Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1185: Chapter 245: The Evil Curse

In his hand, warm and gentle, Ye Lingyue’s fingers had a unique softness that seemed like a current, striking directly at Bo Qing’s heart.

With such a grip from her, any anger, any thoughts of the demon being neither male nor female, vanished completely.

He glanced at Ye Lingyue, who had a pleading expression, and his heart instantly softened halfway.

A place like Qiulin Ruins, or Lin Qiu Relics, Bo Qing almost unconsciously nodded his head.

”I will definitely help you with this. Remember, what’s mine is yours. Whatever information you need, just ask.”

Bo Qing’s reply was so smooth. Poor Tan Su and the core members of the Heroic Society, when they heard the name Qiulin Ruins, their faces instantly changed.

Especially Tan Su, her eyes were fixated on Ye Lingyue’s hand holding Bo Qing’s hand.

In that moment, they looked like lovers reuniting after a long separation, filled with emotion, glaringly intimate.

”President, you joined the Heroic Society late, so there are some things you are not aware of. The matter of Qiulin Ruins is not trivial. The old president once said, it is a secret of the Heroic Society, how can you casually reveal it to others?”

Other core members nodded in agreement.

The matter of Qiulin Ruins happened before Bo Qing joined the Heroic Society. Because of Qiulin Ruins, the Heroic Society lost most of its elite in half a month.

Although few present had experienced it firsthand, they had all heard about the incident.

”What others? Tan Su, I’ve said it before, Ling Yue is one of us. Furthermore, I already intended to recruit the winners of the Underground Arena Competition into the core members of the Heroic Society, to participate in the next Wild Hunt, which, as Vice President, you’re already aware of.”

Bo Qing’s gaze turned cold, his tone indifferent.

This was a stark contrast to the tenderness he showed to Ye Lingyue earlier.

Qin Dong was one of Tan Su’s subordinates, and it was Qin Dong who almost caused trouble for Ling Yue. Bo Qing was determined to settle this score with Tan Su sooner or later.

Tan Su saw this and felt a pang of jealousy, increasing her resentment towards Ye Lingyue.

”President, according to the Heroic Society’s rules, new members joining, particularly core members, must be voted in by all core members. I believe, given the Wu Wu Team’s two members hid their identities earlier, they should not join the Heroic Society.”

”Tan Su, who exactly is the president here, you or me?”

Bo Qing’s tone was as cold as ice.

Tan Su was a veteran in the society, and many core members were Tan Su’s people. Her proposal for a vote at this moment was transparent in its intentions.

Tan Su felt anxious, clenching her teeth tightly.

Seeing the two presidents suddenly at odds, the core members of the Heroic Society looked tense.

”President, please don’t misunderstand the vice president’s intentions. Regarding the matter of Qiulin Ruins, it’s not about the vice president opposing your disclosure. It’s because the Ruins are too mysterious, and people connected to it always meet bad ends. The vice president is only concerned about you being implicated without cause.”

An old core member stepped forward, acting as a mediator.

Only then did the old core member start to explain.

It turned out that about ten years ago, during the height of his fame, the Old City Lord obtained a treasure map during a ”transaction.”

The map indicated that within the Qiulin Ruins, seventy to eighty kilometers outside Huangquan City, a treasure comparable to a Divine Artifact was hidden, and obtaining it would greatly enhance one’s power.

After learning of this, the old president selected seventeen or eighteen core members of the Heroic Society to explore Qiulin Ruins together.

Though the Heroic Society’s influence wasn’t as strong as it is now, the old president’s strength was notable, being a Half-step Divine Power Realm expert, with other core members at the Reincarnation Fifth and Sixth Paths cultivation.

Yet despite being such an elite team, upon entering Qiulin Ruins, nearly all were decimated.

Half a month after entering the ruins, only the old president and four core members barely managed to escape.

Though they escaped, none met a good end.

Among them, two died from untreated serious injuries after returning home.

Two others became mentally unstable, one hanged himself at home, and another went berserk, killing several members during a Heroic Society meeting, only to be killed by the old president.

The only one who appeared normal was the old president, but after returning from Qiulin Ruins, he aged rapidly, and his power regressed instead of progressing. It wasn’t long after Bo Qing joined the Heroic Society before Bo Qing and Tan Su designed his demise.

”In fact, after the failed exploration of Qiulin Ruins, the old president wasn’t reconciled and secretly leaked the information to the Old City Lord of Huangquan, encouraging him to explore the ruins. The subsequent events are well-known to you.”

The Old City Lord’s group also met a grim fate.

Newcomers lost their lives almost entirely, while the Old City Lord and Yuan Xing, though they managed to escape, suffered from war-induced trauma.

Since that time, rumors began circulating in the Heroic Society that Qiulin Ruins were cursed, and anyone venturing there would meet a bad end.

The Old City Lord sealed all information regarding Qiulin Ruins, forbidding anyone in the society from mentioning it.

Even after many years, the old core member couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat when recounting this eerie Chapter in the Heroic Society’s history.

The others present shivered, getting goosebumps from head to toe.

”The Vice President’s intentions are also to prevent the President from courting danger, given how ominous Qiulin Ruins are.”

Other core members present, having heard about the event, nodded in agreement.

”Actually, my father was the core member who eventually hanged himself.” Tan Su couldn’t help but tear up.

She was merely ten years old at the time and witnessed her father’s death firsthand.

She knew Bo Qing’s temper—events related to Qiulin Ruins involving Ye Lingyue, if Ye Lingyue showed interest, Bo Qing would undoubtedly accompany her without hesitation.

Qiulin Ruins are truly bizarre?

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingyue also frowned slightly.

However, the stranger it sounded, the more curious she became about Qiulin Ruins.

Moreover, she believed Divine Doctor Yun would never harm her, especially since Yun Sheng had also advised her to explore Qiulin Ruins, indicating something crucial hidden there.

Thinking of this, Ye Lingyue said.

”Bo Qing, you don’t need to fall out with Vice President Tan because of me. I have no interest in joining the Heroic Society or competing against anyone. It’s just because Qiulin Ruins are connected to the Old City Lord and my friend Yuan Xing that I want to explore it to resolve their unfinished business.”

Ye Lingyue quickly noticed Tan Su’s affection for Bo Qing, but she only saw Bo Qing as a good friend.

Nonetheless, being used as a scapegoat was something Ye Lingyue had grown accustomed to, so she directly ignored Tan Su, requesting to see all materials left by the old president regarding Qiulin Ruins.
