Sima You Yue went to Xi Er Mo’s Manor alone. By the time she had arrived, Xiao Ling had already left. When the guard saw her, he took her inside immediately.

This time, it was in the West Garden, in the pavilion again. The guard took her under the rockery and Sima You Yue walked up by herself. When she saw the tea tray on the stone table, she walked over very consciously and began to prepare tea.

One person brewed tea while the other watched, neither of them spoke. Although there was silence, it didn’t feel awkward.

It wasn’t until she had finished preparing the tea and brought it to Xi Er Mo and he tasted the tea, then he put the teacup down and asked her: “You’re so calm, aren’t you curious as to why I’ve asked you here?”

“You’ve not asked me here to make tea for you, so after I have made the tea, you will naturally tell me. Why do I need to be in a hurry to know?”

Sima You Yue also made a cup of tea for herself. The two of them held their teacups and sat leisurely in the pavilion sipping their tea slowly. No one was in a hurry.

“It’s not good to not have any sense of curiosity at your age.” Xi Er Mo said.

“Actually, it’s not that I’m not curious, it’s just that I feel that even if I ask, you might not tell me.” Sima You Yue said.

“If you don’t ask, how do you know I won’t tell?”

“Do you know my Mother?” Sima You Yue asked, she noticed that his expression had changed, and she said: “You told me to ask.”

“Why do you think so?”

“It’s just a feeling.” Sima You Yue said, “Everytime you look at me, it’s like you’re looking at me and it’s also like you’re looking at someone else through me. Sometimes your eyes are very focused, sometimes very erratic. This isn’t the first time I have seen it.”

Back at Yi Lin Continent, Master Feng also looked at her in the same way. At that time, she had felt bad for him, but now that she has seen this look again, she understood it even better.

Xi Er Mo was silent, his emotionless expression was a little scary. Even Xiao Ling didn’t dare to speak so freely. Therefore, Sima You Yue who didn’t know him well was forced to be silent.

She didn’t know if he was angry, nor did she know what he looked like when he was angry. Therefore, she didn’t know what she should say, nor did she dare to say anything.

After a while, he said softly, “So there are still people like me.”

He was answering her question indirectly.

Sima You Yue knew in her heart that her guess was right. All these things did happen because of her Mother. He released Leng Feng and the others not because she was Xiao Ling’s Master, it was because they were her Mother’s guards.

No wonder he was so easygoing, everything had a reason.

However, it was precisely also because of this that she didn’t know how to talk to him.

She sighed in her heart, it seemed that her Mother had a lot of luck in love in the past, she wondered how her father had managed to capture her heart back then.

“How is your Mother now?” Xi Er Mo asked.

“You called me here to ask me this? Haven’t you heard about what happened to my Mother?” Sima You Yue looked at him and realised that he truly didn’t know, and she said in surprise: “My Mother’s affairs was the biggest news in the whole of the Ghost Realm, how could you not know?”

“Did something happen to her?”

Sima You Yue wanted to say, don’t you like my Mother? Don’t you think of my Mother when you look at me? How could you not have known when such a big thing had happened to my Mother?

Maybe her expression was too obvious and Xi Er Mo wanted very much to know about Yu Ke Luo’s affairs, so he explained very uncomfortably: “Back then when I told her, she rejected me outright. I was very angry at the time, so I stopped caring about her affairs and I forbade my subordinates to tell me any news about her.”

“I see.” Sima You Yue said, “My Mother has been suppressed in the Abyss of Hell, it has already been one or two hundred years.”

One of two hundred years was a long time to her, but not for someone with his power. This was not considered long, it was more like the time taken in seclusion or for an experience. However, he hadn’t expected the next time he heard about her news would be about her being suppressed.

“I didn’t know…” He said blankly.
