Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 700 - 678: The Wrath of the Yin Master

Bi Yue Pavilion, sinister and gloomy, the Master raged.

Hu Yanfei and Doctor Xiao stood trembling before him, awaiting the Master’s fury. Beside the Master, the Gu Queen’s face was overcast, gazing at her two disciples with a rage that suggested they were an utter disappointment.

"You can’t even handle a trivial matter, do you still have the face to see your teacher? It would be better if you just took your own lives, to spare your teacher the irritation," the Gu Queen yelled sharply, like a witch, her overwhelming malice instilling fear, as if she were a Gu insect ready to devour someone.

Doctor Xiao gritted her teeth and said, "Master, this matter has nothing to do with my senior sister, it’s all my fault. I let Tangyu go. If you want to punish someone, punish me alone."

The Master paid little attention to Doctor Xiao and Hu Yanfei, fiddling with a jade box in his hand, which contained two Flame Demon Scorpion Kings. What he cared about most were the two Flame Demon Scorpion Kings. If not for them, he would have already meted out punishment and embarked on a killing spree.

The Gu Queen glanced at the Master before snorting coldly, "Considering that you have obtained the Flame Demon Scorpion Kings, let your achievements make up for your faults this time. However—" Her gaze settled on Doctor Xiao: "Xiao’er, your actions this time have deeply disappointed your teacher. I’ve always warned you not to be swayed by male-female affections, not to be deceived by men. Yet, you ignored your teacher’s advice, even defying a teacher’s order to protect a man, do you still regard me as your teacher?"

The Gu Queen was truly angry, for Doctor Xiao had always been her most beloved disciple.

Because of this, she had always been the strictest with Doctor Xiao and placed great hopes in her, always treating Doctor Xiao as the successor of her legacy.

"That Tangyu is not a good person at all, heartless and frivolous, surrounded by many intimate female friends. And yet, you’re still so foolish to protect her?" Anger filled the Gu Queen’s voice.

Doctor Xiao lifted her head, her gaze resolute as she addressed the Gu Queen, "Master, no matter what kind of person Tangyu is, whether fickle or frivolous, all I know is his sincerity towards me, and that’s enough. I don’t dare to hope for anything else. I’ve never thought about any outcome with him. Loving someone until it becomes an obsession, I can’t lie to myself. I like him, liking someone doesn’t need any reasons. He could die for me, and I could die for him; that’s all I want."

"Bang!"

The Gu Queen flew into a rage, slamming her palm heavily on the tea table. The table shattered immediately, with wood splinters flying everywhere. The Gu Queen’s face contorted with fury as she pointed at Doctor Xiao and shouted, "How foolish, utterly foolish! To be deceived and still be unaware. He could die for you? If he truly could die for you, you should have killed him today, to rid yourself of this calamity. Love needs reasons; without a reason to love him, it’s not love, it’s an illusion. Thinking of your youth and ignorance, and since it’s your first offense, I won’t punish you severely this time. Now, I’m giving you a chance to redeem yourself. Go, kill Tangyu. Once you’ve eradicated the demon in your heart, you will be a good disciple again. After the Master’s great success, I will abdicate my position and let you become the Sect Leader of the Gu Medical Sect. At that time, in Miaojiang, you will be revered by thousands. Once our great cause is successful, I will no longer bind you, and you can do whatever you want."

Kill Tangyu?

Doctor Xiao’s hands clenched tightly as she shook her head, "I can’t, Master, I can’t do it."

"Whether you can or can’t, you must. I now order you to kill Tangyu," the Gu Queen fumed.

Doctor Xiao shook her head desperately, "Master, I really can’t, please don’t force me, I can’t do it. I would rather die myself than kill Tangyu. I love him, I truly do. Master, please don’t force me. I’ll do anything you ask."

"So you’ve grown wings? You dare to defy me? Do you believe I would kill you?" the Gu Queen’s eyes were cold and stern.

Doctor Xiao bit her lip, "Your disciple is unfilial. Master, if you wish to kill or flay me, I have no complaints, but I beseech you not to force me. What is love in this world? It makes one vow to live and die together. Master, you also know love, you should understand that loving someone means doing anything for them, even if it costs one’s life. Master, why can’t you understand your disciple’s heart?"

"Presumptuous." The Gu Queen was furiously enraged, "I am not like you. Don’t think just because I’ve always doted on you that I won’t truly kill you. I will say it one last time, if you don’t carry out the order to kill Tangyu, I will show no mercy. You don’t fear death, that’s fine, but don’t forget, you have a sister. If I dare to kill you, do you think I would hesitate to kill your sister? Think carefully before answering me." freёwebnoѵel.com

Boom!!!

"What?"

Doctor Xiao’s face turned instantly pale, her body involuntarily stepping back twice as if struck by lightning. She was not afraid of death, for Tangyu’s sake, she would defy all. But Yudie, the only relative she had in the world, whom she promised to take care of for a lifetime... She could not harm Yudie, she was so young, she could not just die. For a moment, Doctor Xiao wanted to cry, to sob uncontrollably, to vent her feelings. To be compelled by her master to kill the man she loved most.

Such a choice, no woman could make.

Cruel, incredibly cruel.

So cruel that Doctor Xiao even began to harbor resentment towards her master.

Why? Why? Her most respected master was forcing her into such a difficult decision. Why, why was all this happening? If death could free her from all this, she would not hesitate for a moment to end her life.

"Will you kill him or not?" The Gu Queen’s sharp voice rose again, piercing deep into Doctor Xiao’s heart, shaking her very soul.

To kill or not to kill?

Doctor Xiao’s lips were bitten through, she truly couldn’t make the choice, she really didn’t know what to do, she truly wished to just die.

"I—I—" Doctor Xiao’s throat choked up, she couldn’t even speak a word, and tears had long since drenched her handsome face, pitiful to the eye.

A woman, to have to endure such cruelty, it indeed made one’s heart ache.

"Hmph, since you cannot choose, then as your master, I will make the choice for you," the Gu Queen coldly snorted and said to Yan Ru behind her, "Go bring Xiao Yudie to me."

"No, don’t—" Doctor Xiao suddenly cried out in a loud voice, this was her only sister, her only kin, the only thing she had to protect. Even if she died, she would not allow anyone to touch her: "I—I will go kill Tangyu."

After saying this, Doctor Xiao felt her heart bleeding, wrenched apart by knives, the pain indescribable.

"Very well, that’s my disciple. Go quickly and return quickly. Although your strength isn’t as great as Tangyu, if he truly loves you, killing him will be as easy as turning your hand. Hurry now, your master awaits your good news. Hmph, but let me say the ugly words upfront, if you dare play any tricks, your master will definitely not let you off," the Gu Queen said.

Doctor Xiao left numbly.

Having sent Doctor Xiao on her way, the Gu Queen’s gaze fell upon Hu Yanfei, "Fei’er, you’ve done well this time. With this strategy of the Flame Demon Scorpion King, the plan will proceed smoothly, and when the time comes, your great services will be remembered. Alright, hurry and prepare for the other matters."

Yet Hu Yanfei stood still, not leaving, her eyes also filled with complexity.

"Hmm, what is it, is there something else?" the Gu Queen demanded.

It was then that Hu Yanfei made up her mind and looked up at the Gu Queen, "Master, there is something I don’t understand, and I wish to seek your guidance."

"We can talk about whatever matters you have later; the grand scheme of things takes precedence. I don’t have the spare time," the Gu Queen waved her hand, clearly not intending to give Hu Yanfei a chance to speak.

"No, Master, I must ask this question clearly; otherwise, I will not do anything else," Hu Yanfei stated resolutely.

"Smack—" In her anger, the Gu Queen’s palm struck again, "Are you rebelling too? Xiao’er dared to rebel against me, do you dare to rebel too? Get out!"

Hu Yanfei clenched her teeth, "Even if you kill me, Master, I must ask this question. My husband’s death, was it related to you, Master?"

"You’re courting death!" The Gu Queen immediately showed a hint of killing intent.

Fearless of life and death, Hu Yanfei stood her ground, "I have already examined my husband’s ashes, and they have completely turned black. It’s clear he died of poison. And such poison at the onset is undetectable, unnoticeable, and only becomes apparent after many years. Such poison, as I believe, Master, you are more aware of than I. Therefore, I must ask, Master, was my husband’s death really connected to you?"

"Huhuhu, so you’ve discovered it. Yes, your husband was indeed harmed by your master. If he had not died, how would you have willingly returned to my side? If he had not died, how could you have obediently raised the Flame Demon Scorpion King for me? If he had not died, how could the grand plan have unfolded smoothly? Blame yourself and your daughter for your husband’s death, so he had to die; that was his fate, and yours too. What now, Fei’er, do you still want to defy your master?" the Gu Queen sneered chillingly.

Hu Yanfei was utterly shaken, nearly spitting out blood.

"It’s true, Tangyu didn’t lie to me, it’s really like this. Why, why must it be like this? Master, why did you do this, why did you kill my husband, why, what for?" Hu Yanfei’s eyes were split with rage, her pain immense, her voice filled with sobs and tears, nearly losing control.

The deeply buried resentments of many years completely erupted at this moment, surging with overwhelming force.

"Master, I’ve always respected you the most, treated you like my own parents. Why would you treat me like this, why?" Hu Yanfei questioned.

"Because your husband had to die, anyone who blocks my way dies," the Gu Queen said.

"Huhuhu, ’anyone who blocks my way dies’. Just for your own benefit, you can abandon anything, forsake everything. To think that I gave up everything, to follow you. Now it seems, I am the biggest fool. Since that’s the case, our master-disciple ties are severed; from now on you’re not my master, and I am not your disciple, we owe nothing to each other." Hu Yanfei had completely lost hope; mourning was worse than death, and with her heart dead, nothing else mattered. Hu Yanfei turned and left directly, no longer caring how the Gu Queen would deal with her.

The Gu Queen was also very angry but waved her hand and decided not to have Hu Yanfei killed in the end, "Hmph, considering the hard work you’ve put in these years, I will spare your life. Get out."
