Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1544: Chapter 1545 Dramatic Transformation

But, whether this middle-aged woman was genuinely naive or pretending, upon hearing Ye Luo’s words, she replied without hesitation: ”As long as you release the Young Mistress, I’ll do whatever you want!”

What the heck!

Is this woman crazy?

Ye Luo was stunned for a moment but instantly realized it was just her strategy, trying to trick him into releasing the hostage!

As if Ye Luo would fall for that, so he said: ”You want me to release your Young Mistress? Sure, then stop resisting and come over obediently!”

...

”Alright, I agree!”

...

What? This time, Ye Luo was truly dumbfounded, because he actually saw the middle-aged woman completely relinquishing her resistance, putting away her cultivation technique, and walking towards Ye Luo!

If Ye Luo were to make a move now to attack, he might be able to kill her in one strike!

After all, there are some differences between an Elementalist and a Martial Artist; the Elementalist’s powerful moves require some preparation time!

An Elementalist is fundamentally an Elementalist, although very similar to Earth Ability Users, they’re considered Elementalists once they upgrade.

But after all, the names changed, naturally there’s a reason why.

The price of an Elementalist’s control over huge strength is sacrificing time!

Any powerful cultivation technique used by an Elementalist must require some preparation, unlike a Martial Artist who can quickly react!

This is the most fundamental difference between an Elementalist and a Martial Artist!

...

”Hey, are you nuts? You’re giving up resisting now; if I don’t release her or even capture both of you, how can you save your Young Mistress?”

Unconsciously, Ye Luo asked a question that even he didn’t expect!

”I trust you because you are not our enemy!”

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman answered Ye Luo this way!

Ye Luo was slightly taken aback: ”Make it clear, you see, my purpose here is to destroy Spirit Sword Island, I don’t mind letting you know, I am Ye Luo! I am indeed the commander of this operation against your Yingchen Family! Haven’t I been your enemy?”

”No, you’re not. You’re an enemy of the Yingchen Family, but not ours!”

The middle-aged woman said firmly, and not just Ye Luo, even Chen Yu was puzzled.

”Auntie, what are you talking about?”

Chen Yu, who hadn’t spoken until now, finally asked the middle-aged woman, clearly in a state of confusion!

”Miss, I’m speaking the truth. The survival of the Yingchen Family is not my concern. My mission is only one, to protect you, Miss! As long as you are safe, the fate of the Yingchen Family doesn’t matter to me!”

Ye Luo was stunned, what kind of drama is this?

However, Ye Luo didn’t speak up because Chen Yu would ask all the questions Ye Luo wanted to ask!

”Auntie, what exactly are you talking about? Although I am named Chen Yu, my father always said it was just because I followed my mother’s surname; I am indeed a member of the Yingchen Family. Why do you say the fate of the Yingchen Family has nothing to do with me?”

Chen Yu was utterly puzzled; although she was in danger now, seeing Ye Luo’s actions while he kidnapped her yet protected her with a Spirit Power Shield, she could tell Ye Luo wasn’t intent on killing her, so she didn’t fear him greatly!

Compared to Ye Luo, it was her auntie’s words that threw Chen Yu into deep confusion!

”Miss, Auntie didn’t deceive you! Do you know why your name is Chen Yu, and you’re the only one so special in the Yingchen Family? And why I’ve been guarding you alone since childhood, with no one in the Yingchen Family having authority over me?”

”This, well... Auntie, you’re my personal nurse, naturally meant to guard me; as for my name, didn’t father say it’s because I took my mother’s surname!”

”Hmph, Miss, since things have come to this point today, there’s no need for me to hide anything any longer. Indeed, your name is Chen Yu, but it’s not the rain ’Yu,’ it’s the feather ’Yu’; your father was the Hall Master of the Star Palace! Twenty years ago, the Yingchen Family approached the Star Palace, hoping the Hall Master would help them solve Spirit Sword Island’s energy issues!

Miss, you should know that privately creating Spirit Sword Island is a capital crime of betrayal, so the Hall Master couldn’t possibly agree!

You didn’t know about this, but the events that followed, you might have some knowledge!

Just three months after the Hall Master’s refusal, our Star Palace suffered a great calamity; the ten Great Sects jointly attacked us, causing us heavy losses! We held on for two years, but eventually couldn’t continue resisting, and the Hall Master had no choice but to seek help from the Yingchen Family...”

Chen Yu was slightly taken aback, then continued following the middle-aged woman’s words: ”The Yingchen Family sent strong warriors to defeat the ten Great Sects, forcing them to withdraw from the Star Palace, but by then, the Hall Master had already perished in battle, and hence they took over the entire Star Palace. With the secrets from the Star Palace, they expedited Spirit Sword Island’s completion, solving the problem of Spirit Sword Island not being able to ascend... isn’t that the story you’ve told me since childhood, Auntie?”

”No, it’s not a story, but a true history; I always told you it was a fabricated story for you to hear alone, not to share with others, but it was truly to ensure you wouldn’t forget this history because you are the only daughter of the Star Palace Hall Master, and indeed, the Young Master of the Star Palace! The Star Palace was destroyed; I had even given up hope, but one piece of news relentless kept us holding on!

That is, shortly after the Hall Master’s death, we learned the Hall Master’s wife became pregnant...

Sixteen years ago, when your mother gave birth to you, she entrusted you to me, then committed suicide, but the Yingchen Family Head opportunistically claimed you as his daughter, all for controlling the power of the Star Palace!

Yet now, most of the elders from the Star Palace have secretly been eliminated by him, but our duo holds a key technology, so the Yingchen Family has kept us, even giving you a special status and treatment, Miss!”

...

Ye Luo stood to the side listening, thoroughly stunned; what a coincidence this was, his aim was merely to kidnap someone conveniently, yet it turned into an unintended rescue!

However, this was indeed better; perhaps it would save much trouble.

”Are you talking about the necklace around her neck?”

At this moment, Ye Luo interjected, as it was initially the special nature of that necklace that led him to want to capture this little girl.
