Chapter 1638: Untitled
When Sima You Yue heard Xu Jin’s and Ge Lang’s name, her heart jumped.
Her masters were here!
“Are these people really strong?” She asked.
“Of course, otherwise, those patrols wouldn’t suffer so much loss so many times.” The old man showed admiration for the two people.
How many people would give up and leave after coming in decades? At least he wouldn’t.
“Do you know where the two people live?” Sima You Yue tried to look normal, but only she knew how anxious she was at this time.
“I know, of course I know.” The little old man pointed to the two courtyards not far away. “They lived in those courtyards before.”
The two courtyards were not far from here, so it was convenient for her to find them.
But before the joy in her heart was revealed, the following words by the little old man coldy crushed it.
“Unfortunately, they were taken away. It’s probably for the worse.” The little old man said regretfully.
“Why? Are they not living in the courtyards now?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Mm, they were taken away yesterday.”
“Taken away? To where? Isn’t this where people are imprisoned?”
“They went to the torture room.” The little old man put the teacup to his lips. After saying this, he placed the teacup down; the same amount of tea remained.
“Torture room, what kind of place is it?” Sima You Yue had an ominous feeling when she heard it. She was worried for them.
“The torture room is full of all kind of kind torture tools. Anyone who commits a crime will to be taken to the torture room and handed over to the prison head. Those who enter the torture room who want to teach them a lesson, and when the latter come out with a missing layer of skin. If you commit a big crime, aiyah, there is no return.”
Sima You Yue was taken aback. “So what did Xu Jin and Ge Lang commit to be taken there?”
“What else could that be, running away with people.” The little old man replied. “I don’t know what will happen to them this time.”
“Again?”
“They have been in several times before and this happens every few years. Everytime, they would go in and out....” The little old man shook his head. “I’ve seen it happened several times before. It’s really horrible. I don’t know what it will be like this time.”
“Will it be life threatening or crippling?” Sima You Yue clenched her hands unconsciously. Her nails almost pinched into her skin.
“Not really.” The little old man answered. “Do you know why the Hao Clan imprisoned us here? Why would they let us become crippled?”
If they become crippled, Xu Jin would no longer be able to refine pills and Ge Lang would no longer teach medicine to his students.
Thinking about it, Sima You Yue did not immediately become irritable. Otherwise, she would overturn the island immediately!
“By the way, grandpa, do you know here the torture room is?”
“I haven’t been there, how would I know this?”
“When will they be back?”
“In three days.”
“How do you know?”
“Because it takes them five days to go in and out every time. This time estimate is no exception.” The little old man said. “But fortunately, they took special care of them, even though they went in a few times. It wasn’t life threatening. Ijf it was ordinary people, they would have died long ago.”
“If you have the opportunity, you can ask them. Maybe there is a reason. If we know this, we can protect our lives.” Sima You Yue suggested.
“Oh, little girl, you’ll have to endure the loneliness! Here, even finding someone to talk to is a luxury. Many people have been tortured crazy by loneliness.” The little old man said.
“You have a good mentality.” Sima You Yue chuckled.
“Heh heh, I know someone will come save us. I am waiting. If there is hope, I can overcome this loneliness. No matter what, people should not give up on hope.”
Sima You Yue thought it was rational too. She echoed his words and continued to ask him questions.
The two chatted from noon until it was dark. Perhaps it had been a long time that he hadn’t spoken to anyone, the little old man said a lot more than a talkative person would do.
Sima You Yue was a good listener because she wanted to understand the situation on the island.
After the two left, she returned to her courtyard. Her face sank and the smile disappeared.
As soon as she thought of master and teacher being tortured, she wanted to destroy the Hao Clan!
The Hao Clan had better pray that the two of them were alright, otherwise she didn’t know what she would do.
“Do you want to check the location of the torture room?” Mi Er asked out loud.
“Yes, be careful.” Sima You Yue did not reject his proposal this time. When Mi Er wanted to walk outside, he was blocked by a barrier from inside.
“How dare you block your grandfather; you are not worthy!” Mi Er roared. He turned into thick smoke and sank into the ground. Although he dived deep into the ground, he was able to get back out.
Mi Er went out for a whole night without discovering the location of the torture room and was almost discovered by an old guy. He wasn’t afraid of confronting them, but worried that he would affect Sima You Yue’s plan. He found a place to avoid the old guy.”
What was a reason that Mi Er could not find the torture room. The island was neither big nor small, so there were a lot of hidden places. Mi Er had just arrived, so it was normal to find it.
“Even you can’t find it. We can only wait.” She sighed.
“I’m sorry.” Mi Er was a little discouraged. He thought he would be able to do it.
“Don’t say silly stuff!” Sima You Yue rubbed his head. “Since you didn’t find it, it’s probably not here.”
“Not here?”
“It’s my speculation.” Sima You Yue said. Mi Er wanted to go again, but she stopped him. “If it’s on the outer islands, which there are thousands around it, how long will it take to find them one by one. It’s a waste of time, and it’s easy to get exposed.”
“What are you going to do?”
“Wait for someone to send the message.”
“....”
Was there such a dumb person?
Mi Er didn’t believe it. But by the next day, someone really came.
Sima You Yue quietly arranged a spirit barrier when the person came in. She asked Mi Er to put the person down without waiting for him to speak. Then she used her divine sense to retrieve all his memories.
Then, she called out Thousand Resonance to pretend to be herself as she carried the course into the Spirit Pagoda.
“What are you going to do? Little Spirit asked when he saw her appear in the alchemy room.
“Refining something to break the spirit barrier.”
