Chapter 2153: Disappearance

Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

The lively clan quietened down and looked at Sima You Yue guiltily.

When she saw their reaction, she knew that something must have happened to Mu Si.

“You Yue, we didn’t take good care of your disciple.” Sima Zhi Yuan said, “Mu Si disappeared ten years ago.”

You Yue was in a coma from her injuries and had left behind such a disciple, yet they didn’t protect him. They felt really ashamed.

Ten years! Was that the scene she saw last?

“How did he disappear?” She asked. She hoped that it wasn’t as she had seen.

“He went to visit you and then he disappeared.” Sima He Shun said, “At that time we trusted the spirit barrier, so we didn’t send anyone to guard it. Therefore, no one saw how he disappeared.”

Because of Mu Si’s disappearance, they had sent additional guards outside the secret room.

“We searched for a long time but we couldn’t find any information about his disappearance. We have been tracking his whereabouts all these years but there has been no news. It’s like he has disappeared from this continent.”

Although Sima You Yue had been in a coma for more than a hundred years, the influence that she had left behind hadn’t dissipated. When everyone heard that her disciple had gone missing, they had searched for him immediately.

However, even under those circumstances, there was still no news of Mu Si. It was so weird!

Mu Si was special to Sima You Yue because his father had died in order to save her father. As a result, he was bullied and deceived as a child, and had struggled in life. From the moment they had met, she felt guilt towards him.

Later on, he had followed her and became her only disciple. Since he was the only one, naturally, she doted on him a lot. She had personally guided his practice and taught him alchemy. Their relationship was extraordinary.

When everyone saw that Sima You Yue hadn’t spoken, no one dared to speak again. They had let her down.

After a long time, she said: “I know who did it.”

“You do?” Everyone was surprised. Hadn’t she been in a coma this whole time?

“I regained my divine sense for a while, though I was unable to move my body.” Sima You Yue said, “I released my divine sense and just so happened to see that scene. I thought that was my hallucination. It appears that it really happened.”

“So who took Mu Si?”

“Black-robed men.” Sima You Yue said.

“Black-robed men?” If it had been someone else who had said this, they might not have believed them. However, they believed her.

“Hasn’t the matter of the black-robed men been resolved?” Sima Liu Feng said, “Ever since the Sage Pavilion Master was killed by you, the black-robed men has not appeared again. They all said that the black-robed men were the Sage Pavilion’s doing. Since the Sage Pavilion has fallen, the matter of the black-robed men is finished.”

“That’s not necessarily true.” Sima You Yue said, “At the beginning, we realised that the black-robed men and Sage Pavilion had a connection, but it wasn’t necessarily the Sage Pavilion’s doing. Maybe it was just a partnership between them. Or maybe he belonged to Sage Pavilion and later on was taken over by someone else.”

“They haven’t appeared in a hundred years. Now that they have made an appearance, could they be planning something?”

More than one hundred years ago, the black-robed men had extended their power to many forces in the central regions and inner regions. They had also taken action against many major guilds and turned the whole continent upside down. They had been silent for a hundred years, now they were coming out again?

“I’m not surprised by this. What I’m wondering is why they had taken Mu Si.” Sima You Yue said, “Did Mu Si cause trouble outside?”

“No.” Sima Zhi Yuan said, “He rarely went out, he spent most of his time in the family clan. He would occasionally go out with family members on missions, but he was always with them. After he had disappeared, we spoke to the people he went out with and they said that he never had a conflict with anyone.”

“Could he have been taken because he is Young Miss’ disciple?” someone whispered.

“Probably not. If it has something to do with You Yue they would have taken action a long time ago and not waited one hundred years.” Sima He Shun said, “Therefore, the reason is probably Mu Si himself.”

Sima You Yue thought of something and frowned slightly. Sima Zhi Yuan and the others knew at a glance understood the situation. With a wave of their hands, they sent the clan members away.

At this time, they went to the living quarters at the front and went to the council hall with everyone else.

“You Yue, what did you think of?” Sima Qing asked.

“When I went to the Ghost Realm previously, I heard that Mu Si was not from the Ghost City but was brought in from the outside by his father. There are very few Dark Spirit Masters outside now, so I think that this is related to his identity.” Sima You Yue guessed, “Moreover, I heard him say that he has activated his bloodline and he has cultivated very quickly.”

“If that’s true, then it sounds very likely. But his father is dead so we don’t know his identity.” Sima Zhi Yuan said.

“We can only investigate.” Sima You Yue said.

“Go to Ghost City?”

“It’s useless for us to investigate.” Sima Liu Xuan said, “They are very averse to foreigners there, not to mention the things that Yue’er and I have done there in the past.”

“Father is right, it’s no use if we go. So, I want to contact Si Yue and see if he can help us.”

“Si Yue is considered the little princess of the Ghost City after all and has a good relationship with you. If she came forward to investigate, it would be much better than us sending someone. While you’ve been in a coma the past hundred years, she has been to visit you several times. If she knows that you are awake, she will definitely be very happy.” Huang Ying Ying said.

“She came to see me? She’s still in the Human Realm and hasn’t returned?”

“I don’t know. But it wasn’t just her, there were many other people who came to visit you too. Your Senior Brother and Senior Sister, and your little friends. They will come to visit you every so often.”

When she thought of this, Sima You Yue’s mood brightened up. She really wanted to see them.

“Great Grandfather, do you know where they are now?”

“They are probably in Paramount Valley.” Sima Zhi Yuan said, “Do you want to go and look for them?”

“I should probably go back to Paramount Valley to take a look.” Sima You Yue said.

How was Feng’er doing now, was Li’er still blaming herself? She would be a little worried if she didn’t see them.

“You’ve just woken up, you don’t know how your body is!” Sima Zhi Yuan refused to allow her to leave, “Once they hear the news of your waking up, you won’t need to go looking for them and our family clan’s threshold would be worn out by them.”

“That’s right, you’ve been asleep for so long, you should stay at home.” Huang Ying Ying also disagreed with her going out.

“It’s not that you can’t see your friends. Tell you what, your two hundred birthday is coming up anyway, how about we hold a birthday banquet for you and invite all those people?” Sima Qing asked.

The corners of Sima You Yue’s mouth twitched: “Will it be too high profile? It’s only my two hundredth birthday.”

“This is not just your two hundredth birthday but also to celebrate your new life! Besides, I don’t think that they will think it’s too high profile..” Sima Zhi Yuan said, “Well, the clan will take care of this matter, you just need to take care of your injuries.”
