1472 Whisper some private words(Chapter preview)

Sima Qing pulled Jiang Ping into the air and those on the ground could only hear the occasional rumbling sounds.

As the battle continued overhead, those on the ground did not rest as they began to fight again.

Jiang Yun Long brought many men with him, but it was not comparable to the number of the Sima Family. It wasn't much even when they added Jiang Xue's branch to the mix.

The Jiang clansmen initially believed that their ancestor would be able to beat the Sima Family's ancestor into submission.

However, the Ancestor of the Sima Family actually advanced in rank!

This was far beyond their expectations. Their ancestor was unable to advance in rank, so how did he manage to?

No matter what the reason, the outcome was the same.

The Jiang clansmen started to become disheartened.

Without the ability to fight, the battle ended quickly. Every single member of Jiang Xue's branch was killed or caught.

Jiang Yun Long's body was badly injured, and was protected in the centre, surrounded by guards. Although he had not yet been captured and was resisting, he was surrounded by the Sima Family and could go nowhere.

"Sima Zhi Yuan, don't think that you've won just like that. As long as our Ancestor returns, you're all dead!"

"Pah, you're still dreaming at this point in time!" Sima Zhi Yuan was also a little injured, but he was in a much better condition than Jiang Yun Long was.

It was only now that Sima You Yue walked out from the protection of her spirit beasts. Sima Liu Xuan and Mu Si remained in the centre of their protection so that they wouldn't be afraid of the Jiang Family's retaliation.

"Great Grandfather, please eat some medicine." She walked over and handed SIma Zhi Yuan some pills.

Sima Zhi Yuan ate the pills and the chaotic Qi in his body calmed down a lot.

Sima You Yue cast her gaze upon Jiang Xue and said, "Although Sima Tu and Miao Xi Hua are the ones who acted against us, I'm guessing that you did a lot of work in the shadows?"

Jiang Xue looked away, refusing to meet her gaze.

She was just a tiny little junior but she actually dared to look at her in such a manner!

Sima You Yue didn't mind her attitude and said, "It's such a pity that there are some people that you can touch, but some that you should never."

After speaking, she turned around and walked away without a care for her reaction.

Time seemed to pass slowly. It was obvious that not much time had passed, but to Jiang Yun Long, it was like a few centuries had gone by.

As for Sima Zhi Yuan and the others, they were extremely leisurely.

There was no need to concern themselves with an outcome that was already set in stone.

Before half a day had passed, Sima Qing returned alone and the outcome went without saying.

Sima Qing glanced at Jiang Ping before saying, "Handle this well." Then he grabbed Sima You Yue's shoulder and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Master!"

"Yue Yue!"

Mu Si and the beasts cried out when they saw that Sima You Yue disappeared.

"Relax, the ancestor will not do anything to her." Sima Zhi Yuan assured them, "They'll naturally return once they finish their talk."

"Really?" Mu Si was still very worried.

"Of course. When have I ever lied?" Sima Zhi Yuan rapped his knuckle on Mu Si's head, rather peeved that he doubted him.

"Get rid of the traitors!" He ordered his clansmen before crossing his arms behind him and leaving.

He had no need to get personally involved for these things.

Sima Liu Xuan left along with him. After what happened today, nobody dared to do anything to him.

As for what happened today, everyone with eyes could see that Sima You Yue was the catalyst for all that happened.

If she had not led the Miao Family over, it would not have enticed Jiang Xue and the others to appear. If she did not kill Sima Tu, it would not have evoked Jiang Xue's ire and lured out the Jiang Family.

The Jiang Family had been coveting the Sima Family all these years, and the Sima Family had also been trying to deal with this hidden danger.

However, no matter who wanted to act, they first needed an excuse. As for her, she had given the Sima Family an excuse like this!

With this kind of powerful daughter, even if Sima Liu Xuan had no spirit energy now, they would not dare to touch him.

Sima Qing had taken Sima You Yue to the back mountains of the Sima Family.

Aside from Crimson Flame, she didn't have any spirit beasts by her side. However, she was not worried about her safety.

"Why did you bring me here?" She asked.

"How rude. You won't even greet your Ancestor!" Sima Qing said this, but he didn't actually mind.

"I'm not a part of the Sima Family anyway." Sima You Yue huffed. She wasn't a Sima clansmen, so he wasn't her Ancestor.

"Little Brat, you are very bothered about what happened that year." Sima Qing said.

"Of course I do. If not for what happened, my family of three would not have been separated for so many years, and I would not have had to grow up all alone." Sima You Yue said.

Although the body she inhabited was already fifteen years old, her route was paved with trouble and it wasn't something an average person could deal with.

"There are some things we cannot change." Sima Qing said, "That year, I had told it to your father, but he did not pass on my words."

Sima You Yue did not feel like discussing what happened that year. The things had already gone, and could not be changed, so there was no point discussing it.

"Why did you bring me here?"

"Of course, I brought you here to acknowledge your roots." Sima Qing said seriously

Sima You Yue looked at him through narrow eyes, "Do you know what my condition is?"

"Isn't he your condition?" Sima Qing looked at the person walking down the mountain.

Sima You Yue lowered her head and looked over. She saw Sima Zhi Yuan leading Sima Liu Xuan inside.

This meant that he wanted to let her and her father enter the genealogical records.

"And my mother." She said.

"Alright." Sima Qing agreed without hesitation.

"Why didn't you bring me here with my father?" She asked.

"Of course, that is because we have secrets to speak of." Sima Qing looked at her secretively.

She subconsciously took a step back and looked at him suspiciously, "What did you want to say?"

"Nothing much, actually. I wanted to ask you whether you were willing to take over the Sima Family? I believe that, as long as you're willing, the Sima Family will reach great heights under your hands." Sima Qing looked at her with extreme hopefulness.

"I am not willing!" Sima You Yue rejected him immediately.

"Why not? Although the Sima Family is not very powerful, it does have some standing in the inner region."

"I still don't want it!" Sima You Yue shook her head resolutely, "You sly foxes, don't even think of letting me pick up the shambles! I don't like dealing with these messy things."

Sima Qing pursed his lips. Shambles? Messy things? How could she describe her family that way!

However, she was the only one from the younger generation that he liked!

Sima You Yue was afraid that he would really force the responsibility onto her shoulders and said, "I know, you want the Family to become stronger. If we can use me, then I will do my best, but don't think that I'll take over. Otherwise, I'll disappear when the time comes and you'll never find me."

"Do you not have a single bit of interest?"

"I still have things that I want to do. I don't have any time to waste on behalf of the family." Sima You Yue siad, "Once my father's wounds are healed, I have to look for my mother. I planned this long ago. Think about it, do you really think that it's the best idea to put the Sima Family in my hands?"
