Chapter 2288: A Year
Sima You Yue looked at the old man and said, “Hmm, you are indeed a bit powerful, no wonder you can touch the imprint of my soul.”
“Who are you?” The old man saw that although Sima You Yue was young, but he didn’t expect her to be so strong.
“Who am I, shouldn’t you havealready guessed? If it wasn’t for me, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be invited out today.” Sima You Yue said.
“You are that woman named You Yue!” The old man was shocked.
Of course he heard about Sima You Yue, otherwise, how could the Eldest Prince invite him to come forward, just to be safe. But they still underestimated her strength.
Not only did his own barrier not stop her, she could appear so silently! Not to mention, her soul imprint was so strong, so…how strong was she exactly?
Thinking of this, he didn’t have the confidence to face Sima You Yue, and he wanted to withdraw. As soon as his body floated back, he found himself trapped.
“Boundary?!” He didn’t even feel the existence of the barrier at all.
“Since you’re here, just stay. Mi’er, make it a quick one.” Sima You Yue’s voice was a little lazy, but in this laziness she killed a strong man.
Mi’er killed the old man, and after he died, she still got the aura she wanted in his sea of consciousness.
“The one who sent him is the Eldest Prince.” She waved and burned all the corpses on the ground.
“I’ve guessed it. Fourth Imperial Brother has already seen how powerful you are, and knows that ordinary spirits are not your opponents at all, so you shouldn’t send such a strong person at will.” Mo Yu Lai had just experienced life and death, and he was still afraid. His palms were full of sweat, and his s.h.i.+rt was wet with cold sweat. Although he had not lost his momentum just now, his heart was not as fearless as he had shown.
Sima You Yue looked at him forcing herself to be stubborn, sighed, and said, “Let’s go, I’ll take you back.”
“Thank you.” Mo Yu Lai heaved a sigh of relief. The movement here just now should have attracted the attention of several others with ill will. The person sent by the academy to protect him has already died. If she can send herself back, then the journey will be safe.
As long as the current situation was cleared, after tonight, the road behind him will be much easier.
Sima You Yue sent him home and said, “One year.”
“What?” Mo Yu Lai didn’t know what she meant by this, so he subconsciously turned her head to look at her.
“One year, hat’s how long I’ll stay here for. After one year, I will go outside with Yu Sheng.” Sima You Yue disappeared from the spot after she finished speaking.
Mo Yu Lai was stunned for a moment before he realized what she meant. She will stay here for a year, that is to say, during this year, she will keep him safe. What to do, do it in this year. If he can’t protect his safety after a year, then she won’t care anymore.
“A year? Enough…” He murmured and went back.
From tomorrow, everything will be different.
When Sima You Yue returned to the small courtyard, Mo Yu Sheng had no idea that she had gone out, nor did he know what kind of danger his beloved Sixth Imperial Brother had just experienced. He was still cultivating, because Master said that when advanced, he will take him to see his Sixth Imperial Brother.
Well, when he advances and can manage his own flames, he has to tell his Master that he wants to try his hand at alchemy. He used to watch others practice, but if he could try it himself, he could definitely succeed in alchemy.
A year pa.s.sed by in the blink of an eye, and Sima You Yue felt that this year seemed to be extraordinarily long. Perhaps it was because of White Tiger’s concerns that she couldn’t really relax and enjoy life.
“Boom–”
The sound of an explosion came from the alchemy room again, and after a while, Mo Yu Sheng came out with a sad face.
Failed again.
Mo Yu Sheng glanced at Sima You Yue and felt that he had no face to see his Master. He obviously refined it according to what Master said, and he also thoroughly studied every step of alchemy.
“Master.” He called out in a low voice.
Sima You Yue looked at Mo Yu Sheng, wondering if it was because he started cultivating, his mind was also growing, and now it seemed that he had a mind of a teen.
Regarding the fact that he would blow up the furnace, Sima You Yue would look for the reason at first, but later found out that the reason was not in the process of alchemy, but in the matter itself.
In other words, no matter how familiar he was with alchemy and how perfect the process was, he will never succeed. Heaven will not allow him to succeed.
“Don’t be discouraged, maybe it’s because you don’t have enough flames now. The flames you cultivate are always a little worse than the flames of contracted beasts or the deviant flames absorbed into your body.” Sima You Yue comforted.
“Really?”
“When did Master ever lie to you?” Sima You Yue asked him, “I just thought about it, I will find you a fire-attributed contract beast, preferably one with an innate fire. This way you can try it out when you are attempting alchemy. Let’s see if that’s the reason.”
“Then let’s hurry up and make a contract!” Mo Yu Sheng’s loss just now was swept away, and his fighting spirit was relit immediately.
As always, it was so easy to coax him!
“We have to go for a long time, so let’s go and say h.e.l.lo to the people we know.” Sima You Yue said.
“Alright! Let’s go.”
Mo Yu Sheng pulled Sima You Yue away from the courtyard, and Sima You Yue glanced at this place where she had lived for more than a year.
After leaving today, she probably won’t come back.
They went to the Headmaster and told him that they were leaving. Headmaster Hao was silent for a while, and said, “I knew this day would come, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon.”
“Thank you for your care during this time.” Sima You Yue said.
“We should tell you this. If it wasn’t for you, our academy might not exist a year ago.” Headmaster Hao waved his hand.
Since that day’s academy meeting, their situation with Mo Yu Lai has been much better, allowing them to see a light in the predicament they were facing. When those forces in the back came to support Mo Yu Lai, they were moved by him and they supported him sincerely. This made him rise rapidly, and became a Prince more important than the Eldest Prince and the Fourth Prince.
It all stemmed from her.
“You’re leaving, will you come back?” Dong Li asked.
Sima You Yue shook her head: “I probably won’t come back.”
Fu Xi told her that the situation above was also more tense, and they needed to find White Tiger quickly and let him return to his place smoothly. She was now going out with Mo Yu Sheng. It would be better if she could find White Tiger earlier. If she couldn’t find it, she should keep looking for it. It was highly probable that they won’t return to the academy.
