An Lei looked at Sima Youyue as if she had been humiliated.
In the eyes of others, it was as if she had come from the hidden clan, so how could she be her maid?
In the eyes of others, it was as if she had come from the hidden clan, so how could she be her maid?
She and Sima Youyue were seated with one facing the crowd, and the other with her back facing the crowd. So everyone could only see her expression, and not Sima Youyue's.
"Sima Youyue, don't go too far. No matter what, she came from the hidden clan. How could she be your maid? "Shui 'er shouted.
Wouldn't that make her look like her own Miss?
That would be too degrading to the Miss's identity!
Sima Youyue looked back at Shui 'er and said, "According to what you said, you intend to help her return the 700,000 high-grade crystals?"
"How is that possible?!" Not to mention that she didn't have that many crystals, even if she did, she wouldn't help An Lei return the money!
"Since you won't return it, then who among you is willing to help her return it?" Sima Youyue looked around, and the people from the Donglai clan all took a step back.
They were just maids and guards, so where would they find so much spare money to help someone who had betrayed the Donglai clan?
Yes, although An Lei had left under such circumstances, in their eyes, she was still a traitor.
Sima Youyue shrugged. "Since you won't help her return the money, then I have no choice. You can't let me suffer a loss, right? Am I right, Miss Donglai? "
Her meaning was very clear. You had agreed on this before, and now you're going back on your word. It's good enough that I didn't ask you for money. If you stop me from taking in maids again, will you compensate me for my losses?
"Since she's free now, the Donglai clan naturally can't control her," the Donglai clan stated.
Anyway, she had no intention of letting An Lei and Sima Youyue off.
Although Xuanqiu He had said that Sima Youyue had saved them in that incident, she didn't think so at all. She still felt that Xuanqiu He had saved her.
Therefore, she had never seen Sima Youyue as her savior. Instead, she had seen her as an eyesore.
Love rival? Xuanqiu He had never expressed his love for Sima Youyue, and Sima Youyue had Wu Lingyu by her side. Why did she still feel that she was an eyesore?
"Did you hear that? Your young mistress has no objections." After Sima Youyue finished speaking, she turned to look at An Lei and said, "So, have you thought it through? Do you want to sell yourself to repay the debt? I don't think someone taught by the Donglai clan would go back on their word, right?! "
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched. How was she giving others a choice? She was clearly only giving others one way out!
Her last sentence was very serious. If An Lei still went back on her word, it would mean that the Donglai clan had not taught her well.
"I agree, young mistress." An Lei lowered her head, as if everything she had done was to protect the reputation of the Donglai clan.
"At least you know what's good for you!" Shui'er snorted coldly. Even in this situation, An Lei still knew to protect the clan's image.
But she did not expect that just after getting rid of the Donglai clan, she would become someone else's maidservant. This was also a slap in the face for the Donglai clan.
"Since you are my maidservant, then you must bear my mark." After saying this, Sima Youyue sent a strand of divine sense into An Lei's body. If An Lei wanted to betray her, it would cost her her life!
This was the inspiration she had gotten from Donglai Li. If Donglai Li had not just taken back the mark of the Donglai clan, she would not have thought of this. She could only make An Lei swear.
"That's good." She withdrew her hand and said with a smile, "But I don't know if you are worth 700,000 top-grade crystals."
An Lei was silent and did not respond to her. She lowered her head, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Youyue, since you have taken care of your business, can you take a look at these corpses?" Xuanqiu He had not rushed her, except for adding fuel to the fire just now.
"Wait a moment, let me bandage her hand first," Sima Youyue said as she took out the ointment and applied it on An Lei's hand again. Then, she wrapped the bandage around her hand.
An Lei found that after applying the ointment this time, her hand felt a lot more comfortable. She looked at Sima Youyue with some doubt.
Sima Youyue smiled, "Of course, I have to use better people. You rest here, I will go over there to take a look. "
An Lei found that Sima Youyue's smile had a healing power, and she nodded unconsciously.
Sima Youyue pulled Wu Lingyu to the side of the corpses and examined them one by one.
"Miss Youyue, how is it?" Xuanqiu Zhi asked.
"Just as I guessed, these corpses were not only drained of blood, but the death aura on their wounds is also corrosive." Sima Youyue said, "I don't know if it was like this in the past, or if these corpses have evolved. But one thing is for sure, the people who raised them must have spent a lot of effort, and many people must have died. I think if you want to investigate, you can start from the places where many people died, such as the massacre of villages and cities, or the disappearance of many people. "
"I don't think so. The news in the inner circle has always spread faster. If there was a massacre, the news should have come out long ago," Xuanqiu He said.
"That's right. Do you really know who it is? You're not talking nonsense, right? "Shui 'er snorted.
Sima Youyue ignored her and said, "If there weren't a lot of deaths, then this matter is even more troublesome."
"What do you mean?" Xuanqiu He could feel the seriousness in her words, and he could not help but sit up straight.
"It's certain that they are using human blood to feed these corpses. If there was a massacre in the city, it's very easy for big forces like you to find clues. But I think the most likely situation now is that there are scattered people missing in the inner circle, and you won't be able to find anything even if you want to. "
Everyone was silent. She was right. If there was a massacre in the city, it would not be difficult to find something. But if there were only a few dozen or a few hundred people missing, no one would pay attention. This was because this kind of situation was all too common in a continent where martial arts were respected and where the strong lived.
"Hey, you said you know if that's the case, as if it's true." Shui 'er snorted. "If it's true, then why didn't they turn into skeletons like An Lei?"
The others also had the same question.
"That's because they're already dead. Only the aura of death affects the living, "Sima Youyue explained.
"Send a message back to the clan, and let them arrange for their subordinates to investigate," Xuanqiu He ordered.
"Since He has said so, let's also send a message back to the clan," Donglai Li said. "Fourth Uncle, I'll have to trouble you with this."
Donglai nodded and went to send a message to the clan.
"Do you still want to look at these corpses? If you don't, then burn them. There's an aura of death on them, so we can only burn them, "Sima Youyue said.
"No, burn them." Donglai Li frowned in disgust.
