2073 Parting ways(Chapter preview)

After a few days of turmoil in Happiness City, Nan Yu Miao appeared. When they saw that sullen face, the people of Happiness City remembered that they hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Have you still not found the Young City Lord?" Nan Yu Miao's voice was hoarse with a sense of chill.

"No, the people who left with the Young City Lord that night are all dead. We don't even know what he went to do." The Head Steward said.

Nan Yu Miao's face sank: "Didn't you ask him?"

"I did, but the Young Master said that this matter is uncertain, so he had to go and see for himself. If it is true, then he can give the City Lord a big gift. Before he could be sure, he didn't want to say what the matter was about." The Head Steward replied.

He didn't tell anyone where he had gone or who his target was. Now everyone around him was dead, there was no clue as to who had captured him at all.

The only thing they knew was that those people had died under the tombstone.

Nan Yu Miao frowned: "Did this idea come to him suddenly?"

"Yes."

"What people did he see that day?"

"There was a party that day, but it was the same as before."

"Bring me all the people who attended the party that day!"

"Yes." The Steward wanted to tell him that those people had already been checked, but upon seeing the gloomy face of the City Lord, he swallowed his words.

Forget it, the City Lord wanted to find a breakthrough to calm his worried heart, he had better not agitate him.

Soon, all the people who had attended the party that day had been brought over, Luo Yi and Sima You Yue were no exception.

"Don't worry, don't be afraid of what I said the other day. As long as we don't provoke him, she won't do anything to us." Luo Yi looked at Sima You Yue. Her expression was a little different from usual, and he spoke to comfort her.

She felt three black lines slide down the back of her head, where did the guy get the impression that she was scared and worried?

Behind Luo Yi, Luo Liu's eyes rolled. She was obviously excited, how did he interpret that into fear and worry? It seemed that there was something wrong with Young Master's eyes. When they got back, they had better get his eyes checked.

But…

He glanced at Sima You Yue, and Sima You Yue understood the worry in his eyes. She thought for a while, then said: "Luo Yi, let's part ways here."

"Part here? Why? We are going to the City Lord's Manor soon." Luo Yi cried.

"I suddenly remembered something and I can't go to the City Lord's Manor." Sima You Yue said.

"What is it? Do you need my help?" Luo Yi asked her.

"No, when the time comes, just say that you and I are not familiar with each other." Sima You Yue said, "If you say that, you'll be doing me a favor."

She wouldn't feel bad if she didn't implicate him, it was indeed helpful.

"You Yue, you…"

"It's decided, goodbye!" After Sima You Yue had finished speaking, she and Wu Lingyu turned and left. Without squeezing through the crowd, Luo Yi was unable to chase after them.

Luo Yi was a little surprised. He thought that Sima You Yue would use them, he hadn't expected her to leave so straightforwardly.

Luo Yi wanted to chase after them, but he was stopped: "Young Master, no. The people from the City Lord's Manor are here."

Luo Yi shook his arm rigorously and struggled out of his grip: "So what if they're here, why are you grabbing me? You Yue has something to do, I am going to help her."

"Young Master, do you not remember her words earlier?" Luo Liu held him tightly and refused to let go.

"No matter what she said, I can't ignore her like that, she is my friend!" Luo Yi said, "Something must be wrong for her to leave so suddenly like that. How can I not help her under these kinds of circumstances?"

"Young Master, she is fine. You don't know what's going on with her or where she's gone. If you go looking for her rashly like this, it might backfire instead. Instead of helping her, you might cause trouble for her."

"This…" Luo Yi hesitated. Luo Liu's words were a possibility.

"Young Master, think back, did she look anxious before she left?"

Luo Yi thought for a while and then shook his head: "No."

"Since she didn't, it means that she isn't worried about this matter. If she really needs help, she will tell you." Luo Liu said, "Moreover, didn't she tell you to pretend to be unfamiliar with her before she left and that counts as helping her? Maybe our relationship with her is holding her back from what she needs to do."

Luo Yi was silent. Luo Liu looked at him abysmally and wondered if he had heard his words. When he saw Luo Yi's expression had relaxed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't that he had any opinions against Sima You Yue, it was just that they didn't have many people to protect the Young Master. Therefore, he had to think about the safety of his Young Master.

Moreover, Nan Yu Miao's background was very complicated. He had a very close relationship with a commander. If they had any implication with him, it would be very troublesome for them in the future.

Of course, if Sima You Yue hadn't left of her own accord, they wouldn't have driven her away either. However, her leaving out of her own initiative made him think twice.

"Let's go in." Whether it was because of Sima You Yue's departure or Luo Liu's words, Luo Yi was a little out of spirits and his mood was somewhat lower.

Luo Liu was a little shocked. No matter what the reason was, he hadn't expected that his Young Master would care so much about Sima You Yue in such a short time they had spent together. He had also never seen his Young Master care so much about anyone in the past!

As soon as they had entered the City Lord's Manor, soldiers stepped forward immediately and followed them, it was so-called protection. What kind of protection was needed in the City Lord's Manor? It was just an imprisonment in disguise!

However, in the face of Nan Yu Miao's murderous face, no one dared to say anything to resist. As long as it didn't affect their safety, it was better to suffer a little than to lose their lives.

The Head Steward counted the number of people and found that there were fewer people than the ones that had attended the party that day and immediately reported the matter.

"Do you know the identities of those two people?"

"I think they are spiritualists. They came with the Young Master of the spiritualists and Luo Liu that day. But today they've not come with them."

"Then tell Luo Liu to come and clarify this matter with me."

"Yes."

Luo Yi and Luo Liu came before Nan Yu Miao.

"Elder Liu, it's been a long time." Nan Yu Miao's horse voice was chilling and made one's hair on their skin stand on end.

"It's been a hundred years since we've seen each other since the last time we parted." Luo Liu recounted the days as if they had a very good friendship.

"One of us is in the East and one of us is in the West. Why have you come to my Happiness City?"

"It's time for our Young Master to come out for his experience. I followed him and came out for a walk." When Luo Liu saw Nan Yu Miao staring straight at him, he smiled: "My Young Master is a little petty and wanted to compare who is more handsome, him or your son. That's why we came here."

"That's why you killed my son?"
