: An Old Clan Feud
It actually escalated into an Old Clan feud?!
Sima Lie gave Sima You Yue a fright the moment he started speaking.
"Sigh, I never intended for this to be revealed to you all, but if this happens again and I suddenly die, you all won't even know whats happening." Sima Lie sighed.
Sima You Yue saw his unresignation coupled with hesitation and held on to his hand, saying, "Grandfather, we are also the descendents of the Sima Clan. We can also share a part of your burdens, isnt that right?"
Sima Lie patted Sima You Yue's hand. This granddaughter of his really was so mature that she caused ones heart to ache.
"Have you ever thought about it before other clans have so many branches yet it is only the Sima Clan that has us as its single branch?" Sima Lie asked.
Sima You Yue pondered about it; it really did seem to be the case. Other clans really had quite a few branches but it was only their Sima Clan that consisted of only Sima Lie and Sima You Yue and her 4 brothers.
She never thought much about it at first because the clan in her previous life was not really that powerful. However, thinking about it now, it was really too inconsistent with this world. This was a place where a clan was considered as a gang. There werent any others like them who only had a few members.
Unless, they really didnt have any other relatives!
"Grandfather, could it be that the relatives from all our other branches have died?" Sima You Yue asked.
Sima Lie shook his head, saying? " They didnt die. It was actually us who were chased out."
"Chased out?!"
"Thats right, Furthermore, we were exiled into this land of captivity.'
"Land of captivity?" Sima You Yue felt that she had been completely confused by all that Sima Lie was telling her. This was a land of captivity? Were they living inside of a jail?
"Actually, the country of Dong Chen is just a part of Yi Lin continent. You know this, right?" Sima Lie asked.
Sima You Yue nodded her head, this was something she did know.
"Actually, this Dong Chen Country is the land of captivity for the Yi Lin continent." Sima Lie said, "People in this country are those who had been exiled to this place. Those clans who consist of many people are that way because they had been here for a very long time and slowly grew to this state. As for us, its because we havent been here for long that we have not yet grown."
"Grandfather, why do you say that this Dong Chen Country is the land of captivity?" Sima You Yue asked in confusion.
"Because Dong Chen Country is surrounded by steep mountains that are also filled with highly ranked Spirit Beasts. Those areas make it convenient to use to lock up up this area like a jail, making it so these people can only live in this place. If they wanted to go out, im afraid that it would not be long before they perished is the Sofia Mountain Range." Sima Lie said, "Dong Chen Country has very few resources, and is totally different from other places. When compared to other places, this place is like a jail."
"So what youre saying is that we're actually living in a closed off area surrounded by natural geographical barriers." Sima You Yue said.
Sima Lie nodded
"Then, Grandfather, why were we expelled to this place?" Sima You Yue asked.
"Because we were framed." When Sima Lie said this, he could not help by to tremble. "Outside, our Sima Clan is considered a Great Clan, however, because your great grandfather was framed, our branch of people had entered for a brief period of
time before we were framed and expelled from the family. The people that framed us also relentlessly chased us to kill us. There was no choice. He could only take us to escape into the Sofia Mountain Range. But Sofia Mountain Range was fraught with peril, and the group of us entered for a short time before we met with dangers from all sides. Even your great grandfather and great grandmother could not escape. With sheer luck, at the very end, I was the only one left. Actually, i had almost been buried like an animal, but I was lucky to have been rescued by my benefactor, who brought me out of Sofia Mountain Range and into Dong Chen Country.
