Xia Chang Tian and them finally realized that Sima You Yue was preparing to go out.
“Where are you going?”
“Didn’t you find something in Fair Eastern City? I’m going to find people of the Tuoba family to ask about it and see what they discovered.” Sima You Yue replied.
“Tuoba family? You’re going to find them?”
“Mm, Tuoba family is more knowledgeable on this matter.” Sima You Yue said. Seeing their expressions were strange, she frowned. “What’s wrong?”
“In fact we had a little disagreement when we first came here.” Xiao Hong replied.
“What disagreement?”
“President Xia said to come see you while the other presidents said they would go to the Tuoba family first. Afterwards, we came here and they went over there.”
“What did you find?”
“Because we didn’t find anything so we went to find them.” Xia Chang Tian replied. “Since you’re going to see Touba family, then let us go with you. Maybe those people haven’t seen them yet!”
Sima You Yue nodded. “Alright, let’s go together.”
She only took Ximen Feng and Bi Sheng along to Tuoba family’s place while the others stayed at Memory Restaurant. When they arrived at the place, and as soon as Sima You Yue reported her name, the guard at the gate said respectfully, “Miss You Yue, the Young Master has ordered that if you come to find him, you will be taken directly in.”
“Young Master?”
“Young Master is Tuoba Han.” The guard explained. “Miss You Yue, please.”
Sima You Yue had never asked Tuoba Han of his status in the family. She didn’t expect that he was the direct Young Master.
The guard took them directly before the meeting room and asked them to wait there while he went in to report.
Very soon, Tuoba Han appeared from inside. “You Yue, you’re here. These two must be President He and President Xia? Han greets the two presidents.”
“Are you busy?” SIma You Yue asked.
“The presidents of the guilds are talking to the family head and I was just listening.” Tuoba Han said.
“Since you’re busy, I’ll come back later.”
“Don’t the guild presidents know that you’re here and have invited you to discuss together. We are talking about Fair Eastern City.” Tuoba Han stopped her.
“Then alright.” Sima You Yue thought about it for a few seconds before agreeing.
Although she didn’t have a good impression of the guild presidents, this matter was not trivial. She would be delaying the matter just because of her little displeasure.
When they came to the meeting room, they saw the guild presidents were all here. Tuoba Hong Ye, the head of the Tuoba family, got up and cupped his hands to Xia Chang Tian’s group. “President Xia, president He, valley master Ximen, and friend You Yue, please sit.”
Xia Chang Tian and He Chen Dong sat down beside the other guild presidents. Sima You Yue, Ximen Feng, Bi Sheng, and Xiao Hong sat beside Touba Han.
“Old Xia, weren’t you going to see her. Why did you bring her along?” Xue Chang Lin asked.
“When we arrived, we happened to meet Sima You Yue going to find Tuoba family’s head. So we came along.” Xia Chang Tian replied.
“Miss You Yue, do you want to talk about the news found in Fair Eastern City?” Fang Ming looked at her expectantly.
“Why, friend You Yue has found something in Fair Eastern City?” Tuoba Hong Ye asked Sima You Yue curiously.
The presidents said that they haven’t anything. He didn’t expect her to have news.
“Tuoba family head, president Fang, you can just call me You Yue.” Sima You Yue felt awkward to have a miss or something added before her name.
“Hahaha, good! Then you can call me Uncle Tuoba.”
Tuoba Hong Ye was someone of straightforward temperament. So when said this, Tuoba Han was embarrassed.
He was a grandfather. If You Yue calls him uncle, wouldn’t he have to call You Yue ‘aunt’? This seniority was too wrong!
Sima You Yue’s face darken a bit. Wasn’t that a bit too close?
“Cough cough, You Yue, what did you find in Fair Eastern City?” Tuoba Han tried to change the topic to hide his embarrassment.
“Oh right, You Yue, you can now tell us what you found?” Xia Chang Tian urged.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Sima You Yue, waiting for her to speak.
“Tuoba… uncle, I want to ask first, is Fair Eastern City special compared to other places?” Sima You Yue asked ahead.
“Special?” Tuoba Hong Ye pondered. “Which aspect do you mean?”
“Does it have anything that attracts the ghost clan?” Sima You Yue directly asked. “I felt the aura of the ghost clan people in Fair Eastern City.”
“What?” Tuoba Hong Ye’s expression changed suddenly. “Is what you say true?”
Everyone noticed his over reaction. They knew that there must be something others didn’t know.
“Why, is Fair Eastern City really related to the ghost clan?” He Chen Dong asked.
Tuoba Hong Ye showed some hesitation. An elder of Tuoba family started, “Family head, the matter has already reached this point, what need is there to conceal it. Only by speaking out that we can solve this problem. Otherwise, it would be a bigger problem in the future!”
Tuoba Hong Ye sighed. “It’s not that I don’t understand… it just… sigh!”
The presidents looked at each other. There really was something hidden inside!
“Sigh!” Tuoba Hong Ye sighed again. “As things are up to now, needless to say, it will be a big problem in the future. I’m afraid we won’t be able to get through this time.”
“Family head, this Fair Eastern City…” Tuoba Han never paid much attention to Fair Eastern City before. He didn’t know that this city was actually related to the fate of this family.
“Tuoba family head, the situation is critical now. I’m afraid even if you don’t want to talk about it, you still would have to.” Fan Yuan Long siad.
“You Yue, are you sure it is the aura of the ghost clan?” Tuoba Hong Ye asked.
“It is certain. Not only can I be sure that this matter is related to the ghost clan, I also know what’s going inside.” Sima You Yue affirmed
“You know? What’s going on inside?”
Sima You Yue thought for a while. She took out a piece of crystal clear jade, then infused divine sense into it and then let Ximen Feng inject spirit power in.
The jade gave off a burst of light. Several pictures slowly formed from the light. One was the empty Fair Eastern City, one was of people walking about dully, and one of the huge pit outside of the city, where people were controlled to dig the pit.
The three pictures were fleeting, but all the people present could see it clearly.
For several months, everyone gained nothing of the situation in Fair Eastern City. They didn’t know that it had evolved into this. Although they did not know how she came to attain this, it was definitely not easy to get this information.
No wonder she was badly injured before.
“Sigh, since the ghost clan has committed this deed, then I must tell you this matter.” Tuoba Hong Ye sighed and explained what he knew about Fair Eastern City.
