Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

Sima You Yue sighed, why was it like this!

The Xiao Clan was obviously instigated by the Seventh Prince, just during the period when Xiao Ruo Bai was not at home. And Xiao Ruo Bai obviously didn’t know that they had changed their allegiance.

With her temperament, knowing these things, she would not easily accept it!

“Grandfather, you tell me... the matter of the Duke’s injury has nothing to do with you, right?” Xiao Ruo Bai looked at the Patriarch of the Xiao Clan and saw that he had no intention of denying, with pain in her eyes, she muttered, “Why... ...why...”

“Ruo Bai, don’t ask anything. We did this, naturally we have our reasons.” The Patriarch Xiao said.

“Alright, I won’t ask about this. I only ask you one question. You asked me to go to the Duke Manor to find Xi’er. Did you want me to check the news? You took advantage of me?” Xiao Ruo Bai said with tears in her eyes. “Grandfather once said that he would never use me and would make me carefree Princess of the Xiao Clan. Grandfather, Ruo Bai lost to family interests, right?”

“Ruo Bai...” Seeing that her reaction was so fierce, Patriarch Xiao felt very distressed. After all, he had loved her since she was a child.

She took a step back, her eyes gradually getting colder, “Grandfather, the Seventh Prince is still there, you should talk to the Seventh Prince first. If he blames us, our Xiao Clan can’t afford it.”

“Seventh Prince...” Patriarch Xiao and the others raised their heads, where was the figure of the Seventh Prince?

“Patriarch, the Seventh Prince is gone?”

Patriarch Xiao also found that something was wrong, and the Seventh Prince who was still in front of him just now suddenly disappeared.

“We have entered an illusion array.” He looked around, the surrounding scenery had not changed, but if one looked carefully, one would be able to find that something was wrong here.

“How did we enter the illusion array? Who arranged the illusion array here?” Everyone exclaimed, they came in without realizing it, this illusion array was too powerful!

“It seems that we were fooled.” Patriarch Xiao said, “I just don’t know if this is for us to come out, or whether it is specially arranged for us.”

“Huh? Why are you here?” The Patriarch of the Dong Clan came in with the people of the Dong Clan and was surprised to see the people in the valley.

There was no one there just now!

“There is an illusion array here, we are trapped in the illusion array.” Patriarch Xiao said.

“Illusion array?” The Dong Clan only noticed that the surroundings here looked a bit wrong.

However, they haven’t cracked this array yet, and someone walked in again. Slowly, there were more and more people gathered in Moon Creek Valley.

On the cliff, Mo Zhi looked at the following situation and admired: “This array is far beyond my expectations. Even if it was me, it may not be possible to arrange such an array. She went easy on me.”

“This array is very powerful?” Yuan Yan doesn’t understand arrays, but he knows how powerful the person next to him was, and hearing his unbridled praise, then it meant that this array was really powerful.

“This array is very simple at first glance, but it is larger than the average illusion array. Even with so many people coming in, there is no tendency to collapse. If it were someone else’s illusion array, it would have already collapsed at this time. “Mo Zhi explained, “Moreover, this array is not that simple. There is another mystery inside.”

“What else?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You’ll know if you look down.” Mo Zhi didn’t say clearly, looking at Sima You Yue on the opposite side with interest.

No wonder the Ancestor said that it would not be boring to take this matter, and it was really true. But this girl is so defensive, I’m afraid it won’t be so easy to gain her trust!

“However, it will only be interesting this way, right?” He murmured.

In the valley, those people looked at each other with a dazed expression.

“Who arranged the illusion array?”

“This illusion array has trapped us all here, is it trying to kill us all?”

“This is just an illusion array, just break it. Why worry?”

“Patriarch Xiao, Patriarch Dong, you were the first to come, can you find a way to crack this array?”

“Not yet, we have just arrived not long ago.” Patriarch Dong said.

“Let’s attack together, this illusion array should not be able to withstand so much of our strength.” Patriarch Xiao said.

“That’s right. As long as the spirit power exceeds the endurance of the illusion array, it will naturally be cracked.”

But when they use their spirit power, their complexion changed greatly.

“Why can’t I use any spirit power?”

“Isn’t this also an illusion? Some illusions can also make people lose their spirit power.”

“It shouldn’t be.” The Patriarch Xiao mobilized his spirit power. Although it was a little slow, he was still able to move, “We should have been poisoned.”

“Poisoned?”

“That’s right. It’s poison.” The Patriarch Dong also echoed.

“To actually be poisoned in the illusion, this...” Yuan Yan looked at Sima You Yue with a calm face, without pride or complacency, as if this was not arranged by her at all.

If it weren’t for her to stand in the place where the array was opened, it would be hard for them to believe that she was the one who manipulated everything from behind.

“Xi’er, it’s alright. It’s almost time to come,” Murong Hui said.

“Yes, Father.”

Sima You Yue closed the array, although the surrounding scenery did not change, everyone in the array felt the fluctuation of spirit power. They looked up and saw the four people standing on both sides.

“The Duke?”

Those people were surprised when they saw Murong Hui.

How could it be him?

I heard that he is going to clean up the strength of Vast City recently, was it to kill them all at once?

“The Xiao Clan stays, and the others leave immediately.” Murong Hui said.

As soon as his voice fell, hundreds of guards came out from inside and outside the valley, blocking the front and back roads.

“The others leave, the Xiao Clan stay!” The guards said in unison, and their loud voices echoed in the valley several times before gradually disappearing.

Everyone was stunned as they looked at each other, as query filled their hearts.

The Duke was going to deal with the Xiao Clan? But wasn’t the Xiao Clan his own? Was there a betrayal?

However, doubts turned to doubts, they still quickly exited the valley from the passage left by the guards.

The Xiao Clan also wanted to leave, but the guards were staring at them, making them unable to take any step further.

After the people left, they didn’t go far away, but stopped in a wide area and paid attention to the situation here.

In the valley, Murong Hui and the Patriarch of the Xiao Clan looked at each other. Murong Hui lost the trust of the past, and Patriarch Xiao also lost the respect of the past.

“Patriarch Xiao, has this Duke ever treated you badly?” In the end, Murong Hui spoke first.

“A fine bird chooses a tree to nest in, I am just seeking a better way out for myself. Although the Duke treats me not bad, Vast Region is too bad and unable to give us the way we want.” Patriarch Xiao said, without any regret on his face.

When Sima You Yue heard him, she really wanted to say that he really had the wisdom to know oneself and knew that he was a beast. However, seeing Xiao Ruo Bai beside him, she swallowed these words back.
