“There are many with the surname ‘Sima’, but few who are related to you.” Qi Wei said enigmatically.

“Related to me? I’ve never even met them. How could they be related to me?” Sima You Yue immediately denied.

“I’m serious!” Qi Wei said seriously, “When you were in the bas.e.m.e.nt, you used a spirit skill. It lets you fuse with your contracted beast, right?”

Sima You Yue tilted her head toward Qi Wei and asked, “How did you know?”

The moment Qi Wei saw her gaze, he immediately wailed, “Don’t glare at me! We happened to see it before, that’s how we knew! We didn’t mean to pry.”

“You’ve seen it before?” Sima You Yue’s eyes turned gentler as she asked, “Where”

“Outside our sect.” Qi Wei said, “That’s something that has been lost for a hundred years…”

“Sima Liu Yun…” Sima You Yue spoke his name, and kept it in her heart. “Then, how is the Sima clan doing now? Why would you lump me in with them? Just based off a spirit skill that you’re not even that sure about?”

“In the beginning, we didn’t think along these lines. However, we guessed this when we saw you use the same spirit skill. We didn’t think you weren’t actually related!” Qi Wei said ruefully.

“This is how easily misunderstandings arise.’” Sima You Yue smiled.

“Truly.” Xian Ming Lang said, “We have been taking you as their clan member. If it were not because we asked you today, we would’ve kept a.s.suming as such.”

“But, You Yue, since you’re so powerful, even the later generations of the Sima Clan can’t catch up to you, right?’ You Qing looked at Sima You Yue with wors.h.i.+p, not embarra.s.sed at all that she was younger than herself.

After their conversation, they were already addressing her by name. Actually, You Yue wasn’t used to addressing people by Brother or Young Lord and things like that.

“I think so too.” Xian Ming Lang said, “I wonder what kind of people the later generations of the Sima clan are.”

“Even if You Yue isn’t part of that Sima clan, I’m guessing there might be a thread of relations.” Blue Blade said.

“Because of that spirit skill?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Yeah.” Blue Blade lightly said, “I once heard my master say that that is a secret art of the Sima clan. n.o.body outside the clan knows it. And You Yue, you said that it is an art pa.s.sed down by your clan. This proves that there is a relations.h.i.+p.”

“It’s fine if there is, then.” Sima You Yue said, “In any case, they don’t know me and I don’t know them. It’s not like I want to meet them.”

“Don’t you feel like looking into it?” Zhou Lan asked.

“What for?” Sima You Yue smiled lazily as she shrugged, “I won’t depend on them or ask them for help. My life is good now, why ruin the status quo?”

“But the Sima clan is a powerful one too. If you went over to them, you’d definitely become even stronger.” Yu Qing said.

“A clan like that will have geniuses a dime a dozen. It’s not a given that life will be better. In any case, I’m living well now.” Sima You Yue said.

“True. Boss’s free life on the outside isn’t bad at all.” Qi Wei agreed.

Time pa.s.sed even quicker while they were chatting, and the few of them got to know each other better. They felt like they had good chemistry and got a lot closer than before.

“Yue Yue, I’m done.” Little Dream waved towards Sima You Yue from the sky.

Sima You Yue flew over to her, saying, “Controlled them all?”

Little Dream nodded, saying proudly, “All done! You can release the barrier!”

“Little Birdie, aren’t you going?” Sima You Yue called out towards Little Birdie.

Little Birdie flew a few rounds in the air, dissatisfied with its nickname. It was a pity that it was not a living thing, so it couldn’t speak. Although Sima You Yue kind of knew what it was thinking, she couldn’t have a discussion with it.

And her only connection, Crimson Flame, totally didn’t care about a little thing like this. It was obvious that he wouldn’t think of helping it stand up for itself.

Little Birdie hopped a few times and saw that Sima You Yue was ignoring it, so it resentfully flew towards a pile of array stones in the valley. It accurately enveloped one of them and burnt it away.

As that array stone disappeared, the array followed suit. With a wave of her hand, she kept the remaining array stones away.

“Boss, can this array only be broken from the inside?” Yu Qing flew over and asked.

“Yeah. You can only break this array from the inside, because everything is in here.” Sima You Yue said, “Those who are outside cannot enter, and those who are inside cannot go out. We can’t break it from the outside either. Little Dream, you should keep your little soldiers away.”

“Okay!” Little Dream waved her hand and the spirit beats disappeared. It looked as if she was the one who kept it away, but it was actually Sima You Yue keeping them into her spirit paG.o.da.

“Whoa, where did the spirit beasts go?” Qi Wei asked with curiosity

“Types like Little Beast have their own storage s.p.a.ce.” Sima You Yue casually made it up.

Many spirit beasts had their own storage s.p.a.ce. Some could only put a few things, while others could put a lot. They naturally put Little Dream into this category.

“Yue Yue, I’m a little tired. I’m going back to rest. Call me if there’s anything you need.” Little Dream felt like her eyelids were a little heavy and wanted to sleep.

Sima You Yue knew that she has used up quite a bit of energy in controlling that many spirit beasts, so she needed lots of rest right now. She rubbed her head, saying, “Go ahead and rest.”

Little Dream entered, as Zhou Lan said, “Let’s head back. I’m guessing the Qiu clan must be scared silly.’

“Alright.”

Halcyon turned back into his original form as he led everyone back. However, he didn’t fly far before they noticed a patch of black clouds floating over to them.

“Those dark clouds are so quick!” Xian Ming Lang said as he pointed towards those dark clouds.

Blue Blade and Zhou Lan’s expressions immediately changed as the latter immediately slapped Xian Ming Lang on the head, scolding him. “Idiot, how are those dark clouds! Those are evil ghosts!”

Xian Ming Lang was immediately dazed as he pointed at the quickly approaching evil ghosts with a trembling finger, telling, “Wot the h.e.l.l? What kind of d.a.m.ned luck is this? We just settled a group that had been controlled by the evil ghosts, and now we’re faced with so many evil ghosts! I’ve never seen so many evil ghosts and spirit beats attack us before!”

“Everyone, get ready!” Blue Blade instructed.

“Do we even need to prepare for this?” Qi Wei and the others stood by Blue Blade’s side, as if in formation.

Sima You Yue didn’t stand at the front this time. She couldn’t always be the one expanding effort. This would hurt their own self esteem. It was best that she let them baffle. She wanted to see how good they were in battle against the evil ghosts.

As the evil ghosts drifted by, Blue Blade and the others began their spirit attacks. You Yue had guessed it right. Their spirit energies were of fire and wood attributes. They happened to be the nemesis of these ghost clansmen.
