Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. This time, Sima You Yue did not head to Sun Yu Wei’s courtyard, but to Xuan Qiu He’s.
Earlier on when Xuan Qiu He had led her around the clan, he had taken her to his courtyard before. Once she arrived at Xuan Qiu He’s place, there were already many people around the area.
Aside from doctors, there were also those she had never seen before. She guessed that they were probably elders of the clan and people like that.
Inside the guest hall, Sun Yu Wei sat at the head seat and Xuan Qiu He took the seat behind her. The others flanked them on both sides.
The seat beside Sun Yu Wei was empty.
She saw that Sima You Yue had hovered at the empty chair for a moment, so Sun Yu Wei said rather apologetically, “Our Patriarch has gone out for some issues and has yet to return.”
Sima You Yue was taken aback. During her treatment of Xuan Qiu He, his father, who was the head, actually wasn’t around? She saw the smile on Sun Yu Wei’s face and somehow felt like this mother may have intentionally chosen this period of time?
It seemed like her thoughts had been exposed, but Sun Yu Wei’s smile did not falter, “His father is not really in favour of this. He is not around, and my words are law.”
Sima You Yue pursed her lips. Weren’t mothers usually the more protective ones? This mother seemed like she wasn’t hesitant at all. Wasn’t she afraid that she would turn her son into a cripple?
However, this was their own issue. She did not have to bother herself with it. She just had to obtain that divine medicine.
“Aunt, can we begin?”
“When you perform your treatment, we have to be present.” A white-bearded elder said.
Sima You Yue shook her head, “The entire process requires my extreme concentration. I cannot be disturbed in the slightest. This junior cannot agree.”
“It must be done even if it cannot be done. The seal is of utmost importance. If anything goes wrong, will you be able to take responsibility?”
The attitude of the white bearded elder was rather forceful, and his words were very discourteous.
“Not possible.” Sima You Yue did not back down either.
“Child, can you not be a little flexible?” Sun Yu Wei wanted to go in as well, “We promise not to speak, and not to disturb you.”
“Aunt, the proceedings are too sensitive and there is no margin for error. If you worry about your seal, I can promise you that even if the outcome is unsuccessful the seal will not be released.” Sima You Yue said.
“Not possible.” The elder of the Xuan Qiu Clan was obstinate.
“If you do not agree, then this junior cannot act.” Sima You Yue did not back down.
“Are you threatening us?” His icy tone carried traces of anger.
However, Sima You Yue shook her head, “This carries a high amount of risk and I need the highest level of concentration. I even have to use my mind to control it. If I am impacted, I will face severe repercussions. If my mind is injured, my brain will shatter and I will turn into an idiot. I seek the forgiveness of Aunt and of the few elders. This junior cannot shoulder the risk.”
When she heard about the serious repercussions, Sun Yu Wei was hesitant.
“Mother, let us do as You Yue says.” Xuan Qiu He said, “I believe her and I do not want to pass up this opportunity.”
Sun Yu Wei looked at Xuan Qiu He and sighed lightly, feeling like a mother who had to marry off her daughter.
They had initially agreed that they would definitely have to watch by the side. Who would have thought that he would have sold out his clansmen in the blink of an eye.
“Since even you’ve said this, then do as you wish!” Sun Yu Wei gave in.
“Matriarch?!”
The elders wanted to stop this, but Sun Yu Wei waved her hands and interrupted them.
