Chapter 1315 - The truth of the treasure map

Sima You Yue kept Flowey and Little Dream away. The remains of a few of their dishes lay on the table.

“A perfectly good meal was ruined by them.” Di Wu lamented.

“Weren’t you full by the time those people came?” Sima You Yue said.

He had finished eating all that she had prepared. It was the remaining fruits that he didn’t get to finish.

“Is that thing of yours safe?” Mu Si asked, “I heard that the secret art of the Pang Clan is particularly powerful. That is, after all, your contracted beast. If they find you, you’ll be in trouble.”

“Relax, it’ll be fine.” Sima You Yue said confidently.

If it was just in her contracted space, the trail might still lead to her. However, Flowey was inside the spirit pagoda. That was a different space. Even if the secret art led them there, they would not be able to find her.

Seeing how confident she was, Di Wu and Mu Si relaxed.

Then, they used their spirit skills to wipe out all traces of their aura.

“That’s finally settled.” She said with a smile while patting her hands.

Mu Si looked at her and suddenly came in front of her, kneeling immediately. It gave her and Di Wu a shock.

“Mu Si, what are you doing?”

Mu Si kowtowed to her twice, saying, “Please, save my father! If you’re around, you’ll definitely be able to find him!”

Sima You Yue looked at him. She didn’t think that he would have this request. She didn’t ignore him and took out a chair and sat down, saying, “I have things I need to do. You know this.”

“I know, which is why I do not need you to help me immediately. Once you are done, could you help me find my father?” Mu Si asked.

“Your father has been missing for many years. And you have no leads. How could it be that easy to find a person?” Sima You Yue said, “Also, we’ve only met. Why should I help you? To say it straightforwardly, what benefit do I have to help you?”

“As long as you are willing to help me, I will do anything you ask.” Mu Si said.

“Anything I ask?” Sima You Yue said, “Once I rescue my father, I will leave this place. I may never come back here. What could I ask you to do?”

Mu Si’s face turned red. She was right. He was completely useless to her. This was a realistic world. Who would help him without benefit? Even Yang Zi treated him well because of his own goals,much less should be said for someone he didn’t even know.

However, his instinct told him that if he missed this chance, he would never know when he would be able to find his father.

“If you can find my father, I will follow you out. Although I am not that powerful, I am still young. There will be a day that I become someone useful to you.”

Sima You Yue looked at him, wondering inwardly whether or not she should agree. Although they had not known each other for a long time, she was relatively fond of him and pitied him. They were both lonely people but as she journeyed along, she had many friends and masters with whom they had mutual admiration. However, he had nobody.

Mentioning it now, it was clear that he was a lot more pitiful.

However, if he agreed, she didn’t know what she would end up implicated in.

Mu Si saw that she was still hesitating and he made a firm decision. He took out a black jade letter, saying, “Father left seeking treasure. If you find him, you will be able to find the treasure, and the treasure will be yours.”

Sima You Yue was slightly stunned when she saw the jade letter. It turns out that he had found this item long ago, but he had never told anyone else.

This brat really acted well earlier on.

“Aren’t you afraid by taking this out, that I’ll snatch it from you and do absolutely nothing?”

“You won’t.” Mu Si said confidently, “I trust you.”

Sima You Yue watched him and took the jade letter from his hands, saying, “Don’t you know that there are times you cannot blindly trust another? Furthermore, we’ve known each other for less than a day.”

Mu Si didn’t speak. To say that he trusted her fully was impossible. However, he was betting on it. If he won, he would be able to find his father.

Furthermore, although they didn’t know each other long, his intuition told him that she would help him.

Seeing that he had changed and looked like this, Sima You Yue sighed, “I’ll think about it. You should stand up first.”

Mu Si thought about it for a while before finally standing up.

“Have you seen the item inside?” She toyed with the jade letter. Was there really a treasure map inside?

She was still suspicious.

Mu Si shook his head and siad, “There’s a seal on it. I still can’t open it.”

“Oh?” She used a bit of her consciousness to probe inside, and it really met with a bit of resistance.

This seal was difficult for Mu Si, but it was simple for her.

She used a bit of force and her consciousness went past the restriction.

There was no treasure map inside the jade letter like what Mu Si had said. There was only a silhouette left behind. It must be the consciousness left behind by the father.

Sensing that a person had entered, that consciousness opened its eyes. It saw that the one who entered was not his son, but was an unknown female instead. Its expression changed immediately as he asked, “Where is my child?!”

“Relax, Mu Si is fine.” Sima You Yue said, “He is the one who let me come in. He’s outside right now, you can sense it.”

Mu Si’s father, Lian Jie, sensed for a moment to confirm that his child was fine. Only then did he turn to her and ask, “Why did Mu Si hand this to you.”

“He thought that this was a treasure map and handed this to me as a means of asking me to look for you. However, seeing things now, this isn’t’ a treasure map at all!” Sima You Yue said.

“There is treasure. I just didn’t leave behind any treasure map.” Mu Lian Jie said, “If you can find me, you might be able to find treasure.”

“You didn’t go to look for treasure.” Sima You Yue said confidently, “If you don’t tell me the truth, I won’t promise him anything.”

“The place I am at does contain treasure. It’s just that I did not seek it. I went to save somebody.”

“Save somebody?”

“Yes, I knew a friend. Although we did not know each other long, I swore that if anything ever happened, I would come to his rescue.”

“Who is he?”

“I cannot tell you who he is, but I think that you might be able to guess it. Because you have a similar aura to his.”

Sima You Yue was stunned, saying, “You went to rescue my father?”

“So Sima Liu Xuan is your father.” Mu Lian Jie smiled lightly.

“That’s right. Where is he now?”

“I don’t know where he is either. I only know that he disappeared over at the sunset mountains as well. I have to head over and look for him to know.” Mu Lian Jie said, “Child, I want to entrust something to you.”

“What?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“If I am dead by the time you find me, I wish for you to take Mu Si and leave this place.”

Sima You Yue thought about it for a moment and said, “Okay.”

Mu Lian Jie went back into a deep sleep after receiving her promise. It seemed like this was all he planned to say to her. He had to preserve his energy for when his child entered to give him instructions.
