“Stop! Can’t you see that that person is barely holding on?” Luo Yi walked over and called out to those soldiers.
Everyone around them was stunned. There was actually someone who dared to publicly challenge those soldiers?
Thinking about the possible scenario that would play out, they retreated a few steps in order to avoid being mistaken as one of their companions.
Sima You Yue looked at Luo Liu sympathetically, asking, “Is he always like this?”
“No, he isn’t. Young Master… sigh…” Luo Liu felt exhausted. After following the Young Master out here, throughout the journey, he had to deal with the aftermath of everything he had done. This was originally his responsibility. However, whenever he told him not to do something, he just had to do that thing. Every time he got involved in something, he would blow it up. He felt like he would die of exhaustion one day.
He sighed, but he still ran out before something happened to Luo Yi and negotiated with those soldiers. They merely saw him take out a token and let the soldier look at it. Those soldiers then immediately turned respectful. In the end, Luo Yi was fine, and that person was no longer sentenced to forced labour.
The way the passersby looked at Luo Yi changed. Although they did not properly see how powerful the token was, what they were certain of was that this person was far from ordinary! They wondered which Young Master this man was from. If they were able to hook onto him, they would profit much!
Luo Yi saw the passionate look in their eyes and smiled. He wanted to say something but then recalled what Sima You Yue had said. Hence, he fell silent and ignored those people. He walked back to them directly. Because of his arrogant countenance, the passersby went even more crazy.
“Let’s leave this place first.” Sima You Yue said.
Whether or not she went with them, it was better for them to leave this place first. That was because the look in their eyes was getting even more frenzied.
Luo Yi directly took the both of them to his little courtyard and Sima You Yue did not protest. Those people tagged behind them the whole time, and had long since taken them to be one of his people.
After entering the little courtyard, Luo Yi’s aloof expression finally relaxed. He pulled a wacky expression and allowed the muscles on his face to relax.
“I’m exhausted. Hey, aren’t those people who maintain an expressionless face all day tired?” He patted his own face, “I only held this expression for a short while and it made my face so tired. Those who do it all day must be unable to move their faces anymore?”
After saying this, he even glanced at Wu Lingyu.
“You’ll get used to it.” Sima You Yue helped Wu Lingyu to respond.
“But, You Yue, you were right. In the past, although I have done something like this before, I have never seen this kind of outcome. The way they look at me is different from before.” Luo Yi was excited when he thought of what happened just now.
Sima You Yue didn’t want to talk about this, so she changed the subject, saying, “Didn’t you say that this was a small courtyard? This seems to be around the size of dozens of courtyards, don’t you think?”
“What does this count for? When compared to my sect members, this isn’t worth a thing.” Luo Yi smiled, “Any other residence would be bigger than this. That makes this a small courtyard, no?”
Alright, there was no pain without comparison.
“Young Master, Sixth Elder.” The steward stepped forward and bowed, “Preparations for the
bamboo garden had already begun the moment we received news of your arrival. It has already been cleaned.”
“Is there a courtyard beside the bamboo garden?” Luo Yi asked.
“There is no lone courtyard beside the bamboo garden, there is only an attached courtyard.” The steward replied.
“If there’s no lone courtyard, where will my friend stay?” Luo Yi frowned.
“The closest one is the Youthful Court. It’s twenty minutes away from bamboo garden.” The steward said.
“Youthful Court?”
“Do you like that one?” Luo Yi asked.
“It’s not bad.” Sima You Yue smiled. She never expected that the only difference between it and Youthful Palace was the word “court’.
“Since there is no courtyard near the bamboo garden, I have no choice but to let you stay in Youthful Court.” Luo Yi said, “It’s the closest one, so it will be quicker in the event anything happens.”
Sima You Yue wanted to say that this little bit of distance didn’t really mean anything to cultivators, right? But when she thought about his personality, she was afraid that he would ramble on and on again if she said that.
The steward led Sima You Yue and the others in. Because they received news earlier on before they had returned that Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu were husband and wife, they prepared just one house for them.
Sima You Yue saw that there was only one bed and her eye twitched. It seemed like she had dug a pit for herself!
Wu Lingyu was rather glad as he revealed the first smile in a long while, “This place isn’t bad. Let’s just stay here.”
“If you need anything, please instruct us.” The steward said.
“Then can I trouble you to give me a map of Happiness City?” Sima You Yue asked.
“I can. I will get someone to send it over in a moment.” The steward replied.
“Thank you for the trouble.”
The steward left with a bow.
Wu Lingyu pulled Sima You Yue into the house and said, “That Luo Yi is pretty dumb, but this point is pretty decent.”
Sima You Yue rolled her eyes at him and looked around the room. It was set up in a fresh and unique way.
“It seems like Luo Yi really has a decent background.” She finished appraising the house and thought about how Luo Liu had settled the incident with the soldiers just by showing his token. It was clear how powerful his backing was.
“It probably isn’t small at all. However, let’s not think about this now. It’s getting late, should we rest?” Wu Lingyu asked.
Did cultivators even need sleep? The answer was definitely a no. This rascal just wanted to seize the opportunity.
“I’m not tired yet, you can sleep by yourself!”
After speaking, she wanted to leave. However, Wu Lingyu immediately grabbed her. With a single action, the both of them fell onto the bed.
Sima You Yue turned around and glared at him, “We both have soul bodies. What do you want to do?”
“Nothing, I just want to hug you to sleep.” Wu Lingyu wanted to plant one on her, but they were soul bodies and they couldn’t feel anything physically.
Sima You Yue pursed her lips. She was incredibly disdainful, but she still lay obediently on the bed.
“Once we rescue your mother, you will be able to return to your body, right?” Wu Lingyu asked.
“Mm, I should be able to.”
“Once you return to your body, let’s get married.”
“Are you proposing to me?”
“What do you think?”
“No ring and no roses, so no.”
“Then I’ll do it again once we return.”
“I may not promise you the next time.”
“Can you bear to?”
“Is there anything I cannot bear to do?”
“You can’t bear to reject me.”
“No way.”
“Way.”
“…”
In the end, they did not fall asleep because a servant sent over the map of Happiness City a short while later. Wu Lingyu went out to get the map and the cold aura emanating from him almost made the servant toss the map at him and run away in fright.
Sima You Yue watched the scene unfold at the door and couldn’t help but laugh.
This rascal, there was no need to look so resentful. It would cause others to misunderstand, okay!
Wu Lingyu handed her the map and the both of them studied it for the night. On the morning of the second day, Luo Yi came over to look for them.
“You Yue, let’s go.”
“Where are we going?”
“We’re going to meet that Nan Yu Zhi. We agreed before! You wouldn’t have forgotten it after just one night, right?”
“Of course not. I just didn’t think that you would want to head over there so quickly.”
She just didn’t think that she would meet her prey so soon.
