Chapter 1444 - Just so that you won’t be able to compete (1/2)

Sima Zhi Yuan looked at Sima Liu Xuan.

“On our way back, although there were quite a number of people on the streets, however, if you look closely, you will notice that most of them are in groups.” Sima Liu Xuan said, “Moreover, there isn’t the usual hustle and bustle on the street of excitement due to the upcoming convention, but a more subtle depressed atmosphere instead. Everyone is behaving cautiously… So, Patriarch, what happened?”

Moreover, Sima Zhi Yuan had actually brought people to pick them up, not so much as picking them up, it was more like protecting them.

Sima Zhi Yuan looked at Sima Liu Xuan, he had always been prudent and wise since he was a child. He was able to discover this abnormality just after stepping out from the Spirit Seeker Guild.

“You guessed it, something happened in Chord City. However, this is not the time to talk about this.” Sima Zhi Yuan looked at Sima You Yue, “Child, we have some injured. Can you help me heal them?”

“Are they seriously injured?” Sima You Yue was a little surprised and asked.

“Yes, the family physicians and alchemists are helpless. Fortunately, you came back this time, otherwise I would have sent someone to find you.” Sima Zhi Yuan said.

He actually wanted to send someone to find her? They were that seriously injured?

“Let’s go see them first then.” Sima You Yue said.

“Good.”

When Sima You Yue saw the patients, she realized why the Sima Family was so anxious, because all the patients that were lying in bed unconscious were all women.

In addition to the two whom she recognised, Sima Yi Yun and Sima Qi Qi, there were more than a dozen women that lay there.

“They were all supposed to participate in this competition.” Sima Zhi Yuan explained.

No wonder…

Sima You Yue had an inkling and said, “I will check them first.”

“Go on now.” Sima Zhi Yuan urged.

Sima You Yue checked them all, everyone’s condition was not very serious, but it was very troublesome.

“You Yue, how is it?” Huang Ying Ying asked with some worry when she saw Sima You Yue frown.

It was the first time Huang Ying Ying saw her so worried apart from her Father, and she guessed that there should be someone she cared about among these unconscious ladies.

“Grandmother, their lives are not in danger,” Sima You Yue said.

“That’s good.” Huang Ying Ying patted her chest in relief.

“When will they wake up? Can they participate in the competition?” Sima Tu asked.

His voice was very anxious, he seemed to be very concerned about whether they could participate in the competition but not at all about their wellbeing.

“They are definitely able to regain consciousness but I’m afraid that they can’t participate in the competition.” Sima You Yue said.

“Why?”

“Why are they unconscious?” Sima Zhi Yuan asked.

“They have been poisoned.” Sima You Yue said, “Although they can regain consciousness, it will take a month to completely remove the poison.”

The Chord City Competition started in less than half a month’s time and it will take a month to recover, so they would definitely not be able to participate in the competition.

“Poisoned? How could it be possible!” A person that stood behind Sima Tu shouted out incredulously and his tone was filled with disbelief.

“How can it be impossible?” Sima You Yue glanced at the man with the handlebar moustache [1].

People who had a bad attitude towards her would face her similar attitude.

“If they had been poisoned, how could I not see it! You, a mere lass, how can you tell!” He cried out with indignation.
