Free Web NovelChapter 1417: Chapter 477: Quarreling Sweethearts
Contesting with a firefly is inherently unwise.
Moreover, Gong Linxin has already found her own happiness.
Putting aside the feelings for Bo Qing, the two women felt more at ease, and Gong Linxin took out a piece of a Jade Dishware, handing it to Ye Lingyue.
"This is the Divine Power Disk for entering the Divine Mechanism Pool. Tomorrow at dawn, bring the Divine Mechanism Disk to the Jiu Provinces Hall, and someone will guide you into the Divine Power Pool."
Ye Lingyue saw that Jade Dishware; it looked no different from a typical Jade Pendant, but carved with some runes that seemed to contain a certain mysterious power.
"By the way, there’s one more thing I need to remind you of. That night at the Red Sleeve Pavilion, Xi Qiu overheard Third Young Master Jin mentioning that he seems to have also obtained a Divine Power Disk, and he should also be entering the Divine Power Pool, so you must be careful."
Those who have obtained a Divine Power Disk enter the Divine Power Pool together, and with Ye Lingyue being alone, Gong Linxin worried that the Jin family’s people might harm her.
After all, once inside the Divine Power Pool, no one from the outside can assist you.
"Thanks for the warning, I will be careful and cautious."
Ye Lingyue nodded.
That night, Ye Lingyue slept well, and when the tenth day came, just after dawn, Ye Lingyue arrived outside the Jiu Provinces Hall.
At the entrance of the Jiu Provinces Hall, she saw Di Shen and the Wuling City Lord.
It turned out that Di Shen had learned that Ye Lingyue was going to challenge the Divine Power Pool, and he came to support her.
"Congratulations, City Lord Ye, I already heard about the Huangquan City incident."
The Wuling City Lord smiled and congratulated Ye Lingyue. To be able to attract so many immigrants in such a short time, not even the Wuling City Lord, who has been the Old City Lord for decades, could compare.
"Old City Lord, I happen to have something to ask you. Do you know a couple surnamed Fu? They helped me a lot a few days ago, and Old Madam Fu asked me to greet you."
Ye Lingyue saw the Wuling City Lord, remembering an unusual encounter on the street a few days ago.
"Haha, you must be talking about Fu Sanshi and Rong Ying. They are both childhood friends of mine. Speak of the devil, and he shall appear."
The Wuling City Lord laughed heartily.
Then they saw Hall Master Fu stride out from the Jiu Provinces Hall, enraged.
"Zheng Tangzu, you old singleton, why are you at the Jiu Provinces Hall again? I’m telling you, stop having ideas about my wife."
"What do you mean by that, Hall Master Fu? I’m just here to visit Ying Rong. She’s endured a lot of grievances following you all these years."
When the Wuling City Lord saw Fu Sanshi, they both ignored the fact that they were renowned masters, showing no superstar demeanor at all and started quarreling loudly at the Jiu Provinces Hall entrance.
Zheng Tangzu?
Ye Lingyue and Di Shen were both taken aback; they usually called the Wuling City Lord just City Lord and never knew his full name was Zheng Tangzu.
Zheng Tangzu... Hall Master Fu, who’s really the main character here?
Ye Lingyue glanced at the Wuling City Lord and Fu Sanshi, unable to hold back her laughter.
Di Shen stood lazily by the side, glancing idly at the two squabbling elders, gently patting his wife’s back to prevent her from laughing too hard.
"Don’t think I don’t know, you’re pretending to bring some Huangquan Water, supposedly for me, but it’s just to curry favor with my wife. I’m telling you, I don’t care about any Five Spirits Object; I’ll smash them all."
"You old ghost, you’ve had this bad temper for all these years, and perfectly good Huangquan Water got smashed, causing Ying Rong to line up for you and nearly get injured, yet you have the nerve to talk."
The two old men sparred verbally, revealing trivial matters from their years gone by.
Ye Lingyue and Di Shen finally gathered that these two elders were good brothers in their youth and both promising youths of the Jiu Provinces Alliance, but their bond was soured over pursuing Old Lady Ying Rong.
Later, Hall Master Fu won the beauty and, to prevent his wife from being wooed away, secretly maneuvered to place the Wuling City Lord in the most distant Wuling City from Xuanwu City, rarely leaving the city, fearing the Wuling City Lord would come to steal his wife.
The Wuling City Lord seldom visited Xuanwu City, but before old memories could be rekindled with Old Madam Fu, Hall Master Fu drove him away.
"You two old geezers, had enough squabbling? At your age, still yelling nonsense outside the Jiu Provinces Hall; you may not care about face, but I still do."
Old Madam Fu, hearing the commotion, came out with a lion’s roar, silencing Hall Master Fu and the Wuling City Lord instantly like extinguished firecrackers.
"Miss Yue, why didn’t you tell the old lady you were coming so I could prepare some nice food for you?" Old Madam Fu turned to see Ye Lingyue, her face breaking into a bright smile, warmly calling her ’Miss Yue’.
She then glanced at Di Shen, who stood by Ye Lingyue’s side.
"Is this your man? He’s quite handsome and robust; your taste is far better than mine when I was young."
"What’s so great, just a pretty boy, nice to look at but useless," Fu Sanshi muttered nearby.
"Shut your mouth, better than you, neither nice to look at nor useful. Stop embarrassing me here, the time’s up, yet you’re not going to your broken pool."
Old Madam Fu said with a stern face, not amused.
"What broken pool, it’s the Divine Power Pool, Divine Power Pool I’ve told you countless times. You old hag, always bulling me when you see Zheng Tangzu."
Hall Master Fu grumbled again.
"Old Madam Fu, is Hall Master Fu the one in charge of overseeing the Divine Power Pool? I’m actually here to challenge the Divine Power Pool, and I’ve heard there are divine power skills left by grandmasters inside it."
Ye Lingyue had not expected Fu Sanshi’s main duty at the Jiu Provinces Hall to be overseeing the Divine Power Pool.
"You think you can challenge the Divine Power Pool?"
Hall Master Fu glanced at Ye Lingyue, immediately noticing she lacked the Power of Reincarnation.
He wasn’t fond of Ye Lingyue, mainly due to the Huangquan Water, which had made him see her and the Wuling City Lord as one group.
Not to mention his wife had a special fondness for this little girl.
Because of a severe injury he suffered in his youth, Old Madam Fu could not have children, and he and his wife had no offspring.
Since meeting Ye Lingyue, Hall Master Fu had felt his affection stolen, with his wife constantly praising ’Miss Yue’ to him, treating Ye Lingyue almost like a granddaughter, making Hall Master Fu feel sour, naturally leading to a poor attitude towards her.
"Old Man Fu, what are you talking about? What’s so great about your broken pool, I’m telling you, once she’s in the Divine Power Pool, you must protect Miss Yue. If she loses a single hair, I’ll pack up immediately and move to Wuling City."
Old Madam Fu wasn’t happy on hearing it, chasing after Hall Master Fu, yelling at him.
