Chapter 494 - Super disgusting
The reason he had taken out the Jade Dragon Ginseng Tea today was to test and see whether Sima You Yue was from the central region. If she was, there was no way she wouldn’t know this.
“Young Lord Sima, you look very young. I wonder how old you are?”
Sima You Yue lowered her head and her eyes flashed. He was asking for her age? What was this man planning to do? He couldn’t be thinking of marrying his daughter to her, right?
Thinking of how she had said ‘Is the wine fine or am I?’ she almost broke out in cold sweat.
“I’m twenty five.”
“Twenty Five?” Bei Gong Ao looked at Sima You Yue. Seeing how she dared to travel and wander around, she would definitely become someone great, “My daughter is only twenty three this year. You two are pretty similar in age, aren’t you.”
“Ha ha…” She didn’t want to continue the conversation, so she laughed politely.
“I wonder if Young Lord Sima is married yet?” Bei Gong Ao continued to probe.
Sima You Yue felt extremely nauseated, and was lamenting about why Bei Gong Tang and the others were taking so long to come.
“I’m not married yet.” Sima You Yue said, “My parents told me that I’m still young and stable. It’s too early to get married. In any case, I’m a cultivator and it would be too early for me to get married even if I was a hundred. I have no desire to be lorded over by a woman already. It’s still better to be free!”
Bei Gong Ao wasn’t an idiot. He knew that Sima You Yue was rejecting him. However, seeing how upset Bei Gong Er was upstairs, he could only say with a smile, “It’s said that family comes become work. One first builds a family, then builds his career. The one who said it said it rightly.”
“I still have a few other older brothers in my family. They’re not in a rush, so neither am I. I want to cherish my youth and wander far away in this land!” Sima You Yue said.
“Ha ha…” Bei Gong Ao no longer knew how to carry on the conversation with Sima You Yue. The other party had already spoken so obviously, how was he supposed to go up just to fail?’
Seeing his daughter’s expression, he sighed secretly once again before continuing with a smile, “Actually, I came here today to discuss something with you.”
Sima You Yue raised her eyebrows in question, “Could it be that something has happened with the pill refinement?”
“No, no.” Bei Gong Ao raised his head, saying, “It’s like this. My daughter has taken a fancy to you, Young Lord Sima. I have to thicken my skin a little to ask you what your thoughts are.”
Sima You Yue’s eyes grew large. He really did want to marry his daughter to her! This was really too disgusting!
“Cough, cough. I heard that Young Master Bei Gong has two daughters. One is called Bei Gong Tang, another called Bei Gong Er. I wonder which daughter has taken a fancy to me?”
Bei Gong Ao was stunned when he heard Bei Gong Tang’s name mentioned. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. How did she know about Bei Gong Tang? He must have heard the gossip! It seemed that he had to get rid of some of the servants.
Without waiting for him to reply, Sima You Yue continued, “No matter who it is, I want none of them as my wife. The young missus love is wasted on me.”
“My daughter…” Bei Gong Ao wanted to try a little harder for his daughter and sell some of her positive attributes, but before he spoke, a guard rushed in hurriedly and muttered a few words by his ear.
“What? Are you telling the truth?” Bei Gong Ao looked at the guard in shock.
“Yes, they are currently waiting by the door. The Clan Leader wants Young Master to head over quickly.” The guard replied.
“Young Lord Sima…”
“Since Young Master Bei Gong has some urgent matters to attend to, I will head back first.” Sima You Yue said as she stood up.
“Alright, I’ll get my men to send you back.” Bei Gong Ao waved his hand as a servant girl walked over to lead Sima You Yue away.
When Bei Gong Er heard Sima You Yue’s rejection from upstairs, she was seething with rage. When she thought of the medicine that the servant girl had brought back yesterday, she said, “I didn’t intend on doing this to you at first, but you’ve forced me!”
“Young Miss, there’s trouble, trouble!” Bei Gong Er’s personal servant ran in hurriedly up the stairs and called out anxiously.
“Shut up! I already know that there’s trouble!” Bei Gong Er shouted at her servant.
The servant girl was stunned for a while. How did her young miss know what happened? She had been in the back of the courtyard the entire time, how did she find out what happened in front?
Bei Gong Er saw that the servant girl was remaining silent, so she yelled, “What are you daydreaming for? Aren’t you going to pour me a glass of water? Are you dead?!”
“Yes yes yes, I’ll go now!” The servant girl ran out to make tea.
After a short moment, the servant girl placed the tea on the table and went in, saying, “Young Miss, please drink the tea.”
Bei Gong Er picked up the tea and used the cover to block two tea leaves, saying, “What is happening now that Father has run out in such a hurry?”
“Does Young Miss not know what is happening?”
“I haven’t gone out at all, how would I know?” Bei Gong Er spat back.
“But when I came in just now to report the news to you, you said that you already knew there was trouble…” The servant girl said aggrievedly.
“You dare to talk back?” Bei Gong Tang pinched the servant girl’s arm forcefully and said, “Speak. What is happening.”
“It- It’s Bei Gong Tang. She’s back. She said she’s here to rescue her mother and younger brother. She’s making a ruckus at the main door!” The servant girl cried.
“Peng-” Bei Gong Er threw the piping hot tea at the servant girl before standing up and cursing, “Useless! You didn’t even tell me something this urgent!”
She dashed out in a hurry after speaking.
The servant girl had no time to change, so could only user her spirit power to dry her clothes before dashing out after her.
It was a good thing that everyone was a cultivator, so she wouldn’t be too injured by this kind of burn.
Sima You Yue followed the servant girl and walked towards the house. When she came across the abandoned courtyard, she went behind the servant girl and produced a pill bottle. She made the palace girl sniff it, and she fell to the ground unconscious before she even knew it.
Sima You Yue kept the servant girl into the spirit pagoda, then took out the Mother Son stone to communicate with Wu Lingyu. She then called Little Roar out and fused with him to enter the courtyard with a flash of her body.
As she walked to the courtyard, she kept away all the scarlet bees that were guarding the area. After she entered the house, she found the underground passed and entered it quickly.
The passageway was dark and so she created a fireball. She used it to light the way, eventually reaching two prison cells.
Yin Lan and Bei Gong Hang had long heard sounds of movement, and stood up when they saw Sima You Yue come in with her fireball.
“Aunty, I’m here to save you both. I’m going to attack the chains now, stand back.” Sima You Yue said as she released her spirit energy and attacked the shackles. However, aside from leaving a scratch, the chains stood firm.
“This prison was built using the mysterious ten thousand year ice iron. The average person cannot break it, not even me.” Yin Lan said, “How could I have forgotten. If these chains cannot be broken, we cannot go out.”
“Not a problem.” Sima You Yue took out a crimson flame as she spoke, burning the chains below. In a short moment, the chains were melted.
“Cling clang-”
She broke the chains apart, then opened the door, saying, “Aunty, come out first.” After speaking, she went to burn Bei Gong Hang’s chains.
Yin Lan didn’t know what kind of flame Sima You Yue was using, and regained her senses and stepped outside.
After the both of them had been rescued, she led them running out the door.
