“You Yue, what are you looking at?” Bei Gong Tang asked Sima You Yue who was staring outside.

“I seem to see someone we are looking for.” Sima You Yue answered.

“Someone we’re looking for? You mean…” Bei Gong Tang glanced outside, not seeing the person they were looking for.

“I don’t know if I am mistaken.” Sima You Yue expressed. “The information given by the sect is that several other people will come here. That person was not in the information given by the sect. I didn’t clearly see the cloak they were wearing.”

“You might be mistaken.” Bei Gong Tang said.

Sima You Yue nodded. “Perhaps.”

They went in and someone immediately came to service them.

“I’m looking for your supervisor.” Sima You Yue took out her token.

The clerk saw the token and spoke more respectfully, “The supervisor is upstairs. Please follow me.”

The three followed the clerk upstairs and came to a room on the farthest side of the third floor. He knocked on the door a few times and said, “Supervisor Liu, Young Master You Yue is here.”

Sima You Yue frowned. The clerk could tell her identity through this token?

Seeing her puzzlement, the clerk said, “Young Master You Yue, the main pavilion had already sent a message to each branch, and now everyone knows you.”

So that was it.

Supervisor Liu heard the clerk and immediately opened his door.

“Supervisor Liu, this is Young Master You Yue.” the clerk handed the token to Supervisor Liu.

Supervisor Liu examined the token. He raised the token above his head with both hands and saluted to Sima You Yue. “Greetings to Young Master You Yue.”

“Supervisor Liu doesn’t need to be polite.” Sima You Yue accepted her token.

“Young Master You Yue, this way please.” Supervisor Liu indicated the way.

Sima You Yue nodded and entered. The clerked was about to leave, when she stopped him.

“Is there something Young Master You Yue?” the clerk asked.

“When I came in, there was a person wearing a cloak. We passed by him at the door. Do you know why he is here?”

“I’m sorry, Young Master You Yue. I didn’t receive him, so I’m not clear. But I can ask other people.” The clerk replied.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you.” Sima You Yue smiled at him.

“It’s no trouble. I’ll check for you.” the clerk retreated.

Sima You Yue sat down in the Supervisor Liu’s room. She looked at the decoration here at will. It was simple but not simple as well. It seemed that Supervisor Liu had good taste.

“I wonder if there’s something that Young Master You Yue is here for?” Supervisor Liu asked professionally.

“Oh, it’s this. We’re planning to take a trip to the Dark Forest. We want to know about the Dark Forest before we enter. Since your branch has not been here for a short time, you should have a better understanding of the situation here.” Sima You Yue replied.

When Supervisor Liu heard this, he subconsciously frowned. “Young Master You Yue is going to the Dark Forest? But why?”

Based on his response, Sima You Yue was baffled and could not help but say, “We have taken a mission of the sect and are going to the Dark Forest to find flamingo eggs.”

“Flamingo?” Supervisor Liu’s brow furled further. His lips moved, but no words.

“It’s alright for Supervisor Liu to speak what’s on your mind.” Sima You Yue said.

“I don’t know if Young Master can forfeit this mission?” Supervisor Liu asked.

“Forfeit? Why?” Sima You Yue asked suspiciously.

“The Dark Forest is divided into several zones. Some which are not so dangerous, and ordinary people can go in. others are very dangerous, where few people leave after entering. The flamingos are in the very dangerous zone.” Supervisor Liu answered. “Moreover, outsiders also ranked the various zones according to the degree of danger, and the zone that the flamingos are located…. is in the top three!”

Sima You Yue didn’t know much about the Dark Forest. She blinked and asked, “How high is the danger index of those top three?”

“Danger index?” Supervisor Liu had never heard of the term, but he generally understood the meaning. He continued on, “Those above monarch rank cannot come and go freely.”

Above Divine Paragon was the Monarch rank. Some of them were not even close to Spirit Overlords. She was only a Spirit Saint. According to their said strength, it was easier to find the flamingo eggs.

Sima You Yue did not understand. Since the flamingo eggs was a mission of the sect, it should not be too difficult. Why was this so difficult?

“Has the zone of the flamingos always been so dangerous?”

“No.” Supervisor Liu answered. “But I don’t know why, recently, the animals in the forest have migrated. The spirit beasts have also changed their living areas. So the zone where the flamingos are in is becoming more dangerous.”

“When did this happen?

“It started two years ago.”

Sima You Yue recalled that Sima You Qi said that this mission was issued almost two years ago. No wonder no one has completed it; the situation has changed.

She started to think about it in her heart. Should she perform this mission? The level of difficulty had increased and the reward had not improved at all! It felt a little unjustified and it wasn’t economical!

She remembered how Supervisor Liu frowned. “You frowned when you heard me mentioning the Dark Forest, but what do you want to say?”

“I just think that the change in the Dark Forest in the past two years is a little strange. I’m afraid you will be in danger after you go in.” Supervisor Liu said.

“This is a little strange. Spirit beasts generally guard their place seriously, and they will not migrate for no reason.” Sima You Yue said.

“Because I haven’t figured out the reasons for this migration. I am even more suspicious of what I don’t know.” Supervisor Liu said. “Moreover, those who try to find out the reason never left the forest. That’s why I’m worry that it would be too dangerous for Young Master You Yue to go.”

Sima You Yue glanced at Bei Gong Tang. Both of them showed a dignified look.

“You Yue, shall we reconsider?”

“Mm, we should go back and discuss it with my brothers before making a decision.” Sima You Yue said, “Supervisor Liu, can you give us the details of the Dark Forest? We’ll take it back to analyze the situation.”

“Okay…”

Half an hour later, he personally sent Sima You Yue and her entourage downstairs.

“Young Master You Yue, if there is anything else, you can come find me again.” Supervisor Liu said.

“We’ll have to trouble Supervisor Liu then.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“How so? These are what we should do.”

Sima You Yue went downstairs. The clerk from before handed a piece of paper to Sima You Yue. “Young Master You Yue, this is what you asked for.”

“Thank you.” Sima You Yue looked at the paper. Her eyes darken. She silently stored the paper away and led Little Seven out Xuan Yuan Pavilion.
