Fu Xi saw Sima You Yue’s serious gaze and beamed at her with a light smile, “I really like you! It makes me really happy to be able to help you.”
Sima You Yue rubbed his head, “I will definitely find a way to solve your problem.”
“Mm, I believe you!” Fu Xi also nodded seriously.
He believed her, a person he had barely gotten to know. He would have found it strange in the past, but right now, he really did believe it.
If those people back there knew about it, their eyeballs would definitely have bulged.
Very quickly, Mo Yu came back and told her that they could set off. Black Shadow and Huan were a little surprised as to why they would leave so quickly. However, they did not ask anything and just left with her.
Those in the Palace knew that she wanted to learn through experience before coming back and thought that they would not see her for a few tens of years. They didn’t expect her to return so quickly.
“Young Princess!” Xi Yu looked at Sima You Yue, incredibly happy.
“Young Princess has returned!” Leng Yun ran over excitedly and bowed towards her. She bowed towards her and stood in front, unsure where to put her hands.
“Young Princess.” Yang Hui and the others had more restraint, but the clear smile on their lips was evident of how they really felt.
Sima You Yue saw that they were all doing well and were not missing any arms or legs and could finally stop worrying about them.
“They didn’t come and cause you any trouble, right?”
“No. because Ghost King sent word that, before you left, you said that nobody was allowed into Youthful Palace. Earlier on, His Highness wanted to come, but Ghost Concubine’s men called him back.” Xi Yu replied.
“Oh?” Sima You Yue didn’t think that even Ghost Concubine would call Yu Hao back. However, she could guess what she was thinking.
If she killed her while she was outside, the heavens were large and the emperor far. The Ghost King would not be able to do anything to her anyway. After all, he would have no evidence. However, if they came to cause trouble for her in the palace, under the eyes of the Ghost King, it would be difficult to give an account.
Furthermore, standing from her position, she merely had a few palace maids and was not worth her time.
“Young Princess, did you not initially send word saying that you would only return after gaining some experience outside? Why have you returned so quickly?” Yu Xi asked instead because she did not want Sima You Yue to worry about them.
“Because something happened, so I came back earlier.” Sima You Yue siad. “Is Grandfather still in closed door cultivation?”
“That’s right, ever since Young Princess left, King went into closed door cultivation. He didn’t even come out to judge the inter-dynasty competition that passed. This was something that had never happened before.” Leng Yun said, “In the past, no matter how busy he was, even if he was far away, he would rush back to be the judge. However, this time, perhaps because he senses that he is going to advance in rank soon, he has been in closed door cultivation. However, that doesn’t really seem to be the case. King is already half a step into the emperor rank. He can’t advance any further than that.”
That was true. Based on the way the world saw it, this was really the case. There were no emperors in this realm. After advancing half a step into the emperor rank, they would have no way to advance in rank anymore. This was something everyone in this world knew.
It was precisely because of this that Ghost Concubine wasn’t worried at all that the Ghost King had gone into closed door cultivation. No matter how hard he cultivated, he would have no way to improve.
That was why, if he wanted to torment himself, then he could go ahead. In any case, if he wasn’t around, she had more monopoly of power.
Just like the Dynasty Competition before. In the end, most of the people who participated were her people. Many who support the king have also flocked under her banner. Once he’s out from the Dynasty Competition, he’ll be even more helpless towards her.
Sima You Yue was the only one who knew that there was an emperor rank in this world. That was because Feng Ru Yan had used a secret method to ascend to the emperor rank. Although it was not acknowledged by heaven, it was still truly an emperor rank. Since she could do it, so could he.
However, before he had managed to succeed, she definitely couldn’t say a word about it.
Furthermore, it was better for them to think this way. At least they would not interrupt his cultivation.
“So you are actually the Young Princess of the Ghost Realm.” Fu Xi looked around Youthful Palace, saying, “Although the things here look simple, they’re all treasures. Your position in the Ghost Realm is rather high, eh! Does that mean you can do whatever you want in Ghost Realm?”
“Do you think I look like that kind of person?” Sima You Yue smiled.
“Nope, you look like you have a very big enemy.” Fu Xi said.
“You guessed it right. That enemy is in the palace right now.”
“What? In the Palace?”
“That’s right, the most powerful woman in the palace!”
“What?! You- You- Then why did you run back? Aren’t you looking for death?”
“Relax, she dares not touch me here.” Sima You Yue said with confidence.
“Why so?”
“You just need to know this.” Sima You Yue said, “But that’s only when I’m here. When I’m outside it’s a different story.”
“Young Princess, this child is…” Yu Xi asked.
“His name is Fu Xi, a child I got to know when I was outside. He’s going to stay here for a while.?Yu Xi, make arrangements for him and Lingyu to stay together.’ Sima You Yue instructed.
“Yes, Young Princess.” Yu Xi was very curious about Fu Xi, but seeing that Sima You Yue had no plans to tell her about him, she did not ask any further. Instead, she said to Fu Xi, “Little boy, I’ll take you to rest.”
Fu Xi looked at Sima You Yue, a little reluctant to leave. Sima You Yue said to Black Shadow and Huan, “You guys stay with him. Fu XI, aren’t you curious as to why Ghost Concubine dares not to touch me in the palace? They’ll tell you if you go with them.”
Although Fu Xi didn’t really want to leave her, he was very curious why thai was so. Hence, he could only leave with Leng Yun and the others.
After he had left, Sima You Yue said to Yang Hui, “Can we look for Grandfather now?”
“King has been in seclusion all this time and refuses to meet anyone. Although you have returned, I do not know whether or not he will meet you.” Yang Hui said with uncertainty.
The King seemed to be in strict seclusion this time, refusing to see anyone. He didn’t even appear at the great meeting and he heard that he didn’t meet Ghost Concubine the last time she went to look for him, which meant that it was even more unlikely that he would meet anyone else.
However, Young Princess was very special to King. So, he was unsure whether or not he would meet her.
Sima You Yue was a little hesitant. The cardinal points divine seal was very important to her and she really couldn’t wait to find out the results of it. However, the cultivation was very important to Ghost King. Also, she didn’t know which point he was at in his cultivation. Whether or not he was in a crucial point. If she interrupted him at this point, it would delay him. That wouldn’t do either.
After hesitating for a moment, she still decided to head over to where the Ghost King was cultivating. At this time, the guards at the door had changed shifts and bowed to her respectfully when they saw her.
“Young Princess.”
“Is Grandfather still in seclusion?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Yes.”
“Did Grandfather come out at all ever since I left?”
“No.”
“Oh.” She looked towards the direction of the door and hesitated. In the end, she did not go over. She said to the guards, “Once Grandfather is out, tell him that I have returned.”
“Yes, Young Princess.”
Sima You Yue once again looked over with reluctance before leaving sadly.
It was still better to wait for him to emerge before talking about this.
