Bei Gong Ao’s expression changed. He forgot that Sima You Yue was an alchemist as well. He said with an embarrassed smile, “It’s possible that there are people refining in the surrounding courtyards.”
“That’s true. All the branches in this alchemist clan can refine pills.” Sima You Yue smiled as she walked past. She stopped questioning him, which allowed Bei Gong Ao to release a breath he had been holding.
When they reached the place that Sima You Yue had been staying in temporarily, Bei Gong Ao wanted to leave quickly. The statement that Sima You Yue had commented casually had caused his old face to perceive something. He had thought that she had realised something, but was just showing a nonchalant expression.
Sima You Yue watched Bei Gong Ao’s retreating back and thought of the words he said just now. Hatred filled her heart, that was on the same level as the one she felt for Bei Gong Er.
It was truly this kind of person who could produce this kind of daughter!
After entering the courtyard, she looked for Goshawk King and got him to pretend to send a person back alone, as if he was going to head back to take the Buddha Lotus.
The Goshawk King looked pointedly at someone, who then went out. He turned back into his original appearance and flew back. The Bei Gon clansmen saw that there was a goshawk leaving, and felt that he was definitely heading back to retrieve the Buddha Lotus. Thus, they devoted themselves even more into researching how to refine the pill.
Sima You Yue introduced Wu Lingyu to the Goshawk King before finding a chair to sit on and taking a bite out of a spirit fruit.
Goshawk King saw her nonchalant actions and asked, “Did you really give the Bei Gong clan the pill method?”
“I did.” Sima You Yue nodded.
“You could really bear to?”
“I didn’t say I gave them the real one.”
“You gave them a fake one?” Goshawk King looked at her with suspicion, “I was around when you gave them that pill method, and the paper didn’t seem like something from the present. One could tell how ancient it was at a glance.”
“You can fake that appearance.” Sima You Yue said, “But the accuracy of that pill method is about 80-90 percent accurate. Otherwise, how could it entice those old farts? I merely changed it a bit, making the end result completely different. They can only ever stare at the recipe in agony.”
The Goshawk King stared helplessly at Sima You Yue, only saying after a long moment, “They’ve always said that humans were sly. It seems like that’s really true.”
“Wrong.” Sima You Yue stretched out the hand that was holding the spirit fruit and wriggled her fingers. “Not all of them are sly. Some are sly, some are simple. Some are simple sometimes, and sly at others.”
Goshawk king shook his head, “Humans are really complex.”
“You’re right about that.” Sima You Yue took a bite of the spirit fruit, “Compared to the spirit beasts’ who are powerful and pure, humans are truly much more complicated. However, if you spend more time with humans, you’ll realise that humans are pretty interesting as well.”
Goshawk King shook his head. He didn’t take what Sima You Yue said to heart. He just had to interact with her to know that humans were sly creatures. He had abandoned all thought of interacting with humans and planned to take his people back with him once this issue was settled.
Sima You Yue saw the way the Goshawk King was acting, and knew he didn’t have any such plans. However, she had come to ask him for help and, although he had helped her on behalf of Little Roc, it was still a favour. She couldn’t force him.
“Right, when we’re done, don’t head back just yet. Stay for a little while.” She said.
Goshawk King nodded. He had heard Sima You Yue’s analysis before. This situation might end up involving the three great powers of Autumn Moon City. When the time came, he would have to protect them if it came to a battle.
