Chapter 1603 - A breakthrough in the situation (1/2)
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Sima You Yue’s head started to hurt. Would a person like that be able to take on great things if she helped him get his position back?
“Actually, my situation isn’t that bad…” Tao Yi Xuan said.
“What cards do you have to play?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Two elders have suggested to me before, two are under my grasp because I have some secrets on them and also, Ancestor supports me.
“Since someone supports you, why do you have to leave yourself in this state?” Sima You Yue couldn’t understand it.
“The two elders who have expressed their support are rather important to the clan. However, they have neither the courage nor confidence to go against the others. All they’re thinking is, as long as I’m willing, they will follow me. However, during the time where I don’t have the ability to fight against the three branches, they will not support me openly. The two who I’ve blackmailed just hope that I’ll die.”
“What about that Ancestor of yours?”
“In seclusion. If not because of this, they wouldn’t dare to act against me directly either.” Tao Yi Xuan said, “If I’m dead before Ancestor comes out, they wouldn’t be punished either.”
“Then when is your Ancestor going to emerge?”
“Ancestor said before that he’s not in strict seclusion. As long as I am able to return to look for him, he will come out of seclusion.”
“So I’m thinking that your clansmen will definitely stop you from going to look for your Ancestor.”
“Mm, after I escaped after being poisoned, I often sent men to look for Ancestor. Just as you said, every one of them was surrounded, sealed and killed. Everyone I have sent has died.”
“As expected.” Sima You Yue sighed, “It seems like the breakthrough will be with your Ancestor. As long as he emerges, half your problem will be solved.”
Tao Yi Xuan looked at her and reminded her, “You seem like you’ve forgotten the biggest problem. If I cannot cure my poison, all of this will be futile.”
“As long as the one who poisoned you isn’t dead, you won’t die either. Don’t tell me that you don’t even know who refined it?”
If that were the case, she would really consider finding someone else to help her.
“I know this. It’s the poison master within my clan. His temper is fierce, and isn’t close to any branch. He just stays in the clan all day, so it isn’t easy to meet him.”
Sima You Yue heaved a sigh of relief, “As long as you know who it is. As long as he’s still alive, I will be able to obtain your antidote. Alright, now tell me about the general situation of your Tao clan.”
“…” He had told her earlier, she always ignored it…
After hearing the crux of the problem, she just needed to listen to the rest of the information.
However, the more she listened, the more shocked she was. That was because the information she received on the notes were written immaculately!
Just what kind of identity did Helmsman Tuo have that he had access to such levels of information?!
Could it be…
She suppressed the thoughts in her heart and, based on her guess, she could not help but wonder what objective Helmsman Tuo had. She was afraid that she would figure out some terrifying motive.
She always believed that someone she didn’t know wouldn’t treat her so well for no reason.
When Tao Yi Xuan finished speaking, he saw that Sima You Yue was merely nodding so he asked, “Do you not have any more questions?”
“I’ve already asked you all I want to know about. I won’t be able to use most of the information you’re telling me now.” Sima You Yue said, “Take off your clothes.”
“… what?”
“I asked you to take off your clothes.” Sima You Yue repeated again.
Tao Yi Xuan clutched the front of his chest and looked at her warily, “What do you want to do?”
