Chapter 1781: Just Want To Follow Her Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations Sima You Yue led Xiao Ruo Bai into a small alley, Yuan Yan hesitated for a moment, but still followed in. Unexpectedly, he saw two people staring at him as soon as he entered. “My dear friend, you have followed us all the way, do you want us to pay for the loss at Iridescent Clouds Pavilion?” Sima You Yue asked. “I...” Yuan Yan opened his mouth and wanted to say that it wasn’t like this, but how was he to explain what happened later, why did he follow them? “Don’t you remember me?” “Should I know you?” Sima You Yue looked at him with doubts in her eyes, but her eyes were clear. “I am Yuan Yan.” He said. “Young Master Yuan.” Sima You Yue nodded politely. The other party was still polite, so she didn’t need to be rude. Xiao Ruo Bai thought of something, and whispered: “Hey..you are Yuan Yan?! Are you that Yuan Yan?” “Do you know?” Sima You Yue looked at her, what do you mean by that Yuan Yan? Could there be another Yuan Yan? The corners of Xiao Ruo Bai’s mouth twitched, and said, “He is the Young Master of the Yuan Clan who was molested by you and prevented you from going to Yuanji Teahouse to drink tea.” “Is it him?” Sima You Yue stared at Yuan Yan, “Well, I used to be young and ignorant, so I was offensive to you, but it’s been so long, don’t tell me you’re here to settle accounts, right?” Yuan Yan looked at her, the surprise in her eyes was real, and the slight embarrassment was real. With this look, he thought her face was unprecedentedly pleasing to the eye. “I’m not here to ask you to settle the previous accounts.” He said, seeing her obviously relieved, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. “Then why are you following us all the way? If you are looking to recuperate your loss, go to Young Miss of the Dong Clan. Anyway, your relationship is good.” Sima You Yue blurted out. “I don’t have a good relationship with her.” Yuan Yan explained almost immediately without realising it. He felt that his behavior was improper when he said it, but he didn’t know why, just didn’t want her to misunderstand him. “It’s just that we met in Crown City. She has some connections with my clan, so that’s why I made an exception to entertain her.” 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖 “Then you are looking for me to recuperate your loss? I am very poor and have no money to give you.” Sima You Yue thought about her belongings. The money was given by Murong Hui, not her own, so she really had no money. But, if she knew about Blacky’s treasure chest, she wouldn’t think so. “I ‘m not her e to seek losses either.” Yuan Yan said with a smile. “Then what are you doing following us for?” Sima You Yue was surprised. “Umm–” Yuan Yan wanted to say that he didn’t know why he would follow her, because he hated her so much before. Seeing Blacky struggling in her arms, he thought of a reason. “I see that your contract beast is very powerful, it is not like a normal dog, so I wanted to see it.” He said. Sima You Yue hugged Blacky tightly, took a step back subconsciously, and said, “My Little Dog, don’t you guys want to grab it.” “I didn’t want to grab it. If I really want to grab it, I won’t show up in front of you.” Yuan Yan explained, “I’m just curious about it.” An underworld dog that had no spiritual power fluctuations killed a Grandmaster in a single bite. This was indeed very peculiar and aroused his curiosity. “Really?” Sima You Yue narrowed her eyes and looked at him, her gaze made him feel that if he did indeed have intentions to this dog, she would kill him without hesitation. “Really, I’m just curious and want to take a closer look.” He promised. Sima You Yue stared at him for a long time, and said, “Alright, let me show you. Come here.” Originally, she would not pay much attention to such a person, but when she thought that Murong Xi had taken liberties of others before and because of her identity, it would help her to resolve some previous grievances. Yuan Yan saw her beckon him and he really walked over in a trance, as if possessed, without any defense at all. “Look, there’s really nothing special about my Little Dog. It is just faster and has sharper teeth.” Sima You Yue put Blacky into Yuan Yan’s hands. Blacky wanted to protest, but she stared at it. Yuan Yan hugged Blacky and stared at him. Blacky also barked at him twice. “It’s really nothing special? It’s just faster?” He checked Blacky, and he really didn’t have any spiritual power. Sima You Yue took Blacky back from his arms and said: “You have never heard of the saying, ‘There is no toughness in the world of martial arts that can not be conquered, only speed at its utmost extreme that can not be defeated’? If Blacky does not have such a speed, even if it has sharp teeth, it will not be able to kill the Grandmaster. I would have been killed by the other party before I got close. Alright, you;ve seen what you’ve wanted, don’t hate Xi’er anymore in the future. Goodbye.” She was talking about Xi’er, not herself. That sentence was spoken for Murong Xi. Yuan Yan did not catch up this time, but watched them leave blankly. “‘There is no toughness in the world of martial arts that can not be conquered...” He murmured and repeated her words. Suddenly, he had an epiphany and felt that the bottleneck that he was stuck in for a long time had loosened and he hurried back immediately. Xiao Ruo Bai was still thinking about what Sima You Yue said after leaving the alley. “You’re right, there is no toughness in the world of martial arts that can not be conquered. If we are able to be faster than others then we can seize the opportunity and win first!” She said, “So, when we’re cultivating, it is not only necessary to improve one’s level, but also to increase one’s speed. Haha, Xi’er, I seem to understand something!” “This truth is actually understood by many people, but everyone will inadvertently forget it.” Sima You Yue said. Xiao Ruo Bai stopped suddenly and said, “Xi’er, it seems like I’m about to advance.” “Why are you suddenly going to advance?” Sima You Yue asked. “I was about to advance before, but I have not had enough inspiration, and now that I’ve been motivated by your words...” “Then you go back quickly, don’t miss the opportunity. I’ll be fine to go back by myself, I will have nothing with Blacky around,” Sima You Yue said. Xiao Ruo Bai thought about it, and said, “I’ll come back when I’m done.” She left quickly. Sima You Yue didn’t know, she made two people successfully advance by saying something that couldn’t be more ordinary. She put Blacky on the ground and said, “Shall we go back too?” “Woof Woof!” Blacky barked twice with glee, Sima You Yue looked around and saw a man with enchanting looks looking at her. This person was not unfamiliar to her. She saw him on the day of the quarrel with Dong Qi Shuang, and he was also looking at her then, just like how he was now. “I don’t know that the daughter of the Duke can actually say such a truth, and also makes people understand the truth and breakthrough the bottleneck.” Mo Zhi said. “Who are you?” Sima You Yue stroked the anxious Blacky, “Are you waiting for me here, what’s the matter?” “It’s alright, I just want to know you. I’m talking about you, not the daughter of the Duke.” Mo Zhi smiled. Sima You Yue looked at him, her heart sank. Who was he? Did he know her identity?
