Since they had the same refining methods as they did, didn’t that mean that it was possible that Xu Jin had taught that person?

However, Jiang Jun Xian shook his head.

“It’s not?” Sima You Yue was shocked, “Then who was it?”

“An outsider like us. However, he seemed to possess an invitation from the Hao clan.”

Sima You Yue sat by the side of the table and supported her chin with her left hand. She would occasionally knock against the table with the fingers of her right hand.

“Outsider...” She muttered, “Over at your alchemist competition, could you receive any reward after winning a prize?”

“Of course! It’s the same for your doctor side!” Han Miao Shuang said, ‘It can’t be that you don’t even know this, right?”

“Of course I know that, it’s just that I only cared about taking first place. I didn’t care much for the reward and things like that.” Sima You Yue siad, “Also, I’m really asking whether there was any special reward over at your alchemy side?”

“Nothing special.” Han Miao Shuang thought about it again, “Those things are considered ordinary here, but maybe it’s relatively special to outsiders.”

“I’m guessing that the Hao Clan might have pushed those people out as shields.” Sima You Yue said, “Right now, the arrow is already on the bow. I’m going to the Hao Clan to take a look first. If there’s nothing there, we will continue to check.”

“We can only do this for now.”

“Right, you guys should pay attention to the Eastern Lai clan and Northern Du Clan for a while. I keep feeling like something is off.” Sima You Yue said.

“Off?”

“Mm.” Sima You Yue nodded, “In the past, they would always stay lowkey when they were in the Lost Place. However, they were very outstanding this time. Furthermore, Eastern Lai Li and Northern Du Hao are walking together. Don’t you find it strange? One time could be a coincidence, but if it happens twice, it may not be so.”

“No matter what they want to do, I don’t care as long as it doesn’t impact us.” Feng Zhi Xing said.

“I’m afraid that it will impact us.” Sima You Yue sighed. She should probably say that her intuition told her that there was a high chance it would impact her.

“Why?”

“We bumped into Eastern Lai Li and Northern Du Hao today. The both of them looked at Junior Sister with a murderous gaze.” Han Miao Shuang said.”

“They want to kill you?” Feng Zhi Xing’s expression was extremely dark, “If I knew this earlier, we should have let Supreme Fifth Spirit Senior kill her!”

“Huh? My father didn’t kill that lowlife?” Little Lucky crawled out from Sima You Yue’s back, “How could my father do something so unreliable?!”

Everyone: ...

Sima You Yue patted Little Lucky’s head, saying, “It wasn’t that your father didn’t kill her, it’s that I saved her from him.”

Little Lucky touched her forehead, “Yue Yue, did your brain malfunction at that time?”

“Hahaha-” Everyone laughed. This guy’s words were really cutting.

Sima You Yue told him what happened back then and thought that Little Lucky would understand. However, she didn’t expect him to nod his head solemnly, saying, “It seems like it really malfunctioned back then. You were being silly!”

Sima You Yue, “...”

“Although you shouldn’t have, she’s already been rescued.” Feng Zhi Xing said, “So if they dare to do anything to you, even if they’re from the hidden clans, we can’t let them off again!”

“I’m thinking the same thing. If they don’t do anything, we don’t have to bother with them. However, if they dare to do anything to us, we’ll make sure they won’t return alive!”

“Mm, everyone just has to be more careful these few days. If you want to leave the place, you definitely have to go together. Don’t leave this place on your own. Also, the moment you encounter them, it doesn’t matter whether or not they do anything to you. You definitely have to tell everyone else.” Sima You Yue instructed.

“We will be careful with issues regarding the secret. However, Junior Sister, when are you going to head to the Hao Clan?” Han Miao Shuang asked.

“The Hao Clan has already extended their invitation to me. However, I can’t go over so quickly. Let’s let them wait for a few days.”

If she hurried to go over, they would not be sucked in. If she agreed from the beginning, would they still capture her?

Sima You Yue selected a few large powers. Then, after a few days passed, she started to visit them clan by clan. Those people did not look down on her purely for being an outsider. Instead, all the clans extended olive branches to her, hoping that she would stay in their clan. They would teach her how they cultivated and even offer her handsome remunerations.

However, they were all rejected. There was only one reason. Her clan was outside and she would not remain on the island.

She came out from the inn and realised that someone was tailing her. She smirked. How could the Hao Clan be unable to hold back after such a short time?

In order to make things more convenient, she turned down a small alley and was waiting for the person to act. She didn’t expect that, the moment she turned, what she saw was not an attack but a small white ball flying towards her.

When it was less than a metre away from her, she stretched forth a hand and grabbed it tightly. She said through gritted teeth, “You still know how to return?”

She lifted Little Roar by his neck and his four little legs wriggled chaotically in the air. His two eyes turned as two teardrops were forced out, saying pitifully, “Yue Yue, I missed you so much. The moment I saw you, I immediately flew over so quickly.”

It would be weird if Sima You Yue believed him. She poked him with her other hand, “Missed me? You looked beyond yourself with joy instead!”

“How could you say that! I missed you!” He wanted to place his paws cross his heart, but they were too short and his position was not right, so he couldn’t do it at all.

“Is that so?” Sima You Yue looked at him lightly.

“Really, really. Truer than gold!” Little Roar did his best to make himself look like that really was the case. There was no way he would ever admit that the time he had spent with Shrine Maiden was filled with game and joy, where he passed every day comfortably.

“You sure that you didn’t come here to be someone’s spokesman?”

“Spokesman? What spokesman?” Little Roar looked at the sky, trying to act innocent.

Sima You Yue had long since seen through his intentions. He didn’t admit it, so she casually tossed him away and almost tossed him into a pile of rubbish by the corner.

“Ahhhhh- Yue Yue, you almost tossed me on top of the rubbish.” Little Roar protested.

Sima You Yue ignored him. She looked at the person standing by the alleyway and said, “Say it, you’ve been following me the entire way. What do you want to do?”

The person didn’t speak since the time Little Roar appeared. Now that she had paid him attention, he said, “My Patriarch extends an invitation.”

“Who is your Patriarch? I’ve seen many people recently, and I don’t remember your Master.”

“Yue Yue, Yue Yue, that person...” Little Roar wanted to tell her that she recognised this person, but she shut him up with a look.

The black robed man was already used to Little Roar and his expression didn’t change. He said very respectfully, “Young Miss Yue Yue, Master said that he won’t take your boat travel fees next time.”

“...” Sima You Yue pursed her lips, knowing who he was talking about.

Apart from the person who had extorted a lot of money from her, who else could it be?

“Lead the way.” She nodded at the person.

The person turned around to leave and she followed after him. Little Roar wanted to rush up, but she grabbed him and tossed himi back and he was almost tossed into the rubbish heap again.
