Chapter 788: Gossiping idly

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Jun Zhe droned lazily, but it gave You Yue a certain kind of peace.

“Didn’t I go over to treat Yuan yuan today? I found something weird after that.” Sima You Yue fell into contemplation, leaving a window of silence before continuing, “She was bitten by a Mirage worm. This isn’t false.”

“Mirage worm? Isn’t that something that’s only present in the violet water swamp? What did they go to the swamp for?” Han Miao Shuang asked curiously.

It truly was easy to talk to an expert.

“Most shoes only state that the mirage worm lives in the violet water swarm, and many know of this fact as well. What they don’t know is that it is only found in the cemeteries.” Sima You Yue said, “I asked Xue Rong and the others whether or not they had gone to anyplace special, but she said no. They said that she had been bitten when they were carrying their mission out at the swamp.”

“If it was just an average cemetery, there would be no need to keep it a secret. But she was unwilling to tell me the truth, so you’re guessing that there’s something else going on?”

Su Xiao Xiao asked.

“Mm.” Sima You Yue nodded, “But I’m just asking because I’m curious. Shu Yuan Yuan was terrified when she woke up, and it seemed that many had died. I’m guessing that the sect will receive word about this soon.”

“Why?” Su Xiao XIao asked.

“Since so many people have died, the cliff mountain team will have to give the sect an explanation.” Jiang Jun Zhe said, “Then we’ll just have to see whether or not the sect releases word about it.”

“I doubt so.” Han Miao Shuang guessed, “It definitely isn’t a small matter if the cliff mountain team has kept it a secret for so long. Otherwise, they would have told the sect immediately upon returning. Now that the three great meetings are approaching with the ranking matches of priority, this is something of primary importance to the sect. I doubt that the teachers will release word of it at this time, and scare the students.”

That was true.

“It seems that I won’t have the chance to find out what’s going on.” Sima You Yue said.

“If you want to know, then you can go to look for Director Mao in two days.” Jiang Jun Zhe said, “Help me roast another eggplant.”

Sima You Yue took another eggplant and roasted it. When she saw Su Xiao Xiao and Han Miao Shuang looking at her, she took out another two before saying, “I don’t want to go out now, okay. The students of the sect are too crazy.”

“Ha ha ha- then you can hide in here. Anyway, you have nothing to do. You can prepare for the three great meetings here.” Su Xiao Xiao laughed.

“Yeah. I think the same way.” Sima You Yue said.

“Right, Junior. Tell us what happened in the dark forest. Master only mentioned a little bit about it, and didn’t go into detail.” Han Miao Shuang said, “Did you head to the dark forest right after leaving the sect?”

“No, we ended up in a really unfortunate event before we reached the dark forest.”

“What unfortunate event? Tell us.”

“Actually, nothing much. I just was sold by someone.” Sima You Yue thought about the West Coast Desert, and was still a little speechless about it.

“Pfft-” Han Miao Shuang spat out the wine in her mouth in an unglamorous manner.

“You were sold?” She pointed at Sima You Yue, her face a mask of disbelief.

Su Xiao Xiao looked at her blankly. She speechlessly produced a fireball to dry off the wine that Su Xiao Xiao had spit on her.

Even Jian Jun Zhe’s lazy pair of eyes lit up with interest.

“Come, tell your seniors. How did you end up getting sold? Your senior just loves listening to others suffer.”

“…”

Sima You Yue was speechless. How did she not realize how terrible her senior was, before?

“Junior Brother, ignore him. Tell us quickly. How did you end up getting sold?” Han Miao Shuang looked animatedly at Sima You Yue. Although her lips said not to care about Jiang Jun Zhe, why did it seem as if she was exactly the same as that guy?’

Sima You Yue took the roasted eggplants and put a layer of chili, then salt and a splash of vinegar before placing it on the plates in front of them. Then, she began, “Wasn’t it because the teleportation array in the sect was too lacking. It didn’t send us where we wanted to go, but sent us to the West Coast Desert.”

“West Coast Desert? That’s really far from the dark forest.” Han Miao Shuang said.

“Exactly.” Sima You Yue sighed, continuing, “The West Coast Desert is so big, and it was our first time there. We met an evil bald bird in the beginning, and because he was upset that we had beat him up, she randomly pointed in a direction and said that we would reach in two days. Then, we flew for two days but didn’t see a single shadow.”

“Pfft-” Han Miao Shuang laughed, “Who Would have thought you’d be duped by a bird.”

“So this was how you got sold?” Su Xiao Xiao Xiao asked.

“No, when I say sold, I really mean I was sold.” Sima You Yue siad.

“Guys, don’t interrupt.” Jiang Jun Zhe gave them a pointed look, and they both fell silent, letting Sima You Yue continue.

Sima You Yue looked at their bright and shiny eyeballs, thinking of skewering those.

“Then?”

“Then… when we realised that we had been duped, we could no longer find that bird. It just happened that we met a woman who looked quite beautiful. Mm. Her grace was one in ten thousand…”

Three black lines formed on Han Miao Shuang’s head. This brat was a girl herself. What was she doing focusing on that female for?

“With our past experience, we decided to take her with us. As such, we gave her money to take us to the nearest city.”

“Then she sold you?”

“Yeah. She took us to the city, but it was the residence of a sect. It specialised in mining.” Sima You Yue said, “That lady took their money before getting killed by Little Seven in one punch.”

“Ha ha ha-” Han Miao Shuang rapped her chopsticks heartily on the table, beyond herself with laughter, “You gave them money, but they sold you? Ha ha, how could you guys do something so stupid?”

“Was that sect the Brave Moon Sect?” Jiang Jun Zhe said.

“Yeah, it was them.” Sima You Yue siad, “They wanted us to put on the slave rings, then we set all their slaves free. Then a short while later, they destroyed everything.”

“Oh damn, those people were you?” Han Miao Shuang exploded in curses as she looked at Sima You Yue in shock.

Sima You Yue blinked her eyes in confusion as she looked at her.

“Earlier on, some students came back and told us that the Brave Moon Sect had invoked the ire of someone, and those people had exterminated their entire sect. So the one who had been spoken about like crazy, was you!”

“You guys know about it too?”

“Of course. Many in the sect still worship those youths. Who would have thought that it’d be you!” Han Miao Shuang said inconceivably.

“Perhaps the thing they regret the most, was to buy you in the West Coast Desert. Ha ha ha…”
