Chapter 577 - 467: Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Warm Pathogenic Diseases (3)

Situ Wan had been locked up here for four or five days. She had fallen victim to some unknown incense and, despite being a Meridian Passage Realm expert, couldn’t summon her internal breath, which led to her capture.

This certainly wasn’t the Lin Mansion because she couldn’t hear the familiar sound of street vendors.

Since the soundproofing here wasn’t very good, when it was quiet, she could still hear some noise from outside.

She was the senior sister of Yaoguang Peak from the Daoist sect, yet she was confined like this, and her dantian’s internal breath was also sealed.

It wasn’t a matter of abolishing her dantian. If her martial arts were abolished, she would know. It’s just a special method, one she hadn’t seen even as a True Disciple of this sect.

She tried using her learning to break the restriction, but clearly, it didn’t work, because every once in a while, the opponent would reinforce it.

As long as she stayed in this room, she had the freedom to act. She could do anything she wanted, read books, practice martial arts (though limited to fists and feet), and even requested to bathe, which was granted.

But she couldn’t leave.

Still, she did not spare her opponents verbally. No matter how much she cursed in anger, she received no response.

It seemed that the opponent wanted to imprison her without doing anything else.

She had been manipulated by Lin Miao.

This guy was really deep and hidden well, yet had such a power. No wonder he wasn’t afraid of Marquis Lingyang’s Mansion.

The issue was, he knew she was a disciple of the sect, yet dared to treat her this way, which was quite intriguing.

Wasn’t he afraid that the sect would come knocking?

Moreover, she was somewhat worried about Qingtang, the girl. With her disappearance, the girl must be at a loss. Given Lin Miao’s methods, the girl was likely not his match. However, once Qingtang’s identity was exposed, that Lin guy shouldn’t make things difficult for her.

At most, he would send her to Juxu Pass.

But she was afraid the girl might get stubborn and do something outrageous, which would anger Lin Miao and cause trouble.

This young Lin guy, with quite a few women around him, had even deceived Sun Youwei. If Qingtang fell into his hands, the consequences...

Situ Wan didn’t dare to imagine the consequences if Qingtang was "ruined." How could she face her late cousin and Marquis Wu An Qingye?

"Meal time."

The place of captivity was unknown, relying solely on meal counts to determine the day; this was the tenth time food was delivered.

The meals tasted alright, albeit inferior to her cooking, but clearly showed traces of the Lin Clan’s private chef.

Obviously, the chef in this place might have been trained at Huaye Tower; otherwise, it wouldn’t have this flavor.

To have become Yaoguang Peak’s senior sister in the sect, she couldn’t lack intelligence. She had to find a way to escape.

The problem was, the room she was confined to could only be opened from outside, and both the meals and the leftover dishes were delivered through a window.

This window was obviously locked, only openable from the outside. Even if she could use Bone Shrinking Skill, without the support of internal breath, she couldn’t get out.

Moreover, without internal breath, she didn’t believe she had the ability to walk out.

Because she heard the sound of hounds barking outside.

However, if she was truly confined here for too long, she would go insane.

"I know a secret. I want to see Lin Miao. I’ll only tell him. If he doesn’t come, I’ll take this secret to my grave!" Situ Wan took a gamble and said to the person delivering her meal.

The maid delivering the meal didn’t respond; she wasn’t allowed to converse with Situ Wan. However, every word Situ Wan said had to be relayed back to Yue Mei’Er.

Situ Wan knew the meal deliverer would pass her words upwards, because as long as her requests weren’t too excessive, they would be met.

She had tested this.

There was no other choice; to regain her freedom, she had to trade that secret. But she also knew the opponent was too cunning, fearing it would be a loss in both respects.

But there was no other option; she had to try this method. She couldn’t be confined here indefinitely, not knowing for how long.

"Also, prepare some things for me; I need them!" Situ Wan handed over a note, filled with items listed.

The note was swiftly taken away.
