“Can’t leave? What do you mean?” Halcyon furrowed his eyebrows, asking solemnly.

“Exactly what I said. We can’t leave. After arriving at the Bright Red Mountain Peak, when we wanted to leave, we were blocked by a strong power. We couldn’t take a single step out of here.” Zhou Lan said, “We realised the situation was dire when we reached this place, and it’s not that we didn’t think of leaving, but that we couldn’t use the teleportation array. We also went to the edge of the boundary, but although the boundary was right in front of us, we couldn’t take a single step.

“This should be the ghost clansmen messing around, right?” Sima You Yue said

“This wasn’t there before.” Blue Blade said, “Didn’t people come and go before? Although we didn’t get all the information, it’s still better to leave. However, we can’t even leave right now.”

“The teleportation array doesn’t work either. If we want to catch those from the ghost realm, we have no idea where to go.’ Sima You Yue said.

“Actually, that may not be the case. The Bright Red Mountain Peak is smaller than other places. You should be able to fly from east to west in about a month.” Blue Blade said.

Sima You Yue blinked in surprise. Was Bright Red Mountain Peak really that small? She wasn’t in Mushui City for long,and didn’t think about how quickly she got here. That was why she didn’t think about this.

“What do you mean about the two sides being against each other, earlier?”

“Once when we were flying, we happened to see both sides attacking each other. They happened to be spirit beasts and evil ghosts. We heard them speaking from afar, and they were saying that they were hunting down humans. That’s how we knew that they weren’t on the same team.”

“Then the ones chasing you are the bad one?’ Little Dream asked.

Blue Blade shook his head, “There aren’t any good or bad sides when we’re talking about the ghost clansmen. In their eyes, all other clans are enemies. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have exterminated all the people in Bright Red Mountain Peak.”

“That’s true.” Sima You Yue thought of how those spirit beats and evil ghosts had attacked her before. In their eyes, all humans were to be killed.

There was one difference, though. The ones controlling the evil ghosts were more evil. They were more cruel, too.

“We’ve already been hunted down by both sides, and lost fellow mates each time.”

“It seems that we have to get rid of both sides if we want to leave this place.” Sima You Yue said. At the same time, she heaved a sigh. She initially just wanted to find a few souls for Mo Sha to strengthen himself, but ended up trapped here.

“Yue Yue, I have a feeling that those evil ghosts are definitely the reason why we can’t leave.” Little Dream said confidently.

“Why?” Zhou Lan saw how confident Little Dream was, and thought that she must be so assured because they knew something.

“Because before we entered Bright Red Mountain Peak, we encountered some ghosts.” Sima You Yue said. “They can head out because of their ghost bodies, which makes the boundary ineffective on them. Naturally, this must be set up to counter the spirit beasts group.”.

“Why are you here alone? It’s too dangerous.” Zhou Lan said.

“I knew that the ghost clansmen were messing around outside, and were already terrorising the outskirts of the city, so how could I stay there and so nothing? I happen to have a way to deal with the ghost clan, so I came.” Sima You Yue was already looking down on herself, not to mention those spirit beasts of hers who were rolling their eyes inside the spirit pagoda.

“Young Lord Sima, you’re so magnanimous. This kind of stature is hard to find in the whole continent!” Blue Blade slapped Sima You Yue on the shoulder as he cried out excitedly, “If we survive, I, Sir Mo, would definitely want to have a drink with Young Lord Sima!”

Sima You Yue secretly pursed her lips. This guy. He was really… stupidly cute! Could he not tell that she had randomly spouted her reason?

“Your friends have been cleaning up for a while, haven’t they?” She felt as if she could no longer continue this conversation with such a thick skin and quickly opted to change the subject.

Her beasts looked down on her again. Even she knew how thick her skin was?!

Sima You Yue secretly returned the glare. She did have a little bit of that idea, but it was just a casual one. If she was really able to let Mo Sha absorb those beasts, she could take care of the situation at the Bright Red Mountain Peak along the way.

Although the root cause wasn’t the same, the result was! There was no need to sweat the small stuff!

Zhou Lan and the others had no idea about the thousands of thoughts that went through her mind, as they smiled in reply, “Them? They’re a little bit of a clean freak here and there. We were just running away earlier, and had no time to clean ourselves up. Now that we have a rare chance to do so, the three of them might end up cleaning themselves for two to three hours.

“That’s just the two of them, not me.” A light voice carried from the back of the courtyard. Sima You Yue could recognise it as the fully bearded man.

“Big Beardy, even if you’re quicker than them, you’re slower than we are. Did you go off to wash your beard? How many times do I have to tell you that you should shave your beard off!” Zhou Lan nagged.

“Hmph, I’m not going to! A man is only charismatic and manly if he has a beard! Don’t you feel that I’m more handsome with my beard?” Big Beardy touched his beard as he said narcissistically.

Sima You Yue noticed that he had pretty and delicate features. His nose bridge was high, his skin was white and his body was long. If he didn’t have a big bushy beard, he might even be a handsome guy.

Big Beardy noticed that Sima You Yue was checking him out as he said, “Don’t you feel like having a beard makes me more handsome?”

“I haven’t seen you without a beard, so I have no point of comparison. However…” sima you Yue saw his clear gaze and answered honestly, “I think that you may look better without a beard.”

“Better without a beard?’ Big Beardy said, “You just don’t know how to appreciate it. This is a name’s charm. With my beard, I’ll look more like a man. For someone like you who doesn’t have a beard, you look so gentle. No male charm at all!”

Sima You Yue felt like there were three black lines in her forehead. How did he drag her into this? Furthermore, his way of appreciating beauty was so different from others!

When he saw Sima You Yue acting this way, Blue Blade explained, “Qi Wei’s appreciation of a person’s beauty or handsome charm is different from the average persons. That’s why, cough cough, don’t take it to heart.”

“I won’t.” Sima You Yue smiled.

“What did you guys talk about just now?” Qi Wei asked curiously.

“Talking about what happened just now.” Zhou Lan said, “We are trapped inside the wolves’ embrace. There are ghost clansmen outside as well hunting us down. There’s no use hiding here. We have to think of a way.”

“No problem. We…”

“Ah-”

A high pitched cry sounded from the back of the courtyard, and Zhou Lan and the others immediately stood up, saying, “That’s Yu Qing’s voice. Go see what’s wrong!”

Zhou Lan and the others quickly headed over. Sima You Yue, Little Dream and Halcyon were not anxious at all as they slowly followed after them.
