Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend-Chapter 889 - 758: The True Culprit Is You

"This thing is a Divine Worm, what a joke."

Lie Xuyang was initially worried that Ye Lingyue would come up with some clever method.

But upon seeing it, he realized it was just relying on a little insect to identify scents.

He immediately felt reassured and said disdainfully.

An insect can identify scents? It would be better to find a Spiritual Beast. Besides, when he tampered with the Artifact Refining Cauldron earlier, he wore specially-made silken gloves. He didn’t believe this thumb-sized creature would smell any lingering scents.

Noticing someone daring to look down on it, the Chong Treasure was startled, and the antenna on its forehead stood up immediately.

"You big gorilla man, how dare you mock this Divine Worm? Who said this Divine Worm is useless? My sense of smell is very keen; I can even find wine buried three thousand feet underground without missing a drop." Chong Treasure shouted.

Chong Treasure likes pretty boys, but Lie Xuyang, being tall and rugged, was not its type at all.

When it spoke its mind, it was merciless.

Ye Lingyue wasn’t wrong.

The sense of smell of Chong Treasure is indeed unique.

The Wine God Worm family, besides being able to brew countless fine wines in the world, can distinguish more than ten thousand kinds of scents.

Otherwise, Chong Treasure wouldn’t have been able to detect the fine wines inside the Four Directions Tavern from afar, and no matter how the owner hid them, it couldn’t be fooled.

If Lie Xuyang hadn’t spoken, Chong Treasure might not have been willing to help, but after hearing this, it was not happy and wanted to prove itself. It was definitely going to show off.

"Master Nan Jiu, is your Divine Worm really this magical with its sense of smell?" The Sifang City Lord was half-believing, half-doubting.

However, since Chong Treasure was Master Nan Jiu’s beast pet, it should still be reliable.

"Ahem, this should be true. Chong Treasure once clearly identified over eighty elixir ingredients in the Detoxification Pill refined by the Sect Leader." Monk Nan Jiu didn’t expect Ye Lingyue’s method involved relying on Chong Treasure’s sense of smell.

Even Master Nan Jiu, known for his fairness and impartiality, said so, making it seem believable.

The Sifang City Lord immediately regained confidence.

"Then I’ll trouble you, Sifang City Lord, to gather the damaged Cauldron Pieces from the Forging Field and let Chong Treasure identify them, and then have it smell each person present. I’m sure we’ll quickly identify the real culprit." Ye Lingyue sneered, glancing at Hong Mingyue.

Lie Xuyang’s face stiffened slightly.

"The person who got into the Forging Field and tampered with the Artifact Refining Cauldron must not be alone; there must be other accomplices."

Ye Lingyue added.

This made Housekeeper Qin uneasy.

He wanted to speak several times, but seeing the troubled people and the stern-faced Sifang City Lord, he dared not.

Housekeeper Qin regretted letting Lie Xuyang in early. He had agreed to tamper only with certain Artifact Refining Cauldrons. Who knew that Lie Xuyang and Hong Mingyue, such malicious figures, would tamper with so many, leading to this untenable situation?

The Sifang City Lord had people collect the most heavily damaged Artifact Refining Cauldron Fragments and sent them to Chong Treasure.

Chong Treasure climbed onto those Fragments, its antenna swaying.

"Not bad, these Fragments all have a similar scent, belonging to someone. This Divine Worm remembers the scent. Line everyone up, and I guarantee I’ll quickly find the real culprit." Chong Treasure said boastfully.

Upon hearing this, the last of Lie Xuyang’s defenses crumbled.

He looked at Hong Mingyue in horror.

If it’s discovered, not only will he be finished, but his sect, the Fiery Sun Sect, would suffer as well.

His heart was in turmoil, filled with unspeakable fear. If he had known, he shouldn’t have been swayed by Hong Mingyue’s beauty.

Like stepping on cotton, Lie Xuyang felt unsteady.

Only after Hong Mingyue gave him a glare did he shuffle into the crowd.

"Divine Worm, who do you want to start with?" the Sifang City Lord asked Chong Treasure politely.

"Start with him, and him." Chong Treasure’s antenna trembled, its eyes emitting pinkish heart shapes. If it had wings, it would’ve flown to Feng Xun and Zitang Su.

Chong Treasure’s logic was simple.

Handsome guys first, moderately handsome and slightly handsome ones next, women after that, ugly men last.

Chong Treasure lingered around Feng Xun and Zitang Su, infatuated before reluctantly confirming they weren’t the culprits.

Then, Chong Treasure continued to inspect the others.

Compared to the handsome guys, Chong Treasure was uninterested in the others, speeding up its inspections.

The queue of people to be inspected grew shorter and shorter.

Lie Xuyang’s legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

He seized a chance to move beside Hong Mingyue, whispering a threat.

"Hong Mingyue, you must protect me. I ended up like this because of you. If my deeds are exposed, I’ll reveal our affair and that you’re the mastermind behind this."

Useless wretch.

Hong Mingyue never expected Ye Lingyue to find a Divine Worm able to detect scents.

If Lie Xuyang were exposed, she would be doomed too.

With Chong Treasure about to inspect them, Hong Mingyue gritted her teeth.

Hong Mingyue, let’s see where you run this time.

Seeing Hong Mingyue and Lie Xuyang whispering, Ye Lingyue thought secretly.

But just as Chong Treasure was about to inspect Hong Mingyue and Lie Xuyang, Luo Song, who had been with Luo Sansheng, suddenly spoke.

"No need to search anymore, I’m the culprit, I tampered with the Artifact Refining Cauldrons."

Luo Song’s interruption shocked everyone, including the Sifang City Lord and Luo Sansheng.

Especially Luo Sansheng, who grabbed Luo Song in disbelief.

"You brat, what nonsense are you talking!"

Luo Song? How could it be Luo Song?

The Sifang City Lord and everyone else were astonished.

"Father, I know I was wrong. Earlier in Xingxiu Cave, Ye Lingyue, that girl, made things difficult for Ming Yue and me. She and the boy with her injured me internally. In a moment of foolishness, I planned to set traps in the Artifact Refining Cauldron to blow her up. Who knew it would go awry, killing others instead."

Luo Song knelt before Luo Sansheng and the Sifang City Lord, his legs giving way.

"You brat, are you out of your mind? How could you do something like this?" Luo Sansheng was trembling with anger, slapping Luo Song’s face.

Luo Song didn’t resist, just hung his head.

"This...this." The Sifang City Lord was equally furious.

It’s not Luo Song; it can’t be Luo Song.

Ye Lingyue never expected that when the real culprits Hong Mingyue and Lie Xuyang were about to be caught, Luo Song would suddenly disrupt, allowing them potentially to evade punishment.
