The raging flames dyed the entire sky red, and the entire house was burned into ruins. The three words' Ximen Residence 'on the plaque above the main entrance was slowly engulfed by the flames.
"Ximen You Yue, didn't you rely on the fact that your talent is better than mine to suppress me? Why don't you turn around and take a look at what your Ximen clan has become now, ha ha ha — — "A sharp laughter came from the flame, and it was so ear-piercing.
"Child, this is not your fault. You have to live well in the future. Mother hopes that you can live happily …" A gentle and loving voice soothed her endless pain.
The red wedding dress, the red flames, and the red blood kept flashing in front of her eyes. Sima Youyue finally couldn't take it anymore and opened her eyes.
"Young Master, you're awake!" Chun Jian saw that Sima Youyue's eyes were filled with tears and was wiping them away. Seeing that Sima Youyue had opened her eyes, Chun Jian happily called out.
Sima Youyue turned around and saw Chun Jian's face. Only then did she slowly come back to her senses. She wanted to reach out and touch her head, but she found that her hand was wrapped in gauze.
"What does Young Master want?" Chunjian asked.
Sima Youyue shook her head and asked, "Where is this?"
"This is the headmaster's courtyard. It's been here ever since you fainted," Chun Jian said.
At this moment, Yun Yue came in from outside. Seeing that Sima Youyue had woken up, she hurried over and said, "Young Master, you're finally awake. You've been unconscious for so many days. We were worried sick."
"How long have I been unconscious?" Sima Youyue sat up and saw that there were many bandages on her body. She reached out to remove them.
"It's already been four days," Chun Jian said, "If it weren't for the principal repeatedly telling us that you were fine, Yun Yue and I would've been worried to death."
Sima Youyue's hand paused as she mumbled, "Five days. Grandpa and the rest have been gone for five days …"
Yun Yue went up and grabbed Sima Youyue's hand, saying, "Young Master, why are you pulling the bandage? You're still injured."
Sima Youyue lowered her head and looked at her own body. Thinking back to the duel with Sima Lin that day, she could not even take two of his moves.
"My injuries have already healed. I don't need to wrap it up anymore," Sima Youyue said as she continued to pull it off.
Chun Jian and Yun Yue wanted to stop Sima Youyue, but the two of them were surprised to find that after Sima Youyue removed the gauze, all her previous injuries were healed. She got off the bed and walked without any problems.
She opened the door and walked out.
"Young Master, Young Master's body, she …" Yun Yue watched as Sima Youyue left. She was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Chun Jian pulled her back and shook her head, indicating that she shouldn't be curious about the young master's matters.
From a long time ago, she had discovered that not only had the young master's temperament changed, but he also had many secrets. As his servant girls, it was best for the two of them not to ask anything.
Sima Youyue came to the courtyard. The last time she came here, it was to say goodbye to Feng Zhixing. She didn't expect to come again so soon.
The old principal was in the courtyard tending to his flowers and plants. When he heard the noise, he knew who it was without turning his head.
"After sleeping for so many days, you're finally awake."
"I've troubled the principal." Sima Youyue lowered her eyes, hiding the emotions in her heart.
The old principal stood up from the garden. At this moment, he looked like a farmer. His trousers were rolled up and his hands were covered in mud.
"I promised your grandfather and master that I would take care of you. Naturally, I will take good care of you." The old principal walked out and said, "Come with me."
Sima Youyue watched as the old principal condensed water vapor to wash the mud off his hands. She was speechless. Only he would use his spiritual energy to condense water vapor to wash his hands.
The two of them arrived at the old principal's bedroom. He entered the room and quickly came out with a ring on his hand.
He handed the ring to Sima Youyue and said, "Your grandfather gave this to me before the accident. He told me to give it to you."
Sima Youyue took the ring and held it tightly in her hand.
"Since you're fine now, you should go home." The old principal said, "In order to take care of you, I let Chun Jian and Yun Yue stay here for the past few days. Now that you're fine, let them go back. Also, your friends have come to see you a few times. As for the rest, you can decide when you go home. I'll give you a few days off. You can come back to school after you've settled the matters at home. "
"I understand. Thank you, principal." Sima Youyue bowed to the principal and turned to leave.
Chun Jian and Yun Yue had already packed their things. When they saw Sima Youyue come out, the two of them quickly followed.
"Chun Jian, how's the situation at home these past few days?" After leaving the school, many places outside were still in a mess. Sima Youyue thought of the General's residence that was in ruins and asked.
"Young master, after you fainted, we've been in the school and haven't left the courtyard. That's why we don't know what's going on outside." Chun Jian replied.
"Then let's go back and take a look." Sima Youyue sighed and brought them back to the General's residence.
When they reached where the General's residence used to be, the ruins had already been cleared. The new houses had not been built yet and the people from the General's residence were only temporarily staying in the houses that had been spared.
"Fifth Young Master, you're back!" A guard saw Sima Youyue and happily reported the good news to the others.
"Fifth Young Master, are you alright?"
"Fifth Young Master …"
The guards rushed over and surrounded Sima You Yue in the middle.
Sima Lie, Sima You Ming and the others were not around so Sima Youyue became their only master.
Sima Youyue nodded at them, indicating that she was fine. Seeing that the number of guards did not decrease, she was relieved. It seemed that nobody abandoned the General's residence because Sima Lie and the others were not around.
"Where's the steward?"
"The steward is discussing something with a few stewards. They're in the kitchen." A guard replied.
"Alright, thank you."
Sima Youyue walked towards the kitchen. When she passed by the library, she realised that most of the houses had been destroyed but the library was completely fine.
"Could it be that this is some kind of treasure?" Sima Youyue muttered as she looked at the library.
However, she did not have the time to think about this at the moment. Thinking that she would take a look when she had the time, she went to the kitchen.
The kitchen was still the kitchen but the dining hall beside it had become a meeting room.
When Sima Youyue arrived, the steward was discussing something with a few stewards. When they saw her enter, everyone in the house stood up.
"Fifth Young Master, are you feeling better?" The steward asked excitedly.
Sima Youyue nodded, saying, "I'm fine now. Now, you can tell me about the situation in the General's residence and the imperial capital. Eh, you can all go and rest. The steward can stay behind and report to me. "
After receiving her orders, the few stewards left, leaving her and the steward alone.
Sima Youyue found a place to sit down and listened to the steward talk about the current situation. Her expression became uglier and uglier and the anger in her eyes grew stronger.
