“That is Young Master Lian Tian’s courtyard, how could that be?” A man taunted.

“We will know when we search, won’t we?” Sima You Yue said. “You Lin, go there.”

“Alright.” Sima You Lin sent his flying beast into the yard. Lian Tian’s face turned pale as he quickly glanced over at his guards. The latter moved quickly to block tehri paths. Sima You yue turned and looked at Lian Jue. Lian Jue gave a wave of his arm, but the guards refused to move.

The flying beast brought the crowd to that courtyard, and flew steadily at the same speed for about ten minutes. At the end of it, only ten more minutes remained.

“You Yue, will Little Lian really be here?” Chou Xiao Tian asked, seeing that there was no movement in the courtyard.

“Trust me. Let’s go in.” Sima You Yue said.”Clan Leader, would you like to come in with us?”

“Of course. Let’s go.” Elder Bai said, his eyes constantly fixed on Scarlet.

“Come, then.” Sima You Yue leaped off the flying beast, bringing along the Black and White Elders, Lian Jue, Lian Yu’s mother and Lian Tian together with her. Lian Yu’s mother’s eyes looked at Lian Tian, perplexed. Her lips twitched, but she said nothing, and she followed Sima You Yue and the rest into the house.

“Young Master.” A few people came out from the house. And seeing the look that they wore on their faces, Lian Tian started to relax.

“There is no Lian Hong here. You’ve lied and claimed that our brother is dead, causing my mother much grief, and now you want to have me caught in a lie as well?” He bellowed in anger.

“There really is no one here.” Lian Jue said.

They were all monks. Although they had not entered every single room, they were aware of what was going on inside the house. Sima You Yue smiled and said nothing, but walked straight into the unassuming house. Entering the building, there really was no one in sight.

“Three more minutes remain.” One of the elders behind reminded them.

Lian Tian’s lips curled into a smile, saying, “And so? Like I said, you guys are a bunch of fraudsters…” But his smile did not last very long, for he noticed a bee on the wall, one that was exactly like the one on Sima You Yue’ shoulder. How could there be bees in this place? She had come after the bees had returned, and the appearance of the bee caused his heart to sink for a moment.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Watching his surprised gaze, Sima You Yue went to that wall, and locked in the position of the bee. Using her strength and stretching out it, the wall started to cave in from the inside, revealing a secret chamber. In the secret chamber lay Lian Hong, unconscious.

“Little Lian!” Chou Xiao Tian ran over and held Lian Hong in his arms. The face was extremely similar to that of his own father’s appeared before everyone’s eyes.

“Yu-er!” Lian Yu’s mother cried out as she ran over, wishing to reach out and touch Lian Hong, but was too afraid to.

Sima You Yue went forward and inspected Lian Hong’s body. She then took out a jade vial and opened its cap, waving it under his nose.

“Ughh—” As Lian Hong took in that terrible scent, he woke slowly. His eyes caught sight of Chou Xiao Tian and he called out weakly, “Master.” Seeing that Lian Hong had awoken, Chou Xiao Tian heaved a sigh of relief. He looked and Lian Jue and said, “Clan Leader, how will you explain this?”

Lian Jue’s expression fell. He looked at Lian Tian, and gave a wave of his hand. Two guards promptly appeared and grabbed hold of Lian Tian.

“Clan Leader?!” Lian Tian cried out.

“Go to the Main Hall.” Lian Jue’s expression darkened. With that, he turned and left the courtyard. The guards dragged Lian Tian away, with the others following behind, leaving Sima You Yue and the rest in the courtyard.

“My child…” Lian Yu’s mother tenderly caressed Lian Hong’s face.

“You are..?” Lian Hong looked suspiciously at his grandmother. He had only just regained consciousness, and was unclear of what had happened the previous night.

“I am your grandmother, Hua Nong Ying” As Lian Yu’s mother looked at that familiar face, she could not help but allow the tears to fall from her eyes like the rain.

“You’re my grandmother?” Lian Hong looked at Hua Nong Ying, astonished. He turned again to look at Chou Xiao Tian and asked, “Master, what is going on?”

At this time, a guard walked over and said, “Second Mistress, Clan Leader requests that you bring them all to the Main Hall.”

“Got it.” Hua Nong Ying wiped the tears from her eyes and said, “I would like to know what is going on too. So let’s all go to the Main Hall.” Sima You Yue looked over at Chou Xiao Tian to gauge his response. She had no opinion on the matter.

“Let’s go.” Chou Xiao Tian said. Looking at the goings-on of the night, they could see that it was not that the Fei family had no care for Lian Hong, but that they just had no idea that he even existed. En route to the Main Hall, Lian Hong was told of what had happened that night, and looked towards Sima You Yue and the rest gratefully. They had also told Hua Nong Ying of what had happened in those years, as well as all the information that had been hidden all this time. As they arrived at the Main Hall, they saw that many people had already gathered there. Lian Hong and Chou Xiao Tian entered the place, but Sima You Yue and the rest were barred from entering.

“Hey Doll, what flame were you using tonight?”

“What kind of bee is your bee?”

“Can I look at your flame again?”

“Can we see the bee again first?”

“No, let’s see the flame.”

“Get lost. I want to see the bee.”

“But that flame is a rare flame!”

“And that bee is a bee that’s almost extinct!”

“The flame first!”

“The bee first!”

“The…”

Sima You Yue looked White and Black Elders, who had suddenly appeared before her and furrowed her brows. She cared not that they were elders of the Lian family and shouted. “You both stop it now!”

Everyone in the Main Hall heard what she said, and stopped. It was only when they realised that she was not speaking to them that they turned back around on continued on in their conversations.

Sima You Yue looked at the two men and said sternly. “When did I ever say that I would let you see my flame or my bee?”

“What?” Elders Black and White looked at Sima You Yue and said, “You’re not going to show us? That can’t be so, Doll, we wouldn’t be able to eat or sleep if we do not get to see it!”

“And what’s that got to do with me? I’m not even from your family.” Sima You Yue folded her arms.

“Why would it have nothing to do with you?” Elder White said. “Those things are yours, and so they are your business!”

“They’re talking about something in there. Let’s go to that side and talk.” Elder Black grabbed Sima You Yue’s shoulders and pulled her along.

Four-Winged Roc wanted to give chase, but Bei Gong Tang said, “You don’t need to give chase. She will be fine.”

Two minutes later. Sima You Yue had been brought out to the courtyard. Elder White followed along. “Come, Doll. Why don’t you tell us what it will take for you to show us your flame and your bee?” Elder Black said in the open.

Sima You Yue laughed. These two old folks were just outrageous.

“Actually, it is not impossible for you to see it. But you have to give me your word on something.”

“What is it?” Elder White asked excitedly.
