“Us? We don’t really do much, we just walk around. The grand meeting is starting soon, so many people have come. The city is packed and bustling with people.”

“You unloyal jerks, while I’m here recovering, the rest of you go out and play!” Sima You Yue lamented.

Bei Gong Tang laughed, she knew that Sima You Yue was just saying that. She didn’t actually take it to heart.

“Oh right, I heard that Ouyang will be arriving tomorrow.”

“Really? Won’t the grand meeting have started by then?”

“There are still three days, I reckon you’ll probably miss it.” said Bei Gong Tang.

“No I won’t.” Sima You Yue said confidently.

She knew the exact condition her own body was in, even though her injuries were serious this time, since her body had the Light-Devil physique, it was able to heal at an amazingly fast rate. Also, along with the pills, there were also her many bottles of soul fluid, so her injuries were healing at an extremely fast rate. She was pretty well by now, but she decided to rest for another two days in order to properly care about her body.

“Oh right, do you know where that jerk Halcyon has taken Rainbow? That punk,I haven’t seen him since I woke up.”

“I heard that he told your master he was bringing Rainbow back to her clan.” said Bei Gong Tang, “But I don’t exactly know where he was bringing her.”

“Back to her clan?” Sima You Yue almost choked, “Where is Rainbow’s clan? They’ve been gone so long and they’re not back yet?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“The Yi Lin Continent doesn’t have the Phoenix clan with them.I think they’ve gone to the upper realms.” Bei Gong Tang guessed, “When I was in the upper realms, I heard that there was a place with the Phoenix clan.”

“They’ve gone to the upper realms…” Sima You Yue viciously took a bite of her chicken drumstick. They all went one by one to the upper realms on their own, damn it, damn it!

On the evening of the second day, someone visited the Sima clan. Being the prince of the south eclipse kingdom and Sima You Yue’s good friend, Ouyang Fei was brought directly to Sima You Yue’s room.

Ouyang Fei couldn’t help but frown when he saw that Sima You Yue lay on the bed listlessly even though she saw him.

“Your injuries are this serious?”

“They’re not that serious, but I want to go out, and they won’t let me and they ran out on their own. You’re the best, you came directly to see me!” Sima You Yue got out of bed and went to the main hall to chat with Ouyang Fei.

“Ouyang Sir, how does it feel like to be royalty?”Sima You Yue smiled as she brewed tea for him.

Seeing her use her powers to boil the water, Ouyang Fei asked “Didn’t you say you couldn’t use your spiritual power?”

“I could use it long ago, but it’d be better to use less of it now. I can still brew tea, though.” Sima You Yue said.

“You! You’re always so uncontrollable!” Ouyang Fei glanced at Sima You Yue disapprovingly, “The moment I came, I heard about your situation. I heard about the Li clan going with the Nalan clan to defeat your clan.”

“That’s expected.” Sima You Yue didn’t appear very affected by the news, the two clans were said to be at loggerheads for the longest time.

“Aside from that, I saw someone else too. This person will definitely shock you.” said Ouyang Fei.

“Who?”

“Nalan Lan.”

“Nalan Lan?” Sima You Yue stared at Ouyang Fei, surprised. “Why would she be here? Are you even sure its her?”

“I’m sure.” Ouyang Fei firmly nodded his head, “Because in the southern Eclipse Kingdom, the distance between the Nalan clan and the outer houses of the South Eclipse Kingdom are not far, I saw her on the way here. I felt that she was really familiar, so I sent someone to check it out. What do you think I found?”

“What I think?” Sima You Yue glanced at him, this punk really undid the knot in his heart. He wasn’t as cold as he used to be and was even speaking this way.

“That person really was Nalan Lan, she came from the Dong Chen Kingdom. So I think that should definitely be Nalan Lan.” Ouyang Fei said.

“Wasn’t she in the Dong Chen Kingdom, why did she come here?” Sima You Yue asked, not being able to understand why Nalan Lan would come.

“I heard that the Nalan clan found her out of nowhere when they were in the Dong Chen Kingdom, and said that her physique was peculiar so they took her back to the Central Wu Kingdom. They also said they successfully activate her physique and now her skills have significantly increased.”

“When was she brought back?” asked Sima You Yue.

“I heard it was three years ago, she was earlier than us by a year.” answered Ouyang Fei.

“That would mean that we were still at the Sofia mountain range, she was already here.” said Sima You Yue, “How is it possible that in the two years, we never heard of her?”

“Because before that she was buried in the snow, and she was only let out recently. Maybe it was because they successfully activated her physique, that she was able to be let out.”

“Pfft——” Ouyang Fei’s reasoning made Sima You Yue laugh.

“I heard she originally wanted to defeat you. The recent contest was when she was going to defeat you, but you didn’t turn up at all.”

“I am only the Sima clan’s adopted son, I have no reason to take part in it.” Sima You Yue said, “Furthermore, I have absolutely zero interest in it. I can’t be bothered to be like a monkey on a stage.”

Ouyang Fei laughed. He understood her character, and he wasn’t surprised at her answer.

Thinking about what Wu Lingyu had said, she continued “This earth is huge, its much bigger than what we imagine it to be, we should know our place and we’re just the tip of the iceberg.”

“This world is huge, but we are young, we still have the chance to explore it.” Ouyang Fei said.

“Yup.”

“Since you’re alright, I’ll head back first, my mother is waiting for me to settle some matters.” said Ouyang Fei. “If there’s anything, just look for me directly.”

“Alright.”

He just arrived today, so there would definitely be much to do. Knowing that she was hurt, he came to visit her and she was already content.

Two days later, the grand meeting had officially begun, the entire city was celebrating?and it took an entire day to prepare for.

Sima You Yue stayed in her room until the celebrations started, and she met the four Lu Ming brothers, and she brought them to watch the celebrations together.

Initially, she thought the grand meeting was just another competition for rankings, but now she realised, this grand meeting was somewhat linked to the competition for ranking , to be specific, this grand meeting was only held once every five years, and this competition for ranking was held only once every twenty years.

As for these meetings, they were actually an opportunity for all the different occupations to come together and measure themselves against each other.

This time, at the end of the celebrations, the Sacred Palace Palace Master said that the arrangements were to be made that the competitions for ranking were to be first, and then it would be followed by the contests for the different occupations.

All the clans reported the number of people in attendance, there wasn’t anyone who stood out in particular, so they just arranged the order of the competition.

Sima You Yue wasn’t interested in these events, so she left on her own even before it even ended.

As she was walking out, she saw a familiar silhouette and both of them stopped.

“It’s been awhile.” Nalan Hong greeted her. Even though she was smiling, it never reached her eyes, and was icy.

Sima You Yue smiled as she said “I didn’t think I’d bump into you here, why are you alone? Where’s your Murong An?”
