Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1527: Chapter 587: Underestimated Female Team Leaders

As Tang Tiansong had announced earlier, the next day, the City Lord’s Mansion issued a public task.

This public task was aimed at all representative teams throughout the city of Qiyu.

The task lasted a total of seven days, and the conditions for winning, as Tang Tiansong had mentioned, were that the top three teams with the highest number of demon beasts hunted would share all the merit points earned by the competing teams during the task.

The Huangquan Team registered for the public task on the day it was announced at the City Lord’s Mansion.

By dusk, over fifty teams had signed up for this public task, including Luo Qianche’s Shui City Team.

The next day, at the gathering point at the city gate.

Ye Lingyue and the members of the Huangquan Team arrived around dawn.

A large number of Demon Hunters were already gathered at the city gate, with more than fifty teams gathered together, totaling nearly a thousand people, although most of these people, Ye Lingyue did not know.

Since Ye Lingyue had only been in the city for a few days and hadn’t undertaken tasks since helping the Shui City Team the first time,

the Huangquan Team didn’t have any reputation in Qiyu City, so no one came forward to greet Ye Lingyue and her team.

Luo Qianche also arrived with her team, and when she saw Ye Lingyue, she just nodded slightly as a greeting.

Ye Lingyue understood her temperament and didn’t bother to curry favor, choosing a shady spot with her teammates while waiting.

While the public task had yet to begin, Ye Lingyue looked around, contemplating the strength of the representative teams in Qiyu City.

Most of those who could make it to Qiyu City were Sixth to Ninth Tier teams, significantly stronger than the ”Tian Jun” team Ye Lingyue had encountered earlier in Ah County.

Representative teams at this level generally had twenty to forty members.

Besides Ye Lingyue and Luo Qianche, the other team leaders were all men, and most were martial artists with cultivation levels in the Small Divine Power Realm or above.

Because most of the team leaders were male, female leaders like Ye Lingyue and Luo Qianche were considered anomalies.

Among the crowd, Ye Lingyue did not see Dongfang Liuli; knowing her personality, she would likely make a grand entrance at such events.

After a round of observation, Ye Lingyue had a rough understanding of the overall strength of Qiyu City’s representative teams.

Tang Tiansong and the Tang City Team were undoubtedly the strongest among them. Not only due to Tang Tiansong’s outstanding personal strength, but because he was already at the Peak of the Small Divine Power Realm, comparable in might to Di Shen and Xi Jiuye.

Moreover, half of the forty to fifty members in the Tang City Team were at the Initial Stage of the Small Divine Power Realm, equating to the total numbers of both the Huangquan and Shui City Teams combined.

However, for the sake of fairness, the public task had limitations.

Whether a Ninth-Tier or Fourth-Tier team, only ten members could participate in the public task.

This worked to the advantage of the Huangquan Team, as including Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya, the team was barely over ten members, enabling almost all of them to participate.

As Ye Lingyue observed in secret, Tang Tiansong also took notice of her.

The Tang City Team was at the peak of its fame in the city, with the Liu Guang Pavilion being smashed, causing resentment towards the Liu Guang Team, leading most teams to switch their allegiance to the Tang City Team.

Tang Tiansong did not mind these ”fence-sitters” and exchanged a few pleasantries, but when he saw Ye Lingyue, he stepped forward with a bow of his hand.

”Captain Ye, everyone.”

As Tang Tiansong took the initiative to greet a small team, the other teams curiously turned to look.

Why would Tang Tiansong greet them? Who exactly were these people?

”This is the captain of the Huangquan Team, who previously assisted the Shui City Team in completing the Heavenly Scouring Grass task a few months ago.”

Tang Tiansong’s introduction was meant to elevate the status of Ye Lingyue and Luo Qianche.

However, the team leaders showed no admiration, only disdain.

It was a Heavenly Scouring Grass (Heart Execution Grass) transport task from a few months ago when the situation around Qiyu City wasn’t as chaotic, and the Azure Dragon Crocodile hadn’t mutated yet—how hard could that task have been?

Later, it was realized that there were three thousand merit points for that task, causing regret among many teams for not taking it.

They certainly wouldn’t take on the Heavenly Scouring Grass task if it were now.

So, envy ran deep as they thought Ye Lingyue and Luo Qianche had taken on an easy task earlier.

Some even murmured under their breath.

”Having two women as captains, that Huangquan City, that Shui City Team is really useless.”

”Exactly, women should stick to logistical support, the men in those teams are truly pathetic.”

The captains of these demon hunting teams were typical male chauvinists, viewing female Demon Hunters as mere decorations responsible for cooking and mending, ideally akin to Dongfang Liuli in beauty and charm.

They would never keep someone like Luo Qianche or Ye Lingyue on their teams.

The captains didn’t even greet them, gathering around Tang Tiansong, fawning over ”Captain Tang this” and ”Captain Tang that.”

Ye Lingyue and Luo Qianche furrowed their brows upon hearing this.

Tang Tiansong, on the other hand, was embarrassed; he hadn’t expected such discrimination against women and his good intentions to be misunderstood—he simply nodded apologetically at the two.

Ye Lingyue and Luo Qianche exchanged a glance without saying much.

”In the competition, I will no longer hold back against you.”

Luo Qianche threw this out before gracefully walking away.

Although there were about fifty teams in total competing for the top three, all the representative teams knew very well that the first and second places were a dispute between the Tang City and Liu Guang Teams; their goal was the third place.

Ye Lingyue was indifferent; third place? How ridiculous, how could a mere third place possibly satisfy her?

A commotion erupted, and the once-crowded city gate had its crowd part.

Clouds of golden hue drifted in.

Upon closer inspection, it wasn’t golden clouds but indeed Dongfang Liuli.

Despite the previous days’ turmoil, Dongfang Liuli showed no signs of fatigue, her makeup as exquisite as always, clad in a narrow-sleeved Fang Venerate Robe with flowing cloud patterns made of expensive golden thread. Her slender waist and curvaceous figure instantly stirred excitement among the men.

Although the Tang City had taken the title of the first seat from her in Qiyu City, Dongfang Liuli remained as ostentatious as ever.
