Chapter 1703 - Eastern Lai Clan (1/2)
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Sima You Yue didn’t think that the Eastern Lai Clan would actually take out such a big show of sincerity. They knew that if they didn’t provoke her, she wouldn’t do anything to them, so they wanted to show their sincerity clearly.
Or, perhaps, they also knew that if Sima You Yue insisted on going to the island, they would be powerless to stop her.
The town master went to an inconspicuous courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard stood a huge teleportation array. Once Sima You Yue and the other two arrived in the centre, he inserted his spirit energy and activated the array. The three of them quickly disappeared.
“An Lei really found a good place… if Young Miss was also able to have someone like her…”
His later words were drowned by a long sigh.
Sima You Yue arrived at Eastern Lai Island, and the people guarding the teleportation array were initially a little surprised when they saw some people come over. However, when they saw An Lei, they lowered their guard.
“Young Miss You Yue. The Patriarch has invited you.” A man who looked like a steward walked in from outside. Since he had come over at this time, it was obvious that the clan over at this side had received the news of her arrival.
“Please lead the way.” Sima You Yue saw that this steward had a decent attitude, so she smiled courteously.
The Eastern Lai Clan was right in the middle of the Eastern Lai Island. They had built a huge palace, and Sima You Yue followed that person directly to the largest one. She met the Patriarch of the Eastern Lai Clan along with his wife.
They also happened to be Eastern Lai Li’s parents.
“Young Miss You Yue, please take a seat.” Eastern Lai Li’s father waved a hand towards Sima You Yue, indicating to her to take a seat below.
Sima You Yue and Sima Liu Xuan were of a younger generation, so they bowed to them in greeting before taking a seat by the side.
“You must be Sima You Yue.” Eastern Lai Li’s mother had a much colder attitude. To make her meet the one who killed her daughter must be rather uncomfortable for her.
However, she didn’t plan to apologise to them for that because she wasn’t the one in the wrong. If Eastern Lai Li had not tried to kill her, she wouldn’t have killed her either.
She had retaliated, not initiated.
“I wonder what brings Young Miss You Yue to our island?” Patriarch Eastern Lai asked.
“It’s actually pretty simple. An Lei wants to retrieve her mother’s grave. Since she is following me now, it is only natural that her mother’s grave follows her out. That is why I wanted to ask Patriarch Eastern Lai and Madame to make things easy.” Sima You Yue told them the reason why she had come.
The Patriarch’s wife looked over at An Lei. An Lei seemed to be rather terrified of her. Her single glance was enough to cause her to shrink back unconsciously.
“Is that all? Ha ha ha, for a small issue like that, it would have been enough to let An Lei come on her own. There was no need for you to come here with her personally!” Patriarch Eastern Lai laughed loudly.
Sima You Yue secretly rolled her eyes. If she let An Lei come here on her own, she probably would never have been able to leave, right?
“I’ve been rather free at home recently, so I took the chance to walk around. Even though An Lei came under me as a servant girl in name back then, we have become like sisters. I naturally had to come here with her for something like this.” She said with a smile.
