Chapter 969 - Getting the cold shoulder
“What?! Those two guys tried to get you?! And force you? Why didn’t you call me! I’ll beat them and make sure their parents don’t recognise them, let’s see how they are going to force you!”
Little Seven’s voice came out from the courtyard, her little face was filled with anger.
“Don’t get agitated!” Sima You Yue pulled her when she stood up from the chair, somehow regretting telling her.
After she came back, Little Seven asked her why she was gone for so long, then she told them the thing about Big Wei and Little Wei asking her to go with them. She didn’t expect Little Seven to blow up after hearing it.
“Usually these two guys always have a crafty-looking appearance, they are really good for nothing!” Little Seven exclaimed, “Yue Yue, next time wherever you go, I’ll go. If I was there today, see if those two guys would still have dared to put their hands on you!”
“Alright alright, next time I’ll bring you, don’t get so agitated now, eat a spirit fruit and calm down.” Sima You Yue squeezed a spirit fruit beside her mouth and successfully stopped her.
“I think Principal Fan and the rest were right, you better not travel alone next time.” Su Xiao Xiao wrinkled her eyebrows and said, “Although little people in the world know about Hundred Changing Doors, but everyone knows the fact that they are strong! If they set their mind on you, I’m afraid they won’t give up on you.”
“I know that too.” Sima You Yue said helplessly, “But that book was gifted to me by my Senior Brother, he was trapped and almost lost his life in order to find this book for me. How can I give it away just because I’m in danger?”
“Then what about joining them?” Han Miao Shuang suggested, “You also said that they asked you to go back with them.”
“Yes, go back, once I go back, I might not be able to come out anymore.” Sima You Yue continued, “Hundred Changing Doors are known to be rare. One of the reasons is because their members don’t know how to walk around in the continent. But I have my own things to do, it’s impossible to go back with them.”
“True.” Han Miao Shuang agreed, “Then you can only do what is necessary. Speaking of which, how is the progress of building your forces? I didn’t hear you talk about it. We already agreed on joining.”
“It’s built up. Everything is on the right track.” Sima You Yue answered.
“I’ll tell you something, we did something big!” Little Seven said proudly.
Sima You Yue pursed her lips, what did she mean by doing something big? It wasn’t like they murdered or robbed anyone!
“What did you guys do and didn’t bring us along?” Han Miao Shuang stared at them.
“You know what’s the latest buzz?” Little Seven asked them mysteriously.
“The latest buzz?” Han Miao Shuang narrowed her eyes and gave it a thought, then both hands grabbed Little Seven’s shoulders and said, “Damn, did you guys cause that situation in Blood Fiend City?!”
After hearing what she said, Su Xiao Xiao also looked over astonishedly.
“Don’t be so excited. That’s not entirely because of us!” Little Seven exclaimed as she was scared by Han Miao Shuang’s facial expression.
“Not entirely because of you guys, meaning, you guys really did it?” Han Miao Shuang said excitedly.
“Yeah, when we went to recruit people.” Little Seven explained.
“Tell us, what did you guys do?”
Little Seven then told them about what happened in Blood Fiend City, Su Xiao Xiao and Han Miao Shuang stared blankly while listening.
“Damn, I told you, it’d be fun if we followed you, you guys actually didn’t bring us to such a big event!” Han Miao Shuang voiced out.
“Hehe, you guys also get to know it now.” Little Seven patted her shoulders and said, “Don’t sulk, next time if there’s anything, we will bring you guys along.”
“But we didn’t get to experience the last one!” Han Miao Shuang said gloomly.
“The past is the past, there’s no use thinking about it. It’s better to look forward to the future!” Little Seven patted her shoulders and said with sincere and earnesty.
“….” Han Miao Shuang was speechless, this brat deserved a beating.
1“If you want to experience, you will be more interested in what’s going to come.” Sima You Yue smiled and told her when she saw how helpless she felt.
“What’s going to come? What is it?”
“Did Instructor Mao tell you anything?” Su Xiao Xiao sensed something sharply.
“Yes.” Sima You Yue continued, “Look at this.”
He took out Dragon Beard Grass and passed to Su Xiao Xiao.
“How did Dragon Beard Grass become like this? And it stinks!” Han Miao Shuang covered her nose and waved her hands, her face filled with disdain looking at the Dragon Beard Grass in the box.
“This was passed to me by Instructor Mao previously.” Sima You Yue explained, “Can you guys tell? What is happening here?”
Han Miao Shuang and Su Xiao Xiao took a good look, shook their heads and said, “Never seen it before, need to research it. What did this come from?”
“Instructor Mao said this is a medicinal material near Cloud Sea City.” Sima You Yue continued, “It’s not only a medicinal material, it affects spirit beasts too.”
“Cloud Sea City? Is it to clash an alchemy contest?” Su Xiao Xiao guessed.
“I don’t know, I heard that the Alchemist Guild and the people from Pill Subdivision feel quite helpless. And gather every big force to discuss how to deal with the situation. It’s because of this, they want us to go in advance.”
“If it’s really discovered nearby Cloud Sea City, then it’s possible that it’s to clash with the alchemy contest.” Han Miao Shuang said.
“Little Junior Brother, did you discover anything?” Su Xiao Xiao asked.
Sima You Yue shrugged her shoulders and said, “I can’t. People from devil’s realm and ghost realm can make this happen, even poisons.”
Su Xiao Xiao pinched the leaf off the stem, realising that it was black inside too, and said, “Looks like it’s not only the exterior, even the interior is black too. This means that it has been infected.”
“Then we will study about what this is.” Han Miao Shuang continued, ” Little Junior Brother, you want to join us?”
“I’ll give it a miss. I need to leave early tomorrow, I still have some things to settle.” Sima You Yue excused herself.
“Alright, Xiao Xiao, let’s go and research about it.” Han Miao Shuang told Su Xiao Xiao while going to the pill refining room.
“Yue Yue, where are we going?” Little Seven asked.
“Spirit pagoda…..”
Little Spirit saw the thing Sima You Yue was holding and became stunned, after a while it found its voice, “Master, is that really…. Divine Scar?”
“Yes.” Sima You Yue answered, “Senior Brother gifted it to me previously, I was busy and forgot about it. Now, let us sow this seed.”
Speaking of it, she wanted to break that red gem.
“No!” Little Spirit screamed.
“What do you mean, no?” Sima You Yue looked at him curiously.
“Don’t move, hand this to me, don’t touch it.” Little Spirit screamed, ran over and snatched away the gem, looked at Sima You Yue with vigilance, worried that she would snatch it away.
“Eh….. what are you doing, such a big reaction.” Sima You Yue looked at him wondering.
Little spirit carefully protected the seed of Divine Scar and waved at her and said, “Hand this to me, you’re so rough, you will spoil it. You don’t have to worry about it next time.”
