Chapter 1824 - I am not alone

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

Sima You Yue was surprised by the news and murmured: “There is actually such a place.”

“I didn’t know it before. If Mo Zhi hadn’t told me, I didn’t know that the River of Oblivion and Nirvana River were connected together.” Yuan Yan sighed.

“Then Mo Zhi went to the River of Oblivion?” Sima You Yue asked.

“He said something seems to be going on in the two rivers, so he has to go and see.”

“Do you know what’s the matter?” Sima You Yue’s eyes lit up, something happened in that place, it must be something serious!

“Please don’t get interested!” Yuan Yan said, “We can’t participate in things like that. Be careful and or you might even lose your life!”

“I don’t want to participate either, I’m just curious.” Sima You Yue smiled carelessly and shrugged.

“I don’t know what happened to him. He should be back in a few days.”

“Since he has something to do, he doesn’t have to come back.” Although he said that he would come with her when she came to Great Yu City, but it really didn’t make sense to come.

“I told him about the attack you encountered. He is now on his way back.” Yuan Yan said, “I originally thought that I will be the Young Master and be able to do something, but I really just sit there. At this position, I learned more and found myself even weaker.”

“As long as you are strong, you don’t need to care about so many things.” Sima You Yue said.

“I know this too, but it’s not easy to talk about it.” Yuan Yan’s words were a bit bitter, and he didn’t want to talk about it anymore, and asked instead: “You haven’t told me yet, how are you doing here?”

“It’s alright, it’s just that someone is injured. I’m not with them, so it’s alright.” Sima You Yue said.

“I didn’t mean this time. How many times did the Princess Consort work against you? I heard that you killed the Dream Realm Ancestor.” Yuan Yan said.

“You know about it so soon?” Sima You Yue was a little surprised.

It was less than a night ago that she had killed the Dream Realm Ancestor. He actually knew about it, indicating that the strength of the Yuan Clan was more powerful than she had imagined.

“Yuan Clan means that the news comes faster. Merchants, you can survive well if you know the news early.” Yuan Yan said.

“The Princess Consort did send someone to assassinate twice, but...” Sima You Yue shrugged, the meaning was self-evident.

“I used to think that the Princess Consort was so strong because the Prince was cultivated over the years. After becoming the Young Master, I knew that the power behind her should not be underestimated.” Yuan Yan said.

“Ghost Concubine?”

“No, but it’s a member of Ghost Concubine’s faction.” Yuan Yan said, “It’s a powerful subordinate under Ghost Concubine.”

“But Prince of Great Yu doesn’t seem to belong to Ghost Concubine’s faction, right? Then how can the forces behind her have anything to do with Ghost Concubine?”

“The Lu Clan of the Princess Consort of Great Yu is attached to the Zhu Clan. The Zhu Clan was not from Ghost Concubine before, but later betrayed and came under the Ghost Concubine.” Yuan Yan explained, “If it was the beginning, the Prince might have killed the Princess Consort, but now she has become powerful, it is impossible to destroy her. So the two sides are portrayed to be close together.”

“The Prince of Great Yu is really pitiful.” Sima You Yue sighed.

“But it was also because of his poor health that most of the power of the Palace was transferred to the hands of the Princess, otherwise, such an audacious act of acting against your team would not have happened.”

“But I don’t think the above will sit back and watch the Princess Consort of Great Yu continue to grow, right?” Sima You Yue put the brewed tea in front of him, “They don’t care?”

“Over the years, the above struggles have also been constant, coupled with friction with other places, so I don’t have the energy to care about things here. But...” Yuan Yan looked around and set up a small barrier to let the outside listen in.

Sima You Yue watched his behavior curiously, guessing what he was going to say.

“I always feel that things are not like this.” Yuan Yan continued, “The Prince was also shrewd and powerful before, how could he let the Princess Consort gain power? I think the Prince may be planning bigger things.”

Sima You Yue somehow remembered Murong Hui’s stay in the Palace yesterday. Was there really anything?

She thought about this, but the expression on her face remained unchanged, and she continued to listen to him.

“I think the Prince may be waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to completely eradicate the power of the Princess Consort.” Yuan Yan said.

“Then what about your family? Which side are you on here?” Sima You Yue asked.

“This matter is just my guess. If we say that we are going to stand on the side of a team, I think the clan may not go to any and stay neutral.” Yuan Yan sighed, “It was the same previously, so although we did not choose the wrong team in these years, there isn’t the glory of the past as well.”

“Then you are not going to change it?” Sima You Yue raised her eyebrows.

“If I become the Patriarch of the clan, maybe I can still think about it. But now...” Yuan Yan was very helpless in his words. It can be seen that even if he becomes the Patriarch of the clan, he still lives very helplessly.

The two did not continue this topic, and instead talked about other things. Not long after he stayed, his guard walked in from the outside. Although he didn’t speak, the meaning of his eyes was very obvious, and it was time to leave.

Yuan Yan sighed, drank the tea in one gulp, got up and said, “I should go.”

“I’ll send you!” Sima You Yue didn’t hold him, she could see that he was not so free.

After she sent Yuan Yan away, she turned around and entered the inn, and as soon as she arrived in the courtyard, she saw Yu Xi and Lang Yu staring at her.

“What’s the matter?” Seeing that they both looked at her with strange eyes, she looked down at her dress.

Well, it was pretty good, there was nothing wrong with it.

“You went out and was attacked last night.” Lang Yu said.

“That’s right! The way you are looking at me...don’t tell me that the person I killed is one of yours? Are you in the same group as the Princess Consort of Great Yu?”

“What are you thinking about! How could we be with them!” Lang Yu rolled his eyes at her. “We got the news that the Dream Realm Ancestor is dead. We were guessing whether he was killed by you, so it seems that he really was!”

“He came to kill me, of course I would kill him. The way you two are behaving scared me!” Sima You Yue pouted.

The manner in which they looked at her made her think that she had killed one of their own!

“You’re the one that scared us, alright?!” Lang Yu exclaimed, “Do you know who the Dream Realm Ancestor is?”

Sima You Yue blinked, “Who?”

“Even if we meet him suddenly, we may not be able to get out unscathed. You killed him alone, silently! This is a matter of utmost horror, alright?!”

“I wasn’t alone!” Sima You Yue said.

“That’s more like it!” When Lang Yu heard that she went out alone last night, he thought that she killed him on her own. Hearing her words now, he felt much better. “So, who was it?”

Sima You Yue smiled, “My beasts!”
