Chapter 1740: Come with terms Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations Both of them went back to her temporary residence in silence. “I truly believe now that you’re not her.” He finally told Sima You Yue after going back to the house. No matter how one could lose their memories, their characteristics wouldn’t change drastically so he believed that she wasn’t Murong Xi. “Since you know it, don’t come and find me anymore.” When Sima You Yue wanted to close the door on him, he stopped it with both his hands. “Although you’re not Xi’er, I’ll need to talk to you.” Gongzi Yuan held the door and looked at her sternly. Sima You Yue stared at him for a while before taking a step back, allowing him in. “You want to know about Murong Xi?” She asked. “That’s right, I want to know how you came here as well. What about Xi’er? Where is she?” Gongzi Yuan questioned. “I don’t know either.” Sima You Yue shrugged, “When I came to the Ghost Realm, it was chaotic and confusing and I met her in a daze, she was being chased and we fell off the cliff together. I’m here when I woke up.” “That’s all?” “That’s all.” Sima You Yue continued, “I told Murong Hui that I’m not her but he doesn’t believe me, he said I must have lost my memory.” “That’s odd.” Gongzi Yuan frowned, “Even I can tell you’re fake, how can Uncle Hui not notice that. Afterall, it’s a big difference.” “So he has a motive.” Sima You Yue said. “You don’t seem to care at all.” “Gongzi Yuan stared at her, seemingly trying to read her face, but there was nothing he could make out of it. “Care? It’s not something that I can care about.” Sima You Yue continued, “I don’t have the power to rebel, isn’t it?” “You’re smart.” Gongzi Yuan was impressed by her, he thought that she wanted to take over Murong Xi’s position. That wasn’t it, if it was, she would definitely have said that she was Murong Xi and not denying this identity. “You want to talk to Uncle Hui?” Gongzi Yuan said shockingly. “No, I’m here to recuperate.” Sima You Yue continued, “Isn’t Murong Xi your best friend? Why aren’t you looking for her?” “Uncle Hui will definitely send someone.” Gongzi Yuan continued, “If even they can’t find her, there’s no point for me to do that.” Sima You Yue glared at him, “You’re such a rational friend.” “I’m not doing worthless work.” Gongzi Yuan continued, “I’ll go back, see you later.” Sima You Yue wanted to tell him not to look for her since they weren’t close but he had already walked out of the courtyard. She looked at his dejected back view, thinking that he must be devastated. She sighed and closed the door. The news of chasing all the gigolo quickly spread throughout the residence of City Lord while the steward went to Murong Hui’s study room. “Patriarch, she released all the men.” Steward said. Murong Hui smoothed out the box in his hand and asked with a hoarse voice, “Where is she?” “She went back to the courtyard. Also, Gongzi Yuan went back. From his expression, it seemed like he believed her.” Steward continued, “Patriarch, should we do something?” “No need. I’ll talk to her.” Murong Hui took the box as he went to Sima You Yue’s courtyard. Sima You Yue wasn’t surprised to see him. “Please take a seat.” She was brewing tea and didn’t look at him after she spoke. Murong Hui stood still and watched her brewing tea quietly, he said contentedly, “Xi’er never sat down quietly. She was always energetic and never stopped.” With what he said, that meant he admitted that she wasn’t Murong Xi. “You knew about it after all.” Sima You Yue put the brewed tea opposite her while looking at Murong Hui. “It’s my daughter, of course I knew. She will never have the elegance you have.” Murong Hui walked over and took a sip of the tea, “And she will never brew such nice tea.” Sima You Yue poured a cup for herself and said, “May I know why?” Murong Hui put the box on the table and opened it, Sima You Yue could see the broken life jade in it. “Is this your daughter’s life jade?” “That’s right. It’s broken before we found you.” Murong Hui kept the box, “But she’s my precious, how can I leave her body out there? So I sent some men to look for her and found you unconscious beside her body. I would have thought that the one alive was her if it wasn’t for the broken life jade. It’s such a pity....” “My condolences.” Sima You Yue squeezed her lips as she comforted him while seeing that he was grieving. “After I took a good look at you, I decided to bring you back. I have yet to find out who was the one that wanted to kill my daughter. If they knew she wasn’t dead, they might try again. From there, I can find out who is behind it.” Murong Hui explained. “Oh I see.” Sima You Yue found it strange that it wasn’t hard to differentiate his own blood even when they looked alike. So it turned out that he already knew. “You want me to lure the one who was behind it?” “Although this is dangerous, I can give you Xi’s position. As long as you are willing to, you’ll always be Eternal Brilliance City’s Eldest Miss.” Murong Hui said. Sima You Yue turned her cup with her hands as she was thinking about it in her head. She just came to Ghost Realm and she didn’t have any power while she knew nothing at all, it would be good to have a stable place at this point of time. As for the danger... There must be give and take, right? Most importantly, if she didn’t agree to it, she was thinking that Murong Hui wouldn’t let her step out of the City Lord Manor alive. “Alright, I will do it. Father, try the tea that Daughter brewed.” Sima You Yue smiled as she refilled Murong Hui’s tea. “Good daughter, your skills are good.” “Thank you Father for the compliment.” Both of them started addressing each other Father and Daughter as both of them chatted like a real Father and Daughter. And Sima You Yue stopped telling others that she wasn’t Murong Xi. As she had injuries, Murong Hui sent many pills over with some supplements. She took the pills and kept the supplements. These supplements were only effective on physical body, she was in a Spirit form so it would be a waste to eat it. After she got better, she chased Ting Shui and Ting Shan away and went into Spirit Pagoda after making sure that no one was around. Spirit Pagoda experienced heavy damages this time and it degenerated badly, all the blue sky and white clouds were gone, the skies were grey as similar to Ghost Realm’s sky. She called for Little Spirit twice and Little Spirit didn’t respond, she went to take a look at the spirit beasts, all the beasts were in there except for Little Roar and Thousand Resonance as they were spatially binded to her, they were all in deep sleep.
