The Nalan elders all looked towards Sima You Yue’s direction. Did the Sima clan reach this level because of him?
No matter whether or not these divine beasts were indeed tamed by this person, he cannot remain.
The Nalan elder said gravely.
That’s right, just like Lan said, his talent is too heaven-defying. If he remains, who knows what heights the Sima clan will reach. We need to stop that from happening.
An elder said.
However, he has a sacred beast by his side. I’m afraid that he won’t be easy to get rid of.
Fourth Elder said.
Is that his contracted beast?
The clan leader asked.
No, he did not form a contract with him. I heard that the beast merely said that he would protect him.
Fourth Elder replied.
Does that sacred beast never leave?
Someone asked.
He rarely leaves under usual circumstances.
Fourth Elder said,
Actually, this is the best time to act because that sacred beast has been gone ever since they were at the Dragon Reflection mountain. He hasn’t entered Saint City.
But we cannot kill within Saint City.
‘It’s not like we have no way.
The highest ranked elder of the Nalan clan, who usually kept silent, said.
First Elder?
Everyone in the Nalan clan looked at him.
Dragon Reflection mountain’s captive beast.
First elder only said five words, but they held boundless killing intent.
The Nalan Clan leader’s eyes shone as he said,
That’s right. There are times where we do not have to do this firsthand. Lan, isn’t that Li Mu interested in you? Just leave this to him.
Nalan Lan naturally knew what the clan leader meant, saying,
Lan understands.
Because Li Mu’s talent surpassed others, he was specially permitted to enter Saint City even though he was not yet twenty years old. He was more familiar with the situation in Saint City. Adding that on to the hatred that he had with Sima You Yue, wanting to entice him to harm Sima You Yue was something that could be done in a heartbeat!
There was a total of 40 matches, and 30 were done on the first day. There were only ten matches remaining, which were left to the second day.
The Li clansmen had lost many matches this day, especially those who had competed against the Sima clansmen. Each and every one of them were filled with rage from being beaten into resembling pig heads.
The Sima Clan had happily targeted their faces!
Very late at night, Li Mu received news to head to the alchemist guild. Although he was quite suspicious, he still left the Li house and rushed to the alchemist guild.
Sob sob sob…
Suddenly, he heard sobbing sounds and made Li Mu stop in his tracks.
This is… Lan’s voice!
Miss, you must be really upset.
Nalan Lan’s servant girl’s voice carried out from the courtyard.
How could I not be upset. He almost completely violated me. If others ever found out, I could only repay my parents by killing myself!
Nalan Lan sobbed.
Li Mu, who was standing outside the courtyard, was immediately anxious. He no longer cared that it was Nalan Lan’s outer courtyard and immediately flew in. As expected, he was greeted with a Nalan Lan sobbing inside a pavilion in the courtyard.
Lan.
He looked at Nalan Lan’s tear stained face and his heart immediately ached.
Nalan Lan cried out with shock when she suddenly heard the male voice.
Ah-
The servant girl immediately came in front of Nalan Lan and scolded,
Daring hooligan, you dare assault the Nalan house at night!
Lan, don’t be afraid. It’s me.
Li Mu hurriedly walked over and let her take a good look at who he was.
Big Brother Li?
Nalan Lan looked at Li Mu hesitantly,
What are you doing here?
Li Mu saw the tears running down Nalan Lan’s face and walked over unbridled. He stretched forth a hand and wiped her tears away, and said with heartache,
Lan, why are you crying like this? Who hurt you?
The one he liked before was actually Jade, but he knew at the Dragon Reflection Mountain that Jade would never like him back. After meeting Nalan Lan, he realised that what he had before was not affection, but a kind of desire to possess. It was only after meeting Nalan Lan that he could not help but fall deeply.
Nalan Lan was already a beauty, and adding on to that her agitated state, she was exuding noble and perfect aura. She easily made Li Mu lose all sense of reason. It was like someone who had an umbrella on a rainy day. Her eyes were filled with grief and Li Mu was immediately sucked in. It took all of his will to stop himself from holding her in his arms and comforting her.
When Nalan Lan was questioned, her tears fell once again. She turned her head away and said,
It’s better for you not to ask.
How could I not. You’re crying in such a state. No matter who it is, I will not let him off. Lan, tell me. I’ll take revenge for you.
Li Mu declared with righteous indignation.
I… I can’t.
Nalan Lan said,
Big Brother Li, I know that you are good to Lan. But do not ask anymore, or else I can only kill myself in shame.
Li Mu felt that something was off with her words and saw that she was covering something. There was a faintly discernible red mark on her neck and he immediately pulled down the cloth, revealing a hickey.
This is?
His eyes widened in surprise as he looked at that hickey. Once again, his face turned into a mask of hurt and said with disbelief,
You… you’ve been violated?
Nalan Lan remained silent and only cried.
It was the servant girl who said from the side,
Lord Li, it’s not what you think. My young Miss is still pure. But, but… if it wasn’t for this servant who had arrived early, I’m afraid that my Miss would… would have been completely taken by that scum!
When Li Mu heard this, he released a breath. Unadulterated arge filled him as he used both hands to grab on to Nalan Lan’s shoulder as he said,
Who is it? Who dared to do this to you?
Don’t ask anymore. Big Brother Li, although you treat me well, it’s better for you not to know. Otherwise, if that person leaks this information, I will no longer have any dignity left to face others!
Nalan Lan pleaded with sobs.
No matter who is it, I will make it so he will be unable to say a thing!
Li Mu said,
Lan, you just have to tell me who it is. I will take revenge for you. I will cut his body into a thousand pieces!
What do you mean cut him into a thousand pieces. Don’t speak this way. Although Saint City doesn’t allow one to kill, it would be bad if anyone heard you.
Nalan Lan appeared as if she really was thinking for his sake.
I know.
Li Mu said,
However, I know a place where one will never be able to leave once he enters. I do not need to act and he will be taken care of naturally!
As he spoke, Li Mu appeared as if he remembered something and his expression turned dazed.
Nalan Lan and the servant girl exchanged glances. It looked like he truly knew something!
There’s actually a place like this?
Nalan Lan’s look of suspicion looked extremely sincere.
Mm.
Li Mu nodded as he said,
You should know of the rule that disallows anyone below the age of twenty from entering Saint City, right?
I do.
Nalan Lan nodded,
I even asked others before. However, I never got an answer.
That’s because you’ll be easily bewitched if you come here before you’re twenty years old, and end up in a place you’re not supposed to.
Li Mu said,
Those who are born here are immune to the aura, so nothing will happen to them. However, once outsiders come here, they will easily run into trouble and go to places they’re not supposed to.
This time, Nalan Lan was truly surprised. Saint City actually held this kind of secret?
