Chapter 782: One step behind

Sima You Yue lay on the bed, her eyes filled with gratitude.

They thought that because she was hurt and tired, she was unable to hear their conversation, so they had not tried to hide it from her.

Who would have thought that she would hear the entire conversation clearly.

Perhaps, for someone of her level, receiving an injury as grievous as her would really make them so weak that they wouldn’t be able to hear the conversations of those around them.

However, her mental strength had always been much stronger than others. This kind of wound would not hinder her.

She sighed, thinking about how Xu Jin and Ge Lang were so kind to her even though they had not met for a long time, but they were still so sincere towards her.

A master for a day, a father for life. She had yet to do anything, but they had acted first.

“Master, Teacher Ge…”

She wanted to look for them to stop them from going. Mo Sha was right with her, and she would have a plan for when that time came. But she could not move, and she could not go look for them.

“I’ll just tell them once they return…” She thought before she stopped thinking. She had wanted to just rest for a moment, but had fallen asleep instead.

By the time she woke up, an entire day had passed. Because of the medicine and her physique, she had already healed by more than half.

She got out of bed, but she was the only one left in the courtyard. Principal Yuan and the others were no longer around, and the barrier was gone as well.

She walked one round around the area, but nobody was around. She left the courtyard and returned to parting garden

She thought of going to look for Xu Jin to tell him not to head over there for her, but instead she heard something that was out of her expectations.

“What did you say? Master has already gone?!” Sima You Yue was shocked and immediately grabbed on to Su Xiao Xiao’s clothes.

Xu Xiao Xiao didn’t think that Sima You Yue would be so shocked and was momentarily stunned, saying, “Master said that he had something to do, so he left last night.”

“Do you know where Master went?”

Su Xiao Xiao shook his head, saying, “Master said that he would be with Principal and the others. He said that he was going somewhere far away, and would not be back for a time. Right, Master left his life jade behind.”

“Master left his life jade behind?!” Sima You Yue was flustered as she released Su Xiao Xiao and bolted outside.

“Junior, you just came back. Where are you going?” Su Xiao Xiao shouted at her back.

It was a pity that she disappeared leaving Su Xiao Xiao behind in the dust.

“Sigh, he ran off so fast. I haven’t got to ask how he was feeling!” He shook his head before taking a broom by the side to sweep the courtyard.

Sima You Yue anxiously ran to Mao San Quan’s office. She didn’t wait for them to announce her arrival as she immediately pushed the doors open.

“Director Mao…” She ran in and saw that Mao San Quan was currently speaking to another teacher. It was only then that she realised and stood where she was, a little embarrassed.

“You’re awake?” Mao San Quan was a little surprised when he saw Sima You Yue charging in.

“Yes.” Sima You Yue said as she lowered her head.

Mao San Quan said to the teacher, “We’ll settle the ranking matches based on what we have said today. You can head down, first.”

“Yes, Director Mao.” The teachers stood up to leave and cupped his hands in salute to Mao San Quan before leaving.

When he passed Sima You Yue, she bowed to him.

“Why did you run over here before recovering fully? What is the rush?” Mao San Quan asked.

“Eh that, I want to ask if Master and the others.. Have they already left?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Yes.”

“Are you able to contact Master and the others?”

“No.”

“No? Aren’t you and Master always in contact?”

“They went over there, so we can’t send any word over.” Mao San Quan said.

“Then Master, he… what do we do!” Sima You Yue was incredibly worried.

Mao San Quan saw her anxiety and guessed, “You heard what we talked about yesterday?”

Sima You Yue thought it over for a moment before nodding, “…Yes. That is why I wish to stop them.”

“It would have been good if you were conscious yesterday night.” Mao San Quan said, “Now that they have already gone, I cannot send word.”

“Is there no way?”

“There is no way.”

Sima You Yue fell deep into thought.

“You don’t have to be too worried.” Mao San Quan looked at her, “Although we cannot send word, they can. We’ve already agreed that they are to send word based on a set time. If they disappear, the sect will send them to find them.”

“Okay.” Sima You Yue was solemn.

“Is there anything else?” Mao San Quan asked.

“Nope.”

“You have yet to finish healing. You should head back to rest.” Mao San Quan said.

“Yes.” Sima You Yue bowed before leaving.

“Right, there are ranking matches held in three months. You guys should prepare early.”

“…yes.”

Sima You Yue walked out from the office before heaving a sigh. She went to Sima You Ming and the other’s house and happened to bump into them on the way out.

“Eldest Bro, Second Bro, where are you going?”

Sima you Ming and Sima You Qi’s eyes shone with happiness when they saw her.

“Fifth Bro, are you better?”

“Fifth Bro, what are you doing out here?”

The both of them spoke simultaneously.

“I had something I had to do. My wounds have already pretty much healed.” Sima You Yue said with a smile, “Where are you guys going?”

“We went to accept a mission earlier, remember? So we’re going to turn it in now.” Sima You Ming said, “We initially thought that the flamingo eggs were with you, so we wanted to hand the third one in. Now that you’re here, we can hand in the first one too.”

Sima You Yue gave a thought and the flamingo eggs appeared in front of them.

“I still feel unwell, so I won’t be going with you.”

“We can submit it anytime. Since you’re here, we’ll accompany you in.” Sima You Ming said.

“That’s right. Let’s go in.” Sima You Qi saw that she was still pale, and his eyes filled with heartache.

Sima You Yue went in, and Sima You Ran and Sima You Le were surprised and joyful at the same time.

“Fifth Bro, you’re finally better. When we heard Blue Blade and the others, we were almost scared to death!” Sima You Le stretched forth his hands to wrap her in a hug.

“Blue Blade was the one who told you guys?” Sima You Yue returned the hug as she asked.

“Wasn’t it?” Sima You Le let go of her, “At that time, he came to look for us and said that the ghost clansmen had hurt you. Even Teacher Xu was helpless to do anything, so he took you to the principal. We were scared silly. Who was Teacher Xu? And even he had no idea what to do. How bad was your condition?”

“Yeah, Fourth Bro was about to cry out of fear.” Sima You Ming teased.

“Weren’t you the same.” Sima You Le retorted, “At that time, I wonder who picked at their fingers until they bled?”

“Fifth Bro, what happened to you that day?” Sima You Ran asked.

“You should go and call them over. I’ll tell you all together…”
