Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend
Chapter 1391 - 451: Show Your Specialty
It was just a seemingly casual remark, but it had infinite magic power as if the earlier furious Bo Qing was like a lion whose fur had been smoothed, suddenly quieting down without saying a word.
Ye Lingyue and Bo Qing both understood that to rise at the Jiu Provinces Hunting, relying only on the current members of the Huangquan Team was not enough. Although Lan Feng and Situ were currently not convinced by Ye Lingyue, there was no doubt they would make great allies.
Seeing Bo Qing’s drastic change in attitude within moments, Lan Feng couldn’t help but feel astonished, and when he looked at Ye Lingyue, his eyes were full of scrutiny.
Bo Qing’s temper seemed gentle, but in fact, he was more capricious than Situ. Yet Ye Lingyue managed to calm him down with just a few words. Was Bo Qing truly bewitched or...
"Bo Qing, you gave in just like that? You listen to whatever that woman says? Are you even a man, or have you really become this woman’s lackey? The grand Chairman of the Heroic Society actually became a useless lackey. A lackey, bark some for us."
Situ, noticing Bo Qing’s silence, was both angry and disdainful.
"Who are you calling ’lackey’?"
Ye Lingyue shouted sternly.
Bo Qing was her friend, and she couldn’t allow Bo Qing to be so insulted because of her.
"The ’lackey’ naturally refers to Bo Qing... I spit, you woman, how dare you indirectly curse me? Don’t think that just because you’re a woman, I can’t do anything to you."
Situ was slow to react, but when he realized Ye Lingyue was targeting him, he was immediately ready to explode.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a woman came in from outside. She had a cherry mouth, willow leaf-shaped eyebrows, and a beautiful face like a peeled egg, full of grace.
"Situ, who made you so furious?" As soon as the woman entered the door, her affectionate gaze involuntarily fell on Bo Qing, but Bo Qing merely sipped his wine, ignoring her.
"Lin Xin, you came at just the right time. Bo Qing, we came to tell you that we’ve found a replacement for Tan Su. It’s Miss Lin Xin, the owner of the Red Sleeve Pavilion."
When Situ saw Lin Xin, he seemed like a different person. Looking at him, with his flushed face as if drunk, Ye Lingyue immediately knew this guy was here for a reason other than drinking.
Miss Lin Xin was the owner of the Red Sleeve Pavilion. At the age of twenty-six, she had firmly established herself in a place like Xuanwu City, not only due to her smooth character and interpersonal skills but also because of her impressive cultivation.
Though she was merely a madam, she had Small Divine Power Realm cultivation, albeit weaker in Primordial Power compared to Bo Qing, Situ, and Lan Feng, evidently having just broken through to the Divine Power Realm not long ago.
In such a complex environment, she managed to continue cultivation, making her a self-disciplined woman.
Lin Xin seemed to have some feelings for Bo Qing, which was plain to see.
When Bo Qing first visited the Red Sleeve Pavilion, Lin Xin had just succeeded as the owner not long before. Coincidentally, she encountered several Divine Power Realm martial artists causing trouble. Nobody at the Pavilion dare to help, but Bo Qing gallantly saved Lin Xin.
From that moment, Lin Xin started to have feelings for Bo Qing, but at that time, Bo Qing had his ’bosom friend’ Tan Su by his side, who was domineering and constantly guarded against Lin Xin.
Later, Lin Xin learned of Tan Su’s incident, and Bo Qing’s team lacked manpower, so she strived secretly and finally broke through to the Small Divine Power Realm. Just then, Situ showed some interest in her, which she used to gain the opportunity to collaborate with Bo Qing.
She thought everything would go smoothly, but unexpectedly, Bo Qing brought another woman at such a time.
Lin Xin glanced at Bo Qing after seeing his face without the human skin mask, feeling her heart skip a beat.
Then she looked at the inconspicuous Ye Lingyue standing aside and relaxed a bit; the opponent indeed seemed very weak.
"Lin Xin is a great helper, but I’ve already chosen my partner; it can only be City Lord Ye. Situ, Lan Feng, are you trying to break up with me?"
Bo Qing noticed Lin Xin’s affectionate gaze but he was never one to dote on beauty. At this moment, his heart was like iron, ignoring it.
"Bo Qing, don’t misunderstand. Situ was simply speaking recklessly out of urgency. We don’t want to lose you as a partner. In my view, let’s not be stubborn. How about having Miss Lin Xin and City Lord Ye compete, and whoever wins, we collaborate with them? Simply put, if Miss Lin Xin wins, we’ll re-form the Heroic Team. If we lose, Situ and I will unconditionally join the Huangquan Team, under City Lord Ye’s leadership."
Lan Feng, unwilling to damage harmony, proposed a compromise.
"This competition is unfair; sometimes a team’s members don’t rely solely on strength." Bo Qing naturally protected Ye Lingyue. Although he knew Ye Lingyue’s true strength might not be less than his own, he didn’t want any accidents.
"Chairman Bao, if you think it unfair, Lin Xin has a suggestion. We won’t compete solely on Primordial Power; let’s each show our most skillful ability, judged by you three. Whoever’s skill is superior wins."
Lin Xin was also clever; she could see Bo Qing’s exceptional affection for this City Lord Ye. Even if she won by Primordial Power, Bo Qing might not agree to let her join. Why not do a good deed?
Lin Xin, aged thirteen or fourteen, began establishing herself at the Red Sleeve Pavilion. Unlike other women who stayed there out of fear of hardship, many dreaming of attracting an influential person to rescue them, she instead used her resources as a woman to network with several Great Powers over the years.
Her cultivation was gradually acquired from these Great Powers.
Lin Xin was an ambitious woman, not planning to stay at the Red Sleeve Pavilion forever. This Jiu Provinces Hunting was a great opportunity.
"Compete on skill?"
Ye Lingyue and Bo Qing hadn’t expected Lin Xin to make such a proposal.
Especially Ye Lingyue, who was pondering what her best skill was.
Artifact Refining? Alchemy? Or summoning a bunch of little beasts for a brawl, all seemed possible. But which one to choose?
Ye Lingyue furrowed her brows, wondering which choice wouldn’t discourage others.
Yet Ye Lingyue’s grim look seemed entirely different to the others. To Situ, Lan Feng, and the others, it appeared this inept City Lord had no special skill at all.
