Chapter 562: Sima Ye
Lin Xuan Qi sat in the guest room and waited for Sima Ye to arrive.
He wasn’t sure if Sima Ye would still have the influence to do whatever was required but it was the only thing he could think of right now.
It didn’t take too long for Sima Ye to enter the guest room.
"What brings you here today?" Sima Ye asked and sat down on the chair beside him.
Servant girls poured them a cup of tea and Lin Xuan Qi glanced at them.
Sima Ye noticed it and he waved at the servant girls for them to leave.
After they left, Lin Xuan Qi began to talk about what he had figured out so far.
He started with the injured soldiers and how they had tried to seek justice for the so-called inferior Artifact Armor supplied by the Sima Family.
Sima Ye’s expression went from normal to serious with his eyebrows pulling close together, even his nose and mouth also seemed to have moved closer to each other.
"Here is what they had created at the Formation Array site." Lin Xuan Qi dabbed his finger with the tea and drew the Formation Array that he had memorized earlier.
That got Sima Ye even more worried when he saw it.
"This is the Qing Feng Sect Sword Formation Array... But it’s facing inwards instead of outwards..." He said and shook his head at the Formation Array Lin Xuan Qi had drawn on the tabletop.
"Facing inwards?" Lin Xuan Qi frowned and mumbled to himself when he heard Sima Ye.
So the Qing Feng Sect was planning to use it on the city itself?
Or more precisely, the Sima Family in the city?
He glanced at Sima Ye and Sima Ye came to the same conclusion as him.
But Sima Ye was much more certain that the Qing Feng Sect Sword Formation Array was prepared for the ancestor of the Sima Family, Sima Liang.
Sima Liang was the only one who was preventing them from doing an outright takeover of the Sima Family.
Once Sima Liang was gone, the Sima Family would be no match for the Qing Feng Sect.
He wasn’t sure why the Qing Feng Sect was doing such things and he felt utterly disgusted by it.
Sima Ye clenched his fist and gritted his teeth from the anger rising from within.
The rage even made him ignore the fact that Lin Xuan Qi was able to gather so much information by himself.
Knowing the secrets of Lin Xuan Qi wasn’t as important as trying to save the Sima Family.
Sima Ye glanced at Lin Xuan Qi and said, "I might need your help."
Lin Xuan Qi nodded his head at him.
"Help me figure out what exactly happened with the soldier and the Artifact Armor.
"I will have to talk to the family head and convince him that we need to destroy the Qing Feng Sect Sword Formation Array."
Lin Xuan Qi thought for a moment on how he should go about it and said, "I will try and get it done."
Since his Spiritual Attack earlier in the day had worked, it might be much more effective at night.
And that was what he decided to do.
"Then, I shall not intrude on you anymore." Lin Xuan Qi stood up and bid Sima Ye farewell.
Sima Ye let out a long sigh at him.
He stood up next, cupped his hands at Lin Xuan Qi and said, "Thank you so much for your help."
"No need for such words." Lin Xuan Qi waved his hand at Sima Ye to stop him.
Sima Ye had been like an elder, guiding him along ever since he arrived in Hong Feng City.
He was not used to being treated in this manner by Sima Ye.
But Sima Ye insisted and said, "I wouldn’t know what would happen to the Sima Family without your help."
He had seen how Lin Xuan Qi helped Sima Long with the businesses and brought in much money for him, letting Sima Long’s status in the family be higher than it was.
Apart from that, Lin Xuan Qi had always tried to give him a heads up when anything happened.
And right now, the information he had gathered might have saved the Sima Family from total destruction.
But Lin Xuan Qi didn’t think so much about it.
He only wanted to make sure that his buddy and Sima Ye would be able to survive and thrive in the Sima Family.
They were the ones who gave him a chance when he had nothing.
And for anything drastic to happen in Hong Feng City, it would affect his businesses badly.
The fate of Lin Clan was also tightly bound with the peace and prosperity of Hong Feng City for now, and he had to prevent whatever the Qing Feng Sect wanted from happening.
Just when he was about to leave, Lin Xuan Qi remembered something and he said, "If you feel bad about it, Master Sima Ye.
"You could help me with getting something."
He would need a Natal Spiritual Artifact soon when he got to Core Formation Level and Sima Ye was a much better person to acquire something suitable for him.
"Let me know what you need, I will try my best to get it for you."
"I have a friend who would need an Artifact that could be his Natal Spiritual Artifact, I wonder if you could help me with that." Lin Xuan Qi came up with the good old trusted ’I have a friend’ excuse and said.
"I can help with that." Sima Ye nodded at him and said, "But the Natal Spiritual Artifact must be something that is complementary to the Spirit Root and cultivation techniques of your friend."
Sima Ye had a hunch that it was for Lin Xuan Qi himself but he rather ignored it by now.
Lin Xuan Qi had proven to be a worthy friend and ally of his.
There was no point for him to figure out the secrets that Lin Xuan Qi had.
"Complementary?" Lin Xuan Qi frowned and asked.
