Although Kong Xiang Yi was a little puzzled, she nodded saying, “I’ll spread the word.”

Sima You Yue was extremely satisfied with this kind of unconditional trust that she had in her. She would definitely not deceive her, but if she was suspicious towards her, this would prove that she had no trust in her. If they were still on this level despite spending such a long time together, then they would no longer need to remain as companions.

Kong Xiang Yi left after speaking, and looked as if she was randomly walking around, but she was actually intentionally walking towards where the Kong Valley members were.

She had a mask on, so the members of the Kong Valley were unable to recognize her for a moment. She came beside a white clothed male and lowered her voice, “Senior Brother.”

Lu Shen Qiu was currently discussing some matters about the One Mountain Sect with a fellow sect member when he heard Kong Xiang Yi’s voice and jumped with shock. He looked around him, but he didn’t see her until someone blocked his way.

“Junior Sister, what are you doing here?” Lu Shen Qiu asked.

“I followed Feng and the others.” Kong Xiang Yi said, “We’re all wearing masks, so most people won’t recognise us.”

“What are you doing here?”

“I came to tell you that the Kong Valley is pulling out of this. Do your best to leave as soon as possible. However, don’t attract too much attention.”

“Leave?” Lu Shen Qiu was a little confused, “Junior Sister, didn’t you keep saying before that you really wanted an auspicious beast? This is a good opportunity.”

“You Yue told us to leave, so he definitely has his reasons. He has always been more astute at things, he wouldn’t harm us.” Kong Xiang Yi said, “Although he has yet to tell me why, I believe that he must have already guessed what’s inside. It could be that it’s something that will bring disaster. He probably wants you to leave so that you will not get dragged in.”

“Junior Sister, you trust in him that much?” Lu Shen Qiu was still suspicious and confused.

Kong Xiang Yi nodded, “I do. That is why you guys have to find an excuse and leave soon. Even if you do not leave, you should go to a safe place far away to watch.”

“But…”

“Senior, this is an order.” Kong Xiang Yi was resolute.

Lu Shen Qiu saw her acting this way and had no choice but to sigh, “Alright, then. I’ll lead the other disciples away. However, we will not leave. We will only go further back. We have to keep you safe.”

“Up to you.” Kong Xiang Yi said, “Don’t be too obvious. Alright, I’m going back now.”

Kong Xiang Yi pretended to be squeezed out by the crowd, and did not immediately return. She walked one round in the other direction, eavesdropped for a bit before returning.

The moment she left, Lu Sheng Qiu passed down the orders to depart. More and more people were gathering, and they let themselves drift farther and further, heading to the back of the crowd without anyone’s notice.

Kong Xiang Yi returned around walking around and came back to Sima You Yue. It was only now that she asked, “You Yue, why did you get them to leave?”

Sima You Yue could feel the aura growing denser and denser, and she was getting increasingly worried. Seeing that Kong Xiang Yi had returned, she said, “They’re not the only ones who have to leave. You guys have to as well. It’ll be enough for me to remain here alone.”

“Alone? That’s too dangerous.” Kong Xiang Yi didn’t agree.

“We never had any intention to capture the sacred beast, remember?” Sima You Yue siad, “I can sense something familiar from that aura, which is why I came. However, you can see that there are more and more people coming here. Things will become chaotic at that time. It’ll be better to leave.”

“Since that’s the case, we should leave together.” Kong Xiang Yi said.

“I want to ascertain whether or not it really is as I think it is.” Sima You Yue siad, “Relax, it’ll be easier for me to fish in troubled waters alone. Take advantage of the early time now and retreat quickly. Dear Feng, take care of Third Aunt and Little Wu. Don’t let them get injured amidst the chaos.”

“Got it.” Ximen Feng agreed.

“You Yue, leave with us.” Third Aunt Du was worried about leaving Sima You Yue alone here.

“Third Aunt, if i’m not wrong, the person inside is very important to me. I can’t just leave. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

“Third Aunt, don’t you know how he is? Let’s go.” Ximen Feng led them in retreat once he finished speaking.

“You Yue.” Bei Gong Tang held Sima You Yue’s hand.

“If it really is him, then I have to ensure his safety.” Sima You Yue said, “If something happens, you guys mustn’t panic. It would be best to leave this place.”

“Okay.”

“I want to be with you.” Little Seven grabbed onto Sima You Yue’s hand, she didn’t want to leave.

“Little Seven, I know that you are very powerful, but there is something I must do. I cannot take care of you. Be good, go with them.” Sima You Yue encouraged.

“I don’t want to.” Little Seven refused.

“You don’t listen to me anymore?” Sima You Yue intentionally let her expression fall.

“I can help you in whatever you want to do. I’m very powerful.” Little Seven saw the way Sima You Yue was acting, and looked stubbornly at her.

“Little Seven, did you forget our agreement? If you followed me, you had to listen to me. I’m unsure myself, whether or not the situation will be as I think it will be. If it is not, I will also leave in a moment. If it is, then it would hinder me to have someone beside me. Little Seven, you don’t want me to get hurt ,do you?” Sima You Yue knelt down, as if she was pacifying a child.

“I want to be with you.” Little Seven insisted, “If you don’t stay with me, then I’ll just stand somewhere else.”

She didn’t want to leave, and just told her directly. Something bid would happen here, and for her, it was very possible that she would undergo her next transformation because of it.

That was why she couldn’t leave. She had to wait here for her transformation.

Sima You Yue saw how obstinate she was being, and guessed that she must have her own reasons for staying here.

“Alright then, stay beside me. If there’s danger you really have to listen to me.” She wiped the tears from Little Seven’s eyes.

“Mm.” Little Seven nodded and hugged Sima You Yue’s neck, kissing her on her forehead.

Sima You Yue kissed Little Seven’s cheek before standing back up and saying to Bei Gong Tang and the others “Since Little Seven doens’t want to go, then you guys can go ahead.”

Bei Gong Tang and the others nodded before turning around to leave. Their original position was quickly snatched up by others.

Sima You Yue held on to Little Seven and came over to where Shi Chen and the others were. Although Shi Chen did not see her put on the human skin mask with his own eyes, he knew who she was by her clothes.

“Thank you for holding back.” Sima You Yue smiled when she saw the scarlet bee on Shi Chen’s shoulder.

“I can return the creature nwo.” Shi Chen grabbed onto the scarlet bee and gave it to Sima You Yue.

“Just keep it with you. I’m too lazy to send out another one. I didn’t come to talk about this.” Sima You Yue said.

“Then what did you come here for?” Feng Kai asked.

“I want you guys to leave.” Sima You Yue just got straight to the point.
