Chapter 269
Sima You Yue and the others in the inn had rested only for a moment when Bei Gong Tang and the others returned.
“How was it?” Sima You Yue asked while pouring them tea.
Wei Zi Qi walked over and sat down, took the cup of tea and drank a gulp before saying, “Ouyang has gone got the palace. He initially wanted us to go with him, but we weren’t used to it so we came back on our own.”
Sima You Yue leaned on the table, saying, “That guy Ouyang might actually become the Emperor of the South Eclipse Kingdom.”
“That’s right, as we were leaving, we heard a lot of people talking to him about the issue of ascending to the throne!” Fatty Qu said.
“In the future, we will also be able to walk around unbridled in the South Eclipse Kingdom, ha ha ha-” Sima You Yue guffawed.
A few of them started judging her and said, “Forget it, even if it weren’t for him, you would still be able to walk around unbridled.”
“Rubbish, I am so weak. How could I boldly strut around.” Sima You Yue said, “However, I think that Ouyang will definitely be very busy for the next few days. He won’t have time to take care of us, so we need to be a bit careful when we go out.”
“Everyone outside is gossipping about who that team who appeared riding on those Divine Beasts were. Everyone is extremely curious about you all!”
Wei Zi Qi said as well, “It’s lucky that you all put on face masks, or else, based on the whole troop, the news would have spread to the ears of heavens knows which large clan in no time.”
“I just guessed that things would be that way, that’s why I got them all to put on face masks.” Sima You Yue said, “Those experts of the Nalan Clan have all been exterminated, which would make the Nalan Clan want to vomit blood. Just thinking about it fills me with joy.”
“Ha ha, they will really want to spit blood this time!” Fatty Qu said while smiling, “They initially wanted to reach their hands out to the South Eclipse Kingdom, but never expected that they would suffer double the loss while trying to trick us. They even lost so many Spirit Paragons and Spirit Saints.”
“This is no small setback for the Nalan Clan. It will also affect your competition at the meeting this time.” Wei Zi Qi said.
“You Yue, when do you plan to go and participate in the meeting?” Bei Gong Tang asked.
“No rush, there’s still two months to the meeting. We just have to leave one month before.” Sima You Yue replied, “We’ll see whether or not Ouyang needs our help before deciding.”
“That’s fine.”
“That’s right, if Ouyang decides to stay, do you all want to stay with him?” Sima You Yue asked.
The three of them never expected that Sima You Yue would ask them this question and were momentarily stunned.
After a long moment had passed, Wei Zi Qi said, “Our mission is to accompany you up to the higher realms. No matter where we cultivate, it is all the same to me.”
Fatty Qu scratched his head and said, “I still want to follow you.”
In any case, they had started by following her out and they got all their accomplishments today because they had her help. They always depended on her in this aspect.
It was only Bei Gong Tang who said definitely, “He will not become the South Eclipse Kingdom’s emperor.”
“I feel this way as well.” Wei Zi Qi said, “Ouyang’s ambitions lie elsewhere.”
“Hmph, when will we actually be able to go up to the higher realms!” Sima You Yue said, “I also wonder how Master is doing.”
“It’ll be soon.” Wei Zi Qi said, “Our cultivation speeds aren’t slow at all right now, I believe that we will be able to reach there in a few years.”
“Actually, you don’t have to worry.” Bei Gong Tang said, “You still have your master’s soul imprint on you. As long as it’s around, your Master will be fine.”
Sima You Yue touched her forehead. Inside her sea of consciousness, she still had a faint impression of a person sitting beside her refining soul arts.
Today, they had just gone through a large battle. As a result, they were not going to cultivate tonight, but were drinking and enjoying themselves in the house at the inn. They only went to rest when half the night was over.
A group of youths were together drinking without a shred of restraint. On the second day, they all had hangovers, so Sima You Yue refined a big pot of medicine, and the bitterness caused the whole group to cry out.
Ouyang Fei didn’t appear through these four five days. He only appeared in the inn in the evening of the fifth day.
Sima You Yue just happened to be carrying in a plate of her roasted chicken. Seeing that the clothes he was wearing didn’t have much of a difference, she rushed up and scrutinised him, asking, “Why aren’t you wearing that bold dragon robe?”
Ouyang Fei stretched forth a hand and pushed Sima You Yue’s head away, saying, “I didn’t ascend to the throne.”
“You didn’t ascend to the throne?”
“Mm, I was settling these issues these few days.” Ouyang Fei sat in the centre of the group and stretched, saying, “I’ve been so used to being free and easy that I really wasn’t accustomed to being stuck in there these few days.”
Everyone teased him, saying, “You grew up in the palace!”
“The heart has been set free, it can’t return.” Ouyang Fei took the bowl and chopsticks and began to eat.
“Since you didn’t ascend to the throne, what did your uncles and grandparents say?” Sima You Yang asked.
“I found a suitable person for them.” Ouyang Fei said, “Although I had to do some twists and turns, they agreed in the end.”
“You couldn’t have given the throne to your younger brother, who is just a teenager, right?” Fatty Qu said.
“Mm, he’s just a teenager now, but he won’t be in a few years time.” Ouyang Fei said, “Being able to live under Ouyang Dong’s suppression means that he isn’t weak at all.”
“However, he and you are not from the same mother. Is the Sang Clan okay with that?” Wei Zi Qi asked.
“His mother has passed away a long time ago, and my mother has always been caring for him. That’s why I got my mother to bring him over. In this way, he will be able to ascend to the throne, and the Sang Clan will have nothing to say about it.” Ouyang Fei said, “It’s just that I may have to remain in the South Eclipse Kingdom for a while.”
“Mm, you’ve left the South Eclipse Kingdom for so many years, you should stay and accompany your mother properly.” Sima You Yue said.
Ouyang Fei thought the same way. He had left for so many years and wanted to accompany his mother properly now that he had seen her.
“However, even if I’m not with you all for this period of time, I will still grasp all opportunities to cultivate. When the time comes, when you head up to the upper realms, I will be there with you.”
“Okay.”
Ouyang Fei returned when he had finished eating. This caused Sima You Yue to wonder whether or not this guy had guessed they would be eating dinner, so he came to steal food.
After that, Ouyang Fei didn’t appear at all for the next few days. The next time he appeared was when he invited them to participate in his younger brother’s throne ascension ceremony.
Sima You Yue and the others had never attended this kind of event before, so they agreed.
Nobody else knew, but the sang Clan was the most familiar about what an important role Sima You Yue and the others had played. Therefore, they were filled with gratitude and invited them as guests of the royal family, expressing their gratitude to them once again.
When it was time for the ceremony to begin, Sima You Yue saw Ouyang Fei’s younger brother. He was the only child aside from Ouyang Fei, who had survived under the attack of the royal family.
He was only sixteen years old, and was around the same age as Ouyang Fei was when she had met him. Although his face was still young, his gaze was familiar. There were traces of intelligence and he was definitely a capable person.
The entire process was elaborate and complication. After Sima You Yue and the others had participated in the procession, they went back and did not stay back to participate in the night banquet.
The things over here were pretty much settled. Sima You Lin found her and said that they could set off for the meeting place- Saint City.
In the beginning, Sima You Yue did not understand why that place was called Saint City. She later found out that it was because that was the country where the Sage Pavilion ruled.
Seeing the Sage Pavilion, Sima You Yue inadvertently thought of the man who had seized her lips and kissed her.
