Medical and Martial God

Chapter 580: Mutually Harmful

"You hit me?"

Having been publicly slapped by his own father, Sun Shixin felt utterly humiliated and roared, "Why the hell should I apologize to him? He’s just a doctor! He’s a member of a sponsor team, and so are we. The Sun Family isn’t afraid of him! How could you hit me in front of everyone? Don’t I have any dignity?"

"You... You’ll be the death of me!" His father, utterly helpless with his wayward son, said to Ye Xiu, "Divine Doctor Ye, you might as well kill him. I give up!"

After saying this, he stormed off angrily.

Seeing this, Sun Shixin laughed and began to taunt again. "Ye Xiu, my dad’s gone. No one can protect you now. I advise you to get on your knees and apologize. Let me slap you a hundred times or so. Otherwise... Hmph. You claim to be a Divine Doctor? Fine. I’ll cripple you, and you can heal yourself."

The words had barely left his mouth when one of the twelve thugs spoke awkwardly to Ye Xiu. "Divine Doctor Ye, we’re truly sorry. We didn’t know Sun Shixin sent us to deal with you. Apologies. Alright, guys, let’s go."

With that, he led the other thugs away.

Sun Shixin was dumbfounded. With the thugs gone, who would help him beat up Ye Xiu? He couldn’t defeat Ye Xiu by himself! This scene made Qin Qing and the others burst out laughing.

Ye Xiu didn’t laugh. He ordered coldly, "Kneel."

"A man can be killed but not humiliated. If you have the guts, then kill me," Sun Shixin said defiantly.

"I won’t kill you. Your crimes don’t warrant death," Ye Xiu spoke indifferently. "Of Yunluo City’s Four Young Masters, I broke both of Ye Xuan’s legs and removed Wang Chaoyang’s appendix and a kidney. As for you..."

THUD!

Before Ye Xiu could finish, Sun Shixin dropped to his knees. "Divine Doctor Ye, I was wrong!"

What a joke! The Ye Family and the Wang Family were both far wealthier than the Sun Family. If Ye Xiu had incapacitated both Ye Xuan and Wang Chaoyang, he no longer had the nerve to confront him.

"You love your pride and enjoy posturing, don’t you? Let me give you a new hairstyle!"

Ye Xiu held his open palm just above Sun Shixin’s head. Flashes of Blade Qi gleamed in his palm, shredding all the hair from the top of Sun Shixin’s head.

The Mediterranean hairstyle!

Seeing this, Qin Qing and the others couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Sun Shixin’s face turned blood-red, feeling as if all his dignity had been trampled into the dust.

"I must say, this hairstyle makes you look quite like a government official," Ye Xiu commented, then reprimanded, "Remember this: you are not allowed to change your hairstyle or wear a hat. Get lost!"

Sun Shixin scrambled to his feet and ran for his life. He didn’t dare to glance at Kristina, nor did he call for her to join him. He was utterly ashamed.

"Kristina, shall we go too?" Meng Yinwan asked tentatively.

Kristina didn’t move. She walked up to Ye Xiu and asked, "Was it you who killed the Envoy from the Three Major Judicator Families?"

Seeing this, a barely perceptible, triumphant smirk curled Meng Yinwan’s lips. In her view, Kristina already knew Ye Xiu had killed the Envoy. Now that she was face-to-face with him, she would surely attack in a rage to get revenge. But Kristina is no match for Ye Xiu. When I step in to stop Ye Xiu from killing her, Kristina will trust me even more. She might even reveal the location of the Judicator Families or take me to seek reinforcements from them. Ye Xiu, oh, Ye Xiu! You’re such a professional patsy!

"It wasn’t me," Ye Xiu shook his head.

"Your word alone is not enough. What evidence do you have to prove you didn’t kill the Envoy?" Kristina asked.

Ye Xiu suddenly realized that from the moment he had first laid eyes on Kristina, the girl had been completely expressionless. To put it nicely, she possessed the calm composure of a placid lake hiding a heart of thunder. To put it bluntly, she was like an emotionless robot, incapable of anger, rage, joy, or sorrow.

"Not only did I not kill him, I actually saved him." Ye Xiu shrugged and said to Chloe, "Go bring the Envoy here."

Upon hearing this, Meng Yinwan’s expression changed instantly. She had the distinct feeling she’d been played by Ye Xiu.

Kristina remained expressionless.

Soon, Chloe returned with the Envoy, who looked pale and severely injured.

"Little Princess?" Upon seeing Kristina, the Envoy was startled for a moment. He quickly hurried over and knelt before her, saying respectfully, "Your subordinate, Yatie, pays his respects to the Little Princess."

"What happened? Why are you here?" Kristina asked, looking down on Envoy Yatie like a proud queen.

"I was being pursued, and Mr. Ye saved me," Yatie said respectfully.

Chloe’s Purple Pupil had the ability to erase up to an hour of a person’s memories. Furthermore, after activating its Fourth Stage, Chloe gained the ability to hypnotically implant new ones. After Ye Xiu brought Yatie back, Chloe used her Purple Pupil Ability to erase his memories of the time before and after the fight with Ye Xiu. Then, through hypnosis, she implanted a new memory: that he had been injured while being pursued by an enemy, and it was Ye Xiu who had saved him.

"Sister," Kristina said, turning her head to Meng Yinwan. "Ye Xiu is Yatie’s savior. Why did you frame him for Yatie’s murder?"

"This..." Meng Yinwan’s mind raced as she desperately tried to think of a way to fool Kristina.

Before she could come up with anything, Ye Xiu spoke. "Because she’s an enemy of the Three Major Judicator Families. She went undercover by your side to discover their location. She framed me in order to..."

Before he could finish, he saw Kristina suddenly sprint away, vanishing in a flash.

Qin Qing, the others, and Yatie—who was still kneeling on the ground—were all bewildered. They couldn’t understand why Kristina had fled.

"Ye Xiu, you..." Meng Yinwan glared fiercely at Ye Xiu and roared, "Do you have any idea how much I sacrificed to get undercover with Kristina? Now you’ve exposed me, and all my efforts have gone to waste!"

"You betrayed me first," Ye Xiu replied with a cold smile. "Bring it on. We can hurt each other."

Meng Yinwan was speechless. She had never expected things to turn out this way. Originally, her plan with Pusang was to use Ye Xiu as a sacrificial pawn, a vanguard to throw against the Three Major Judicator Families. Now, with a single counter-move, Ye Xiu had exposed her undercover identity. And by ’saving’ Envoy Yatie, he had ironically become a benefactor to the Three Major Judicator Families.

"Mr. Ye, what are you talking about?" Envoy Yatie still hadn’t grasped the situation.

"Are you curious why Kristina suddenly ran off?" Ye Xiu asked.

Yatie nodded.

Ye Xiu looked at Meng Yinwan. "Why don’t you explain it to him."

Meng Yinwan scoffed, "How would I know why Kristina suddenly ran off?"

"With your intelligence, even getting into kindergarten would be a struggle," Ye Xiu said disdainfully. "It’s because Kristina knew you were an undercover agent all along."

"Impossible!" Meng Yinwan immediately shot back. "If she had seen through my cover long ago, why didn’t she expose me?"

Your intelligence is basically on the same level as a pig’s... Ye Xiu thought to himself before saying aloud, "She didn’t expose you for a couple of reasons. One, this is her first time out in the world for her training. She’s completely unfamiliar with the outside and needs a guide."
