Chapter 2054: Unveil

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

In the dark room, Leng Feng and the others were lying on the large bed sleeping soundly.

Sima You Yue had prescribed something in their medicine pills that would calm their nerves and induce sleep, so that they would recover better.

Because of the efficacy of the medicine, Leng Feng and the others were unable to defend themselves against danger. If someone had come inside at this moment, it would be very easy to do something to them.

In order to protect their safety, she had set up a spirit barrier outside the courtyard where they were staying. If someone were to destroy the spirit barrier, she would know and she could rush back to save them.

When she put up the spirit barrier, she had spoken to the innkeeper as it would affect his business temporarily after all. She hoped that he would be able to help look out for them.

Now that someone had sneaked into their house, that person had found the position of Leng Feng and the others in the dark night and took out a dagger. He was just about to slash the throat of the person on the bed, but before he was able to move, the dark room lit up.

“So it’s really you.” Sima You Yue was not surprised when she saw the person standing beside the bed.

“You knew that I was here.” Lan Yue looked at Sima You Yue, and Wu Lingyu and Fu Xi who were next to her.

There was only one explanation to explain why someone who should have already left has appeared here, it was their plan all along.

“Yes, I’ve known for a long time.” Sima You Yue admitted, “Not only did you come here, but you also lived in the courtyard next door.”

“So you deliberately lured me out.” Lan Yue said.

“That’s right. If I didn’t lure you out, you wouldn’t have been willing to come out.” Sima You Yue said, “You want me to fight with Xi Er Mo but you didn’t expect that I would be able to rescue them so easily. I knew that you wouldn’t let me get what I want so easily. If you can’t kill me, you will kill the people I have rescued, so that I would have done everything for nought. It was just a guess, but your actions have confirmed my thoughts.”

“Haha, this was not my idea, I am just helping someone else.” Lan Yue said.

“Who is Lan He to you, that you would take risks like that?” Sima You Yue chuckled, “Is he not afraid that you would lose the life that he fought so hard for you?”

“You look down on my strength?” He didn’t know why, but he had inexplicable emotions that ran through his heart, like anger and loss, when he was belittled by her. Those feelings made him uncomfortable.

“I’m not belittling you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble just to lure you out.” Sima You Yue said, “To be exact, I made sure I was well prepared before meeting you.”

As soon as she had finished speaking, a group of men in black appeared in the house.

Lan Yue’s face sank when he saw those people. He clearly hadn’t seen them earlier, but from the looks of things, they were probably in the house right from the beginning.

“Don’t be alarmed, it’s just a small array.” Fu Xi wrapped his arms across his chest.

Lan Yue felt a little surprised, even arrays had fluctuations, yet he didn’t sense it! How powerful was the person who had set up the array?!

Although he was surprised, he analyzed his situation quickly. With these people around, it was even more impossible for him to attack Leng Feng and the others. This time he could only retreat without success.

“You did surprise me, but you also forgot one thing. This is not your territory.” He took out something and crushed it, then his whole body became illusive. At the moment he disappeared, he mouthed the words to her: “We will meet again.”

Upon seeing him disappear, Fu Xi asked: “You Yue, shall we chase?”

“No need, we don’t know his location at all.” Sima You Yue shook her head, “Go and see if the rest of them are still at the inn.”

Lan Yue was right, this was not her territory, she wasn’t able to control all the situations. Although they had set up spirit barriers in here, they were still unable to stop them from leaving. It would be futile to chase after them now.
