Sima You Yue went to Xi Er Mos Manor alone. By the time she had arrived, Xiao Ling had already left. When the guard saw her, he took her inside immediately.

This time, it was in the West Garden, in the pavilion again. The guard took her under the rockery and Sima You Yue walked up by herself. When she saw the tea tray on the stone table, she walked over very consciously and began to prepare tea.

One person brewed tea while the other watched, neither of them spoke. Although there was silence, it didnt feel awkward.

It wasnt until she had finished preparing the tea and brought it to Xi Er Mo and he tasted the tea, then he put the teacup down and asked her: Youre so calm, arent you curious as to why Ive asked you here?

Youve not asked me here to make tea for you, so after I have made the tea, you will naturally tell me. Why do I need to be in a hurry to know?

Sima You Yue also made a cup of tea for herself. The two of them held their teacups and sat leisurely in the pavilion sipping their tea slowly. No one was in a hurry.

Its not good to not have any sense of curiosity at your age. Xi Er Mo said.

Actually, its not that Im not curious, its just that I feel that even if I ask, you might not tell me. Sima You Yue said.

If you dont ask, how do you know I wont tell?

Do you know my Mother? Sima You Yue asked, she noticed that his expression had changed, and she said: You told me to ask.

Why do you think so?

Its just a feeling. Sima You Yue said, Everytime you look at me, its like youre looking at me and its also like youre looking at someone else through me. Sometimes your eyes are very focused, sometimes very erratic. This isnt the first time I have seen it.

Back at Yi Lin Continent, Master Feng also looked at her in the same way. At that time, she had felt bad for him, but now that she has seen this look again, she understood it even better.

Xi Er Mo was silent, his emotionless expression was a little scary. Even Xiao Ling didnt dare to speak so freely. Therefore, Sima You Yue who didnt know him well was forced to be silent.

She didnt know if he was angry, nor did she know what he looked like when he was angry. Therefore, she didnt know what she should say, nor did she dare to say anything.

After a while, he said softly, So there are still people like me.

He was answering her question indirectly.

Sima You Yue knew in her heart that her guess was right. All these things did happen because of her Mother. He released Leng Feng and the others not because she was Xiao Lings Master, it was because they were her Mothers guards.

No wonder he was so easygoing, everything had a reason.

However, it was precisely also because of this that she didnt know how to talk to him.

She sighed in her heart, it seemed that her Mother had a lot of luck in love in the past, she wondered how her father had managed to capture her heart back then.

How is your Mother now? Xi Er Mo asked.

You called me here to ask me this? Havent you heard about what happened to my Mother? Sima You Yue looked at him and realised that he truly didnt know, and she said in surprise: My Mothers affairs was the biggest news in the whole of the Ghost Realm, how could you not know?

Did something happen to her?

Sima You Yue wanted to say, dont you like my Mother? Dont you think of my Mother when you look at me? How could you not have known when such a big thing had happened to my Mother?

Maybe her expression was too obvious and Xi Er Mo wanted very much to know about Yu Ke Luos affairs, so he explained very uncomfortably: Back then when I told her, she rejected me outright. I was very angry at the time, so I stopped caring about her affairs and I forbade my subordinates to tell me any news about her.

I see. Sima You Yue said, My Mother has been suppressed in the Abyss of h.e.l.l, it has already been one or two hundred years.

One of two hundred years was a long time to her, but not for someone with his power. This was not considered long, it was more like the time taken in seclusion or for an experience. However, he hadnt expected the next time he heard about her news would be about her being suppressed.

I didnt know He said blankly.

What could he have done even if he had known?

What happened? Who suppressed her?

It was my grandfather.

The Ghost King? Why? Didnt he dote on her very much? Xi Er Mo was surprised.

It was because of some things. Sima You Yue didnt elaborate.

Where was she suppressed?

I dont know either. My Grandfather didnt tell me. Sima You Yue said, I was going to go back to ask him but I received news about Leng Feng and the others so I came here instead.

Sima You Yue then told him about how the Ghost King had wanted her to break through to Underworld Paragon before he told her about the Cardinal Points Divine Seal.

So you dont know your Mothers whereabouts either? Xi Er Mo said.

Yes.

Is there something you need me to do? Xi Er Mo asked.

No. Sima You Yue said, If there is, I will let you know.

Xi Er Mo looked at her, he tried to see if he could tell whether her words were sincere or perfunctory. When he saw that Sima You Yues eyes looked sincere and she didnt seem like she was being dismissive, he nodded.

I heard that your relations.h.i.+p with Xu Wu is not good? Sima You Yue asked.

You want me to help you deal with Xu Wu?

No, I just want to get some information from you. Sima You Yue said, As the saying goes, The person who knows yourself the best is not yourself but your enemy. I want to know more about him, and the best way to do that is to ask you.

You dont have to worry about Xu Wu, he wont do anything to you. Xi Er Mo said with certainty.

Are you sure? He sent someone to the inn to kill me. Sima You Yue said.

If he knows your ident.i.ty he wont bother you.

Why?

Because he once received a favor from your grandfather. Did you know that he is from the Soul Region?

Yes. Thats why he has many Soul Clansmen are under his command.

Many years ago, he was nearly killed in the Soul Region but he was saved by your grandfather who let him come here. He has always remembered the Ghost Kings kindness, and now that he knows you are his granddaughter, naturally he wont make things difficult for you.

Are you sure? He sent people to the inn to abduct me before. Sima You Yue thought that what he had said was a little vague.

Of course. He will, on the account of your grandfather. That only happened before he knew your real ident.i.ty. If he didnt know who you were or anything about your ident.i.ty at all, it was not surprising that he would do such a thing at all.

What you said does make sense. Sima You Yue said, It seems that someone had deceived him and kept him in the dark. I wonder if he will be angry when he finds out that his own men dont listen to his orders and have become someone elses lackeys instead.

He is a proud man, if you want to deal with his subordinates, its best not to bypa.s.s him. Xi Er Mo said.

You mean I should go to look for him? Im afraid I wont be able to see him.

Surely this wont be difficult for you, right?

I have to go back and think about it.. Sima You Yue said. She felt movement in her interspatial ring and when she took it out, she heard Fu Xis cry: You Yue, come back quickly, those people are coming to attack the inn!
