2050 Request(Chapter preview)

He really knew, Sima You Yue said secretly.

"Uncle, what are you talking about?" Xiao Ling looked at Xi Er Mo suspiciously.

"You're stupid so you can't tell." Xi Er Mo said coldly: "Do you think she came to look for you yesterday with no ulterior motives?"

"Isn't it because she ate the food I prepared and she didn't think it's delicious, that's why?" Xiao Ling asked suspiciously.

"Ask her." Xi Er Mo said.

Having been exposed, Sima You Yue didn't deny it and said apologetically: "I did really just want to cause trouble with you at first and use this to get the attention of the Honorable Xi Er."

"And then?" Xiao Ling asked.

"Huh? And then what?" Sima You Yue asked.

"What happens after you get his attention? You guided me in cooking."

"Naturally I will teach you wholeheartedly." Sima You Yue said.

If he hadn't agreed it was fine, but once he had agreed then he would be treated like her disciple.

"Then there's nothing else." Xiao Ling said: "You're still my Master."

"That's all?"

"That's all."

"Aren't you angry anymore?"

"Why should I be angry? You were right from the beginning. I didn't use the ingredients properly and I was being irresponsible doing that." Xiao Ling said, "Besides, you did teach me seriously afterwards. I learnt a lot last night. So it doesn't matter what your original intention was."

Sima You Yue and Fu Xi stared at him with their eyes wide open, what else could they say? His mentality was too good?

"Actually, I should thank you for your original intention, otherwise, I wouldn't have found a Master like you." Xiao Ling said with a smile, "Uncle, don't blame Master for this matter."

"I didn't plan to bring it up, otherwise she wouldn't have become your Master yesterday." Xi Er Mo said.

"Then why are you surprised, Uncle? You scared Master and I." Xiao Ling was very protective.

"Xiao Ling! How long have you known her, why are you protecting her like this?" Xi Er Mo's face was sullen and he looked a little scary.

"She is my Master, of course I will protect her!" Xiao Ling stood up protectively.

"Good for nothing!" Xi Er Mo's tone was light, it wasn't obvious whether he was angry or not. He looked at Sima You Yue and said: "You can talk about your purpose now. Why did you want to attract my attention? Who asked you to come? What's your purpose?"

"No one asked me to come here, I came by myself to look for you." Sima You Yue said.

"Oh? What is it that the Young Princess of the Ghost Realm would come to look for me personally?"

It had only been one night and he already knew her identity.

"Actually, I came to ask for help." Sima You Yue said, "I have a few men who are held captive by your people. I came to ask if you will be magnanimous and let them go."

"When did this happen? I remember that my Uncle hasn't captured anyone in a long time." Xiao Ling asked.

"A hundred years ago."

"As far as I know, you've only been in the Ghost Realm for less than fifty years. In that case, how can your guards have been captured here one hundred years ago?"

"They are not my guards. To be precise, they are my mother's people. Now that my mother is not around, I have to be responsible for her people." Sima You Yue didn't hide anything. It was useless to hide things from someone like Xi Er Mo anyway and it was better to explain everything honestly.

"Your mother's people…" The cold breath on Xi Er Mo's body lessened by a lot, "What are their names and where are they now? You should have found the information by now?"

"I know, they are…" Sima You Yue told him the information about Leng Feng and the others. Without Xi Er Mo having to give the orders, his guards had already left to take care of the matter.

"Master, so this is why you have come to look for Uncle." Xiao Ling said, "You should have said earlier, I could have gone and fetched the people for you."

"I didn't know that Honorable Xi Er was so easygoing." Sima You Yue said, "Because other parties are involved, I expected that there would be some fighting."

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Ling asked.

"This news was passed on to me by someone else because he wanted me to go and save those people in hopes that the Honorable Xi Er would fight with me, and better yet, fight with me personally so that he can kill me." Sima You Yue said.

"He's even schemed against me, how bold." Xi Er Mo sneered.

"Who is so vicious?!" Xiao Ling shouted, "Tell us, Master, and I will destroy him!"

"They're not that easy to deal with." Sima You Yue said, "I'm not saying that your strength is not good. But you are in the Abyss of Hell and he is the Ghost Concubine's subordinate carrying out the orders of the Ghost Concubine. Once you are involved, it will become a matter between the two regions."

"They've schemed against Uncle, we can't just ignore that. Right, Uncle?" Xiao Ling had wanted to gain approval, but when he saw Xi Er Mo glaring at him, he couldn't help but shrink back.

Xi Er Mo looked at his only nephew and felt helpless. When the child has grown up you are helpless against them. Now that his nephew is older, he was pitting against himself. Although he didn't tolerate this kind of thing, Xiao Ling had made him sound so noble because he wanted him to help Sima You Yue vent her anger.

"You Yue is very grateful to your Honorable for releasing Leng Feng and the others." Sima You Yue said, "Those people have schemed against me, so naturally I won't let them off."

"You don't want me to help you?"

"There's no need to trouble Your Honorable." Sima You Yue smiled, "However, You Yue can't stop Your Honorable if you want to do anything."

Lan He had brought Xi Er Mo into his scheming plan; if he was offended and wanted to do anything, it had nothing to do with her.

She didn't want to accept his help.

Xi Er Mo nodded, but didn't continue speaking about the matter.

"I heard that you are very good at making tea, I wonder if we can taste the tea made by you today?"

"Your Honorable has done such a huge favour for me, naturally, I can't refuse your request." You Yue and the others walked over to the rockery where she made a pot of tea for everyone. Xiao Ling found her method of brewing tea novel, and the taste of her tea was also very good. Therefore, he learnt the art of brewing tea from her at once.

While they were drinking tea, Leng Feng and six others were brought in. They knelt down the moment they saw Sima You Yue and said in excitement and shame: "Princess, are you alright?"

It had been many years since they had seen Yu Ke Luo, and as the both of them looked very much alike, they mistook her for her mother.

They were dressed in new clothes and their beards had been freshly shaven. However, their sunken cheeks and thin bodies were unable to hide the kind of life they had led over the years.

"I am not my mother, I am Sima You Yue, I'm my mother's daughter." Sima You Yue said.

"You are the Young Princess?"

They knew that Yu Ke Luo had a daughter in the Human Realm, however, they hadn't expected that the person they would see when they left that place would be her.

"I know you have a lot of queries, I will tell you everything in detail once we get back." Sima You Yue looked at Xi Er Mo and said: "Can I take them away now?"
