Chapter 488: Probing

Sima You Yue replied without wavering, “I don’t have a contract with any goshawk. However, we did take one here, and it was really fast. It’s faster than the other birds by quite a bit.”

“That’s really nice!” Bei Gong Er said enviously, “I’ve always wanted to try, but I’ve never gotten the chance.”

“Haha…” Sima You Yue smiled, but she just didn’t say what she knew she meant.

Bei Gong Er saw that Sima You Yue did not follow up, so a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes. However, she still smiled as she asked, “How long is Young Lord Sima going to stay? If you are going to stay for long, I can bring you around the nearby places. I know of many nice ones.”

“There’s no need.” Sima You Yue rejected her straightforwardly, “I’m only here because I have something to do. I only have these two days of rest because my ingredients have yet to mature and I have to wait for them to get delivered. Once the ingredients are sent over, you guys will help me to refine the pills and I will be on my way. That’s why I’m afraid that I will be unable to go out and play with Young Miss Bei Gong.”

“That’s really a pity.” Bei Gong Er said with regret, “I wonder where Young Master Sima lives? I’ve never heard of the Sima clan in the cities nearby!”

“My Sima Clan is not from the central area.” Sima You Yue replied.

“It’s not a clan from the central area?” Bei Gong Er said with surprise, “Then why did you come so far to look for an alchemist?”

“Sigh…” Sima You Yue shook her head, staying, “Isn’t it because the Monarch PIll is too hard to refine that I had to look for the Buddha Lotus? I had no choice but to come here. You know as well that one has to refine the pill very quickly after collecting the Buddha Lotus. Otherwise, it becomes useless. Honestly, I have yet to see the Buddha lotus myself. Once it has been sent over, Goshawk King will send his men to get collect the Buddha Lotus. If we are still unable to refine it despite that, sigh, we may have to resign ourselves to fate!”

The beasts in the spirit pagoda were rolling their eyes. The Master really had talent in lying!

Sima You Yue was cursing inwardly. This Bei Gong clan actually sent Bei Gong Er to probe her. Were they drunk or what!

Bei Gong Er saw that Sima You Yue was rather sorrowful and said, “Our Bei Gong clan is a clan of alchemists, and have a few eighth ranked alchemists. I heard that they have gathered together to research this pill, so there shouldn’t be any problems when the time comes.”

“It would be best if it were as you’ve said. However, I should make my own preparations in case it fails. If it fails, sigh, honestly, I really dare not think of the consequences.” Sima You Yue said moodily.

“Ah, it’s Little Er’s fault. I’ve troubled Young Lord Sima. To make up for it, why don’t I treat you to a few drinks?”

“Wine? This… I’d rather not. I’m not good at drinking and get drunk easily.” Sima You Yue said.

“We’re cultivators, so how could you get drunk so easily?” Bei Gong Er said, “Little Er really wants to make it up to Young Lord Sima, could it be that Young Lord isn’t willing to spend time with Little Er?”

“No no no, how could I be unwilling to spend time with you!” Sima You Yue quickly waved her hands, looking really trouble. She finally sighed, saying, “Since Young Miss Bei Gong has said it this way, it wouldn’t be good if I kept refusing. Let’s drink a little together, then.”

“Then I’ll invite you to a famous restaurant in Autumn Moon city. This Memory Restaurant has already been opened for over ten years. However, its dishes are pretty good. Especially its wine, Sweet Perfume Wine- it can’t be found elsewhere!” Bei Gong Er said.

Sima You Yue was stunned when she heard the name Memory Restaurant. There was one here as well?

“Young Lord Sima, what are you thinking about?” Bei Gong Er asked when she saw that she was zoning out. She looked rather puzzled.

“Oh, nothing much.” Sima You Yue shook her head, saying, “I was thinking that it’d been a long time since I ate at Memory Restaurant, so I really missed the taste of it!”

“You have a Memory Restaurant there as well?” Bei Gong Er asked with shock.

“Right, there are many memory restaurants around. Didn’t you know?”

Bei Gong Er shook her head, saying, “Although I know that the Memory Restaurant is huge, I’ve been in Autumn Moon city since I was young, and have not gone to other places these twenty plus years. That’s why I never knew. That’s why I really wish I had a powerful flying beast who could take me to many places.”

Sima You Yue looked at Bei Gong Er. She really looked like a young girl who had never seen the outside world. If it were not for the fact that the scarlet bees told her she was always bossy and arrogant with a proud attitude, she would have been fooled.

“You’re the young miss of the Bei Gong clan, you will definitely have many opportunities to see the world.” Sima You Yue said. “Let’s go back to Memory Restaurant.”

A short while later, Sima You Yue and Bei Gong Er arrived at the memory restaurant.

When the shopkeeper saw Sima You Yue enter, his eyes flashed and he gave the waiter an order to go to the back hall.

“Young Miss Bei Gong, you’re here. Do you want the same private room as last time?” The waiter went forward and asked eagerly.

“Yes, I want that one.” When Bei Gong Er was speaking to that person, she released a superior air. “We’ll go up on our own, just give us one of each of your special dishes. Give us two of your best wine as well.”

“Alright, one of each special dish, and two first ranked wines.” The waiter said as he went to the kitchen.

Bei Gong Er took Sima You Yue to her favourite room. It was the best room in the entire restaurant.

When Sima You Yue entered, she saw that there was one level above so she casually asked, “Are there rooms above?”

“No.” Bei Gong Er glanced at that level, saying, “Those are restricted areas. Guests are not permitted to go upstairs.”

“So this place only has the large hall and the rooms on the second floor?”

“That’s right. Although this place is small, business is thriving. Even monks who eat very little are commonly seen packing this place. One has to reserve rooms many days in advance! Only this room and the other room is always reserved.” Bei Gong Er said.

“Is that the Yin clan’s one?” Sima You Yue heard the voices coming from over there. It sounded like people were drinking.

Bei Gong Er pursed her lips and glared at that area, saying, “Not really. The Yin clan loves to fight with us. We booked the rooms a long time in advance, but they ran over to book it and offered a higher price. Hateful.”

Sima You Yue didn’t have a good impression of the Yin clan either, and didn’t really care who was inside either. The two of them entered the room.

The waiter first delivered some tea. Its flavour was similar to the memory restaurant in Innumerable Green City.

A short while later, the waiter delivered many dishes along with two high quality wines.

A few minutes later, Sima You Yue’s face was red and her eyes were glossed over. She really looked drunk.

“It looks like Young Lord Sima really cannot handle your drink. Little Er initially thought that you were just giving an excuse!”

“I really cannot drink.” Sima You Yue said with a wave of her hand.

Bei Gong Er lowered her eyes and asked intentionally while looking at her, “Young Lord said earlier that you weren’t from central area. I wonder where you live?”
