Chapter 1228 - A beginning and an end

When they saw the love stone on Sima You Yue’s hand, the little helper sucked in a breath. Yin Lin’s expression changed as well.“You actually have this as well. In this world, having a single drop is precious enough, but you actually have three pieces, each one with two drops. This really is...” The little helper was already so excited that he couldn’t speak.

Sima You Yue saw how excited they were and felt too embarrassed to mention how she had two more.

“How do you have so many love stones?” Yin Lin asked.

“I got all of these at a single location.” Sima You Yue said, “You should know the origins of this, right?”

Yin Lin grasped the love stone tightly in his hand. He closed his eyes and sensed for a moment. After a while, he opened his eyes with a sigh.

“I didn’t think it would actually have come about this way.” He said ruefully. “However, our deal is only for this one. The other two are not within our previous agreement.”

“I’m not here to use the two as an exchange.” Sima You Yue said, “This is my gift for you guys.”

“A gift for us?” The little helper gasped.

“That’s right. You guys said it, right? This isn’t useful or me. On the other hand, it’s extremely useful for you.” Sima You Yue said, “If it remains with me, I’ll merely be able to play around with it. I might as well give it to you.”

Yin Lin watched Sima You Yue and hesitated for a moment. Then, he took the two stones.

“This truly does have a large effect on us, to the extent that I am unable to refuse. However, there should be a beginning and end to everything. He will return the favour.”

“Hehe, so you’re saying that I can expect something from today. However, you don’t actually have to. Back then, if not for your help, my father and I would not be alive today.” Sima You Yue said with a smile.

“It seems like you already know about what happened that year.”

“When I was inside, uncle Liu Feng and the others already told me. That year, when they wanted to kill me and my father, you were the one who saved us. That is why this is my gift of gratitude.” Sima You Yue said, “It’s also like you said just now. There is a beginning and end to everything.”

“If that is so, it would be impolite to refuse.” Yin Lin said with a smile.

“Right, there’s something that I don’t understand. Why did you want me to look for the cleanest water before you were willing to tell me news about my father?” Sima You Yue asked.

“It’s because you had to obtain that piece of news in order to affect the future of this world. You had to pay a fixed price to obtain it.” Yin Lin explained.

“My rescue of my father will affect the future of this world?” Sima You Yue was surprised. That her rescue of the father would affect this world was something a little hard to accept.

“Your rescue of your father might be your personal issue, but it is because the rescue will impact the lives of others. It might only be a small impact in the beginning, but once it reaches the later stages, it might be perilous.”

“I wonder if this has anything to do with the butterfly effect.” Sima You Yue muttered.

“Butterfly effect?”

Sima You Yue blinked. She recalled that this was a saying from her previous life, and there was no such thing here. She explained, “What I mean is something like how a butterfly might be fluttering its wings at the beach, which may only impact the wind around it. However, once this wind continues to blow, it might result in a typhoon somewhere else.”

“Something like that.” Yin Lin said.

Sima You Yue thought about it. That meant it was most likely that it would impact the ghost clan. However, hearing the way Yin Lin said it, it definitely wasn’t anything small!

However, no matter what happened, she wouldn’t be able to stop looking. She would definitely rescue her father!

“The men from heartbreak valley are almost here...” Yin Lin said.

Sima You Yue saw that there were so many people around them and asked rather curiously, “Why did they all get transported here while Third Mo and I appeared in another place?”

Yin Lin looked smilingly at the two of them, saying, “In order to protect the people who got the biggest fortuitous encounters there.”

Sima You Yue raised her eyebrows. She did indeed get a big fortuitous encounter in there. That must mean that Third Mo did as well.

“They’re here so we should leave.” Yin Lin said, “You Yue, when the time comes, I will deliver the news of your father to your doorstep. During this period of time, you need not be anxious. You might as well perfect your previous vacancy.”

Just as he spoke, a unicorn dragging a beast cart flew from the sky, finally landing on a mountain. The little helper supported yin Lin up the beast cart and the unicorn beast led them away.

Only You Yue and Third Mo remained on the mountain. The two exchanged smiles. They had no opportunity to talk about each other.

However, Third Mo knew what was going on with Sima You Yue. However, he didn’t have all the information.

At this moment, Ximen Feng and the others flew in from far away. When they saw Sima You Yue and Third Mo, they hurriedly flew over.

“Big Sis, are you okay? Ximen Feng asked.

“Something’s up. It’s still really serious.” Third Mo said, “Your sister might be a cripple for the rest of her life!”

“Cripple?!” Ximen Feng and everyone else who came cried out.

“Big Sis, what’s wrong with you? How did you end up being a cripple? Do you have any other injuries?” Ximen Feng stepped forwards and pulled Sima You Yue’s hand, wanting to take a look at it.

“Nothing much.” Sima You Yue said, “I don’t have any other injuries. I just can’t use my spirit energy.”

“You can’t use your spirit energy? Why can’t you use it?”

“Boss, did you encounter any situation inside that hurt you?”

“Yeah, Boss. Did something happen?” Those people cried out anxiously.

Sima You Yue saw how worried they were and hurriedly explained, “I’m fine. Yin Lin said that I should recover soon.”

“But it’s possible that you may not for a long time.” Third Mo added on, “If this really is the case, what are you if not a cripple forever?”

“Enough, don’t scare them.” Sima You Yue glared at him, “Since Yin Lin said that I’m fine, it should be fine.”

Although she said that, everyone still looked extremely worried.

“Right, what are you guys doing here?” Sima You Yue asked.

“We received the divinator’s report saying that you were here, so we came to get you.” Ximen Feng said, “Big Sis, are you really okay?”

“I’m fine. We should head back first.” Sima You Yue said, “I’ll explain to you guys in more detail when we’re back.”

“Alright.”

They left the place and found a desolate place before taking out a temporary array and heading back to heartbreak valley.

“Valley Master, Vice Valley Master, you guys are back! Why was this Immortal Land open for so long?”

“Some plot twists happened, so we took a little longer.” Sima You Yue said, “How has the valley been all these years?”

“The valley has been great! Someone else has been waiting for your return!”

“Someone has been waiting for my return?” Sima You Yue was shocked.

“Haha, You Yue, I haven’t seen you in twenty years. You haven’t forgotten me, right!”

When she heard the familiar voice, Sima You Yue didn’t need to guess to know who it was.
