"Can we not tell a single person?" Someone asked.
"You cannot tell a single person. Not a single one." Qing Yi glanced at Sima You Yue,who kept him away into the spirit pagoda before turning to Sima Liu Feng, "Uncle Liu Yun, Uncle Liu Feng, since there is nothing else, my cousin and I will be leaving."
"Will you not be journeying with us?" Senior Elder asked.
"We wont. I still have something I need to do." Sima You Yue rejected him directly.
"What is that? Could we help?" Senior Elder asked with a smile, "This place is so dangerous and there are so little of you. Its too dangerous."
"How would that do." Sima You Yue said, "This is our personal issue, we couldnt drag you into it."
"What is there to drag in or not, you are part of our Sima Clansmen. Our clan will naturally help to share your burdens." Senior Elder said.
Sima You Yue sneered inwardly. Her, a part of the Sima Clan? Why didnt she know about that!
"Senior Elder, you must be kidding. How could I be a part of the Sima Clan? I merely came from the continent below. How could I dare climb into the ranks of the Sima Clan? Arent you just playing with me?"
"The blood of the Sima Clan flows in your veins, so you are from the Sima Clan." Senior Elder said with confidence, "No matter what happened in the past, the blood that flows in you cannot be changed."
"Is that so? Then why did I hear that some people wanted to kill me?" Sima You Yue said, "If I were a member of this clan, shouldnt we be getting along well?"
"Who dares to kill you? When I return, I will definitely report the matter to the clan leader and throw them all out." Senior Elder said.
"Not right not, but I heard that when I was just a baby, I almost lost my life a few times when I returned to the clan. Senior Elder, did you know about that?" Sima You Yue said.
The smile on Senior Elders face faltered a little and said, "At that time, it happened because the clan was in chaos and whatever some people took the opportunity to do, I am not too certain of. However, I can promise you that this sort of thing will never happen again."
"Lets talk about the future, in the future. Sima You Yue said, "I have some things to do. I will take my leave for now."
"Sigh" Senior Elder wanted to say otherwise, but Sima You Yue had already turned around to leave.
"Senior Elder, You Yues personality is just like this. She bears a grudge for what happened back then, which is why she is like this now. Shell be fine once she joins the clan." Sima Liu Feng said.
"What happened back then Sigh!" Senior Elder sighed, "It isnt easy to talk about this now either. The clan over at that side shouldnt have much of an opinion."
Sima Liu Yu and Sima Liu Feng felt a thread of disdain rise up in their hearts when they heard what he said.
The people at that side would be beyond themselves with joy. How could they possibly have an opinion.
"However, she has truly suffered a lot these few years. It wont be easy for her to accept the clan." Sima Liu Feng said, "When we first found out more news about her, we were rather moved. She has truly been through a lot."
"Have you already found out more news about her?"
"Yes, when we first found out about her, we sent men to investigate." Sima Liu Feng said.
"Oh? Tell us then, about her. The more detail the better. This way, when we go back to the clan, we will be able to convince them more easily." Senior Elder said.
