The next time Wu Lingyu appeared, a few days had passed. Sima You Yue was sitting on the rocking chair, talking to Little Roar and cuddling him. Looking at her, it seemed as though she had somewhat recovered to her past state, although her eyes were still filled with a hidden sorrow and anger.
"If you weren't going to appear, I was going to tear down this place." She felt his presence, and spoke to him without even lifting her head.
"Is this place not good enough?" Wu Lingyu walked over.
"It is good. Too good, that's why I want to destroy it." Sima You Yue said. All your precious medical ingredients and treasures, I am envious of them all, so I plan to destroy them all."
"Destroy them then, as long as you're happy." Wu Lingyu said, as if he didn't care.
"How generous of you, Senior Brother." She smiled, although her eyes betrayed her innermost feelings.
"I only have you as my sole Junior Brother, if I'm not generous towards you, to whom should I show generosity?" Wu Lingyu said. "Are you all better now?"
Sima You Yue lowered her head, her eyes cold. Better? How could she possibly be better? She will have to live with this anger and hatred for the rest of her life.
"How long have I been here for?" She raised her head again, gaining control over her emotions. In the past few days, she had been living with all the pain and anger that was bubbling from within her. Usually, when she spaced out, she would numb herself for a couple of days. But since this place had no sunrise or sunset, she could no longer tell how long she had been at that place.
"Not that long, just about ten days?" Wu Lingyu said. Although he wasn't in the little realm, he was already in connection with the place, and he was sensitive to the changes in her feelings and her state of mind. In comparison to the spirit pagoda, this was where there was no difference.
"So it has already been ten days" Sima You Yue caressed Little Roar. "Grandfather and the rest must be worried about me."
"Are you planning to go back now?" Wu Lingyu asked.
"I'll wait and see." Sima You Yue knew that he was worried for her, but she wasn't sure what to say to them when she returned.
"I've found some books for you." Wu Lingyu did not question her decision further, and took out some books for her. "These books are for those of the divine rank. They'll teach you training methods and other things that one needs to take note of."
Sima You Yue received the literature and thanked him, "Thank you." Her in her previous life had never thought that she would see the day where they would be interacting him from such close proximity, or even become his Junior Brother, or become the Young Master of the Divine Devil Valley. She recalled the first time that they had met - He was the high and mighty Holy Son, and she was just the young miss of a family from the lower powers below. At that time, she had already felt that although he looked as pure as a saint on the outside, he wasn't as warm a person as he might have appeared to be.
"What are you thinking about?" Wu Lingyu asked. He saw that she was blanking out while her eyes remained on him, and that she had a funny gaze.
"Nothing." Sima You Yue said, as she changed the topic. "Where is this from?"
"I got it from the valley" Wu Lingyu said. "Since I went back I asked the Old Man about your situation." That's true, he couldn't always have had these books on the fundamentals of training on him. If he wanted to find the books, he would have needed to go to the Sage Pavilion or the Divine Devil Valley. But what he didn't know was that she needed none of those books anymore.
She still received them, and kept them in case Bei Gong Tang needed them in the future.
"What did Master say?"
"He said you have both the light and dark attributes, and that maybe because it goes against the laws of nature, you got struck by lightning." Wu Lingyu said. "But I think I lean towards Senior Uncle's explanation."
"Valley Master? What did he say?" Sima You Yue had always been curious about this Valley Master, whom she had never met.
"Senior Uncle said that those with the Heavenly mandate usually do get hit by lightning, and they will also receive a different treatment from the Heavens that will test them. This bolt of lightning might have been a test." Wu Lingyu said.
