Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1433: Chapter 493: “Ye Lingyue” Gaining Fans and Popularity

The rise in Huangquan City’s ranking was due to the increase in its population.

But the rise in Ye Lingyue’s ranking puzzled Cheng and Ma.

When did that trash City Lord gain fame? She had no power, no fame, no looks. When Di Shen’s ranking rose, or Xi Jiuye made the list, it was because they had looks and power, charming countless women and scaring countless men to death.

It turns out this matter was related to Guangzi.

One day, the Jiu Provinces Hall collapsed, and the surrounding city residents suffered, with Guangzi helping to treat the nearby victims.

When the victims, anxious and uneasy, suddenly saw an angelic "beauty" diagnosing them, Guangzi’s medical skills were impressive, and he had a bewitching sweet talk. Instantly, he charmed men and women of all ages.

When asked about his name, Guangzi blinked and said he was the City Lord of Huangquan City, Ye Lingyue, desperately boosting his sister’s reputation and presence.

The victims thought, having suffered from unforeseen calamity, the City Lord of Xuanwu City did not come to console them, but the City Lord of Huangquan City did.

Instantly, the victims were full of gratitude, each and every one of them mesmerized by Guangzi, and in no time, hundreds to thousands became supporters of "Ye Lingyue."

And just like that, Ye Lingyue inexplicably gained a tiny bit of popularity in Xuanwu City.

However, this popularity was merely a drop in the bucket, as Ye Lingyue’s comprehensive ranking on the Jiu Provinces Earth List was incredibly low.

Yet this slight change was still bothersome to Cheng and Ma.

"Master Chen, can it be that the two of us together can’t suppress a small City Lord?"

City Lord Ma was annoyed, glaring at the grand name of "Ye Lingyue."

"City Lord Ma, I’m powerless too since the Jiu Provinces Hall is not solely under my control. But rest assured, now that the Divine Power Pool is destroyed, that old fellow Fu Sanshi has lost his actual power and will soon be marginalized. When the Jiu Provinces Hunting begins, I will assign a ’nice’ task to Huangquan City. I’m curious to see who could still shield that trash City Lord then."

Master Chen sneered twice, and City Lord Ma, upon hearing this, shifted from sunny to cloudy. Both were itching to see Ye Lingyue’s misfortune.

Speaking of which, Ye Lingyue was entirely unaware that both her Heaven and Earth List rankings had improved.

It wasn’t that she was out of touch; she simply didn’t pay much attention to the Jiu Provinces Heaven and Earth List. Besides, with the damage to the Jiu Provinces Hall, the Heaven and Earth List displayed at the city gate only showed the top 200 names. Her pitiful ranking would take forever to make the list.

It was during the waiting period for the Jiu Provinces Hunting to start that Hall Master Fu and Old Madam Fu visited, bringing Ye Lingyue some good news: due to the rise in its ranking, Huangquan City no longer needed to worry about revocation.

The Fu couple also brought Ye Lingyue another news that surprised her a bit.

Fu Sanshi had resigned from his position as Hall Master of the Jiu Provinces Hall and planned to travel the world with Old Madam Fu.

"Are you leaving Xuanwu City?"

Ye Lingyue was surprised.

"I’ve spent my whole life in Xuanwu City for the sake of the Divine Power Pool, and I owe my wife a lifetime. She was fond of traveling and exploring when she was young, but for my sake, she was stuck in this city all these years. Now that I’m still agile, we’ll take the chance to wander around."

Fu Sanshi was filled with emotion, having dedicated his life to the Divine Power Pool.

The recent destruction of the Divine Power Pool was a bit of a sadness for him, yet also a form of liberation.

He looked at Old Madam Fu’s graying hair and aging face, and the feeling of guilt was undeniable.

The Jiu Provinces Alliance was also considerate, having approved his resignation.

"But if you leave, won’t Xuanwu City entirely fall into the hands of Master Chen and City Lord Ma to do as they please?"

Ye Lingyue was worried about exactly this point.

"Heavenly Destiny as it may, with the imminent Jiu Provinces Hunting, and the Divine Power Pool collapsing at this particular juncture, whether it’s a blessing or a curse is unknown. Young girl, you must be extremely cautious going forward."

Hall Master Fu patted Ye Lingyue’s shoulder heavily.

In his words, there was much sighing.

In Hall Master Fu’s mind, he had some things left unsaid to Ye Lingyue.

He had already concluded that the Divine Power Pool’s destruction must be related to Ye Lingyue, and Ye Lingyue must have gained some heaven-defying divine power from it.

Could that divine skill have been left by the Marquis Zhongyuan of old?

If so, doesn’t it mean Miss Yue has become the heir of Marquis Zhongyuan?

Hall Master Fu wanted to ask but didn’t; after all, it was all just his assumption.

Ye Lingyue didn’t display any astonishing talent, and furthermore, there was a persistent, indescribable anxiety lingering within Hall Master Fu.

It’s good to have an heir for Marquis Zhongyuan’s divine power skill, but from another aspect, it could be bad.

The Marquis Zhongyuan hasn’t appeared in hundreds of years. The last time he appeared, Ancient Nine Provinces was plunged into chaos.

The Jiu Provinces Alliance was nearly overthrown. This time, the upcoming Jiu Provinces Hunting will be of an unprecedented scale.

But these are all matters beyond Hall Master Fu’s control now.

After being messed around by Di Shen and Xi Jiuye, Hall Master Fu was physically and mentally exhausted, feeling that compared to those young folks, his old frame was no longer up to the challenge.

Furthermore, with the Wuling City Lord present in Xuanwu City, Hall Master Fu simply packed up and left, taking his lady as far away as possible.

He disregarded the Jiu Provinces Hunting, and the Marquis Zhongyuan concerns altogether.

Seeing that the Fu couple was determined, Ye Lingyue found it hard to persuade them otherwise.

When the Fu couple left Xuanwu City, they informed only Ye Lingyue, who, along with Di Shen, saw them off.

At the city gate, Ye Lingyue took out a few bottles of Huangquan Water and several Vermilion Fruits, giving them to the Fu couple.

Seeing the Vermilion Fruit and the Huangquan Water, Fu Sanshi’s eyes lit up, and he immediately accepted them.

"Hey, you old guy, how can you take things without courtesy?"

Old Madam Fu hurriedly pulled at her husband’s clothes.

"Wife, you don’t understand, these are valuable things."

Fu Sanshi said boldly.

Ye Lingyue’s Huangquan Water had been his favorite before, but unfortunately, it was gifted by the Wuling City Lord, making him feel envious. Even if he liked it, he had to pretend otherwise.

Now that he was leaving, he no longer cared about such concerns.

However, Fu Sanshi was also embarrassed to blatantly take advantage of Ye Lingyue, who was young enough to be his great-granddaughter.

"Miss Yue, I won’t take your things for nothing. Although I don’t have anything to give you, I do have something I’d like to give to your man."

With that, Fu Sanshi took out a tattered booklet and tossed it to Di Shen.
