Chapter 47: An Amazing Array Master
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
The Spirit Masters Guild comprised of numerous Spirit Masters and they were in charge of managing the affairs of the all the Spirit Masters on the continent. The Spirit Masters were bound by the rules of the guild, however in return, they also gain protection from the guild.
Similarly, all the other professions also have their own guilds. Alchemists had their Alchemists Guild, Armament Masters would have their Armament Masters Guild and Beast Tamer Masters had their Beast Tamer Masters Guild and even the mercenaries had their Mercenaries Guild.
All these guilds worked together and did not work in isolation.
Each guild would be in charge of the different resources and every city's teleportation array would be located at the Spirit Masters Guild.
When Sima You Yue walked into the Spirit Masters Guild, the person inside saw her tattered clothing and immediately felt a deep sense of veneration.
"Is there anything that I can help you with?" The girl at the counter bowed down slightly as she asked.
"I wish to use the teleportation array to return to the capital city." Sima You Yue said as she looked around the guild.
It could be because the area was relatively small so this Spirit Masters Guild and was decorated simply. The counter was old and worn, leaving only one girl inside who had bent her head down to work. It was only when she had seen her walk in that she raised her head to inquire what help she needed.
That girl smiled lightly and said, "Sorry, we don't have a teleportation array that sends you directly to the capital."
"You don't?" Sima You Yue was puzzled. Didn't Wu Lingyu tell her that they had one?
"We used to have one, but it was damaged recently and we haven't had an Array Master to fix it yet." That girl said with a slight flush of embarrassment, "However, we have one that will send you to a city near the capital and from there, you can transfer and use their teleportation array to head on to the capital. Don't worry, this way would not spend too much time or gold coins."
"Okay then, send me to that place first." Sima You Yue said.
"Please fill up this form first, and pay 5 gold coins." The girl handed a piece of paper to her.
Sima You Yue looked at that piece of paper and saw that it was just some fundamental information, with a brush of the hand, it would be done. After that, she took out 5 gold coins from her interspatial ring and placed it on the counter.
The girl put the gold coins into the drawer, and took the piece of paper without even looking at it, as she said, "Please follow me."
Sima You Yue followed her into a hall behind the Spirit Masters Guild and saw the mark of the array in the middle. The wall contained various city names.
"Please stand on the array." She gestured over to the array in the middle.
Sima You Yue stood on it and saw the girl walk over the right side of the wall and press the name of a city.
"This is Chariot City, which is on the right of the capital city. Going to the capital from there should be convenient." The girl explained to Sima You Yue.
Sima You Yue nodded. At this time, the array suddenly gave off a flash of light, similar to the time when she had seen the array in the cave. The inscriptions and runes were filled with light and she disappeared within the array.
The girl saw that all was normal with the array and then lowered her head to look at the form in her hands. She saw the name filled in the box and was shocked.
"Sima You Yue? That waste?"
She raised her head to look towards the array, however, Sima You Yue was already gone.
"There's no way it would have been that waste." The girl shook her head as she said, "That waste cannot cultivate at all, and the person just now had an interspatial ring. He was definitely a Spirit Master. It must be a person who has the same name."
The girl shook her head as she left the hall.
Sima You Yue felt her body being squeezed by the immense pressure and she couldn't help but closed her eyes tightly while she was being teleported. After an unknown period of time, only when she felt the pressure release could she open her eyes. This time, she had already appeared in another place.
"Hmm? This came from the Pu Luo Mountain Range? How come there's only one person? Hey, quickly wake up, don't hog the teleportation array, there are people from other places that will be sent here."
Sima You Yue heard an astonished voice and crawled up from the teleportation array, mustering her energy as she groggily stood aside.
It hadn't been half a minute since she left when the teleportation array flashed with light again. After the flash of light, three people appeared in the hall.
Those three people glanced at the surroundings wordlessly and immediately left.
After they had left, the teleportation array lit up yet again, this time, only two people appeared. In a similar fashion, they glaced at the surroundings and left.
Sima You Yue saw that the others were standing, and it appeared as if she was the only one who was lying down when she arrived at this place.
"Hey, what are you still doing here? Aren't you leaving yet?" A youth in his teens berated her when he saw that she was just staring blankly at the teleportation array.
"I want to use the teleportation array to go to th capital." Sima You Yue said.
"You want to go to the capital?" The youth looked at Sima You Yue twice before saying, "When you go out, turn left into the courtyard. Go there."
Sima You Yue had no idea why he had told her to go to that place but she still followed his instructions obediently and went there.
She currently had the pressing desire to return home. She couldn't be bothered with those people who had bad attitudes.
After she stepped out of the teleportation hall, she saw a large garden outside. It was a picturesque sight as she saw the beautiful landscape filled with a huge variety of rare and exotic flowers, a complete contrast from the Pu Luo Mountain Range's simple Spirit Masters Guild.
She saw a stalk of Foxtail Grass, a plant she had came across a few times in her past world. She went forward and broke off a portion, and placed it in her mouth, following the youth's instructions to head to the courtyard at the side. To her surprise, there was an extremely long queue.
"So many people!" Sima You Yue gasped as she grudgingly went over and stood right at the back of the line, slowly shuffling along with the group of people.
She had initially thought that this place was just for her to fill out the form, but she quickly realized that the the people who went in never came out. She could see that there were occasional flashes with white rays of light.
"It turns out that the teleportation array for entering and leaving is not the same in this place." She touched her chin and muttered, "This teleportation array looks quite fun. In the future, I should go and learn it. If I was able to create my own teleportation array, that it would be so convenient."
"Hahaha-"
When the man in front of her heard what she said, he started to laugh out loud.
The fellow behind her pat her shoulders, saying, "Little brother, being an Array Master is not something that you can become just by thinking about it!"
"Is it very difficult to become an Array Master?"
"Of course, not everyone can become an Array Master, it's as difficult as becoming a Alchemist or a Weaponsmth Master! Actually, it might even be a little harder because there might be an Alchemist out of a thousand Spirit Masters, but it's uncertain as to whether or not there will be an Array Master." That fellow said.
"Really, then isn't become an Array Master really amazing?" Sima You Yue's eyes shone, if the person that she was familiar with in her past life knew this, she would definitely be exceedingly interested.
"Haha, in any case, it's very difficult. Little Brother, if you're that ambitious, then try your best at it! If you manage to succeed, at that time you will be able to get anything your heart desires!" That fellow didn't have any intentions of making fun of Sima You Yue, only encouraging her as he pat her back.
"Hehe, thank you elder brother!" Sima You Yue smiled as she said.
"Not a problem. Try your best, Little brother!" The fellow encouraged, "Oh right, where do you want to go?"
"The capital." Sima You Yue replied.
"This place is not far from there, it's such a waste of gold coins to use a teleportation array to get there. Do you know anyone from the capital?" That man asked.
His random chatter gave Sima You Yue a scare. If she used a teleportation array to go back, she would be sent directly to the Spirit Masters Guild in the capital. The people here may not recognize her, but the people over there would definitely recognize her! Wouldn't the fact that she had become a Spirit Master become exposed?!
"Ah, I just remembered that I have something to do. I'll head off first! Goodbye elder brother." After thinking it through, she left the queue and exited the Spirit Masters Guild.
As she walked down the street, she grabbed a man to ask him the way to the capital. That man not only told her how, but also told her that she could take a Beast Carriage to head there for only 15 gold coins.
As such, Sima You Yue went to look for a place that rented Beast Carriage and rented one, letting the other party send her to the capital.
It was a journey that did not even take a day. It was clear that this city was really very close to the capital. As the clouds started to turn pink and a beautiful orange glow covered the skies, she had finally reached her destination. It was almost night but she had made it back on time.
Outside the city, she paid the reward and let the other party return. She looked at the majestic city wall and smiled lightly.
Grandfather, brothers and those who had schemed to hurt me, I, Sima You Yue, have returned!
Chapter 48: Returning to the Capital
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
When Sima You Yue returned to the General's residence, the guard that saw the familiar silhouette immediately cried out in surprise.
"Fifth Young Master, you've returned!"
Sima You Yue indifferently nodded at them, saying, "Yes, I've returned. Where's Grandfather?"
"The General has just returned." The guard replied, "I will notify them immediately."
After saying this, that person sprinted inside, shouting while running, " Fifth Young Master has returned, Fifth Young Master has returned!"
Sima You Yue watched that guy running and yelling around in such an amusing matter and shook her head, as she had on light smile and headed inside.
"You Yue has returned? Where?"
"Fifth Brother has returned? That guy has finally come back!"
"Fifth Young Master has finally returned."
"..."
When Sima You Yue had just passed through the front courtyard, she was blocked by a pair of broad shoulders, and she was immediately pulled into a warm embrace.
"Grandfather." Smelling that familiar scent, Sima You Yue snuggled deeply into that embrace.
"You've finally decided to return!" Sima Lie hugged Sima You Yue tightly, his voice was choked with emotion.
"Grandfather, I'm well and fine!" Sima You Yue patted Sima Lie's back and comforted him.
"Fifth Brother, you've finally returned. If you had dragged it on any longer, the few of us were planning to go and look for you!" Sima You Ran and the rest of them had also ran into the courtyard and saw Sima You Yue, who had peeked out from Sima Lie's embrace.
"Grandfather is really biased, he has never hugged us like this before!" Sima You Le whined.
"If you went missing for a few months, I would also hug the few of you!" Sima Lie roared at Sima You Le.
"Fifth Brother, where have you been these past few months. You really worried us to death!" Sima You Qi walked over. Seeing that Sima You Yue was safe and sound, his anxious heart gradually calmed down.
"That's right, why did you go to the fourth teleportation array and was even sent to some unknown location?" Sima You Ming asked.
"This is a long story, let's head inside first before talking." Sima You Yue said.
"Okay!"
They walked into the hall and Sima You yue began to tell of her experiences after she sat down.
"Bang-" After listening to the beginning of Sima You Yue's story, Sima Lie slapped the table, raging, "There's actually a person who dares to harm you!"
"I was just asking myself why you would enter that fourth teleportation array, so it was actually someone that pushed you in!" Sima You Le said, "We will go to the Academy tomorrow and drag that person out to let him know that there are some people in this world that you cannot offend!"
"Cough-…Cool down a bit… you all should not get so worked up." Sima You Yue saw that each and every single one of them looked like they were preparing for battle and helplessly rolled her eyes. "Do you all want to continue listening to my story?"
"Fifth Brother, continue speaking. Where did you get sent to?"
"Pu Luo Mountain Range." Sima You Yue answered.
"What?!"
"You had actually been sent to Pu Luo Mountain Range?! Then how come you're not injured or anything?"
"You all should relax, I'm very healthy." Sima You Yue said with a smile.
In order to prove that she was fine, she even stood up and moved a bit.
"Pu Luo Mountain Range has so many Spirit Beasts, most Spirit Masters won't dare to venture in on their own. You didn't encounter any dangerous situation right?" Sima You Yue asked with worry.
"Fifth Brother, if you have any injuries, you definitely have to tell us!"Sima You Ran looked at Sima You Yue and was worried that she was hiding something from them.
Even they did not dare to lightly enter Pu Suo Mountain Range, to say nothing of Sima You Yue, who had just started cultivating as a Spirit Master.
"I'm really okay." Sima You Yue emphasised once again. Seeing how they didn't believe her, she could only call Ya Guang out for them.
When Ya Guang came out, his Saint ranked power pressure filled the entire hall.
"Master." Ya Guang shrunk himself and came to Sima You Yue's side.
"This is the beast that I made a contract with when I was at Pu Luo Mountain Range. It's a Saint ranked Beast. Whenever I encountered any dangerous situation, it came to save me." In the face of their disbelief, Sima You Yue could only give all the credit to Ya Guang.
Ya Guang looked at Sima You Yue. Every single time, she made it stay on the sidelines. It felt like he hadn't even done anything. Faced with Sima You Yue's threatening gaze, it could only lower its head silently.
"This Saint ranked Beast has not been tamed, how did you form a contract with it?" Sima Lie looked at Ya Guang, his eyes filled with puzzlement mixed with amazement.
"When I first met it, it just happened to be injured by another Spirit Beast. It had escaped and collapsed by the river. After that, I rescued it and it took the initiative to make me its Master." Sima You Yue lied with a steady heart, without a hint of blush or remorse.
What do you mean she saved Ya Guang, it was clear that the one she saved was Wu Lingyu!
However, this is the manner in which she told the story and so this is what they heard. After all, explaining the story in this way still sounded very reasonable.
"That's right, I also saved a person on Pu Luo Mountain Range. After that, he gave me two pills as thanks. At that time, I really wanted to give it to grandfather!" Sima You Yue took out two jade bottles and these bottles contained the rank advancement pills.
She put the pills on Sima Lie's desk and then returned back to her place.
"What kind of pills are these?" When Sima You Le saw the pills in the jade bottle, he was excited for a moment, so he asked curiously.
"These pills will help him to advance in rank." Sima You Yue said, "Grandfather has been stuck at this bottleneck for such a long time, with these pills, Grandfather should be able to increase in rank."
"Really?!" The other four brothers became extremely excited when they heard this.
"Grandfather, are these really Rank Advancement Pills?" Sima You Ran asked.
Sima Lie nodded his head, his eyes were moist.
These Rank Advancement pills have been lost for a long time. He didn't know kind of person Sima You Yue had saved on the mountain that he would actually possess these kinds of pills!
"This is too fantastic!" Sima You Ran brandished his fan, "If Grandfather manages to increase in rank, we will no longer have to worry about the Nalan Clan coming over to look for trouble!"
"What's up with the Nalan clan?" Sima You Yue asked, "Did something happen these four months when I wasn't around?"
"Actually it's not really a situation." Sima You Ran explained, "It's just that the Ancestor of the Nalan family has recently advanced in rank to become a Spirit Paragon, the same rank as Grandfather."
"This Nalan family has always come to compete with us, but because their strength was not on par with Grandfather's so they still held back a bit. However, since their ancestor had risen in rank, they became extremely unbridled; sooner or later, their butts were going to start sticking up in the air!"
"Right now, as long as Grandfather can rise in rank, he will be able to pressure them one again. We'll see whether or not they will be able to remain as arrogant as before!" Sima You Le said.
"Nalan clan..." Sima You Yue stretched out her hand and touched her chin, eyes shining with a strange light.
"Since we have the pill, Grandfather should quickly go rise in rank." Sima You Qi said.
"That's true, tomorrow, I will head to the imperial palace to look for His Majesty to request for an absence of leave. After that, I will quickly come home and go into closed door cultivation." Sima Lie said. "In this period of time, you all must be careful of any movement from the Nalan clan."
"We will, Grandfather please go into your closed door cultivation in peace." Sima You Ran said.
"Fifth brother, now that you've returned, do you still want to go back to the academy?" Sima You Le asked.
"That Master of yours, Feng Zhi Xing, has constantly been worrying about you. Every few days, he will come over to ask about your situation."
"Master Feng?" Sima You Yue never thought that he would actually care so much about her. She thought about it and said, "I will wait for Grandfather to finished his closed door cultivation before returning back to the Academy. I still have some things that I want to do at home."
"Then tell me who is the person who hurt you. I will go and take revenge for you on your behalf!" Sima You Le declared.
"No need. If I want to feel any joy, it definitely has to be me to take revenge on my own enemies. You all don't have to worry about this." Sima You Yue said, "When I return back to the Academy, I will slowly play with her..."
