Chapter 492 - Denying the relations

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

Sima You Yue lowered her eyes and looked at the hand riddled with scars as if that hand was not strangling her right now. As if that person was not holding her life in his hands.

“Who are you?” The man in the mask asked once again, increasing the strength in his hand until Sima You Yue almost couldn’t breathe.

“Ximen Feng…” She spat out his name with difficulty. His aura then turned malicious as he released a malicious aura.

“Who are you? Who sent you! If you don’t speak, I’m going to kill you!”

“Release Yue Yue!” Little Roar saw that he was serious, and was going to break Sima You Yue’s neck, so his tiny legs kicked him.

“Bang-”

The person waved his hand, and Little Roar not only did not manage to hurt him, but was thrown far away, landing fiercely on the sidewalk. A fist-sized hole appeared where he had landed.

“Little Roar!” Sima You Yue saw that Little Roar had been attacked and cried out anxiously. With both hands, she grabbed that person’s hand and, with a flash of her body, she escaped from his grasp when she saw he was distracted.

“Yue Yue… Little Roar…” The man retreated back two steps subconsciously as he looked at Sima You Yue with disbelief.

“Roar-”

Little Roar immediately ran back and roared at the man before charging over.

That man was completely stunned when he saw Little Roar, and forgot to move. Up until he appeared in front of him, where he finally stretched forth a hand to stop him. However, he didn’t fling him away this time.

“You’re definitely not my match as you are right now.” His raspy voice said.

“Whether or not I’m not opponent, I?have to protect Yue Yue!” Little Roar struggled with all his might, but the opponent was too strong. He was completely not his match in the past, and even less now when he was not yet recovered.

“You guys should go.” The man in the mask retracted his aura, and turned to leave after speaking.

“Ximen Feng, you already know who we are. Why do you not acknowledge me?” Sima You Yue cried out.

The man in the mask halted, but he didn’t turn back. He said lightly, “What are you saying? I don’t understand. I don’t know you. Don’t look for me anymore.”

“Whenever you lie, you use your left thumb to rub against your ring finger.” Sima You Yue said, “Even though so many years have passed, you haven’t changed your habit.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The man in the mask froze as he released his ring finger that he had subconsciously been rubbing. He continued to walk forward.

“Big Sister, you have always been the one protecting me. This time, let me protect you. Go on ahead, I’ll wait for you to come back and look for me when you’re better. Big sister, I will always wait for you… you have to live on. I’ll wait for you. In my next life, I’ll still be your younger brother…” Sima You Yue said with tears streaming down her face, “I’m back today. Why do you pretend you don’t know me?”

The face behind the mask was already flooded with tears. He used both hands to loosen, then tighten, then loosen the mask again. However, he still left without looking back.

Sima You Yue watched him leave and closed her eyes in heartbreak.

She was too familiar with him. His little actions had long revealed who he was. But he didn’t acknowledge her. She didn’t acknowledge herself…

“Yue Yue.” Little Roar came back to Sima You yue and squatted beside her.

Sima You Yue stayed where she was for a while, then she turned around and sat on Little Roar, saying, “Let’s go back. You don’t have to go fast. Just head back slowly.”

“Alright.” It was rare for Little Roar to head back quietly. But he brought her back to the inn.

When they had left, a voice carried out from the corner, staring blankly at their silhouettes.

“Big sis, I’m sorry…”

“Since she’s your sister, why do you not acknowledge her?” A voice came from behind him and Ximen Feng turned around. Kong Xiang Yi stood nearby, watching him.

Ximen Feng smiled helplessly, “As I am right now, how can I acknowledge her? If I am going to die soon, wouldn’t it be better that we not meet?”

After speaking, he walked past Kong Xiang Yi, back to the inn.

Kong Xiang Yi saw Ximen Feng’s retreating back as she clenched her hands tightly, “I’ll never let you die. Never!”

When Sima You Yue returned to the inn, the sun had already risen. Everyone had already woken up and were waiting for her. When they saw her enter, and it was clear that she had been crying, they were extremely worried.

“You Yue…”

Sima You Yue waved her hands, hinting at Fatty Qu not to speak; not to ask. Then she turned to Bei Gong Tang, saying, “I’m heading back now. You all wait here for news from me.”

“Alright.” Bei Gong Tang knew that she wasn’t feeling well and nodded. “Are you going alone? Why don’t you get your senior to go with you.”

“Him?” Sima You Yue was stunned, as if she had forgotten him. “I’ll ask if he wants to go or not.”

“She opened the house and Wu Lingyu came out, saying, “I’ll go with you. Let’s go.”

The two of them walked out side by side. In order to save mother Yin Lan, she suppressed the emotions in her heart. When they reached the Bei Gong clan, her emotions had gone back to normal and she was regular Sima again.

“Young Lord Si, please.” The guard had received orders much earlier to let her enter the hall once she had arrived.

When she had arrived, Bei Gong Xiong was speaking with the others from the clan. Once they hear news that Sima You Yue had come with Wu Lingyu, they immediately got their men to bring them over.

Sima You Yue looked at Bei Gong Xiong and asked eagerly, “Elder Bei Gong Xiong, the ingredient has been sent over. When can we begin refinement?”

“Ha ha, I heard Little Er mention that someone came to look for Young Lord Si Yue, so I guessed that he must be one of your clansmen.” Bei Gong Xiong said with a smile, “I’ve already ordered for a few alchemists and got them to wait for you in the pill refinement room.”

Bei Gong Xiong looked at Sima You Yue with a fiery gaze because Bei Gong Er had managed to bring home news about Sima You Yue that lived up to his expectations.

When they knew he was from the central area, the Bei Gong clansmen were all excited, and paid more attention to the refinement of the pill. If it was successful, they might be able to form a connection with the central regions.

“We can’t do it today.” Sima You Yue said, “The Buddha Lotus has yet to arrive. We’ll go and get it today, but it will only arrive tomorrow.”

“Then we’ll wait another day.” Bei Gong Xiong said.

“Alright, let’s set it for tomorrow then.” Sima You Yue said, “I hope to begin in the morning tomorrow, and that you’ll help to tell the masters as well.”

“No problem.” Bei Gong Xiong replied, “Then I’ll send my men to bring you to rest.”

“Alright.”

It happened that Bei Gong Ao was around as well, so Bei Gong Xiong got him to send them to rest.

On the way there, Sima You Yue didn’t say much. When she walked past the abandoned courtyard, Sima You Yue stopped and said, “Is this an abandoned courtyard?”

“It is.”

“The Bei Gong clan actually has an abandoned courtyard like this. Looks?rather incompatible! Why don’t they tear it down and set up something better?”

“This is the place my deceased wife used to live. After she died, I was too upset and did not dare come here. I could not bear to disturb the place she used to live in, so I shelved it aside. I never thought that it would become so run down. Sigh, my heart…”

“Young Master Bei Gong was really loving with your previous wife!” Sima You Yue said ambiguously, “But why do I smell a lingeral smell of herbs?”
