But when they stood in front of a dilapidated courtyard, they couldn't connect this once glorious family together.
It was just a very small courtyard, like one of the courtyards in the Sima family's mansion. There wasn't even a door plate of the mansion.
Lu Yuan saw the surprise in Sima Youyue and the others' eyes and felt a little helpless. However, he still said politely, "Everyone, this is my home. Please."
They walked in, and a 16 or 17-year-old girl who looked a lot like Lu Yuan came out of the house. When she saw Lu Yuan coming back with eight strangers, she said in surprise, "Brother, who are they?"
"This is my twin sister, Lu Yuan." Then, he looked at the quiet courtyard and asked, "Sister, this is a friend I met outside. They came to see Second Brother. Where's Big Brother? "
Lu Yuan's face fell as she said, "Big Brother saw that we couldn't find the two hundred year old rhinoceros grass. After you left this morning, he said that he wanted to go outside the city to take a look."
Lu Yuan panicked when he heard that and said, "Is big brother really going there?! How can this be?! "
"What's wrong?" Fatty Qu asked when he saw how anxious Lu Yuan was.
"When Big Brother and I went to the mountains in the past, we came across a two-hundred-year-old rhinoceros grass. But it was near the lair of a fifth-level divine beast. If we were not careful, we would alert the divine beast. At that time, not to mention digging for the rhinoceros grass, Big Brother's life would be in danger!" Lu Yuan explained.
Lu Yuan was shocked when she heard that. She covered her mouth with both hands and tears were about to fall from her eyes. She looked at Lu Yuan and asked, "Brother, what should we do? Will something really happen to Big Brother? "
"You haven't been out for long, so he shouldn't have gone far. You can stop him now. "Sima Youyue said.
"It's too late. Big Brother has two contracted beasts. They're both extremely fast spirit beasts. I've been out for the entire morning. He's probably already out of the Holy City by now. When he was outside, he had a flying beast. By the time we caught up, he might already be in the mountains, "Lu Yuan said anxiously." I don't care anymore. I have to find big brother no matter what. Second Brother is already injured. We can't let Big Brother get injured as well. "
"Cough, cough —"
At this moment, the door to one of the bedrooms opened and a pale-faced man walked out. His hand was still wrapped in bandages. It was the second son of the Lu family, Lu Ming.
"Third Brother, go and stop Big Brother immediately. You must bring him back safely." Lu Ming held the door with his left hand and looked at Lu Yuan.
"Second Brother, your body is so weak, why did you come out!" Lu Yuan went up to support Lu Ming.
"I'm fine. Third Brother, go quickly! "Lu Ming shouted anxiously.
"I'll go now," Lu Yuan replied. Then, he said to Sima Youyue and the others, "I'm really sorry, I …"
"There are Divine Beasts that are as powerful as Spirit Paragons. If your brother goes there and you go there alone, you might be in danger." Sima Youyue said.
"Even if it is, I still want to go! Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will bring big brother back! "Lu Yuan said firmly.
"How about this, Eldest Brother, you guys go with him." Sima You Yue said to Sima You Ming and the others.
"Alright." Sima You Ming and the others sympathized with these brothers. If they let him go alone, these two brothers might really lose their lives in the mountain.
"No need, it's so dangerous there …" Lu Yuan had not even finished his words when he was interrupted.
Sima You Le went up and hugged him, saying, "If you don't go now, it might really be too late."
Fatty Qu and Wei Zi Qi also followed, leaving behind Sima Youyue and Bei Gong Tang.
"I wonder how I should address the two of you?" Lu Ming asked as he walked over with Lu Yuan's support.
"Sima Youyue."
"Bei Gong Tang."
Lu Ming looked at Sima Youyue and asked, "You're from the Sima family?"
"That's right." Sima Youyue said.
"What have you guys come here for today?" Lu Ming's expression was ugly as he said, "I've already said that our family's inheritance has long been broken. Even if you came, you wouldn't be able to find anything. Or do you want to be like those people and come here to move things? "
"Eh?" Sima Youyue and Bei Gong Tang were stunned, saying, "What move things?"
"Aren't you here to move things?" Lu Yuan looked at the two of them and asked.
"No, we met Lu Yuan in the free market. We saw that he wanted to buy a stalk of rhinoceros grass that was not old enough, so we reminded him." Sima Youyue said, "After that, he asked me for a stalk of rhinoceros grass. I happened to be interested in your sadness, so I wanted to come and take a look."
Lu Ming looked at Sima Youyue from head to toe, saying, "Oh right, the Sima family doesn't have you guys in the younger generation here. You guys just came to Saint City, right?"
Sima Youyue didn't expect Lu Ming to guess it so quickly and nodded, saying, "That's right, we just came yesterday. We've never been here before. "
"Then you'd better leave quickly. The Sima family already has a tense relationship with the Alchemist Guild. If you get involved with us, I'm afraid it will affect your relationship." Lu Ming said.
"Are you talking about the matter between you and Li Mu?"
Sima Youyue wasn't nervous at all. She looked at the dilapidated courtyard. It was really simple and there were many traces of things being moved. It seemed that a lot of things had been moved recently.
"You know Li Mu?" Lu Ming was a little surprised, but then he said with understanding, "That's right, Third Brother should have told you about us."
"No, we knew each other at Dragon Reflection Mountain. We beat up the geniuses of the Alchemist Guild, so our relationship isn't very good now." Sima Youyue said, "Aren't you going to invite us in to have a seat?"
Lu Ming looked at Sima You Yue with some surprise and said, "Please, the two of you."
They came to the so-called living room, where there were only a few stools left.
"The things have been moved away, so you guys have to make do with it. Fourth sister, make a cup of tea for the two guests. "Lu Ming saw that Sima Youyue and the others didn't put on any airs, so they shouldn't mind this.
Lu Yuan stood where she was, her face a little red. She said in a low voice, "Second brother, there's no more tea at home."
Lu Ming was stunned, and then he felt a little sad, but he still smiled and said, "I'm really sorry. In order to treat my injuries, big brother and the others have already left the house bare."
"It's okay. We didn't come here to drink your tea. It's the same if you give us two cups of water, "Sima Youyue said.
Actually, she didn't want to drink water, but in order to ease their awkwardness, she said it.
"Okay, wait a moment." Lu Yuan said and left.
Sima Youyue looked at Lu Ming's right hand and said, "I heard that Li Mu's flame is not an ordinary flame. How can a burn heal for a month?"
"Yes." Lu Yuan nodded. "Every time I take a pill, my arm will heal for a while, but it will soon become like this again."
"Then can I see your arm?" Sima Youyue asked.
