Chapter 1017 - Affects the mind
Sima You Yue shook her head before she kept the item in her hand.
“Let’s go back. It’s going to be dawn soon.” Mao San Quan said.
“Alright.”
After Sima You Yue and the others came back to the inn, the sky had already started to turn bright in the east.
Mao San Quan didn’t go back to his room, there wasn’t much time left.
After Sima You Yue went back, she went into the spirit pagoda and stared blankly at the things that Sima Liu Yun gave her. Having to see her like that, Little Roar and the rest watched her from nearby but didn’t dare to go near.
Crimson Flame turned into his human form and walked to her side.
“You are emotionally unstable now, it’s not good for the alchemy contest.” Crimson Flame said.
“I know, but I can’t calm down now.” Sima You Yue turned around and looked at him and asked, “Crimson Flame, how big is this world exactly? Everytime I thought I knew enough, then I realised that I only know the tip of an iceberg. When you were injured and slept in the egg for so many years and now you only recovered by ten to twenty percent, but you are already so powerful. Where did you exactly come from? How strong are you exactly? Did you come from this world? What is above the Emperor? Can someone even become Emperor now?”
“You think too much.” Crimson Flame continued, “You will know how big the world is when you grow up. It doesn’t do you any good even if you think so much now.”
“I know, the boundaries haven’t risen to that level, knowing too much will affect your mind.” Sima You Yue continued, “But there are so many things that make me come in contact with all these inevitably. It makes me tired emotionally from time to time with it pressuring me.”
“You’re suppressing too many things, that’s why you feel tired.” Crimson Flame continued, “You are still young, there’s too many things and it’s not something that you can come in touch with at your age and strength, after a long time, you will be tired. This obviously shows that you know too many things that you shouldn’t and it affected your mind. What you got to do now is not to think of all these things and focus on what is in front of you. Be firm with your mind, understand? If not you will be stuck and won’t be able to step forwards.”
“I understand.” Sima You Yue nodded, “I will keep my mind on track.”
“I believe you will.” Crimson Flame continued, “But you look exhausted, best is not to think of anything and get a good sleep, then focus on your contest tomorrow.”
“I’ll try.” Sima You Yue said.
At first she thought she wouldn’t be able to sleep, she didn’t expect that her sleepiness would take over after she laid on her bed and fell deep asleep quickly.
With this sleep, she felt that she slept for a century but also as if she only closed her eyes for a while. After she woke up, she was filled with vitality, her mind was relaxed and emptied and wasn’t filled with anything.
Crimson Flame sat beside her, seeing her opened her eyes and said, “Let’s go out, everyone is waiting for you.”
“Mm.” Sima You Yue sat up and extended her arms and embraced Crimson Flame and said, “Thank you.”
Crimson Flame didn’t push her away, lightly patted her back and said, “Go on.”
“Mm, I will definitely bring the award back! You all wait here for me!”
After saying, she went out in a flash.
Little Roar flew over, landed in Crimson Flame’s embrace and said, “She’s much more lively, the big amount of energy you used wasn’t wasted.”
“She only needs to relax herself.” Crimson Flame continued, “I only let her have a good sleep.”
Sima You Yue knew, this wasn’t only just a good night sleep but it also made her completely relax. No matter how rough the path was going to be next time, she could only take one step at a time with no shortcuts.
With this thought, she regained her attitude. Things have to be settled one by one, wasn’t it?
Coming outside, everyone was ready and only waiting for her to come out.
Mao San Quan knew that she had to balance herself after what Sima You Yue experienced yesterday, so he didn’t rush her. Seeing her coming out, he said, “Let’s go.”
Sima You Yue gave them an apologetic smile and went to the arena with everyone.
When they were at the entrance, they met people from the Divine Devil Valley, Sima You Yue went over to greet them.
“Hello Senior Uncle, Senior Brother.” She bowed to Liang Wu Ming.
“I heard you were in seclusion, I was worried that you couldn’t come out in time to participate in the contest!” Ying Bai Chuan laughed and continued, “Don’t tell me you went into hiding?”
“Senior Brother, you are so smart.” Sima You Yue gave him a look, “Actually I wanted to look for you guys the other day, but I heard you guys went to the Pill Subdivision and I got surrounded by people who looked at me like a fool, so I might as well go into seclusion to revise about the knowledge about refining pills.”
“This round of contest you better do your best, you’re the Young Master of Divine Devil Valley, if you get good results, Divine Devil Valley would glow too!” Wu Liang Ming exclaimed.
“I will do my best!” Sima You Yue said.
“When are you returning to Divine Devil Valley?” Ying Bai Chuan questioned.
Sima You Yue took a glance at Mao San Quan and said, “After I clear up some of the things then I’ll visit the valley. Before that, I will have to achieve good results, then I can go there honourably!”
“I’ve talked to Mao San Quan, he said given your gifts and strength, you can go into seclusion in the sect if you want to, you can do it in the central region too. I think it’s better if you cultivate in the central region.” Liang Wu Ming commented.
“I will think about it.” Sima You Yue responded.
“You can go back now, they are waiting for you.”
“Mm, go on.”
Sima You Yue came back to the sect’s team and joined everyone in the contest area.
“Master, when will Junior Brother really come back to the valley?” Ying Bai Chuan asked as he watched Sima You Yue’s back.
“Soon, I think.” Wu Liang Ming continued, “He’s experiencing more and more problems, coming to the central region will suit him better. He understood this as well.”
“People in the valley know that up till date, it’s already been a decade or two since he last visited.” Ying Bai Chuan continued, “If it’s not for the assignment of Blood thumb ring, I’m afraid many people will make a fuss out of it.”
“Wait until they see him, then they won’t make a fuss. Instead, they will be happy that your Senior Uncle found such a good disciple.” Liang Wu Ming didn’t put the objections in mind.
Firstly, the blood thumb ring assigned her, secondly, she was gifted, nobody could win her, those guys in Divine Devil Valley wouldn’t be that stupid to push her out.
Sima You Yue followed the team and went to the resting area to scan the participants in this contest. She realised there were quite a lot of new faces and she also found out that Jiang Jun Zhe became the real Jiang Jun Zhe, no more Jiang Jun Xian!
