Chapter 968 - Forcing her
“You do not have to be so nervous.” Big Wei said, “We’re not bad guys.”
Sima You Yue glanced at Little Wei, saying, “That’s hard to say. There’s no clear marker that differentiates the two.”
Big Wei sighed, saying, “Do you know what kind of book the Array Foundations is?”
“After hearing the name, is there even a need to guess? It’s about arrays.” Sima You Yue shrugged.
“Do you know its origins?” Big Wei asked.
“No.” She wouldn’t say it even if she knew.
“Do you know about the Hundred Changing Doors?”
“I’ve heard of it.”
“Its history?” Big Wei asked again.
“A little.” Sima You Yue said, “It’s said to be a huge power of the outer realms in the past. Later on, it moved to the middle realm, then shortly after, into the inner realms.”
“That’s all?”
“That’s all.”
“My sect has always been low-key, so there are very few people who actually know about it.” Big Wei said.
“You’re from the Hundred Changing Doors!” Sima You Yue’s eyes narrowed. It was no wonder their identities were such a secret.
“Indeed.” Big Wei admitted, “Hundred Changing Doors was the originator of arrays. Also, Array Foundations was a text left behind by our founding father. Inside it contains the method to many arrays that have long since disappeared.”
Sima You Yue believed his tale, because Feng Zhi Xing had told her about something similar before.
“But it has nothing to do with me.” Sima You Yue said with a shrug.
“No, you’re wrong.” Big Wei shook his head, if “Array Foundations” is with you, then it has something to do with you.”
“Why?”
“You’ve obtained our forefather’s inheritance, so you are one of us. Unless you are willing to hand the book over to us.” Little Wei said directly.
Thinking about how Wu Lingyu had been held captive for a year for the sake of obtaining that book, she couldn’t just give that book away.
“The book in my possession was gifted to me by someone else. I can’t just give it to somebody else.”
Big Wei and Little Wei were not surprised at her answer.
“Then you have no choice but to follow us back to our sect.” Little Wei said.
“I have my own life to live, and my own things to do. There’s no way that I will follow you back.” Sima You Yue rejected them directly.
Little Wei was infuriated by her words as he said icily, “That’s not your decision to make!”
“Is it not?” Sima You Yue glanced at the sky, saying, “If I don’t go, could it be that you will be able to forcibly drag me away?”
“We know that you are powerful, and do not want to make an enemy out of you either. That is why you do not have to be so hostile towards us.” Big Wei said.
“I’m not making an enemy out of you, but does Teacher Little Wei think the same way?” Sima You Yue said, “You have not fully concealed the greed in your eyes.”
Big Wei glared pointedly at Little Wei before turning back to Sima You Yue to explain with a smile, “You misunderstand. He does not have that intention. He’s just a little excited because you have the Array Foundations.”
“That should be because I’m inside the sect, right?” Sima You Yue replied bitingly, “If this were the outside, I believe that you would have already acted against me.”
“How could that be.” Big Wei said, “You have the inheritance of our forefathers and are of a higher position than us. We would never treat you with disrespect, much less act against you.”
Sima You Yue smirked icily, disbelieving their words.
“If you do not have anything else to say to me, I’ll take my leave.” After speaking, she turned around to leave.
“You can’t leave!” Little Wei cried out anxiously. When he saw that sima You yue was really leaving, he waved his hand as a ray of light from an array locked her where she was.
“Is this what you meant when you said you wouldn’t act against me!” Sima You Yue turned around and glared at them.
“Little Wei, what are you doing!” Big Wei didn’t think that Little Wei would suddenly attack Sima You Yue and shouted.
“Doing what I should be doing.” Little Wei stood up from his seat as he said to Sima You Yue, “We initially wanted to give you a few years to think about it, but we have things to do now, and cannot continue to tarry. You must leave with us today. Otherwise, give us the book!”
Sima You Yue looked at him and smirked, “I can’t give you the book. Neither will I go with you.”
“That is not up to you!”
“Is it? Instructor Mao, Principal Fan, after listening for so long, will you just watch as I get taken away?” Sima You Yue looked towards the sky.
A space portal opened as Fan Lei and Mao San Quan walked out.
Big Wei’s pupils shrunk. They actually didn’t realise that Mao San Quan and Fan Lei were around the whole time. What was most surprising was that they had been keeping an eye on Sima You Yue the entire time, and were very certain that when she came over, Moa San Quan and the others didn’t come with her. It was also impossible that Sima You Yue had known beforehand.
This meant that he and Little Wei did not notice what was happening in the sky, but You Yue had!
Her sensitivity to the spatial realm was higher than theirs!
Such a terrifying level of intelligence!
“Big Wei, Little Wei, Old Yuan has already let you guys leave, so you guys can take your leave earlier.” MAo San Quan said.
“I was just wondering why you guys were still here. So you were waiting for You Yue.” Fan Lei said, “We told you before that you cannot force him. What, do you want to renege?”
When Sima You Yue heard what Fan Lei and the others said, she saw that they had long since known about the plans Big Wei and the others had plotted against her. They just didn’t tell her. Furthermore, Big Wei and Little Wei should have left long ago, but they didn’t because she had taken a long leave of absence, and they didn’t know where she went. Hence, they could only wait here.
“We didn’t renege, we’re just discussing it with him.” Big Wei said.
“Then what is the meaning of this?” Mao San Quan looked disdainfully at the array they had trapped You Yue in.
Big Wei looked at Little Wei, and he reluctantly deactivated it.
Mao San Quan and Fei Lei were here, so they would definitely be unable to take Sima You Yue away.
“You Yue, if you don’t leave with us today, someone else will come for you another day. I hope that you can think this through properly and make the right decision when the time comes.” Big Wei said, “If you join our Hundred Changing Doors, it won’t be a waste of your talent.”
Sima You Yue didn’t have a bad impression of Big Wei and nodded when she heard what he said, “I will consider it.”
Big Wei took out a temporary array and opened a portal, leaving with Little Wei.
Once they left, Sima You Yue bowed to Mao San Quan and Fan Lei, saying, “Many thanks to Principal Fan and Instructor Mao for your rescue.”
“The Hundred Changing Doors have been going through tumultuous times recently, and are having internal division. They want to drag you in to offset the balance.” Mao San Quan said.
It was no wonder they said they had to hurry their return.
“Big Wei and Little Wei have been in the sect for such a long time, and we do have some rapport. We can still talk to them. If others come, they won’t be so easy to deal with.” Fan Lei said, “Don’t act on your own in the future, otherwise, you might endanger yourself.”
Sima You Yue nodded. If they couldn’t take her back, they might have designs on her book.
If she was careless, she would end up on dangerous ground again.
