After being busy outside for an entire day, Sima Lie returned home in the evening. The feeling of unease in his heart grew even stronger.
"Butler, where are the young masters now?"
The butler came in from outside and said, "General, the First and Second Young Masters have gone to inspect the businesses in Lincheng. The Third Young Master is at home, while the Fourth and Fifth Young Masters are at the academy."
"Go and call them all back." Sima Lie said.
The housekeeper looked at Sima Lie in astonishment. Didn't nothing happen today? Why did he suddenly call them back?
"Now, General?"
"Mm, you go now and tell the Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master to rush back overnight." Sima Lie said.
The housekeeper saw Sima Lie's serious expression and knew that something big must have happened. He said: "This old servant will go now."
After the housekeeper left, Sima Lie remained in the house. His heart was restless as he paced back and forth.
Soon, the butler returned and said, "General, I've already sent people to look for First Young Master and Second Young Master. They should be back by tomorrow morning. The Fourth Young Master has already returned, but the Fifth Young Master is in seclusion and has not seen her. "
"You haven't seen Youyue?" Sima Lie asked.
"Yes. When we went there, Young Master Qu said that before Fifth Young Master went into seclusion, he said that if she didn't come out, don't call her. It's probably a critical moment, "the butler replied. "However, they said that she has already been in there for two days. She should be coming out soon."
"Okay, I'll go and take a look tomorrow morning. If Fifth Young Master comes out, then let her come back immediately. "Sima Lie said.
"Yes, General." The butler accepted the order and left.
On the morning of the second day, apart from Sima You Yue, Sima You Ming, Sima You Qi, Sima You Ran and Sima You Le all arrived.
"Grandfather, why did you suddenly call us back?" Sima You Ming asked.
"That's right. What's so urgent? We still have a few shops that we haven't checked yet." Sima You Qi said.
"We have classes today too." Sima You Le said.
"Leave the Imperial Capital immediately and don't come back for a year." Sima Lie said.
"What?!"
"Why?!"
"Grandfather?!"
"Go out?!"
The four of them were shocked by Sima Lie's words. Even the housekeeper at the side looked at Sima Lie in surprise.
"Mm, in a moment, pack up your things and leave. You are not allowed to return for a year." Sima Lie said.
"Grandpa, what happened? Why do you want us to leave? "Sima You Ran asked.
"You just have to listen to me." Sima Lie said calmly.
"Grandfather, if you don't tell us the reason, we won't leave." Sima You Ming said.
"That's right, Grandfather. If you don't tell us, we won't leave." Sima You Le said.
"You guys, don't make me angry!" Sima Lie scolded.
"Grandfather, if you don't tell us the reason, we won't feel at ease even if we leave." Sima You Ran said.
"Sigh — —" Sima Lie sighed and said, "With your tempers, I'll tell you the reason …"
Sima Lie told her about his family's situation and his own premonition.
"Grandfather, you're saying that people from the clan might come here?" Sima You Ming furrowed his eyebrows. They never thought that they would have this kind of history.
"I had a very strong feeling yesterday that they might be coming." Sima Lie said, "You are the roots of the Sima family, so you have to leave. If something really happens, it can be considered as leaving behind an heir."
"Grandfather, where's Fifth Bro?" Sima You Ran asked.
"He's still in the sect, in closed door cultivation. I've sent someone to inform him. Once he comes out, we'll send him away immediately." Sima Lie said, "Alright, there's no time to lose. Leave immediately."
"But Grandfather, if those people really come, how can we be at ease leaving you alone at home …" Sima You Le was unwilling to leave and wanted to stay with Sima Lie.
"Nonsense!" Sima Lie suddenly scolded, "If they really come from that side, how can you resist them with your power? They can make you unable to move with a single glance. What can you use to resist them? Your life? "
"But, they might not come …" Sima You Le lowered his head and said softly.
"Grandfather, why don't you come with us?" Sima You Ran said.
"I'm a general of the country, how can I leave with you." Sima Lie shook his head, "Remember, no matter what happens, don't come back. Protecting your life is the most important, understand? "
"Understood, Grandfather."
"Alright, I've prepared everything for you. Each of you take an interspatial ring. Let's go." Sima Lie said as he took out four interspatial rings.
The four of them stepped forward, took the interspatial rings and dripped blood on them.
Sima Lie brought the four of them out. Just as he walked into the courtyard, his body suddenly trembled and he looked at the sky cautiously.
"They're here!"
Sima Lie's voice had just fallen when a wave of pressure came from outside the city.
"You guys leave quickly!" Sima Lie pushed Sima You Ming beside him and urged them.
"Haha, you want to run? Too late!" An impudent voice sounded, shocking the entire capital.
Sima Lie leapt up and appeared in the air above the General's residence. Seeing a group of people flying towards him, his face was unprecedentedly solemn.
Feeling the arrival of a strong person, the people of the capital all stopped and looked around.
"Swish — —"
"Swish — —"
Two silhouettes flashed into the air. It was the old principal and a guardian of the royal family.
Seeing Sima Lie, the old principal flew over and asked, "What happened? The aura of three Spirit Saints and a Spirit Overlord. Who are you? "
Sima Lie glanced at the old principal and said, "This is my Sima family's matter. You and Elder Huang don't have to get involved."
Elder Huang naturally did not want to get involved. Hearing Sima Lie's words, he stood far away.
"Lie …"
Sima Lie took out a ring and said, "I'll have to trouble you to pass this to You yue. You must not let her come out. You can go back. "
The old principal took the ring and flew to the side. However, he did not leave. Instead, he observed the situation from afar.
Sima Lin brought Sima Kai and the others and quickly arrived in the sky above the capital. Seeing Sima Lie, Sima Kai was shocked and blurted out, "You actually didn't die!"
Sima Lin, Sima Kai and Sima Qing, the three Spirit Saints and Sima Ke, the Spirit Overlord, lowered their heads and looked at Sima You Ming and the other three in the courtyard. Their hearts flashed with determination.
"Sima Lie, that year when you fled, the clan used so much energy but was unable to catch you. Who would have thought that you would actually hide here." Sima Ke looked at Sima Lie and his eyes flashed with a strange emotion.
Before coming here, he had already told Sima Kai that no matter what, he would not let them return to the clan alive. If possible, it would be best to kill them all on the spot.
Sima Kai looked at Sima Lie with a murderous gaze. Since he had survived the sneak attack of the Six Toed Devil Mouse, he should have recognised that it was a devil beast. He definitely could not let him speak of this, otherwise …
