Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1434: Chapter 494: Do You Know Ling Yue?

The book was tattered, and when Di Shen casually grabbed it, he found it to be a ”Array Refining Technique.”

This is an array chart.

”Little girl, boy, the old man is leaving. When I have time, I’ll come back for your wedding drinks.”

Fu Sanshi laughed a few times, carried the Old Madam Fu on his back, and strode away. In no time, he disappeared, leaving only his hearty laughter echoing back and forth on the wide-open official road.

”Why did the senior give you an array chart?”

Ye Lingyue glanced at Di Shen.

”The other day, after I left the Jiu Provinces Hall, that old guy came to find me and asked if I wanted to be his disciple.” Di Shen flipped through the tattered book, which recorded the lifelong studies of Fu Sanshi in various arrays.

He had heard the Wuling City Lord mention before that Fu Sanshi was an alchemist.

However, unlike ordinary alchemists, Fu Sanshi was neither skilled in alchemy nor artifact refining; he was one of the few array masters on the mainland.

Don’t underestimate array masters. A high-level array master can create formations that are invisible yet impenetrable, capable of holding back ten thousand soldiers at a single pass.

For those great cities and large demon hunting teams in the Ancient Nine Provinces, the presence of an array master can enhance their overall combat strength by a level.

The role of array masters is significant, yet those who can become array masters among alchemists are as rare as phoenix feathers.

It requires cultivators to have a clear mind and knowledge of the way of the Five Elements, Eight Diagrams, and Heavenly Destiny mathematics.

Fu Sanshi spent his entire life researching arrays.

He was already in his seventies and had always wanted to find a disciple. Unfortunately, after searching high and low, he never found a suitable candidate.

Until he met Di Shen.

Di Shen inherited Feng Xun’s talent in arrays. That day at the Jiu Provinces Hall, he destroyed all of Fu Sanshi’s arrays in one fell swoop.

Fu Sanshi was not angry. Instead, afterward, he eagerly sought out Di Shen, wanting to lure him into becoming his disciple.

He was not above dropping his dignity to go inquire of Di Shen.

This matter, Ye Lingyue had not known before.

Hearing this, Ye Lingyue became curious.

”So how did you respond to Senior Fu back then?”

Di Shen shrugged. His answer was straightforward and concise.

Not interested.

This reply nearly made Fu Sanshi explode in anger, yet he still did not give up. Before leaving, he directly left his lifetime’s works of arrays to Di Shen.

”You’re really something, rejecting the offer so many people beg Senior Fu for but can’t get.”

Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but scold Di Shen. She, too, had heard of the mystique of array masters. Not to mention other things, just the Divine Power Pool itself was arranged using special arrays.

”Wife, do you really want me to learn arrays? If so, I’ll learn them, but I have a condition. If I master one array, you owe me a kiss. If two, then two kisses. If three, then three kisses...” Di Shen squinted his attractive phoenix eyes and stroked his chin. He actually had some interest in arrays, but the opportunity to flirt with his wife was just perfect.

”Learn if you want, anyway, you’re not part of our team. I won’t argue with a rascal like you; I need to retreat and cultivate. The Jiu Provinces Hunting is about to officially begin soon.”

Ye Lingyue rolled her eyes and scampered away, with Di Shen following his wife, both of them playing and having fun.

After the two left, a tall figure sauntered out from the city gate.

Xi Jiuye’s eyes were glinting with a cold light.

”Di Shen.”

He silently recited Di Shen’s name in his heart.

”Brother Xi, congratulations on making it to the Jiu Provinces Earth List.”

Hong Mingyue followed closely behind Xi Jiuye.

After the day at the Jiu Provinces Hall, Hong Mingyue thought that her ”daredevil rescue” would bring her closer to Xi Jiuye.

But in fact, Xi Jiuye remained elusive with her.

Earlier, when Ye Lingyue and Di Shen were flirting openly at the city gate, she stood beside Xi Jiuye and could feel the cold aura emanating from him.

Hong Mingyue thought she understood men, but at this moment, standing next to Xi Jiuye, she was at a loss.

This man, with his exceptionally handsome features, noble aura, outstanding strength, all these are the assets that drive women crazy.

Yet even to those closest to him, he wouldn’t trust them.

Even while sleeping, he was guarded by the Northern Territory Thirteen Riders, leaving her no way to get close to him, let alone assassinate him.

”Do you know of a woman named Ye Lingyue?”

Xi Jiuye suddenly asked.

Hong Mingyue was shocked, almost blurting out that the name belonged to Ye Lingyue.

”The night of the night, the moon of the sky.”

Xi Jiuye explained further.

The appearance of Hong Mingyue and the Earth Evil Great Lord made Xi Jiuye harbor a sliver of hope about whether ”Ye Lingyue” had been reincarnated.

Besides the surname, even the name was the same as Ye Lingyue?

Hong Mingyue’s uneasiness intensified.

Earlier at the Jiu Provinces Hall, Xi Jiuye had uncharacteristically helped Ye Lingyue, and every time he saw Ye Lingyue and Di Shen showing affection, he would emit a chilling aura that could freeze everything, which terrified Hong Mingyue.

A voice in her heart kept reminding Hong Mingyue that Xi Jiuye must not find out about Ye Lingyue’s existence.

Hong Mingyue took a deep breath.

”I seem to have heard the name before. I remember my Hong Family’s ancestor had a female ancestor named Ye Lingyue. I’m told I look quite similar to that female ancestor.”

As soon as Hong Mingyue finished speaking, Xi Jiuye’s body shook, and he grabbed her shoulders in dismay.

”What did you say? You’re a descendant of Ye Lingyue? She... she’s now...”

”The ancestor passed away long ago, but I heard she was very intelligent and read various military strategies from a young age. Unfortunately, she was weak and died before reaching thirty.”

Hong Mingyue said, her expression dimming as she lowered her eyes to hide her astonishment.

Was it really true that the Female War God of the Northern Territory was named Ye Lingyue?

And did her appearance exactly match that of Ye Lingyue?

If all this was a coincidence, it would be too much of one.

”Dead.”

Xi Jiuye was hit hard, his heart throbbing in pain.

He looked dazedly at Hong Mingyue’s face and slowly closed his eyes.

In the end, he had missed it.

No wonder the Earth Evil Female Monarch and Hong Mingyue bore some resemblance to Ye Lingyue.

One looked similar, the other’s eyes were similar, but ultimately, they were not her.

”Brother Xi, what’s wrong with you?”

A small, smooth hand held Xi Jiuye’s hand, and Hong Mingyue asked with concern.

Xi Jiuye gazed at her, at the face that was largely similar to Ye Lingyue’s, his gaze softened somewhat.

Having determined Hong Mingyue and the Earth Evil Female Monarch were descendants of Ye Lingyue, he finally understood why he had been acting strangely before, especially his series of abnormal behaviors upon seeing the Earth Evil Female Monarch.
