Sima Youyue and the others rested in the inn for a while before Bei Gong Tang and the others returned.
"How is it?" Sima Youyue asked as she poured them a cup of tea.
Wei Zi Qi walked over and sat down, picking up the teacup and downing it in one gulp, saying, "Ou Yang went to the palace. Initially, he wanted us to go as well, but we weren't used to it so we came back on our own."
Sima Youyue laid her head on the table and said, "That Ouyang fellow might become the Emperor of South Yue in the future."
"That's right. When we left, we heard quite a few people talking to him about ascending the throne!" Fatty Qu said.
"In the future, we can do whatever we want in the South Yue Kingdom, hahaha — —" Sima Youyue laughed heartily.
They looked at her with disdain and said, "Forget it. Even without him, you can still do whatever you want."
"Nonsense, I'm so weak, how can I walk sideways?" Sima Youyue said, "But I think Ouyang will be very busy these few days and won't have time to take care of us. We have to be careful when we go out."
"Everyone outside is talking about who the team riding the Divine Beasts are. Everyone is curious about you!" Fatty Qu said.
Wei Zi Qi also said, "Luckily you all wore masks. Otherwise, based on the current situation, it wouldn't take long for this to reach the ears of the various large clans."
"I knew this would happen, that's why I had them wear masks." Sima Youyue said, "The experts of the Nalan Clan have all been killed. This time, the Nalan Clan is going to vomit blood. Just thinking about it makes me happy. "
"Haha, now they're going to vomit blood!" Fatty Qu smiled as he said, "We originally wanted to stretch our hands into the South Yue Kingdom, but we didn't expect to suffer a double loss, losing so many Spirit Paragons and Spirit Emperors."
"This is not a small loss for the Nalan family. It will also affect your meeting this time. "Wei Zi Qi said.
"You yue, when do you plan to attend the gathering?" Bei Gong Tang asked.
"Don't worry, there are still two months before the event. We can leave one month earlier." Sima Youyue said, "Let's see if Ouyang still needs our help before deciding."
"That works too."
"Oh yeah, if Ouyang stays, do you guys want to stay too?" Sima Youyue asked.
The three of them did not expect Sima Youyue to ask such a question and were stunned.
After a while, Wei Zi Qi said, "Our goal is to go to the Higher Realms with you. No matter where we cultivate, it's all the same."
Fatty Qu scratched his head and said, "I still want to go with you."
After all, he had followed her out in the beginning, and their current achievements were all achieved with her help. He had a certain degree of dependence on her.
Only Bei Gong Tang said with certainty, "He won't become the Emperor of South Yue."
"I think so too." Wei Zi Qi said, "Ouyang's ambition does not lie here."
"Sigh, when can we go to the Upper Realm!" Sima Youyue said, "I wonder how Master is doing now."
"It won't take long." Wei Zi Qi said, "Our current cultivation speed is not slow. I believe that we will be able to go in a few years."
"Actually, you don't have to worry." Bei Gong Tang said, "You have Master's soul imprint on you. As long as it's still there, Master will be fine."
Sima Youyue touched her own forehead. In her sea of consciousness, there was still a faint figure sitting next to the Soul Refining Art.
After experiencing a huge battle today, everyone did not cultivate tonight. Instead, they gathered in the courtyard of the inn to drink and chat. They went to rest after midnight.
A group of young people gathered together and drank without restraint. The next day, they all complained of headaches. Sima Youyue boiled a large pot of Chinese medicine for them. The bitter taste made the group of people complain incessantly.
Ouyang Fei did not appear for four to five days. He only came to the inn in the evening on the fifth day.
Sima Youyue just happened to bring in a plate of roasted chicken. Seeing that his clothes did not change, she went up to him and looked at him, asking, "Why aren't you wearing that bright dragon robe?"
Ouyang Fei stretched out his hand and pushed Sima Youyue's head away, saying, "I didn't ascend the throne."
"You didn't ascend the throne?"
"Mm. I've been dealing with these things these few days." Ouyang Fei sat in the middle of them and stretched, saying, "I'm used to being free. I'm not used to staying in there for a few days."
Everyone laughed at him, saying, "You grew up in the palace!"
"My heart is wild. I can't go back." Ouyang Fei took out his bowl and chopsticks and started to eat.
"You didn't ascend the throne. Did your uncles say anything?" Sima You Yang asked.
"I found a successor for them." Ouyang Fei said, "Although it took some twists and turns, they still agreed."
"You couldn't have passed the throne to that little brother of yours who's in his teens, right?" Fatty Qu said.
"Mm. He's in his teens now. In a few years, he won't be." Ouyang Fei said, "Being able to survive under Ouyang Dong's oppression means that he's not weak."
"But he doesn't have the same mother as you. Will the Sang clan agree?" Wei Zi Qi asked.
"His Imperial Mother passed away a long time ago. My Imperial Mother has always taken good care of him, so I got my Imperial Mother to adopt him. This way, he can ascend the throne and the Sang clan won't say anything." Ouyang Fei said, "It's just that I might have to stay in South Yue for a while."
"Mm. You've left South Yue for so many years. You should spend some time with your mother." Sima You Yue said.
Ouyang Fei had the same thoughts. He had left for so many years. Now that he saw his mother, he wanted to spend more time with her.
"However, even if I'm not with you for the time being, I will still cultivate. When the time comes for you to head to the upper realms, I will go with you. "
"Okay."
Ouyang Fei went back after eating dinner. Sima You Yue even wondered if this guy had guessed that they were eating and came back to scrounge for food.
After that, Ouyang Fei disappeared for a few days. When he appeared again, he invited them to attend his little brother's ascension ceremony.
Sima You Yue and the others guessed that they had never attended such an event before, so they agreed.
Others didn't know, but the Sang clan knew that Sima You Yue and the others had played an important role in this event. They were very grateful to them and treated them as guests of the royal family. They expressed their gratitude to them again and again.
During the ascension ceremony, Sima You Yue saw Ouyang Fei's little brother. Apart from Ouyang Fei, he was the only child who had survived the battle of the royal family.
He was sixteen or seventeen years old. He was about the same age as when she met Ouyang Fei. Although his cheeks were still young, his gaze was mature and wise. One look and you could tell that he was a capable person.
The entire process was tedious and complicated. Sima You Yue and the others went back after the ceremony and didn't stay for the banquet.
Things here were more or less settled. Sima You Lin found her and told her that they could go to the venue of the banquet – Saint City.
Sima You Yue didn't understand why it was called Saint City at first. Later on, she found out that it was a place ruled by the Sage Pavilion.
Thinking of the Sage Pavilion, Sima You Yue couldn't help but think of the man who had stolen her first kiss.
