Sima You Yue watched as the person walked out. Luckily, she recognised him.

“Young Princess.” Di Yi greeted Sima You Yue and was shocked to see Yu Ke Luo when he got up.

“Di Yi, where is Cousin?” Sima You Yue questioned.

“Master is inside and his condition does not look good. Please come with me.” Di Yi went in as Sima You Yue followed him closely. This time, no one dared to stop them again.

“How is Cousin? How did he get injured? What exactly happened?” Sima You Yue asked as she walked.

“Don’t worry, Young Princess. Master is fine.” Di Yi said.

“Fine? Didn’t you just say he was in a bad shape? And those guards…” Sima You Yue asked.

“That was a show I put up for the outsiders.” Di Yi continued, “That day, everyone was demanding for the Master to hand Young Princess over, and Master had no choice but to come up with an idea with Master Mo Yu. This way, he could divert all their attention elsewhere to avoid the harassment.”

“But since they were already fighting, he hasn’t gone out yet?” Sima You Yue frowned.

“This wasn’t the decisive fight yet, This fight is because of all the people who keep demanding us to hand Young Princess over.” Di Yi continued, “Master said earlier that these people were insufferably arrogant and don’t care about us. Now that something really happened, we shall let them handle it on their own.”

“That works.” Sima You Yue became calm after hearing him out.

Although she didn’t want others to support her, she didn’t feel like doing something for this kind of person.

“And since the Master was in this state, they wouldn’t be able to ask for Young Princess’s location.” Di Yi said.

“I’m sorry to trouble Cousin for this period of time.” Sima You Yue felt that she was unable to return the favour when Di Zhe helped her with so many things.

“Master hopes that Young Princess is safe and sound. He would be happy as long as you’re safe.” Di Yi knew how to speak for his Master.

Sima You Yue smiled.

“Mo Yu is here too?” Yu Ke Luo asked.

“Yes, Princess.” Di Yi was more respectful towards Yu Ke Luo which made it seem like he was closer to Sima You Yue. “Master said it was coming to a limit while fighting these people, and they couldn’t let Qing Hun get through the Ghost Realm, so they were having the last discussion with Master Mo Yu. They should be done any time soon.”

Sima You Yue and the others were chatting while walking, and no one dared to stop them as they saw Di Yi. As such, they were headed to where Di Zhe was.

There was a sound of something dropping, then it became silent again. While standing outside, they could feel the restrained emotions.

“Princess, Young Princess, please come in.” Di Yi opened the door as Yu Ke Luo and Sima You Yue went in while the others tactfully stayed outside.

In the room, Di Zhe sat by the bedside in his pyjamas and there was a spilled cup of water not far from the bed. Mo Yu sat on a chair with a cup of tea in his hands while staring at them.

And Di Zhe whose eyes became straight when he saw Yu Ke Luo.

“Little Aunt!” Di Zhe softly cried out, his usually fierce eyes turned red.

“Little Zhe.” Yu Ke Luo pinched his cheeks like she did before and said, “You became thinner.”

“Little Aunt, you’re finally out! I….” Di Zhe came to a halt after noticing that people around him were watching.

“I heard from Yue’er, you did so many things in order to save me. Sorry to trouble you all these years.” Yu Ke Luo said with heartache.

“Everything was worth it as long as I could save Little Aunt.” Di Zhe glanced at Sima You Yue, “It was all thanks to her that we could get you out.”

“She might not have succeeded without your help. I’ll keep this favour in my heart.” Yu Ke Luo said.

Sima You Yue sat beside Mo Yu, who placed the tea cup on the table with an expression on his eyes and smiled, “Powerful!”

“Of course!” Sima You Yue lifted her chin proudly. As long as she wanted to do something, as long as it existed, no matter how hard or difficult the journey was, she would definitely do it!

“Show off.”

“I am.”

“Have you thought of how to deal with this?” Mo Yu asked.

“Don’t they want my life? Then we shall see if they have what it takes!” Sima You Yue scoffed, “Those that always thought they are capable and able to unify with Ghost Realm don’t know how it felt to see their dream get destroyed in front of them!”

“So cruel!” Mo Yu looked down on her.

Sima You Yue laughed, “Thank you for the compliment!”

“So confident in yourself? Why don’t you give us a hint?”

“Wait.”

“Wait? What are we waiting for?”

“You’ll know in two days.”

“So you’re saying that we’ll see the results in two days?”

“I released a lot of scarlet bees to scout for some information when I got here and just gathered all the information. I’m guessing that Qing Hun will start a comprehensive attack tomorrow. You just need to stall for two more days.”

“You mean… Ghost King?Ghost King is coming out of seclusion?” Mo Yu sounded excited and his words pulled their attention away from their conversation.

“Grandfather is coming out of seclusion?” Di Zhe asked.

“I’m just guessing.” Sima You Yue continued, “I’m guessing that he’s coming out of seclusion because the soul imprint that Grandfather left in my sea of consciousness has had huge fluctuations these two days.”

“But Qing Hun’s power is equivalent to your Grandfather’s power. Even if he comes out of seclusion, it won’t be like the dream you talked about, the one where he’ll tear Qing Hun apart.” Mo Yu said.

“Who told you Grandfather’s power would be the same as Qing Hun’s after he gets out?” Sima You Yue said proudly, “They would be very different!”

“Are you saying that he can still advance?” Mo Yu felt that she was too confident.

“We shall see when Grandfather comes out of seclusion.” Sima You Yue didn’t want to debate with him.

“That’s if you look at it optimistically. What if King doesn’t come out of seclusion? How do we solve this problem?” Mo Yu asked.

“Then I’ll find someone to deal with!” Sima You Yue continued, “Qing Hun wants me? I’ll have to see if he can afford it!”

Seeing Sima You Yue’s sly smile, Mo Yu thought that Qing Hun’s plans had backfired this time! All the big armies that he had might not be able to go back alive, and he might not even have the life to go back to his position.

One was seeing his dream get torn apart in front of his eyes, while the other was dead and couldn’t do anything else. Regardless, any one of them seemed cruel to him.

“Master, the few are here again!” Di Yi said outside.

Di Zhe, who was wearing a smile earlier, immediately fell solemn after hearing this.

“They were the few that kept pestering you to hand me over? Ghost Concubine’s men?” Sima You Yue guessed correctly on her first guess.

“That’s right.”

“Isn’t it said that Ghost Concubine is collaborating with Qing Hun? Why is she still alive? Haven’t you thought of a way to kill her?”
