Chapter 439: Going ahead to be a guest
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
When the Zhuo clansmen heard what Zhuo Shu Ren said, they could not help but purse their lips. This guy was really shameless, alright. Just now, he had been going off about getting them to kick Sima You Yue out, but in a flash, he was kissing her ass.
“Inviting me to be your guest?” Sima You Yue’s voice sounded unconvinced with a tinge of wanting to go as well.
When Zhou Shu Ren heard her tone, he felt that there was a fun game to play, so he quickly followed up saying, “That’s right. If you, this great master, comes to our Heavenly Tiger Range, we will naturally host you. We invite you to stay with us for a few days.”
“I heard that Heavenly Tiger Hall is the most powerful in the Heavenly Tiger range and wanted to take a look as well. I intended to go along with the Zhuo clan when they went to pay tribute to you guys…”
“If Great Master wants to come, why would you need to wait until the time to pay tribute? You could go now.” Zhou Shu Ren said, “I can take Great Master over to Heavenly Tiger Hall now.”
“You? Didn’t you come here on a mission commissioned by the Heavenly Tiger Hall?” Sima You Yue asked questioningly.
“Eh this… I can hold on that mission for now. The most important thing would be for me to bring Great Master to the Heavenly Tiger Hall.”
“There’s no rush, I still have things to do for the next two days. You can settle your issue first. We will go to the Heavenly Tiger Hall two days later.”
“This…” Zhou Shu Ren was a little suspicious. What if Sima You Yue ran away during these two days?
“Creak-”
The room door opened, and Sima You Yue came out. When he saw that the great array master was actually such a young lad, Zhou Shou Ren was shocked speechless.
“Hall Master Zhou can rest assured and go about doing your things. I will go to your Zhuo clan after two days. After two days, I’ll have to trouble you to take me on a tour around Heavenly Tiger Hall.” Sima You Yue said, “Is two days enough time?”
“It’s enough, it’s enough. I’ll come again in two days.” Zhou Shu Ren replied, “I’ll see you.”
He cupped his fist and left, taking his people along with him.
Although he wanted to take Sima You Yue with him immediately, he couldn’t show that he was over eager. If she were to find out, it would be troublesome if she wouldn’t leave with him anymore.
Once they left the large gates of the Zhou clan, Zhou Shu Ren harrumphed, “The two of you stand guard here. You definitely cannot let him leave.”
“Hall Master, are we really going to take him to the Heavenly Tiger Hall?” That cart driver asked.
“How could it be!” Third Ding knocked that carriage driver on the head, saying, “That person is currently in the array, so we have no way to deal with him. Once he exits the array, wouldn’t he fall into our clutches?”
“Oh, I see.” The carriage driver nodded.
“The two of you better watch him closely. You better not mess up. If I cannot find him two days later, I will hold you two accountable.” Zhou Shu Ren got on the beast carriage himself once he finished speaking, and let the carriage driver take him away.
Once Zhou Shu Ren left, Zhuo Ran turned to Sima You Yue worried, saying, “I’m really sorry. We didn’t know that Zhou Shu Ren would come here either.”
“This has nothing to do with you. Don’t worry about it.” Sima You Yue said.
“You Yue, are you really going to go with them to Heavenly Tiger Hall?” Zhuo Ma asked.
Sima You Yue nodded.
“You Yue, that Zhou Shu Ren is a super petty person. Now that you’ve offended him, you’ll definitely meet danger if you leave with him. If you want to go to the main city, why don’t you go with us when we leave to pay tribute?” Zhuo Ran said, disagreeing with her.
“No need, if I don’t leave, that Heavenly Tiger Hall will definitely not let you all off.” Sima You Yue said, “Also, I want to go outside to find out a bit of news.”
“Okay then.” Hearing what Sima You Yue said, Zhuo Ran didn’t force it.
These two days, Sima You Yue set up a protection array around the Zhuo clan. Of course, it was commissioned and was paid for it.
.
It was hard for the Zhuo clan to chance upon an array master. Furthermore, one that was so high tier. It was natural that they would grab the opportunity. Although the price was pretty steep, they would set it up even if they had to borrow it.
Otherwise, where were they going to find an array master once she left!
Furthermore, Sima You Yue was willing to wait another two days because she wanted to see if any changes would happen to the Spirit Pagoda. Since Little Roar could come out, that meant that her other contracted beasts would be able to soon too.
Furthermore, the spirit pagoda was healing at a speed that the eye could see. There should be huge changes within these two days.
As expected, two days later, she was able to call forth all of her spirit beasts. With Halcyon and the others, it could be considered as having been rewarded with her test.
Once the two days mark passed, Zhou Shu Ren came to the Zhuo clan. It was only when he found out from his subordinate that Sima You Yue had not left the Zhuo clan that he relaxed.
Sima You yue hugged Little Roar and came out of the Zhuo Clan. The moment she came out, she saw Zhou Shu Ren kissing ass.
Zhou Shu Ren followed her in and closed the door behind him. Then, the carriage driver moved off.
“Hall Master Zhou, you’re the master of a hall, so how could you not have a flying beast carriage?” Sima You Yue said while stretching out a hand to pet Little Roar.
“Great Master may not know this, but there are very few beast tamer masters. It has been a long time since a beast tamer master has appeared here. That’s why only the past hall masters have flying beasts.” Although Zhou Shu Ren was secretly unhappy, his smile was still pleasant as he explained, “Actually, the Hall has some, but I didn’t take the flying beast because I was rushing. Two days wasn’t enough time for me to go back for it.”
Sima You Yue was shocked. It’d been a long time since a beast tamer master appeared here? Was it that there were too little beast tamer masters, or was this place just too remote?
“How many days will it take for us to get to Heavenly Tiger Hall?”
“Around twenty days.”
Sima You Yue’s hand shook. Twenty days… the people up here really had long lives, that they didn’t mind wasting it!
She did not want to waste so much time.
Furthermore, she didn’t think that Zhou Shu Ren would give her so much time. He was still cordial right now because he hadn’t properly gauged her strength. She guessed that he would act against her soon enough.
Just as she guessed, Zhou Shu Ren had been conversing with her the whole way to sound her out. However, she didn’t give anything away and merely went along with him, tell him about how she had come up from the continent below and how she hadn’t recovered from her injuries etc.
Zhou Shu Ren saw that she wasn’t lying, and was over the moon when gauged her strength.
She had fought her way up from the continent below, which showed that no backer. If he killed her, he wouldn’t bring too much trouble upon himself.
She had yet to recover, so it meant that she was powerless apart from her arrays. As long as she didn’t set up any arrays, it would be fine.
They continued to walk on for seven to eight days, and once Zhou Shu Ren ascertained that Sima You Yue didn’t have the ability to fight, he revealed his true self.
At that time, they were resting in a valley when Zhou Shu Ren and his three subordinates surrounded Sima You Yue. They looked ferocious and it seemed that they were planning on killing her off.
Sima You Yue wasn’t anxious as all, as she said with a smile, “I thought that you would act three days of leaving the Zhuo clan. I never thought that you would be so cautious and wait for so many days. However, I just happened to need those few days to adjust. I really have to thank you.”
