“What do you mean by the person who has been bragged about awfully much, the person who is still alive?” This piqued Sima You Yue’s interest, so she turned around and started talking to him.

“Don’t you know? Oh, you came for the former emperor as well.” Luo Yi said, dragging his tone.

Of course not. She had come here for her prey. Sima You Yue smiled, but she did not say anything.

“Actually, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Of all the people who come here, ninety nine percent of them have come to feel the emperor’s spiritual space.” Luo Yi said with a look of understanding.

“You have yet to tell me, who are those that have been bragged awfully much!” Sima You Yue asked.

“Who else can it be? Isn’t it the Young Master of Happiness City, Nan Yu Zhi?” When Luo Yi mentioned Nan Yu Zhi, his voice was filled with disdain. He seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with him.

“Your words carry a sour note. How did the other party offend you?” Sima You Yue asked.

If someone were to hear this, who knows how angry they would be? Even if they were magnanimous, they would also be unhappy. However, Luo Yi took no offence at all. He could even talk to her while dancing around, “Don’t you know that people have been saying that Nan Yu Zhi is handsome and tall? They have even said that he is more suave than me, gentle and kind. They talk about how good he is. I want to see if he really is as good as they say.”

Sima You Yue understood then. She was certain that people must have been comparing the both of them often, which was why he was affected by it.

“I say, little lady. After you enter the city, follow me. You can be the witness to see if he truly is better than me.” Luo Yi said.

Sima You Yue initially did not want to, but thinking of Nan Yu Zhi’s identity, she changed her mind. She nodded, and said, “Alright, but I heard that the city isn’t safe. You need to protect us and keep us safe.”

“No problem! With me around, no one can think about harming you… both.” Luo Yi hit his chest to guarantee.

The old man behind did not even have the time to stop him. However, it was only his subconscious reaction, he calmed down soon after.

Luo Yi realised the old man’s movement, but he did not feel that he had done anything wrong. Instead he smiled at him, then introduced him, “This is Sixth Uncle.”

Sima You Yue nodded her head in the direction of Sixth Uncle, who returned the formality.

The queue slowly moved forward, and finally reached them. Sima You Yue passed the guard the money for two entry fees, and the guard gave them a tag. If they encountered anyone who was checking in the city, they could just show this.

Sixth Uncle passed them the entry fee for Luo Yi and himself. Luo Yi kept muttering that the entry fee to the city was very expensive, saying that Nan Yu Zhi had a beast heart, falling into the trap of having only eyes for money. How could such a person have such an amazing reputation?

Sima You Yue was used to silence. With such a noisy person constantly in her ears, she endured it again and again. After being pestered all the way, she could not tolerate it anymore. She turned and glared at him, “Can you not be a quiet handsome man?”

“What?” Luo Yi stopped immediately, so he did not bump into her.

“I said, can you be more quiet, and be a quiet handsome man.” Sima You Yue said, “You want to compete with Nan Yu Zhi, so you will have to change your habit of nagging. Do you know that your mouth is affecting your image?”

“Ah? Is that so? No one has ever told me this before.”

Of course it is real. Look at my Lingyu, he’s so quiet. You can obtain the hearts of many girls if you were like this! If you want to compete with Nan Yu Zhi, firstly, you must learn how to be a quiet handsome man. If not, even I think that you will not be able to compete with him.” Sima You Yue said earnestly.

“Is that really true? Then I shall be a quiet handsome man.” Luo Yi thought about it seriously. Although he was handsome and had a high status, there really were not many girls who would crowd around him.

However, why was there no one who had told him this before?

He wanted to ask Sima You Yue, but thinking about what she said about being a quiet handsome man, he stopped himself. It was better to ask her later on. He needed to be quiet for a while.

Her ears were finally able to get some peace, and she let out a long breath. She really regretted following him.

Luo Liu looked at her, secretly startled. His Young Master actually listened to her words!

If it was not because he had always followed the Young Master and knew that they definitely did not know each other, he would have suspected her.

They continued to move forward. Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu wanted to go and stay at the inn, Luo Yi said arrogantly, “Let me tell you, the inn here is very expensive. We have a small yard here, and you only have two people, do you want to go with us to the small yard?”

Sima You Yue blinked her eyes as Wu Lingyu’s expression turned black. Was this fellow so compassionate? Or was it to say, he was only more compassionate to her.

“There’s no need, we have enough money.” He did not even think before rejecting him.

“But you guys have agreed to help me be the judge. If you don’t follow us wouldn’t it be a hassle?” Luo Yi frowned.

“But we are not related in any way, so it wouldn’t be nice if we went there.” Sima You Yue said.

“We are friends. Since we are friends, why would it matter if you came to our place?” Luo Yi did not understand what they were thinking.

Luo Liu knew what they were concerned about, so he stood out and said, “Our Young Master has been this compassionate all along, as long as they are his friends, as long as they were with him, they would not need to stay at the inn.”

“Really?” Sima You Yue laughed, “Then does it mean he brings people back frequently?”

“Speaking of it, it isn’t the case either. This is because there are not many people who have been identified as friends by the Young Master.” Luo Liu said.

“Then wouldn’t it make us more curious? We have only just met him for one to two hours, so how can we be regarded as his friends by such a critical person?”

“Because you are sincere! Also, you didn’t suck up to me.” Luo Yi said, “You are sincere to me as a person, so I feel that you are my friend.”

Sima You Yue lips twitched, this was really a random reasoning.

“Eh, go away!”

“I’m begging you, please let him go. His body is already dissipating soon, he cannot do any more forced labour!”

“Let me go, let me go! Ah-”

The voices of quarrelling came from the streets. Sima You Yue looked in the direction of the voices. There were a few people and the soldier team pulling at one another.

These few people had already formed their physical bodies, but one of the bodies seemed to have received a lot of damage. The entity that they congealed was a little unstable, they would be physical one moment, then incorporeal the next.

And the soldiers that were capturing the people did not care about the condition of his body at all.

“If this continues, I’m afraid they’ll die within a few days of forced labour.” Sima You Yu heard the people beside them discussing.

“But in the city, we will need to listen to them. They asked for them to go serve the force labour, so they will have to go.”

“Yes, who would dare to go against them here?”

“Ughh-”

Those people wanted to resist them, but they were pinned onto the ground by the soldiers, making them unable to move. One soldier chained all of them up, not even letting go of the person who was dissipating.

Sima You Yue had yet to say anything before Luo Yi, who was by her side, already ran over.. She saw Luo Liu’s helpless expression and could not contain her laughter.
