The Martial Doctor

So young, yet so lustful...

"I’ve been captured by you here, how is Hai Tang?" Situ Wan asked, anxious for her freedom and worried that the girl Qingtang might unknowingly cause trouble.

"Hai Tang, you mean your little apprentice, right? She’s moved out and is staying at Yuelai Inn, searching for news about you."

"She didn’t look for you?"

"Look for me, for what? She did go to Shi Yin to inquire. Shi Yin told her you had resigned and settled all dues, possibly returned to your hometown." Lin Miao answered while observing Situ Wan’s expression.

Though he had an actual relationship with this woman, her heart might not be so easily changed. Hai Tang, who is Qingtang, the daughter of Qingye, Duke of Wuan, she surely knows.

Sure enough, Situ Wan’s expression slightly changed upon hearing that Qingtang only sought Shi Yin, but she tried to keep it unchanged as much as possible.

"Hai Tang may come from a humble background, but she’s quite talented, pure, has good character, and reasonable comprehension. She has no relatives left in this world. She’s suffering because of me, and I’m wondering if she could continue staying at Huaye Tower?" As Situ Wan said this, she discreetly glanced at Lin Miao.

"Alright, I promise you." Lin Miao nodded. He already knew Hai Tang’s identity; for the sake of the senior’s identity secret and Qingtang’s safety, should anything happen to this girl, it would certainly be troublesome for the Duke of Wuan.

It’s better to keep her at Huaye Tower, but there needs to be a reason for her staying. Situ Wan spoke, just conveniently aligning the opportunity.

"But, it’s you who has to convince her to stay."

"Me?" Situ Wan’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, responding uneasily, afraid to meet Lin Miao’s gaze, for fear he might see through something.

"She’s your apprentice. You’ve been dismissed, it’s only right she’d follow suit with you. If you don’t explain, how would she continue staying at Huaye Tower?" Lin Miao chuckled, intentionally using the gesture of pinching his nose to hide a hint of smile at the corner of his mouth.

"How am I supposed to say this..." Situ Wan hesitated, struggling how to open the conversation.

"Just tell her, you left the Lin Family and Huaye Tower due to unavoidable matters, she doesn’t need to follow you. You’re only temporarily away, and will return soon, as the position of chef at Huaye Tower is still reserved for you. This way, she’d naturally stay without worry."

"Alright, I’ll talk to her, let her stay." Situ Wan grudgingly agreed, the matter deviating from its original path, sparked by her own troubles, needs handling herself.

"I’ll have Mei’Er leave a room for you specifically on the estate. After all, nobody knows your identity, if you haven’t decided where to go, you can stay here, and I’ll visit frequently." Lin Miao said.

"Huh?" Situ Wan was stunned, is this him hiding her away in a golden house?

Indeed, she can’t return to the Lin Family, nor explain her declined cultivation realm to the sect, especially losing her virginity, her master would instantly know the cause. How to explain then?

Returning home, what’s the difference from returning to the sect?

In this vast world, Situ Wan realized she seemingly has no place to go.

Yet, with extended absence from home or the sect, definitely needing reasons, she set out using the premise of wandering the martial world and seeking breakthroughs.

The agreed time is three years, after which she must return.

It’s already been a year and a half.

At most, a year and a half more to drag, perhaps she’ll recover seven or eight tenths of her cultivation. Then, upon return, find an excuse, possibly passing through.

Situ Wan pondered deeply, unconsciously nodding in agreement.

"Wan’Er, since you’ve become my woman, you are part of the Lin Family. In the future, monthly stipends and cultivation resources won’t exclude you, unused ones can be saved." Lin Miao sat beside her, reaching out to embrace her waist.

Situ Wan’s body stiffened, uncomfortable with such contact, wanting to push him away, but feeling weak, unsure if it was "Wanquingsi’s" side effect or perhaps accepting this relationship internally.

The concern is about the sect, though Wandao Sect doesn’t prohibit disciples from marrying outside, as the chief disciple of the peak, even marrying must match social standing, at least from a superior sect and a true disciple, definitely part of righteous sects.

Essentially, apart from her own sect, choices are limited, only Snow Mountain Sect and Spirit Sword Sect.

Snow Mountain Sect and Spirit Sword Sect do have bridal ties with Wandao Sect, but ordinary true disciples like Situ Wan, a Tian Yuan seed and next Peak Master, aren’t allowed such marriage unless renouncing all internal privileges and resources.

Of course, if it’s marrying in, that’s another story.

If Sun Youwei could join Wandao Sect, Lin Miao would be Wandao Sect’s son-in-law. For her, is it she’d end up a concubine?

At this thought, Situ Wan a hundred times unwilling.

As such, she now desires Sun Youwei not to return to Wandao Sect, avoiding complications in their trio’s relationship.

Having Lin Miao forsake Sun Youwei, to marry her, evidently improbable, as she lacks the ability to change Lin Miao’s mind.

As a defeated subordinate, what rights to make conditions? Moreover, he seemingly could break "Wanquingsi’s" binding force, unfavorable for Wandao Sect.

"Wanquingsi" is theoretically one-on-one, yet who stated two-on-one, or three-on-one...

Situ Wan is internally torn.

Moreover, the secret she seeks, the Tian Yuan opportunity, lies with the sister Hua Qingye, pondering her transaction with Hua Qingye, unsure of how to articulate.
