Chapter 382 - Keeping Some Interest First
Seeing the smile that was on Sima You Yue’s face, Bei Gong Tang’s heart hurt a little. “You made sixty Divinity Pills in six days, it’s been hard on you. It’s a pity that my skills are still lacking, and I can’t help you.”
“It’s alright. Why are you blaming yourself?” Sima You Yue looked at her, saying. “In the future there’ll definitely be work for you to do. At that time, even if you wanted to avoid the work, you wouldn’t be able to.”
At this time, Fatty Qu walked over, saying, “The Yun family is packing up their tents, and they will be ready soon. I’ll pack mine soon.” He left promptly after talking.
“I’ll go too.” Bei Gong Tang said, leaving.
Sima You Yue only had a tent and a bed, and packed everything with a wave of her hand. She then proceeded to wait for the others. Not long after, everyone was done. Yun Feng walked over and gave a big bow to Sima You Yue out of respect, and out of gratefulness for saving their lives. He had only heard later that Sima You Yue had saved him that day. Although it had been a few days since he had recovered, because Sima You Yue had not been around, he had not found a prior opportunity to thank her.
Sima You Yue, however, had not thought much about it, and said, “If not for you, You Lin would not have been able to escape from that person’s grasp. My saving you is a way of repaying you for what you’ve done.”
“It is You Lin’s fortune that he has a relative like you.” Yun Feng sighed. Sima You Lin looked at Sima You Yue from afar, his lips unconsciously showing a warm smile. Although he could go avenge himself in a few days, he also liked seeing how she would get angry on his behalf whenever he was hurt.
Yun Jin Wei walked over and announced that they were to leave, and brought them towards the Minor City. Maybe it’s because outside of this city was a no-man’s land, only a few people would pass through. The city looked rather small as well.
Zhan Shao Yuan came out from the guesthouse, and prepared a teleportation array to return to the Zhan family. He then proceeded to recount the story of how he had killed the young master of the Yun family to his own family, and they told him that he would be able to redeem for himself a reward when he had returned. And so after he had settled this issue, he went home excitedly.
However, as he had exited the guesthouse, he encountered someone he should not have seen.
“Yun Feng? Weren’t you poisoned for more than two days? How could you possibly still be alive?” Zhan Shao Yuan was surprised, his face contorted with an expression of disbelief.
Yun Feng said nothing much, his face painted with fear, and he turned to run towards the city outskirts.
“You’re still running? Since you didn’t die the previous time, then I shall kill you myself this time!” Zhan Shao Yuan proclaimed, giving chase.
Because the city had a rule that prohibited one from attacking another in the city, he would have to pursue Yun Feng out of the city. Now that his family had a reward prepared for him, they could not possibly found out that Yun Feng was still alive. They would think that he was lying to them, and he would not only lose his prize, he would be punished as well! So he had to kill Yun Feng that day, no matter what it took.
He chased Yun Feng out of the city, and when he got there, he could take flight, and seeing that Yun Feng had reached the mountain on the outskirts, he continued to chase him there.
However, as he caught sight of the group that was at the mountain, his expressions twisted, and he turned around to escape. Unfortunately, before he had realised it, a group of people had surrounded him from the back.
“You Lin, was it him who had pushed you into the poison?” Sima You Yue asked, looking at Zhan Shao Yuan.
“Yes.” Sima You Lin answered. So it was this fellow who had almost caused him to be unable to see her forever. Damn, this idiot!
Without a word, the Yun Family’s Divine Ranking fighters started to come up as well. Because Zhan Shao Yuan had only just promoted to the Divine Rank, he was quickly overcome, and not even a shred of him remained.
“Young Valley Master, we will return to our family clans, and discuss how to deal with the Zhan family and the Sage Pavilion.” Yun Jin Wei said to Sima You Yue, seeing that Zhan Shao Yuan was now dead.
“Alright.” Sima You Yue nodded. Thinking about the fact that she had to use the teleportation array, she started to feel sick. If just the Restless Continent was this huge, if she were to go up where the distance is even greater, wouldn’t it be even worse if she were to use her teleportation array?
“No, I must strengthen my array powers, so that it would be less painful if I use my own arrays, so that when I go up, I won’t need to visit the Spirit Lord Guild.” She determined in her heart to achieve this.
The Sima family members followed the Yun family members to their clan. And just as they had experienced at the Guo family, they felt their warm welcomes and respectful greetings.
Sima You Yue rested for two days, and in these two days, no one came to bother her. When she started to feel better, she went into her spirit pavilion to study arrays.
“Teleportation arrays, teleportation arrays… I must research thoroughly on teleportation arrays.” Sima You Yue murmured to herself as she searched through the books. Previously in the Little Realms, her teleportation arrays could only send her to a distance of ten or so kilometers, but she could feel that her teleportation arrays were more stable than those of the Spirit Lord Guild’s, and did not feel dizzy. So if she could research properly, she would be able to shake off the discomfort of using the teleportation arrays.
Amongst the teleportation arrays, there were directed teleportation arrays and spontaneous teleportation arrays. She needed to be sure of these two arrays, so that it would be easier for her in the future.
“Little Spirit, how come I feel that this place is different from last time?” Sima You Yue said suddenly, looking up.
“So you just realised that it’s different. After you became a Spirit Paragon, we also underwent changes here.” Little Spirit appeared in the air, carrying some pills as a snack.
“What kind of changes?”
“Time is longer here now. Previously, a day outside would be three days in here. Now, a day outside is like ten days here. The spirit energy is also thicker now.” Little Spirit answered.
“So is the second level ready yet?”
“Nope. Seeing your abilities, I think it will only be ready when you have achieved the Divine Rank.”
“The Divine Rank…” Sima You Yue felt rather downcast. “Creating each level is such a hassle… So if I want to open up the pavilion altogether, how powerful will I need to be?”
“Don’t be discouraged, you. You can’t open the level because your grade is not high enough, an entire rank is not able to compete with increasing in grade in the Divine Ranking.” Little Spirit said.
“Really?” Sima You Yue’s eyes shined. Wouldn’t it be easy to open up the pavilion in the future then?
“But don’t get too excited now, the higher your rank, the more effort will be required. It won’t be easy to open up the pavilion.” Little Spirit dampened her hopes as quickly as she raised them. However, this did not extinguish Sima You Yue’s joy. As long as it was better than she had previously thought, it was enough for her. And now that a day outside was equivalent to ten days in the pavilion, she would be able to have more time to develop her skills and research in arrays, alchemy and the like. Also, with what Little Spirit had said, as she grew her powers, there will continue to be improvement, and at that time, it would be better than what it was now. Just thinking about it made her happy.
“Someone’s here.” Little Spirit warned, and promptly disappeared.
Sima You Yue came out of the spirit pavilion, and just at this time, a knock was heard from the door.
“Come in.”
Bei Gong Tang brought Yun Feng in. When he saw Sima You Yue, Yun Feng bowed towards her, and said, “Uncle Guo and Pei Pei have arrived. My father invites you to meet us.”
Sima You Yue raised her eyebrows. Is this to prepare for the discussion on how to destroy the Zhan family?
