Sima You Yang and the others saw the people walked over and their eyes flashed. However, they still walked over and greeted them.

“Greetings, Grandfather Huo and seniors.” He said.

Huo Zheng Xing, Huo Zi Yan’s grandfather and Huo Jia Xian, the clan leader, stretched forward their hands in greeting, saying, “You Yang, did you get injured last night?”

“Grandfather Huo, we are fine. We are not injured at all.” Sima You Yang smiled in reply.

“Last night, the array had already been activated by the time we found out what was happening. Although we are spirit paragons, we were not able to exit and enter the protection array and didn’t manage to take care of you. We hope you do not mind.” Huo Zheng Xing said.

“Thank you Grandfather Huo for your care. We’ve caused you to worry. We were very safe inside our array.” Sima You Yang replied respectfully.

“Have you already kept the array away?”

“Yes, that’s because we are about to set off to Saint City, so we have kept it away.”

“You Lin, your mastery at arrays have improved tremendously. You were actually able to set up such a powerful array this time. Your future will definitely be boundless.”

Sima You Lin’s expression was a bit unnatural as he said, “I was not the one who set up the array.”

“It wasn’t you? Then who was it?” The Huo Clansmen scanned the Sima Clansmen with surprise. They wanted to see whose abilities at arrays were even stronger than Sima You Lin.

“It was You Yue.” Sima You Lin said.

“Which one of them is Sima You Yue?”

Sima You Yue stood right at the back of the group. She was just lamenting that Sima You Yang, this guy, always did not look the part but now, when conversing with the Huo clan, looked really decent. Suddenly, she heard them mention her name and her mouth that was curved downwards muttered two sentences.

No matter what it was, she still stood up and bowed towards Huo Zheng Xing, saying, “This junior greets Huo Zheng Xing.”

“You are Sima You Yue? Were you the one who set up the array?” Huo Zheng Xing looked at Sima You Yue and thought of the time where Sima You Yue had created a scene with the Sima Clan.

“I am that junior.” Sima You Yue replied.

“I never expected that you would be so talented. You’re so young but so accomplished.” Huo Zheng Xing nodded his head in praise when he saw that Sima You Yue did not appear proud.

Huo Zi Yan and Huo Zi Jiao looked at Sima You Yue with shock. Her array mastery was actually more powerful than You Lin’s. What kind of monster was she?

It was no wonder that she was together with those alchemists, armament masters and beast tamer masters.

“I heard that you even have a few good friends by your side who are alchemists, armament masters and beast tamers. Are they still with you?” Huo Zheng Xing asked with a smile.

Sima You Yue was secretly taken aback. Two years ago, they had disgraced the miss of the Huo Family. This old coot must not be coming to settle the score as well, was he?

Seeing that her expression had wavered, Huo Zheng Xing smiled widely, “I merely wanted to meet the few young talents. I don’t have any other ideas.”

Sima You Yue looked into Huo Zheng Xing’s eyes and felt that he was not the kind of person who would take advantage of the young, so she nodded. She turned around and looked at them, saying, “Zi Qi, Bei Gong, Fatty, come here and greet Grandfather Huo.”

Wei Zi Qi and the other three walked over, saying, “Greetings, Grandfather Huo.”

“Truly a people filled with talent. You truly have abilities.” Huo Zheng Xing praised, “Why are you missing one person?”

“Ouyang hasn’t come to find us yet.” Sima You Yue replied.

“Has he left you all?” A Huo clansmen asked.

“Not so, he is currently settling a few things in South Eclipse Kingdom.” Sima You Yue replied.

“We heard about the change in South Eclipse Kingdom on the way here. The emperor happens to be of the surname Ouyang. Could that friend of yours possible be the crown prince who returned?” Huo Zheng Xing asked with understanding.

Sima You Yue secretly wondered why he bothered asking if he already knew, but she still answered respectfully, “He is.”

After speaking, she glanced at Sima You Yang pointedly, who immediately understood what she meant. He said, “Grandfather Huo, we plan to head to Saint City, do you want to go with us?”

“Okay, we plan to go over as well. Why not travel together.” Huo Zheng Xing said.

They had come over in order to go to Saint City together. The later part of the journey would be longer than the front part and also more dangerous, and the Huo and Sima Clan could be said to be old acquaintances, so they planned to take them with them.

The Huo clan took out a flying divine beast and the Sima clansmen climbed on board as well. They left in the morning and only arrived at Saint City in the evening.

When they arrived at Saint City, the Huo Clan and Sima Clansmen went their separate ways and returned to their own houses.

Saint City did not permit one to fly in the sky, so everyone called out their contracted beasts and only reached the Sima Clan’s courtyard after running at top speed for half an hour.

“Fellow Young Lords and Misses, you are finally here.” The steward of the Sima Clan’s courtyard stepped forward to bow to them when he saw them. “I heard that you have been outside Dragon Reflection Town these few days, are you all okay?”

“Uncle Ren, we are fine.” He was the steward they had brought over from the Sima Clan, so Sima You Yang knew him from before.

“We have already cleaned up the houses. Everyone take a rest and you can tour around tomorrow morning. The Lord said that they will arrive in two days.” Sima Ren said.

“Alright, we’ll have to trouble Uncle Ren.” Sima You Yang said. After that, he turned to the disciples of the Sima Clan, saying, “Everyone should head back to rest tonight. Those who want to go out can go out together tomorrow to tour around.”

“Uncle Ren, why are those below the age of 20 not allowed to enter Saint City?” A disciple from the Sima Clan asked.

It was precisely because of this reason that they they didn’t come before. As for those who were already over twenty, they just didn’t have the opportunity these few years.

“This has been a regulation passed down from before. We don’t know the reason either.” Uncle Ren explained while showing them the way.

“Outsiders are not allowed to enter before they reach twenty, then what about those who grow up here?” Sima You Yue asked curiously.

“Hehe, we don’t know either.” Uncle Ren said with a smile.

“Don’t tell me this place restricts by age!” Fatty Qu exclaimed.

After they had rested in the Sima house for a night, they all found a buddy and went out on the second day. Even Sima You Ming and the other three brothers came to look for Sima You Yue to take her out with Fatty Qu and the others.

Saint City appeared to be similar to the other cities. They were separated into north south, east and west districts and in there were rows of shops in the heart of the city. The other four districts were residential districts, there were many clans, even those who were local with a lot of history.

Only the alchemist guild, armament master guilds, the others guilds and the Saint Pavilion could station themselves in the heart of the city.

“This place is huge!” Sima You Yue and her group sat in the beast cart that Sima Ren had prepared for them, and were currently wandering around the central district.

“I heard that Saint City has many different types of treasures. Many people obtain treasures on ten thousand beast mountain and the like, or they obtain a few items that shouldn’t appear and they take it here to sell.” Sima You Ran told them the news that he had heard.

“Ah? Why is that?” Fatty Qu’s eyes grew large, “Wouldn’t this place become a heaven for those thieves, then? They steal outside and come here to dispose of their stolen goods?
