Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

“A place that they shouldn’t go? Where is that?” Nalan Lan asked.

“A place fraught with danger.” Li Mu said, “At that time, I was not yet twenty years old when I came here. On the third day that I was here, I landed up in that place in my bewitched state.”

“Then did anything happen to you that time?” Nalan Lan was shocked.

“Nothing.” Li Mu said, “Because I was still not old enough, my Master always kept an eye on me the moment I came here. Seeing that I had left in the middle of the night, he followed after me and saw that I went to that place, so he quickly used a spirit tool to drag me back. Even speaking about it is weird. At that time, I was not lucid at all. However, after my Master dragged me back, I regained consciousness and did not even know why I went to that place at all.”

“What is so dangerous about that place?” Nalan Lan asked.

“It’s not just dangerous, it’s absolutely devastating.” Li Mu said, “After I regained consciousness, it was like I suddenly felt the aura of death. It was extremely scary. It was like just standing there would kill me. On the way back, I heard my Master say that there was a year in which ten men who were peak Spirit Paragons had gone down, but not a single one returned.”

“Sss-”

Nalan Lan and her servant girl sucked in a breath. Ten peak Spirit Paragons had faced total annihilation. What kind of place was that!

“That’s why I’m saying. No matter who that person is, as long as we get him there, it will have nothing to do with us. We will even be able to take revenge for you.” Li Mu said.

“I…” Nalan Lan hesitated again, as if she still didn’t want to say it.

“Miss, that Sima You Yue has already done this kind of thing to you, what are you still hesitating for!” The servant girl spoke too quickly and accidentally revealed Sima You Yue’s name.

“Sima You Yue? He was the one who violated you?” Li Mu asked.

Nalan Lan glared at the servant girl, as if she was blaming her for speaking too much.

Li Mu saw her glare at the servant girl and said, “Lan, don’t be angry. She did not do it intentionally. However, is he really the one who violated you?”

Nalan Lan nodded, and her tears that she had fought so hard to hold back came flowing down again. She sobbed, “Since you already know, I won’t keep it from you anymore. Do you know that he was from the Dong Chen kingdom?”

“I do.” Lu Mu nodded.

“Actually, I’m from there as well. I’ve know him since we were young, but our relationship had always been bad.” Nalan Lan said.

Li Mu never thought that Nalan Lan came from that land of exile, but it still did not affect the way he felt about her.

“In the Dong Chen kingdom, the Sima clan and the Nalan Lan have always been at odds. He was the one who killed my younger brother, and till now, I still haven’t even seen his corpse.” Nalan Lan cried, “I never thought that I would meet him again in Saint City. It was fine before, but today, he said that I was to look for him alone if I wanted to know what happened to my younger brother.”

“You went to look for him alone?” Li Mu asked.

“Mm.” Nalan Lan nodded, “I wanted too desperately to know what happened to my brother, so I went. I did not expect that he… he would actually do this to me. Sob sob sob, if it was not for my servant girl who was worried about me and secretly followed after me, I’m afraid that I would…”

Nalan Lan could not speak any longer and threw herself on the table while sobbing.

Lu Mu smashed a fist on the table and spat: “That Sima You Yue is too cruel, it’s fine that he disgraced me, but he dares lay a hand on you! I can bear it no longer! I’m going to get rid of him!”

“Don’t.” Lan Lan held on to his hand, saying, “I heard my older brothers say that your people have always provoked him, so he got his sima clan to beat your people up to resemble pig heads upon sight. If you make trouble for him, with his personality, he might take revenge!”

“You said that he got his Sima clansmen to beat my people up into resembling pig heads on sight?” Li Mu grasped the crux of what she said and asked.

“I, I heard my older brothers say it.” Nalan Lan said, “Since this is my problem, and things have reached this state, I… I can only bear it. How could I drag you into this. Big Brother Li, Lan remembers your kind intentions. I also know of your affection for me. But since I have already reached this state, I am no longer good enough for you. You should leave and forget about me.”

“How could I possibly!” Li Mu said, “No matter what state you end up in, you you will always be the same in my heart.?But as for dealing with that Sima You Yue, you’re right. I cannot go about things carelessly. I have to think of a secret plan to get rid of him. Otherwise, I’ll have to hail him as my Boss every time!”

“But…”

Nalan Lan wanted to speak some more but Li Mu interrupted her, “Lan, don’t say any more. I have decided. I’m going to think of a plan to see how I can get rid of him.”

“I…” Lana Lan appeared to be at a loss, but she finally raised her head, saying, “This situation came about because of me, I won’t let you shoulder the burden alone. Since things have reached this state, let’s think of a way together!”

After an hour passed, Li Mu left the Nalan Clan.

After he left, Nalan Lan immediately threw off her sad demeanour and ate the pill that her servant girl gave her.

“I never thought that this Sobbing Pill would be so useful. Miss cried so hard that Young Master Li’s heart was about to break.” The servant girl said.

“The result of this Sobbing Pill really isn’t bad. Eating one allows me to cry whenever I want to cry. It really makes me look weak and vulnerable.” Nalan Lan said, “It’s just that this medicine is a bit bitter.”

The servant girl took something preserved in honey and gave it to Nalan Lan to eat, saying, “This Li Mu is really easy to manipulate. Miss just spoke like this, and he lost his senses. However, is this plan really okay? Will Sima You Yue fall for that bait when the time comes?”

“I heard that his relationship with Jade isn’t bad. When the time comes, as long as Jade is the one to bait it, it should be fine.” Nalan Lan said, “As for whether or not Li Mu offends the Sima Clansmen, it’s not our problem anymore. Let’s go, I’m tired from crying all night. I’m going to rest.”

Li Mu did not return to the Alchemist Guild after leaving the Nalan clan, but he headed back to the Li clan. He headed towards the Li clan’s Array Master’s room.

On the second day, the younger generations only had ten over matches remaining, but it still attracted quite a large crowd.

When half a day had gone by, the matches had concluded. The Sima clan had thirteen out of sixteen people remaining. The other three had bad luck and encountered opponents similar to Huo Zi Yan and could only surrender.

However, the entire continent was surprised at the Sima clan’s outcome. This was something that was never seen before! They were actually not last in place, and the Li clan was the one who was dead last. They had to accept their position as a second ranked power now.

When the judge declared the final result, he said, “We are starting the youth competition. You can compete against those of your same generation and can defend your arena. Those who can defend ten arenas will receive a great prize specially prepared by the guild alliance. Those who win three rounds will also receive a prize. Those who want to participate in the competitions can start to prepare.”

After he had announced this, everyone was curious at who the first competitor would be as well as who would be the first one called up.
