Sima You Yue had met Liang Yu before. Seeing the surprise on his face, she smiled as she cupped a fist to him in salute, saying, “This lowly one is Sima You Yue. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Young Master Liang.”
“Sima You Yue?” Liang Fu saw the calm on Sima You Yue’s face, then saw her bone structure again. She appeared to be a young male. He replied with a smile, “Who would have thought that Third Master Mo would actually make such a young friend.”
“It’s my first time gambling, so I thought it was a little interesting. I never thought I would shock Young Master Liang into action. I’m truly sorry.” Sima You Yue said politely.
“No, no. This place is open for business, and all this is well and expected.” Liang Yu said, “It’s just that we occasionally run into squatters, so the shopkeeper raised up a fuss about nothing and we’ve troubled Lord Third Mo and you guests. I, Liang, apologise once again.”
“Young Master Liang, you’re too polite.” Third Mo and the others couldn’t say much as her identity wasn’t that powerful. As such, saying this didn’t lose any face. “Shameless Third, we’ve have our fun for the day, why don’t we head back?”
“Your honor, Holy Son, Third Lord Mo, Young Master Qin, since you are all here, why don’t you let me take you all for a drink?” Ling Yu said.
Wu Lingyu and the other two turned to look at Sima You Yue. Sima You Yue didn’t have much of an impression of Liang Yu. Seeing that Sima Lie and the others were all looking at her, she smiled and walked over, asking, “Grandfather, Third Mo, are you done playing?”
“Yup, we’ve already had our fill.” Sima Lie said.
“Then let’s head back first.” Sima You Yue said, “Senior brother, if you’re going for a drink, we’re going to head back first.”
“Senior brother? Is Lord Sima someone from the Sage Pavilion?” Liang Yu asked.
“I’m not.” Sima You Yue smiled, “Senior brother, we’re going to head back first.”
“We still have to prepare for the auction tomorrow, we’ll have to pass on the drinks.” Wu Lingyu said.
“Mm, I have to prepare for it as well. I do have things that caught my attention. I definitely have to auction for it.” Third Mo said, “Ling Yu, let’s drink next time. Farewell.”
Sima You Yue and the others cupped their fists towards Liang Yu, then they left the stone pavilion.
Liang Yu saw them leave and the smile on his face disappeared. With a wave of his hand, a guard walked in.
“Send men out to check what kind of background that person has. He actually has the three of them as his companions, and even called Wu Lingyu his senior brother. How did I not know that Wu Lingyu had a junior brother?”
“Understood.” That person left immediately.
A little servant by Liang Yu’s side rushed up, saying, “Young Master, I once heard that the Devil Master of the Divine Devil Valley received a new disciple. It shouldn’t be that person, right?”
“Divine Devil Valley?” Liang Yu’s eyebrows furrowed together, “It does seem to be that person. Is he the other young valley master of the Divine Devil Valley?”
“Young Master, I’ve also just recalled that the person seems to be called Sima You Yue. He hails from the Yi Lin Continent. “Another little servant said.
“I never would have thought that the Divine Devil Valley would get a person from the lower continents to become their young valley master?” Liang Yu smiled icily, “I really don’t know what the pavilion master is thinking. He actually got a Divine Devil Valley clansman to become our Holy Son.”
It turned out that the stone pavilion was another power under the banner of the Sage Pavilion.
“Nobody knows what the pavilion master is thinking. The Divine Devil Valley has always been at complete odds with the Sage Pavilion, but he actually personally invited Wu Lingyu to become the Holy Son. He has even pampered him so well, as if he intends to hand the Sage Pavilion over to him.”
“Hmph, we’ll see how long he will be able to remain in that position.” Liang Yu said, “Send men out to keep a close eye on their movements!”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Sima You Yue and her group walked out of the stone pavilion. When he thought of the faint hazy look in the corner of Liang Yu’s eye, Third Mo was secretly happy, saying, “If I’d known earlier that Liang Yu was here, I would have taken you right inside to open a few spirit stones of a higher rank to kill him with anger.”
“It’s just that he’s found out about You Yue’s identity. Will it bring trouble?” Qin Mo’s eyebrows furrowed.
“What are we afraid of.” Wu Lingyu wasn’t worried at all, “As the Young Master of the Divine Devil Valley, anybody who walked by would have to take three steps back.”
Sima You Yue nodded, saying, “He knows the Ximen You Yue of the past and knows also that we have a good relationship. I’m afraid that he will link it to me, although that’s not equal to letting him know my current identity. In any case, even if we didn’t say it, he will likely check it out himself.
“That Liang Yu appears to be the Young Master of the Liang Clan, but he’s someone who doesn’t really have that much talent.
“Mm.” Sima You Yue nodded, then beamed, “I’ve earned ten million in a day. I’m happy just thinking about it.”
“I can feel it. You’re smiling so hard your eyes are going to disappear.” Wu Lingyu couldn’t help but smile when he saw her this way.
Sima You Yue didn’t mind his teasing, and was beyond herself in joy. She was a lot more interested in gambling on stones now, and was prepared to go and gamble for fun if she ever lacked money, to gain a bit of spending cash.
Her spirit beasts were all judging her from inside the Spirit Pagoda. When she first started refining pills, she was still planning on selling pills whenever she was broke. Later on, after learning arrays, she had the exact same thought. It happened again now that she had started gambling. How was their master so poor?
However, she did not care about their disdain. She was even thinking about how gambling was such a lucrative job. When she got back, she would look into the book ‘Soul’s Search for the Root’. She had currently barely skimmed the surface, and even then she was able to start appraising stones. If she was able to complete the book, she might even be able to become a Seeker Spirit Emperor.
When she thought of this, she looked at Third Mo again. She wondered whether or not she should also let him look at the book. Thinking about how he had given up his few hundred year hobby for her sake, as well as his dedication to her, she finally decided to give him a copy.
Since she had decided it, she got it done. The moment she went back, she headed into the spirit pagoda, digging through the whole place to look for a stone rubbing. She placed the book on the table, then looked at the book while inserting her thoughts into the stone rubbing.
The stone rubbing was a kind of jade that could record one’s thoughts. The thoughts would not disappear just because they left one’s body for too long.
She placed the stone rubbing on her forehead, then flipped through the book page by page. There were some things that she just couldn’t understand. However, after seeing it once, she recorded it down. Who knows, Third Mo might understand the meaning after he looked at it.
She stayed in the Spirit Pagoda for three days before finally recording down a full version of ‘Soul Seeking for the Root’. Because it had taken up quite a bit of her mental energy, she was rather exhausted when she was done. She ate a pill and rested for a while before taking the book out.
She went to knock on Third Mo’s, and Third Mo was rather surprised to see that she had come on her own. He thought that she had gone with Ximen Feng and the others to discuss about the auction.
Sima You Yue entered and got him to close the door. Then, she took out a rubbing stone and gave it to him.
“For me? What is it?” Third Mo took it and took a look.
“You’ll know when you see it.”
Third Mo saw how secretive she was behaving, and placed the rubbing stone on his forehead and took a look. He was stunned with a single glance and looked at her with eyes filled with surprise.
