“Had always thought that she was in Yi Lin Continent, never expected that she’s already here. We must find out her situation as soon as possible so that we can help Liu Xuan protect her properly.” Sima Liu Yun said,”As for the Shadow Team, as long as it’s controlled properly, it shouldn’t be a problem.”
“That seems right too.” Sima Liu Feng nodded, “Since that’s the case, then let them go investigate.”
For the next few days, they kept receiving various information regarding Sima You Yue. Each and every deed made them deeply astonished, which kept refreshing their recognition towards her.
On the other hand, Sima You Yue had returned to the guesthouse inn and Little Seven was just by her side, not even daring to gasp out loudly.
She returned to the room and set up a spirit barrier then entering the Spirit Pagoda.
“Grandfather.” She came to Sima Lie’s room as she called out softly.
Sima Lie had already came out of cultivation before she arrived and after his promotion to Divine Rank, he became much younger.
He opened his door and saw Sima You Yue with a ghastly expression as he asked with great concern, “You Yue, what’s the matter?”
“Grandfather, I wish to have a chat with you.”
Sima Li immediately moved sideways and let her walk into the room.
“What happened?”
Sima You Yue sat on the chair and looked at him as she asked, “Grandfather, when my father handed me to you, did he say anything?”
“What did he say…”
Sima Lie recalled that afternoon when he had just returned from the palace and right when he was walking through the main entrance of the mansion, he met the man who previously saved him.
Several decades had passed and he still looked the same. What was different then was that there was a child in his arms and his expression had a deep sorrow added to it.
“Benefactor!” He hurriedly walked over and bowed in respect to Sima Liu Xuan.
“That year you said you’d repay me for the favour in saving your life. Let me ask you today, does your word still count?”
“A gentleman’s promise is worth one thousand in gold.”
“Then let me raise this child, ensuring she grows up.” Sima Liu Xuan passed Sima You Yue over to Sima Lie’s arms.
“She’s..”
“My daughter.” Sima Liu Xuan looked at Sima You Yue’s tiny face reluctantly, “You Yue, she’s called Sima You Yue.”
You Yue? Wasn’t she the same generation as You Ming and the others?
“Rest assured, I will raise her up.”
“Let her wear this properly, remember not to let anyone know that she’s a girl.” Sima Liu Xuan placed a ring into the swaddle cloth as he urged repeatedly.
“When are you coming back to look for her?” Sima Lie asked.
“I don’t know at this point of time, if I’m able to return, I will naturally return..”
That evening, the setting sun was blood red..
Sima You Yue listened to Sima Lie recalling that fateful day as she heard him describing the reluctance towards Sima Liu Xuan once and again.
Perhaps it was because her body and soul had merged for a long time and the two had already become one entity hence she was able to sense the longing from Sima Liu Xuan towards his own child.
