Sima You Yue immediately grabbed Shui Qing Man, who had run over to her, and said with puzzlement, “Mother, what are you doing here?”

“I heard that you were unconscious because of your injuries, so I came over. How are you doing?” Shui Qing Man released Sima You Yue and looked her once over.

“I’m okay, I’m almost completely healed.” Sima You Yue knew that she was checking her out, “Mother, it’s not yet time for you to come and get your medication. How did you find out that I got injured?”

“Because something happened, so I sent some people over to find you. After that, they told me that you were injured when they returned.”

“But what happened to our clan? Did we fight with another clan?” Sima You Yue asked with care.

“Indeed.” Shui Qing Man said.

“You Yue, since they came to visit you, why don’t you head inside the house to continue the talk?” Sima Lie reminded her.

Shui Qing Man smiled at Sima Lie, “You must be You Yue’s grandfather? I am her adopted mother. Based on seniority, I should call you uncle.”

Wu La Xiu and the others who were standing behind them pursed their lips. Why did their mother just pull their statuses down like that?

He came in front of Sima You Yue and said, “What’s going on with you? When the one who reported came back to us, he told us that you were gravely injured, giving us a huge scare. At that time, Mother said that she wanted to come here immediately, but things were too dire back then and we couldn’t make it.”

“It was rather serious back then, but I’m already better now.” Sima You Yue said, “Did you fight with others? If so, then what are you doing here?”

“With father and eldest and second brother around, it will be fine. Anyway, we’re locked in a stalemate so it’ll be fine for us to step out for a moment.” Wu La Er said.

“Eldest Bro and the others said that if it were not for the fact that they were caught up in battle, they would have come to look for you as well.” Wu La Xiu said.

“Let’s go. We can talk inside.” Sima You Yue spoke as she held on to Shui Qing Man’s arm and led her inside the house. She introduced them along the way.

“Child, tell me what happened back then. Who hurt you? I’ll get your brothers to take revenge on your behalf!” Shui Qing Man asked as she patted Sima You Yue’s hand.

“Mother, n.o.body hurt me. I was merely careless and entered a chaotic world.” Sima You Yue said a little sheepishly.

“How did you end up entering the chaotic world? Don’t mess with me. I want to know every single thing.”

“How do I explain this? Back then, when I was making a deal with Eldest Bro, I wanted the Black Sea cuc.u.mber because I wanted to use it to heal my younger brother. You know this, too.” Sima You Yue said.

“Yes, I’ve heard your eldest brother mention it.” Shui Qing Man said, “What does this have to do with your injuries?”

“It didn’t at first.” Sima You Yue continued to explain, “Dear Feng happened to end up in a wrong place and a strange power entered his body, which I sealed away later on. In the past, I was collecting medicinal ingredients because I wanted to exterminate that power in his body.

“Since it’s been sealed away, it shouldn’t be difficult to deal with it. How did it cause you to fall in such a dangerous situation?”

“It wasn’t dangerous in the beginning.” Sima You Yue said, “However, someone surrounded us. At that moment, things were dire and so he forcefully broke the seal, releasing that power. The situation then turned extremely dangerous. At that time, I exhausted my mental energy to save him, so I accidentally entered the chaotic world.”

“You really… sigh. There must be a limit to rescuing people. How could you throw yourself into the fire?” Shui Qing Man said. Her accusatory gaze caused Sima You Yue to retreat immediately.

“Yes yes yes, I’ll take note in the future.”

“It’s all because of those people who surrounded Dear Fear. If it were not for them, it wouldn’t have gotten so complicated.” Wu La Xiu spat angrily.

“Exactly.” Wu La Er agreed, “Do you know who those people are?”

“Dear Feng has already gone to check it out, so there’s no need for us to do anything.” Sima You Yue said, “what’s going on with the people that you told me about earlier? The ones you’re fighting with?”

“Isn’t it none other than the d.a.m.ned eel clan. In the past, when we were rus.h.i.+ng about trying to save mother, all the clans remained low key, but that eel clan dared to forget who the boss of the place was!” Wu La Xiu said.

“So you guys fought because of this?”

“Hmph, when we sent you off, we caught a few d.a.m.ned eels. They actually dared sent scouts to check out the situation. The previous time when you were advancing in rank, we already caught a few of them. Now that they’re back again, father is enraged and brought a few people with him to have a talk with them. However, the tall eventually fell through and they started fighting.”

“You guys have been laying low these past few years, but you didn’t really become much weaker. Why can’t you defeat the eel clan?” Sima You Yue didn’t understand.

When she was in the Ninth Star Ocean, she got rather familiar with how powerful the violet water clan was. The eels were not their opponents at all.

“It’s because they’ve teamed up with the Water Dragon clan.” Wu La Er explained, “The Water Dragon Clan is a little weaker than us, but when the two are together, it’s still quite hard to defeat them. It’s a good thing that you left us quite a few pills before you left, which is why we haven’t lost yet. However, we’ve used up most of the pills already.

“Then, how long can you stay this time?” Sima YOu Yue asked.

“Ten days?” Shui Qing Man said, “This was our estimated time, but since you’re fine, we might go back earlier.”

“Mother, since you’ve come, you should wait for a moment. I’ll refine a few more pills that you can take back with you.” Sima You Yue said.

“You haven’t healed yet!” Wu La Xiu disagreed.

“I’ve recovered most of my mental strength. Although I’m not as good as I used to be, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to refine those pills. I’m already at the point where I’m so familiar with it that it comes naturally to me.” Sima You Yue said.

“Forget it. If you do this, it’ll hurt us watching you.” Shui Qing Man said.

“Mother, don’t worry. I won’t put myself in danger anymore.” Sima You Yue said, “I’m going to return to the sect. I’ll find my friends and ask them to refine pills with me so that we can have more of them. Mother, this should be your first time on the continent, right? Just take this place as your own home. You can let Aunty Lan and the others take you around for a walk.”

“Mother, since Tenth Bro has already said so, we should stay behind.” Wu La Xiu said, “Didn’t you say before that you wanted to see how humans lived? We can stay here and take a good look.”

“Alright then, but we can’t stay long.” Shui Qing Man initially worried quite a bit for Sima You Yue, but now that she had seen that she was quite alright, she was now worried about the Ninth Star Ocean again.

“Good. I’ll stay home today and accompany you guys, then I’ll go back to find help tomorrow.” Sima You Yue repeated.

On the morning of the second day, she got Sima Lie and the others to take care of Shui Qing Man as she returned to the inner sect. After thinking about it, she headed to Parting Garden first.
