BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1838 - Vomit Blood
Sima You Yue had an idea of who it might be, however, she didn’t plan on revealing her guess. Instead, she asked more questions about Double Fiend Black Shadow.
The more Yu Yan told her, the more surer she was about who had killed him.
Yu Yan said that Double Fiend Black Shadow was the Princess Consort’s most trusted assassins. They were often sent to kill important people. The fact that they had been sent to kill Sima You Yue was already a bit excessive in the eyes of others.
Sima You Yue figured that if both assassins had come to kill her at the same time, her strength wouldn’t have been enough, she would have had to use either Little Purple or Mi Er.
But such powerful assassins had disappeared when they came to kill her. Someone who could make them disappear without a trace would no doubt be someone even more powerful!
“Such powerful people were killed, no wonder she wants to kill me even more!” Sima You Yue shrugged.
.
“If there really is a banquet, will you go?” Yu Yan asked her.
“No, besides, I don’t have to maintain a relationship with her, so it doesn’t matter whether I attend the banquet or not.” Sima You Yue said, “Besides, you said the two items for the Prince’s treatment will be here soon, it’s better not to encounter anything unexpected.”
“That’s true.” Yu Yan said.
“I’m here. Thank you, Second Prince.” Sima You Yue nodded towards Yu Yan and went up the stairs. She opened the door and went out.
Upon returning to her own room, Sima You Yue lay on her bed and thought about what Yu Yan had said.
“Double Fiend Black Shadow, is this your doing?” She murmured and rested her head on her hands.
After she had fallen asleep, a faint figure appeared like a shadow: “It took you long enough to realise, should I have shown up sooner? But you still haven’t remembered me...”
Sima You Yue’s eyelids moved but she didn’t wake up.
Two days later, the invitation cards from the Palace were sent out to all the Dukes and their family members to attend the banquet. Sima You Yue only glanced at the invitation card and then continued to examine Gu Zi Ping.
“You’ve recovered quite well. ” Sima You Yue said, after she had finished examining him, “Your mental health is quite good too, a good mood helps you to recover quicker physically.”
“I am really happy that Ming Da has crippled that person, it makes me really happy. Especially when I heard that their doctors are unable to heal him, he has become a waste of space.” Gu Zi Ping was in a good mood and the hatred in his heart had dissipated.
“Your vital channels have recovered very well, you will be able to move after a few more days.” Sima You Yue said.
“I am looking forward to those people’s expressions when they see Zi Ping!” Zhang Ming Da said triumphantly: “You were both crippled and yet, you have been healed and he is a cripple forever. I think their expressions will be priceless!”
“I am also looking forward to it!” Fang Ying Han said.
“Remember, don’t say that I treated you.” Sima You Yue said.
“Young Miss likes to keep a low profile. We understand that.” Zhang Ming Da said cheerfully, ” We will definitely keep the secret for Young Miss!”
“As long as you know it!” Sima You Yue gave them a mutually understanding look.
“Will you be attending the banquet?” Fang Ying Han asked.
“No, I’m not going. If anyone asks, just say that I have reached a crucial point in my advancement and have gone into retreat.” Sima You Yue said, “Well, I won’t be coming out for the next two days.”
“This is quite a good excuse, even the Princess Consort can’t stop people from giving up their advancement, especially when it is at such a crucial stage.” Zhang Ming Da said.
“Alright, Zi Ping, rest well. I am going back first. You all shouldn’t go out these few days too. If the Princess Consort can’t find a way to deal with me, she might take it out on you.” Sima You Yue urged.
“We understand.” The few of them responded.
Two days later, the third round of competition ended without any suspense. The situation for Vast Region wasn’t good this time. Only Fang Ying Han, Zhang Ming Da and Sima You Yue had advanced. Moreover, Fang Ying Han and Zhang Ming Da only won narrowly, they would both have been in danger had they met a stronger opponent.
As for Sima You Yue, she didn’t make a move this time, her black dragon helped her advance all the way without any barriers. More accurately, after having watched her black dragon smash her opponents to death the previous two times, her opponent this time had surrendered before even fighting.
Therefore, those people who had wanted to see Sima You Yue fight were disappointed.
“Murong Xi.” Sima You Yue’s name was being called at the exit.
“Greetings to the Eldest Prince, Second Prince, Seventh Prince and Little Prince.” Sima You Yue and the others from Vast Region saluted.
“Are you attending the banquet tomorrow?” Yu Liu looked at her and asked.
“Of course I will go.” Sima You Yue lowered her head and replied smoothly.
Yu Liu approached Sima You Yue and sniffed at her hair, then he said softly: “Then we will see you tomorrow.”
Sima You Yue stepped back gracefully and bowed, saying: “See you tomorrow.”
As Yu Liu left with satisfaction, Sima You Yue was so nauseated she nearly vomited.
“Young Miss, are you really going?” Zhang Ming Da and the others had clenched their fists earlier. If Yu Liu had behaved more audaciously, they were afraid that they might have acted impulsively.
“Didn’t we make a decision the other day?” Sima You Yue said, “I am going into retreat to advance.”
Everyone’s mouths twitched, she had agreed so smoothly earlier!
The next day, Murong Hui attended the banquet by himself. The Princess Consort was speaking to Yu Liu when she saw him walking along and asked: “Where is Xi’er?”
“Princess Consort, when my daughter returned yesterday, she said that after watching everyone’s games during the day, she felt that she was going to advance soon. Hence, she is now in retreat and won’t be able to attend the banquet.” Murong Hui replied.
“Is she really in retreat?” Yu Liu didn’t believe it, “Could it be that she doesn’t want to attend the banquet that Mother has held?”
“Of course not, Eldest Prince! Xi’er is most interested in events like this and she feels regretful that she is unable to attend!” Murong Hui replied quickly.
“What are you talking about?” The Prince of Great Yu appeared with two guards and was followed closely by the sickly Yu Yan.
“We are talking about Murong Hui’s daughter Murong Xi. She said that she would attend the banquet before, but now she says that she is going to advance suddenly and has gone into retreat.” Yu Liu said unhappily.
“Advancement is a major event to use as cultivators. If she said she can’t come, then she can’t come.” The Prince of Great Yu didn’t seem bothered.
“The Prince is right.” The Princess Consort said, she then said to the maid next to her: “Now that everyone has arrived, we can start.”
“Yes, Princess Consort.”
The maid stepped forward and announced the start of the banquet. A group of beautiful women walked in immediately carrying fine wine...
Halfway through the banquet, the Princess Consort picked up her wine glass and said: “Prince, I would like to offer you a toast.”
“My beloved consort, you have worked tirelessly over the Region Competition this time.” The Prince of Great Yu and the Princess Consort brought their wine glasses together and drank their wine in one go. When he put his wine glass down, he frowned suddenly.
“Prince, what’s the matter? Are you not feeling well?” The Princess Consort asked with concern.
The Prince of Great Yu wanted to say that he was fine, but when he opened his mouth to speak, he spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the side...
