After returning to Eternal Brilliance City, Sima You Yue was taken back to the City Lord Manor by Murong Hui. As for the result of the competition between Gong Zi Yuan and Cao Cheng An, she would know soon.

“You also don’t need to attend the Youth Exchange tomorrow. Take a good rest at home.” Murong Hui said.

“Thank you father.” Sima You Yue smiled.

“Silly child, you don’t need to be polite with your father.” Murong Hui reached out to rub her head, but he paused midair. He withdrew his hand. The atmosphere was a little embarrassing.

“It’s alright to think of me as Murong Xi.” Sima You Yue looked at him. “I know that is the reason you did that today.”

“She was not so narcissistic. She felt that a person who did not know her that long would not take risks for her. It was because she looked like his daughter. Perhaps, he was pitting his affections for his daughter on her or perhaps, it was because he didn’t want to see her injured like his daughter.

Murong Hui was embarrassed to be seen through. He left with a sentence to rest well.

Sima You Yue looked at him from behind. She sighed and then returned to her courtyard. She ordered Ting Shan and Ting Shui to not allow anyone to disturb her and stepped into Spirit Pagoda.

Spirit Pagoda was still the same. She looked at the gray area, and her mood was a little depressed.

“Father, wait for me. I will let you out soon.” She murmured.

She stayed in the Spirit Pagoda for a while before going out. After telling Ting Shan and Ting Shui that she was going to cultivate and not for anyone to disturb her. Then she went into close cultivation.

She had touched the threshold of underworld fiend master. As long as she worked hard for the next few days, she would succeed.

She took out a black bead and washed it carefully several times. Then she swallowed it.

“Ugh———–”

She felt her whole body was refreshed, as if all her pores opened and absorbed spirit power from heaven and earth.

“With this, I can definitely get twice the result with half the effort.” Sima You Yue said. “I don’t know who left this for her. It could not be ancestor because he had been trapped for many years. Who could it be?”

It made her uneasy that someone was treating her so well without any reason.

After that, she took out the jade bed and sat on it directly and cultivated on it.

With the dual effects of the jade bed and the black bead, her speed became much faster. She originally thought it would take ten days to advance, but she advanced on the third day.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes and a look of helplessness flashed in her eyes.

“I already became a soul body. I still can’t avoid this.” She sighed and put the jade bed away before going out.

The City Lord Manor was already a mess at this time. When Ting Shan and Ting Shui saw her come out, they warned, “Miss, don’t come out! It’s dangerous here!”

Sima You Yue saw the two were uncomfortable under the lightning in the air but they still guard outside. She comforted them, “It’s alright. I’ll be all right soon. I’ll go find father.”

Murong Hui put aside the matters in hand. The tribulation cloud appeared above the City Lord Manor. For such a big thing, no matter how important he had to put them aside.

“Master, why did a tribulation cloud appear all the sudden?” The steward was anxious. If this struck down, City Lord Manor would be finished!

“Go check if anything strange happens in the mansion!” Murong Hui ordered.

“Yes.”

“Father, you don’t need to check.” Sima You Yue ran in from outside and grabbed Murong Hui’s hand. “Take me out of the city.”

“Xi’er, you want to go out? It is indeed safer to get out of the city this time. I will let someone take you one.” Murong Hui said.
