Sima You Yue had also considered the two points that Ximen Feng had pointed out. He was right. These people were fugitives, so it wouldn’t be easy to get add them to their manpower. More than just accepting them, they had to consider their past issues as well.
“Let’s cross that bridge when it comes to it.” She looked at Ximen Feng furrowing his eyebrows and said, “Actually, it’s not like it’s impossible to solve that problem.”
“You’ve already thought of a solution?” Ximen Feng looked at her with a hopeful gaze. In the past, no matter what problems they had, they just had to tell her and she would think of something.
“If we are able to increase our power, we can just expand to the point in which their opponents wouldn’t dare to take revenge.” Sima You Yue said.
Ximen Feng’s eyes shone as he cried out with a smile, “I knew you could think of something!”
As long as they grew powerful enough, nobody would dare mess with them lightly. Even if their opponents knew where they were, who would dare come and mess with them? At that point, they just had to step out and mediate and those old grudges would be settled.
If the grudges couldn’t be solved, then they would just take it as it came. Anyway, they could try to kill one person, but who would dare fight the entire group backing them?
“Of course, who’s the older one here?” Sima You Yue said cockily.
“Yes yes, you’re the boss.” Ximen Feng said with a smile. “Since it’s been decided, I’ll have to start making the proper preparations. Otherwise, they won’t have any resources to use for cultivation when they come.”
“Yeah. we can plan this together thoroughly.” Sima You yue said, “I’m still a student of a sect right now, so I don’t have much time. I’ll have to leave the rest of the things to you.”
“Relax, I’ll settle the things well.” Ximen Feng said.
“I’ve never worried when it came to your ability.” Sima You Yue stretched forth a hand to pat Ximen Feng on the head, just like she used to. “However, it’s better to remain low-key with this. That’s why, for the Kong Valley…”
“I know what I should tell them. I’m just afraid that it may be tougher with regards to Xiang Yi.” Ximen Feng said.
“Xiang Yi is a good girl. What are your intentions towards her? If you are interested in her, we should marry her. Although you’re the sole survivor of our Ximen clan, but you’re just like Little Rox in this aspect., You have more than enough to accompany the Young Miss of the Kong Valley. If you’re not interested in her, you should make things clear from the onset. Don’t tie the the young maiden to you. It’d be a waste of her time.” Sima You Yue looked at him pointedly.
“I understand.” Ximen Feng replied.
“What do you mean you understand? You understand how you feel towards her? Or you understand what I mean?” Sima You Yue beamed at him, “Tell me, do you like her or not?”
“Sis, what are you asking me this for? We were talking about expanding our influence.” Ximen Feng said evasively.
“It because I’m worried about this, okay!” Sima You Yue retracted her hand and said, “You’re the only one left of our Ximen Clan. You have the responsibility to carry on our bloodline. Open up the branches and let the leaves grow. It would be best if you could give birth to a whole bunch of babies, and let them do the same. The earlier the Ximen Clan can flourish, the better.”
“Sis, you’re really not the one who blame for what happened back then. You’re placing too much blame on yourself.” Ximen Feng suddenly said.
The smile on Sima You Yue’s face slowly faded away as she leaned on the back of the chair. She let the sun shine on her face as she closed her eyes, letting warm streams of tears flow down her face.
“If it were not because of me… if it were not because of me…” She never stopped thinking about what happened, and was never truly at rest.
Even if she could defeat all of her enemies and exterminate the entirety of the Zong Zheng Clan and the Yin Yang palace, she would never be at peace. Because the relatives that died would never come back, and the beautiful lives lost would never return.
“Sister, if mother and father knew that you kept blaming yourself, they would definitely worry even in the spirit world.”
Sima You Yue suddenly opened her eyes and looked directly at Ximen Feng. Her gaze caused his hair to sand on end.
“What are you looking at me like that for?”
“Spirit world. You said spirit world.” Sima You Yue said. “When people die, their spirits enter the spirit world. So does that mean that mother and father have also entered the spirit world. Would they be around or not?”
“This… this isn’t that possible…” Ximen Feng said with uncertainty.
“Not that possible, but it might be?” Sima You Yue said.
“Maybe.” Ximen Feng said, “I’m not too familiar with the Spirit world. I don’t know whether or not spirits that enter there are still living. I’m even less sure whether or not people can enter there without dying.”
After Ximen Feng said this, Sima You Yue’s eyes darkened a bit and didn’t speak any further.
A this moment, a sound suddenly came from the courtyard entrance. The both of them looked up and towards that direction and watched as Kong Xiang Yi walked in.
“You Yue, are you feeling better?” Kong Xiang Yi walked over and dashed right in front of Sima You Yue, putting her face close to hers to take a good look. “You’re so pale, and your eyes are so listless. Why haven’t you recovered after so long?”
“People like us who cultivate will find it very troublesome when we injure our souls. At least it’s not impossible for our souls to recover.” Sima You Yue said.
“You’re just comforting me, aren’t you? Even if you say this, I’m still extremely guilty. If it were not for us, Feng would not have continued to use his seal. If he were not in such a dangerous position, he would not have ignored his own consciousness and entered such a dangerous place.” Kong Xiang Yi said remorsefully.
“It was Dear Feng’s choice to remove his seal. There is no need for you to blame yourself.” Sima You Yue said, “In any case, aren’t we perfectly fine?”
She had noticed Ximen Feng’s reaction just now. With how well she understood him, how could she not have understood what was going on in his head? Since she would be one of their own in the future, and it truly was Feng’s decision to remove the seal, there was no way she would blame her.
However, Kong Xiang Yi didn’t feel this way as she clenched both hands into fists and declared solemnly, “I, Kong Xiang Yi, pledge you my life from now on and into the future. No matter what you want me to do, as long as it does not harm the Kong Valley, I will risk my life and limb.”
“Don’t say that. If you really risked life and limb, Dear Feng would hate him to death. We’ll be a family in the future, okay.” Sima You Yue teased.
“What rubbish are you saying?!” Kong Xiang Yi glared angrily at Sima You Yue.
“What? Don’t you want to start a family with me or Dear Feng? Or are you saying that Dear Feng wouldn’t hate me?” Sima You Yue even glanced over at Ximen Feng, “Initially, I wanted to wait till Dear Feng matured before going to the Kong Valley to ask for marriage. But it looks like you don’t want to. Dear Feng, since Xiang Yi doesn’t want to, I don’t think you should chase her!”
“I didn’t say I didn’t want to!” Kong Xiang Yi quickly retorted.
“That means that you want to.” Sima You Yue laughed out loud when she saw Kong Xiang Yi’s red tinted face and beamed with joy.
“You Yue, stop teasing me. I’ll ignore you in the future!” Kong Xiang Yi was embarrassed under her teasing, and threatened.
“Can you ignore me? Then you shouldn’t follow after me and call me Big sis, okay! If you ignore me, doesn’t that mean you don’t want Dear Feng anymore?”
“I…”
Ximen Feng saw that Sima You Yue had teased Kong Xiang Yi till her mind was running in circles and stood up, going over to carry Sima You Yue, “You’ve been outside for a long time today. It’s time to go back.”
Sima You Yue was nestled inside Ximen Feng’s embrace as she said, “Dear Feng, don’t forget me when you’ve married your wife.”
