Chapter 1619 - I’m someone who’s asking for directions (1/2)

Although he was speechless, it was a formula for a poison that has been lost in time. It was late, but he still brought the person over.

Sima You Yue didn’t care how he brought him over. She looked at the person lying on the ground and he really looked… barely passable.

Tao Yi Xuan clenched his fists when he saw him.

“Old Ji, wake him up.” Sima You Yue said.

Old Ji took out a small pill and fed it to him. Then he stood up and the both of them left the room, leaving only Tao Yi Xuan alone with his foster father.

Before they left, Sima You Yue even helped him set up a barrier.

Great Master Ji and herself stood in the courtyard. They couldn’t hear what was happening inside and didn’t know whether he was angry or hurting.

“What do you think, how do you think that kid will deal with his foster father?” Great Master Ji felt like after being with her, he started to become interested in things apart from poison.

“I think that he won’t let him off easily.” Sima You Yue said, “As to how he will deal with him, it will depend on whether or not he still treasures all those years of affection.”

“You really want to help him ascend to the role of Patriarch?” Great Master Ji raised his head and looked at her.

“How much of a difference is there?” Sima You Yue smiled at Great Master JI, “It’s all the same in the end.”

“This old bag of bones is really being toyed around endlessly by you!” Great Master Ji said.

“Old Ji, if you have nowhere else to go, you can always go to Heartbreak Valley. There are many poisonous animals there and you can always research them if you want something to do.” Sima You Yue said as she tossed him a token, “There’s a lot of freedom in there. As long as you make a small oath upon entering that you will not do anything to endanger the valley, that will do.”

“What kind of power is that?” Great Master Ji took the token.

“One that I’m rather familiar with.” Sima You Yue told him a rough idea about what the situation was and told him that, if he really went there, he could look for Ximen Feng to arrange a place for him that he would like.

When Great Master Ji heard about such a wonderful place, his heart was moved. However, he was used to life in the Tao Clan. If it wasn’t that he couldn’t continue to live here, he probably had no plans to move in the meantime.

“Then I’ll keep this for now. I might be able to use it one day.” Great Master Je chuckled as he kept the token away. “So what do you plan to do next? What do you need me to do?”

“You don’t have to do anything else. You have to continue living in the Tao Clan in the future, so you shouldn’t involve yourself in the next steps.”

Great Master Ji was stunned, she was not letting him participate at this point in time?

“The thing we’re going to do this time will definitely create turmoil in the Tao Clan. If you involve yourself too much, you won’t have a good footing in the Tao Clan anymore. You’ve never stuck yourself to a particular side before, so if you don’t involve yourself in this, whoever ascends next time will not say anything to you.” Sima You Yue said.

“…” Great Master Ji’s heart pounded. He opened his mouth but he felt like his throat was rather choked up.

“Alright, let’s not bother about him anymore. Let’s carry on with our own things.” Sima You Yue said as she returned to her own house.

Great Master Ji watched as she walked away, smiling silently. His smile was not like his usual icy one, neither was it gentle. Instead it was a joyful one that seemed to rise from the bottom of his heart.

“Children nowadays…” He sighed, “Forget it, this old man will just go ahead and research that antidote.”

Sima You Yue didn’t know what Tao Yi Xuan said to his father. She only knew that he later asked her for liquid to dissolve a corpse. When he exited, he said, “I made it quick.”

At the very least, he didn’t lose his conscience in his hatred. That was still alright.
