The moment Sima You Yue said this, the entire plaza went silent for a few seconds. Everyone was puzzled as to why she would suddenly say this.

“Holy Daughter, what is the meaning of this?” Patriarch Qin, who had been scolded by her, asked her angrily.

​

“Exactly what I said!” Sima You Yue shrugged, “Patriarch Qin, you said it yourself, methods that benefit everyone should be shared. In that case your martial arts are very good, so can’t we learn them? Han Yue has always been rather curious about this!”

“You!”

“Or are you saying, Patriarch Qin, that only the methods of the Sima Clan can be shared while others can’t be? Then you can’t use this as an excuse. If you told anyone, you would throw everyone’s reputation away!” Sima You Yue shot maliciously.

Xuan Qiu He, who was sitting not far away, heard Sima You Yue’s words and raised his head to look over. When he saw that she was not someone he recognised, he lightly furrowed his eyebrows.

Patriarch Qin blushed from her words. He was merely finding an excuse to be a bandit. He didn’t think that Sima You Yue would expose him like that and utterly shame him!

“Pavilion Master Qiu, what is the meaning of this?!” Patriarch Qin was shamed and he stood up in a rage, as if he would immediately leave if he didn’t give him a proper explanation.

“Han Yue, apologise to Patriarch Qin.” Qiu Chi instructed her.

Sima You Yue stood up and bowed to Patriarch Qin, saying, “Patriarch Qin, quell your anger. Although the words I’ve said are difficult to listen to, it is for your sake.”

“Truly for my sake! I just want to hear how this is for my sake?” Patriarch Qin huffed icily.

“Alright, then I will explain it to you, Patriarch Qin, “Sima You Yue siad, “Based on what you wanted to say, you want to force the Sima Clan to bring out their beast taming method right? Don’t rush to deny it, nobody here is a three year old child. We all get it.”

Patriarch Qin wanted to speak but she had already forced him back, so his expression darkened even farther.

“Although the Sima Clan isn’t very powerful, you cannot just look at them based on that. You have to think about the other powers baking them. The little powers like Paramount Valley and Heavenly Sect Academy that interact with them aside, have you thought about the Feng Clan? Do you think that you will be able to defeat the Feng Clan? There’s also the entire Bird Clan. Although they are not that powerful on their own, if you added up the entire Bird Clan, do you think we would be assured a victory? I heard that the Violet Water Dragon Clan has already united the entire Ninth Star Ocean. Can you fight against all the spirit beasts of the oceans?”

As Sima You Yue spoke, with every sentence, it woke up a lot of those who had been blinded by their fervour from the ancient spirit beasts.

“So what you’re saying is that the Sima Clan cannot be touched?” Another person hopped out to say.

“It’s not that we cannot touch them, but that we have to switch our plans. Forcing them openly will not necessarily give us our desired outcome, but we may be able to have an exchange. As long as we give them enough benefits, they probably won’t reject it.” Sima You Yue said, “Choosing between shedding all sense of cordiality or having a mutually beneficial exchange. Which one do you think is better?”

After speaking, she bowed towards everyone and returned to her seat.

Everyone secretly made their calculations. Although they would obtain the Imperial Beast Art, they would lose out at the end. Furthermore, although the latter would cause them to lose some benefits, it would rid them of later headaches.

Sima You Yue watched as their expressions slowly changed and sneered in her heart. They wanted to plot against the Sima Clan? It would depend on whether or not they had the ability to lose that much blood!

“Will the Sima Clansmen agree?” It seemed like some people were influenced.

“As long as the Feng Clan and Bird Clans do not interfere, the Sima Clan should have no choice.” Sima You Yue merely tossed out these two sentences.

Actually, the smarter ones should know that her words could not be trusted. They wanted the Feng Clan and the Bird Clans not to interfere? Was that even possible? That was completely outside the realm of possibilities.
