Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Sima You Yue went to Xi Er Mo’s Manor alone. By the ti she had arrived, Xiao Ling had already left. When the guard saw her, he took her inside imdiately.
This ti, it was in the West Garden, in the pavilion again. The guard took her under the rockery and Sima You Yue walked up by herself. When she saw the tea tray on the stone table, she walked over very consciously and began to prepare tea.
One person brewed tea while the other watched, neither of them spoke. Although there was silence, it didn’t feel awkward.
It wasn’t until she had finished preparing the tea and brought it to Xi Er Mo and he tasted the tea, then he put the teacup down and asked her: “You’re so calm, aren’t you curious as to why I’ve asked you here?”
“You’ve not asked here to make tea for you, so after I have made the tea, you will naturally tell . Why do I need to be in a hurry to know?”
Sima You Yue also made a cup of tea for herself. The two of them held their teacups and sat leisurely in the pavilion sipping their tea slowly. No one was in a hurry.
“It’s not good to not have any sense of curiosity at your age.” Xi Er Mo said.
“Actually, it’s not that I’m not curious, it’s just that I feel that even if I ask, you might not tell .” Sima You Yue said.
“If you don’t ask, how do you know I won’t tell?”
“Do you know my Mother?” Sima You Yue asked, she noticed that his expression had changed, and she said: “You told to ask.”
“Why do you think so?”
“It’s just a feeling.” Sima You Yue said, “Everyti you look at , it’s like you’re looking at and it’s also like you’re looking at soone else through . Sotis your eyes are very focused, sotis very erratic. This isn’t the first ti I have seen it.”
Back at Yi Lin Continent, Master Feng also looked at her in the sa way. At that ti, she had felt bad for him, but now that she has seen this look again, she understood it even better.
Xi Er Mo was silent, his emotionless expression was a little scary. Even Xiao Ling didn’t dare to speak so freely. Therefore, Sima You Yue who didn’t know him well was forced to be silent.
She didn’t know if he was angry, nor did she know what he looked like when he was angry. Therefore, she didn’t know what she should say, nor did she dare to say anything.
After a while, he said softly, “So there are still people like .”
He was answering her question indirectly.
Sima You Yue knew in her heart that her guess was right. All these things did happen because of her Mother. He released Leng Feng and the others not because she was Xiao Ling’s Master, it was because they were her Mother’s guards.
No wonder he was so easygoing, everything had a reason.
However, it was precisely also because of this that she didn’t know how to talk to him.
She sighed in her heart, it seed that her Mother had a lot of luck in love in the past, she wondered how her father had managed to capture her heart back then.
“How is your Mother now?” Xi Er Mo asked.
“You called here to ask this? Haven’t you heard about what happened to my Mother?” Sima You Yue looked at him and realised that he truly didn’t know, and she said in surprise: “My Mother’s affairs was the biggest news in the whole of the Ghost Realm, how could you not know?”
“Did sothing happen to her?”
Sima You Yue wanted to say, don’t you like my Mother? Don’t you think of my Mother when you look at ? How could you not have known when such a big thing had happened to my Mother?
Maybe her expression was too obvious and Xi Er Mo wanted very much to know about Yu Ke Luo’s affairs, so he explained very uncomfortably: “Back then when I told her, she rejected outright. I was very angry at the ti, so I stopped caring about her affairs and I forbade my subordinates to tell any news about her.”
“I see.” Sima You Yue said, “My Mother has been suppressed in the Abyss of Hell, it has already been one or two hundred years.”
One of two hundred years was a long ti to her, but not for soone with his power. This was not considered long, it was more like the ti taken in seclusion or for an experience. However, he hadn’t expected the next ti he heard about her news would be about her being suppressed.
“I didn’t know…” He said blankly.
What could he have done even if he had known?
“What happened? Who suppressed her?”
“It was my grandfather.”
“The Ghost King? Why? Didn’t he dote on her very much?” Xi Er Mo was surprised.
“It was because of so things.” Sima You Yue didn’t elaborate.
“Where was she suppressed?”
“I don’t know either. My Grandfather didn’t tell .” Sima You Yue said, “I was going to go back to ask him but I received news about Leng Feng and the others so I ca here instead.”
Sima You Yue then told him about how the Ghost King had wanted her to break through to Underworld Paragon before he told her about the Cardinal Points Divine Seal.
“So you don’t know your Mother’s whereabouts either?” Xi Er Mo said.
“Yes.”
“Is there sothing you need to do?” Xi Er Mo asked.
“No.” Sima You Yue said, “If there is, I will let you know.”
Xi Er Mo looked at her, he tried to see if he could tell whether her words were sincere or perfunctory. When he saw that Sima You Yue’s eyes looked sincere and she didn’t seem like she was being dismissive, he nodded.
“I heard that your relationship with Xu Wu is not good?” Sima You Yue asked.
“You want to help you deal with Xu Wu?”
“No, I just want to get so information from you.” Sima You Yue said, “As the saying goes, The person who knows yourself the best is not yourself but your enemy. I want to know more about him, and the best way to do that is to ask you.”
“You don’t have to worry about Xu Wu, he won’t do anything to you.” Xi Er Mo said with certainty.
“Are you sure? He sent soone to the inn to kill .” Sima You Yue said.
“If he knows your identity he won’t bother you.”
“Why?”
“Because he once received a favor from your grandfather. Did you know that he is from the Soul Region?”
“Yes. That’s why he has many Soul Clansn are under his command.”
“Many years ago, he was nearly killed in the Soul Region but he was saved by your grandfather who let him co here. He has always rembered the Ghost King’s kindness, and now that he knows you are his granddaughter, naturally he won’t make things difficult for you.”
“Are you sure? He sent people to the inn to abduct before.” Sima You Yue thought that what he had said was a little vague.
“Of course. He will, on the account of your grandfather. That only happened before he knew your real identity. If he didn’t know who you were or anything about your identity at all, it was not surprising that he would do such a thing at all.”
“What you said does make sense.” Sima You Yue said, “It seems that soone had deceived him and kept him in the dark. I wonder if he will be angry when he finds out that his own n don’t listen to his orders and have beco soone else’s lackeys instead.”
“He is a proud man, if you want to deal with his subordinates, it’s best not to bypass him.” Xi Er Mo said.
“You an I should go to look for him? I’m afraid I won’t be able to see him.”
“Surely this won’t be difficult for you, right?”
“I have to go back and think about it.” Sima You Yue said.. She felt movent in her interspatial ring and when she took it out, she heard Fu Xi’s cry: “You Yue, co back quickly, those people are coming to attack the inn!”
