“We have already been here for close to a year.” Xue Rong said, “This Maze Forest has a rule. You can’t leave from wherever you came from. We’re now already near an exit, so we should be able to leave in a few days.
“There’s a rule like that?” Sima Youe Yue felt like there were too many rules in the inner sect.
“That’s right. This should be there to prevent us from going back to the start.” Xue Rong said, “What are your plans? Why don’t you head back with us?”
“Alright.” Sima You Yue cheerfully agreed. “Anyway, that teacher of mine didn’t say that I couldn’t team up.”
“You Yue, did you really not come because you were on leave?” A lady dressed in a white tassel skirt looked at her with curiosity.
“Yeah, I didn’t. This is my first time in the inner sect.” Sima You Yue said, “However, I didn’t expect that my teacher would be so evil and tossed me right in here. He wasn’t even worried that I’m too weak and might get eaten by Saint Beasts and the like.
” Although Teacher may not be that reliable, I don’t think he’ll toss you aside without care.” Xue Rong, “Although the temperament of his students are a little strange, they’ve always been strong. Cough Cough, like, for us, we’re strong in refinement. Honestly, when we first heard that there was a student who asked for a year’s leave before even entering the inner sect, we wondered which teacher it was. However, when we heard it was Teacher Xu, we didn’t feel it was strange at all.”
“You guys think that I’m a weirdo as well.” Sima You Yue said.
Xue Rong smiled sheepishly.
“You don’t seem strange to me at all.” That white skirted lady said, smiling, “You’re also extremely powerful, and that python was a third ranked sacred beast but you were able to take it out on your own. We wouldn’t have been able to!”
Sima You Yue smiled at the usually Ma Bo Xian, “If I’m not wrong, you should be Ma Bo Jian, the top two hundredth, right?”
She felt it was rather familiar when Xue Rong had addressed him earlier. It was only now that she realised Fatty Qu had mentioned the name of this person 2 days ago.
“You Yue, you know of Bo Jian even before entering the inner sect?”
“My older brothers and some friends of mine have entered as well. They mentioned his name a few days ago when they returned.” Sima You Yue said.
Ma Bo Jian glanced at Sima You Yue said, “You’re not weaker than me.”
The moment he said it, everyone was stunned.
“Bo Jian, you’re saying that You Yue isn’t weaker than you?” The white skirted lady looked between Bo Jian and Sima You Yue, her eyes filling with surprise.
Ma Bo Jian nodded. He had seen Sima You Yue’s fight and he could tell clearly that she was not weaker than him at all. She might even be stronger.
However, wasn’t she an alchemist? How was she so strong?
Everyone started to see Sima You Yue in a different light. They initially just thought that she was only relatively better at alchemy. Who would have thought that she would be really strong as well. However, they subconsciously assumed that the had strengthened herself through the use of pills. After all, an alchemist never lacked in pills. Some pills could also be used to strengthen oneself.
“Then, You Yue, you will be able to participate in the three upcoming meetings. You definitely won’t end up with mediocre results.” Xue Rong said.
“You Yue, do you know about the three meetings?”
“I do. Teacher Ge told me before coming in here that he would let me participate in it. However, I’ll thinking whether or not I actually do once I enter the inner sect and understand a bit more.”
“If you do, we’ll definitely go and cheer you on!” Xue Rong said with a smile.
“Alright. If I really do participate, I’ll definitely tell you all so you can come and cheer for me!” Sima You Yue smiled in reply.
On this night, they chatted till late at night before they rested. Sima You Yue spent the rest of the days with Xue Rong and the others. After spending time with them, she realised that they weren’t bad. Perhaps birds of a feather truly flocked together. At the end of it, they were pretty decent friends.
Today, they had just finished a battle. Ma Bo Jian and Xue Rong were faced off against three sacred beasts. However, both of them got injured.
They took out a few pills and ate them. Then, they looked for an empty plot of land to rest. Although they were injured, this did not affect their state of mind. Xue Rong was rather excited as he split the gains of his battle with everyone.
“Ha ha ha, I was just saying that they would be the ones in battle just now. How was it, wasn’t I right?” They heard the sound of loud laughter and Sima You Yue noticed that Ma Bo Jian’s expression changed the moment he heard that voice.
Xue Rong stood up and turned around to look at the group that had just walked over. The other party was around double their number. She asked coldly, “Why are you here?”
“Xue Rong? We’ve grown so close, why don’t you tell me why I’m here?” The voice that spoke earlier said with a laugh, “Didn’t you tread us under your feet with such glee just now? We come to sincerely reconcile with you.”
After he spoke, Sima You Yue’s face was coloured with confusion, but the others had darkened expressions.
“Jia Shan, how do you want to settle this?” Ma Bo Jian looked coldly at them.
“Simple. Return all the territory that you stole from us. Then, kneel on the ground and call us Big brother a hundred times. That will do.” Jia Shan replied.
“That was our territory to begin with. You guys were the ones who stole ours. We merely snatched it back.” Shu Yuan Yuan, the white skirted lady, replied.
“If we snatch it, then it’s ours. If you take it from us, doesn’t that mean that you stole our things?” A slit-eyed male standing beside Jia Shan shouted.
“You guys-” Shu Yuan Yuan was infuriated. She wanted to rush up and deal with them, but Xue Rong grabbed on to her.
“Yuan Yuan, don’t be rash.”
The others were angry, but were still able to control themselves.
“Jia Shan, you should know that I can’t make a decision like that.” Ma Bo Jian said.
“You’re the second in charge in your team. If you can’t make decisions then who can?” Jia Shan retorted, “As long as you agree, who will dare say otherwise?”
“Even if I agreed, my brothers in this team will not agree. Hao will never agree.” Ma Bo Jian said.
“As long as you guys agree, we naturally have our way to convince him.” Jia Shan said.
“Boss, don’t waste anymore words with them. If you ask me, we should just beat them up. Would we fear their disagreement then?” The slit-eyed guy said. He looked at Xue Rong with a malicious gaze. They had beaten him up back then and she had stepped on him.
He was the one who recognised Xue Rong’s spirit attack and guessed that they were here. There had the advantage in numbers today, so he would be sure to pay it back in full and more!
Sima You Yue pretty much understood everything by now. This should be the rivalry between the two camps in the inner sect. The other party looked like they were less than decent guys at one glance. Especially that slit-eyed one.?He had a vulgar gaze, causing her to feel uncomfortable.
