People came looking for Sima You Yue, they were pushed away with the excuse that her body had yet to recover fully.

She didn't bother to entertain them because she didn't even know where all these forces came from.

Although Sima Zhi Yuan felt that it would be nice to be on good terms with all these forces, he didn't say anything about it since his Great Granddaughter didn't like it.

A few days later, Ximen Feng brought Bi Sheng and the rest back.

"Feng'er, where did you guys go?" Sima You Yue asked as she saw Ximen Feng and the rest walking into the courtyard.

"We went to Fair Eastern City and counted the loss of inventory there." Ximen Feng continued, "I thought it would only take a few days, so I didn't tell you since you're busy."

"How was it?" Sima You Yue asked.

"Every occupation loses a little, but it's not too serious. The worst is the spirit cloth's store, it was eroded by the Ghost aura that all of it can't be used anymore."

"What about the shop assistant?"

"Ten of our shop assistants died, we've already compensated their families. Others were being controlled, they suffered mentally so they can't work temporarily, I've sent someone to send them back to Heartbreak Valley. In regard to Fair Eastern city's business, I asked them to close temporarily for a few days to stock up the resources and wait for Valley to send someone and start again."

"Mm, it's nothing much anyway. We can start again after settling everything." Sima You Yue continued, "What about Liu Liang Cai, Bi Sheng and the rest?"

"I asked them to take a rest. They have been busy these few days." Ximen Feng responded.

"Ask them to come over to discuss some matters after they're done resting." Sima You Yue said.

"Are we going to fight with Yin Yang Palace and Zong Zheng Clan?" Ximen Feng asked.

"What do you think?" Sima You Yue asked in reply.

Ximen Feng brushed her hair behind her ears and said, "The Valley is long prepared, but let us handle it, you're injured, you don't have to worry about all this."

Sima You Yue could feel the love and fear in his speech, she smiled and said, "My injuries have recovered, you know it."

"Although I know your injuries have recovered, when I close my eyes, all I see is the image of you being burnt by the lightning." Ximen Feng's voice trembled.

Sima You Yue saw the fear in his eyes and knew that this traumatised him badly and she realised that she was lost in her emotions these few days.

She held his hands, stared into his eyes and said, "Don't worry, since I'm able to live again, I won't let myself die so easily."

"If you didn't have Wu Lingyu's help that day, can you even persevere till the end?"

He felt a chill just by thinking about that day.

"Of course I can. Just that it would be worse." Sima You Yue continued, "I'm close to Cloud Spirit, it won't strike me to death."

"Regardless, you better rest, let me handle Valley's matter." Ximen Feng continued, "What you have to do now is to ignore everything else and take a good rest. I'll notify you at once if there's anything."

Sima You Yue saw how persistent he was, she shrugged her shoulders and said, "Alright. If the things here are settled then we'll go back to Heartbreak Valley."

"How do you intend to handle this?" Ximen Feng took a glance at Sima Zhi Yuan's room.

"To be honest, I don't know." Sima You Yue continued, "I don't know what Sima Clan are like, so I can't make a decision now. I think we'll talk about it after I find Father."

"I can see that the Sima clan are very… persistent." Ximen Feng hesitated, changing shameless to persistent.

"I feel that Heartbreak Valley's members are very loving, if that clan is cold and indifferent, I will definitely stay with the brothers of the Valley." Sima You Yue didn't care if Sima Zhi Yuan heard it.

Or to say, she wanted to use this chance to express herself.

Sima You Yue who was in the house frowned, this girl actually still bears grievance towards the clan!

It seemed like it would be a tough journey in order to get her home!

Sima You Yue and Ximen Feng were chatting happily, both of them looked over in alertness when they suddenly felt a movement. Wu Lingyu and Sima Zhi Yuan who were in the house also came out.

"Who?"

A dark mist congealed, slowly transforming into a human shadow.

That person kneeled in front of Sima You Yue, "I've seen Young Miss."

"Ghost clan members?" Sima You Yue raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, I'm a member of the guards, Di Wu." That guy said.

"Di Wu? Di Liu's Elder Brother? Sima You Yue asked.

"Young Miss is indeed intelligent. Di Liu said that I can't hide anything from Young Miss even for a minute." That guy laughed.

"I didn't expect that you're the captain of the guards, get up quickly." Sima You Yue lifted his arm.

Di Wu stood up and took out the token plate, the token plate was shining and bright in his hand which showed that he was the owner of the token plate.

Di Zhe once told her that she could only believe people who had this kind of token plate.

"Did Cousin ask you to come? Did anything happen to him in the Ghost Realm?" Sima You Yue questioned.

"Master asked me to come, but it wasn't because something happened to him, it was because the thing Young Miss did and it caused an uproar in the Ghost Realm, so Master asked me to come here to tell Young Miss that you shouldn't go to the Ghost Realm anytime in the near future." Di Wu said.

"Me?"

"Yes. Young Miss killed quite a lot of Ghost Clan members with lightning tribulation, some of them were the brothers and talents of our clan, so there was an uproar in the Ghost Realm, requesting Ghost King to send an army to suppress you." Di Wu said.

"They can't come to Human Realm as and when they want, right?" Sima You Yue said.

"Usually they can't, but if they have help from something, they can." Di Wu said, "It will be extremely dangerous if they send someone who is more powerful to assassinate you. So the Master wants to warn Young Miss, to prevent you from being assassinated by the Ghost clan."

"Go back and tell him that I'll be careful." Sima You Yue said.

"Master didn't ask me to go back." Di Wu said.

"Didn't ask you to go back? He asked you to stay?"

"Yes, the Master asked me to stay here and protect Young Miss."

Everyone in the courtyard was silent, Ximen Feng looked at Di Wu and said, "If they really sent someone to assassinate, how can you fight them by yourself? You will bring us more trouble if you stay."

"As long as I keep my aura, even one of a Paragon rank can't notice me." Di Wu continued, "And I'm more sensitive to Ghost clan's aura, I'll notice right away if any of the Ghost clan gets close."

"Are you born in the year of the dog?" Sima You Yue said.

"Young Miss is really witty, I'm the Hell Hound." Di Wu said proudly.

"....."

Sima You Yue was speechless, she was just teasing, little did she know that he was really a dog!
