Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend
Chapter 67: The Pathway Scramble

Chapter 67: Chapter 67: The Pathway Scramble

The route to the governor’s mansion only had one street, and today, as the governor’s mansion held a banquet, a considerable number of local power figures and renowned individuals from the city were invited, causing the roads to be congested with streams of carriages and throngs of people coming and going.

The Ye Family’s carriage was caught in a traffic jam alongside the Mountain and Sea Gang’s carriage.

Seated in the Mountain and Sea Gang’s carriage was Young Master Sha Zhan.

Normally, the street could accommodate two horse-drawn carriages side by side, but Young Master Sha Zhan, aiming to impress, had taken an oversized carriage drawn by four horses.

The Ye Family’s single-horse carriage was trapped and could neither move forward nor backward.

"Whose carriage is this? Oh, it’s the Ye Family. What, does the Ye Family also wish to curry favor at the governor’s banquet? The threshold of the governor’s mansion is not low; don’t tell me the Ye Family can’t even come up with suitable gifts."

Sha Zhan recognized the Ye Family’s carriage and spoke with a tone of sarcastic ridicule.

In Li City, the Ye Family was not considered a significant force, and naturally, they would not be invited to the governor’s mansion’s birthday banquet.

Sha Zhan assumed that the Ye Residence wanted to flatter and ingratiate themselves with the governor.

Sha Zhan’s loud voice drew the attention of everyone on the street.

"Miss, should we give way or not?" The Ye Family’s coachman was also visibly anxious.

"Give way? Why should we give way?" Ye Lingyue sneered coldly.

As she lifted the curtain of the carriage, she snatched the whip from the coachman’s hand and leaped out, darting from the carriage like a swift swallow.

The onlookers were dazzled to see a blue-clothed young girl seated at the front of the carriage. The girl was young and not very tall but extremely beautiful. Although her face still bore traces of youthful innocence, her brow, eyes, and nose were faultlessly set on her delicate face as if crafted by divine hands.

Moreover, her movements just now had an uncommon, striking grace.

With a flick of the long whip in her hand, the Ye Family’s carriage moved forward.

"Ignorant fool, even daring to compete with this Young Master for the road." On the other side, Sha Zhan had thought the person inside the carriage would be someone like Ye Huangxuan or Ye Huangyun; little did he know, a young girl would emerge.

And that girl was none other than Ye Lingyue, whom Song Guangyi had earlier tasked him with dealing with.

The mention of Ye Lingyue set Sha Zhan’s blood on fire.

He had originally thought that she was just a weak practitioner at the Refining Body Fifth Layer and casually sent Ba Sanquan to deal with her.

Who would have known that Ba Sanquan would inexplicably disappear.

Sha Zhan had long suspected that it was the doing of someone from the Ye Family but with no evidence of death or life, he found it difficult to outright demand an explanation.

Seeing Ye Lingyue challenging him for the road today, his anger flared up even more.

If it had been one of the Ye Family brothers who were Postnatal Masters sitting in the carriage, Sha Zhan might have reluctantly tolerated it, but the opponent was the little-known Ye Lingyue.

Relying on his own status as a Postnatal Master, he didn’t regard a Body Refinement Martial Artist like Ye Lingyue seriously at all.

Suddenly, he spread his arms wide and soared into the air, his body embodying the Roc Bird as he kicked towards the Ye Family’s carriage.

With that kick, countless foot shadows appeared, sufficient to smash even a large rock into dust, eliciting gasps and cries from nearby bystanders.

In the city, Sha Zhan was notoriously wicked, but he was not weak in cultivation. With a kick packing at least two hundred pounds of force, how could the delicate-looking girl on the carriage withstand Sha Zhan’s mighty blow?

However, at such a moment, nobody dared to rashly step forward. Offending the people from the Mountain and Sea Gang would mean inviting a storm-like, frenzied retaliation.

Just as the bystanders were all sweating cold sweat for the safety of the young girl.

Ye Lingyue saw that his intentions were baleful, her long whip rolled up in the wind and entangled around Sha Zhan’s legs.

"Oblivious to death, a mere broken whip, and you think to trap this Young Master Sha." Sha Zhan was full of arrogance, as his legs suddenly swept around in a blur, and before the whip could reach him, it was instantly torn into several pieces.

Yet, at the same time the whip was shattered, Sha Zhan suddenly felt a numbness on his legs and under his body, completely unable to exert any force in his lower body, and with a bang, he fell to the ground.

Sitting in the carriage, Ye Lingyue merely squeezed her horse’s belly, and the carriage cruelly rolled right over Sha Zhan.

"Young Master!"

The Mountain and Sea Gang members, upon seeing this, were terrified and hurried to his aid.

"You... cheated..." Sha Zhan was overwhelmed by the carriage wheels, his body and face covered with the wheel’s imprint, looking as wretched as one could be.

The most frustrating part was, he had no idea what had happened to him.

As a Postnatal Master, such wounds were nothing to him; what was fatal, however, was his condition.

When Sha Zhan fell to the ground, he felt a numbness throughout his body, which after a while, spread to every limb, making it incredibly difficult even to speak.

"What a joke, Young Master Sha. Under the clear sky, in front of hundreds of eyes, everyone saw it. How could I, a weak woman, cheat against a Postnatal Master like yourself? Just now, it was you who startled my carriage first." Ye Lingyue had already driven her carriage outside the governor’s mansion.

What made Sha Zhan even more frustrated was that as soon as Ye Lingyue dismounted from her carriage, she took out an invitation and handed it to the doorman.

"This matter... I must... seek... the governor... to argue it out," Sha Zhan was so weak that he could only stand up with the support of others.

His eyes glared at Ye Lingyue, wishing he could poke two holes in her with his gaze.

"Isn’t this Young Master Sha? It seems my father did not invite you to the banquet." Someone stepped out from the governor’s mansion. It was undoubtedly Lan Cai’er.

Turns out, two carriages created a roadblock, and Lan Cai’er, hearing the noise, came out, only to find that Ye Lingyue and Sha Zhan were having a conflict.

Lan Cai’er was worried that Ye Lingyue, when faced with the Postnatal Master Sha Zhan, would be in trouble, and was about to intervene when she witnessed the scene just now.

During the chaos, Sha Zhan only paid attention to Ye Lingyue’s long whip but Lan Cai’er’s cultivation level was much higher than Sha Zhan’s, and she saw clearly that Ye Lingyue’s long whip was just a feint. As she swung the whip, her wrist flicked and seemed to shoot something at Sha Zhan.

Sha Zhan’s sudden fall and Ye Lingyue’s action were related.

However, this discovery, Lan Cai’er would naturally not share with Sha Zhan, as she despised the Mountain and Sea Gang’s people all along.

"I am... representing... my father," Sha Zhan tried to explain.

Young Master Sha Kuang from the Mountain and Sea Gang had not been with the gang in recent days, so Sha Zhan was representing his father at the banquet.

"Hehe, I’m sorry then, Young Master Sha. The threshold of our governor’s mansion is high, and it isn’t a place that just anyone can enter. Someone, please show Young Master Sha the way back from whence he came." Lan Cai’er said with a sneer.

"Lan Cai’er... how dare you!" Sha Zhan was infuriated to be instantly given a dismissal order, his eyes rolling back in anger.

"Slap slap" Instantly, two red marks appeared on Sha Zhan’s face.

When the crowd came back to their senses, Lan Cai’er stood in her original spot as if nothing happened, as if she were not the one who made the move just now.

"How bold, Lan Cai’er is not a name you can call! I am the adopted daughter of the current Empress Dowager, the honored Princess Yingwu of Daxia. You dare to call my name directly in front of a public audience. Get lost, or the next time I see you, I’ll strike you each time I do, until even your own father will not recognize you."
