Sima You Yue and Bei Gong Tang were in the house chatting about the past. They had no idea that the news about the symbol Sima You Yue had left behind in Memory Restaurant had already been sent to Central via their special channels.
Inside a large house, a maid rushed about and entered a refined little house. She was stopped at the door by a guard.
“Where is the Young Master?” The servant girl asked.
“The Master is in closed door cultivation, battling to enter Divine Saint rank.” A guard replied, “Master ordered before he entered closed door cultivation that nobody was to disturb him. That is why, Young Lady Mu, it is better to wait for him to come out of seclusion if you have something to tell him.”
“Young Lady Mu, you have been taking charge and settling all the things of the restaurant all these years. You have rarely come to look for the Young Master, but what is it that requires such urgency?” Another guard said.
Mu Wen took out a pictographic stone and inserted her spirit energy. A ray of light shone from the pictographic stone and an image appeared in the air above it.
There was nobody in the picture, but there was a set of used cutlery. Despite that, the two guards were immediately stunned when they saw the image.
“This water mark…” The guard who spoke the last pointed at the water mark drawn on the table with shock.
“That’s right. This is one of the few marks that master had told us about.” Another guard, Qin Men, said.
Mu Wen stopped inserting spirit energy inside and the picture disappeared. “You know now why I was so anxious.”
“Young Mady Mu, where did you obtain this piece of news?” Qin Men asked.
“In the outer regions. Innumerable Green City in the south.” Mu Wen replied.
“Could it really be that the person has appeared?” Qin Hong said with disbelief, “Or is it just a coincidence?”
“Whether or not it is a coincidence, this is the first time it has happened in so many years. Think about how Master has been all these years…. At the very least, this gives him hope.”
“However, if this is just a coincidence, wouldn’t Master be even more disappointed?” Qin Hong felt some heartache for the Master.
“Take a look at this piece of news first.” Mu Wen took out a piece of paper and handed it to them. They saw the words on it and their eyes grew large.
“Sima You Yue? He’s called You Yue as well? But why would it be a guy?” Qin Hong cried out, “They’re both called You Yue. This is too much of a coincidence.”
‘Whether or not it is, it would be best to leave it for Master to decide for himself.” Mu Wen said, “Those over there have already gone to check on the situation. They should get some results soon.”
“We have no idea why Master keeps on persevering. The Ximen family has already been exterminated. We even saw with our own eyes, the carcass of Ximen You Yue’s body. Why does he still insist that she is alive? He has even spent so much energy and effort, opening so many restaurants in the central and outer regions to find out news about her.” Qin Hong didn’t understand.
“Master has his own reasons and thinking. We just need to help him.” Mu Wen said, “We don’t know when he will emerge. I better wait here.”
Mu Wen sat in a pavilion in the courtyard, looking at the pictograph stone in her hands.
In the past, she had followed after Qin Mo. She had also seen Ximen You Yue a few times. The symbol that she had drawn with water gave her an extremely familiar feeling. It didn’t seem like it was just chance.
However, she also believed that Ximen You Yue was dead. She was the one who had snatched her dead body back from that person’s hands. It was already devoid of any breath. She had also seen her master bury Ximen You Yue’s body with his own hands. How could it… now…
News that the men from the Innumerable Green Palace had been beaten by those in front of the Xuan Yuan Pavilion quickly spread throughout Innumerable Green City. Many were prepared to see You Yue and the others get taken away, however, nothing happened even as the day went by.
Could it be that those from the Innumerable Green Palace just let it go like that?
Even Sima You Yue and the others were extremely curious.They thought that the Innumerable Green Palace men would come quickly to look for trouble, but the past few days had been extremely quiet.
Actually, the real reason was that Xia Ying Ying and the others had been confined, and had no time to make trouble for Sima You Yue and the others.
Also, the most recent reason was because the shopkeeper of Memory Restaurant had said something to the Innumerable Green Palace’s Vice Master about the younger generation becoming more and more arrogant.
When the vice palace master went back, he immediately got someone to tell him about what happened that day. Once he found out about what they had done in the morning, he threw them all into confinement.
“Vice Palace Master, what do you mean by this? What did Ying Ying and the others do that you actually confined them!” A man with a large beard ran into the palace of the vice palace master and asked.
The vice palace master explained everything and said, “the younger generation of the Innumerable Green Palace is actually so rude and unbridled, using the name of the Innumerable Green Palace to bully others and run rampant. It is already considered a light sentence that they were only confined. Vice Palace master, as a branch palace master, you have failed in educating your daughter. You have nurtured Ying Ying to this state. You should be heading back to reflect on your actions. What are you still doing that you come here and question me?”
As Xia Zhong was chastised by the Vice Palace head, his expression turned ugly. However, he refused to believe that his daughter had done anything wrong.
She was someone from the Innumerable Green Palace, so those lower class should give in to her. They not only took her room, but beat her up. This shamed them in front of all those commoners.
It went without saying that it was only this kind of father that would result in this kind of daughter!
Xia Zhong went back to his own palace, and the moment he entered, his beautiful wife grabbed him by the ear and scolded him for not being able to get their precious daughter released. Right now, they were still confined in that damp and dark place.
“Useless old thing. Your daughter is suffering such hardship there but you were unable to get her out. What kind of father are you?”
Wu Qiao Qiao was pretty, but she was like a red hot chili pepper. She doted on her daughter the most, so when she heard that her daughter had been thrown into confinement, she got Xia Zhong to look for the Vice Palace Master. She didn’t expect that, after waiting so long, he actually came back without her. As such, she started to scold him.
Xia Zhong had always treated her like a treasure after wedding such a beautiful wife. After giving birth to such a beautiful and smart daughter who was talented to boot, she even became an alchemist and was permitted to enter a sect. He gave her a sacred beast and pampered her endlessly.
Initially, he was already angry that he didn’t manage to rescue his daughter. Now that he had been scolded by his wife, he was even more enraged and the hatred towards Sima You Yue and the others intensified.
“Qiao Qiao, don’t be angry anymore. Now that the Vice Palace Master has set the punishment, we have no way to change it.” Xia Zhong said.
“Then what do we do about our daughter?”
“It’s a good thing that the length of confinement set up the Vice Palace Head is not long. Ying Ying will be able to come out in a month.”
“What on earth is happening?”
“Hear me out…”
Xia Zhong told Wu Qiao Qiao what happened as she slapped the table in anger.
“This Memory Restaurant. That our Ying Ying wants to eat there is already giving them respect. He actually dares to join with a group of commoners to bully my daughter! Take some people with you and go get rid of those assholes. I want to see if the Innumerable Green Palace or Memory Restaurant is more powerful. Let’s also get rid of the others. They should be killed for daring to harm my daughter!”
“You can’t do that.” Xia Zhong siad, “Vice Palace Master had said that I am not to do anything more.”
“How did I get married to such a useless thing? He didn’t allow us to do anything openly, but don’t you have a place there that doesn’t have anything to do with the Innumerable Green Palace? Can’t you think of something over there?”
Xia Zhong’s eyes shone when he heard it, saying, “Qiao Qiao, you’re brilliant! I’ll head over there to discuss some things!”
