Chapter 438 - Reprimanding the people under you
Third Ding crawled up from the ground and even thought of attacking again, but Zhuo Xiao quickly rushed to the front, saying, “Lord Third Ding, it is better for you not to attack again. There is an array here. If you attack, the array will target you.”
Third Ding’s spirit energy remained on his palm, but his expression was horrifying.
“There is an array master in there?”
“That’s right, an array master. The cause of the rebounding spirit energy was because of the array.” Zhuo Xiao’s expression remained calm, but he was about to burst with laughter.
You would usually strut around right? But now you’re pretty flustered, aren’t you?
Array Master. The entire tiger range did not have a single array master, but you dared provoke an array master. You must have nothing better to do.
Serves you right!
“Scram!” Sima You Yue’s voice carried over again. Third Ding, who had been shouted at, had a belly full of fire but he dared not vent it. He could only grit his teeth and depart with fury.
Once he left, Sima You Yue said to Zhuo Ma, “You should head back first.”
Zhuo Ma was a little worried. However, seeing Sima You Yue’s unquestionable expression, she nodded, saying, “Although that Zhuo Shu Ren is pretty weak, he is a relative of Heavenly Tiger Hall’s hall master. His position in Heavenly Tiger Hall is far from average.”
“I got it.” Sima You Yue nodded.
Zhuo Ma wanted to say something, but seeing Sima You Yue’s apathetic expression, she could only swallow it down, saying, “Then… I’ll go off first.”
Sima You Yue saw Zhuo Ma’s dull gaze and sighed secretly. However, she didn’t say anything and let her leave.
“Yue Yue, I never thought that you would attract butterflies even like this.” Little Roar appeared in her embrace and said with a smirk.
She couldn’t open the Spirit Pagoda, so Little Roc and the others couldn’t come out. Because Little Roar was contracted with her soul, he could come out these two days.
Sima You Yue saw that Little Roar was able to come out, and guessed that the day she could open her Spirit Pagoda was coming soon.
She furrowed her eyebrows, saying, “I don’t know why it is either. She was clearly a good little lady… I initially wanted to leave the moment the Spirit Pagoda open, but it seems like I have to leave earlier.”
“Actually, even I am able to come out, so you should be able to open the Spirit Pagoda soon.” Little Roar said, “however, it’s too troublesome to go to the inner regions from the outside. I wonder where you have to go to be able to enter it.”
“I can only go to a bigger place to try and see.” Sima You Yue said, “This Heavenly Tiger area is considered pretty backward.”
“In the past, we all even talked about coming to the outer regions to take a look. We should have just come back then. Little Roar was lying in Sima You Yue’s embrace. He was sprawled on his back, and his little legs were playing with her hair.
“Even if we did, it would have been useless. This Heavenly Tiger area is so small. There’s no way we would have come here.” Sima You Yue said.
“But we’d at least know how to get to the central regions. We wouldn’t be wandering around blind like now.”
“We’ll just have to find out by asking around when the time comes.” Sima You Yue said.
“There’s no other choice.” Little Roar mimicked Sima You Yue and gave a sigh. Then, his long ears suddenly moved, saying, “They’ve come.”
Sima You Yue could also sense that they had come, so she placed Little Roar on the table, then shifted the array stones in her office around before throwing two more on it.
Zhuo Shu Ren came to the house with a dark expression, while Third Ding and Zhuo Ran followed after him.
Just now, Third Ding had cut a sorry figure when he came out. He didn’t bring along the person they wanted to dominate and force out of their place. Instead, he had been scolded by the other party, instructing him that he had to go there personally.
Since there was someone who actually dared challenge them, they immediately brought people marching over here.
He initially wanted to punish Sima You yue on the spot, but never expected to find out that she was an Array Master on the way over. He was momentarily troubled.
An Array Master was a respected position, so it was no wonder that the Zhuo clan would let her stay in Top Park.
The proverb was right, one had to know who the master was before beating a dog. If he did not care when his own loyal dog had been beaten, how could he still act wantonly in Heavenly Tiger’s range? How could he raise his head in front of other hall masters?
“Hall Master, this is the place.” Third Ding said while pointing to Sima You Yue’s room.
“There’s an array here?” Zhuo Shu Ren looked at the unassuming room and even looked suspiciously at Third Ding. His gaze was unkind, as if he would harshly punish him if he dared lie to him.
“Hall Master, it’s true. I was truly injured here earlier because of the array.” Third Ding nodded and said definitively.
However, Zhou Shu Ren still didn’t believe it. Who in this world still knew how to make battle arrays?
“Go and try.” He ordered.
“Hall Master…” Third Ding looked at Zhou Shu Ren with a bitter expression. He saw that he was about to explode with rage, so he could only swallow what he wanted to say and helplessly walk forward a few steps.
The Zhuo clansmen simultaneously retreated quite a few steps to distance themselves from Third Ding. Zhou Shu Ren wanted to walk backwards as well, but if even he left, didn’t that mean that he believed what he said?
“Go!” He ordered.
Third Ding saw that he was determined, so he sent out a blast of Spirit Energy and attacked Sima You Yue’s main door.
That spirit energy seemed to touch a ripple just before the door, and it was like a spring, flying back to where it came. Its attack power was amplified by multiple times.
The moment Third Ding launched the attack, he dodged to the side. The rebounded attack directly hit Zhou Shu Ren.
“Bang-”
Zhou Shu Ren was sent flying by the attack and ended up in front of the door to the house.
“Good job Third Ding. I just asked you to try it out, but you actually used so much strength! Cough cough, this Lord will kill you!” Zhou Shu Ren cursed as he climbed up, glaring daggers at Third Ding.
“Hall Master, when did I use too much strength? You saw it, I merely threw a little bit of spirit energy.” Third Ding complained grievously, “It was the array that multiplied its strength by a few folds. It’s not my fault!”
“Who cares, couldn’t you have remained standing in front? Since you dared to run, you must be looking for death!” Zhou Shu Ren continued to scold him.
“Hall Master, I already told you that it would rebound, but you were the one who didn’t believe me…” Third Ding looked at his master with complaint. However, as he was being glared down, his words fell softer and softer.
“Too noisy.” Sima You Yue’s voice was heard from inside the house. The outside immediately quieted down.
It was especially so for Third Ding and Zhou Shu Ren, for the two of them no longer dared open their mouth to speak. That the other party was an Array Master was enough to make them look extremely bad. How were they supposed to bluster about and get the other party to give them this place?
Zhou Shu Ren glared fiercely at Zhou Ran. Who knew where this Zhuo clansmen found an array master that could form such powerful arrays. Based on their understanding of the Heavenly Tiger range, there’s no way this person was from here!
“I heard that you wanted me to get lost and give you this place?” Zhou Shu Ren and the others had yet to speak when Sima You Yue’s voice carried over, as if it was her right to start interrogating them.
How would Zhou Shu Ren dare to provoke Sima You Yue. However, the array was a dead thing. The person was living. They dared not touch her while she was in there, but how would they be able to drag her out here?
When they thought of this, their mouths hooked into a sneer. The respectful words left their lips, “Since the great master is here, we would rush over no matter where we were. We heard that the Zhuo clan invited an array master and were afraid the Zhuo clan would not be able to host you well. We want to invite you to be our guest over at Heavenly Tiger Hall.”
