1232 If you’re going to learn alone, you might as well learn together(Chapter preview)

When they saw how speechless Sima You Yue was, everyone was beside themselves with laughter.

"You Yue, it's fine. Even if you do nothing but eat all day, heartbreak valley can still provide for you." Fatty Qu laughed as he slapped his thigh.

"..."

A few black lines streaked the side of Sima You Yue's head. These laughing guys were really skiing for it. Every single person was laughing, but Bei Gong was a little better. She didn't laugh at her.

However, when she cast her gaze to Bei Gong, Bei Gong stepped backwards, hurriedly waving her arms saying, "If you eat like this, there's no way I can help to cook for you. You should look for someone else."

"...!!"

She really took her seriously!

Sima You Yue pushed the plates away before climbing onto the table with a roar. She pouted, "You guys are the worst. We just got reunited but you're all laughing at me. Have you no conscience?"

"What is a conscience? Can you eat it?" Fatty Qu burst into laughter.

Sima You Yue turned around to glare at him, saying, "Do you believe that I'll eat you up?!"

"I believe you… not! You can't catch me now!" Fatty Qu stuck his tongue out in response to You Yue's glare.

Sima You Yue saw that Fatty Qu was actually sticking his tongue out at her and she casually picked up a bowl and tossed it at him.

The speed at which the bowl flew shocked everyone. Although she had no spirit energy, her raw power was still the shame. However, it's because she tossed it at fatty who had refined his body as well, so this bit of power wouldn't hurt him.

As expected, Fatty Qu merely stuck out a hand and stopped the bow. Then, he tossed it and the bowl landed back on the table.

He said, beaming, "You Yue, you don't even have spirit energy but you're still so powerful. It's a good thing that it was me. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't be able to catch this!"

"It seems like you've trained rather well!" Sima You Yue said.

"Of course. Although I wasn't with you, we didn't loosen up a single bit. We knew that you'd definitely be stronger!" Fatty Qu said what everyone else was thinking.

"But when will you be able to recover?" Sima You Qi looked at her worriedly. Although it was good for her to rest now and then, it wouldn't be good for her to continue this way.

Sima You Yue shook her head, "Yin Lin really didn't say. You guys know divinators. They love keeping things abstract. They always say, "The mysteries of heaven cannot be revealed!"

"But you can't go about your days without peace! What if three to five hundred years go by? What will we do then?" Sima You Le said.

"Alright, even I'm not worried. You guys don't have to worry either. Yin Lin said that he would tell me news about my parents soon, so I should recover soon as well. Enough enough!" Sima You Yue waved her hands, telling them not to worry.

"What do you plan to do till then?" Sima You Lin asked.

"Without spirit energy, there's nothing much I can do." Sima You Yue said, "I plan to use this time to read some books, eat some food. We'll see whether or not I can bring my spirit energy back through nourishment! Who knows, I might be able to!"

"..." This made everyone else speechless. This girl was doing weird things again.

"Then do you have any books you want to read? I can bring them back for you." Sima You Le asked.

"No need, I plan to read some books about cultivation." Sima You Yue said, "Right, now that we're on this topic. Fatty Qu, I'll give you a book later on. It'll definitely be useful for you!"

"Alright."

Sima You Yue then turned to look at her brothers and asked, "Is there anything you guys want to learn? I can teach you guys."

"Us?" Her brothers were stunned.

"Yeah! I was too busy before, so although I got so many things, I didn't have the time to ask you." Sima You Yue said, "I have time now, so you just need to give me a bit of time if you want to learn anything! Of course, I don't know how to refine tools."

"If we only learn it now, would it be too late?" Sima You Ming asked.

Others started learning ever since they were children, while they were now sixty to seventy years old. It was a little too late!

"Not really, in the whole span of life, what are these few years?" Sima You Yue said, "Anyway, if you learn it now, you have your own advantages."

"What advantages do we have?" Sima You Le thought about it. He had never had any kind of talent!

Sima You Yue sat straight and said to them, "These few years, I have been continually strengthening your souls and mental energy. With a strengthened mental energy, you can remember things quicker. Although it's not imprinted immediately, you will be able to remember it after seeing it a few times."

"That's true." Sima You Qi said.

With a strengthened mental energy, they should be able to remember things much quicker.

"Also, with a stronger soul, your control should be better. Let's talk about refining, for example, it will be much easier to control this." Sima You Yue said, "Your mental strengths surpass the average person, so even if you only start now, it's not too late. Sharpening the blade won't slow down the chopping of wood!"

Everyone thought about it. This was indeed the case.

"You Yue is right. Even if you start now, you have your own benefits." Wei Zi Qi said.

"If you guys want to learn how to refine tools, you can look for me. Although I'm not that good, I'm still acquainted with the foundations." Fatty Qu said, "You can learn everything else from You Yue. she's much better in those other areas."

Sima You Ming and the others thought about it and figured that they might as well give it a shot. To pick up a new skill in their free time wasn't a bad idea.

"Then it's settled." Sima You Yue said, "Sigh, why is it that we just chatted for a bit but I'm already hungry?"

"..."

"You Yue, you can't keep eating like this." Sima You Lin saw that she had taken out some spirit fruits to munch on, "Why don't you try eating pills? They're more nourishing. Maybe you won't have to keep eating nonstop."

Sima You Yue thought about it, "That makes sense. Bei Gong, you guys can help me refine a few pills once we're back. It'll be good if those can fill me up."

"Alright." Bei Gong Tang greed.

Refining pills was a lot better than having to cook for her everyday!

In the later days, the Sima brothers began locking themselves in the spirit pagoda to study. If Sima You Yue was outside and they had something they didn't know, they could ask her anytime. She just had to send out a thread of consciousness.

She let Fatty Qu take a look at the personal letter of the tool refinement. When he saw that latter, Fatty Qu could see the value immediately. He was so excited that he almost hugged Sima You Yue and spun her around. It was a good thing that he managed to control himself in the end. Otherwise, her brothers who were nearby might have beaten him up.

A few days later, the upper ranks of heartbreak valley held a meeting. She, who was always absent, actually went to attend it for once.

Everyone was rather surprised to see her. Ni An Yi finally asked, "Boss, what are you doing here today?"

"I knew that you guys were having a meeting so I came to listen in." Sima You Yue casually found a chair to sit in, saying, "You guys can continue. Just ignore me."
