Chapter 625 - False Alarm

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

She ran from the outer courts to the inner courts, but not a single person was in sight.

“Grandpa? Grandpa?”

“Aunty Lan?”

“Aunty Yu? Are you guys here?”

She was panicking after running a whole round around the area. She couldn’t find a single person.

Wu La Li grabbed on to her when he saw that she was going to run off against somewhere, saying, “There’s nobody here. You don’t have to keep looking.”

“How could Grandfather and the others not be here?” Sima You Yue called out with worry,”Even if Grandfather went out, Aunty Lan and Aunty Yu usually don’t. I have never even seen the house empty before. Could it be that something happened?”

“Relax. Maybe they just went out for a walk.” Wu La Li said, “Just go search at the places that they might be. Or, you could ask the others to see whether or not they know where they are.”

“You’re right. I’m going to look for my brothers. But they might be in the inner sect. I don’t know if I’ll be able to meet them.” Sima You Yue said, “They might be at Memory Restaurant too, I can go there and ask. Grandfather’s taking charge of that now. If anything happened to them, the Memory Restaurant would know. I’ll go and ask right now.”

Sima You Yue dragged Wu La Li with her as she ran out, and she saw a group of people wandering in the moment she reached the outer courtyard.

“Grandfather?” She immediately stopped running and stared at him.

“You Yue? You’re back!” Fatty Qu came to her and pulled her into a bear hug as he grinned widely.

“Grandfather, Aunty Lan, are you guys okay?” Sima YouYue blinked in confusion and said blankly when she was sure that it was them.

“Why not?” Sima Lie walked over and pulled Fatty Qu away from you, saying, “When did you return?”

“Just. When I came back, I saw that nobody was around and thought that something must have happened. Who would have thought that it was a false alarm.” Sima You Yue siad, “Where did you all go? I’ve never seen you the house empty before.”

“You Ran and the others are on their break today. It’s the first time that everyone could gather in half a year, so we went to feast at the Memory Restaurant. Even Ouyang Fei and Bei Gong Tang came, so Aunty Lan and Aunty Yu naturally came along.” Sima Lie said.

“It’s fine if nothing happened.” Sima You Yue said, “So you’re saying that you’ve all joined the inner sect?”

“That’s right. We were pretty amazing back then. It’s a pity you missed it.” Sima You Le said rather regretfully.

“You Yue, have you settled everything? He…” Sima You Lin saw that Wu La Li had come along with her, so he was rather worried.

“This is?” Sima Lie had never met Wu La Li, so he had no idea that he was the one who had led the way for Sima You Yue.

“Grandfather, let me introduce you. This is my new eldest brother. He is a prince of the Violet Water Clan.” Sima You Yue said, “Big Bro, this is my grandfather, my eldest brother, second brother…”

She introduced everyone in the house as Wu La Li nodded to each of them.

“You Yue, didn’t he take you to treat someone? How did he end up becoming your big bro?” Fatty Qu asked.

“I went to treat his mother, who is also the Queen. Once Mother recovered, she took me as her adopted daughter. That’s why he became my big bro.” Sima You Yue explained, “Let’s not tarry here, we should go to the hall.”

“Okay.”

Sima You Yue told them a summary of all that happened to her in the Violet Water Clan, and they heard that she had actually undergone the lightning tribulations twice and even almost lost her life. They were also extremely shocked when they heard that her strength had grown by leaps and bounds.

“I’ll be heading back first if there’s nothing else.” Wu La Li said.

“Big Bro, won’t you stay for a few days?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Father has begun working since Mother has recovered. Many things that we initially laid to rest should be getting dug up. There are many things to settle in the clan, so I have no choice but to return.” Wu La Li explained.

“Then, Big Bro, please hold on.” Sima You Yue said. Then, she turned to Bei Gong Tang and Ouyang Fei, “Give me all the pills that you have refined for Spirit Beasts.”

Bei Gong Tang and Ouyang Fei guessed that she was going to give them all to Wu La Li to take home, so they took out all the pills they had ever refined for spirit beasts. The pills they had in total amounted to a few hundred bottles.

Sima You Yue gave a rough count before telling Wu La Li, “Big Bro, these pills are similar to the healing ones I gave you before. Take these back. If you need more pills, just send word. Your Lil Sis doesn’t have much of anything else, but of pills I have no lack.”

“You already left us quite a few before you left.” Wu La Li said.

“Ninth Bro told me the last time that quite a few outsiders almost interrupted me during my advancement. It’s a good thing that the array kept them at bay. That area belongs to the Violet Water Clan, and other sea beasts will appear. This proves that someone is sending men out to scout for information about the Violet Water Clan.” Sima You Yue said, “If the Violet Water Clan ends up coming to blows with the other sea beasts, there will be many injured. These pills should tide you through.”

Wu La Li didn’t think that Sima You Yue would be so thoughtful for the clan despite not having asked anything during her stay there. She really cared about the matters of the Violet Water Clan.

“Since this is the case, I won’t hold back.” Wu La Li said.

If they really ended up coming to blows, the pills would be of utmost importance. There were very few pills that were useful for spirit beasts. Very few.

Sima You Yue smiled when she saw that he had accepted the pills, “This pales in comparison to what you have given me. If you need anything in the future, just send word. Just like I said, I don’t have much of anything else, but I have much of the ingredients needed to refine those pills. It’s also very easy for me to do so.”

Wu La Li stretched forth a hand to ruffle her hair, saying tenderly, “Got it. I’ll definitely let you know if we need any more pills.”

“You said it.”

“Yep, I did.” Wu La Li said, “Do you remember how I told you to contact me?”

Sima You Yue nodded, “I do.”

“Alright, I’m heading back.” Wu La Li let his hand fall as he opened a portal back to the Ninth Star Ocean.

Once Wu La Li left, Fatty Qu and the others finally relaxed. They surrounded Sima You Yue and pelted her with questions non stop. Sima You Yue called her Spirit Beasts out, saying, “I promised them that I would cook, so let’s talk over food. Oh, I forgot that you guys have already eaten…”

“No problem, we can eat some more.” Fatty Qu said, “No matter how much food you make, we can eat it all.”

“That’s right.”

“It’s been a long time since we ate your cooking.” Sima Lie joined in.

Sima You Yue saw the way they were acting and laughed, “Alright, let’s go. Let’s have a feast tonight. You guys can also catch me up to speed on what you’ve been doing the past half a year.”

She had gone for seven to eight months, and had grown a lot during this period of time. The others had grown as well; otherwise, they wouldn’t grow as a team. She really wanted to know what the inner sect was like. How did it help them improve so much…
