Chapter 2203: Exchange For Mu Si

Translator: Misty Cloud TranslationsEditor: Misty Cloud Translations

‘Mu Si was here, and it had happened faster than she had expected, she had been looking forward to it.

Zhao Rui Xiang had sent people to keep an eye on them right from the start, that’s why he knew immediately when they entered the city. However, he hadn’t expected them to have come so quickly. He had only just handed the thing over to Sima You Yue and they had arrived.

Fortunately, fortunately he was just in time.

Sima You Yue didn’t run to look for Mu Si at once. With the Ancient Sacred Fire Order in her hand, all she had to do was wait.

She still had to get more information from Si Yue about the Sacred Fire Order.

That night, Sima You Yue finally saw Mu Si for the first time since she had woken up.

Sure enough, Mu Si looked similar to that image in the pictographic stone. He had lost a lot of weight, his cheeks were sunken and his sunken eye sockets were lifeless.

Sima You Yue’s heart ached. What had he gone through to turn him into this?

The last person Mu Si had expected to see was her. When he saw her, his stagnant eyes wavered. His mouth opened but his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat. He tried for a long time but he was unable to call out to his Master.

It was Sima You Yue who spoke first. She looked at Mu Si apologetically and said: “I’m sorry, Master is late.”

Mu Si’s eyes were slightly moist, he shook his head, he didn’t blame her.

Two years ago when the news of her waking up had spread all over the continent, he had also heard of the news at the remote place he was in. When he knew that she had finally woken up, his heart that had been dangling for the past hundred years finally fell to the ground. However, his heart only

jumped for a moment before it fell silent.

How could he face her now? He even felt ashamed standing in front of her.

“Sima You Yue, your speed is very fast!” A man said in a hoarse voice. His voice was hoarse, as if his throat had been burnt by fire.

“Since you know who I am, then you should also know why I’m here.” Sima You Yue’s eyes moved away from Mu Si and she stared at that man.

“Hand it over and we can consider ignoring your participation in this matter. But Mu Si’s father is the Sect’s traitor, he must go back with us to atone for his father’s sin:

“I don’t care whose son Mu Si is, or what relationship he has with you. He is my disciple now so you must leave him behind!” Sima You Yue’s attitude was firm, there was no room for negotiation with her in this matter.

“Don’t even think about it!! Don’t refuse a toast for a forfeit!”

“Tl send that sentence back to you!”

“How arrogant! No one has dared to say such things to us! Do you think just because you have a bit of strength you can pit against us?” The Dark Dragon Guard smiled contemptuously, “Some people really think so highly of themselves and think they’re invincible in the world.”

“[ don’t think I am invincible in the world, but I can definitely deal with you today.” Sima You Yue said, “As for whether I will offend the Dark Dragon Guard, or whether they will be strong enough to hunt me down until I have no bones left, that’s not something I am considering now.”

“You’re not considering, then what about Mu Si?” The man who spoke looked at Mu Si, the threat was obvious.

Normally, they wouldn’t have paid any attention to people like her in the world, they would have just killed her. But after so many years travelling through the continent and having heard so many things about her, they decided that they wouldn’t fight directly with her. It would be troublesome to mess

with the people supporting her.

The main purpose of them coming out this time was to retrieve the Ancient Sacred Fire Order. The less trouble there was, the better it was.

They saw Sima You Yue’s determination and they didn’t want to fight with her head on. Hence, they targeted Mu Si. They knew the importance of Sima You Yue to Mu Si and he wouldn’t involve her in it.

Mu Si looked at Sima You Yue and wanted to speak, but Sima You Yue glared back at him: “I don’t want to tell you not to acknowledge me as your Master if you dare to do something stupid like that, but you know my temper.”

Mu Si swallowed his words.

He knew that she wouldn’t give up no matter what. Even if he had told her to leave it alone and he volunteered to go back with them, she wouldn’t give up. However, it was precisely because of this that he felt even more unhappy.

Sima You Yue saw that he had settled down and she looked back at the Dark Dragon Guard and said: “Tl say it for the last time, I can give you the thing, but you have to leave him behind and you’ll never disturb our lives again. If you can do that, you can take your thing and leave. If you can’t do that, then

you shall leave your lives behind today and you won’t get your thing.”

The Dark Dragon Guard hesitated and wondered whether or not to kill her now.

“If I were you, I’d take the thing and leave.” Zhao Rui Cheng appeared on the roof beside them. He looked at the Dark Dragon Guard and said: “Take the thing and leave while you still have your life. If you don’t agree, you will die, and so will your family.”

The Dark Dragon Guard recognised Zhao Rui Cheng but didn’t know his identity. He obviously listened to his words as he hesitated for a while before he relented: “Fine, give me the thing and you can have him back.”

Sima You Yue took out the box, and at a glance, they were able to confirm the authenticity of the item. Sima You Yue threw the box over and the man caught it. After he opened it and took a look, he waved his hand and left with his men leaving Mu Si behind.

Mu Si stood there, his figure looking extraordinarily lonely in the empty street. Sima You Yue walked over. She reached out and touched his head. Her eyes filled with pain: “Mu Si.”

Only then did Mu Si utter his first words: “Master…”

His empty eyes finally had focus, a tear fell from the corner of his eye. He looked like an aggrieved lost child who was finally seeing his relatives.

When Sima You Yue saw him like this, she was unable to speak the words in her heart, and in the end, her words turned into an apology.

Sorry for taking you out of Ghost City.

Sorry for taking you out but not protecting you.

Sorry for taking so long to find you.

Sorry for making you go through so much and suffering so much.

Mu Si shook his head with a smile on the corner of his mouth: “Master, it’s alright. I’m fine.”

Anyone could see whether he was fine or not at a glance.

Sima You Yue’s heart was broken but she didn’t expose him, she just nodded and said: “T’ll examine you properly when we go back.”

Mu Si paused for a moment, then he replied: “Alright.”

Sima You Yue’s heart ached terribly.

Upon seeing her distress, Si Yue came over and said: “You Yue, you gave him a fake one right?”

“Real.”

“What? You really gave them the real one? That’s the Ancient Sacred Fire Order! You just handed it over like that?” Si Yue shouted and broke the uncomfortable silence.

Sima You Yue tucked back the hair by her ear: “Well, I’ve given it to them now. But they definitely won’t use it, it’s just a useless token in their hands..”
