Description of the O'Mei Priestess, Mie Jue

Mie Jue: to exterminate

"Approaching, she appeared to be about forty-five years of age and quite attractive, too, if not for two long eyebrows that slanted downwards, thus making her appear odd and strange, a bit like the theatrical ghosts you see on stage who died by hanging."
-p. 583, Chapter 13.

Update on Ji Xiaofu's Rape

When Mie Jue finally found Ji Xiaofu in Butterfly Valley, Ji finally had a chance to explain what exactly happened to her. Apparently, she was stalked and harrassed by Yang Xiao for several weeks before he finally kidnapped her. She was forced to stay with him for several months. When his enemies came looking for him, that's when she was able to escape. After that, she found out that she was pregnant, and so she decided to have the baby.

When Ji asked Mie Jue if Yang Xiao and O'Mei had any previous encounters, Mie Jue explained that it was Yang who drove another O'Mei disciple to death. Upon hearing this, Ji actually felt proud of Yang, that he was able to accomplish this.

Following this conversation, Mie Jue still wants Ji to be her successor at O'Mei, but before she transfers power to Ji, Mie Jue wants Ji to do one more thing to prove her loyalty to O'Mei. That is, kill the evil Yang Xiao. Ji, surprisingly, refuses. Because of her disobedience, Mie Jue kills Ji as punishment.
