Chapter 903: Former residence, Ruins, Heartache
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
North city district of Ji City used to be the most bustling town of the zone, because the biggest clan resided there —— Ximen Clan.
Previously, Ximen Clan’s population already took up one tenth of the city, just the power and resources took up a quarter and houses took up a large area in the district of north city. Their power was well known those years.
But today, it became a restricted area in Ji City, ruins were stretched up to ten miles, it was rumoured that it was burning for days and nights and didn’t stop burning until the last day which was then extinguished by heavy rain.
Hearsay, because Ximen Clan offended Yin Yang Palace, that was why the entire clan was exterminated, whoever dared to come in contact with them would be implicated.
Slowly, nobody came here, residences nearby moved away, slowly, it became Ji City’s most overgrowned ground.
Broken well, weeds everywhere.
Ji City rarely had rain, but today there was light rain, once the raindrop landed on the body, it wet their shirt and their hair.
Sima You Yue and Ximen Feng stood in front of the ruins and didn’t see any movement at all.
Wu Lingyu, Little Seven and Shi Qian Zhi who insisted on following, three of them stood far away looking at them.
Shi Qian Zhi held onto an oiled paper umbrella, stared at their back and asked, ” Are both of them frozen up? Why are they not moving for so long?”
Little Seven and Wu Lingyu ignored him.
He wouldn’t understand You Yue and Ximen Feng’s heartache even if they explained to him, why waste their breath?
Also, they can’t tell him You Yue’s stuff.
“Elder Sister, let’s go in and take a look.” Ximen Feng’s voice was a little hoarse, sounding like it was dispersed with the wind. “Look, our family name plate wasn’t completely burnt, there’s still a little left.”
Sima You Yue followed his gaze. Half of the name plate that was written ‘Ximen Clan’ was burnt, leaving the other half with the word Xi on it.
She walked over, picked up the plate, used her sleeve and wiped the droplet on it and said,” This nameplate was hand written by great grandpa and he hanged it personally. That time, everybody praised him for having good handwriting.”
“Right, great grandpa was the most narcissistic.” Ximen Feng recollected the past,” Great grandpa also left a lot of precious calligraphy, but I guessed it’s all destroyed by the fire.”
“These great flames, I’ll definitely return it to them! Sima You Yue said hatefully,” Zong Zheng Clan, Yin Yang Palace and those who set the fire, I want them to be the same!”
“We will make them pay blood for blood!” Ximen Feng clenched his fist tightly.
Both of them walked into the ruins, all the houses were burnt down, the rockery phosphorite was also knocked over, those decorations that were there were all stolen by others, those that can’t be taken were destroyed. The courtyard was in a mess.
Sima You Yue stood in the ruins, closed her eyes, as if she saw the scene of fire that year, she saw the clan members getting poisoned, they were unable to fight back and got killed, seeing those people laugh savagely, laughing while destroying and setting everything on fire.
She seemed like she saw her mother shouted to her to live a good life…
“Feng’er, have the corpses of dad, mom and the rest of the clan been taken care of?”
“It’s been taken care of.” Ximen Feng continued, “It’s taken care of by Big Brother Qin.”
“Qin Mo…. I owe him another favor.” Sima You Yue said.
Spatial tunnel opened, Qin Mo and an elder walked out.
Sima You Yue was mentioning him and here he was.
“You Yue, Feng’er.” He flew to their side.
“Why are you here?” Sima You Yue asked while looking at them.
“I asked someone to keep watch here and heard that someone came, so I came over to see.” Qin Mo continued, ” Didn’t expect that it was you who came back.”
“For so many years you’ve been keeping watch here?” Sima You Yue looked at him astonishingly.
“Yeah. I thought that things happened too fast that time, someone should have survived because they weren’t here during the disaster.” Qin Mo continued, “Those who truly miss Ximen Clan would definitely come back here to have a look, so I sent someone here to keep watch and inform me if somebody came. So I can help your family.”
“Thank you, Mo.” Sima You Yue glanced at him with gratitude.
“I was sealed when it happened, if not I wouldn’t let you all…” Qin Mo continued,”For now, I can only help you as much I can. Fortunately this few years, someone came, I think you will be happy to see them.”
“There are still people alive? Where are they?”
“Yes. I did what they wanted, hid them in a mountain range nearby. That place is under the influence of Qin’s family, Yin Yang Palace won’t find them there.” Qin Mo felt embarrassed and continued,” The last time I saw you I was too excited and forgot about this, if not you would have known of their news earlier.”
“It’s okay, it’s the same.” Sima You Yue said.
If she knew earlier, she might not want to see them anyway, she was…. Scared….
Ximen Feng saw her facial expression and read her mind, embraced her shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, they definitely won’t blame you.”
“I…..” Sima You Yue glanced at him, her eyes filled with fear.
“If they know you siblings are still alive, they would be so happy instead.” Qin Mo said, “Also, your clan’s skeletons are all buried there…”
The last point, which she can’t escape.
“Then we shall go see them. Since it’s my fault, if they are to blame me, I will take all the responsibilities.” Sima You Yue said.
“Sister, you…”
Ximen Feng looked at Sima You Yue helplessly, things that happened at that time weren’t even her fault, but she kept blaming herself, it made him feel bad.
“Let’s go, we will go offer sacrifices to our parents.” Sima You Yue said.
They left the ruins, Little Seven and the rest walked over.
“You You.” Wu Lingyu called You Yue’s name, but his gaze was at Qin Mo.
This guy, why was he here again?!
“Holy Son, Your Majesty.” Qin Mo nodded in greetings.
“Didn’t expect Master Qin to be here too” Wu Lingyu said while smiling, the tone and expression were the same as last time.
“Yue Yue, are you ok?” Little Seven saw Sima You Yue’s eyes was red and knew that she definitely cried earlier.
“I’m okay.” Sima You Yue smiled at her, then looked at Shi Qian Zhi and said, “There’s a Memory Restaurant here, you can stay there for a few days. I have something to handle, I will look for you when I’m done. But it will be better if you are willing to develop antidotes now.”
You want me to work now? What a black hearted guy!
Shi Qian Zhi looked at her and took back his words. He was kind, for the sake of her bad mood, he would let it go.
“I feel it’s better if you don’t come back to look for me.” After he finished his sentence, he held his oiled paper umbrella and walked away gracefully.
Sima You Yue saw him like this and thought of a word that suits him best—— Attention seeker!
“Yue Yue, where are we going?” Little Seven asked.
“We are going to find my family, to… offer prayers to my parents.”
