Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 702 - 680: Hu Yanfei’s Request

"Yudie," Doctor Xiao cried out as well, never having expected to see Xiao Yudie here.

Xiao Yudie also ran over and threw herself into Doctor Xiao’s arms, the two tightly embracing, sobbing uncontrollably, "Sister, I won’t let you do anything foolish for me, I don’t want you to leave me, I want you to live on well."

Doctor Xiao nodded, "Yes, sister won’t do anything foolish, sister will live on well, sister still needs to take care of you for a lifetime."

Seeing such a scene, Tangyu smiled with relief. Taking the initiative was very important, one step ahead could win thousands. Having thought of this possibility as he returned from Bi Yue Pavilion, Tangyu had people bring Xiao Yudie over in advance. Luckily, Tangyu acted quickly—if it had been any later, Xiao Yudie might have been taken away by the people of the queen of gu poison. By then, Doctor Xiao would have been at someone else’s mercy. Doctor Xiao had two fatal weaknesses: one was her sister Xiao Yudie, and the other was Tangyu.

That’s why she chose death so resolutely.

Using death to seek redemption, because she had no other options left.

When people become desperate, the only thing they can think of is death, it is a form of redemption, as well as a release. Death could settle all scores, and sometimes, death is indeed a terrifying power. But how many people could face death so calmly?

"Tangyu, thank you." It took a while before the two separated, and Doctor Xiao looked at Tangyu.

Tangyu smiled wryly, "Can we avoid a fight to the death now?"

"Yes, I won’t be foolish anymore. You’re right, Master assists in tyranny, causes harm to the innocent, I can’t just watch Master fall deeper into the abyss. Thus, I will join you in your fight against the dark lord. Only by thwarting the dark lord’s conspiracies could there be a chance to awaken my master," said Doctor Xiao, her mind now fully clear.

Tangyu nodded, "With your help, I’m indeed stronger. Haha, probably your master never expected that by sending you on this mission, she was actually increasing my strength. Now, we have a shared goal, to confront the dark lord and destroy all his plans. Yet, these forces might still not be enough, perhaps far from enough. But, we must fight with all our might, until death if necessary. Doctor Xiao, how much do you know about the dark lord’s plans? Tell me everything, so I can devise countermeasures and not act blindly."

Doctor Xiao nodded, "But I know very little, I really do not know what the dark lord’s plan is. I have been in Donglin City for these three years, mainly to win over some prominent figures and then conduct some experiments, which you should already know. I haven’t taken part in other matters."

Tangyu nodded. It seemed Doctor Xiao really knew too little, practically of no use.

"I do know some things." Suddenly, a voice sounded.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The newcomer was none other than Hu Yanfei. As soon as Hu Yanfei appeared, little fish and several others also rushed out and surrounded her, ready to capture Hu Yanfei on Tangyu’s command.

"Senior sister," seeing Hu Yanfei, Doctor Xiao was slightly startled, her gaze inevitably becoming more cautious, was her senior sister here to supervise herself?

Tangyu looked towards Hu Yanfei, seeing no hint of hostility in her eyes, but rather a full sense of indifference. A thought crossed his mind and he gestured for the little fish and others to retreat. Putting aside the fact that he had already attained the Innate Realm, even if he hadn’t broken through, facing Hu Yanfei, Tangyu could be utterly unhesitant, without any concerns. Everything was within Tangyu’s control.

"Are you willing to tell me?" Tangyu looked at Hu Yanfei, feeling no malice from her, but still not daring to fully trust her. Expressions, after all, are the most deceitful. This, is not a joke, not a single step can be misstepped. One wrong move, and all subsequent moves are jeopardized. One poor chess move, and it becomes very dangerous. Last time he was overconfident, nearly didn’t make it out of Bi Yue Pavilion, which was a profound lesson for Tangyu.

Hu Yanfei glanced at Doctor Xiao, then turned to Tangyu, "I’ve already fallen out with my master."

"Hmph, you think I would believe that?" said Tangyu.

Hu Yanfei responded, "Believe it or not, that’s up to you, I know you won’t believe."

"Then why come?" asked Tangyu.

"But I think you might believe. If you think I have any schemes, then I think you can rest assured. You know my strength, I can’t really frame you. You are immune to all poisons, powerfully strong. Even the biggest conspiracies are laughable in the face of absolute strength. Besides, things have come to this point, the dark lord has already gotten what he wanted. In the end, you either believe or you don’t. I came here today, merely to ask you for a favor," Hu Yanfei said.

Although Hu Yanfei’s tone was very sincere, the more she said so, the less Tangyu dared to trust her easily.

"Caution is the parent of safety," Tangyu believed that the master would definitely not let her go. If possible, the master would certainly put her to death, so she couldn’t afford to be careless.

"I don’t think there is anything I can help you with," Tangyu said.

Hu Yanfei said, "It’s exactly as you said, my husband’s death is indeed related to my master; it was my master who poisoned and killed my husband. I have thus severed all ties and broken off my master-student relationship with her. That matter is now over, and I will no longer involve myself in it. What I want now is to seek the forgiveness of my two daughters. I am cruel and heartless, unworthy to be a mother, even worse than pigs or dogs, using my daughter to threaten you. But this was also a desperate measure, I wouldn’t really kill my daughter. I have not seen them for years, also to protect them, not wanting them to get involved." freewebnσvel.cѳm

"Hmm, that sounds really nice. Why didn’t you say these things yesterday? You think by saying a few words now, you can win my sympathy? That you can just clean away your cruelty and ruthlessness? Even if I agree to help you, Xiao Dong and Xiao Xi won’t forgive you. Do you know how deeply hurt they are by you? Asking for forgiveness, just by these simple words, you think you can be forgiven?" Tangyu also scoffed.

A devil suddenly turning into a saint naturally wouldn’t make people trust her.

"I know I have hurt them deeply, and I don’t deserve their forgiveness. I’ve lost everything and have given up everything. I just want to reconnect with them and make up for my faults to them. So I’m begging you to accompany me to see them, to speak to them on my behalf. Whatever it takes, as long as they can forgive me, I’ll do anything, and I definitely won’t complain even if it costs me my life. Tangyu, they really listen to you, you are the only one who can help me," Hu Yanfei said.

"Why should I help you?" Tangyu said.

"Because—I can tell you everything I know," Hu Yanfei said.

This was indeed a significant temptation for Tangyu, who was currently lacking an understanding of the master’s plans. Knowing both the enemy and yourself ensures no peril in a hundred battles. If he knew nothing about the opponent, then the battle was already 10% lost before it had even started.

Tangyu was also hesitating. He wanted to believe Hu Yanfei but dared not trust her easily. Outwardly, Hu Yanfei showed no flaws, but he feared what she might hide deep within. After all, Hu Yanfei wasn’t a simple character. She was not straightforward like Doctor Xiao. How deep Hu Yanfei’s schemes ran, Tangyu couldn’t be sure. Moreover, yesterday Tangyu had witnessed the extent of Hu Yanfei’s capabilities, with no one knowing whether she would play dirty. Regardless of guessing the opponent’s purpose, Tangyu dared not take the risk lightly.

"Sigh, it’s all the sins I committed. The fruit I planted should be eaten by me; I can’t blame others. Tangyu, if I were really as ruthless and merciless as you say, I would not have let the two of them go yesterday. This point, junior sister should understand, right?" Hu Yanfei said, looking at Doctor Xiao.

Doctor Xiao hesitated for a moment and nodded at Tangyu, indicating that what Hu Yanfei was saying was true.

"Even so, it doesn’t prove that everything you say is true. Even if everything you say is true, it doesn’t necessarily make me completely trust you," Tangyu said.

"Whether you believe me or not, I only need your help to get Xiao Dong and Xiao Xi’s forgiveness and take me to meet Xiao Dong and Xiao Xi. I’m alone; you taking me to the Military Region Compound should be safe, right? I shouldn’t be able to play any tricks?" Hu Yanfei said.

Tangyu was still pondering this issue. Outwardly, it seemed seamless. Hu Yanfei, no matter how bold, wouldn’t stir up trouble in the Military Region Compound, right? However, there is never an absolute certainty, the unthinkable does not mean it cannot happen.

"Sorry, I cannot agree to this right now. If you have truly broken off your ties with your master, after this matter settles down, I will take you to meet Xiao Dong and Xiao Xi and speak on your behalf. Whether they forgive you is their decision. Right now, I can’t agree, I can’t even trust you, and I certainly can’t take you to meet them. You can leave now, as for today, I will not do anything to you. Whether you are sincere or deceitful, let me give you some advice; wrongdoing will ultimately be one’s undoing. Evil never triumphs over good, the vast conspiracy will eventually come to naught. The master’s end will definitely be miserable. I hope you won’t mislead yourself," Tangyu said, leaving no room for Hu Yanfei to argue.

Trusting her now would be too risky.

Tangyu couldn’t afford this risk and didn’t feel the need to take it.

"Ah well," Hu Yanfei sighed deeply, "Since it’s like this, then I hope you win against the master this time. But the master is not easy to deal with; he and the Queen of Gu have been planning for decades, and now he has acquired the Flame Demon Scorpion King. This Flame Demon Scorpion King is what the master is using to concoct an unprecedentedly toxic poison pill known as Myriad Poison Heart-Devouring Pill. Once this poison pill is created, just giving it to someone to ingest can easily control that person. As for what the master’s plan is exactly, I don’t know the specifics, only that it unfolds in Donglin City and may have something to do with some important figures in Donglin City. That’s all I can tell you; the rest is up to you," Hu Yanfei concluded.

After that, Hu Yanfei turned and left.

"Myriad Poison Heart-Devouring Pill." Tangyu also murmured this name, although he had never heard of it, it definitely sounded terrifying.

Doctor Xiao’s eyes flickered with a hint of light: "I think senior sister has truly severed ties with the master."

Tangyu scoffed, "True or false, we will only know after this issue settles down, a few days won’t make a difference."
