Chapter 493: Taking her back as a bride

Bei Gong Ao’s expression changed. He forgot that Sima You Yue was an alchemist as well. He said with an embarrassed smile, “It’s possible that there are people refining in the surrounding courtyards.”

“That’s true. All the branches in this alchemist clan can refine pills.” Sima You Yue smiled as she walked past. She stopped questioning him, which allowed Bei Gong Ao to release a breath he had been holding.

When they reached the place that Sima You Yue had been staying in temporarily, Bei Gong Ao wanted to leave quickly. The statement that Sima You Yue had commented casually had caused his old face to perceive something. He had thought that she had realised something, but was just showing a nonchalant expression.

Sima You Yue watched Bei Gong Ao’s retreating back and thought of the words he said just now. Hatred filled her heart, that was on the same level as the one she felt for Bei Gong Er.

It was truly this kind of person who could produce this kind of daughter!

After entering the courtyard, she looked for Goshawk King and got him to pretend to send a person back alone, as if he was going to head back to take the Buddha Lotus.

The Goshawk King looked pointedly at someone, who then went out. He turned back into his original appearance and flew back. The Bei Gon clansmen saw that there was a goshawk leaving, and felt that he was definitely heading back to retrieve the Buddha Lotus. Thus, they devoted themselves even more into researching how to refine the pill.

Sima You Yue introduced Wu Lingyu to the Goshawk King before finding a chair to sit on and taking a bite out of a spirit fruit.

Goshawk King saw her nonchalant actions and asked, “Did you really give the Bei Gong clan the pill method?”

“I did.” Sima You Yue nodded.

“You could really bear to?”

“I didn’t say I gave them the real one.”

“You gave them a fake one?” Goshawk King looked at her with suspicion, “I was around when you gave them that pill method, and the paper didn’t seem like something from the present. One could tell how ancient it was at a glance.”

“You can fake that appearance.” Sima You Yue said, “But the accuracy of that pill method is about 80-90 percent accurate. Otherwise, how could it entice those old farts? I merely changed it a bit, making the end result completely different. They can only ever stare at the recipe in agony.”

The Goshawk King stared helplessly at Sima You Yue, only saying after a long moment, “They’ve always said that humans were sly. It seems like that’s really true.”

“Wrong.” Sima You Yue stretched out the hand that was holding the spirit fruit and wriggled her fingers. “Not all of them are sly. Some are sly, some are simple. Some are simple sometimes, and sly at others.”

Goshawk king shook his head, “Humans are really complex.”

“You’re right about that.” Sima You Yue took a bite of the spirit fruit, “Compared to the spirit beasts’ who are powerful and pure, humans are truly much more complicated. However, if you spend more time with humans, you’ll realise that humans are pretty interesting as well.”

Goshawk King shook his head. He didn’t take what Sima You Yue said to heart. He just had to interact with her to know that humans were sly creatures. He had abandoned all thought of interacting with humans and planned to take his people back with him once this issue was settled.

Sima You Yue saw the way the Goshawk King was acting, and knew he didn’t have any such plans. However, she had come to ask him for help and, although he had helped her on behalf of Little Roc, it was still a favour. She couldn’t force him.

“Right, when we’re done, don’t head back just yet. Stay for a little while.” She said.

Goshawk King nodded. He had heard Sima You Yue’s analysis before. This situation might end up involving the three great powers of Autumn Moon City. When the time came, he would have to protect them if it came to a battle.

When night came, Sima You Yue got Little Roar to head to the prison one more time to ascertain Yin Lan and Bei Gong Hang’s situation. She also casually updated them that Bei Gong Tang would demand for them on the second day and she would lead them out of here. She wanted them to fully prepare.

Alright. Actually, they had nothing they had to prepare for. They merely had to prepare their hearts.

Little Roar left after passing the word, leaving behind an extremely anxious pair of mother and son.

At this moment, in a courtyard in another part of the Bei Gong clan, Bei Gong Er was discussing some things with her parents.

Gu Yun Er furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at her daughter, saying, “You really want to be with him?”

Bei Gong Er nodded her head definitively, “Mother, think about it. He’s someone from the central regions. If I can follow him, wouldn’t I be able to head to the central regions as well? Furthermore, your positions would be elevated as well. Mother, this is a great opportunity! He also looks elegant and smart, with an amiable personality. Wouldn’t it be a dream come true for me to end up with someone like him?

“But if you go so far away, it will be difficult for mother to visit.” Gu Yun Er looked at her daughter unwillingly.

Bei Gong Er looked upset and said, “Mother, compared to being able to see me often and letting me go far in life, which is more important? Mother, you cannot take away my lifetime of happiness because you cannot bear to let me go. In any case, wouldn’t you still have my younger brother even if you let me go? Isn’t it the same if he’s with you?”

“If our daughter wants to go, then just let her go.” Bei Gong Ao helped her from the side, “It makes her happy, and that Si Yue person isn’t too bad either. He’s compatible with our Little Er. In any case, being able to form a relationship with the central region will lift our status of the Bei Gong clan. Look, the Earth Palace and the Bei Gong Clan have long joined together, but have we not yet acted against the Yin clan? It’s because they have a relationship with the central regions. If we also have a relationship with the inner regions, we will be able to exterminate the Yin clan. Isn’t that also your wish?”

“Exactly. Mother, see how understanding Father is.” Bei Gong Er smiled and said when she heard what Bei Gong Ao said.

“Sigh, since your father thinks this way as well, then you can do as you wish.” Gu Yun Er said helplessly.

“Then Father will head over to Si Yue and sound him out tomorrow, to see if he has any intention of doing so.” Bei Gong Ao said.

“Thank you , Father. Then, I’ll head back first.” Bei Gong Er left happily.

Whether or not Si Yue had this kind of intentions, she would definitely have to become his woman. If he was willing, that would be good. Otherwise, she would have to make an opportunity where he would be unable to not marry her.

“Men, come.”

“Young Miss.”

“Go and look for Granny Sun. Tell her I need that kind of pill and tell her to prepare two sets…”

On the morning of the second day, Bei Gong Ao came to look for Sima You Yue, and got his men to invite her for tea.

Sima You Yue had no idea what Bei Gong Ao was thinking, so she followed the people he sent over.

“Young Lord Sima, please sit.” Bei Gong Ao waved his hand, and invited Sima You Yue to sit at the seat across him.

Sima You Yue set down unreservedly, saying, “I wonder what Young Master Bei Gong has called me for?”

“Ha ha, nothing much. It’s just that my father and grandfather have told me to be a better host. Thinking of how you I hit it off quite well with Young Lord Si Yue, I thought of inviting you to drink some tea.” Bei Gong Ao said with a smile, “This is Jade Dragon Ginseng tea that we bought from the central regions. Young Lord Sima, please try it.”

“Young Master Bei Gong is too kind. Although the Jade Dragon Ginseng Tea isn’t real ginseng, it’s famous because it has been grown near ginseng. There are very few of them harvested from the mountain in a year. I never thought that I would be able to drink this.” She said while taking a sip. “Delicious!”

Bei Gong Ao smiled happily when he heard her say this. This Jade Dragon Ginseng Tea would commonly mislead others into thinking it was made with ginseng. Only those from the inner regions would know its true identity. Since she could say it so casually, this proved she was from the central regions.
