Everyone in the Sima Family looked at the people who were coming towards them on a spirit beast, their eyes wide open in shock. Following that, everyone started to cheer.
You Yue, You Lin, you guys are alive!
This is awesome!
I told you they wouldn’t die!
Sima You Le and the rest ran over, and Sima You Yue came down from Ya Guang’s back. Looking at her four brothers’ tired yet excited faces, she smiled and proclaimed,
My brothers, I am home!
Sima You Ming patted her shoulders, and spoke with a raspy voice,
It’s great that you’re back!
Sima You Qi and the others surrounded them, and seeing that the both of them had come back unharmed, excited smiles rose up on their faces.
We’re sorry to have worried everyone.
Sima You Yue looked at everyone and said.
We’re just glad that you’re back.
Sima You Yang came up to pat both their shoulders, and said.
Since you’re back, let’s go in first!
Yes.
Sima You Yue looked at the mass of people gathered around her, and followed everyone in.
There are things to settle in my own household, and all the masters and elders of the house have gone back, only my father and the others in their generation, and us youngsters have stayed back to continue looking for you.
Sima You Yang explained as they walked.
But Grandpa Lin and Grandpa Lie have stayed as well.
They did not have to walk far to meet Sima Lin, who upon seeing them both, simply said softly,
It’s good that you’re back.
Sima You Yue and Sima You Lin walked over to pay their respects to Sima Lin, saying,
Grandfather, we have both returned.
Grandpa Lin.
Let’s go to the hall before we speak.
Sima Lin said.
At this time, Sima Lie’s voice could be heard, calling out,
You Yue is back?
Following that, he ran over to the yard at the speed of light, and as he looked at Sima You Yue, cried out loudly,
Where have you gone of to play, you punk?
I was not playing.
Sima You Yue huffed.
Were you not?
Sima Lie slapped her on the back, saying,
You have that mother stone, why have you never contacted us in spite of that?
Although everyone knew that she had numerous things and ways to keep herself alive, the moment she remained uncontactable despite the mother stone, everyone was worried to death.
I just couldn’t be bothered.
Sima You Yue said.
Lie, please stay calm for now. We need to hear what these two have been through.
Sima Lin said.
That’s right, Grandfather. If you’re like this then Fifth Brother will not have the opportunity to tell us what happened.
Sima You Ran said.
Fifth Brother probably ran into an incident he could not pull himself out of, that’s why he did not contact us.
Sima You Yue nodded her head violently. Her Third Brother really did understand her!
Let’s go.
Sima Lie was so overwhelmed with worry that he couldn’t not help but unleash it all on Sima You Yue when she returned.
All the important parties assembled in the Hall and the others quickly went back to attending to their duties. Sima Lie and Sima Lin were the only two elders who remained, and so they sat at the key seats. Next, the seats were occupied by Sima You Ming and the four brothers, along with Sima You Yang, and Sima You Yue and Sima You Lin were left as the witnesses.
Third Brother, why did you wish to go to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain to look for us?
Sima You Yue asked as she entered the Hall.
Because the Alchemy Guild Masters said that you had just bumbled into their gathering, and entered their delivery cart and was so sent to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.
Sima You Ran said.
So where have you guys been in these past number of days?
Sima You Yue laughed coldly, saying,
We were indeed sent there, but it was not to the Ten Thousand Beast outskirts, but to the depths of Dragon Reflection Mountain.
The depths of Dragon Reflection Mountain? Isn’t that…
Sima You Yang cried incredulously.
That’s right, we were sent to meet that suppressed beast.
Sima You Yue said.
Where Halcyon was hurt?
Sima Lie’s heart seized. Even Halcyon was close to death when he came back, the fact that they were sent there and were able to come back was a big deal! No wonder she was out of contact for such a long time. That place was so dangerous and treacherous that one could easily lose their lives if they were not attentive!
What in the world went on? You guys better explain it to us thoroughly.
Sima Lie said.
Alright.
Sima You Yue proceeded to explain how Li Mu had used Jade’s maidservant to lure her to a trap, and how they were sent to the depths of Dragon Reflection Mountain. She also made sure not to leave out how Nalan Lan was involved as well.
I know it’s not possible for me to fight those two households on my own, but I will not let off those who were directly involved, like Li Mu and the Guild Masters of the Li family, as well as Nalan Lan. Even Jade and that maidservant must die!
Sima You Yue said at the end of her explanation.
Listening to their experiences, all the Sima family members were boiling in anger, but after hearing what she said at the end, everyone’s expressions had twisted to a strange look.
What? Please don’t say that I must not touch these few people.
Sima You Yue said as she looked at all their expressions, slightly misreading their expressions.
Of course not.
Sima Lin said.
Since they thought to lay hands on a Sima family member, then they must get ready to face the consequences. It’s just that…
What?
Sima You Yue asked?
Jade’s maidservant had killed herself with poison on the night you both disappeared, and Nalan Lan followed the Sage Pavilion members to the Primordial Lands.
Sima You Ran said.
The Primordial Lands? Why was she going there with the Sage Pavilion members??
This time a different person came down from the Sage Pavilion, and I heard that he thought highly of her skills and her physique, and he wants to bring her to the pavilion to become a Holy Daughter. He even said that although her current skills are still lacking, if she were to go up, she will be able to breakthrough to even the God level of skills. And so two days after this news was announced, she was taken away.
Sima You Ran explained.
So, Nalan Lan is no longer in the Yilin Country?
Sima You Yue said. She had four opponents to avenge herself for, but one had killed herself, and another had left the country. No wonder they had such strange expressions on their faces.
So Nalan Lan can become a Holy Daughter in the Sage Pavilion. When I have the chance, I must ask my Senior Brothers how they choose their Holy Daughters!
Sima You Yue said, dissatisfied.
Her lotus physique has been what the Sage Pavilion has been looking for.
Wu Lingyu’s voice suddenly rang out, scaring everyone in the house. He then appeared from within the house and walked out, bringing along with him the scent of the sea.
You’re back?
Sima You Yue stared at Wu Lingyu, saying,
So tell me, are you the one who chose Nalan Lan to become a Holy Daughter?
Pavilion Chief Mu just happened to come with me and chanced upon Nalan Lan, and took her in. But I’ve got nothing to do with this.
Wu Lingyu floated over to sit next to Sima You Yue.
Why would a Pavilion Chief come to a place like this?
Sima You Yue said.
You must have told them about Nalan Lan’s Lotus Physique.
Although Wu Lingyu wasn’t sure what had happened, but seeing that he was about to become the subject of Sima You Yue’s anger, he said indignantly,
I’ve never even seen her before, how would I know about her spirit physique? Pavilion Chief Mu had come down to settle an issue, and I was at the Ocean Boundary without the time to deal with that at all, and so he came down with me. Besides, what has Nalan Lan done to offend you?
