Chapter 296: Trouble comes again

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

Huo Zi Yan saw the way his own sister was acting and sighed secretly. He walked over to Sima You Lin and cupped his fist, saying, “Brother You Lin.”

“Brother Zi Yan? You guys came to the Dragon Reflection Town too?” Sima You Lin stood up and returned the greeting.

Sima You Yue had seen Huo Zi Yan and his sister arrive long ago. However, she didn’t like Huo Zi Jiao, so she didn’t make any acknowledgement.

Huo Zi Yan naturally knew that his own sister had offended them before and knew her position in their hearts, so he didn’t say anything.

“I’m going to fish with Zi Qi and the others.” Sima You Yue walked to Wei Zi Qi and the others as she spoke, took a fishing rod and began to fish.

Huo Zi Jiao was quite unhappy with Sima You Yue’s attitude, but since Sima you Lin was present, she didn’t say anything. She did secretly think that she would have to find an opportunity to get someone to teach her a lesson, though.

“Big Brother You Lin, how long have you been here? What have you been doing the past few days? Do you want to go back to Dragon Reflection Town with us?”

“No need, we will be heading to the Saint City tomorrow. We won’t trouble you.” Sima You Lin rejected.

“You’re leaving tomorrow? Didn’t they say that the Saint City has already activated a great array? Even if you go, you won’t be able to enter!’ Huo Zi Jiao said.

“The city’s great protection array will be turning off soon. However, it’s too late today so we’ll set off early tomorrow.” Sima You Lin said.

“How do you know that the capital’s great array is going to turn off?

Huo Zi Jiao asked with curiosity.

“You Yue said so.”

Huo Zi Jiao pouted, “You just believe anything he says! He hasn’t even seen it.”

Sima You Lin smiled lightly, “Everything You Yue says has been accurate.”

Sima You Yue heard her name being mentioned, but she didn’t even turn her head to look. She just continued to talk to Wei Zi Qi and the others.

“That hateful woman is back!” Fatty Qu said, “Will she scold us for being poor again?”

“I don’t think so.” Wei Zi Qi said.

“I hope not, otherwise, we’d have to sacrifice everything we have again.” Fatty Qu said.

Sima You Yue was amused by what Fatty Qu had said and immediately laughed.

“Hey, you were clearly selling pills, spirit tools and such, but made yourself out to be so poor. Ah, I’ve fished one, it’s a huge guy. Fatty Qu, help me prepare the fishing net!”

It just had to be said that the really were extremely gutsy. They knew that there was something big inside, but they still dared to fish here. They were not afraid of anything happening as a result of their fishing. If it were anybody else, they would have ran without looking back!

When it was around night time, the Saint City turned off the city’s great array and everyone was able to leave and enter the Saint City freely.

It was already past noon when news spread to Dragon mountain, and Huo Zi Yan stared at Sima You Yue with astonishment when he heard the news.

He always felt that Sima You Yue gave him a very incomprehensible feeling.

Everyone on Dragon Mountain released a breath when they knew that the Saint City had opened again. They all became happy because they could go to the Saint City tomorrow!

When night came, Li Mu brought the people from the alchemist guild and came to the lake. When he saw Jade with Sima You Yue and the others, he walked over and a disciple said, “Miss, the Saint City has already opened. We will be going back tomorrow morning, what are you still doing with these people.”

Jade looked at them and her expression was frosty. She said, “Isn’t it still early. What does what I’m doing now have to do with you all?”

“Sister Disciple, everyone is concerned for your safety. How can you treat everyone like this?!” Red Cloud said unhappily. It was clear that she was stressing the relationship Jade had with everyone.

“What have I done to anyone? When did you guys get the right to talk about what I’m doing?” Jade looked at Red Cloud, “Have I treated you guys too well before, that you have forgotten your place?”

“Sister, how can you speak this way? You didn’t use to be like this!” Red Cloud had been lectured, so she looked at Jade with shock.

“You didn’t use to be like this either!” Jade looked pointedly at Li Mu and Wu Feng, as if she was talking about the earlier incident with the competitions.

Sima You Yue squatted on the ground gutting fish, then raised her head to look at them, saying, “What, do you guys plan on sticking around so I can beat you up? Who wants me to beat you up til’ your own mother won’t recognise you?”

Her voice wasn’t loud, but the ones from the alchemist guild subconsciously took a step back.

“Sima You Yue, you won’t be arrogant for long. Once we get to the Saint City, I’ll find someone to deal with you!” Wu Feng glared at Sima You Yue maliciously.

“Still not leaving?” Sima You Yue stood up lazily and looked at the whole group.

“Sister, it’s still best for you to return. If you follow them, you definitely won’t be able to reach the Saint City safely.” Li Mu said.

“You don’t have to worry about that.” Jade said frostily.

Li Mu glanced at her then waved his hand, saying, “Let’s go!”

“Really makes me lose my appetite.” Sima You Yue squatted down and continued to gut her fish. Suddenly, her nose twitched and her eyes shone.

“What’s wrong?” Bei Gong Tang immediately noticed that something was not right and asked.

Sima You Yue snorted coldly, “Someone has gifted us a big gift, should we return it?”

“What happened?” The others heard what Sima You Yue said and wandered over.

Sima You Yue didn’t say anything but merely turned to look at Jade, saying, “Miss Jade, it’s already getting dark. It’s better for you to leave in case anything bad happens.”

“I…”

Jade wanted to say that she wanted to stay because she was afraid that Li Mu and the others would do anything untoward towards them. However, when she saw how Sima You Yue was acting as if she understood, she felt that she was worrying unnecessarily.

“Alright then, I’ll head back first. When you all head to Saint City, it’s best to avoid bumping into the Bei, Yan and Li clans.” She suggested.

After she spoke, she said her goodbyes to Sima You Qing and the others and left.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Sima You Yue turned around and looked at Sima You Lin.

Sima You Lin understood what she meant, so he said to the Huo clan siblings, “Brother Zi Yan, it’s getting late. Why don’t you two head back first. Since we will be heading to Saint City together, we will see each other again tomorrow morning.”

Although Huo Zi Yan didn’t know what was going on, since the other party had already said it this way, he had no choice but to leave with Huo Zi Jiao and head back to Dragon Reflection Town.

When everyone had gone, Fatty Qu asked, “You Yue, what’s up?”

“Guys, smell it. There’s a faint fragrance.” Sima You Yue said.

Fatty Qu and the Sima Clansmen all tried sniffing, but they all shook their heads, saying, “We can’t smell anything.”

“Deceptive Lily Fragrance. It’s indistinct, and you all don’t really deal with pill ingredients, so it’s normal that you can’t smell it.” Sima You Yue said.

“What’s Deceptive Lily Fragrance?”

“It specialises in attracting spirit beasts’… ********, and it’s especially effective for divine beasts.” Sima You Yue said, “We’ll be visited by a lot of spirit beasts here tonight!”

“Then what do we do?” Sima You Qing panicked.

Although they did have divine beasts, if there were too many spirit beasts coming, they would not be able to defeat them.

“What else can we do? We’ll just act accordingly.” Sima You Yue was not worried at all.

“However, we’ve been on guard against Li Mu and the others since they came. We didn’t see them doing anything? How did they scatter the Deceptive Lily Fragrance?”
