It turned out that those two weren't Elders, but Clan Elders whose status was even higher than Elders.
However, the clan elders were generally those with relatively high strength in the clan. Usually, they would be in secluded cultivation and would rarely interfere with the clan's affairs. Since he appeared in Sikong's study today, it meant that the matter was indeed quite serious.
"Man Er, the mine is in chaos."
Sikong's words made Wu Man's heart jump. She asked, "The mine is in chaos? What happened?! "
"Just when you went to pick up the City Lord, I felt movement at the mine, so I brought people to take a look. In the end, I found that everyone in the mine was dead."
"They're all dead? What happened? "
"I saw it. The situation in the mine is chaotic." Sikong said, "And according to the news we received, it's not just our mine. Other families are also having problems."
"Is the situation all wrong?"
"The other families have sealed the news, but the problem that appeared around the same time as us, I think it should be around the same time. So I want to ask, did something happen in the forbidden area? "
Wu Man thought for a moment and said, "Nothing special. During those few days, only Yue'er and the others were there. Perhaps they know what happened. "
"Then we can only call them over and ask them. Men, go and invite the young miss and her friend over. "
"Yes, Patriarch."
The guard at the door responded and left.
Sima Youyue and the rest had just settled down and were preparing to walk around Si Yue's courtyard when they saw the guards walking over.
"Miss, the Patriarch invites you and the guest to the study room."
"Father wants me to go to the study room?" Si Yue was a little surprised and exchanged glances with Sima Youyue.
He had just said that something big had happened, and now he wanted them to go to the study. Could it be that this matter had something to do with them?
"Yes, Miss."
"I got it. Go back and tell Father that we'll be there immediately." Si Yue instructed.
"Yes, Miss."
After the guards left, the two of them looked worried.
"It's fine if Father is looking for me, but now he's looking for you. Could it be that this matter has something to do with you? Could it be because you contracted Mi Er? "
"I think it's highly possible." Sima Youyue said, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me to go. I'm just afraid that the contract might have caused some trouble. "
"I didn't see anything strange during the contract! What does it have to do with other places if you made a contract with something from the forbidden grounds? "Si Yue said.
"Although we didn't see it, it doesn't mean that it didn't exist. Let's go and meet your father. We'll know what's going on. "Sima Youyue said.
"Yes, that's the only way."
Si Yue brought Sima Youyue to the study room. When the guard saw them, he opened the door and said, "Master said to let you in directly."
Sima Youyue and Si Yue went in together and saw Wu Man and Si Kong sitting on the main seats while the other two elders sat on the lower seats.
Si Yue was shocked when she saw the two elders and guessed that this was not a small matter.
"Father, Aunt Man, and the two elders."
Sima Youyue did not expect the two of them to be the elders of the tribe. If even the elders of the tribe were here, this matter must be no small matter.
"Greetings, Master Si and Steward." She bowed to the two people on the main seats. Because she was not a member of the Si family, she did not bow to the two elders.
"Yue 'er, I called you here today because I have something to ask you."
"Father, please speak." Si Yue maintained a calm expression.
"Did anything out of the ordinary happen when you were guarding the forbidden grounds?" Si Kong asked.
"Something unusual?" Si Yue's heart skipped a beat, but she did not show any reaction on her face. She frowned slightly and said, "Did something happen in the forbidden grounds?"
Si Kong saw his daughter's expression and understood. He sighed and said, "Yue 'er, if something happened in the forbidden grounds, you must tell us. Because the family has met with a big problem recently. "
"Did something happen in the family? Is it related to the forbidden grounds? "Si Yue asked.
"Do you know where the family's mine is?" Si Kong asked.
Si Yue nodded, "Third Brother brought me there before. Did something happen in the mine? "
"That's right. Three days ago, for some unknown reason, the situation in the mountains became chaotic. Some of the mines directly collapsed, and all the miners in the mines died. " Si Kong said, "The mine is related to the family's life. Now you know how serious this matter is, right?"
No matter if it was in the outside world or here, the mine was related to the development of the family's power. If the mine was gone, it could be said that the family could only walk towards extinction.
No wonder Si Kong was so anxious. It was indeed a matter of life and death.
Since it was a matter of the family's survival, Si Yue did not dare to hide anything. She looked at Sima Youyue apologetically, but she saw her smiling at her.
That meant that it was okay, just say it.
"What, did something really happen?"
"That, it was Little Sister. She made a contract with that thing in the pond." Si Yue said, "That fellow said that contracting it would not cause any trouble, so …"
"Contracted?!" Everyone else in the room cried out in surprise.
That thing was so powerful and scary. It was obvious to all. They didn't expect her to be able to contract with it!
"But I didn't feel that the thing in the pond had a contract with it. I didn't notice anything strange." Wu Man said.
"The thing in the pond was Mi Er's clone. It said that as long as it broke off from the clone, it would not be noticed." Si Yue explained.
"So you're saying that this matter was caused by that thing in the pond being contracted?" Si Kong frowned.
"Father, Mi Er said that contracting it would not cause any trouble. That's why Youyue made a contract with it." Si Yue explained, "And Mi Er is quite pitiful. Ever since it had intelligence, it had been suppressed in the forbidden area by the City Lords for them to cultivate. It was because of this that it wanted to come out. "
"Let's not talk about whether it's pitiful or not. It had intelligence from the power. Do you know that this fellow has been connected to all the powers in the mines in this space for so many years? Once it was contracted, all the powers would be affected. "Wu Man said.
"How are those powers related to Mi Er?" Si Yue didn't understand.
"Because it's equivalent to the king in there. Those powers will be affected by it. Also, they are connected underground. "
"Isn't Mi Er in the pond?"
"That's not a pond." Si Kong said, "You won't understand even if I talk about this now. Si … "
He looked at Sima Youyue. He still didn't know her name.
"Si family head, I'm Sima Youyue."
"What?!"
The three Si family members were shocked when they heard her name. The way they looked at her changed.
Wu Man thought of something and her gaze dimmed.
