Chapter 640 - How have you been living
Towards Xu Jin’s appearance, Sima You Yue could not help but hold her forehead, hang her head very low, and pretend she didn’t see him. However, Mao San Quan was used to his behavior. With a forced smile, he took out a small box from his interspatial ring and threw it at Sima You Yue.
“This is my personal compensation.”
Sima You Yue opened the box and saw a blood red spirit stone inside it. It was valuable at a glance. If she absorbed the spirit power contained in it, she calculated it wouldn’t be any less effective than her closed cultivating in cultivation tower for a month.
Xu Jin glanced at the spirit stone and saw that it was pretty good. Then he smiled and said, “Old Mao, you really have many good things. You Yue, since it was given to you by Director Mao, you can keep it.”
“Yes” Sima You Yue stored everything away. She turned towards Mao San Quan and said, “Thank you, Director Mao.”
“Practice hard, and the world will belong to you young people in the future.” Mao San Quan preached.
“This student will.” Sima You Yue respectfully answered.
“Alright, if there’s nothing else, quickly disappear from my eyes.” Mao San Quan urged as he waved his hand in dismissal at Xu Jin.
“Director Mao, I have something to ask you.” Sima You Yue started.
“Mao San Quan was surprised, but he still smiled. “Ask me? Go ahead, what’s the matter.”
“It’s like this. I have a little brother. He entered the inner sect a year ago. But my big brother told me there’s no news of him. So, I would to find out about his whereabouts.” Sima You Yue spoke.
“What’s his name?” Mao San Quan asked.
“Little Tu.”
“Little Tu?” Mao San Quan’s eyes flashed in astonishment. “He is your little brother?”
“He’s not my blood-related little brother. He has been living with us since we rescued him from the bad guys a few years ago. We all think of him as our little brother.” Sima You Yue said.
“He’s not in the sect as of now.” Mao San Quan said. “Don’t ask me where he is. I don’t know. Vice president Fan is in charge of this matter.”
“In charge? What happened to Little Tu?” Sima You Yue worriedly asked.
“Don’t worry. There’s probably nothing the matter with him.” Mao San Quan answered.
“Director Mao, what happened to Little Tu?”
“While he was cultivating in the blood lake – I don’t know the reason – the spirit beast’s blood in his body recovered completely, and his body can’t bear the power.” Mao San Quan explained.
“So when he left, it was really dangerous. You don’t know his situation as of now?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Before that, the Vice president has sent back news that his situation has stabilized, but this year no news has been sent back.” Mao San Quan replied.
“No news means good news.” Xu Jin interjected. “I met that little guy before. His body was alright. He probably won’t easily succumb.”
Sima ouyue was choked by his straightforward words, but her subconscious believed his words.
“Alright, let’s go. Let’s not bother Old Mao anymore.” Xu Jin got down from Mao San Quan’s desk and departed.
“Oh right, President Yuan will be back in a few months.”
Xu Jin stopped his steps when he heard Mao San Quan’s words. He shrugged and said, “After going out for so long, he will come back at last. What has he figured out?”
Mao San Quan seamlessly glanced at Sima You Yue, then cast his gaze afar. He said quietly, “There is something he has to come back to deal with, so he has to come back. In short, you’ve been cashing in recently. Don’t let him clean you up as soon as he comes back!”
“I know, I know. If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.” Xu Jin waved impatiently as if he was upset about the news of President Yuan returning.
Sima You Yue left with him. Seeing that he was a little depressed, she couldn’t help but ask, “Your relationship with President Yuan not good?”
Xu Jin shook his head. If it wasn’t a good, he would have already left. How could he promised to stay here for so many years.
“Your relationship with President Yuan is really good?” She asked again.
Xu Jin nodded, then immediately he shook his head again. He looked up at the sky in a 45 degree angle, and sighed sadly. Originally, he had said that he would take Sima You Yue around, but now he wasn’t in the mood. He took her directly back to the courtyard and said she could do anything she wanted before going back to his room, leaving her confused.
“Little junior brother is back? Perfect, we can discuss alchemy issues.” Han Miao Shuang came from the alchemy room and saw Sima You Yue standing in the courtyard. She waved at her.
Sima You Yue walked over. “Second senior sister, aren’t you refining pills?”
Yes, I was refining a batch and it failed, so I haven’t continued.” Han Miao Shuang said, “What are you doing standing in the courtyard?”
“Second senior sister, I have something to ask you.”
“Alright, go ahead.”
“How is master and President Yuan’s relationship?”
“Very good!” Han Miao Shuang nodded.
“Then why did his mood changed when he heard that president yuan is coming back? A sunny day turned rainy. He’s wholly depressed. He said he would take me around the sect, but he didn’t go at last. He brought me back.” Sima You Yue said.
“President Yuan is returning? When?” Han Miao Shuang blinked her eyes in curiosity.
“Director Mao didn’t say.” Sima You Yue answered. “No, second senior sister, that’s not the point. The point is why did the master become like this when he heard that President Yuan was returning?”
“That, leave him alone. He is troubled by himself, and it’ll be good if he’s troubled.” Han Miao Shuang said, “You can show me why I failed every time I practice this pill.”
“What is master troubled with?” Sima You Yue didn’t understand.
Every time when President Yuan wants come back, master will be more happy. But President Yuan will take him out to go fix every time he comes back, and then catch him doing a bad job, and then say he should not be arrogant, should care about the students, do not always quarrel with the teachers of the students, so every time he hears that President Yuan is going to come back, he’s always like this. He wants to come back again and also don’t want him to. Just pretend you don’t see it.” Han Miao Shuang picked up the herbs and said it casually.
Sima You Yue smiled. She was worried about him just now for naught. It turned out he was depressed because he was troubled by this.
When she thought of Little Tu, she began to worry again. She wondered about his situation.
“Little junior brother, stop thinking too much. Come and see where is it that I’m wrong.” Han Miao Shuang saw she was in a dazed, so she urged her.
“Oh.” Sima You Yue came over to her pill furnace. She carefully sniffed the pill furnace. She asked in surprise, “Second senior sister, how do you make your pills every day?”
“Right! What’s wrong?” Han Miao Shuang nodded.
“I’m very curious. How have you lived till now?!”
