Hong Yuan exited, and the people who were waiting outside stood straight. They didn’t dare to breathe loudly.

Little Seven glared at him and ran into the courtyard to check on You Yue’s situation. When she ran past Hong Yuan, he narrowed his eyes but did not look at her deeply as she rushed into the courtyard. Even after she disappeared, he didn’t retract his gaze.

“High Priest?” Hua Di whispered softly.

Hong Yuan retracted his gaze. “You two come with me.”

These two were the two clan elders.

“Yes.”

The two clan elders followed Hong Yuan obediently. Ba Jia Zi gave her grandpa a sympathetic look, then…she quickly pushed him to back of her mind and ran to find Sima You Yue.

Hua Xiu and Hua Jing also followed. Wu Lingyu already returned to his room. Only Sima You Yue and Little Seven were left in the courtyard.

“You Yue, are you okay?” Ba Jia Zi walked over and looked at Sima You Yue worriedly.

“I’m okay.” Sima You Yue replied.

“Really?” Ba Jia Zi didn’t believe it. “I heard this High Priest has the strangest temper. He hates humans in particular. Now he knows of your contract with King. He didn’t harm you?”

“Look at me, do I look harmed?” Sima You Yue spread her hands and shrugged.

“It looks like… you are really fine.” Hua Xiu rubbed his chin in puzzlement. “It stands to reason that even if he doesn’t kill you, he won’t let you be in comfort. Why did you just leave without doing anything? Strange! Strange!”

“Shoo you!” Sima You Yue slapped her hand down. “You want to see me hurt?”

“No, no, how would I dare! I am just curious.” Hua Xiu quickly smiled.

He was just kidding. This was the woman that King likes. If he was hated by her and King knew, that wouldn’t be any good days left!

“You Yue, how did you make him let you go?” Ba Jia Zi curiously asked.

“I didn’t do anything?” Sima You Yue said. “And he didn’t do anything to me. Why are you all nervous like that?”

That’s why you don’t know what kind of person the High Priest is.” Ba Jia Zi said. “If you knew, you would understand why we were anxious then and shocked now.”

“Alright.” Sima You Yue said. “Anyways, thank you for your concern.”

“What’s there to thank.” Ba Jia Zi held her hand and spoke, “Although you’re human, we’re still friends!”

“Mm!”

On the other hand, Hua Di and Ba Liang Qi followed Hong Yuan to the meeting hall.

“Have you prepared everything for King’s fusion?”Hong Yuan sat in the center, and the two clan elders sat beside them.

“Replying to High Priest, it’s all prepared.” Hua Di answered. “But the energy is a little low. I have sent people back to get more crystals.”

“No need.” Hong Yuan said.

“High Priest, if the energy is not enough, it may affect King’s fusion.” Ba Liang Qi reminded.

“That’s right.” Hua Di chimed in. “King delayed the fusion time, so we can go to the Devil Realm to get more for overprotection.”

“I said no need.” Hong Yuan said again. “The devil power matter has been solved.”

“Solved?”

“Mm.”

Hong Yuan brought out the devil crystal stone, and the two old guys’ eyes lit up. They stepped closer with trembling hands.

“Such a large devil crystal stone?! High Priest, where did you find it? It’s two to three times bigger than the one before!” Ba Liang Qi’s eyes were popping out.

“With this, there is no need to worry about the lack of energy for the fusion.” Hua Di said. “High Priest, such a large devil crystal stone, why wasn’t there any commotion? I wonder where you dug it from?”

“I didn’t find it.” Hong Yuan said.

“You didn’t find it?”

“Mm.” Hong Yuan stored away the devil crystal stone and continued, “This was found by Sima You Yue from a Little Realm.”

“Young Master You Yue found it?” Ba Liang Qi was stunned for a moment before exclaiming, “Young Master You Yue is the King’s blessing. If it weren’t for him, King’s soul would still be asleep, and would have dissipated in sleep. Now we have such a large devil crystal stone;it will help King’s fusion greatly!”

Hua Di frowned at Hong Yuan and shot Ba Liang Qi a look, who immediately stopped and shut up.

Unexpectedly, Hong Yuan was not angry at the two. He just said, “Since King has handed the preparations to you, you must check it several times in person and you cannot make a mistake. Got it?”

“Yes, High Priest.”

“High Priest, since you came to the Human Realm, then there’s no issue with the Devil King’s side? They won’t find out… right?” Ba Liang Qi asked.

“I’ve already arranged everything. Mo Luo has no suspicions for the time being. Now let’s check those things again…”

In the following days, everyone was busy. Hua Jing and them ran left and right, while Hua Di and them were so busy that their figures hardly appeared. Even Wu Lingyu and Mo Sha left together and did not return for several days.

Only Sima You Yue and Little Seven were free in the entire courtyard.

“Yue Yue.” Little Seven ran in front of Sima You Yue, placing a flower in her book.

“What’s wrong?” Sima You Yue closed the book and asked.

“Tomorrow is the day of fusion, aren’t you worried? How can you still read books?” Little Seven asked.

“If we don’t read books, what can we do?” Sima You Yue refuted.

“You can go and see what you can do. You have to express your worry.” Little Seven said.

“Unfortunately, I’m worried that it’s useless. We’re not preparing or part of the fusion. So what we can do now is wait and see the changes. Wait until tomorrow’s time and after termination of contract.” Sima You Yue said. “Even if we go help out, we don’t understand the stuff of Devil Realm, we’ll only add on more work. It is useless to worry. It is better to do our own things here.”

“You’re really open.” Little Seven said, “You’re not worried about your Senior Brother’s safety. You two even shared a bed.”

“What are you saying.” Sima You Yue poked Little Seven’s head. “No matter what happens later, Senior Brother must take this step. His soul is incomplete, which will affect his future, and will give the old guys of Sage Pavilion a chance to hurt him. So Senior Brother doesn’t have a choice. After this step, he might start a new life. If he cannot… I don’t know what to tell master if he asked of Senior Brother.”

Since Old Man Devil told them he was going to find Feng Ru Yan, his news had disappeared. He forgot about the possible dangers his two disciples might encounter and what they would do.

Sigh, what an incompetent master!

“Ah choo…”

An old man who was thousands of miles away felt his nose was itchy. He rubbed his nose as he muttered under his breath, “Who is badmouthing me…?”
