Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend-Chapter 1017 - 77: An Outburst in Silence

On Wuya Peak, the people of Xuefeng left the main hall.

"Father, how can you let that little bitch go? I almost died at her hands today."

Xue Xuan touched her neck with lingering fear, as if the chill of a blade was still there.

Xue Xuan had never suffered such a humiliation in her life, especially from a lowly servant.

"You have the nerve to speak! As my daughter, you let a servant hold a sword to your neck. You’ve disgraced the name of Xuefeng!"

Elder Xue’s right hand still tingled with numbness, unable to exert any strength. His heart was unsettled, and coupled with the earlier slight by Little Di Shen, he couldn’t suppress his lingering fury, scolding Xue Xuan loudly.

Xue Xuan, who had been pampered from a young age, had never been reprimanded like this by Elder Xue. Her eyes instantly turned red.

The people of Xuefeng had never seen Elder Xue treat Xue Xuan so harshly, and for a moment, none dared to speak.

Nearby, Elder Yue and Hong Mingyue walked over.

Hong Mingyue, having overheard Elder Xue’s words, stepped forward.

"Elder Xue, you can’t blame Junior Sister Xue Xuan for this. She’s young and inexperienced in combat. The one to blame is Ye Lingyue. I know that woman. Before she came to Lonely Moon Sea, she was cunning and deceitful, always employing various sinister tricks. Junior Sister Xue Xuan is no match for someone like her. Her mother was a lowly woman who stole other people’s husbands, and she herself has learned the art of seducing men. That little disciple of the Sect Leader must have fallen under her spell."

Hearing this, Xue Xuan immediately broke into a smile amidst her tears.

"That’s right, Father, I was so scared. That woman must know some evil skills; she doesn’t even have the Power of Reincarnation, yet her movement techniques and methods are bizarrely strange. Somehow, I fell victim to her trickery."

As Elder Xue listened and recalled Ye Lingyue’s strange strike earlier and his own numb arm, he began to believe it to some extent.

"You’re right. Elder Xue, seeing as we’ve both been elders for so many years, I’ll give you some advice: Ye Lingyue has the Sect Leader’s prized disciple backing her." Elder Yue advised "kindly."

"What a joke, Elder Yue. Are you saying that we from Xuefeng fear a mere servant? Let me tell you, in this sect competition, not only that Ye Lingyue, even the people of Wuya Peak, I won’t regard them." Provoked, a surge of hot blood rushed to Elder Xue’s head.

"That’s right. Everyone at Xuefeng is determined to win this sect competition." Ma Zhao and others echoed in agreement.

Seeing everyone from Xuefeng so confident, Elder Yue just smiled without speaking.

After the people of Xuefeng walked away, Hong Mingyue asked, puzzled.

"Master, why do you want me to incite the conflict between Xuefeng and Wuya Peak?"

Elder Yue smirked coldly.

"Silly disciple, the fiercer Xuefeng and Wuya Peak fight, the better it is for our Moon Peak. Especially for you, among the disciples at Moon Peak, you are the most talented. I hope you can capitalize on the conflict between Xuefeng and Wuya Peak to achieve excellent results in the competition."

"I will not disappoint my master."

Hong Mingyue lowered her eyes, a glint of calculation flashing within.

Despite Master Wuya having instructed all elders and the involved disciples to keep three mouths shut, the news of the Refining Hall’s people stealing the Spiritual Artifacts of Inner Sect Disciples spread throughout Lonely Moon Sea within days.

And as the rumors spread, it became increasingly unpleasant. Even some of Ma Zhao’s admirers from both the Inner and Outer Sect directly went to the Refining Hall to cause a disturbance.

But these weren’t the biggest issues. No, the most critical issue was that Ye Lingyue, in front of Elder Xue, swore that she wanted Xuefeng to pay "a blood debt for a blood debt," and that she would participate in the sect competition. This too spread quickly.

Overnight, Ye Lingyue transformed from an obscure female servant into a "famous" person throughout Lonely Moon Sea.

But this "fame" was not a good reputation.

"Shameless leech, delusional! Dares to accuse Brother Ma Zhao?"

"A servant dares say she wants to compete in the sect competition. If she has the guts, let her come out and compete with us."

"Wet nurse, wet nurse, hugging a baby every day, climbing the social ladder through a baby, that’s what you are!"

"Refining Hall, get out of Lonely Moon Sea."

These past few days, early in the morning when Refining Hall opened, jeering could be heard from outside.

The usual bustling scene in Refining Hall was nowhere to be seen.

Manager Xiong sat by the cauldron, smoking his water pipe.

The other servants all hung their heads in dejection.

That day, when Mu Shuang’s corpse was brought back, and the story was told, everyone’s eyes reddened.

"I can’t stand it anymore. I’m going to tell them that Refining Hall is innocent, that beast Ma Zhao killed Mu Shuang and framed us."

With a fierce slam of his hammer, Huang Jun made a deafening noise.

His eyes flushed red as he prepared to rush out.

Hearing those people turns the truth upside down every day, falsely accusing Refining Hall, made Huang Jun feel as if a fire was burning in his heart.

Manager Xiong dropped his water pipe, the glowing ashes scattered on the ground.

"Stay put. Until things settle, no one is allowed to cause trouble. Otherwise, you’re crossing me, Xiong Li."

"Manager!" Huang Jun fumed.

"If you’re a man, don’t act recklessly. Rushing out now achieves nothing. It only subjects us to ridicule by the Xuefeng people. To clear our name, we need irrefutable evidence, but Mu Shuang is already dead. Talking more is futile." Manager Xiong’s voice choked a little.

To him, Refining Hall was home, and though the servants might mean little to people like Elder Xue, to him, these fifteen or sixteen-year-olds were like his children.

He felt more frustrated than anyone, but what could he do?

"Manager Xiong, Mu Shuang’s coffin is ready."

At this moment, the door opened and Ye Lingyue walked in, with the Fishing Old Man beside her.

The group outside, seeing the Fishing Old Man, dared not cause trouble and dispersed. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Outside, Mu Shuang’s coffin was placed.

They carried her from the Refining Hall, her resting place beside the Galaxy Fall, because Mu Shuang had once said it was the most beautiful waterfall she had seen.

When Huang Jun saw Mu Shuang’s coffin, he couldn’t help but cry bitterly.

He liked Mu Shuang, but never had the courage to express it. Despite Mu Shuang’s petty nature and jealousy, she had secretly helped him a lot when he first came to the Refining Hall.

Unfortunately, it was all too late.

After erecting a monument for Mu Shuang, Huang Jun knelt in front of it for a long time, and only when others came to persuade him did he finally wipe away his tears.

He walked to Ye Lingyue with firm determination.

"Ling Yue, I want to join you in the sect competition."
