Chapter 2053: Notify
It was needless to say who those people were. She was just talking about them over here and they came knocking on her door.
Although Fu Xi sounded anxious, Sima You Yue wasn’t in a hurry. She said goodbye to Xi Er Mo and took her time going back.
Back at the inn, those people had indeed been chased away. Some parts of the inn were damaged, Wu Lingyu was talking to the innkeeper about compensation, while Fu Xi was eating walnuts beside Leng Feng and the others.
“How many people came?” She asked Fu Xi.
“A lot, fortunately Brother Lingyu came out at the critical moment, otherwise it would have been quite troublesome.” Fu Xi said.
“Really?” Sima You Yue poked his head, “Surely you didn’t use this as a reason for me to come back?”
Fu Xi smiled wryly, then he pointed at Wu Lingyu and said: “He asked me to do it.”
Wu Lingyu had just finished talking to the innkeeper and gave Fu Xi a cold look when he realised that he had betrayed him. He then came over to Sima You Yue’s side and looked at her up and down.
“Don’t worry, he didn’t do anything.” Sima You Yue didn’t stop him, she even turned around and showed him that there was nothing wrong with her.
Of course, she wasn’t unhappy that he had called her back.
“All said and done?” Wu Lingyu asked.
“Mmm, all done.” Sima You Yue said, “It’s just as my conjecture was.”
“It’s really because of your Mother?” Fu Xi’s eyes widened, “Your Mother knows so many people.”
What Fu Xi had wanted to say was that so many people liked her Mother, but he didn’t think it was an appropriate thing to say, so he changed his statement.
“Yes.” Sima You Yue understood what Fu Xi meant, “No matter what the reason is, it’s a good thing that we managed to save them so easily. We didn’t end up fighting with Xi Er Mo, which was Lan He’s plan. I wonder if he will be jumping up in anger.”
“He’s already jumping. The number of people today is double the amount from the last time!” Fu Xi said.
“Double? Wasn’t it more work fighting them?”
She looked at Wu Lingyu, Wu Lingyu rubbed her hair and said: “It was alright.”
“Xi Er Mo said we should go to see Xu Wu.”
“What do you mean?”
Sima You Yue told him what Xi Er Mo had said to her, that if he knew about her relationship, things would be much easier to handle.
“Lan He probably sent Xu Wu to deal with you when he saw that you didn’t fight with Xi Er Mo. He’s trying to stir things up.” Fu Xi said, “A pity, his calculations are wrong once again!”
Everyone in the room laughed, when they imagined Lan He’s irritated face, it made them happy.
“What we need to do now is to go to see Xu Wu.”
“That’s easy, just turn up at his doorstep. Sometimes, the simplest most direct approach is the best.” Fu Xi suggested.
“Well, I think so too.” Sima You Yue smiled.
“However, we must first avoid any attention before we go…” Wu Lingyu said.
In the middle of the night, Xu Wu, who had been busy all day, was preparing to advance when he suddenly felt a movement. He got up and opened the door and went out. A group of guards poured in from outside, the whole yard was surrounded.
Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu had just come out of the space tunnel and saw this scene.
“Don’t worry, we haven’t come to cause trouble.” She explained.
The others watched her warily, not believing her words.
“If we really wanted to do anything, you wouldn’t have discovered us.” Sima You Yue looked at Wu Lingyu, “I am here to see Honorable Xu about something.”
Xu Wu stood at the door and looked at the two of them. Their attitudes seemed sincere, and with Wu Lingyu’s strength, if they had wanted to come quietly, they would indeed not have been discovered so easily.
He waved his hand and gestured for the guards to stand down.
“Who are you and what are you doing here?”
As soon as Sima You Yue heard this, she knew that he didn’t know about the events that had happened recently.
“My name is Sima You Yue, this is Wu Lingyu. We have come because we have something to tell you.”
“What is it?”
Sima You Yue told him about the incident with Hua Kai, and how his subordinates had gone to capture her and were beaten. She also said: “Although we don’t have the numbers, we can fight if we have to. I came today because there is no need for us to become enemies, nor do I want your subordinates to be used by other people for their own purposes.”
“Who do you mean by someone?”
“The Ghost Concubine and Lan He.”
“The Ghost Concubine? She is the Ghost Queen, what would she possibly want with a young girl like yourself?”
“Because my Grandfather is protecting me. She can’t kill me in front of my Grandfather, so she can only think of other ways and use other people to do it for her.” Sima You Yue shrugged.
“You mean the Ghost King? Whose daughter are you?”
“My Mother’s name is Yu Ke Luo.”
Xu Wu had never met Yu Ke Luo, hence, he didn’t know that the two of them bore a resemblance to each other, nor could he confirm her identity. Even if she had the breath of the royal family, it didn’t necessarily mean that she was someone the Ghost King wanted to protect.
“My Grandfather left a soul imprint on me. If you don’t believe me, I can show you.” Sima You Yue released the Ghost King’s soul imprint. He closed his eyes and his expression was peaceful, if he met with danger his eyes would open and release its power.
When Xu Wu saw the Ghost King’s soul imprint, a flash of nostalgia ran through him.
“I believe you. Since you are the Ghost King’s granddaughter, and I owe him a favour, I won’t make things difficult for you.” If it was someone else who provoked his subordinates, he would teach them a lesson, because that was the rule here.
“I won’t let anyone who goes against us go. Firstly, I came here today to tell you this to show that I’m not provoking you. The second, is to tell you that I won’t let this person off. When the time comes, I hope you won’t mind.” Sima You Yue said.
“You’re free to do so.” Xu Wu didn’t care.
Just as she had said, if his subordinates had colluded with others and tried to drag him into it, he wouldn’t care to have such subordinates anyway. Even if she wasn’t going to take action, he would have done so himself.
“Since you are in agreement, then we shall take our leave.”
From the time they had arrived to the time they left, it was only a few minutes, however, both parties had reached an agreement. She had been given the all clear to do what she wanted to do later.
Not long after Sima You Yue had returned, Di Jiu Jiu brought news. They found some of Lan He’s men here.
“Since we have found them, then let’s take action.” Sima You Yue said, “Bring some men with you to kill them. Since they dare to plot against us, we will show them why flowers are so red!”
“Alright!” Di Jiu Jiu liked this feeling the most, that he had his Master’s protection even though he was doing bad things.
He brought some men with him to kill those people. Knowing that there would be a lot of fun tonight, Fu Xi urged Sima You Yue to watch the fun with him. Sima You Yue couldn’t resist and agreed to take him there. She left Leng Feng and the others at the inn and laid a spirit barrier outside the inn.
Shortly after they had left, the door to Leng Feng and the other’s house was opened…
