1457 Yin Lang’s motives(Chapter preview)

Sima Zhi Yuan and Sima He Shun believed that there were things that were simply ordained by fate.

"Since this is something that the Jiang Clan has caused by themselves, there's no reason for them to come and demand people from us."

"Are we weaker than they are?" Sima You Yue asked.

"We're about the same. However, their older generation are more powerful than ours. If they really end up in dire straits, the older generation definitely won't ignore the situation."

"This isn't a big deal. As long as our older generation increases in rank, won't they no longer pose a threat to us!" Sima Zhi Yuan said, "You Yue, this shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

"Relax, I went out this time because I already obtained the Profound Moon Fruit." Sima You Yue took out a ten thousand year old Profound Moon Fruit after she finished speaking. It was about as old as the one given as a prize in the competition. "Great Grandfather, about this, I think we should keep it as a secret for the time being."

"We know that." Sima Zhi Yuan held onto the Profound Moon Fruit excitedly, "We will find someone reliable to refine this into medicine. Once it is successful, the rest will be easy!"

As long as the older generation of the Sima Clan managed to advance in rank, dealing with the Jiang Clan would be a piece of cake!

"Since we have already obtained the Profound Moon Fruit, let me take it back with me." Sima He Shun said, "You've always stayed here. If you left all of a sudden, I'm afraid that others might notice something."

"Alright." Sima Zhi Yuan thought the same way, "Then you take care."

"I'll be heading off now. I'll leave the Jiang Clan to you to hold back."

"Relax, I am the clan leader of the Sima Clan, afterall. With me around, how could the JIang Clan do anything!" Sima Zhi Yuan said confidently.

"..."

Sima He Shun looked speechlessly at him. He secretly thought about how it was precisely because he was here that he was worried!

However, the Jiang Clan wouldn't dare to act against them now anyway. Even if they made a bigger commotion, the Sima Clan wouldn't be afraid.

He was just afraid that Jiang Xue would lead his people and cause some internal strife.

He glanced at Sima You Yue. Perhaps, with her there, Jiang Xue wouldn't dare to say anything.

Sima Liu Xi was a genius of that generation that Jiang Xue treasured greatly. Otherwise, he wouldn't run over the moment he got wind of any news.

It seemed like he still had to make some arrangements before he left.

Sima You Yue seemed to notice. Although Sima Zhi Yuan was the clan leader, Sima He Shun was still the person who managed most of the things in the clan. It was no wonder he dared to say things like becoming the person to get the inheritance.

When all was said and done, Sima You Yue sent them out. When they opened the door, they saw Yin Lang, who was being blocked by Miao Xi Hua.

"City Lord Lang, I know you have the antidote to the Hundred Days of Sleep. I beg you, we will give you whatever you want!" Miao Xi Hua stood in front of Yin Lang and blocked him, with her words sounding earnest and sincere. She looked like a mother who was deathly worried for her daughter.

Tsk Tsk, if it wasn't because he had met her before, he might have been moved by her expression.

However, this Yin Lang was not someone who was easily moved.

At this moment, he had already gone back to the way he was a few days ago. You couldn't even tell that he was someone who had once ran over to the mountains to drink to a drunken stupor. He looked sideways at Miao Xi Hua and said apathetically, "Since you know that I am the City Lord of Tangerine City, you should also know that you have nothing that I need. Get lost!"

After saying this, he walked past her and walked towards Sima You Yue.

"City Lord Lang, I beg you! I can't survive without my daughter!" Miao Xi Hua grabbed onto his hand and knelt down, "City Lord Lang, I beg you, I only have one daughter. She has so much talent, she can't die!"

Yin Lang pulled his hand away from her with a wave and said icily, "What does it have to do with me whether or not she dies? Scram!"

Miao Xi Hua didn't think that he would actually just toss her away like that. At a moment's carelessness, she was sent flying and she fell heavily on the floor.

"Cough cough-" She choked on the dust that she had sent flying, and she coughed nonstop.

"If you keep harassing me, I won't let you off so lightly." Yin Lang looked at her from the corner of his eyes and left with large strides. He came in front of Sima You Yue's place.

Sima You Yue appraised him and said with a smile, "You look better like this. Come in."

Miao Xi Hua raised her head and watched as Yin Lang entered Sima You Yue's room. She was so enraged that she couldn't control the blood rising in her throat and she vomitted out a mouthful of blood.

"That bitch! She must have been the one who told City Lord Lang not to give me the medicine!" She cursed bitterly.

"Madame!" A servant girl came over and supported her as she stood.

"That bitch! Bich!" Miao Xi Hua cursed and swore as she stood up. She looked at Sima You Yue's tightly shut door with seething hatred.

"Madame, this Lang Zhong is simply too unreasonable. It's one thing not to give you the pill formula, but how could he toss you to the ground!" The servant girl said with dissatisfaction.

"Shut up!" Miao Xi Hua berated the servant girl, "If beating me once would make it so he would give me the pill formula, then it would have been worth it!"

"But he's not giving it to us now. What are we going to do!" Seeing that everyone around her was getting better but Sima Liu Xi was still lying on the bed without any reaction. As the personal servant girl of the Young Miss, she was anxious as well.

"Go back first.' Miao Xi Hua rubbed her bottom and said, "I definitely have to find a way to obtain the antidote!"

"Madame, are you saying…"

"Shut up!" Miao Xi Hua glared at the servant girl. She turned around and led the others away.

Inside, Sima You Yue could sense that the people outside had left. She said, "It seems like trouble will continue to find you!"

"Isn't it because you caused trouble for me?" Yin Lang rolled his eyes.

"What does this have to do with me? I'm not the one who forced you to bring out the pill formula." Sima You Yue took out a spirit fruit that was around the same size as a grape. She placed it on the table and said, "This is good for hangovers."

Yin Lang didn't hold back, took one and ate it, saying, "If you didn't poison her daughter, why would she chase after me."

"It's not like I didn't want to give her the antidote. She's the one who doesn't want me to cure it." Sima You Yue said, "And at the end, Jiang Xue wanted to kill me, so why should I rescue my enemy's granddaughter? I'm not that good natured!"

"Aren't you afraid of the Sima Clansmen pressuring you?"

"What is there to be afraid of? I'm not from the Sima Clan. They can chirp and complain all they want, and I just have to ignore them." Sima You Yue said, "This is the good thing about not going home."

"So you plan never to return?"

"I will one day. Father does have some regrets towards the clan. It's just that I have things to do before going back." Sima You Yue said.

"How did you inhibit the Hundred Days of Sleep?"

Sima You Yue told him the method to suppress it, and even explained the method of some acupuncture to him.

After speaking, Yin Lang fell into contemplation and said, "This method is truly mysterious. This means that you are really proficient at medicine."

Sima You Yue rolled her eyes at him, "Save me the flattery. Tell me, apart from wanting to know how I did it, what other motives do you have?"
