Chapter 489 - Rule

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

Could it be that she was planning to get more information out of her after getting her drunk?

Sima You Yue sneered inwardly as she pretended to mutter nonsense intoxicatedly. She muttered, “My house? My house isn’t here. It’s far away!”

“I know. You said that it’s not in central area.” Bei Gong Er said.

“More than the central region. It’s totally not in the outer regions.” Sima You Yue said, “My clan has a rule that we are not allowed to use our clan name to pressure others outside. That’s why we not usually tell others what clan we’re from.”

When Bei Gong Er heard what she said, she was really happy. She had guessed long ago that this person’s background wasn’t a simple one. Otherwise, the Goshawk King would not have brought her here personally. However, she never thought that he was from the central regions.

If she was able to form a good relationship with them, wouldn’t the Bei Gong clan soar? If she became his woman, she would be able to go and live in the central regions!

Thinking about this, she started making plans. She picked up the wine jug and poured another glass full for Sima You Yue, saying, “Young Lord Sima, isn’t this wine great?”

“Not bad, not bad. Its flavour is great.” Sima You Yue said as she drank the wine down in one shot.

Bei Gong Er filled it up again and said bashfully, “Is this wine fine, or am I fine?”

“Urp-”

Sima You Yue went to the side to puke. She was really too disgusting. She almost vomited from disgust.

After she finished puking, she said, “Sorry, the wine here is truly…”

Bei Gong Er’s expression darkened when she saw Sima You Yue vomit. However, since the other party said that it was due to the wine, so that must have been the case. It was a pity that she could not continue drinking after puking. That sour smell was really too disgusting to bear!

“It seems that Little Er has gotten Young Lord Sima too drunk and has troubled you. Why don’t we head back first?”

“Sure, sure.” Sima You Yue stood up unsteadily and stumbled outside.

Bei Gong Er stretched forth a hand and supported her. It was as if she accidentally stumbled, then opened the door and went out.

When they went downstairs, the shopkeeper saw them and said with a smile, ” Young Miss Bei Gong, have you finished eating so quickly?”

“Yup. My friend isn’t good at holding his wine. Call a beast cart for me.” Bei Gong Er said while pointing to Sima You yue.

“Alright. Waiter, prepare a cart for Young Miss Bei Gong.” The shopkeeper looked at Sima You Yue with a loaded gaze, “This Lord is drunk. You should support him properly later on.”

“Alright.” The waiter threw the cleaning rag onto his shoulder before leaving.

Sima You Yue was supported by the waiter as she continued to stumble drunkenly down the stairs. She kept feeling as if the waiter was looking at her strangely. However, thinking about how it was her first time here, it shouldn’t be anything major.

“Young Lord Sima, let me support you outside.” Bei Gong Er said as she stepped forward.

“No need. I can walk with the help of... myself.” Sima You Yue continued to stumble towards the main door and accidentally stumbled into the embrace of a person walking in.

“Sor…” The moment she smelled the person’s scent, she knew that something was wrong. This smell was very familiar. She lifted her head and she ended up seeing a familiar face. “Se- Senior Brother? What are you doing here?”

“I came to give this to you.” Wu Lingyu held on to Sima You Yue and said to Bei Gong Er, “I’ll take him away first.”

After speaking, he didn’t wait for Bei Gong Er to reply before supporting Sima You Yue out. Bei Gong Er wanted to say something, but was immediately ignored.

When the shopkeeper saw Wu Lingyu, he didn’t say anything. He merely lowered his head to prevent Wu Lingyu from noticing his gaze.

On the second level, the private room facing the street opened as a couple sat by the window. The male had a mask on his face and he watched the two people on the street. The woman said, “Is that the Holy Son from the Sage Pavilion, Wu Lingyu? What is he doing here? Could he be here to participate in the auction?”

“No idea. However, since he’s someone from the Sage Pavilion, he could be considered as part of our target.” The male with the mask looked on coldly at the two of them.

“However, nobody is clear on how strong Wu Lingyu’s powers are. It’s said that all who have caused him trouble don’t live to tell the tale. If you fight him, would it be too dangerous?” The female said worriedly.

“My life isn’t long. For every one I kill, a portion of my revenge is fulfilled.”

“You… Sigh…” The female sighed. She looked at Sima You Yue, asking, “He called him Senior Brother earlier on. Who is he? Do we kill him too?”

The male with the mask looked at Sima You Yue’s back. He didn’t know why, but he felt familiar.

Sima You Yue could feel someone’s gaze on her, so she lifted her head and turned back. She made eye contact with the couple immediately.

“Boom-” It was like her heart had suddenly dropped. She looked directly at the male in the mask, and it was as if the surroundings had quieted down, leaving only the two of them.

Seeing that Sima You Yue was looking at him, the male in the mask raised his eyebrows. The mole below his eyebrows raised with it.

Wu Lingyu saw that Sima You Yue was not moving, so he followed her gaze, only to stare directly at the male who was staring at them. His heart started to pound.

He had yet to settle things with her, and now here she was, looking at other guys.

Sima You Yue saw the male in the mask and her eyes turned red. Her lips moved and it was as if she wanted to say something, but her tears started to fall.

“What’s wrong?” Wu Lingyu asked lightly when he saw that Sima You Yue was crying suddenly.

It was only now that Sima You Yue regained her senses. She saw Bei Gong Tang come out from the restaurant, and lifted her hand to wipe her tears away, saying, “Nothing. Let’s go.”

As she turned around, she suddenly heard a familiar voice from her memory, “Big Sis, let’s eat roasted rabbit today!”

“Big Sis, leave quickly. You have to survive. Take revenge for us!”

She closed her eyes, and her tears fell uncontrollably. As she turned the sidewalk, she called out some scarlet bees and got them to fly back.

“That person had a weird gaze when he looked at you.”

The masked man looked at Sima You Yue’s back and he was still thinking about what happened just now.

That gaze… it felt like it was very similar to the one his elder sister used when she looked at it. However, at that time, his elder sister’s gaze was one of tenderness and pampering. It was not filled with pain.

“Are you okay?” The female stretched forth a hand and waved it in front of him, breaking him out of his memory.

“I’m fine.” The male in the mask collected himself, saying, “I don’t know who that person is.”

That person wasn’t his elder sister. His elder sister was already dead. Even if their gaze was the same, it couldn’t possibly be her.

“Isn’t that simple? We just have to get people to find out who he is.” The female took out a paper crane and inserted some spirit energy in, Then, she took out a divine note and put it in. The paper crane then spread its wings and flew away.

Sima You Yue wasn’t in a great mood later on. She was in a daze as she walked. The two of them walked along the street and Wu Lingyu didn’t care about her either as he watched her bump into a tree at the side of the road.

“Ah-”

Sima You Yue came back to her senses with the pain of the bump. It was only then that she saw she was walking on the side of the road. She turned around and heard Wu Lingyu’s laughter. She then turned around and glared at him, only to see him bursting with laughter.
