Chapter 1016 - Father’s life jade
“Maybe you don’t need it, but your Father does.” Sima Liu Yun continued, “Your father can only come back after obtaining the Ten Thousand Years Laughing Buddha Fruit.”
“What do you mean?” Sima You Yue frowned.
“Your Father was chased out of the house because of your Mother last time. But he loves the clan a lot, he said before, the clan is his roots.” Sima Liu Feng said.
“What has it got to do with the Ten Thousand Years Laughing Buddha Fruit?”
“Because of your parents, someone of virtue and prestige in the clan was injured. If he doesn’t recover, your Father might not be able to come back. If he recovers and if your Father wants to come back, there’s still a glimpse of hope.”
“What do you mean by ‘if my Father wants to come back’? Where is he now?” Sima You Yue had an ominous presentiment.
Sima Liu Yun hesitated for a while and said, “After your Father brought you away, he never came back, we don’t know where he is too. We looked for him for ten over years, but he was nowhere to be found.”
Indeed….
Sima You Yue’s heart sank and asked, “Is he still alive now?”
“The situation doesn’t look good now.” Sima Liu Yun took out a box and opened it, Sima Liu Xuan’s life jade was lying inside, although it wasn’t completely destroyed, but it was filled with spider webs.
Once Sima You Yue saw that life jade, she felt a sense of closeness, followed by a sharp heartache.
“Father….” She extended her hands to touch the life jade, as it wasn’t completely destroyed, there was still a sense of warm. “When did this happen?”
“A few years ago.” Sima Liu Feng continued, “The clan’s core disciple uses the best jade, it is spiritual. If someone recovers, the cracks will heal on its own.”
“So my Father was injured badly and never recovered, after so many years, he’s the same.” Sima You Yue’s eyes were fogged up, she couldn’t imagine what kind of environment that made a Spirit Master unrecovered for so many years.
“We found out some information, although we haven’t found him, but we already found the trace of him before he went missing.” Sima Liu Feng comforted her.
Sima You Yue raised her eyes and took a glimpse at him, the concerns on his face were genuine.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down and said, “Tell me the information.”
“Can’t.” Sima Liu Yun rejected without hesitation, “Those aren’t the things you can touch on, it’s not too late to know one day if you can come back to the clan or after you grow up.”
“Tell me!” Sima You The stared at him firmly.
“I will tell you some of the things that you can know after you get the Laughing Buddha Fruit.” Sima You Yun continued, “If not, I won’t tell you all those dangerous stuff.”
Sima You Yue watched him and said, ” You will only tell me after I give you the Ten Thousand Years Laughing Buddha Fruit?”
“Yes.”
Sima You Yue made a notion, a fruit that looked like Ten Thousand Years Laughing Buddha appeared in her hand and said, “Now, tell me.”
“….”
Sima Liu Yun was stunned and chose one of the informations to tell her. They ended the conversation after half an hour.
“The things you just told me weren’t really related to my Father.” Sima You Yue was unsatisfied.
“I told you, I won’t let you take the risks before you grow up.” Sima Liu Yun insisted, “I promised him that I will protect his daughter.”
“I will find it out myself.” Sima You Yue continued, “From the information you just gave me.”
“I think you’d better not.” Sima Liu Feng continued, “We have a wider network than you but we still can’t get any information in thirty years. I understand how you feel, but your current mission is to gain more strength, so that when you come back to the clan and when you find your Father, it won’t be too passive.”
“If we find him, we will send someone to inform you.” Sima Liu Yun said.
“How would I trust you?”
“If you are an ordinary person, I might let you continue living your ordinary life. But you aren’t, the things you do, the strength you have, showed that you aren’t. It’s better to tell you than to hide from you.” Sima Liu Yun said.
“Am I supposed to thank you for your compliment?” Sima You Yue humphed.
“You are his daughter.” Although Sima Liu Yun was demanding, he was still satisfied with You Yue. “Your Uncle Liu Feng is right, your mind shouldn’t be set on impossible searches, but to gain your strength. You’re smart, you should understand this reasoning.”
Sima You Yue kept silent for a while, nodded and said, “But I have one condition.”
“What condition?”
“Give me the life jade.”
Sima Liu Yun was silent for a while, then he passed her the box.
“Thank you.” Sima You Yue took it over carefully with her hands slightly trembling.
“Although you gave us the Laughing buddha fruit, your Father will be proud of you if you get good results in the alchemy contest.” Sima Liu Yun said.
“I too hope that I’m their pride.” Sima You Yue said while gently stroked the life jade.
“Until you get stronger, it’s best not to let the clan know about you. We will cover the matters regarding Cloud Sea city for you but you have to be careful outside when you’re alone. Not everyone in the clan wants you back.” Sima Liu Yun continued, “If I send someone to look for you, he will be holding this. Other than that, don’t trust whoever comes to you.”
After talking, he took out a jade pendant and made it into half, he gave her half and kept the other.
Sima You Yue saw how careful he was, she knew the situation would be much more complicated than what she guessed and nodded.
“You’re a good girl, I believe he wants to see you badly.” Sima Liu Yun continued, “Wait for our news.”
“Mm.” Sima You Yue obediently answered. At this moment, there was a sense of attachment from the younger generation to the older generation.
The corner of Sima Liu Yun’s lips curled up into a faint smile, took out a book and said, “If you got time, research about this.”
Sima You Yue flipped to the first page, there was only four big words – Sima Clan
“Is this the clan’s history?”
“Yes. These are all the core’s, you can learn about the clan members and things from there.”
“Okay.”
“If there’s anything, use this to contact me and Liu Feng. Don’t casually look for others.” Sima Liu Yun gave her another box.
Sima You Yue took the box.
Sima Liu Yun extended his arms and stroked her head, Sima You Yue felt that she had another shadow in her memories.
“Uncle Liu Yun?!” Sima You Yue stared at him with her widened eyes.
Sima Liu Yun flew away with Sima Liu Feng without saying anything.
