Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1392: Chapter 452: The Jumping Incident

”Lin Xin, aren’t you making things difficult for others? In this entire Xuanwu City, there are probably only a few who can win against you in your specialty. If I were some people, I’d just sensibly admit defeat.”

Situ grinned, mocking Ye Lingyue.

Who doesn’t know that before Lin Xin became the owner’s wife, she was the head red card of the Red Sleeve Pavilion, skilled in chess, calligraphy, painting, and all kinds of polite arts. Her martial arts skills are also profound. Although she has just reached the Small Divine Power Realm, the various martial arts she mastered probably rival those of a secular noble family or sect.

The reason Situ and Lan Feng chose Lin Xin as their partner, aside from Situ’s admiration for her, is largely because of this reason.

Therefore, no matter what Ye Lingyue attempts, it would only be like showing off one’s meager skills before an expert like Lin Xin, making a fool of herself.

”Brother Situ, you’re teasing your sister. City Lord Ye, if you’re still hesitating, why don’t I, as your humble servant, start first? It’s a rare occasion that such an esteemed guest visits. Let me play a recently learned ’Flame Burning Song’ for you.”

Lin Xin said with a graceful sway of her waist, dismissing the women in the room and ordering a zither to be brought in.

She gave a bow and placed the zither on the table.

But instead of playing it sitting down, she suddenly twisted her snake-like waist, her water sleeves fluttering, and lightly leaped on her toes.

From her seemingly frail body surged an impressive force of Reincarnation Fire.

From her fingertips, a burst of Primordial Power shot out with a ”ding” sound, plucking the zither strings.

The strings vibrated slightly, emitting a high-pitched zither sound.

Immediately, Lin Xin plucked another string, producing another note.

The sound echoed around, while Lin Xin danced as if wound-up, her movements as graceful as floating.

With each wave of her sleeve, each breath as she plucked the strings, the blazing Fire Power transformed into music and dance, enveloping her like the morning glow.

A sweep of her sleeves caused the air to contract fiercely, compressing the Reincarnation Fire into fist-sized fireballs.

In just a few breaths, numerous fireballs floated around Lin Xin.

With a boom, the fireballs exploded like a Flame Explosion, instantly turning every table and chair inside the room into ashes. If it weren’t for the high cultivation of those in the room, the power of just one Flame Explosion would have severely injured them.

Lin Xin, albeit dainty and charming, possessed martial skills of astonishing vigor.

Especially this ’Flame Burning Song,’ which seamlessly combined Primordial Power attacks with music and dance, was simply heavenly flawless.

Without using any Spiritual Artifact, she demonstrated such power with just sleeves and a zither.

Beside her, Bo Qing, Situ, Lan Feng, and others watched with narrowed eyes, while even Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but admire her.

Lin Xin brushed her hair and glanced at Bo Qing, hoping for a word of praise, but to her dismay, Bo Qing said nothing.

The power of this martial skill, in Ye Lingyue’s view, surpassed even the Han Yue Sword of the earlier Yaochi Immortal Pavilion.

”Marvelous, indescribable. Miss Lin Xin, have you combined three martial arts into one? Truly a masterpiece of a Heavenly Person.”

Ye Lingyue clapped in admiration, looking at Lin Xin not with the animosity of a competitor, but with full appreciation.

In truth, the varieties of martial arts she knows are not many and quite diverse, such as the Ghost Sect Thirteen Needles and Little Infinite Finger, which are visually less impressive than this combination of music and fire in the Flame Burning Song.

She noticed?

After her dance, hearing Ye Lingyue’s comment, Lin Xin was taken aback.

This ’Flame Burning Song’ was indeed no ordinary first-tier martial art. It was a special martial art learned from a foundation of various skills accumulated over many years at the Red Sleeve Pavilion, where her dance could enchant souls, her zither and sound attack opponents, and her final Flame Explosion concealed a deadly threat. The combination of all three was the most powerful.

Those who saw this dance earlier only praised her beauty and skills, but none recognized it as a fusion of three martial arts.

Not even Bo Qing, Situ, and others. So, indeed, Ye Lingyue was the first to see through it, which evoked a feeling of mutual understanding in Lin Xin’s heart.

What a pity, the other party was her competitor; otherwise, they might have become friends, Lin Xin sighed silently in her heart.

”Lin Xin’s piece should be heard in heaven; it is rarely heard on earth,” Situ remarked poetically, casting a sidelong glance at Ye Lingyue, ”City Lord Ye, it’s your turn to show your ace skills.”

”Then I’ll embarrass myself, but to be honest, my forte may not be as visually pleasing as Miss Lin Xin’s.”

Ye Lingyue thought over it and decided that artifact refining would be the most reliable choice.

Just as Ye Lingyue was about to casually refine a Spiritual Artifact to show off... there was a sudden, urgent knock at the door.

”What’s going on? I told you not to disturb me unless it’s important; I’m entertaining esteemed guests,”

Lin Xin said displeased.

”Madam, something terrible has happened. There’s been a death in Chuyun Pavilion.”

At the mention of Chuyun Pavilion, Lin Xin’s eyebrows twitched. She quickly opened the door, finding the housekeeper pacing frantically outside.

”Wasn’t Chuyun Pavilion booked by Third Young Master Jin and his group tonight? How did this happen?”

Seeing the anxious look and wounds on the housekeeper’s face, Lin Xin already sensed that something bad had happened.

Currently, Xuanwu City is preparing for the Wild Hunt. Guests are arriving from everywhere, especially those from noble families and city delegations, in overwhelming numbers.

The Red Sleeve Pavilion has been fully booked, and with more people, there are more complications, leading to this incident.

”Third Young Master Jin was hosting many esteemed guests tonight. He wanted to see a sword dance and asked the four women of ’Chao Hua Xi Shi’ to perform. But since they were earlier booked by Situ and Lord Lan Feng, they arrived at Chuyun Pavilion a bit late. Unexpectedly, Third Young Master Jin demanded they perform a strip dance as an apology. Of course, the women refused. In anger, Third Young Master Jin forced them to take Tiger Wolf Pills and let an entire floor of guests humiliate them in turns. A few of us tried to intervene but were powerless to stop it. By now, those girls are probably already...”

The housekeeper, who’d been at the Red Sleeve Pavilion for years, had never encountered anything like this. He’d tried to find Lin Xin earlier but was blocked by Third Young Master Jin’s men and barely managed to escape.

”What! This is outrageous.”

Hearing this, Lin Xin was infuriated.

Forgetting the competition with Ye Lingyue, she rushed out the door immediately.

”Lin Xin, that Jin fellow is not easy to handle. We’ll go with you,”

Situ and Lan Feng, upon hearing this, were also enraged.

The four women, known as Chao Chun, Hua Xia, Xi Qiu, and Shi Dong, were the top red cards of the Red Sleeve Pavilion, famous for their swordsmanship. They have always sold their art, not their bodies, since becoming famous.

They were very close to Situ and Lan Feng, hence the delay in attending to Third Young Master Jin’s booking, leading to this situation.

Just as Lin Xin stepped out of the room, a commotion was heard from downstairs.

A woman was seen jumping down from upstairs.
