Chapter 1366 - Helping Father make preparations (1/2)

Sima You Yue noticed everyone’s reaction. It was just a seat by her side, why did they have to react so greatly?

“City Lord, that position was prepared for Young City Lord. To let this young child sit here would not be too suitable, right?” Zhang Hao was the first to ask.

“Don’t we not have a young City Lord right now? Si Qin saved the lives of all our citizens, so what if she takes a seat here?” Wei Ming Die said, “Child, come here.”

Sima You Yue only now understood that everyone thought that Wei Ming Die wanted her to become the Young City Lord!

When she saw Zhang Hao Shuai’s expression turn increasingly ugly, she smiled as she said to Wei Ming Die, “Thank you, Your Highness City Lord. In that case, I, Si Qin, will humbly accept your request.”

After saying this she went to the short desk that they had prepared for her before arrogantly lifting up her chin towards Zhang Hao.

“Si Qin is not someone from ghost city, but is someone that Si Yue brought in from the outside. I got her to sit here merely because I want to express my gratitude and also serve as a reminder to you all that she is your saviour who rescued you all.” Wei Ming Die casually explained, showing that she did not have any intentions to make her young City Lord. Only then did everyone relax.

The City Lord was usually chosen by the entire ghost city. That was why any person here, even anyone from any city could become the young City Lord. If a person suddenly appeared and declared themself as the young City Lord, wouldn’t that snatch the benefit from everyone?

Hearing Wei Ming Die explain it allowed everyone to recollect themselves.

“Initially, when the situation occurred in the forbidden area, I did not have the time to rush back. I have troubled everyone. Now, I raise a toast to everyone.” Wei Ming Die raised her cup and everyone followed suit. They all drank a glass.

This wine was not particularly pleasing to drink, so Sima You Yue merely raised the cup and took a light swig. She spent most of the time chatting with Wei Ming Die.

When those below saw her chatting so happily with Wei Ming Die, they started to make calculations in their hearts. Even Zhang Hao started to change his opinion.

He had initially planned to capture her, torture then kill her. Even if Si Kong and the others demanded for her, it would only increase the problems between the north and the south.

However, right now, she had Wei Ming Die’s attention. She had also openly expressed how she felt about her. If anything were to happen to her right now, he would definitely be caught and punished by Wei Ming Die.

It didn’t matter. In any case, City Lord was going to return to Sunset mountain anyway. It wouldn’t be too late to act at that time. After all, he had things he needed to do now.

Some issues had arisen within the mines of those clans. If the issues couldn’t be resolved…

The banquet didn’t last that long because everyone still had to return to deal with the mines. Wei Ming Die knew about this as well, so she merely called for a small banquet to allow everyone to show their thanks to Sima You Yue before letting everyone return.

After all, the reason for this gathering was not to gather everyone. It was merely to get Sima You Yue to come over and let everyone know that they were not to touch her. Now that her objective had been achieved, she let them return.

“Si Qin, we will move after two days.” Wei Ming Die told Sima You Yue before she left.

When they returned to the Si Clan, Si Yue hurried over the moment she heard the news, “Little Sis, Father said that you promised to go with that old witch?”

“I did!”

“How could you agree? She definitely wants you to go just because she wants you to return stability to sunset mountain and make it easier to kidnap your father. When the time comes and you’ve managed to rescue your father, how could you possibly escape right under her nose?” Si Yue anxiously poured out, “Also, if she knew that you were the daughter of your father, she would definitely kill you!”

“It’s not certain yet who will end up killing whom!” Sima You Yue wasn’t worried.
