: A contest in mental strength
Sima Lie saw that astonishment in Sima You Yue's eyes and knew that she didn't understand. He said, "You Yue, we can't run away for our whole lives. There are some things that we just can't implicate others in.
Sima You Yue took a glance at the destroyed ground below her as well as the ruined city. She saw the innocent citizens and understood a little bit of Sima Lie's actions.
"But Grandfather, if we follow them, will they really give us justice?" Sima You Yue looked at Sima Lin and the others suspiciously. Because of the issue with Sima Kai, she had no trust in the entire clan.
"You Yue, it's only going to be your Brothers and I. You're not coming." Sima Lie said hesitantly.
"Grandfather!" Sima You Yue received a huge shock.
"Every single person from the Sima Clan has to be brought back." Sima Lin said.
"Actually, I didn't want to tell you about this, but there's no way I can keep it from you now. You are actually not a person from my Sima Clan. We were merely taking care of you." Sima Lie said, "Because of this, you don't have to participate in any things involving Sima."
"Grandfather, I knew it long ago. However, you were the ones who raised me up till now, so you are all my family!" Sima You Yue said definitively.
"You, you knew?!" This time, it was Sima Lie's turn to be astonished.
Could it be that Sima You Ming and the others had told her?
"Because a few things happened, so I had a few suspicions before. Later on, I asked Master and he admitted it." Sima You Yue said.
"Since you already know it, then you should not have come here." Sima Lie said as his face turned solemn.
"Grandfather, you were my Grandfather before this, and you will be my Grandfather even in the future. I used to be a member of the Sima Clan, and I always will be. This is a fact that will never change!" Sima You Yue looked at Sima Lie as she expressed her thoughts completely.
Sima Li was extremely moved as he looked at Sima You Yue. He never thought that she was already well aware of her own identity, yet was still unwilling to retreat in the face of danger.
However, he was not able to let her come along with him. The future was filled with too much uncertainties. He looked towards Sima Lin and said, "She's not someone from the Sima Clan, you can't take her back."
Sima Lin glanced at Sima You Yue, but he didn't express any opinion.
"Since this is the case, we'll head down first then. Whether or not we are to bring her will be discussed when we're down." Sima Qing said.
The group of them reached the ground as Sima Lie looked anxiously at Sima You Ming and the others. Seeing that they were fine, he let out a breath.
"You Yue, you have to cultivate properly after we leave. I believe that you will be able to walk out of here not long later." Sima Lie patted Sima You Yue on the back and said, after she got off Little Roar's body.
"Grandfather"
"Are you going to listen to Grandfather's instructions or not?!" Sima Lie stared at Sima You Yue.
"You are an Array Master?" Sima Lin suddenly asked.
"Not counted as one yet." Sima You Yue said.
"Then your Mental Strength is already very strong." Sima Lin said "Since this is the case, I will give you a chance. If you are able to receive three of my hits of Mental Attack, I will let you come with us. If you can't, you cannot go and you cannot stop them from leaving."
"Okay." Sima You Yue immediately agreed.
"This" Sima Lie was quite hesitant and was afraid Sima You yue would get hurt.
"Brother Lie, believe in Eldest Brother." Sima Qing said.
"Come, then." Sima You yue walked off to the side and turned around to face Sima Lin.
At this moment, Sima You Ming and the other three suddenly regained consciousness. Seeing the ruins in front of them, they were unable to react for awhile. They had no idea that this was the place they used to live.
Sima Lin looked at Sima You Yue, saying, "Have you thought it through? If you can't take three of my hits, you will be severely injured."
"I have naturally thought it through." Sima You Yue replied, "Begin."
Sima Lin looked at Sima You Yue and, with a single thought, Sima You Yue felt as if her brain was a pincushion. Her face turned pale immediately.
