Chapter 481 - The crime of trespassing into the forbidden area

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

Sima You Yue and the other four left the courtyard as led by the servant girl. They were headed straight for forbidden area number three.

If it were not for the fact that they had gotten Lian Ze to lead them here before, they would not have known even if they were to walk straight into the forbidden area number three.

“Your Palace Lord lives in such a remote area?” Sima You Yue saw that they had already reached the front of forbidden area three, and asked this question intentionally.

There was no trace of fluster on the servant girl’s face as she said, “Our Palace Lord enjoys the quiet, so he lives in rather far away place. There, the mountain valley ahead is where he stays.”

“This place doesn’t have any buildings. Does your Palace Lord live in a cave?” Ouyang Fei said.

“He does.” The servant girl replied.

“Are you sure we didn’t get lost?” Sima You Yue stood there without moving.

“No way!” That servant girl’s eyes flashed with a bit of anxiety but she forcefully kept up a smile, saying, “The Palace Lord is just up ahead. Let us go quickly. Otherwise, the Palace Lord would not be pleased if we delay for too long.”

“That’s true. You are the servant girl of the Innumerable Green Palace. You would definitely know the way. Then, let’s continue walking.” Sima You Yue said.

When the servant girl heard what Sima You Yue said, her expression relaxed, saying, “Alright, let’s go.”

When they came to the barrier in front of the forbidden area, the servant girl took out a name plate.

“What are you doing now?”

“Palace Lord enjoys the quiet, so he has set up this barrier to prevent any outsiders from disturbing him. If one wishes to enter, they have to use this to open the barrier.” The servant girl replied as if it were the truth.

“I see.” Sima You Yue and the others did not expose her, and followed her inside.

When they entered the barrier, the servant girl no longer led the way after walking for a few tens of metres. She said, “The area ahead is the place where our Palace Lord lives. I do not have the right to enter it. Dear guests, please go in by yourselves.”

As she spoke, she wanted to turn around at leave. However, as she turned around, she saw that Sima You Lin and Ouyang Fei were blocking her and looking at her with some kind of meaning.

“Are you Wu Qiao Qiao’s personal servant girl?” Sima You Yue asked with a smile.

The servant girl was shocked. They actually knew who she was?!

“Wu Qiao Qiao was afraid that Xia Zhong would mess this up, so she changed the person in charge of it this morning and got you to lead us into forbidden area three.” Sima You Yue said as she watched the surprise on that servant girl’s face. She was beaming.

“What- what are you guys saying. The Palace Lord is waiting for you guys inside! You better hurry in.” The servant girl continued to display a neutral expression. It was a pity that her eyes reflected her current state of mind.

“It’s enough, we have already entered the place. Why are you still pretending? ” Sima You Yue said, “Do you think that we don’t know this place is forbidden area three? We already came here yesterday.”

“You guys…” Servant Girl looked at Sima You Yue with shock.

They actually knew about this place, so why did they still follow her in?

“Are you wondering why we would come here? You will know soon.” She smiled secretively after speaking.

A few minutes later, Sima You Yue stood outside the barrier while the others others were temporarily left inside.

Furthermore, she currently did not look like her real appearance, but changed into another appearance with fusion with Thousand Resonance. She looked exactly like the servant girl.

After half an hour passed, Xia Zhong came here.

“Greetings to Palace Lord.” The ‘servant girl’ bowed to Xia Zhong.

Xia Zhong saw that the servant girl was the only one in the area, and that the others were inside the barrier. Also, the barrier clearly had traces of a fight.

In the periphery lay a few people. Bei Gong Tang squatted beside them with her back towards Xia Zhong. It looked as if many people were hurt, and she was currently taking care of them.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As for Ouyang Fei and Sima You Lin, he questioned Xia Zhong when he saw him glaring fiercely at them, “Who are you? Why do you want to harm us?”

“Who am I? I am Xia Ying Ying’s father, the Palace Lord of Red River Palace.” Xia Zhogn replied, “My daughter was punished with one year of confinement because of you. As a father, I naturally have to help her get her revenge!”

“Xia Ying Ying’s father?” Sima You Lin snorted coldly, “With an unreasonable person like you who knows no right from wrong, it’s not a surprise that you would raise the same kind of person.”

“It is clear that Xia Ying Ying and the others are the ones at fault, but you want to catch us. We merely taught her a lesson, but you’ve called out your entire Lian Clan and elders! You’ve truly spoilt your daughter!” Ouyang Fei criticised.

“She’s my daughter, of course i have to dote on her.” Xia Zhong said.

“What do you want to do? You want to kill us?” Ouyang Fei asked.

“What I want to do? Actually, nothing much.” Xia Zhong said, “This area is Forbidden Area Three. There are many vicious beasts. If you can remain within there for two days without dying, I will let you off and get you out of there. I’ll just punish you for trespassing on our forbidden lands. The Palace Lord treats you as a guest, and will definitely let you keep your lives. If you die here, then it is just your fate!”

“There are so many vicious beasts inside Forbidden Area Three, but you want us to remain here for two days and even schemed against us, forcing us to become trespassers. As one of the Palace Lords, how could you treat your guests this way? Aren’t you afraid that the men of Innumerable Green City will know and punish you?”

“It’s fine as long as they never know.” Xia Zhong said as if it wasn’t a problem.

“If we survive this, we will definitely tell the Palace Lord the truth.” Sima You Lin said with a cold expression.

“Ha ha ha-” Xia Zhong bellowed with laughter, “Do you think that anyone will believe you? I am a branch Palace Lord of the Innumerable?Green Palace while you are merely guests. Will they believe me or you?”

Soaring Cloud Palace. Lian Ze and Palace Lord have only now come back after a discussion going on the whole night. Thinking about how Sima You Yue and the others must have already awakened, he went over to see them. On the way, he met Chou Xiao Ren and the two of them went to their courtyard.

“Nobody?”

“Where would they go this early in the morning?”

Lian Ze called a palace maid over, but the palace maid did not know where they went.

“Buzz buzz buzz.”

Two bees flew in front of Lian Ze and Chou Xiao Tian.

“These are Sima You Yue’s bees!” Chou Xiao Tian could recognise them at a glance.

“Buzz buzz buzz”

The two scarlet bees flew a few circles around the two of them before flying out the courtyard.

“They’ve flown away. Eh, they’re flying back?”

“They want us to follow them.” Chou Xiao Tian understood what those scarlet mees meant, and brought LIan Ze along with him.

The scarlet bees led them to the path toward forbidden area three. He could see Xia Zhong and Wei Zi Qi and the others there.

“Oh no, they’ve entered the area!” Lian Ze saw where they were and cried out, flying over anxiously.

“Xia Zhong, what are you doing?”

Xia Zhong didn’t think that Lian Zi would come over so quickly. Those vicious beasts had yet to come out!

However, since he was here, they could no longer wait two days. He could only punish them with the crime of trespassing.

“It’s great that you’re here. I’ve captured the four of them trespassing into forbidden area three. It’s said that they are your guests. What do you plan to do with this situation?
