Chapter 2051: Conspiracy
For some reason, she felt that the feeling Xi Er Mo gave her was that of someone delicate, and not a feeling that an Honorable should have.
Leng Feng and the others’ condition looked quite bad and she wanted to take them back quickly so that she could examine them. However, Xi Er Mo was too talkative and it made her feel he was untruthful.
“Of course.” Xi Er Mo nodded, “But I have something to ask you. Come back again once you have settled your affairs.”
Sima You Yue didn’t know what he wanted to ask her, but she nodded and agreed.
Xiao Ling wanted to leave with her, but he was stopped by Xi Er Mo.
Sima You Yue left with the group of people and she examined them once they had returned to the inn.
“Young Princess, how did you know we were here?” Leng Feng couldn’t help but ask but he saw how kind she was to them.
“We have been investigating for many years, but in actual fact, someone told me about your whereabouts.” Sima You Yue answered as she examined his pulse.
Leng Feng didn’t know that it was Lan He’s scheming plan, hence, he didn’t ask any further questions. Instead, he said with deep emotion: “Thank you Young Princess, for saving us. It’s just a pity that we haven’t found out the whereabouts of the Princess.”
“You don’t have to worry about Mother’s whereabouts at the moment. I know where she is. The only thing you need to do right now is to take good care of your body. Your bodies have suffered a lot over the past hundred years and it has affected your cultivation. If you don’t recuperate properly, I’m afraid you won’t be able to advance in the future. Leng Yun and the others are in the palace waiting for you to go back.”
“Are they alright in the palace?”
“Better than you. You can talk more when you reunite. I am going to prepare some medicine for all of you now. If there is anything else, just ask Fu Xi.”
Wu Lingyu and her went to prepare the medicines for them to nurse their bodies. Fu Xi was left behind to answer questions and ask about their situation. By the time she had returned, both parties already understood the situation clearly.
Leng Feng and the others’ situation was very simple. When they found out that Yu Ke Luo was in the Abyss of Hell, they came here and were captured by Xi Er Mo’s people.
When they learned how much effort Sima You Yue had spent trying to find them, they were moved. Upon learning about what Lan He and the Ghost Concubine had done to her, because of their current relationship, they vowed that they would recover well so that they would be able to help her in the future.
When Di Jiu Jiu heard the news and rushed over, he still couldn’t quite believe what he saw. He pulled Sima You Yue to one side and asked in a low voice: “Young Princess, are they really Leng Feng and the others?”
Sima You Yue laughed at his reaction: “Shouldn’t you know what they look like?”
“But it could also be a disguise or something like that? What if someone was pretending to be them?” Di Jiu Jiu said worriedly.
“These people are them, you can rest assured.” Sima You Yue said.
“Really?”
Leng Feng and Leng Yun have a secret code between them. I have verified the code.” Sima You Yue gave him a reassuring look.
Upon hearing her words, Di Jiu Jiu was relieved. However, he became worried again in the next moment: “Young Princess, they handed over the people to you so easily? Could there be some conspiracy?”
When he saw Sima You Yue’s helpless eyes, he felt helpless as well. It wasn’t that he wanted to worry about these things, it was just that the whole matter felt too bizarre.
Why would Xi Er Mo just hand over the people? If it were so easy, they wouldn’t have needed to do so many things. He didn’t care what he thought, he felt that this was not a peaceful matter, that’s why his thought went in this direction.
“I find that you overthink matters more than Di Liu.” Sima You Yue rolled her eyes, “Xiao Ling helped me with this matter. Do you know what his relationship with Xi Er Mo is? He treats his Master very well, he dealt with the matter with just one word from me.”
It was true that Sima You Yue felt that Xi Er Mo was only willing to let her people go because she was Xiao Ling’s Master. As for their relationship, it was better to keep it a secret for now.
Finally, Di Jiu Jiu’s worries were completely relieved, as long as there was no danger.
“Leng Feng and the other’s health is not good. I need to help them nurse them back to health. I also have to teach Xiao Ling how to cook, so I have to stay here for a few days. Are you going back now or are you going to wait for us and return together?”
“We want to protect Young Princess and go back together.” Di Jiu Jiu said firmly. Although their Master didn’t say anything, this was probably the expectation.
“Alright, you can help me check some things while you are here.” Sima You Yue agreed with them and gave them orders unceremoniously.
Di Jiu Jiu was full of vigour: “Please give us your order, Young Princess.”
“The fact that Lan He was able to lure you here, it means that he has someone working for him. Get more people to investigate so we can return the favour!” Sima You Yue smiled after she had spoken.
When Fu Xi saw her smile, he knew that someone was going to be unlucky. The last time she had revealed such a smile was when she dealt with Mo Wei.
It was the same smile and the same words. The last time Mo Wei owed her Master a favour, and yet, he was still forced to leave the Hidden Sect. This time, Lan He was her enemy, so this gift that she was returning to him would be something to look forward to.
“What Young Princess said is true, there are indeed some of Lan He’s people here. Before, because we had been searching for ways to rescue Leng Feng and the others, so we didn’t pay much attention to those people. Now that they have been rescued, we have the time and energy to deal with them.” Di Jiu Jiu followed Di Zhe the master of killing, so naturally, he wasn’t a person of good character, it was a personality trait shared by almost all of the Di Family Army.
If Sima You Yue hadn’t become Xiao Ling’s Master, if it weren’t for the fact that he had a good relationship with Xi Er Mo, they would definitely have had to pay a high price if they wanted to rescue Leng Feng and the others.
Therefore, he was overjoyed that Sima You Yue ordered them to deal with those people.
“Being able to arrange such matters in a place like this, their people are not ordinary people. Tell everyone to pay close attention to their safety and be careful.” Sima You Yue instructed.
“Yes, subordinate will leave now.”
“Go.”
Di Jiu Jiu left, Sima You Yue saw Fu Xi’s sly smile and poured a basin of cold water over him: “You can only stand there idly, these matters have nothing to do with you.”
He was not from this continent, he was also under the Mythical Dragon Order, therefore, he had to keep a low profile no matter where he was. As for these matters, he could only watch and wasn’t able to participate.
“Even if I can’t fight, I can still watch the fun. That’s not bad.” Fu Xi said. He saw Sima You Yue walking out alone and said: “Where are you going?”
“Going to look for Xi Er Mo.”
“You’re going alone? Where is Brother Lingyu?”
“He is refining pills for them. You have to stay here to protect them. I’m going over to Xi Er Mo’s place, I have something to ask him..”
