The Martial Doctor
Chapter 223 - 197: Yue Mei’Er Captured Alive
"Yue Mei’Er, you were right about one thing. I did indeed sleep with the Saint Heir!" Si Miaoxue said proudly and with flair.
"Miaoxue!" Lin Miao frowned slightly. He had long known that Si Miaoxue was often shocking with her words, but speaking like this would surely let Yue Mei’Er keep misunderstanding.
"No, that’s impossible. Being struck in the heart by the Absolute Yin Hand, survival is absolutely impossible. To return to Dongshan City from Longchuan Canyon with such heavy injuries..." Yue Mei’Er seemed struck by lightning, completely in disbelief.
"The truth is right before you, Yue Mei’Er, you’ve lost." Si Miaoxue, adopting a high and mighty stance, looked down at Yue Mei’Er who was sitting on the floor. She stepped forward, wrapped an arm around Lin Miao’s arm, and smiled tenderly, "I am already the Saint Heir’s person; you came too late."
"Si Miaoxue, you’ve won, what do you plan to do with me?" Yue Mei’Er bit her lip lightly, gave a desolate smile, and asked with a pitiful expression.
"Tsk tsk, weren’t you quite proud just now? How quickly you change, Yue Mei’Er, you’ve been able to feign pitifulness since you were young. Every time you made a mistake, you showed that pitiful look. How could the nanny of your upbringing be so fond of you..."
"Miaoxue, I was wrong, can you spare me this once?" Yue Mei’Er suddenly softened, pleadingly.
"Oh dear, weren’t you just high and mighty, yet this shamelessness is exactly the same as ten years ago." Si Miaoxue critiqued, "What a waste of a good appearance."
"Young Master, how shall we deal with her..." Si Miaoxue suddenly spoke up.
Lin Miao nodded nonchalantly. That Yue Mei’Er was indeed of stunning beauty, but with such a venomous heart, he wouldn’t have any pity for her. Moreover, she had just said she wanted to kill his elder sister, which he couldn’t tolerate.
"The Young Master doesn’t desire to spare your life, hence don’t blame your elder sister for being ruthless and merciless!" Si Miaoxue raised her palm, ready to strike towards the vulnerable Baihu point on her head, this palm would certainly spell Yue Mei’Er’s doom.
"Spare me, Young Master, Mei’Er was wrong, please forgive Mei’Er this once. Mei’Er promises to obey you in the future. Whatever you ask Mei’Er to do, Mei’Er will do." Yue Mei’Er’s enchanting eyes were like silk, her cheeks flushed as she spoke.
Lin Miao remained unmoved, seemingly not swayed by Yue Mei’Er’s charm tactics.
"Yue Mei’Er, what you said earlier touched the Young Master’s reverse scale, do you think the Young Master can forgive you?" Si Miaoxue’s palm struck down.
"Si Miaoxue, if you kill me, your master Long Po won’t survive either!" Just as the palm was about to land, Yue Mei’Er suddenly yelled with a hideous expression.
Si Miaoxue halted her palm abruptly.
"Tell me, what happened to my master?"
Though intending to settle past affairs, Long Po had been kind to Si Miaoxue, and she felt she still needed to repay this favor.
"Your master Long Po stole the Moon Palace’s supreme treasure, the ’Moon God Record,’ was discovered by the Sect Leader, captured on the spot, and sent to the Moon Demon Prison." Yue Mei’Er gritted her teeth and said.
"Impossible, why would my master steal the ’Moon God Record’ for no reason?" Si Miaoxue was instantly shocked. She knew full well what the Moon Demon Prison was, indicating her complete disbelief.
"Miaoxue, what is the ’Moon God Record’?"
"It’s a sacred text of cultivation in the Moon Palace, only the Palace Master and the Sect Leader can practice it. It’s the supreme martial arts manual of the Moon Worship Sect," Si Miaoxue explained.
"That I don’t know, regardless she was caught in the act, saw by many. Later the Sect Leader took into account her past merits, didn’t kill her but sent her to the Moon Demon Prison." Yue Mei’Er said, "Everything I say is true, I can swear by the Moon God, if there’s even a single lie, may lightning strike me dead. Many in the sect know, only the news was locked down, hence you were unaware."
Si Miaoxue staggered, almost falling, Lin Miao reacted swiftly, catching her from behind.
"Just because of this, I got the chance to be sent to replace your position."
"So, even if you kill me, you can easily find an excuse so there won’t be any consequences later, my master being imprisoned, and no one will avenge me, right?" Si Miaoxue understood now why Yue Mei’Er had been so reckless in wanting to kill her.
She needn’t fear Long Po finding out Yue Mei’Er had killed her disciple and seeking revenge. Instead, her master had lost freedom, and Yue Mei’Er was therefore fearless.
"On reverse, killing you, how does it relate to my master’s safety?"
"The task I received is to replace you in Dongshan City, to continue seeking the Saint Heir, and to capture you on the spot, returning you to the Moon Palace for disposal!" A layer of sweat seeped from Yue Mei’Er’s forehead, knowing her answer must satisfy Si Miaoxue or her life would end here today.
Human survival instincts drove her to unleash tremendous energy, including wisdom.
"Why?"
"Because the Sect Leader specifically named you!"
"What, that old codger, he’s still relentless?" Si Miaoxue cursed directly.
"No way, why were you so determined to kill me earlier, not afraid of the old codger causing trouble for you?"
"If I killed you, I would report that you rejected returning to the Moon Palace, fled alone into the depths of Longchuan Canyon, then disappeared..."
This excuse they both thought of.
"Furthermore, if you truly gain the Sect Leader’s favor, were you to bear the Saint Heir’s bloodline, wouldn’t that create problems for me?" Yue Mei’Er plucked up the courage, expressing her innermost thoughts.
