1002 Speculation of the near truth

The ranking of the word You should be exclusive to our clan.” Sima Yi Fei said, “Then he’s part of our clan?”

“Could be possible yet it’s also not possible.” Sima Shu Xin said, “After I found out the news, I asked Uncle Liu Feng and he said that we had once chased some clansmen out.”

“Then this Sima You Yue could possibly be the descendant of those clansmen who were chased out?” Sima Qi Qi questioned.

“I think the possibility is rather huge.” Sima Xin Shu said, “Moreover, I believe he knows our identities?”

“Why do you think in that way?”

“According to the news which I’ve found, he had been using his real name since he reached Cloud Sea City but to us, he used the name Si Yue, this meant that he doesn’t want us to know his real identity.” Sima Xin Shu analysed.

“He’s avoiding us.” Sima Yi Fei said.

“Even if he’s not a member of the same clan, surely he need not avoid us right?” Sima Qi Qi said, “We’re not wolves, tigers or leopards.”

“There must be some unknown reason that we don’t know of.” Sima Yi Yun said.

“Just nice for us to go investigate.” Sima Shu Xin was even more interested in Sima You Yue.

“Don’t forget the reason why we are here for.” Sima Yi Yun said.

” I won’t. But the alchemy contest is your matter, I’m merely here to join in the fun and on the way dog for some interesting matters to do.” Sima Yi Fei said.

He originally didn’t know how to perform alchemy so this time round, he merely joined them for fun. Armament refining was his forte instead.

Sima Yi Yun looked at her own brother and knew that his interest towards Sima You Yue had been completely piqued, especially after he found out that she was a descendant of the Sima clan.

“This afternoon he will be here to collect the necklace, just right, we can….” Sima Yi Fei held the necklace in his hand as he laughed.

“We’re not clear of the current situation right now so don’t you act recklessly. Moreover Uncle Liu Yun and Uncle Liu Feng are on their way here. He says he’ll be here to ascertain some things.” Sima Xin Shu said.

“The both of them are coming?” Sima Qi Qi trio were shocked beyond words, “What are they here for?”

“Don’t know.” Sima Xin Shu shook his head, “After I told them Sima You Yue’s name, they immediately said they will drop by to take a look. Perhaps their matter is related to him.”

“Surely not right? Even these two Buddhas are alarmed. This isn’t an ordinary matter.” Sima Yi Fei said.

“So don’t you dare to sprout nonsense, wait for Uncle Liu Yun they all to reach first then act. They should be able to reach here after mid-noon.” Sima Xin Shu reminded.

“I know.” Sima Yi Fei was slightly dejected.

“Xin Shu don’t you worry, if it was anyone else it is still ok but if it’s these two uncles, he wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.” Sima Qi Qi smiled as she poked fun of Yi Fei.

This fellow was usually frivolous but in front of these two uncles, he was extremely obedient.

“I’m thinking that’s the case too.” Sima Xin Shu nodded.

“Reporting to Young Master and Young Miss, Young Master Si Yue has arrived.” A guard came over and reported to the four of them.

“He’s here so early?”

It was still quite a while before noon time!

“Young Master Si Yue said Little Seven could not wait hence they headed over earlier.”

“Uncle Liu Feng said to let us wait for him. How about this, the three of us will go out first and say the necklace isn’t ready yet. You wait here for Uncle Liu Yun and Uncle Liu Feng.” Sima Xin Shu proposed.

“Alright.”

...

Sima You Yue and Little Seven were seated in the living room, one was drinking tea calmly while the other kept wriggling in the chair as she kept gazing outwards on and off.

The two maids standing behind them took a careful look at Sima You Yue.

This was that Seeker Spirit Master? Looked a little too young.

“My apologies, we’ve made you wait too long.”‘Sima Xin Shu, Sima Qi Qi and Sima Yi Yun walked in from outside as they cupped their hands in greeting.

Little Seven jumped down from her chair as she said happily, “My necklace…. Oh, that person isn’t around?”

“Ha ha, Yi Fei is still refining the necklace for you, he should be done in a bit. Wait here a little while .” Sima Xn Shu smiled as she said that.

Sima You Yue pulled Little Seven back as she said apologetically to Sima Xi Shu, “Don’t bother about her. Little Seven, come back here and sit properly.”

Sima Xin Shu trio went to their seats and immediately the maids served them tea.

“He was delayed for a while to settle things after the stones were opened so he will be out a little later. But I think it should be soon.”

“It’s us who are here early. Little Seven can’t sit still in the guesthouse inn and insisted on coming over.” Sima You Yue smiled as she said that.

“Looks like Young Miss Little Seven really likes that spirit stone very much so she couldn’t wait any further.” Sima Yi Yun said.

“That’s the first spirit stone which she had that’s not too bad, the colour and look is not bad looking so she likes it very much.”

“Right, speaking of selecting stones, the ore stones which you picked for us yesterday really gave us an eye-opener!” Sima Xin Shu said.

“Why, surely not all of it had nothing right?” Sima You Yue looked at their slightly strange expressions thinking that surely it couldn’t be, some of it were chosen by her seriously.

“No. It’s the rate of the stones which you chose that’s too shocking.”

“How many?” Sima You Yue thought if it was actually too many?

“Seven.” Sima Yi Yun said.

“Seven? That many?” Sima You Yue herself was slightly startled.

She only chose five and the other five white stones were casually chosen, how could there be seven?

Her expression made Sima Yi Yun and the others puzzled, could it be that she didn’t have an idea in her mind on how many ore stones she chose?

How could they possibly know that Sima You Yue had suppressed her own power, but yet didn’t want them to suffer a huge loss hence she chose five good ones. The remaining five were really those kinds which she casually chose and it looked like there wouldn’t be spirit stones.

She had not expected that there would be two which slipped out of her net!

“Si Yue your stone picking rate is something which those so called Seeker Spirit Scholars wouldn’t dare to guarantee!” Sima Qi Qi looked at Sima You Yue in admiration.

“This is probably good luck, I guess!” Sima You Yue mocked.

Oh goodness, if she knew she would have chosen the remaining five properly as well, ensuring that those are all white stones!

“Si Yue, which place do you come from?” Just as she was feeling regretful towards her own actions, Sima Shu Xin’s voice pulled her back from her wandering thoughts.

“I came from a small place and later I managed to enter the academy by luck so this time round, I’m here to gain some knowledge while following the academy.” Sima You Yue said.

“Then are you here to join in the alchemy contest?”

“I know a little so the teachers feel that I can learn even more things when I’m here.”

“Do you have any relatives?”

Sima Qi Qi’s question made Sima You Yue jolt. They were asking about her relatives, was it by chance or had they found out about something?

“I have a few brothers and a Grandfather, there are very few of us in the family.”

“How about your father and mother?” Sima Xin Shu questioned.

“My father and mother passed away when I was very young.”

“Really, you don’t know or are you not intending to acknowledge your parents?” A stern voice came from outside and immediately after that, Sima Yi Fei walked in with two men.
