Sima You Yue lifted her head and saw that everyone was looking at her. She blinked innocently and said with a smile, “It’s nothing.”
“You always touch your nose when something’s bothering you.” Sima You Ran pointed out.
Sima You Yue’s hand that was touching her nose froze, but it seemed awkward no matter where she placed it.
“Fifth Bro, what’s on your mind?” Sima You Qi was curious as well.
Sima You Yue placed her hand down and pondered for a bit, “Dear Feng and I once had an idea, but we never told you. Initially, it was something that we wanted to talk about if the opportunity ever arose, but there’s no harm telling you now.”
“Whoa, You Yue, you were keeping secrets from us!” Fatty Qu started to whine.
Sima You Yue glared at him, “Wasn’t it because I didn’t want to drag you down with me!”
“Whoa, you want to do bad things!” Fatty Qu immediately hopped up.
“If you continue spouting rubbish, I’ll beat you up!” Sima You Yue waved a fist in the air before Fatty Qu immediately sat back down.
“You Yue, what on earth is it about? You actually planned to keep it from us.”
He asked the question that everyone wanted to ask as well.
“It’s like this. You guys know as well that Dear Feng and I have very powerful enemies. In order for us to be able to take revenge in the future, we have decided to establish a sect.” Sima You Yue explained.
“Establish a sect? That’s great news! Why would you keep it from us?” Sima You Le chuckled.
“Fourth Bro, if establishing a sect was something so simple, Fifth Bro wouldn’t have kept it from us.” Sima You Ran said, “I’m guessing that things aren’t that simple, right?”
“That’s right.” Sima You Yue nodded, “We have to deal with the Yin Yang Palace and the Zong Zheng Clan in the future, so it will definitely be a battle to the death. That’s why I don’t plan to recruit just anybody.”
“Not just anybody?”
Sima You Yue nodded, “We have to recruit some people who aren’t afraid to die, and deal with things that might involve their life and death.”
“Is that why you didn’t plan to tell us? You were afraid to burden us?” Sima You Ming said.
Sima You Yue nodded. That was exactly it.
“That’s why you have some ideas on how to deal with these ten evil people.” Sima You Lin said confidently.
“Yes, since they aren’t actually evil people, but their names are renowned. By relying on the ten of them, they actually managed to remain together in harmony against all the people who tried to kill them. I’m guessing that this means they have some level of ability. After using the scarlet bees for so many years, how many people have ever noticed them? If it were not for the fact that I intentionally got them to split up this time, I wouldn’t have gotten to hear their news.”
“What do you plan to do, then?” Sima You Qi asked.
Sima You Yue raised her eyebrows. Based on what he said, did he mean that they were going to join, just like that?
“Eldest Bro,?you…”
“Since it’s your issue, it’s naturally our problem, as your older brothers. Even if the days ahead are hard, we will face them together with you.” Sima You Qi looked at her steadily.
“That’s right, Fifth Bro. You were really wrong in this case. You should have told us about this long ago. We would have given you advice.” Sima You Ming pretended to lecture her.
“Yes, You Yue was wrong.” Sima You Yue said with a laugh.
“They’re all going, so I want to go too. When the time comes where you want to split it up by faction and palace and need a faction or palace head, I can be it.” Fatty Qu said, laughing.
“Since everyone’s going, we’ve always been together, so I’ll naturally be a part of this as well.” Wei Zi Qi added on.
Bei Gong Tang and Ouyang Fei nodded.
“You guys…” Sima You Yue looked at their firm gaze and was moved, “Do you guys know that if you join this place, it will be extremely dangerous.”
“We all know it.”
“Me too, me too!” Little Seven said as she hopped up.
“Little Seven, you too?!” Fatty Qu looked at her with puzzlement.
“Why can’t I?” Little Seven placed both hands on her hips, glaring at Fatty Qu.
“Are you able to join us?” Sima You Le asked as well.
“Why can’t I?” Little Seven retorted again.
Sima You Yue patted the top of Little Seven’s head, “If you really were to enter, Principal Yuan would kill me.”
“He wouldn’t.” Little Seven huffed, “He said that I could decide my own fate. There’s only one thing I cannot do.”
“What?”
“I can’t leave the inner and outer regions. If I want to leave these two places, I have to tell him first.” Little Seven returned to her seat and kicked her little legs.
Everyone looked at her profoundly. Sima You Yue had once told them that Little Seven’s identity wasn’t simple. Listening to her now, they were even more curious what her identity was.
“Since Principal Yuan has already said so, you can join if you want. However, you have to promise me something. Otherwise, I won’t let you join us.” Sima You Yue said.
“What condition do you have?”
“No matter what happens in the future, you cannot breathe a word of it to anyone else.” Sima You Yue requested.
“Not a single person?” Little Seven tilted her head to the side as she asked.
“It’s not that you can’t tell everyone, but if you want to tell someone, you have to get my permission.” Sima You Yue said.
“Alright, I promise.” Little Seven nodded.
“Alright, You Yue, how do you plan to attract them? You don’t have anything right now, and they’re also more powerful than we are. I don’t think it’ll be that easy to get them to listen to you.” Sima You Lin said.
“Yeah. This is a problem.” Sima You Ming agreed.
“Then we have to see whether or not I have the ability.” Sima You Yue took out a spirit fruit and played with it in her hand without eating it.
“What ability?” Fatty Qu asked.
“Idiot.” Little Seven glanced at him from the corner of her eye.
“Ah?”
“Fatty, aside from weaponry and eating, is there anything else that will get your brain to work? Since their third eldest is seriously sick, if You Yue has the ability, wouldn’t this be an entry point?” Wei Zi Qi said.
“Oh yeah!” Fatty Qu clapped his hands, “Then, when do we plan to look for them?”
Sima You Yue smiled, “Tomorrow.”
“So quick!”
It was not only Fatty Qu who was surprised. Even Sima You Lin and the others felt the same.
“Since they’re not people who are easy to defeat, we should go up straightforwardly.” Sima You Yue took a bite of the spirit fruit in her hand after she spoke.
On the morning of the second day, there was a knock on the door of the little courtyard. You Si and Ni An Yi who were currently in the front, exchanged glances.
“Why would someone be knocking at our door at this time?” Ni An Yi asked, “Nobody has come to look for us although we’ve lived here for such a long time. Now that everyone isn’t around, why would someone come? Could it be…”
“I’ll take a look. You stand guard here. If it is… then you should take Third Brother and leave.” You Si said.
“Alright.” Ni An Yi turned around. Before he left, he saw Shi Chen standing not too far away.
“If someone is really here to kill us, I won’t drag you down.”
“Third Bro.” Ni An Yi cried out anxiously.
“Our younger brothers are not around. If you really took me away, you would be killing your fourth bro. Could you really do that? Shi Chen patted his shoulder and said, “The knock on our door is becoming increasingly urgent. It wouldn’t be good to drag it on. Go and open the door.”
“Third Bro, we found out yesterday that someone was watching us and someone’s here today to knock on our door. We’re afraid…” You Si said anxiously.
“If it was someone who was here to kill us, they wouldn’t knock on the door politely.” Shi Chen said, “In any case, tenth bro and the others should be back soon…”
