Chapter 1677: Investigating what happened that year (2)
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
In order for her to go around easily, Sima You Yue kept all her guards into her Little Realm. She went out on her own.
Thaty day, she had opened her Little Realm in front of everyone, so everyone now knew that she had a Little Realm and that inside that Little Realm had many experts. Even though she was alone now, nobody dared to bully her.
The spatial ship that would bring her to the Fifth State was in another city. When Sima You Yue took the teleportation array, she happened to take the exact same spatial ship that she took that day.
This place was not far from Sublime City. Sima You Yue’s name had long since travelled here and everyone greeted her warmly when they saw her.
They were so passionate that even the servant girls on the spatial ship took a longer look at her.
Sima You Yue followed behind the group and noticed that the people in front of her paid twenty thousand upper ranked crystals each for their boarding fees. When it was her turn, she took out twenty thousand as well and handed it to the servant girl in exchange for her ticket.
“You are Sima You Yue?” The servant girl suddenly asked when she took her ticket.
“That’s right. Is anything the matter?” Sima You Yue stopped.
“Nothing. I just heard of you, so I was rather curious.” The servant girl replied.
Sima You Yue nodded before heading to her room.
The rooms here were cleaned for everyone. However, she still took out her own little couch and placed it on the ground before going to lie on it. Her right hand fiddled with the devil snare bracelet on her wrist.
This guy had not sent her news for a long time, so she had no idea how things were for him back in the devil realm.
“Feng Er said that the devil realm is chaotic right now. Sigh, that guy’s situation is definitely pessimistic. Otherwise, he would have sent word by now.” She started to become a little solemn, “I wonder if I will be able to find him if I go to the devil realm.”
“Yue Yue, do you want to go to the devil realm? What is the devil realm like? When are we going to go to the devil realm?” Little Lucky was currently lying on her head and playing with her hair. When he heard what she said, he asked with curiosity.
“I’m just thinking about it now. It’s something that even Wu Lingyu can’t settle. With my power, I would only be dragging him down if I went.” Sima You Yue said, “Also, if I went there without contacting him and didn’t manage to find him, I might just end up losing my little life there. Hence, I can’t go there now.”
“But you miss him a lot!” Little Lucky stared at her with his large round shiny eyes.
“Without being able to finish settling the issue involving the undead, I wouldn’t be able to leave calmly either.” Sima You Yue sighed, “I haven’t solved Mother’s issue either. I have tarried in this place for too long, and she should be suffering somewhat over where she is. I’m even more worried that Father and the others will not be able to wait and run over to the ghost realm on their own.”
“Yue Yue, you are worried about too many things.” Little Lucky pulled her hair, “You’ll be too tired this way.”
“It’s a lot better now, and there are less things on my plate than before. Sigh, we’d better tackle these things one at a time. The most important is still to take revenge on Mother’s behalf. If not because those people poisoned my mother, causing her to expand her spirit energy when I was born, how could she have ended up so passive?”
“Mm, those who covet after Uncle Liu Xuan are bad people. Little Lucky will help you beat up the bad guys!” Little Lucky patted his chest.
Sima You Yue stretched forth a hand to pat Little Lucky’s head, “Your father has been busy lately, don’t you want to go and help him share some of his burdens?”
“Father has so many people by his side. Right now, he has also found so many spirit beasts who were born in the same time period as he was. He doesn’t need me! I’d better stay with Yue Yue and have more fun.” Little Lucky was not interested in the things involving the ancient spirit beasts. He had no plans to take after his father either, so he had no desire to return at all.
Sima You Yue smiled, not forcing him either. In any case, he was still young. It was fine if he didn’t participate in these things.
“Yue Yue, I want to eat spirit fruits.” Little Lucky put her hair down and climbed onto her tummy.
Sima You Yue took out a tray of spirit fruits and he carried them to a corner and ate them. She watched as he ate the spirit fruits so carefree and her mouth hooked into a light smile. The smile carried some traces of gentleness, helplessness and worry.
For the rest of the time, she seemed to spend it in her house and rarely went out. She stayed like this until someone knocked on her door.
She was currently reading in the room and felt that it was rather strange when she heard the knock on the door. Why would someone be looking for her now?
She placed her book down and went to open the door. When she saw the person standing outside, she was shocked.
“It’s you?”
Yin Su Su smiled at her, saying, “I heard that you were here so I came over. I’m not disturbing you, am I?”
“You’re not. Please come in.” Sima You Yue stood up and let Yin Su Su enter.
Yin Su Su smiled and went into her room. When she saw her book lying on the table, she asked, “Were you reading just now?”
“That’s right.” Sima You Yue closed the door before pouring her a cup of tea, “Young Miss Yin, why are you here?”
“You became sworn siblings with my youngest uncle, so you’re technically one generation above me. You can just call me Su Su. I’ll call you Yue Yue, how about it?” Yin Su Su asked.
“Of course you can.” Sima You Yue replied, “How is Yin Lang doing right now?”
“How else can he be? He’s the same as he always was. He’s cooped up in Tangerine City and won’t come out. The Patriarch wants him to return, but he won’t even meet those people. The Patriarch can’t do anything.” Yin Su Su sounded rather helpless when she talked about this willful uncle of hers. “Right, are you going to the Fifth State to participate in the Yuan Clan’s Gathering?”
“That’s right. You too?”
“Not me. I just happen to have to go to the Fifth State for something. That’s how I ended up on the same path as you.” Yin Su Su said, “This Yuan Clan enjoys throwing these kinds of gatherings. It’s extremely meaningless. If you feel bored at that time, you can still come and look for me.”
“You seem to dislike the Yuan Clan?” Sima You Yue inquired.
Yin Su Su didn’t expect her to detect it immediately and laughed a little sheepishly, saying, “The Yuan Clan isn’t too bad. I just don’t really like the few Young Misses of the Yuan Clan.”
“What’s wrong with those few Young Misses?”
“Isn’t it because they’re arrogant and think so highly of themselves? They look down on others and enjoy suppressing those who are of lower status than they are. When they see those who are more talented, their noses really can bend. They’re following those peacocks everyday and enjoy having a group of men around them.” Yin Su Su was familiar with Sima You Yue, so she spoke more casually and openly.
“Pfff-” Sima You Yue laughed, “Did they bully you before?”
“No, they haven’t. Although my clan is in the Forty Ninth State, my status is similar to theirs. They still don’t dare to bully me. I just met them a few times.” Yin Su Su said, “Now that you mention it, their boss even had some fantasies about your father before.”
“Really?”
“Mm, I was there back then. I happened to see her harassing your father everyday. This Eldest Miss of the Yuan Clan almost appeared so cold and aloof, so it seemed like she was different from her few younger sisters. However, they’re still made of the same stuff. I even heard later on that her relationship with your mother wasn’t bad, but once something happened to them, she didn’t even bother going to take a look before saying that she refused to help.” Yin Su Su said.
Sima You Yue was secretly taken aback. She didn’t think that Yin Su Su actually knew about her mother and father as well!
“Su Su, what else do you know? Can you tell me everything?”
