

Thinking of the Old City Lord’s previous appearance and terrifying strength caused Ye Lingyue’s scalp to tingle.

Without the Demon-binding Rope, the Old City Lord was like a wild beast that had escaped its cage.

Afraid that, in all Huangquan City, few could match him.

”Do you think I want to imprison my biological father? I did so because of my father’s last will. When he discovered he was ill, he made arrangements for after his death. He asked me to kill him before his illness acted up. Unable to bring myself to do it, I locked him in the rock garden. That rock garden was specifically developed by him to control his illness.”

The Huangquan City Lord had bottled this matter up for many years. In anger, she took out a letter and tossed it to Ye Lingyue and Si Xiaochun.

”It’s indeed the Old City Lord’s handwriting.” Si Xiaochun looked and saw the letter corroborated the Huangquan City Lord’s account.

After leading Huangquan City’s newcomers and completing a novice project, the Old City Lord encountered an ambush, with nearly all newcomers dead or injured.

The Old City Lord returned to Huangquan City severely injured, recovering gradually, but noticed his temperament becoming increasingly erratic.

Even to the point of horrific blood-drinking and flesh-eating.

After seeking renowned doctors and alchemists worldwide, his condition worsened. Finally, he resolved to end it and pleaded with his only daughter who knew his condition, Si Yun, to act. Si Yun couldn’t bear to do it and imprisoned him once she assumed the role of City Lord.

Regarding those Heavenly Sword Hemp and the spiritual patterns on it, they were precautions set by the Huangquan City Lord to prevent the Old City Lord’s condition from spiraling out of control and escaping the City Lord’s Mansion.

Young, Si Yun had learned spiritual pattern engraving, a fact even Si Xiaochun was unaware of.

Si Yun’s recent departure from Huangquan City was driven by rumors of a Fang Venerate-level Divine Doctor in a neighboring city, whom she visited seeking a cure for her father. The Fang Venerate concluded that the Old City Lord’s illness was incurable.

This left the Huangquan City Lord disheartened further.

She hadn’t anticipated Ye Lingyue discovering a solution to crack the Heavenly Sword Hemp’s spiritual pattern during her absence.

”That’s the truth of the matter. Ye Lingyue, I’m thankful you saved Xiao Chun—after my father became like this, Xiao Chun is my only family. But you overturned the Heavenly Sword Hemp, causing my father nearly to escape. Combined, these offset each other, so I won’t hold you accountable. You may leave.”

Si Yun seemed to age several years, sighed, and motioned to return the Old City Lord.

”Wait a moment, he’s sick, are you also sick? Who says the Old City Lord’s illness can’t be treated? I can treat it.”

Ye Lingyue interjected, stopping Si Yun.

”You can treat it? Aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue with your boast? Who do you think you are?”

Si Yun was skeptical of Ye Lingyue, particularly when even a Fang Venerate-level Divine Doctor declared it incurable, yet this young girl dared to make such claims.

”I’m Ye Lingyue, disciple of Zitang Su. Do you think Zitang Su accepts disciples casually? If you don’t believe, I can treat Xiao Chun first.”

Ye Lingyue gestured for Si Yun and the Huangquan City Lord to move the Old City Lord into the house.

Old City Lord’s room had been tidied up by the diligent Xiao Chun.

The room was very neat.

Si Xiaochun and Si Yun clearly doubted Ye Lingyue’s ability to treat, but when Ye Lingyue stopped the bleeding and pain on Si Xiaochun’s shoulder with White Tripod Breath in mere minutes, causing the wound to rapidly scar, the pair were stunned.

Especially Si Xiaochun; it was his second encounter with Ye Lingyue’s medical skills. He remembered when Ye Lingyue’s hand touched his wound.

Similar to the time his Primordial Power was depleted, an inexplicable mystical force revitalized his body.

He stammered.

”Ling Yue, your magical treatment technique can heal both internal and external injuries?”

Ye Lingyue nodded ambiguously.

”Now, do you believe in my medical skills?”

The Huangquan City Lord remained noncommittal.

She was not as easy to deceive as Si Xiaochun was; the supposed magical treatment technique must be false.

However, seeing Ye Lingyue treat such a severe external injury without any elixir pills, Si Yun began to harbor some trust in Ye Lingyue.

”I remember Zitang Su only practiced alchemy and artifact refining, not treatment. Who taught you your medical skills?”

Si Yun remained cautious.

After all, she had long diagnosed her father’s illness as not ordinary external or internal injuries, making it exceptionally challenging.

”I never said I only had one master. These medical skills were learned from two reclusive elders you’d never recognize. The Old City Lord is still conscious; while he is immobilized, I need to diagnose closely. Also, record his symptoms during past flare-ups. Xiao Chun, you rest first; I’m capable with Little Bunny here.”

Ye Lingyue waved her hand, dismissing the two.

Despite their confusion, Si Yun and Si Xiaochun left to rest and attend to tasks, respecting Ye Lingyue’s instructions.

Only Ye Lingyue and the immobilized Huangquan City Lord remained in the room shortly.

”Old City Lord, I know you can understand me; my apologies for the intrusion.”

Ye Lingyue respectfully nodded.

The immobilized Old City Lord glared menacingly at Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue, unapologetically, took out shears and shaved the Old City Lord completely.

She then used White Tripod Breath, permeating his body.

When black tripod breath entered the Old City Lord’s body...

Ye Lingyue, adept at using tripod breath for healing, knew it well.

Thinking she could quickly identify the Old City Lord’s illness, planning to devour the cause with tripod breath, Ye Lingyue was confident earlier. Assuming the Old City Lord’s treatment was akin to her mother’s.

However, this time, the Old City Lord’s illness surprised Ye Lingyue.
