“Xi’er——- Xi’er——-, Eh, you are eating lunch?” Gongzi Yuan ran inside and noticed the food on the table. He asked, “Is this your cooking?”

“No.” Sima You Yue looked at him. “This is my boudoir, don’t come in carelessly?”

“What’s the matter? I always did that before.” Gongzi Yuan originally wanted to eat some food. When he heard that it was not made by her, he immediately lost his appetite. He pulled a chair and sat across Sima You Yue.

Sima You Yue was hungry and did not bother with him. She started eating by herself.

Gongzi Yuan supported his chin and watched her. Sima You Yue was speechless at his staring. She used chopsticks to poke him.

Gongzi Yuan was startled and dodged back to avoid her attack.

“If you stare at me like this again, I will poke your eyes blind.” Sima You Yue glared at him.

It was also that she did not really want to attack him, otherwise this guy wouldn’t be able to escape.

Gongzi Yuan blushed and defended, “Wasn’t it always like that.”

“Humph, come on. What are you here today for?”

“Aren’t these two days the Youth Exchange? I saw that you didn’t show up in the morning, so I came to ask if you want to go in the afternoon?” Gongzi Yuan said.

“What is there to see?” Sima You Yue said. “Isn’t it just some youngsters competing. It’s not exciting.”

“This time is different.” Gongzi Yuan said. “This time the applicants are all geniuses. It is something to look forward to.”

“Applicants? Isn’t it all arranged by various clans?”

“It used to be. This time is different. Those who come from other places can also participate.” Gongzi Yuan explained. “You know, those who come to fight, so they’ll be cruel. So the competition is something to watch.”

“Why is it different this time?” Sima You Yue asked.

“For the city competition!” Gongzi Yuan exclaimed. “Don’t you know?”

Sima You Yue shook her head. She never cared about this before. Of course, she didn’t know.

“Oh, you probably forgot.” Gongzi Yuan said. “Didn’t I tell you before that your father is a duke?”

“You mean it is the competition between dukes?” Sima You Yue guessed.

“Right.” Gongzi Yuan said. “All dukes are under their kingdom. Ranking between dukes will affect their status in their kingdom. Therefore, the city competition is very important.”

“Then how is my father’s strength? He left the duke mansion for so long. Will it affect him?”

“Your duke is considered to be in the middle of the kingdom, neither high or low. But your mother’s background is relatively strong, so you have and your father had good backing. It is said that your mother is siblings with the prince.”

Siblings? Wouldn’t the prince be her mother’s cousin?”

She didn’t know what kind of person this uncle was. Could she inquire news about her mother from him?

She was only excited for a while before having to push the idea down. She didn’t have any strength right now. How was she going to deal with trouble? She didn’t know who her mother provoked and who to trust in the Ghost Realm. Therefore, she dare not come into contact with these people in Ghost Realm.

Mm, when her godfather comes back, she could ask him to keep it a secret.

Gongzi Yuan watched Sima You Yue who was stunned. He stretched a hand and waved in front of her. “What are you thinking? Do you want to go together this afternoon?”

“I…” Sima You Yue wanted to say that she didn’t want to go, but remember she hadn’t help Murong Hui lure out the people who killed Murong Xi. So she changed her mind and nodded. “Wait until I finish eating.”
