Xiao Ruo Bai saw Sima You Yue’s puzzled look. “You really don’t know?”

“Ruo Bai, she is not Xi’er. So it’s normal that she did not know Uncle Hui’s status.” Gongzi Yuan revealed.

“What? You are not Murong Xi?” Xiao Ruo Bai looked at Sima You Yue in surprise. “How is it possible?!”

“I asked Uncle Hui, Xi’er has already....” Speaking of Murong Xi, Gongzi Yuan was sad.

“Was it the last time....” Xiao Ruo Bai’s face did not look well.

Although her relationship with Murong Xi was not good. She was still a life and a familiar person. Suddenly she heard that the person was gone, she felt a bit unspeakable.

“Yes.” Gongzi Yuan nodded.

Xiao Ruo Bai looked at Sima You Yue. “Why are you pretending to be Xi’er?”

“This is not that I want to impersonate.” Sima You Yue said. “My cheap father insisted that I do this.”

“Then who are you? How come you suddenly appeared after Xi’er died?”

“Me? My name is Sima You Yue. I happened to come to Atavistic Orchid Mountain that day and ran into her being pursued. Of course, being a witness of it, I was to be killed too. So I along with her fell down the cliff. Then I was rescued by the cheap father.” Sima You Yue said. “When I woke up, they insisted on treating me as her. I couldn’t help it.”

What she said was half-truth and half false. It sounded like it happened.

“Are you telling the truth?” Xiao Ruo Bai still felt unbelievable about such a coincidence.

“Believe it or not.” Sima You Yue shrugged, not intending to explain too much. “You can ask Gongzi Yuan. When he saw me, he said I was not Murong Xi?”

Xiao Ruo Bai turned to Gongzi Yuan for verification, which he nodded.

“Alright, you haven’t told me what the status of my cheap father!” Sima You Yue urged.

“How much do you know about our area?” Xiao Ruo Bai asked.

Sima You Yue shook her head. So many things had happened when she first came to the Ghost Realm. In order to not be exposed that she was not from the ghost clan, she did not dare to inquire of the situation here.

“What do you know?” Xiao Ruo Bai asked.

“I used to live in the mountains. This is my first time out. So I don’t know anything.” Sima You Yue said.

“....” Now, Gongzi Yuan looked at her sympathetically.

“Then let’s give you a general introduction of the situation here.” Xiao Ruo Bai said. “The Ghost Realm is divided into the Ghost Region, Soul Region and Abyss of Hell. “Do you know this?”

Sima You Yue nodded. She knew this, but it was just recently.

“Do you know who is the ruler of the Ghost Region?”

“Ghost King?”

“That’s right, it is the Ghost King. But you know the Ghost Region is really vast. The Ghost King can’t take care of everyone, so the region is divided into Kingdoms. The Princes of these Kingdoms are all part of the royal family, which they report to the Ghost King regularly. There are Dukes below Princes. The Dukes are people related to the Prince. They may be a relative of the Prince or a powerful subordinate. There are countless cities under the Duke.” Gongzi Yuan explained.

Sima You Yue was clear that this rank was going up.

“Then what is the status of my cheap father?” She felt Murong Hui’s status was not simple. Otherwise, they would not have said that before.

“Duke. He is a Duke.” Xiao Ruo Bai answered.

“My father used to be a Duke?” Sima You Yue was surprised. “Then how did you come here to be a City Lord?”

“Not before. He is also now.” Gongzi Yuan said. “Otherwise, why do you think Xi’er had so many kept men? How would a little City Lord be able to hold so many people?”

Sima You Yue was stunned. Thinking about it, if he was just a City Lord, he might not have that many people. After all, those who robbed couldn’t provoke this little City Lord.

“So what?” Sima You Yue looked at the two of them. “Why did you tell me this? Is it related to coming here?”

“It’s not related. It’s identical.”

“Identical?”

“That’s right. According to the legend, Atavistic Orchid Mountain has a treasure, and the person who obtains it can affect the future of the entire of Ghost Realm. This is the prophecy of unification and three regions. So, naturally, everyone wants this treasure.” Gongzi Yuan said.

“Throughout the ages, many Princes and Dukes have sent people to Atavistic Orchid Mountain to hunt for the treasure. But none of them succeeded.”

“So, my father came to find the treasure, and you as well?” Sima You Yue knew it, and even the two nodded. She continued, “So, you’re not here for competition but for that treasure. If that’s the case, why are you telling me? Isn’t it better for less people to know?”

“This is selling you a favor.” Xiao Ruo Bai replied. “If you don’t know it from us, you will know it from others. As long meet people, this thing can’t be hidden.”

Sima You Yue rubbed her chin and said quietly, “I think whether it is my father or your clan, you have already turn this place upside down right? That’s why you’re so calm when you see other people here. Or maybe, they have been secretly paying attention to this place. If there is an appearance of the treasure, a bloody storm would be set off immediately.”

“Xi’er, did anyone tell you that you are smart?” Gongzi Yuan asked.

They just told her some information, and she had mostly guessed the situation here.

“Yes, people who have seen me say I am very smart.” Sima You Yue said narcissistically.

“....”

“However, there is one thing I don’t understand. If this matter actually happened early on, why are people here recently?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Because some people received news that some there were some strange happenings and that it is very likely the treasure appeared. In fact, the clan has sent someone to investigate in the past few days. There is nothing was found. The entire mountain is the same as before.” Xiao Ruo Bai said.

“When did this happen?”

“Just the two days where Xi’er met with an accident.” Gongzi Yuan thought for a while. “Because it was the time some people were pursuing Xi’er, the clans and City Lord Manor thought it was a ghost skill that the pursuers used and they didn’t take any action.”

Sima You Yue’s heart moved. The two days of Xi’er accident? Wasn’t that when she came to the Ghost Realm and appeared on the Atavistic Orchid Mountain? Did the treasure actually mean her?

She patted her face, telling herself to not be so narcissistic. There was rich soul power here. Maybe there really was a treasure here!

“If there really is, we can fight for it when the time comes. Let’s hurry to the agreed place now. Otherwise, Cao Cheng An that kid would be competing blindly again.”
