Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1453: Chapter 513: Guangzi’s ”Shadow Area

The group was ultimately convinced by Ye Lingyue to investigate the origins of the Array Master first.

However, there were still some issues in terms of assigning personnel.

In the entire Ah County, there were a total of eighteen villages, and all of these villages had a Water Spirit Array secretly set up in them.

Yet, the Huangquan Team had only eleven people, and one of them, Guangzi, could only be counted as half a person at best. So they were still short by about eight people. Would they really have to send out even Little Wuya and Little Zhiyo?

Just as Ye Lingyue was in a bind, the ”Tian Jun” team came knocking.

Captain An, who had his bones broken by Ye Lingyue a month ago, surprisingly came to offer a sincere apology, in a complete turnaround from his previously unreasonable demeanor.

”Captain Ye, please don’t hold a grudge against a petty person for something done in the past. I misunderstood Captain Ye back then. I heard Captain Ye is short on people; how about including our ’Tian Jun’ team? We have eighteen to nineteen people. As long as Captain Ye agrees, my brothers and I can be at your disposal.”

Captain An somehow learned that the village droughts were man-made and that the Huangquan Team was thoroughly investigating the matter.

Seeing Captain An’s earnest expression, Ye Lingyue thought for a moment and agreed to his request. At the moment, she indeed lacked manpower and needed some people to guard the county government.

”Captain An, then dispatch a few of your men to monitor the Water Spirit Array in the remaining eight villages. If there is any movement, notify me immediately.”

After receiving Ye Lingyue’s orders, Captain An hurriedly answered and wasted no time in organizing his men.

As soon as Captain An left the county government, a few of his subordinates approached him, visibly displeased.

”Captain, are you really planning to take orders from that blonde girl? Don’t forget, she embarrassed you greatly last time.”

”You don’t understand. Small patience leads to big plans. This woman has some tricks up her sleeve; that Water Spirit Array isn’t just any ordinary gimmick. I have a hunch that we might really achieve great success this time. However, the merit, of course, will belong to us, the ’Tian Jun’.

Captain An said cunningly.

When Ye Lingyue privately opened the granary earlier, Captain An didn’t report immediately not because he didn’t want to, but because he found out that the female captain of the Huangquan Team was the City Lord of Huangquan City.

Although Huangquan City was just a small town, due to the earlier incidents with the Huangquan Water, it had become a hot spot in the Ancient Nine Provinces, and Ye Lingyue’s status rose accordingly.

Therefore, the issues in Ah County, even if reported, would be empty words if the City Lord of the neighboring city dared not pursue them.

Captain An was thinking of waiting a few months until Ah County couldn’t produce enough grain and then reporting it to the Jiu Provinces Alliance.

But then, as he covertly observed, he found that in the drought-stricken villages, wells began producing water one after another, and crops were being watered in time.

The previously withered crops miraculously revived and were growing vigorously.

If this continues, in a few months, the grain in the North Warehouse would be sufficient again.

Captain An’s perfect plan would be in vain.

Still, Captain An was unwilling to give up, grateful that he had heard about the Water Spirit Array just in time.

Behind the Water Spirit Array, there must be a powerful Array Master. Regardless of whether this master was a friend or an enemy, if he was an enemy, capturing him could eradicate the drought, which would undoubtedly be a great achievement.

If he was a friend, Captain An entertained the idea of persuading this Array Master to join the ”Tian Jun” team.

With a Low-level Array Master, the strength of ”Tian Jun” would certainly rise.

Embracing this thought, Captain An lowered his face to seek out Ye Lingyue.

Captain An was secretly pleased with himself, but he didn’t realize that as soon as he left the county government, a shadow followed him toward the village.

Meanwhile, after entrusting Captain An with the eight villages, Ye Lingyue started arranging the personnel.

”Listen up, everyone. The prowess of a low-level Array Master is anything but ordinary. Our task in this secret ambush is solely to investigate the origins of our opponent, and we must not act rashly. I have some Invisibility Elixirs here; after taking them, everyone is to stay hidden. Once you spot any enemy activity, notify everyone immediately, but do not engage on your own.”

For safety’s sake, Ye Lingyue gave everyone two Invisibility Elixirs and one Flying Elixir.

Having absorbed many Cauldron Pieces, the Qian Cauldron allowed her to refine these Elixir Pills with much improved efficacy compared to before.

After giving her orders, everyone dispersed.

When it came to choosing which villages to monitor, Ye Lingyue thought for a moment and chose the ancient well in Pan Village as her station.

As for Guangzi, Ye Lingyue was not comfortable letting him act alone, so she decided to have him follow her.

The others also headed to their respective villages.

At night, everything was still, and the villagers in Pan Village gradually went to bed.

Ye Lingyue and Guangzi discussed for a while, and after some tough inner struggles, Guangzi still decided to stay with Ye Lingyue at the ancient well.

Descending into the well, Guangzi was entirely uncomfortable in the chilling environment.

Yet, despite this, he put on a brave front and said, with his voice trembling.

”Ling Yue, don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you.”

”Guangzi, it should be me saying that to you. Why do you insist on sticking with me when the village Fourth Brother went to has the Water Spirit Array by the stream, which is way more comfortable than this old well?”

Ye Lingyue helplessly extended a hand for Guangzi to hold onto.

The brat even took advantage, clinging to Ye Lingyue like an oversized infant and not letting go.

”Afraid you might slip away if I’m not paying attention.”

Guangzi muttered to himself as if soliloquizing.

Guangzi carried psychological shadows from his past. When their mother wanted to send him to Futu Heaven to study medicine, upon hearing that he would be separated from Sister, he absolutely refused.

In the end, it was Sister’s sweet talk that persuaded him, claiming she’d accompany him to Futu Heaven to study medicine.

Guangzi was just a child then, and he truly believed it.

He eagerly followed their mother and Sister to Futu Heaven.

Sister did stay with him in Futu Heaven for a day.

But the next morning, upon waking, Sister and Mother were gone! Just like that, gone!

Later, when Guangzi heard of Sister’s fall, he was always tormented by guilt, thinking that had he stopped Sister from leaving that day, maybe she wouldn’t have encountered Xi Jiuye, and met with such a soul-crushing end.

This time, with the Water Spirit Array incident, Guangzi felt an inexplicable sense of strangeness, so he couldn’t allow Sister to face it alone.

Thinking of this, Guangzi tightened his grip on Ye Lingyue’s hand, just like when he was a child, refusing to let go no matter what.

The two sat waiting by the ancient well, beside which the Water Spirit Array glowed like a firefly.

An hour passed, then two hours passed, and it was already deep into the night outside.

Inside the ancient well, silence prevailed.

In the latter half of the night, Guangzi grew drowsy and, to his disgrace, fell asleep again.
