Chapter 605: A leave of absenceTranslator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

“You Yue, you really scared us to death. We really thought that you wouldn’t be able to make it.” Bei Gong Tang walked over to her and said happily.

Sima You Yue laughed and said, “I initially thought that I wouldn’t make it either. However, the negotiations went rather smoothly, so I made it.”

“Is it that person?” Ouyang Fei looked at Wu La Li, who was standing outside the courtyard.

After the exam, those students had all started to leave. He was the only one who remained.

“That’s the one. If my guess is right, he should be from the Royal Violet Sea Beast clan.” Sima You Yue said, “I have some things I have yet to finish discussing with him. I’ll come and look for you guys again later.”

“Okay.’

Fatty Qu and the others went down, but happened to see Sima You Yue already on her way out.

“Why didn’t You Yue wait for us before leaving?”

“She said that she still has things to discuss with that person. I’m guessing that they only managed to discuss things halfway before she came over.” Bei Gong Tang said.

“That person is rather powerful.” Sima You Lin commented.

“You Yue said that he might be from the Royal Violet Sea Beast clan.” Ouyang Fei explained, “We should head back first.”

By the time Sima You Yue walked over, Wu La Li had already left the observation deck.

“Let’s go. We have yet to finish our discussion earlier.” Sima You Yue said, “I can walk you back in the meantime.”

“Your performance was extremely shocking earlier.” Wu La Li said, “It’s no wonder you had so much confidence.”

“Thanks for your high praise.” Sima You Yue replied.

“You’re really not modest.” Wu La Li said as he turned to leave.

Sima You Yue followed along, leading him back to the Xuan Yuan pavilion.

“You should fill me in on that person’s situation.” Sima You Yue went into the room to take out a pen and paper, ready to take notes.

“Although you’re rather talented…” Wu La Li was still unable to believe that she had a way to solve it.

“How do you know whether or not I’ll be able to do it if you don’t’ tell me?” Sima You yue said, “In any case, don’t you have a bit of time? Since I’ve made a deal with you, you naturally have to settle my stuff well.”

Wu La Li watched Sima You Yue and noticed how serious her gaze was. He smirked and said, “Alright then. I’ll tell you about his illness.”

A few minutes later, Sima You Yue was pondering deeply over the contents written on the paper on the desk. She didn’t even notice that Wu La Li was watching her the whole time.

“Do you have any ideas?” Wu La Li asked.

“I have some ideas, but it would be best for me to see him personally. This would be best for me to be able to cure him.

“You can’t meet her.” Wu La Li said, “She’s in the Ninth Star Ocean and has been placed on a water crystal bed. The moment she moves, she will die.”

“What if I go over there?” Sima You Yue asked.

Wu La Li stared at her, “You should know how dangerous the NInth Star Ocean is, right?”

“I know.” Sima You Yue said, “But you told me that you can’t bring her over, so the only way is for me to go and see her. I just wonder whether or not the sect would agree to my leave of absence before I even entered the inner sect.”

“Alright. If you are able to go, I will ensure your safe return.” Wu La Li said, “No matter whether or not you are able to cure her, I will not get you to return the Black Sea Cucumber.”

“Although I really want to make this deal, I have to first request for a leave of absence. If I am unable to get it, I’ll have no choice.” Sima You Yue said, “I’m going to head back now. When do you want to leave?”

“Tomorrow then. I initially had some things to settle in the afternoon. However, since I have been delayed, I’ll have no choice but to push it back a day. If you are able to take a leave of absence, I will change my plans and bring you back with me.”

“I’ll give you my answer tomorrow then. I’ll go and apply for the leave now.” Sima You Yue stood up and left after speaking.

Once she had left, a silhouette slowly appeared within the house.

“Your Highness, if he is really able to apply for leave, are we really going to head back directly?” That person asked.

“Yes.” Wu La Li said while fiddling with the interspatial ring on his finger.

“But we have already received the location of the Dragon Beard Grass.

“Get you men below to go. That’s merely some information, it may not be true. I feel that he is more reliable that the Dragon Beard Grass.” Wu La Li said, “Send men to check up on his background. A talent that stands out so much among humans cannot possibly be a layman.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

When Sima You Yue returned to the sect, she headed directly to the place where the vice principal lived. She didn’t expect to see him playing chess with Ge Lang.

“Is there a reason you have come?” The vice principal said as he played a chess piece.

“Vice Principal, I want to request a leave of absence.” Sima You Yue said.

“A leave of absence? Did you not just pass the inner sect’s test? Once the other tests have concluded, you will have to head to the inner set.” The vice principal replied.

“I know, but I have some things I need to settle. So I just need to know if I can do so or not?”

“Ordinarily, you would no longer be a part of our outer sect, so we cannot approve your leave. You have no choice but to seek approval from the inner sect.” Vice Principal said with difficulty, “However, you have not yet reported to the inner sect, and they probably do not have your documents, so will not approve it.”

“Does Xu Jin not have special privileges?” Ge Leng placed a chess piece down on the board, saying, “If he approves, then you can report to the location a little later.”

“Really?” Sima You Yue beamed. However, when she remembered the slap she gave him today, she was uncertain whether or not he would make things difficult for her.

“A leave of absence?” Half an hour later, Xu Jin’s cry of shock could be heard from inside the vice principal’s house. “Hey, Ol’ Ge, you called me out in such a flurry because he wants to take a leave of absence? Do you not know what I was doing just now?”

“Do I need to know what you were doing just now? Your roguish smell betrayed you long ago.” Ge Lang said, “If I don’t call you over here, am I supposed to let the student go over there to look for you?”

Sima You Yue immediately understood where he was referring to. When she thought of how a certain someone casually drinking wine was earnestly summoned back here, she could not stop herself from lowering her head with a smirk.

She really didn’t understand how someone like Ge Lang who had such an upright character would actually be on such close terms with a person like Xu Jin?

“Laugh. If you keep on laughing, be careful that I won’t approve of your leave of absence anymore.” Xu Jin chided her, obviously noticing her snickering.

“So, Teacher, you mean that you approve?” Sima You Yue forcefully wiped the grin off her face and looked up at Xu Jin. However, her bright eyes still betrayed her.

Xu Jin felt a bit awkward under her gaze and subconsciously explained, “That was just my good friend. We were just drinking tea and chit chatting. It’s just that the people there are heavily covered with perfume, so some of the smell rubbed off on me when I brushed past.”

He stopped explaining when he noticed that Sima You Yue’s grin was getting wider and wider. Why was he doing explaining the situation to him? He was a teacher and he was just a student, okay!

He rubbed his nose and said, “Alright, tell me. Why do you need to take a leave of absence? How long do you think will you take? It can’t be that you want to take a leave of absence to avoid me, right?”
