Chapter 2154: The Human Realm
As everyone else’s feelings towards the matter was unanimous, Sima You Yue’s protests were futile, and the decision was made.
The people of the Sima Clan were extremely excited when they heard that they were going to hold a birthday banquet for Sima You Yue. Over the next few days, this was all the clansmen could talk about.
Not only was she being treated like a sick patient being unable to do anything and having to rest, several doctors were also called to examine her.
Sima You Yue was speechless, she was a doctor herself, why did she need someone else to examine her?
“Doctors don’t heal themselves. Also, how will we know if you are hiding something from us otherwise?”
One sentence deterred all her excuses.
How could she explain to them that the white light had been nourishing her body and soul very well all this time? She didn’t feel anything other than well.
They wouldn’t believe her even if she had told them, but she didn’t want them to worry either. Therefore, she felt like a crippled who was bored stiff in her own courtyard.
She moved her rocking chair to her small garden. There were fruits and snacks on the table. She had just sent away Sima Yi Yun and the others and she was rocking in her rocking chair, bored and basking in the sun.
An Lei was tidying up next to her.
The sun was warm on her body and made her feel very comfortable.
“An Lei, let me tell you, the sun in the Human Realm is the most comfortable!” Sima You Yue said with emotion.
“Young Miss always says that the Ghost Realm is overcast and dusky, but it’s a pity that I’ve not seen it.” An Lei said, “But I also agree that the Human Realm is the most comfortable Realm.”
An Lei had been in the Spirit Pagoda this whole time, hence, over this long period of time, she had learnt many things.
“You’ve been aggrieved.” Sima You Yue said guiltily.
“Why would there be any grievances following Young Miss? It’s just that I haven’t been able to help at all.” An Lei felt that ever since she had met Sima You Yue and been able to escape the Eastern Lai Clan, it must have truly been a blessing from her previous life.
“Ah…” Sima You Yue remembered something. She took out the little door of the Little Black Lotus Realm and infused spiritual energy into it. It then opened and she entered.
As soon as she had entered, everyone inside felt it and they all looked towards her.
“Aunt Xiang!” Sima You Yue had come to the place where the Feng Clan had resided and said apologetically: “I’m sorry for keeping you all in here for so long.”
Fortunately, time passed the same as it did outside and only a hundred years had passed. If it was the same as the Spirit Pagoda, it would have been awful.
“Young Miss!” Feng Xiang and the others were excited when they saw Sima You Yue. “Young Miss, did something happen to you?”
“Well… it’s a long story. But it’s all over.” Sima You Yue said, “Come out with me, the people of the Feng Clan must be worried they haven’t been able to contact you.”
“Alright.”
It had been a hundred years, now that they were able to leave, they should contact their clan.
Sima You Yue brought the people of the Feng Clan out, knowing the strength of the Sima Family Clan now, they were able to return.
Sima You Yue sent the Feng Clan on their way, then she returned to her rocking chair bored.
“An Lei, why don’t we sneak out?” She asked.
“Young Miss, I advise you not to. With the current mentality of the clansmen, if they found out that you’re missing, they would go crazy!” An Lei shook her head as she thought of how precious she was to the clansmen right now.
Maybe it was because she had contributed a lot to the Sima Family, and that she had been asleep for so long, everyone thought that her awakening was very mysterious. It was as if she would disappear again in a blink of an eye, hence, everyone was very nervous.
Sima You Yue thought about how nervous they all were and sighed helplessly.
Forget it, she would stay home obediently.
“An Lei, do you believe that your Young Miss is in good health?” SIma You Yue asked.
“Young Miss, it doesn’t matter what I believe, the clansmen don’t believe it!” An Lei smiled at Sima You Yue. She knew that Sima You Yue wanted to go out, “Young Miss, I know you want to go and see your friends, but they will all be arriving very soon.”
She wasn’t someone who sat still usually, and now, all she wanted to do was to see her friends.
“Besides, Young Miss, the people outside have been very excited once they found out that you are awake. If you go out now, you will be watched by everyone like a monkey.” An Lei continued.
“Well, I hope someone is closer and can come to see me sooner.” She had seen through Sima You Yue’s thoughts, but she wasn’t ashamed.
“You are an ugly woman, you’re finally willing to wake up!” A familiar voice drifted in from outside the courtyard. The next moment, Si Yue’s fiery red figure floated in from outside and slammed into Sima You Yue at once.
“You are in such a hurry to hug me, I can’t bear it!” Sima You Yue called.
“You wretch, I thought you were never going to wake up!” Si Yue got off her, but instead of moving away, she grabbed her neck with both hands and shook it vigorously.
“Are you trying to fulfill your wish of killing me with your own hands?” Sima You Yue called out with her tongue sticking out.
“Enough Si Yue.” Third Mo’s voice called out from behind and he stretched out to pull Si Yue up.
Only then did Si Yue let go. She poked her forehead and said: “Hmph! I’ll let you off!”
Sima You Yue was a little excited and also a little surprised when she saw Third Mo.
She hadn’t expected the first people she would have seen when she returned would be the two of them. What was more surprising was the gestures between the two of them…
“You’re together!” she said with certainty.
“You’ve slept for a hundred years, has your brain been damaged?” Si Yue took the chair that An Lei had brought out for her and sat down beside Sima You Yue and placed her legs on the rocking chair.
“My eyes are clear, you can’t escape my eyes!” Sima You Yue said, “But it’s not bad either. I thought that no one would be able to move Third Mo this rock.”
She looked at Third Mo teasingly and saw that Third Mo was a little uncomfortable for the first time.
“You were right at the time, it was a really hard process. Fortunately my willpower was strong enough and I finally managed to warm the stone’s heart.” Si Yue said, “I’ll tell you more later when I’m free.”
“Alright!” If they had talked about it now, Third Mo would most definitely have left in a huff! “How did the two of you get here so quickly?”
“We happened to be nearby. We came as soon as we heard the news. You said you have something to tell me. What is it? Did you want to tell me you miss me?” Si Yu said narcissistically.
“You wish!” Sima You Yue said, “I asked you to come because I want to ask you about Mu Si.”
“Mu Si? He’s your disciple, why are you asking me?”
“Mu Si has been abducted.” Sima You Yue said, “Ancestor and I have analyzed the matter and we think it might be to do with his identity. So I want to ask you if you know anything about his origins.”
“I don’t know.” Si Yue shook her head, “Mu Si was brought back from the outside by his father but he never said where he had brought him back from. His father was quite withdrawn and didn’t talk to outsiders much.. It will probably be a little difficult if you want to investigate.”
