Chapter 2204: Not a fake

Misty Cloud TranslationsEditor: Misty Cloud Translations

Si Yue still felt distressed: “It’s such a pity, that’s the Ancient Sacred Fire Order! You gave it away without even blinking. With your strength, it’s no problem dealing with those people at all.”

“No good will come out of holding on to that thing. It’s cursed!” Sima You Yue didn’t miss that thing one bit.

“Don’t you want to rule the world?” Si Yue refused to give up.

“I don’t have that idea!” Dominate the world, how tiring would that be? Just the thought of that irritated her, this sort of thing always irritated her.

“L suppose so.” Si Yue stopped pestering her after a while, after all, that thing wasn’t hers.

Zhao Rui Cheng thought that she had taken out a fake, but after hearing this, he realised that she had actually given the real Ancient Sacred Fire Order away.

She had such a good character, she wasn’t tempted at all!

Sima You Yue turned her attention to him at this time. She nodded at him and said gratefully: “Thank you.”

If it weren’t for him earlier, the people of the Dark Dragon Guard wouldn’t have necessarily agreed so readily. Although she could kill those people, it was definitely the more troublesome option. Moreover, she didn’t want the Ancient Sacred Fire Order in her hand. Handing it over so publicly wouldn’t

cause too much trouble for her.

After she thanked him, she brought Mu Si back into the inn. Zhao Rui Cheng watched them walk inside, he stayed there for a while, then he left.

The other people who were there watching the show had also left, and some conscientious people had also spread the word of what had happened here quickly. Although they didn’t know who the other party was, they knew that they were very powerful, and the thing that Sima You Yue had handed over

was also very powerful.

After they entered the inn, Sima You Yue asked Wu Lingyu to take Mu Si to get cleaned up. She didn’t know what they talked about in the room, but when they came out, Mu Sis condition was much better.

“Let me examine you.” Sima You Yue was afraid that there was some poison or internal injury in his body that would cause trouble for him in the future. Therefore, even though he didn’t want to, she still insisted.

Mu Si stretched out his wrist and lowered his eyes to hide the emotion in his eyes. However, his body trembled slightly the moment Sima You Yue touched him.

As Sima You Yue examined him, the frown on her eyebrows grew deeper and deeper. When she retracted her hand, her face was ghastly.

The vitality in Mu Si’s body had been hollowed out. If this were to continue, she was afraid that he wouldn’t last more than a few more years… Had she known this was the case, even if it would have brought her more trouble, she would have still taken the lives of those people!

“The injury you suffered before hasn’t healed and has left you with lingering complications. But it doesn’t matter, I will nurse you back to health!” She tried to make her voice sound normal.

“Alright.” Mu Si knew his body well, but he also knew that she would look after him.”

In fact, he would rather his body continue to decline this way. He was reluctant to take his own life, but he also didn’t want to live anymore. But if he were to say those words, it would anger her, and after she had calmed down, she still wouldn’t give up on him.

“Tm going to make a pill for you.” Sima You Yue left Mu Si with Wu Lingyu and went to the Spirit Pagoda to refine the pills.

‘When she came out, in addition to the pills, she had also cooked a table full of food that he liked to eat. Mu Si smiled and ate his favourite dishes. Before his Master left, she always cooked something delicious for him. He didn’t expect the next time he would have to wait more than a hundred years for the

next meal, and their mood was also completely different.

After he had finished eating and rested, it was nearly dawn. When the first light shone on him through the window, he felt the warmth of the dawn for the first time in so many years.

“Mu Si, I want to do acupuncture for you.” Sima You Yue said when she came into his room.

“Yes, Master.” He went back to the bed and slowly took off his clothes with his back facing her. Tears fell as Sima You Yue looked at his scarred and bony body.

‘Mu Si turned around and saw her crying. His eyes became flustered for the first time. He wanted to cover his body with his clothes, he wanted to wipe her tears, he looked like a panicked child.

“Master, don’t cry, I’m fine. These are just old injuries, they don’t hurt anymore.” He hadn’t spoken for so many years that he wasn’t very good at comforting people anymore.

Sima You Yue opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, tears flowed even more. She couldn’t imagine what he had been through all these years. No wonder he had become so quiet now, no wonder he had become so somber, no wonder his eyes looked so empty, no wonder he had no hope to

live.

“Master, I’m really fine.” Mu Si finally gave up trying to cover his body and reached out to wipe her tears. However, his hand stopped when it was about to touch her. “Master, you have already found me. I won’t dwell on the past, I will live a good life.”

Sima You Yue wiped her tears: “Alright. Go and lie down and I will perform acupuncture on you.”

Upon seeing that her emotions had stabilised, Mu Si went to the bed obediently and lay down so that Sima You Yue could do acupuncture for him.

Sima You Yue took two deep breaths and controlled her emotions. Her movements were quick and smooth, she finished the first round very quickly.

While she tidied away the silver needles, Mu Si got up and put on his clothes. While he was getting dressed, he looked at her back as she busied herself, then he bit his lip and said: “Master, whoever took me…”

He stopped and wondered if he should tell her what he was about to say next.

“Tknow the person who abducted you is Xuan Qiu He.” Sima You Yue said.

“Master, you know?” Mu Si was surprised.

‘When Xuan Qiu He abducted him from the Sima Manor, no one saw it happen. His appearance at that time was also different from usual, even if it was someone who knew him, they may not have recognised him. He had been controlled this whole time and never spread the news, how could she know?

Sima You Yue told him about the scene of him being taken away and that she had waited for ten years before she woke up. At that point, his whereabouts were unknown.

So that was how they knew who had taken him away.

“Xuan Qiu He now controls the black robed men and everyone else obeys his orders.” Mu Si said, “But I think he is very odd, sometimes he is nice, sometimes he is brutal, as if it’s not really him.”

“He is being controlled by evil forces.” Sima You Yue explained to him. “Do you know what his connection to the Dark Dragon Guard is? Why did they capture you but you ended up with the Dark Dragon Guard?”

“They seem to have some agreement between them.” Mu Si said, “I didn’t hear their conversation at the time, but they don’t seem to behave like superiors and subordinates.”

“Tt seems you don’t know anything either. In that case, the only way to find out is to ask him in person..”
