Chapter 475 - Telling them

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

“Why didn’t you go to rest?”

Sima You Yue raised her head and looked at Bei Gong Tang before lowering her head again to continue playing with that cup.

“I came to see you.” Bei Gong Tang walked over and sat down, “What’s up with you today?”

“Nothing much.” Sima You Yue shook her head.

Bei Gong Tang stretched her hand forwards and poked the cup, saying, “Initially, we didn’t plan to ask you. We wanted to wait for you to tell us. However, this situation is going a little too far. The last time, you fell apart after you advanced to the divine rank. Today, you’re suddenly so devastated. It’s hard for us not to ask. Just what is going on with you? If you have something going on, just say it. We’ll share the burden with you.”

“There are some things… you can’t change even if you spoke about it.” Sima You Yue said.

“At that time, I thought the same way. However, what did you tell me? At Pu Luo Mountain Range you told me that no matter what happened in the past or whatever should happen in the future, we would always be together. We were comrades in arms, people who had each other’s backs. If we ever wanted to share our hearts, we would always be here. After living together for so many years and going through so much together, we’ve already become like family. What is there that we cannot say?” Bei Gong Tang said, “No matter what happens, we will always be together.”

Sima You Yue saw how unwavering Bei Gong Tang’s gaze was, and pondered over it for a while. Then, she sighed and said, “The two of you can come in as well.”

Ouyang Fei and Sima You Lin entered. They weren’t embarrassed like one would expect from being caught eavesdropping. Based on her strength, she naturally knew that they were waiting outside.

“I’m guessing that you guys are wondering how I know that Qin Mo is Memory Restaurant’s Master, although I’ve lived my entire life in Yi Lin continent, right?” Sima You Yue asked.

“A little.” Bei Gong Tang said, “But we’re more worried about why you would suddenly radiate such despair.”

Sima You Yue touched the words below the cup, asking, “Do you guys believe in reincarnation?”

Hearing what she said, Sima You Lin and the others all looked at her in shock. They couldn’t speak.

“You’re saying, you…”

Sima You Yue nodded, saying, “As you’ve guessed. In my past life, I was someone from the ancient primordial lands. After someone killed me, my soul entered this body, and I became Sima You Yue.”

“What happened to the original soul?”

“Dead. When she was fourteen, Murong An’s men killed her.” Sima You Yue said, “Before she died, she dragged me into her body and got me to act as her.”

“It was no wonder you were completely different from the rumours when we met you.” Ouyang Fei said.

“In my past life, my soul was injured when I died. That was why I forgot the issues of my past life. When I advanced in rank to the divine rank, my soul was healed and I recovered my memories.” Sima You Yue said, “That time, I was devastated because of this.”

“You died in a very cruel way?”

“It was pretty bad. However, I’m not upset because of my death. But because my… my… my entire clan was annihilated. Each and every single one of my clan members were murdered, and my house was burning in a sea of flames before my eyes. In order to help my younger brother and I escape, my parents were killed. Before they were killed, my mother still told me tenderly that she didn’t blame me. She wanted me to live on. She didn’t want me to seek revenge, but to live happily. For my sake, my younger brother got his spirit beast to fly me away. He ran back alone to stop the guards from chasing me…” Sima You Yue closed her eyes, and her hands covered her face. Her tears fell like raindrops.

Ever since she had recovered her memories, she could not help but sob whenever she thought about it.

Bei Gong Tang and the other two were solemn. They never thought that she would have been through so much. The remorse and sorrow ran deep as she spoke, causing their hearts to ache with hers.

It was no wonder that she cried with such devastation when she had advanced to the divine rank. It was no wonder that she was overwhelmed when she had seen the things in memory restaurant.

“Is this Qin Mo someone that you knew in your past life?” Bei Gong Tangt asked, “Memory Restaurant… Could it be that this restaurant was built in remembrance of you?”

“Qin Mo was one of my very good friends in the past. His talent in cultivation wasn’t that great, but he loved to cook. This was actually how we became friends in the past.” Sima You Yue wiped the tears off her face, saying, “I didn’t think too much when I went to Memory Restaurant today, but those speciality dishes of his were not those I had taught him before. They were those I had made before. Those honey chicken wings were made because I was in a rush for time before, and I merely told him the method. Who would have thought that he would be able to make the dish that tasted the same from my memories. His restaurant didn’t use to go by this name, but I will never mistake the taste of that dish. That was why I guessed who their master was.”

He had once told her that he had dreamed of opening many, many restaurants. Then, she would be able to eat any delicacy she wanted no matter where she went.

Bei Gong Tang held on to Sima You Yue’s hand, saying, “No matter whether or not you have reincarnated, you are still our You Yue.”

Sima You Yue wanted to smile, but could not get rid of the pain in her eyes.

“You Yue, what was your name in the past?”

“Ximen You Yue. It wasn’t a very big clan in central.” Sima You Yue replied.

“Then… who were those who killed you?”

“Zong Zheng clan. They aligned themselves with the Yin Yang Palace. And, that Yin Yang Palace was not a mere second ranked power. They also had power from above.” Sima You Yue clenched her fists, saying, “At that time, the Zong Zheng CLan and men from the Yin Yang Palace were the ones who acted against us.”

“Once we become stronger, we will return for revenge!” Ouyang Fei said.

“Okay.” Sima You Yue nodded.

Since she had chosen to tell them about it, she would not keep it from them. That was because she understood them well. There was no way they would stay out of it.

At this moment, in a mountain in central, a male in a mask was standing facing the wind for a long time.

A female walked out, asking, “Are you really going out?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Yeah.” That male’s voice was hoarse, as if it were not his normal tone.

“But the other party is so strong…”

“No matter how strong, I have to go.” That male said, “I have given so much, all for the sake of letting my enemy taste my blade.”

“Grandfather said that if you chose not to use that portion of strength, you would be able to live for a few tens of years more.”

“If I can kill a few more of my enemies, I would willingly forgo those years. Staying alive is not the meaning of my existence. Revenge is my only request.”

“Then I want to go with you.”

The male shook his head, “It is better for you to remain in the valley.”

“No way. Why don’t you stay? We can think of a way together. Otherwise, take me with you.” The female pulled on his sleeve, appearing rather resolute.

The male continued to shake his head.

“If you dare to head out by yourself, I… I will kill myself here!”

“You know that the other party is strong. I’m going on a suicide mission, why do you still…”

“Because I like you. No matter what you become, I’ll?still like you. If I have to watch you head out there alone, I rather not live.”

“My life will end soon.”

“I don’t care. For every day that you live, I will like you for that day. For every day that I love you, on that day I will follow you. No matter where you go, I will follow after you! I heard that there will be a never before seen auction held by the Xuan Yuan Pavilion in the next month, in the outer regions of Central Area. That person will be there as well. Central Area is so far that they will not know a thing if we go there to kill that person. What do you think?”

The male saw sparkle in her eyes and sighed. He looked at the birds flying in the distance, and did not speak again.
