Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

“We went to the Heartbreak Valley. Even with our valley’s special pills, we cannot enter deep in that valley.” Kong Xiang Yi said.

“Heartbreak Valley is one of the three poisons barrier lands, so the poisonous gas inside is naturally extraordinary.” Third Aunt Du said. “But the ringed silkworms bred in such places are of a higher grade.”

“Really?” Sima You Yue’s eyes brightened. “If we can find a way to go in, maybe we can find ringed silkworms and get chained silkworm’s silk. By that time, all of us will wear spirit clothes and be in good shape.”

“Hehe, You Yue, I want two sets!” Fatty Qu roared first.

“Good for nothing, you’re satisfied with just two sets.” Sima You Yue poked him. “By that time, we will raise the spirit silkworms, and will get as much as we want.”

“In fact, it’s possible. There are quite a few spirit cloth embroideresses.” Third Aunt Du said, “If they can be recruited, it can also become a future industry.”

“Third Aunt understands about this. You used to be in charge of the spirit cloth industry of the Ximen family.” Sima You Yue said. “I don’t know if other embroideresses in the family had also escaped this calamity. Third Aunt, if they are still alive and want to come back. We will protect their safety. If they already have their own lives, we should not disturb them.”

“Okay.” Third Aunt Du replied. “When the family met with catastrophe, I dismissed them all. A lot of them escaped. Before they left, they told me the possible places they might be in the future. Later, we can go find them.”

“The blood feud at the beginning has torn our original happy life apart.” Sima You Yue said, “Whether those people are willing to return or not, don’t force them. Afterall, they are not obliged to face the difficulties behind us.”

“Mm, they really don’t have the obligations.” Third Aunt Du affirmed. “Little Wu, you have heard what we are going to do. There will be many dangers. If you want to leave, master will arrange your later life.”

Little Wu was startled. She grabbed her hand and earnestly begged, “Master, don’t abandon Wu’er. Wu’er will be good and won’t cause trouble.”

“Was it because of them, master did not want her? Thinking of this, she burst into tears.

“Wu’er. It’s not that master did not want you, but the things master needs to do behind will be dangerous. Master does not want you to be in danger. Master hopes that you can be safe and sound.” Third Aunt Du patted her hand in comfort.

Little Wu shook her head constantly and her tears could not stop falling. “Master, Wu’er has lived for twenty years. I have been with master since I was a few years old. Wherever master go, Wu’er will be. Wu’er is not afraid of danger. Master don’t make Wu’er leave. Okay?”

Third Aunt Du was hesitant, and she was reluctant to send Wu’er away. Afterall, she had been with her for so many years. However, she felt that the following things were too dangerous, and after much thought, she decided to send her away.

Little Wu saw that Third Aunt Du was still hesitant, so she turned to Sima You Yue. “You Yue, please help me ask master, don’t drive me away. As long as I can stay, you can let me do whatever. No matter what, I just want to be able to follow master.”

Sima You Yue saw the fear in Little Wu’s eyes. She said to Third Aunt Du, “Third Aunt, since Little Wu doesn’t want to leave, then let her stay. We will protect her.”

“But…”

“Our earlier actions were carried out in secret. You will also arrange a safe place. As long as the news is not disclosed, nothing will happen. When we develop later, it will not be easy for them to hurt Little Wu.” Sima You Yue smiled. “Third Aunt, when Third Uncle died and Ximen family fell apart, your life hadn’t been well. Although you brought her up, she also filled up your life.?If you send her away, you definitely can’t bear it. Third Aunt, you are very important to Little Wu, and Little Wu is very important to you, so let her stay.”

“Mmmm.” Little Wu nodded in tears and looked at Third Aunt Du.

Third Aunt Du hesitated before answering, “Alright, you can follow me. You must always follow me, you must not act alone.”

“Okay, I won’t. I promise.” Little Wu smiled through tears.

Third Aunt Du took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears. “How old are you, child to be crying so much. Many people are watching, be careful of being laughed at.”

Little Wu took the handkerchief and covered her face, a little embarrassed.

“Third Aunt, though Little Wu is your disciple, she will naturally be my younger sister. There are only that many girls in our group. We can’t wait to dote her. How can we laugh at her?” Fatty Qu said with a smile.

“Indeed, in here, only You Yue, Bei Gong, and Little Seven are girls. The others are boys. Now with Little Wu, everyone will naturally treat her as a younger sister.” Sima You Le echoed.

“I also think it’s nice to have a younger sister.” Ximen Feng said.

Elder sister and younger sister were the same.

Everyone actually knew Little Wu’s thought process in the past two days. But they had met many people over the years. Although Little Wu couldn’t see openly for a while, her temperament was not bad, even pure, or she wouldn’t express all her emotions on her face, letting everyone see it.

Such a pure girl, as long as she sees openly, everyone would like her.

When Little Wu heard them say this, she felt what master said was true. They didn’t come to rob master away. Staying with them, they would also be protected by them.

Thinking of her petty thinking, she was a little embarrassed for a while. She shouldn’t have been jealous of them.

When she figured it out and she saw Third Aunt Du smiling at Sima You Yue and them, she did not feel uncomfortable.

Third Aunt Du understood her disciple. From glancing at her eyes, she knew she had seen openly. She finally was relieved.

Although she agreed to let Little Wu stay with her, if she couldn’t see through, she wouldn’t dare to let her stay. If she did not sincerely want to be with everyone, there might be misunderstandings in the future. It would be bad for her and everyone.

So far all good…

Five or six days later, they entered the Dark Forest. Little Roc took them to the zone of the spirit silkworms.

Third Aunt Du thought since she hadn’t recently come to collect silk for a while, there would be more. But as soon as she got to a place she was familiar with, she didn’t find any shadow of spirit silkworm.

“Master, the spirit silkworms disappeared.” Little Wu followed Third Aunt Du here twice. Previously, there were spirit silkworms everywhere. Their spewed silk was placed in the middle of the lakem but now there was not a trace of spirit silkworm seen.

“Were they taken away by those who came before?” Sima You Ran asked.

“There are no signs of destruction here. Probably not. Let me try to contact them first.”

Then, she took out a small whistle and blew it twice.
