Sima Youyue contacted Wu Lingyu, got his location and went to look for him.
"Youyue, you're back so soon?" Fuxi was surprised to see Sima Youyue.
"Yeah. Something happened, so I came back. "Sima Youyue said.
"Did you find out anything?"
"That jade pendant belongs to Starfish's Aunt Sponge, but she's not here. She was bought by Onihime. "
"Onihime? Isn't she a girl? Even if she bought Sponge, it wouldn't be of any use to her, right? "
"She said that she wanted to give it to someone close to her, but I think that the butler's words are a little exaggerated, so I can't believe it completely." Sima Youyue said, "I've already contacted my cousin's people on the way back, and asked him to investigate in the capital."
"Then have you found out who's behind this?" Fuxi asked.
"I have some clues, but I haven't confirmed it." Sima Youyue said, "Someone will come and clear my doubts."
"What did you do this time?"
"It's nothing much, just poisoning someone or something." Sima You Yue said, "Did you get the invitation letter?"
"With me around, what's there to worry about?" Wu Lingyu showed her the invitation, and she saw that he got a first-class room invitation, so she knew that it wasn't easy for him.
"That, Mi Er stole half of the items from the auction, so I don't know if the auction will still be held." She smiled apologetically, if she knew this would happen, she wouldn't have asked him to do this.
"Mi Er's not bad! He actually thought of this. "Fuxi said," What treasures are there? "
"I didn't ask, if you're interested, you can ask him later." Sima Youyue said.
"Someone's coming, don't tell me they're chasing you because you stole their things?" Fuxi said.
"They're here to deliver the news."
Sima Youyue wasn't surprised to see Lan Yue, although she didn't believe what he said, she knew that he would come to her for the antidote. As long as he was by her side, she could always get some information out of him.
When Lan Yue saw her, she looked like she was about to cry. "After you left, I was in pain again. It almost killed me."
"It shouldn't hurt for long this time. For the next two days, it will hurt once every two hours. Every time, it will last longer. You'd better be mentally prepared," Sima Youyue said.
"Do you have to be so cruel?! I already helped you ask about Sponge's whereabouts, and I even brought you out of the tunnel at that time. You can't do this to me! "Lan Yue complained.
However, his tone was too familiar, which made Wu Lingyu look at him a few more times. That cold gaze made the surrounding temperature drop a lot.
"You're right. Since you've helped me, I'll give you a temporary antidote the next time you have a stomachache," Sima Youyue replied seriously.
"… You're so nice!" Lan Yue gnashed her teeth and said.
"Thank you for your compliment!" Sima Youyue accepted it with a clear conscience.
"Then I can only follow you." Lan Yue said.
"If you tell me about your situation, I can give you the antidote immediately." Sima Youyue said. "But if you don't choose this path, what can I say?"
"I already said that I don't know, but you don't believe me."
"Then take it that your position in the family is not high. You should know who's behind you, right?"
"I know. The Head Steward brought me up since I was young. If he says that I'm the Young Master, then I'm the Young Master. As for the others, I don't know. "
"Since he's the Head Steward, then what about the people above him? Don't tell me you haven't seen them before? "
"I've seen them before, but the people above all wear masks that block out divine sense. I don't know who they are or what they look like." Lan Yue said.
What he said was true. Other than the Head Steward and him, the Young Master, the people in charge of the underground auction did not know what they looked like.
Moreover, he really had not seen them before. Even if he was brought up by them and knew everything about the underground auction, he did not know who the people who brought him up were.
His adoptive father said that he was only an adopted son and could only do these shady things. On the surface, those things had nothing to do with him. He could not know and could not interfere. But in this auction house, he was the future successor!
However, no matter how much he was valued, he did not feel that he was important. Otherwise, why would he not tell him his identity?!
He thought so much, but his face did not change. He looked at Sima Youyue sincerely. Sima Youyue did not say whether she believed him or not. Her stare made him feel pressured.
This woman was not easy to deal with!
In the end, he opened his mouth again. "What I said is true. Do you believe me or not?"
"What does it matter if I believe you or not? If you say that you don't know who it is, then don't know. Anyway, I don't know who's behind this, so I won't give you the antidote. Anyway, it's only for these two days. "Sima Youyue said.
Lan Yue was speechless.
"Why don't you let me do his things for you?"
"No need. I don't have anything else for you to do." Sima Youyue shook her head.
"Then I'll give you a special invitation to the auction. They won't charge you any commission."
"How can you still hold an auction when the items are gone?"
"The items that you took were confirmed this time. We still have backups."
"You lost other people's auction items, but I don't see you getting anxious!"
"Those items were from the auction. They were sold to the auction and we put them up for auction."
"No wonder, you guys are really unscrupulous! You can earn a lot of profit from the transaction, right? "
"We have to take a huge risk too!"
"Risk and profit are equal."
Lan Yue heard her words and looked at her deeply.
"Youyue, are we going to the auction?" Fuxi asked.
"No, we're going back to the capital." Sima Youyue wanted to go back and settle this matter as soon as possible. Then, she would look for the Ghost King and check on her.
As for the background of the auction, she could feel that Lan Yue would not tell her.
Lan Yue had been following her for these two days. Previously, he thought of using the Great Manager to exchange for the antidote. Now, he could not get the antidote at the moment.
Sima Youyue kept her word. The next time he was in pain, she gave him a temporary antidote.
Just now, the pain only lasted for a short period of time. However, he could clearly feel that the pain this time was worse than the previous two times.
Just as he was worrying about the antidote, his people contacted him. When he saw the message from the secret guard, he was slightly stunned. Then, he smiled.
He went to look for Sima Youyue. At this moment, she was preparing to return to the capital.
"Let's talk."
"You're going to tell me who's behind you?" Sima Youyue asked.
"No, I have something else to talk to you about." Lan Yue said. "Give me the antidote and I'll tell you where Leng Yun and the rest are."
