Bei Gong Tang immediately grabbed on to Sima You Yue’s hand with tears streaming down her cheeks, “Is what you said true? My Mum and the others are still alive?”
Sima You Yue looked at how she was behaving, and did not know how to answer her.
“Bei Gong, You Yue already said it. This news was sent via the Yin clan. It might be possible that the Bei Gong clan intentionally let it leak. We should wait for the news on both sides to be revealed before we decide.” Wei Zi Qi said.
If they found out anything else from the two clans, it was a possibility that they were still alive. If the news was the same for both clans, this proved that the news was real. Then, Bei Gong Tang would have this amount of time to prepare her heart.
Sima You Yue called out close to one thousand more scarlet bees and got them to listen to the remaining news attentively. Especially the places that the Bei Gong Tang clan did not frequent.
Those scarlet bees understood her intentions and were very diligent and hardworking in listening out for information. They also looked out attentively for any special places in the Bei Gong clan.
Who would have thought that they would finally have found some clues.
“Bei Gong, was the place you lived in before, a little broken-down courtyard near the back of a mountain with a plum blossom tree by the right?”
“Yeah.” Bei Gong Tang looked at her, “Did you find my mother and brother?”
“Don’t be anxious. They haven’t found your mother and brother.” Sima You Yue said, “However, they said that the area seems fishy.”
“What’s fishy about it?” Bei Gong Tang didn’t understand, “That courtyard is extremely simply. Aside from three houses and a courtyard, it has nothing else.”
“The scarlet bees said that nobody lives in that courtyard, but there’s the smell of medicine.”
“Smell of medicine?” Bei Gong Tang was stunned, “In the past, Bei Gong Ao would force my mum to refine medicine. That was why the house always smelled like medicine.”
“However, the Yin Clan has already obtained news that said your mother died a few years ago. How could there still be the smell of medicine?” Sima You Yue said.
“Are you saying that my mother is still alive?” Bei Gong Tang looked at Sima You Yue with hopeful eyes.
“I’m just saying it’s a possibility.” Sima You Yue said, “I’ll let them check the place thoroughly. We’ll wait here first for two days.”
“Okay.” Bei Gong Tang’s hands were clasped tightly together, revealing how nervous she was.
Sima You Yue stretched forth her hand and held on to hers, “If something has already happened to your mother and brother, we will definitely make the Bei Gong Clan and Earth clan pay the price! Even if we have to borrow the power of Little Roc and the Divine Devil Valley, we will turn them on their heads!”
“Yes, Sima You Yue is right.” Fatty Qu echoed from the side, “No matter what happens, we will be with you to the end.”
“Thank you guys.” Bei Gong Tang looked at her with her mouth forcing out a slight trace of a smile. She wanted to tell them she was fine. That they didn’t have to worry about her.
After waiting anxiously for two days, good news finally came in from the other side. There was a very big possibility that Yin Lan and Bei Gong Hang were still alive. However, they were being confined.
After obtaining this news, Bei Gong Tang was happy and worried at the same time. She was glad that her mother and brother were still alive, but worried how they had been living all these years. Why did the Bei Gong clan tell the Yin Clan that they had already died?
After a few more days had passed, they finally found out the truth. Yin Lan and Bei Gong Hang were still alive, but they were merely imprisoned in the prison below the courtyard.
Bei Gong Tang did not know when the courtyard had a prison, but she was still glad when she had finally ascertained that her mother and brother were still alive.
“Then why did the Bei?Gong family say that my mother and brother had already died?”
“This is a piece of news we just received from the Yin Clan’s side. It says that one of your uncles had come back a few years ago. Knowing that mother had married into the Bei Gong clan, he wanted to head over to the Bei Gong clan to visit your mother. However, the Bei Gong clan had yet to find out the Yin Clan’s secrets, so it would definitely be troublesome if your uncle knew about her situation. As such, they told her that she was already dead.” Sima You Yue explained.
“I heard my mother say before that she had a very good relationship with that uncle. Furthermore, his talent was exceptional, so he had already left the clan for many years. It was said that someone from the inner regions had taken a liking to him and took him away.” Bei Gong Tang said.
“Right now, we have to think of a way to rescue your mother and brother.” Fatty Qu said.
“But if we just go up like this asking for them, the Bei Gong Clan will definitely refuse.” Ouyang Fei said.
“Then we have to find them first and make sure that the Bei Gong Clan has no opportunity to renege.” Sima You Lin said.
“We do have to find them first. However, the Bei Gong clan is heavily guarded. The outside of that courtyard seems empty and abandoned. However, many guards are secretly watching it.” Sima You Yue told them about the news she received from the scarlet bees. “Let’s talk again after the scarlet bees have found out their exact location.”
“Okay.”
After another day, Scarlet told her that she had no way of finding out the situation underground discreetly. It was protected by a barrier so they could not enter.
“This is troublesome.” Sima You Ming said.
If they couldn’t find them, they had no way to get them.
“RIght now, we can only enter the Bei Gong Clan to search.” Sima You Yue said.
“But you already said it. Many are keeping a watch on it secretly. Even if we went, we would be discovered. At that time, it would be pretty dangerous.” Fatty Qu said.
“That’s why we have to think of a perfect plan…”
A few days later, a group of people went over to the Bei Gong Clan and were invited into their hall personally by the clan elder.
“I did not know the Falcon King had arrived and failed to welcome you. Do pardon me. Please sit and have some tea.” Bei Gong Xiong beckoned to the head server.
“Bei Gong Clan’s Master is too courteous.” Falcon king cupped his fist to Bei Gong Xiong and sat down. He also got his men to sit on the seats below.
The palace girls quickly stepped forward to pour them tea.
“I wonder what the matter is that Falcon King would come personally?” Bei Gong Xiong asked.
There was a falcon clan living within a hundred thousand metres of the mountain range. However, they never interacted with the humans. The Falcon King had not appeared in the human world, so everyone in the Bei Gong clan was curious when the guards said that the Falcon King had come.
“It’s like this. These are friends of our falcon clan. Because they had saved my clansmen before, I promised to help them with something.” Falcon King pointed at a man in white, saying, “A few **** ago, they came to my clan. They asked us for a very valuable medicinal ingredient, the Buddha Lotus. They said they wanted to refine a type of pill. This King was afraid they would lose the precious item by being conned or robbed, so I followed them. We happened to choose your Bei Gong clan because we entered through the south gate and it was closer. If you cannot refine the pill, we will head over to the clan in the north.”
Bei Gong Xiong looked at the man in white. He was attractive and looked young. He never thought they would have such fate with the Falcon clan.
