Chapter 664: How about setting up a faction?

Sima You Yue took a few days to tend to her wounds, and with the help of the soul fluid, managed to heal up quite a bit. She no longer needed to be forced into bed rest.

She just couldn’t get it. It was clear that only her soul was injured, so why did each and every single one of them stop her from getting off the bed and insist that she had to stay there?

After thinking about how she had lain in bed for such a long time, she couldn’t stop huffing about one thing- this was completely illogical!

After a week had gone by, she was finally allowed off the bed. She really felt that if she had laid there any longer, she would have gone crazy.

Today, with Ximen Feng’s support, she was finally allowed out of the room as she walked into the courtyard.

“Air on the outsider is truly so much fresher.” She took a deep breath as she sighed with contentment.

*Look at you, you complained that we wouldn’t let you out, but you’re already huffing and puffing after taking a few steps. I wanted you to stay in bed for two more days but you refused.” Ximen Feng complained.

“Dear Feng, if I continued to lie in bed any longer, mold would have grown on my body, okay?” Sima You Yue sat on a fancy chair in the courtyard while Ximen Feng sat on the floor beside her.

“Can mold grow on a human body? You’re not some sort of weird creature, okay?” Ximen Feng helplessly covered her with a blanket.

Because her soul had gotten injured, she was always afraid of the cold. This was why Ximen Feng specially prepared a blanket for her.

“Oh right, have you seen Xiang Yi recently?” Sima You Yue asked.

Ximen Feng’s hand shook subtly as he said in a low voice, “She had to leave for something.”

“Is it because of the ambush that happened the last time?” Sima You Yue asked as she narrowed her eyes.

Ximen Feng pondered for a moment, but he still decided to answer her honestly, “Yes.”

“Judging by her reaction, I’m guessing she knows who did it?’

“Yes.”

“Oh? She went even though she knows who did it?” Sima You Yue cuddled inside her blanket, “We’re not people who are easy to bully. If I’m irritated, I can just get Little Roc to lead the bird clans over to pressure them. We’ll definitely leave a hair behind.”

“…” Ximen Feng glared at her speechlessly, “You’ve really grown here, haven’t you.”

“Isn’t it precisely because I have, that I don’t want to let them off easily?” Sima You Yue thought of how she had almost lost her younger brother, and how Dear Feng had almost lost her. It filled her with unadulterated rage and she almost couldn’t stop herself from killing them off.

“Relax, I won’t let them off.” Ximen Feng said through gritted teeth.

“Dear Feng, have you ever thought of setting up a faction yourself?” Sima you yue suddenly suggested.

“Setting up a faction?”

“Yeah! Although the Kong Valley rescued you, you didn’t join under them. So, you’re not one of their Kong valleymen.” Sima You Yue explained, “Furthermore, we have more than just one or two enemies. We can’t just defeat them on our own strength.”

“You’re right.”

“Whether it be the Zong Zheng Clan, the Yin Yang Palace, or the Sage Pavilion backing them, which one of them doesn’t have a solid foundation? Cough cough-”

Sima You Yue coughed a few more times and continued speaking once she was well again, “Although we have Little Roc, and I am the young valley master of the Divine Devil Valley, we can’t drag them into our personal grudges. The bird clans and the Divine Devil Valley have no obligation to join in our revenge. That’s why the best way would be for us to set up our own faction.”

“I’ve thought of this before as well, but it’s too hard to set up a new faction. We don’t have enough resources. That’s why it’s always remained a dream.” Ximen Feng said.

“Yeah. You can’t just set up a faction overnight. But it’s not like we hit a dead end.” Sima You Yue said, “What a faction needs the most is an alchemist, an armament master, an array master and a beast tamer. Apart from having an armament master, we have the rest in the bag. With the spirit pagoda, the other things are not a problem. As for the tools, in any case, I’m free right now. If I have the time, I can research into it in the meantime. Fatty told me before that it’s not too tough.”

“Then, have you ever considered letting them join as well?” Ximen Feng asked.

Sima You Yue shook her head, “I’m creating this faction for the sake of revenge. If they were to enter, I’m afraid that I would waste their talents. I won’t ask them to join, but neither will I forbid them.”

“Actually, it would be better if they joined us. If it were so, we wouldn’t be lacking in any occupations.” Ximen Feng said.

“Although I feel the same way… sigh. We’ll know once we ask them.” Sima You Yue said.

“Aside from specialised spirit masters, there is something else that we lack.” Ximen Feng said, “The most important barrier to entry is a mine for resources. We don’t have that at all. Right now, all the mines that are being discovered go to the sects. We have to find a way to obtain one, and that’s easier said than done.”

Sima You Yue wasn’t worried at all, saying, “Have you forgotten my other identity?”

“A Seeker Spirit Master?”

“That’s right!” She said with confidence, “Right now, it’s fine even if all the current mines are taken. We just have to find one that hasn’t been!”

When she saw that Ximen Feng clearly didn’t believe her, she took out a book and flipped it open to the first chapter.

“‘Soul’s Search for the Root’?!” Ximen Feng cried out softly when he saw the title.

“With this, do you think I, your Big Sis, would be unable to become a Great Seeker Spirit Master? Brat, don’t look down on your Big Sis, you hear me?” She kept the book away as she stretched a hand forward to poke him on his forehead. “In any case, even if I couldn’t, I could just get Third Mo to help us. Do you think we’ll be unable to find it, then?”

“But we haven’t been able to locate a mine this entire half a year.” Ximen Feng said, “Even if you were able to find one later on, we still have to get people to join our faction. But…”

“But a newly formed faction would be hard pressed to find members, much less those that would die for us?” Sima You Yue voiced out Ximen Feng’s worry.

“Yeah.” Ximen Feng nodded, “Our group is nothing like what our clan’s strength used to be. Our clansmen would naturally be willing to expand effort on behalf of the clan, but the same cannot be said for the others. Even if we gave them pills and spirit tools, when push comes to shove, they may abandon us.”

“That’s why we can’t use just anyone.” Sima You Yue smiled.

“Not just anyone?” Ximen Feng was confused. If he pushed it, he could say that he understood what she meant. But he was totally lost right now.

“Yeah. We can’t just use any ordinary person. That means we have to use someone who’s not average!” Sima You Yue said with a smile.

“Who isn’t considered an average person?”

“Those who people want to die but they don’t want to. As long as they can keep living, they wouldn’t hesitate to give it all. As for us, we’ll be their condition for living.” Sima You Yue said.

Ximen Feng finally understood what she meant, “You want to make use of fugitives?”

“That’s right!” Sima You Yue nodded, “Those fugitives who manage to survive up till now will be rather talented. They won’t just be able to take on ten men at once, but forty, fifty, sixty or seventy shouldn’t be a problem.”

“That is a good idea. But if we’re talking about those people, firstly, they may not be willing. Secondly, even the clans that are against them would become a problem for us.”
