Chapter 1945 - News of the old principal

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

Sima You Yue heard what he said and was rather suspicious.

The person who released the lightning? He wasn’t talking about her, was he?

Could it be that it really was like what those people said, that the one he was looking for all this while was her? It couldn’t be, right?

Sima You Yue didn’t yet come back to her senses before the boy suddenly hopped off the back of the lion and ran over to her. He raised his head and looked at her, “Lady, you came over here from that direction. Did you see the person who released the lightning?”

“You’re not afraid of me?” Sima You Yue asked.

He was so wary towards those people earlier, so why did he run over to her so easily?

“It’s not like you’re trying to kill me. Why would I be afraid of you?” The young boy said, “If you tell me where the person who shot the lightning is, I’ll give you some walnuts. How about it?”

After speaking, he took out some walnuts and placed it in front of Sima You Yue.

Sima You Yue saw the walnuts in his hands and it was similar to the ones that she had seen back at the riverside.

She took the walnuts and held them in her hands without eating them as she asked, “I can tell you if you want, but you have to first tell me why you’re looking for her. You caused such a big commotion, was it just to look for her?”

“That’s right!” The young boy nodded, “You took my walnuts so you should hurry and tell me where she is!”

“You haven’t yet told me why you want to look for her!” Sima You Yue said.

“I need her to save a life.” The young boy replied.

“Save a life? Why do you need her to save a life? You’ve never even met her before, how do you know that she can save you?”

“Because…” The boy suddenly reacted and shook his head, “I can’t tell you. Hurry up and tell me where that person is. They’ll be gone soon. It was so difficult for me to think of a way to look for her.”

Sima You Yue saw the way he frowned and knew that he was in a rush, so she stopped teasing him ,saying, “I’m the one who shot the lightning and the one you’re looking for. Can you tell me now?”

“You?” The boy took two steps backwards and examined her from head to toe, “You’re difficult from how others described, are you really the one who shot the lightning?”

Sima You Yue released some of her lightning. They crackled in the palm of her hand, causing the boy to feel incredibly excited.

“Whoa, I finally found you! Sob sob, if I took any longer to find you, I would be dead!” The boy said as he cried. If not because Sima You Yue stopped him, he might have pounced on her already.

Sima You Yue looked at him a little puzzledly. Once he stopped crying, she asked, “Who is the one who told you that I would be able to save you?”

“My second master. He is an extremely powerful divinator.” The young boy said, ” he said that you would be able to save me.”

“Why would I save you?” Sima You Yue hugged Little Purple and asked when she saw that he was so confident.

“Someone said that I just had to show you this and you would agree.” The young boy took out a jade plate and handed it to Sima You Yue.

Sima You Yue was immediately stunned when she saw the jade plate. She took it and examined it closely, “Who gave this to you?”

“The friend by my master’s side. He said that I should show this to you when I saw you. He even wanted me to tell you that he’s safe, but he just cannot return for the time being.” The young boy looked at her with anticipation. “You will save me right?”

Sima You Yue’s tears fell, “Mm, I will.”

“Thank you!” The young boy jumped up happily then took out a few more walnuts and handed it to her, “I’ll treat you to some walnuts.”

Sima You Yue saw that he was so happy and lowered her head to look at the jade plantain her hand as her tears fell.

He said that he was fine, it was just that he couldn’t return for the time being.

It had been so many years and she finally heard news of him again.

“Grandmaster Uncle, if Master and the others knew that you had sent word back, I wonder how happy they would be.” She muttered softly.

This jade plate belonged to the old principal from the Heavenly Sect, Yuan Shao Jie, her Grandmaster Uncle. On it, she could sense the familiar aura, which filled her with countless memories. Ever since he had left with Xu Jin, she had no news from them. She never thought that this strange little boy would find her with this authentication item.

Sima You Yue saw the underworld beasts surrounding them and said, “Since you found me, let these underworld beasts return.”

The young boy quieted down and said, “That’s true. You guys can return.”

“Caw-

“Roar-”

The underworld beasts let out their various cries, as if in reply. Then, they turned around and left.

“Alright!” The young boy clapped his hands and hopped in front of Sima You Yue, “My name is Fu Xi. What is your name?”

“You don’t know my name?”

“I don’t. Second Master never told me. He merely said that he would send me to your world and that you knew how to use lightning and could save me. He never said anything else.” Du Xi said this. He even felt a little aggrieved towards this second master of his, “Second Master just loves pretending to be mysterious. He always speaks in halves. If he had told me who you were, would I have had to go through so much trouble to look for you? He just loves to say things like how the mysteries of heaven are not to be revealed, but it’s all just pretense”

Sima You Yue saw his enraged little expression and laughed when she heard him cursing.

Wasn’t that so? Divinators always enjoyed messing with people using these sorts of phrases. She wondered whether or not they really weren’t able to say it, or that they didn’t know it either.

However, based on the jade plate that the principal had given her, they should have known who she was. They just didn’t want to tell him.

“My name is Sima You Yue. Sima You Yue said, “You’ve been in the Ghost Realm for such a long time. Could it be that you’ve never heard of my name? You didn’t know about my ability to release lightning?”

The young boy shook his head, “I accidentally revealed my ability to control the underworld beasts, then they guessed that I possessed the Mythical Dragon Order, so I’ve been hiding in this mountain for two years. Later on, I thought of a way to draw you to me. I was out of options. If I took any longer to find you, I would have died.”

“Is it that serious?” Sima You Yue looked at him, his complexion was still good. He didn’t look like he was about to die.

“It really is.” Fu Xi said, “Don’t be deceived by how well I look. I might die any day.”

“Let me examine your body first.” Sima You Yue grabbed his wrist and examined him. When she examined it clearly, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes in surprise.

“How old are you?”

“I’m two hundred and fifty this year.” Fu Xi muttered. He really hated these numbers.

“When did you obtain the Mythical Dragon Order?”

“I was around seven years old. Ever since then, my body stopped growing. If not because Master and the others did their best to think of a solution, I might not have been able to live until now.” Fu Xi said sadly, “It’s a good thing that, a few years ago, Second Master suddenly said that he had found a way. Then, he sent me here.”

Sima You Yue had found the issue with his body. If not because they had thought of many many ways, he definitely would not have been able to survive to this day.

“Then, did your Master tell you how you can be saved?”
