Chapter 1240 - the out of ordinary Bi Sheng

Inside the beast carriage, Sima You Yue leaned on the soft cushion. Her face showed fatigue.

“You Yue, there was someone looking at you just now.” Bei Gong Tang said.

“Mm, I know. I sensed them.”

“With so many people just now, there are definitely people watching You Yue?”

“It’s not that kind of watch.” Bei Gong Tang explained. “It’s the kind of look with purpose.”

“You all know this?” Xiao Hong looked at them in surprise.

“I felt it.” Sima You Yue replied. “Xiao Hong, what kind of person is Huang Ying Ying? The relationship between you two seems unusual.”

“Humph, it’s just that because Uncle Huang has a good relationship with my family and she knew my identity way earlier. But because she is older than me and not as talented as me, she always tries to find fault with me.” Xiao Hong said.

“Then she didn’t reveal your identity before?”

“What? Others don’t know my background, but they know hers. Doesn’t she feel superior at that?” Xiao Hong said. “But I don’t have time to pay attention to her. The time spent on refining tools is already not enough!”

“Good mentality.”

To fight with someone like Huang Ying Ying was not worth it. The best way to deal with her was to ignore her.

After Sima You Yue said that, she closed her eyes and said nothing more. Bei Gong Tang and Xiao Hong did not speak so she could rest well.

The beast carriage took them to a courtyard. Xiao Hong led them in and the other guards departed.

“I know you like the quietness, so I specially asked them to prepare this courtyard for you. Although it is not very big, it is behind the guild far from the bustle and not far from the guild.” Xiao Hong said.

Everyone followed her in. She saw that although the courtyard was small, it was decorated uniquely. It resembled the Jiangnan from her previous life, which made her love it at first sight.

“The courtyard is exquisite. Does it belong to the guild?”

“Not really.” Xiao Hong answered. “This used to be one of our elder’s courtyard. But she’s longer here anymore. I heard the decoration was based on a person’s preference. I have liked it here since I was a child. Unfortunately, I can’t ask her for whom now.”

Sima You Yue subconsciously noticed Bi Sheng didn’t speak much throughout the journey. She saw he did not look right.

Sure enough, there was something?

“You Yue, I’ll take you to your courtyard first, so you can go rest.” Xiao Hong said. “Bei Gong, your courtyard is the same as You Yue. As for the others, it’s the two small courtyard beside it. In the small courtyard, it’s up to you how to divide. I will take you there now.”

Sima You Yue felt uncomfortable so she didn’t go ask Bi Sheng. She thought she would ask tomorrow. But it wasn’t until the eve of the succession ceremony when he suddenly came out.

Sima You Yue had laid on her bed for two days before fully recovering. But at this time, it was the last day before the ceremony.

On this day, Xiao Hong came to see you early in the morning because yesterday, Xiao Hong had asked her to tour Armament City on the next day.

Although there were other shops in Armament City, most of them sell raw materials for refining. Because numerous people refined tools, these raw materials were quickly consumed.

Fatty Qu couldn’t move his feet when he saw these materials. Fortunately, he had sold a lot of refined tools, which was enough to spend quite a lot. Sima You Yue left Wei Zi Qi’s group aside and went with Bei Gong Tang and Xiao Hong to the teahouse next to it.

“M-miss, why did you come to the teahouse today?” The shopkeeper noticed Xiao Hong and hurried behind the counter to greet.

They knew she was talented, but they didn’t expect her to be the president’s daughter. So they have to serve her well.

“Shopkeeper, can I reserve a private room facing the street?” Xiao Hong asked.

“Oh, I’m really sorry, there have been many people here recently. Not to mention a private room facing the street, even the private room upstairs has been occupied. I didn’t get any news that Miss was coming so I didn’t reserve any rooms. But there are still some places in the lobby.” The shopkeep said apologetically.

“What should we do?” Xiao Hong felt embarrassed. Sima You Yue was her friend and benefactor. She didn’t like crowded places. It would be best to get a private room. But she never did anything arrogant before such as going in and kicking people out.

“Then just the lobby. Anyways, we’re just waiting for Fatty Qu and then. It won’t take long.” SIma You Yue said.

“But...” Xiao Hong felt sorry.

“Miss Xiao Hong, if you don’t disdain me, how about coming to my reservation.” A voice transmitted from upstairs. Xiao Hong was shocked from the voice.

“What’s wrong?”

“This, this is Jun family head’s voice.” Xiao Hong said.

Sima You Yue raised her brows. She remembered that she said that the person was called Jiang Mo Yu. Did he belong to the Jun family?

“The person is here too?” She whispered.

Xiao Hong nodded. “Normally he is wherever the Jun family head is.”

“Do you want to help me check and see that person? Since we are here, why not go up and see.” Sima You Yue said.

The person upstairs didn’t get a response, so he asked again. “Miss Xiao Hong, you don’t want to drink tea with this old man.”

“Uncle Jun’s words is making Xiao Hong ashamed. Since Unce Jun is inviting, Xiao Hong will bring her friends along.” Xiao Hong replied.

She waved her hand, and the shopkeeper stepped aside. Then she led Sima You Yue and Bei Gong Tang up the stairs to the private room.

They knocked on the door and the door opened from inside. A black clothed guard stepped back blankly and let them in before closing the door and stepping aside.

When Sima YouYue passed by him, she frowned.

“Uncle Jun, brother Jun.” Xiao Hong saluted the two of them. Sima You Yue discovered the girl’s voice became softer when she arrived in the private room.

“Greetings to Jun family head.” Sima You Yue and Bei Gong Tang indifferently saluted. They didn not know them, nor were they their elders, so there was no need to do more.

“This is the famous miss You Yue of the continent? Meeting you today, you really deserve your reputation.” Jun family head smiled at Sima You Yue.

“Jun family head is overpraising. You Yue is just a regular junior, undeserving of Jun family head’s praise.” Sima You Yue said with a light smile.

“Don’t just stand. We just made a pot of tea. Let’s try it together.” The Jun family head beckoned.

Sima You Yue’s group of three sat down. Xiao Hong took a sip from the tea and applauded. “Good tea.”

“I didn’t know Miss Xiao Hong could appreciate tea. Since you say it is a good tea, can you tell me what’s good about it?” Jun family head asked.
