Chapter 2081: Trick
The one who was with Bai Mei Gui was indeed the City Lord of Wu Xiang City. His aura was unsteady as he had just advanced a level.
“Young Lady, should you not give us an explanation as to why you killed Nan Yu Miao and Nan Yu Zhi?” Bai Mei Gui looked at Sima You Yue derisively as if he was looking at a dead person.
Sima You Yue was slightly stumped for words but came back to her senses quickly and laughed.
These people came to say that she murdered others. It seemed like they didn’t care about what happened.
Nan Yu Zhi was already dead to them, so it didn’t matter if he was dead or not.
It seemed like they were going to make her the scapegoat. She just wondered whether or not they had that capability.
“Explanation? What kind of explanation do you want?” She looked at them indifferently.
“Nan Yu Zhi was a capable person of the Commander’s, we won’t kill you casually just because you killed him. Come with us to see the Commander.” City Lord said.
“Come with you? Do you think I’ll be able to stay alive?” Sima You Yue didn’t believe their words, “You won’t kill me as there are thousands of staring eyes now, but who knows if you will kill me when we are on the way?”
“We want to bring you to see the Commander, why would we kill you?”
“Pfft——” Sima You Yue sneered, “Have you heard of the saying?”
“What?”
“You want to be a ***** but want to maintain a good reputation!”
“Impudent!”
“Am I wrong?” Sima You Yue sneered, “You came to me and accused me of killing Nan Yu Zhi, aren’t you just trying to put the blame on me? Then you’ll just kill me on the way while giving ridiculous excuses since no one will know anyway. Aren’t you being a ****** while trying to maintain a good reputation?”
“Hahaha—— Well said, Young Lady!” Someone who brought an army and was donned in different clothes and came over. They could tell that he was one of the Commander’s men with a single look, “That’s not what they thought. They were foes of Nan Yu Zhi and were troubled as they didn’t have any idea on how to kill him! You will die if you follow them. Why don’t you follow me instead?”
Sima You Yue looked at the army which filled half the street, but she didn’t believe his words. He wouldn’t bring so many men if he really thought that way.
Actually, she might really have used this opportunity to look for Hua Wu Xiang if Old Man Li didn’t tell her that information earlier on.
But for now, she was definitely going to the ore vein before looking for Hua Wu Xiang.
Hence, she wouldn’t go with anyone now.
She smiled to that person, “I want to go with you, but I’m afraid they wouldn’t allow me to.”
She looked at Bai Mei Gui helplessly as if she would really go with them.
“You don’t have to bother them, we’re from the Commander’s Manor and have nothing against Nan Yu Zhi, so we can send you back safely.” The man from the Commander’s Manor said.
“Alright, I’ll go with you only if they don’t disagree.” Sima You Yue responded.
“Sure!”
“Lai Cheng Ping, how dare you try to snatch them?” Bai Mei Gui didn’t expect that the men from Commander’s Manor would arrive early and listened to Sima You Yue. The Commander’s Manor and City Lord’s Manor were already on bad terms, if Lai Cheng Ping told this to Hua Wu Xiang, nothing would happen but his status as a friend of City Lord’s would be at stake.
“Bai Mei Gui, it’s better that you wash your hands off this.” Lai Cheng Ping said, “You’re the Commander’s envoy, not his envoy. You should consider the Commander.”
“I don’t need you to tell me what to do.” Bai Mei Gui continued, “We found this person first, so can you not cut this queue?”
“We have to respect the party’s opinion. She is willing to go with us, not you.” Lai Cheng Ping said.
Sima You Yue brought Wu Lingyu and went over to Commander’s Manor side at this time. She glanced at Old Man Li as she stood still. Old Man Li hesitated for a while and walked to her side.
They already saw that he was with her and saw what happened today. He might be able to escape if he followed her. If he didn’t, he might be killed anytime.
Seeing Sima You Yue standing at his side, Lai Cheng Ping laughed and looked at her proudly, “See, she has already decided.”
“Lai Cheng Ping, it seems like you want to defy us all the way.” The expression on Wu Xiang City Lord didn’t look good.
There was no way to settle this amicably, but he mustn’t let Sima You Yue see Hua Wu Xiang. If she spilled everything in front of Hua Wu Xiang, all their hard work from past years would be ruined. As long as she died, whatever happened earlier on would be counted as a slander of Commander’s Manor.
He looked at Sima You Yue as he waved his hand and the City Lord Manor’s men went ahead to attack the Commander Manor’s men.
Lai Cheng Ping had already thought about this so he wanted to protect Sima You Yue’s safety even more.
“Protect her!” He yelled as the Commander Manor’s men joined in the fight.
It wasn’t the first time that the members of Commander’s Manor and City Lord’s Manor fought. Hence, it was no surprise for the people in the City.
The City Lord Manor’s men were very enthusiastic this time as the City Lord was present. If they could get on his good side, their status in the City Lord Manor would be high.
Although the Commander Manor came a little late, their power wasn’t as good as compared to City Lord Manor’s but they had more men. So both of them were tied.
Suddenly, someone shouted, “They’re missing!”
The battle stopped, they looked at where Sima You Yue were, but they were nowhere to be seen.
“Where are they?” Lai Cheng Ping asked flusteredly and exasperatedly.
“They were here just a while ago!” The one who was responsible to look after them went pale. She was just right beside him, how did he not notice that they left?
When did they leave?!
Everyone was flustered and exchanged glances. Were they going to continue the fight when the one they were fighting over had gone missing?
Wu Xiang City Lord and Lai Cheng Ping were silent. Both of them exchanged glances from the battleground, then ordered their own men to search for them.
Sima You Yue, Wu Lingyu and Old Man Li came out from the spatial area. Old Man Li patted his own chest, sighing in fear as he was in disbelief that they actually escaped.
However, he was more afraid of both of them. He didn’t expect that they would cause so much trouble and would still be able to escape in that situation. It seemed like it was a wise decision to choose them. He was sure that she wouldn’t have brought him along if he didn’t choose her earlier.
“Miss You Yue, is it true that the Happiness City’s City Lord is in your hands?” He asked.
“That’s right.” Sima You Yue continued, “He wanted to kill me, so I captured him. I’d kill him if I wasn’t afraid of trouble.”
Old Man Li was speechless upon hearing that.. Wouldn’t it still create trouble if she captured him? If that was true, then she wouldn’t have gotten into that situation just now, right?
