Sima You Yue saw that his eyes were brimming with tears, and felt a little strange on the inside. At the same time, she was unable to pinpoint exactly why she felt so strange, and so she just ignored the feeling. However, she still said, "Since you are, after all, my senior brother, I will do my best."
With those words, the knots that were in Wu Lingyu's heart slowly undid themselves. Since he knew that he was not just another person to her, he was able to leave with his mind at peace.
"I've got to go." He said.
Sima You Yue stumbled, looking at him, astonished. "You're leaving? So suddenly?"
"It's not sudden, rather that you've been busy with your arrays and things, so I didn't inform you earlier." Wu Lingyu said. Who knows what that darned old man has been up to in the past two days that he would be relentlessly calling him back. Although he very much wished to remain by her side, his reluctance to leave would be picked up by the old man, and that could create more trouble for her instead.
"Please do not reveal your gender to anyone anymore. Especially not in front of people from the Sage Pavilion."
"Why not? What have you heard?" As Sima You Yue watched his expression, she knew that it wasn't simply because he did not prefer to see her dress as a woman in front of others.
"I'll just tell you now since it no longer matters." Wu Lingyu said. "There has been a prophecy in the Sage Pavilion, that a four-faceted female spirit master will overturn the existence of the Sage Pavilion. So all these years, the Sage Pavilion has been looking for such a woman. And once they find her, the command is to kill her. They would rather kill ten of thousands in error than to let any one slip past them. Many women have been killed this year because of that."
Sima You Yue's heart froze in shock. Could it be that her father had asked her to be in disguise all this while because of that?
"I think your father had asked you to go into disguise precisely because of this. Although you were not up there, the Sage Pavilion is not like anything else. They have subsidiary groups everywhere in the other continents. And regardless of the location, any woman whom they suspect meets the requirements would meet the same fate." Wu Lingyu said. "Thankfully you have already destroyed the Sage Pavilion subsidiary here. If not for that, even if you guys did nothing, I would destroy them myself."
Sima You Yue looked at Wu Lingyu, and knew that everything that he said was true. If she had not destroyed them before she had revealed herself to be a woman he definitely would have gotten rid of this cancerous group himself. Still, not everyone was aware that she was a master of all faculties.
"I got it." She understood the implications of it all. Before she had the ability to fight the Sage Pavilion, she must not revert to her women's dressing. "But how do you know that I am the one that they are looking for?"
"At that time you were too young and did not know how to conceal yourself." Wu Lingyu said. "Although you've never used it, it could not be hidden from me."
"What a stalker." She muttered quietly.
"When you return to the valley, you will no longer need to conceal yourself and you can wear whatever you like. But before you go back there, you must never dress in your women's clothing again, do you understand?"
"Alright, alright. You're really naggy." She whispered the last three words under her breath. This guy really was such a nagger.
