Sima You Yue stood outside the door. The little golden snake often liked to pop in and out to play, so she could only call it out, take it in her hands and play with it.
The little golden snake twined itself around Sima You Yue’s finger, and its tongue would occasionally lick her other finger.

You Yue, will there be any use knocking on the door?
Bei Gong Tang asked when she saw Sima You Yue just standing there playing with Little Golden Snake.

We’ll know in a bit, whether or not it has any use.
Sima You Yue prodded Little Golden Snake’s head with a fingertip.

Creak-



The main door opened and You Si saw a beautiful lady standing there, with a charming kid playing with a snake.
No matter how they looked at it, these two didn’t seem like they were here to kill them.

Who are you guys? Who are you looking for?
You Si still looked at them suspiciously.

We’re looking for your third brother.
Bei Gong Tang said with a smile.

Looking for Third Bro? What for?
You Si asked again.

To discuss some things.
Bei Gong Tang didn’t clarify what she meant.

Our third bro isn’t feeling well. He’s not receiving guests.
You Si wanted to close the door on them once he finished speaking.

Fourth Bro, let them in. Cough cough-
Shi Chen coughed a few times before ordering.
You Si didn’t understand, but he still opened the door for them.

Please come in.



Sima You Yue played with Little Golden Snake again before taking a few big steps into the residence. Once she entered the courtyard, she found a pale sickly male leaning on the door frame. He was watching them calmly.
A real gentleman! It seemed that the news was not only false, but also extremely off.

The scarlet bees were yours.
Shi Chen looked at Sima You Yue, and these were his first words to her.
Sima You Yue didn’t deny it. The male’s eyes were sharp. It wasn’t strange that he would’ve guessed the bees belonged to her.

You’re our guests now, please come and drink some tea in the hall. Cough cough-


Forget about the tea, I’m guessing that you’re not that free as to waste time drinking tea with us.
Sima You Yue said lightly.

What have you come here for?
Ni An Yi stood by the side watching Sima You Yue, as if he was going to act if they didn’t speak soon.

We came to talk.
Sima You Yue was not frightened by the aura that Ni An Yi was radiating as she stood them smiling carefreely at Shi Chen.

What about?


Your days are numbered, aren’t they?
Sima You Yue asked with a smile.



Impudent!
A clear shout sounded from behind them, followed by the flash of a silhouette.

No, Little Golden Snake, don’t!
Sima You Yue immediately grabbed onto Little Golden Snake, who was in her hand, and simultaneously dodged to the left, easily dodging the attack.

Sss sss-
Little Golden Snake poked his head out of her hand and his eyes flashed with displeasure.
He clearly felt their murderous intent just now. Why did she stop him? Angry, angry!
Sima You Yue took out a pill and fed it to Little Golden Snake while petting his head. It was only then that the displeasure faded from his eyes.

Who are you guys? You dare come here to cause trouble? Do you treat us, the ten brothers, as jokes?
That sharp looking guy was held back by Ni An Yi without managing to land a single attack.
Of course, Ni An Yi only did this as per Shi Chen’s request.

Third Bro.
Another male walked in as well and his gaze was wary and alert as he looked at Sima You Yue and Bei Gong Tang.

You guys, calm down.
Shi Chen raised his hands, stopping the brothers from acting out.

Third Bro, who are they that they dare make trouble here and say that your days are numbered?
A male dressed in a red robe glared daggers at Sima You Yue.



We don’t know who they are either.
Shi Chen said,
Why don’t you tell us who you are?


Why are you guys so worried? You’re all more powerful than me, I doubt I’d be able to land a hit on you.
Sima You Yue said.

It goes without saying that you must be extremely brave since you dared to come in here.


It goes without saying that you, guy in the red robe, are very striking.
Sima You Yue said calmly,
Alright, there’s no problem telling you who we are. We are students from the Imperial Academy.


Students?
Ni An Yi looked at the two of them suspiciously,
But you know who we are?


Of course we do. You’re the ten great evils.
Sima You Yue said,
Our academy has even put out a mission for us to kill you, and we accepted it.


Pfft-
A male clad in blue burst out laughing,
You accepted the mission, but you still dared to waltz in here?


Didn’t I already say so earlier? We came to discuss something.
Sima You Yue said.

Was that ‘something’ about saying that our third brother doesn’t have long to live?
The red clad male scoffed.

I’m a doctor, as well as an alchemist.
Sima You Yue said.



So you’ve come to diagnose our third brother?
You Si asked.

That’s right.
Sima You Yue nodded,
however, seeing how he’s like a walking corpse, it remains unknown whether or not he can be saved.


Why should we trust you?
The red clothed male didn’t believe her.

You can only try.
Sima You Yue siad,
I’m guessing that you’re out of options. It could be that the other doctors are incapable or unwilling to help because of your notoriety. I suppose you cannot find anyone to save him. That’s the only reason why you would come here.


You know why we’re here?


Of course. Wasn’t it because you heard rumors of the auspicious beast?
Sima You Yue said,
It’s a pity but your final wager totally doesn’t exist.


What do you mean?


Exactly what I said.
Sima You Yue said,
You want to use the blood of the auspicious beast to save him, which is why you have ignored all the dangers to throw it all in. You have to know that there are many who want to kill you. However, does the beast truly exist?


Of course it exists. There has been someone who has personally felt its aura.
Ni An Yi said.

The change in the Dark Forest has only appeared in the recent two years. If there really was an auspicious beast, where would it have come from? Let’s take a step back too, if that beast really existed, how many people in Green city would have seen it? How many powers would have coveted it? Based on how powerful the ten of you are, would you be able to snatch it?
Sima You Yue said,
Sick Person, you’re a smart one. Do you really think that the beast exists?

Shi Chen smiled bitterly,
No.


It seems that you’re still a lucid person.
Sima You Yue looked at him approvingly,
This is why, now that a doctor has willingly come to take a look at you, do you not plan to take ahold of that opportunity?


Since it’s an opportunity, we’ll naturally grab hold of it.
Shi Chen answered,
But if, for this opportunity, we have to pay a price that we don’t want to, then we will have to think long and hard about it.


Mm. Of course. If I want to discuss things with you, I’ll have to first take a look at you to see if it’s possible. If I can’t do it either, then there’s no need to discuss anything at all.
Sima You Yue glanced at Shi Chen,
Are you willing to let me take a look at you?
