Chapter 512 - Innocently implicated again
Sima You Yue took out a jade bottle and placed it in her hand, saying, “Here, this is for you.”
Kong Xiang Yi looked at the jade bottle and couldn’t wait to open it. When she saw the golden shining pills, her jaw dropped. “You Yue, this is the tendon and marrow cleansing pill? Why are there so many?”
“Dear Feng said that you still have a younger brother whose talent isn’t that great. You often fret about it. He’s still young right now, so this should be rather useful for him.”
Kong Xiang Yi initially wanted to auction two tendon and marrow cleansing pills for her brother. Her talent was pretty good, so she didn’t have much use for this. However, her brother was injured inside her mother’s womb, so his talent wasn’t that good. She had always been searching for a way to help him heal his physique. The best method was to use the tendon and marrow cleansing pill. However, she had never been able to find it. When she had received news of it today, she was ecstatic. She had planned to do everything in her power to get it. However, she never thought that Sima You Yue would leave four pills for her.
“Thank you, You Yue.” Tears started to well up at the corner of her eyes.
“There’s no need to thank me.” Sima You Yue said, “I have yet to thank you for saving Dear Feng’s life.”
Kong Xiang Yi looked at Ximen Feng, and she still had some traces of bashfulness in her eyes. She held the jade bottle tightly, saying, “There’s still a bit of time before the auction. I’m going back first for a bit.”
“Go ahead.” Ximen Feng had told Sima You Yue that she had a good relationship with her younger brother. Since she had gotten this today, she would naturally want to head back earlier. “It’s enough for one person to eat two. There’s no point to eating more than that.”
“Got it.” Kong Xiang Yi nodded.
If Sima You Yue didn’t say that, she would have really given him all four pills.
“Dear Feng, you should head back with Xiang Yi.” Sima You Yue said.
Ximen Feng looked at her, then turned to look at kong Xiang Yi again, nodding his head.
“Then we should head off now. We’ll see whether or not we can make it back in time for the auction.” Kong Xiang Yi pulled Ximen Feng by his arm and left anxiously as she spoke.
Sima You Yue knew that they had their own way to go back, so she let them leave.
Third Mo had remained silent all this while. He waited until they left before leaning on the back of the chair, looking at Sima You Yue and saying, “I never thought that you would really be able to obtain the tendon and marrow cleansing pill.”
“Truly shocking.” Qin Mo said.
“The tendon and marrow cleansing pill is very rare. I remember someone from the outer region had auctioned for one, and had spent a fortune on it. However, it’s still something that appears only once in a few thousand years.” Wu Lingyu went around often, so he was rather well informed to have this piece of news.
Sima You Yue naturally knew about the tendon and marrow cleansing pill that appeared the last time. This was because Bei Gong Tang had told her before about the Bei Gong clan auctioning it and giving it to Bei Gong Er.
When she thought of Bei Gong Tang, she suddenly wondered how she was doing. There was less than one month to the auction, so she wondered whether or not they had arrived.
Initially, she had planned to carefully check up on Ximen Feng’s body. However, he wasn’t here right now, so she could only make other plans.
She went to the Xuan Yuan pavilion and gave the tendon and marrow cleansing pill to JUn Lan. When Jun Lan saw the tendon and marrow cleansing pill, she was extremely excited. Once Sima You Yue left, she dashed towards a meeting with the management.
The time for the auction started to draw nearer and nearer. The memory hotel that Sima You Yue and the others were staying at had long since filled up. However, the people who had moved in all knew that a lone courtyard at the back had remained empty. The courtyard which could initially house twenty to thirty people was occupied by only four people.
Some people saw that the courtyard was rather quiet and had decent scenery, so wanted to move in. However, the manager said that the courtyard was not open for outside rentals. They were not allowed to enter.
Even some people with prestigious identities had to leave with a face full of dust.
On this day, another person had once again looked for the manager to request to rent the courtyard at the back. He had come from the inner regions, and was extremely unbridled.
“Young Master Zong Zheng, someone has already reserved the entire courtyard and we are unable to open it for rent to others. We are truly sorry.” The manager smiled apologetically.”
“It’s been reserved, but isn’t there nobody living in it? Then you should rent it to us.” A male with slanted eyes, named Zong Zheng Lu Ba said.
“Young Master Zong Zheng, we truly cannot do that.” The manager said with a smile, but he was secretly irritated.
“Can’t do that? You should know what kind of power our Zong Zheng clan has? We are giving you respect by deigning to stay here in the first place, but you dare turn us away? An inn on the outer regions dares to defy us? You must have swallowed the guts of a leopard! Do you believe that I can tear your establishment apart?”
“I want to see, just how do you plan on tearing my place apart?” Qin Mo’s chilling voice came from behind him. It gave Zong Zheng Lu Ba quite a scare.
Zong Zheng Lu Ba turned around and saw the person walking out from behind the courtyard. He said with a smile, “Lord Qin, you- what are you doing here?”
“This is my inn. Is it strange for me to be here?” Qin Mo glanced lightly at Zong Zheng Lu Ba, “You were just roaring about here, declaring that you want to tear my establishment apart. What do you mean by this?”
Zong Zheng Lu Ba saw the glare and started to break out in cold sweat, saying, “I was just joking.”
AAfter speaking, he left the premises without waiting for Qin Mo’s reply. When he turned around, he could still feel an icy cold gaze. He thought that it was Qin Mo’s glare, and he was so afraid that he dashed away.
Qin Mo saw that hatred in Sima You Yue’s eyes, and patted her shoulder.
Sima You Yue retracted her gaze and her hands were clenched right. She said in a low voice, “I definitely have to kill him!”
“Okay, but you can’t do it now.” Qin Mo said, “The Zong Zheng Clan has sent an elder over this time. He is almost breaking through to the monarch rank. If you act now, you may not walk out of this unscathed.”
Sima You Yue nodded to show that she understood.
The Zong Zheng clan had long since sent people over. It was just that some of them were killed by Ximen Feng on the way here. This time, they had sent their elder. One reason was to participate in the auction, but another reason was to find out who the murderer was.
They weren’t on that intimate relationships with the people who were killed, but the Zong Zheng clan valued their reputation. If they did not get to the bottom of whoever killed their clansmen, others would assume that they were easily bullied.
Sima You Yue was acquainted with Zong Zheng Lu before. It was because she used to have a good relationship with Zong Zheng Han Yue. Both of them had the name ‘Yue’, and they were both the more talented ones in their generation. Furthermore, the relationship between their clans was not bad, so she would go over to the Zong Zheng clan often to hang out and chat with Zong ZHeng Han Yue and spar together. That was why she was familiar with quite a few of the the Zong Zheng clan.
“How is Zong Zheng Han Yue now?”
Qin Mo glanced at Wu Lingyu, saying, “She’s entered the southern desolation Sage Pavilion. She’s been enjoying the favour of the sage pavlion’s pavilion master, so her position is naturally high.”
Sima You Yue laughed coldly, “It has always been her dream to enter the Sage Pavilion. She has actually achieved it. The Sage Pavilion, huh. It truly has very deep origins.”
Zong Zheng Han Yue, who had killed her, had entered the Sage Pavilion. Nalan Lan, who had also tried to kill her, was also in the Sage Pavilion. It went without saying that she would have a lifelong grudge with the Sage Pavilion!
When she thought of this, she couldn’t help but glare at Wu Lingyu.
Wu Lingyu gave her a look at showed how wronged he felt. This had nothing to do with him! He was being innocently implicated again…
