Chapter 574: Strange Guard
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Sima You Yue lowered her heard and saw that there was a rare movement coming from the Devil Snare bracelet. She didn’t realise that Wu Lingyu, who was standing beside her, had on a rather strange expression.
“Is there anything the matter with you two?” Feng Zhi Yang, who was walking behind them, asked when he saw that the two of them were standing still.
Sima You Yue looked at the guard who was standing in front of the house and said, “Nothing, I just felt that this person looked rather familiar. I was wondering where I could have seen him before. However, I also realised that he just looks a little similar. Their auras are too different.”
That guard stiffened when he heard what Sima You Yue said. He didn’t say anything though, because Sima You Yue had already walked away. Once everyone had gone off he released a long sigh. He looked in Sima You Yue’s direction and his eyes flashed with a red light.
“Hua Xiu, what’s up with you?” A guard saw him looking in that direction and asked.
“Nothing, I was just wondering who those people were.” Hua Xiu asked while putting on a mask of curiosity.
“You don’t know them?” The guard laughed, “They are from the Feng clan – Lord Liu and his wife.”
“How about those youths with them?” Hua Xiu was actually asking about Sima You Yue specifically, but he didn’t know her name, and did not dare ask too obviously.
“Those people? One of them is Lord Liu’s son, and another one is the Holy Son of the Sage Pavilion. I don’t know who the third person is.” That guard shook his head, “That person seems rather weak I wonder why they brought him here? Places like the Bloody Tunnel are no place for a child like that.”
“Don’t you travel with the Lord often? Why do you not recognise them?”
“That brat seems to be only twenty to thirty years old. I don’t know many people that age!”
“That’s true… haha…”
As Sima You Yue entered the room, Feng Zhi Xing and Tuoba Wu Chen were being placed on two beds. She went to check on their condition, and their situation was rather bad. She took out two bottles of liquid medicine and opened their mouths, feeding them one each.
“You Yue, what did you get them to drink?” Feng Zhi Yang asked.
“Spirit fluid that will slow down the rate of their medicine absorption.” Sima You Yue said.
“Why did you get them to drink that?”
“Their bodies are too taxed, and can’t handle extreme changes. If they absorb it too quickly, it will hurt them instead.” She explained, “Just like how a person who cannot cultivate who is frozen in a snowstorm cannot be broken out just by using hot water.”
Once they heard her explanation, they understood what she meant. What she didn’t say was that the medicine they were given was too potent. However, Liu Feng and the others were intelligent, and understood just by seeing how she acted.
“I have to perform acupuncture for them, to awaken them.” Sima You Yue looked at the people in the house, they could understand from her gaze, which was plainly telling everyone to leave.
“Then, we’ll head off first.” Feng Liu brought the group of people out with him, while Bai Qing and the others remained standing in the house, waiting for them.
Sima You Yue looked at Wu Lingyu, who was standing where he was without moving and inch and asked with her eyebrows raised, “Senior Brother, are you not going to head out?”
“I think you need a helping hand, right? Wu Lingyu said.
A helping hand? He wanted to stay behind to be her helping hand?
Seeing his resolute gaze, she knew that once he had decided on something, he wouldn’t change his mind easily. As such, she did not force him out, but turned around and began to strip Feng Zhi Xing of his clothes. Then, she took out her needles and began her work.
Wu Lingyu saw that she held needles in her right hand, while using her left hand to feel about Feng Zhi Xing’s body. He rushed over and said, “Actually, you can just tell me which acupuncture points they are. I can help you do it.”
Sima You Yue placed the needles in before rolling her eyes as Wu Lingyu, saying,
If you are able to learn how to give acupuncture, I wouldn’t mind letting you do so as well. But, do you know how?”
After this sentence fell, he was stumped. A long while passed before he finally said a sentence meekly, “I can learn.”
“But I have no time to teach you.: Sima You Yue ignored him after that, and continued to perform acupuncture for Feng Zhi Xing.
“That’s right, time is running out…” Wu Lingyu sighed, “Junior Brother, if something happens to us in the future, you have to follow me closely, understand?”
“Understand. You’ve already said this twice before.” Sima You Yue said rather agitatedly, “If you continue speaking, I’m going to throw you out.”
“I’ll keep quiet.” Qu Lingyu really remained quiet from then on and watched as she rushed about.
After half an hour passed, Sima You Yue finished her acupuncture. Feng Zhi Xing and Tuoba Wu Chen were both conscious now.
“Master, how do you feel now?” Sima You Yue walked beside the bed, sat down and asked.
“Much better.” Feng Zhi Xing looked at her gratefully. Who would have thought that after all these years, the two of them would actually meet under such circumstances. At that time, he had left in a grand and elegant way. Unexpectedly, merely a few years passed but she was the one who rescued him.
He looked around him, and saw that she and Wu Lingyu were the only ones in here. He secretly affirmed that Sima You Yue had been poached into the Sage Pavilion.
“Master, this is my Senior Brother, Wu Lingyu.” Sima You Yue saw that Feng Zhi Xing kept eyeing Wu Lingyu, and introduced him because she thought that he was curious as to who he was.
Who would have expected his expression to change once he heard her introduction. He scoffed cold, “I know who the Holy Son of the Sage Pavilion is.”
Sima You Yue didn’t understand why his expression would change as such, “Master?”
“You Yue, how much do you know about the Sage Pavilion?”
“That much.” Sima You Yue said. She had heard quite a bit about the Sage Pavilion from Wu Lingyu. That was why, when she said that she knew about them, she did know quite a fair bit.
“Then you should know that, while they keep up a mask of innocence, they’re a sect that has committed many bad deeds?”
“I do.”
Feng Zhi Xing saw that Sima You Yue admitted to this so quickly and said rather peevishly, “Since you know that they are this kind of sect, why did you still join it?”
“Join the Sage Pavilion?” Sima You Yue was stunned, “I didn’t join the Sage Pavilion though?”
“You didn’t? Then why do you call him Senior Brother?” Feng Zhi Xing was shocked.
Sima You Yue only now understood where his thoughts had travelled to, “Master, Senior’s aster is the Divine Devil Valley’s master. He is my Master right now as well. He teaches me alchemy. That’s why I’m not a member of the Sage Pavilion, but I have a senior-junior relationship with him.”
“You really didn’t join it?” Feng Zhi Xing confirmed again.
Sima You Yue nodded her head definitively.
“That’s good then. A sect like that, you definitely cannot join. Otherwise…”
Wu Lingyu was depressed. In any case, his identity was of the Holy Son of the Sage Pavilion. Could they not ignore him so blatantly?
“Master, you can relax. I will never join the Sage Pavilion. I couldn’t even if I wanted to, anyway.” Sima You Yue said.
“Why is that?”
“Because I once led a troop to eradicate one of their branches in the Restless Continent.”
Feng Zhi Xing and Tuoba Wu Chen were stunned, then Tuoba Wu Chen burst out laughing, “Ha ha ha – not bad, you’ve already gone and eradicated an entire branch clan at such a young age! How bold!”
Feng Zhi Xing smiled as well, asking, “You Yue, what were you doing in the Restless Continent? What are you doing here as well?”
