Chapter 2091: Parting

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

Sima You Yue was reluctant, but she followed the maid.

After they left, Hua Wu Xiang asked Envoy Zuo: “What are your thoughts on this matter?”

“Commander, you know that I have a good relationship with Nan Yu Miao, so I didn’t believe it at first. However, these two people look extraordinary, and knowing that their strength is more powerful than we can imagine, I think that what they’ve said is most probably true.” Envoy Zuo said.

“It’s precisely that they look extraordinary that it’s confusing. If this is the other party’s trick to lure us into a trap, then the person behind this is…” Although Hua Wu Xiang was angry about this matter, he didn’t let himself get carried away by his anger.

“Subordinate also hopes that this matter has been fabricated by these two people. Therefore, subordinate will investigate this matter personally. Everyone leaves a trace behind, if he really did it, we will surely find some evidence. If he didn’t do it, can those two people be handed over to subordinate?” Envoy Zuo said.

Hua Wu Xiang wanted him to avoid danger, but he remembered that Envoy You had also been killed. It was not so simple to leave such a secretive task to others, so he agreed.

It seemed he needed to find a replacement for Envoy You1soon.

When Envoy Zuo got his approval, he left immediately. The matters here could wait, the first and foremost task at hand was to find out what had happened in the matter that involved Nan Yu Miao.

Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu had been brought to a small courtyard. It was supposedly a courtyard, but there were only two or three rooms with an open space outside surrounded by walls. It was barely a courtyard.

Sima You Yue looked at the fairly clean room and pouted: “There is such a small place here, but I suppose at least they didn’t put us in prison.”

“I don’t think they have one here.” Wu Lingyu said.

Sima You Yue: “…”

Some things were better left unsaid.

“Do you think they have started investigating yet?” She changed the subject.

“I think so” Wu Lingyu said, “And I think it will be Envoy Zuo who is taking charge of the investigation.”

“That man? Can he do it?”

They could tell earlier that Envoy Zuo and Nan Yu Miao had a good relationship. If he were in charge of this matter, would he find out the truth?

“He will.” Wu Lingyu said with certainty.

“I suppose so.” Sima You Yue understood.

It was precisely because Envoy Zuo was close to Nan Yu Miao, that’s why he would investigate thoroughly. If it was just a normal matter, he would probably just cover it up for the sake of ease. However, when it came to the betrayal of his Master, if he had covered it up and Hua Wu Xiang had realised it, it would be the end of Envoy Zuo’s life.

Besides, Nan Yu Miao had indeed done such things, and as long as he investigated, he would find out the truth. Therefore, they needn’t worry.

Envoy Zuo also understood this meaning, therefore, he started his investigation the moment he had arrived at Happiness City. He was very diligent in his investigation, and when the evidence was handed to him, he restrained himself and didn’t allow his emotions to get in the way.

“Return to Great Bridge City!”

… …

When Hua Wu Xiang saw the evidence, the anger on his face slowly turned into a look of ruthlessness. He crushed the cup in his hand and gritted his teeth and said: “Mu Luo Feng, how dare you!”

Envoy Zuo was kneeling on the ground and he didn’t dare to speak. Hua Wu Xiang was not only angry about Nan Yu Miao’s betrayal. He was also angry that Mu Luo Feng had actually reached into his territory.

When Hua Wu Xiang’s anger had subsided a little, he said: “Commander, Mu Luo Feng is too audacious. We have been competing openly against each other over the years, but now he’s actually used underhand methods! If we hadn’t found out, the consequences would have been unimaginable! Commander, we can’t just let this go!”

“Since Mu Luo Feng dares to do something like this, he has no shame left. I, Hua Wu Xiang, will fight with him to the death!” Hua Wu Xiang said fiercely, “Send someone to check, other than Nan Yu Miao, who else dared to work for Mu Luo Feng. We will send them over!”

“Yes, Envoy Zuo knew that this would be a big clean up. It was impossible that Mu Luo Feng had only recruited Nan Yu Miao. To be precise, even someone as loyal as Nan Yu Miao had been turned, others would no doubt have been unable to withstand the temptation.

“Before we deal with this, we need to choose another Envoy. Who do you think is suitable…”

The two of them discussed the candidates for Envoy You together. After their discussion was over, the guards came in and reported that the two people who had been locked up had arrived.

“Commander, how should we deal with them?” Envoy Zuo didn’t have a good impression of those two people. If it weren’t for them, none of this would have happened.

Hua Wu Xiang didn’t want to see them either. Although without them, he wouldn’t have discovered these things and it would have caused them more trouble in the future, at the same time, they had also covered up a huge scandal for them and saved them from embarrassment.

“Tell them to release Nan Yu Miao and they can leave.” Hua Wu Xiang said coldly, “Tell them to leave Azure Dragon Soul Region. If I see them again, they will never be able to leave.”

“Yes!” The guard passed the orders down.

Envoy Zuo watched the guard leave and his eyes darkened.

“I know you want to deal with them, but our energy should be focused on dealing with Mu Luo Feng.” Hua Wu Xiang reminded him.

“Subordinate understands.”

Soon, the guard returned with a soul stone. Envoy Zuo took it and released Nan Yu Miao who was trapped inside it.

When Nan Yu Miao saw the sombre faces of Hua Wu Xiang and Envoy Zuo, he knew it was over for him.

At this time, they didn’t bother to ask about Nan Yu Miao’s situation.

Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu walked around the city then went directly to the city gate. With Hua Wu Xiang’s hand token, the soldiers didn’t make things difficult for them when they wanted to leave the city and let them out immediately.

Outside the city, Sima You Yue took out a soul stone and released Old Man Li.

“Thank you Young Miss You Yue.” Old Man Li said gratefully.

Sima You Yue had gone to Old Du’s house and rescued Old Man Li and took him out of the city.

“There shouldn’t be anyone in Great Bridge Mountain now, if you want to go there, there shouldn’t be any danger.” Sima You Yue said.

Old Man Li was excited, he knew what Sima You Yue meant. Now that there was no one in Great Bridge Mountain, he could get more resources if he went now. This kind of opportunity was rare to come by for a loose cultivator!

Sima You Yue smiled at him: “Go. Take care of yourself.”

Old Man Li bowed to her, then he headed towards Great Bridge Mountain. He knew that this time it was really farewell and they would probably not have another chance to meet in this lifetime.

When he thought of this, he felt a little lost in his heart. He kept walking forward and didn’t allow himself to look back. Since they were parting, they should part freely.

Sima You Yue waited for him to leave before she walked in the other direction with Wu Lingyu. However, they didn’t leave the area of Great Bridge Mountain. Instead, they chose a secluded place to rest and listened to the news the scarlet bees brought to them daily.
