"You still haven’t told me why, if you die, my master won’t survive?" Almost let her divert the topic, and after talking for so long, she hadn’t hit the mark once.

"If I die, your master won’t have a chance to come out of the Moon Demon Prison alive, but if I live, you can use me to exchange for your master." Yue Mei’Er revealed the reason for her survival.

"Yue Mei’Er, don’t think you can deceive me. I have the Saint Heir, and even if my master made a big mistake, pardoning her is just a word away. Who would dare go against the Saint Heir over such a trivial matter?" Si Miaoxue wasn’t foolish; such low-level rhetoric couldn’t sway her at all.

Yue Mei’Er suddenly froze.

Yes, she indeed has the Saint Heir in hand. Even if she killed her and returned to the sect, she wouldn’t face punishment. And releasing Long Po from the Moon Demon Prison, if the Saint Heir wants it, who would dare defy?

This greatest reliance had no use in threatening Si Miaoxue at all.

But Yue Mei’Er would never have thought that Lin Miao, this "Saint Heir," was actually an impostor. Yue Mei’Er was wildly guessing, while Si Miaoxue was simply going along with her words to control her.

In fact, to save Master Long Po, it’s true that leaving Yue Mei’Er alive might really be necessary.

But this woman is astoundingly wise, and if she detects something wrong, she might soon understand. But now, using Si Miaoxue’s master Long Po to threaten is no longer effective.

If she wants to survive, unless she still has a hidden backhand.

Has it come to this, and she still has a backhand?

"Young Master, I am the daughter of the Left Envoy of the Moon Palace, Yuegui. As long as you spare my life, I promise that when you return to the Moon Palace, the Yue Family will become your staunch support!" Yue Mei’Er seemed to know that Si Miaoxue was determined to kill her, and her chance for survival lay with Lin Miao, this "Saint Heir."

Actually, Lin Miao knew very well that he was not any kind of Saint Heir. It was just a coincidence. Si Miaoxue had also said that the Saint Heir was naturally gifted from a young age, unlike his original appearance. If not for his transmigration, this kid and senior sister Sun Youwei might still be suffering in Qingping Town, that rural place.

But right now, words had reached this point, and he couldn’t deny it outright. As it concerned Long Po’s safety, he could ignore Long Po’s life or death, but Si Miaoxue couldn’t.

Once his fake identity was exposed, it would turn into a bargaining chip in Yue Mei’Er’s hands unless he ignored Long Po’s life or death...

And if he was the real Saint Heir, he would inevitably return to the Moon Palace. However, after being stranded outside for so many years, not wanting to return to that place was understandable.

After all, being the master of the Moon Palace, being the Sect Leader of the Moon Worship Sect, might not necessarily be a happy affair.

"I don’t want to be any kind of Saint Heir or the master of the Moon Palace. Your Yue Family’s loyalty is useless to me." Lin Miao’s words were perfectly justified. He was not any kind of Saint Heir to begin with, and naturally didn’t want to assume the role. "But Miaoxue is my woman now, and I hope her master can come out of the Moon Demon Prison safely."

"I can write to my father, and even if he can’t get Protector Long out of the Moon Demon Prison, he can make sure the people inside are looked after and suffer less hardship. I can also serve the Saint Heir, however you wish..." As she finished speaking, Yue Mei’er blushed bright red.

"Yue Mei’er, even in this situation, you’re still dreaming such sweet dreams. Young Master, don’t be beguiled by her; kill her, and once you return, you can naturally get my master out of the Moon Demon Prison!" Si Miaoxue made a move as if to kill her again.

Lin Miao frowned. Is this enchantress overacting?

Are you trying to test if I’m bewitched by Yue Mei’er’s beauty?

"Young Master, Mei’er swears to the Moon God that I will be your slave for this lifetime. Please, grant this servant a chance!" Yue Mei’er crawled forward, prostrating on the ground, pleading bitterly.

An absolute beauty, to survive, knelt so humbly on the ground, begging for a glimmer of mercy.

Even the hardest-hearted person might find it hard to remain unmoved.

"Still using honeyed words to beguile the Young Master!"

"Sister Miaoxue, I was wrong, I truly was. If you spare my life, I will do anything for you, follow you anywhere!" Yue Mei’er fervently pleaded for mercy.

Her pleas for mercy spouted out smoothly, essentially just a pack of lies.

Someone like Yue Mei’er, it’s hard to believe she truly knows her mistakes. Right now, she’s only compromising out of fear for her life.

She’s the daughter of Yuegui, the Left Envoy, and when necessary, she could be used as leverage to obtain Long Po’s freedom. Killing her would remove that bargaining chip.

Of course, Long Po being captured into the Moon Demon Prison might just be a story crafted to deceive them. But what if it’s true?

Lin Miao exchanged a glance with Si Miaoxue.

Si Miaoxue understood, raised her hand, and struck Yue Mei’Er faint, sparing her life for the time being. Some matters should be considered further.

"Mrs. Qiao." It was finally Mrs. Qiao, the traitor’s turn.

She didn’t dare try to run.

"Spare me, Tower Master," Mrs. Qiao kneeled, trembling all over. As an undercover spy, a traitor, captured now, did she have any chance for survival?

"Tell me what you know, and I’ll grant you a dignified death. Otherwise, you know, I have many ways to make you talk, unable to live or die," Si Miaoxue coolly stated, as Mrs. Qiao had long been bribed, lurking by her side, and undercover spies and traitors were the most detestable.

Speak, and die with some dignity; keep quiet, and endure a round of suffering before dying.

"No, Tower Master, I was forced into this..."

"Miaoxue, don’t be hasty to kill her. If we don’t kill Yue Mei’er, we’ll need a scapegoat, and Mrs. Qiao is the most suitable," Lin Miao stopped Si Miaoxue from attacking Mrs. Qiao while whispering quietly in her ear.

Si Miaoxue calmed down and lowered her raised arm.

"Fine, tell me all you’ve plotted with Yue Mei’Er. If I’m satisfied, I might spare your life out of consideration for our time as master and servant," Si Miaoxue reconsidered.

"Thank you, Tower Master, for sparing my life!" Mrs. Qiao thanked tearfully.

"Get up and tell what you know."

Over the years, Mrs. Qiao had been in contact with Yue Mei’Er, reporting the relevant situations. Yue Mei’Er didn’t fully understand Si Miaoxue, but she knew enough relatively more.

Since Lin Miao and his senior sister came to Dongshan City, rented a house next to a notorious residence, and got involved with Huaye Tower.

Si Miaoxue visited next door many times, displaying a special relationship, especially when Shi Yin and Liuli suddenly left Huaye Tower and moved next door, which inevitably led Mrs. Qiao to speculate.

Furthermore, with Si Miaoxue’s master, Long Po, suddenly arriving in Dongshan City...

Mrs. Qiao grew increasingly suspicious of Lin Miao’s identity, thinking all of this was organized by Si Miaoxue, and thus reported it secretly to Yue Mei’Er.

Though Mrs. Qiao hadn’t written her suspicions in the report, Yue Mei’Er, being so clever, naturally deduced a situation.

Thus, when Long Po returned to the sect, she took this opportunity to Dongshan.

In fact, Yue Mei’Er received notification somewhat earlier than Si Miaoxue, only that Mrs. Qiao withheld the report.

So, they devised a "switch" plan, with the key being to lure Si Miaoxue to leave Dongshan City for Longchuan Canyon.

Only upon reaching there could they implement their plan.

And the only way for Si Miaoxue to leave Dongshan for Longchuan Canyon was for Yue Mei’Er to remain hidden, making Si Miaoxue restless and head to Longchuan Canyon to seek her.

Because Yue Mei’Er understood Si Miaoxue’s character; she was impatient, most skilled in taking the initiative to strike.

Sure enough, holding back the report, Si Miaoxue, not receiving any news about Yue Mei’Er, along with sudden seclusion, made Mrs. Qiao judge that Si Miaoxue was heading to Longchuan Canyon.

Only Mrs. Qiao wasn’t smart enough, as Si Miaoxue sent her out for errands to deliberately have her drawn away.

Yue Mei’Er didn’t expect Mrs. Qiao to be exposed, as their relationship had been secret, with all communication done discreetly.
