Chapter 1316: Not actually blood related

Sima You Yue was deeply moved as she said to the consciousness, “If you have already met with an unfortunate event, I will definitely take care of Mu Si.”

Mu Lian Jie’s mouth curled up into a light smile. It seemed as if he had heard her.

Mu Si watched Sima You Yue. When he saw her expressions change, he knew that there probably were no problems.

After a moment passed, Sima You Yue came back to her senses and returned the jade letter to him, “There’s no treasure map in here.”

“There isn’t?! Mu Si cried out loudly, “How could there not be. My father very clearly said that this was very important. If he ever went missing, I could use this to find him.”

“There is a bit of consciousness that your father left behind.” Sima You Yue siad, ‘He used a barrier to seal it. He wanted to wait until you were powerful enough to enter.”

Mu Si was rather disappointed. If it was not a treasure map, how would he have anything left to bargain with her?

“There’s no need to be disappointed. I promise to take you to look for your father. However, I cannot guarantee that we will definitely be able to find him. That is because even he does not know what he will encounter when he reaches that place.” Sima You Yue said.

Mu Si heard the meaning behind her words. She was saying that his future was uncertain and his father was possibly not around anymore.

“Since there was no treasure, why did Father tell others that he was going to look for treasure?” Mu Si didn’t understand.

“I’m guessing that, one, he wanted to fool others or two, he wanted to become a form of protection for you.” Sima You Yue said.

Since the fact that her father was here was a taboo that should not be uttered, Mu Lian Jie would be unable to reveal so openly that he had gone to save him. However, he had to go out, so he had to find a reasonable excuse.

Also, if anything happened to him, as long as the treasure didn’t appear yet, Mu Si would be fine. At the very least, people like Yang Zi and other friends like him would protect and nurture him with hidden motives.

However, she could not yet tell Mu Si these things. It would be the best if they were able to locate Mu Lian Jie. If they weren’t able to, she would tell him the truth.

After being harrassed like this, the few of them no longer had any mood to eat. Sima You Yue kept the things away then took out tables, chairs and the like. After tidying up the place, it did seem like people lived here.

There were only two bedrooms in total. After Sima You Yue put Di Wu in Mu Si’s room, she closed her door and pondered about Mu Lian Jie and her father’s situation. However, she didn’t obtain any information and couldn’t think of anything, so she sighed. She decided that she would just use this night to cultivate.

In order to ensure her safety, she casually set up a barrier around her courtyard. Then, among the three of them, those who slept, slept soundly while those who cultivated, cultivated well. The noise in the courtyard finally quieted down in the afternoon.

On the outside of Ghost City was in absolute chaos. The young master of the Zhang clan had been killed in the morning, then Meng Tian Shan’s name jade shattered in the afternoon. The seventh master of the Pang clan had died as well while the young master of the Pang clan had gone missing. Even though they used the mystery art, they could not figure out where he had gone.
