Chapter 1641: Untitled
Xu Jin and Ge Lang saw how she protected them, and their hearts were warm.
“It’s a pity that we didn’t manage to find a way to resolve the issue with your physique.” Ge Lang said rather ruefully. He looked at Sima You Yue with a gaze that turned to worry.
“How is your body now?” Xu Jin’s eyebrows were furrowed tightly. They had come here this time to help her find a way to resolve her physique. However, they didn’t manage to find any solution. Today, regardless of whether or not she was able to rescue them, the problem of her physique would perplex her.
He saw how she had grown much stronger, and the issue with her physique would become more pronounced. What if they couldn’t find a solution? What would she do then?
Sima You Yue didn’t think that they would remember why they came here even though they had been here for a few tens of years. Up till now, they hadn’t asked her how she planned to leave this place. Instead, they were worried about her body.
“Master, you guys can relax. I have a way to resolve this issue. It’s just that I’m not powerful enough for now, so I cannot do anything.” Sima You Yue said.
“Really?”
“Of course. How could I mess around with my own life?” Sima You Yue said.
“That would be great if so.” Ge Lang and Xu Jin could finally relax after all these years of worry.
“You YUe, if it’s possible, rescue all the others from here as well.” Ge Lang said.
It was only by being trapped in here together that they knew the kind of despair in their hearts. Everyone was an outsider, so they should help them if they could.
“Those few old coots aren’t easy to defeat. You Yue, are you confident?” Xu Jin asked.
The pinnacle of the Paragon rank. That wasn’t an easy rank to defeat. If they added on the network of the Hao Clan, it wouldn’t be that easy if they wanted to defeat them.
“Master, your mission during this period of time is to nurse your bodies back to health. Just leave the rest to me. You have to believe that if I was able to enter, I also have a way to get out. Your bodies are rather weak now, so don’t worry yourself over other things.” Sima You Yue nagged.
Xu Jin glanced helplessly at Ge Lang, “I never thought there would be a day where we would be fussed about like this!”
“And disdained.” Ge Lang laughed.
“But this feeling isn’t too bad.” Xu Jin smiled lightly. He looked to be in a pretty good mood, and wasn’t upset about being fussed over.
“You guys are all grown up.” Ge Lang sighed.
“You speak as if we’re so old.” Xu Jin pursed his lips.
Although they were in a worse condition than before, they were still handsome and charming, with limitless prospects.
Sima You Yue looked at them pointedly for their narcissism and got them to stay in the house to recuperate.
In order to keep them safe, she even got Jiang Jun Xian and the others to enter the Spirit Pagoda. She remained alone outside to observe the situation. After notifying Xu Jin and Ge Lang, she left Flowey and Little Dream behind and left the courtyard.
Just before she returned,she secretly snuck into the treasure pavilion and set it on fire. As she left the place, it was still very chaotic over there.
She kept away her murderous intent and transformed completely into the person. She looked over at the treasury but turned around and left without getting involved.
There were many herbs inside this treasury along with the medical contributions of those who had been trapped and other things like that. Although these things were not as ancient as those outside, they were definitely not any less valuable.
As such, when the treasury was on fire, everyone was anxious. Even those old creatures were frantic.
Furthermore, this fire was extremely weird. No matter what they did, they could not extinguish the fire. A Pinnacle Paragon expert even brought over the waters from the ocean and emptied out half of it. However, even after the water poured down torrentially, the fire continued to burn.
Sima You Yue let it burn slowly, allowing the Hao Clansmen to watch as their treasury slowly b burnt to the ground. She let them feel the heartache.
The entire treasury burned for a day. By the time the fire was slowly extinguished, the treasury was nothing but ash.
Was there a fire in this world that could not be extinguished? The answer was definitely negative. If that were really the case, that meant that someone was messing with them.
The few paragon experts raged and ordered those people to investigate immediately. Especially the few more powerful people who had made trouble recently along with those who had just arrived.
Of course Sima You Yue was one of the few who were investigated, but nobody felt like it was her. That was because she was too young and had only been here for a few tens of days. There was no way it could have been her.
That was why those people merely came to her courtyard to take a look. When they saw Thousand Resonance sitting there obediently, they eliminated the possibility of it being her.
Shortly after they left, Sima You Yue returned to her courtyard and Thousand Resonance could be considered to have fulfilled his mission.
Sima You Yue kept him into her Spirit Pagoda, then moved out a rocking chair and placed it by the door of her courtyard. She lay on it as she observed the activity at the treasury.
An old man came over from the side and was shocked when he saw Sima You Yue.
“Young Lady, why didn’t you come out recently!”
Thousand Resonance had been here the past few days, so he had called for her for a few days but she did not come out.
“I was a little troubled a few days ago.” Sima You Yue gave him an explanation that didn’t really explain anything.
The old man saw her lounging about lazily and felt like she had changed somewhat. She wasn’t as scatterbrained as before and had become more apathetic.
“Little girl, it seems like you’ve thought things through?” He secretly clucked his tongue in wonder. This brat had this kind of countenance although she was so young. Just what kind of power had nurtured this weirdo? If not because her aura was really of an outsider, he would have thought that she was from a clan on this island.
Sima You Yue merely smiled. Her previous scatterbrained image was fake. Furthermore, she had now found her master and teacher, so she was obviously no longer worried or anxious anymore.
“Grandpa, why didn’t those people catch you and interrogate you?” She pointed her chin towards the direction of the treasury.
The old man had begun drinking tea again. When he heard what Sima You Yue asked, he clicked his tongue and sighed.
“Naturally, it’s because they consider me to be an obedient one.” The old man said, “I’ve never stood up against them, so they naturally won’t think of me when these kinds of things happen.”
“You’ve handed over your arts?”
“Of course. In any case, my skills weren’t imparted to me by any decent master. He never made me promise not to teach anybody. Why would I let myself be tortured for nothing!” The old man said without a care.
“Then what are you still doing here?” Someone like him should be with the Hao Clan already, right?”
“I’ve handed my skills over to them but not my loyalty. Although the world is small, my heart is still my own.” The old man chuckled twice, but his feelings were still complex.
Sima You Yue was moved. As she looked at his gaze, she was subconsciously filled with respect for him.
“Grandpa, if you were able to leave this place, would you return to your clan?”
The old man shook his head, “I have no home anymore. I’d merely float with the wind if I left this place. Nothing holds me down, which is the only reason why I could remain in this place so freely, no?”
