"Won't the Shadow Squad be discovered by the family? Now isn't the time to let the clan know that she's back. "Sima Liu Feng asked worriedly.
"I always thought that she was still in the Yi Lin Continent. Who would have thought that she was already here. We need to know about her as soon as possible so that we can protect her for Liu Xuan. "Sima Liu Yun said," As for the shadow team, it shouldn't be a problem if we control them well. "
"That's true." Sima Liu Feng nodded, "Since that's the case, then let them investigate."
In the following days, they kept receiving news about Sima Youyue, one after another. They were shocked, and their understanding of her was constantly refreshed.
On the other side, Sima Youyue returned to the inn. Little Seven followed beside her, not daring to even breathe loudly.
She returned to her room and set up a barrier before entering the Spirit Pagoda.
"Grandfather." She came to Sima Lie's room and called out softly.
Sima Lie had already withdrawn from his cultivation before she had arrived. After advancing to the Divine Rank, he had become younger and younger.
He opened the door and saw that Sima Youyue did not look too good. He asked, "Youyue, what's wrong?"
"Grandpa, I want to talk to you."
Sima Lie turned sideways to let her enter the house.
"What happened?"
Sima Youyue sat down on the chair and looked at him. "Grandfather, did my father say anything when he handed me over to you?"
"What did he say …"
Sima Lie recalled that afternoon when he had just returned from the Imperial Palace. When he walked to the main gate of his residence, he saw the person who had saved him.
Several decades had passed, but he was still the same as before. What was different from before was that there was a child in his hands, and there was a lot of grief on his face.
"Benefactor!" He hurried over and bowed to Sima Liu Xuan.
"Back then, you said that you would repay me for saving your life. Today, let me ask you, do your words still count?"
"A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand gold."
"Then I want you to raise this child for me and ensure that she grows up." Sima Liu Xuan placed Sima Youyue into Sima Lie's arms.
"She is …"
"My daughter." Sima Liu Xuan looked at Sima Youyue reluctantly, "Youyue, her name is Sima Youyue."
Youyue? Wasn't that the same generation as You Ming and the others?
"Don't worry, I will definitely raise her."
"Let her wear this properly. Remember not to let anyone know that she's a girl." Sima Liu Feng placed a ring into the swaddling clothes as he instructed.
"Then when will you come back to look for her?" Sima Lie asked.
"I don't know. I'll come back when I can …"
That evening, the setting sun was like blood …
Sima Youyue listened to Sima Lie's recollection of that day and heard him describe Sima Liu Xuan's reluctance to part with her more than once.
Her body and soul had been fused for a long time, and the two had long become one. She could clearly feel Sima Liu Xuan's reluctance to part with his child.
"What exactly happened?" Sima Lie asked.
"I met the Sima family. They said that they are my uncles." Sima Youyue said.
"Then did they do anything to you?" Sima Lie suddenly became agitated.
"No." Sima Youyue shook her head.
"Then how did they know about you?" Sima Lie asked.
Sima Youyue told him about her encounter with the Sima family. Sima Lie was shocked when he heard it.
"If the Sima family was safe at that time, your father would not have placed you in the Yi Lin Continent for me to raise." Sima Lie said, "Now that the situation over there is unclear, I'm afraid that something will happen."
"I think that at least those two people did not intend to hurt me." Sima Youyue said, "If they wanted to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, they would not have let me come back today."
"But it's still dangerous." Sima Lie's eyes were filled with worry.
He did not know what kind of family the Sima family was, but he was very clear about one thing. No matter what they were, they were not people that they could afford to offend now.
"I want to know what their attitude is now. I also want to know why they placed me in the Yi Lin Continent." Sima Youyue said.
"Then do you want to meet them?" Sima Lie asked.
"I haven't thought it through yet." Sima Youyue took a deep breath, "The alchemy competition is the day after tomorrow. The Alchemist Guild's matters have not been settled yet, so I don't know what the competition will be like. Let's talk about the family matters after the competition. "
In her heart, she also wanted to know about this body's father. She promised the original owner that she was her, so they were also her father and mother.
"Okay." Sima Lie nodded, "Let's settle the matters in front of us first. These few days, we can also see their attitude. But I think that no matter what the Sima family's attitude is, your father loves you. "
Sima Youyue looked at Sima Lie for a long time before nodding. She took out the space ring that Sima Liu Xuan left behind and stared at it in a daze.
Sima Lie looked at her and sighed as he shook his head.
She had not settled her own matters, and now she had to deal with the Sima family's matters. He really felt sorry for her.
After a while, Sima Youyue left Sima Lie's room and went to another courtyard.
Third Mo was reading in the courtyard. When he saw Sima Youyue coming in, he waved the book in his hand at her, "I realized that you have quite a lot of books here."
"You can read them if you like, as long as you don't tell anyone when you go out." Sima Youyue walked over and sat beside him.
"Well said." Third Mo put down the book and said, "Why do you look a little weird? What are you thinking about? "
Sima Youyue did not expect him to be so sensitive. She thought for a while and said, "I'm thinking about who I am."
Third Mo raised his eyebrows. This guy actually thought of this kind of question? "Why do you think so?"
"My soul still remembers the happiness and hatred in my previous life. Many times, I feel that I am Ximen Youyue. But when I am with Grandpa and friends, I feel that I am Sima Youyue, the girl who grew up in Yi Lin Continent. "Sima Youyue said.
"And then?"
"But I don't know who I am anymore." Sima Youyue said, "When I feel that I am Ximen Youyue, I feel that I have let Sima Youyue down. When I feel that I am Sima Youyue, am I not Ximen Youyue?"
"You are both Sima Youyue and Ximen Youyue. There is no conflict." Third Mo said.
"But when I face my family, I still feel a little awkward." Sima Youyue said, "I feel that I have not completely become Sima Youyue. For example, when I met her uncle this time, I did not feel like family. Speaking of my father, I feel that if they knew that the soul in their daughter's body had changed, they would definitely be sad. "
