It was only after a period of time pa.s.sed before Sima You Yue woke up, her pillow drenched with her tears.
"You Yue, you're awake?" Sima You Lin asked, as he watched her wake up.
Sima You Yue raised her hands to rub her temples with her hand, only to realise that her arms were grasping tightly to Sima You Lin's hand. She released his hands, and noticed that his hands had been bruised by her grasp, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I hurt you."
"It's alright." Sima You Lin said, smiling. "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Sima You Yue sat up and said, "I'm alright now, where is Halcyon?"
"He said he was going to explore, and left." Sima You Lin said.
"Oh. What happened to me?" She rubbed her temples, trying to relieve the pain in her head.
"Don't you know what happened to you?" Sima You Lin asked.
Sima You Yue shook her head, saying, "I only remembering a cry, and I don't remember the rest."
Sima You Lin explained everything that happened to her, and upon hearing that she had roared and pushed back the underground river, her mouth fell open.
"I am this powerful?" she blinked, with an expression of self-admiration.
He wasn't sure why, but when Sima You Lin saw her like this, the knot in his heart undid itself.
"So it was Crimson Flame who saved me." Sima You Yue said, before she suddenly cried out.
"What happened?" Sima You Lin asked nervously.
"I think I remember waking up, and I saw a handsome man, and I even called him Crimson Flame! I thought I was dreaming, but it seems like it really did happen!" Sima You Yue said in shock.
Sima You Lin looked at Sima You Yue irritatedly, because he thought that she had cried out and reacted so greatly in pain or discomfort, but it was just because of this insignificant issue.
After a while, Halcyon returned, with some injuries on his body.
"You're hurt, Halcyon!" Sima You Yue hopped off the bed and asked, looking at Halcyon.
"Just a little." Halcyon said.
Sima You Yue had already rested for quite some time, and so she kept her bed, and walked over to Halcyon and tugged on his shoulder, noticing that there was a ferocious gash on him that stretched from his shoulder to his wrist.
"How did you get hurt?" Sima You Yue asked as she took out a pill for Halcyon to eat. She also took out some of the antiseptic medicine that she had personally made in her spare time to clean his wounds, before applying some medicated powder and wrapping up his wound.
"His Honour said to bring you to meet the oppressed life-being, so I wanted to check out how dangerous the route would be, so I went to take a look." Halcyon said. "But I never thought that I would get injured so early in the journey."
"Crimson Flame wants me to meet that life-being?" Sima You Yue looked at Halcyon, not understanding why Crimson Flame would want her to do such a thing. That life-being had been oppressed for so long that even her Master Teacher had no way to get close to it, yet Crimson Flame wanted her to approach it? Was he not afraid that that life-being would wipe her out in a single blow?
"He said that your going there would bring you some benefit." Halcyon said.
"Alright." She believed that Crimson Flame would not do her any harm. "But you and Master could not go close to it, how could I possibly go there?"
"He said that you only need to move forward, and that will be all." Halcyon pa.s.sed on what Crimson Flame had said.
"Seriously, why couldn't he just tell me himself?" Sima You Yue murmured in dissatisfaction, as she turned to look at Halcyon and Sima You Lin, saying, "This place still feels safer, why don't the both of you wait for me here?"
"No way." Sima You Lin rejected immediately. "It's so dangerous there, how could I let you go yourself?"
Halcyon nodded his head, saying, "And, the moment you leave, this place is no longer safe."
