Chapter 1938: Striving for favor

Di Zhe didn’t know what she was thinking and thought about how she was willing to teach him this method, so he was even touched.

However, after learning the method and interrogating each and every single one, he finally realised that she wasn’t really that kind hearted after all. She merely taught him this so she wouldn’t have to do this herself.

As such, he came to look for Di Yi and Di Er as well, teaching them how to do it. He got them to interrogate those people and to take the information from their minds.

Di Yi and Di Er learnt how to do it and it made the subsequent interrogations a lot more effective. They also managed to obtain quite a bit of information.

After Sima You Yue imparted the method to Di Zhe, she immediately handed him the task of interrogation.

“Just give me the tasks involving the Enchanted Music Sect.” Di Zhe said, “It would be better if you interacted less with those from the Soul Sect right now, got it?”

Her soul was just too attractive right now. If not because she was Young Aunt’s daughter, even he might have attacked her. Much less needed to be said for the Soul Clan that was obsessed about souls. He was just afraid that she wouldn’t be able to protect herself.

That was why it was better for her to avoid interacting with those people at all.

Sima You Yue knew that her soul was very delicious as well and wasn’t strong enough right now. She wouldn’t interact with those people for no reason.

“Cousin, The general from the soul clan. Have you met him before?” Sima You Yue asked.

“I’ve seen him before from afar.” Di Zhe muttered lightly, “That person depends upon his powerful underworld beast and has provoked me many times. Recently he escaped when things got bad. He isn’t a big deal.”

“But I heard that he’s very powerful.” Sima You Yue didn’t believe him. She saw his expression and it looked like he had suffered quite a bit in his hands.

“You still don’t believe me?”

“I don’t.” Sima You Yue replied to him honestly.

“…”

“About the incidents involving Western Verge City and Immortal Hex City…” Sima You Yue saw that he was about to rage so she hurriedly changed the subject.

“What did you find out?”

“I didn’t find out anything.” Sima You Yue said, ‘Those people are very careful. Although I am already certain, those people have already been completely befuddled by the soul clan. However, I haven’t found the person who is controlling them.”

“Tell me who those people are and leave the rest to me.” Di Zhe said.

“Alright.” Sima You Yue was very happy that he enjoyed doing everything himself. This way, she wouldn’t have to bother about anything.

There was no way Di Zhe didn’t know what she was thinking. However, he couldn’t bear to and didn’t want her to interfere in anything related to the soul clan. It was enough to let her pass her days happily.

“Tell me everything you know. Then, continue to use your scarlet bees to keep an eye on the situation. If you have any news, just let me know.” Di Zhe said.

Sima You yue thought about it, then took out a scarlet bee and handed it to him, saying, “This is a scarlet queen bee that just emerged. Although it is not as powerful as mine, it will still produce some scarlet bees. You just have to form a contract with it and you will be able to form a link with all the scarlet bees under it.”

Scarlet would produce new queen bees after a period of time. The new queen bees would take some bees with it and leave, starting a new hive. A few scarlet queens had already been produced in her Spirit Pagoda. However, they could not be compared to the one she had. She had the real scarlet queen, the queen of ten thousand bees!

“You want to give it to me?” Di Zhe looked at those scarlet bees a little excitedly. He knew that Sima You Yue used scarlet bees to scout for information and was envious that she had formed a contract with such a useful beast. He didn’t think that she would actually gift him with one.

“I don’t have much use for the ones that Scarlet produced.” Sima You Yue said, “This way, your bees can scout for information and you will know at the first instance.”

“Mm mm. This is definitely useful to me. I won’t hold back then.” Di Zhe took the scarlet bee and immediately formed a contract.

Later on, Sima You Yue took out his scarlet bees, “You don’t have a contract with these. If you have no space for them, then let them follow you outside. They have a connection with the queen bee. If you tell it anything, they will know as well.”

“There’s no need to go through so much trouble.” Di Zhe said, keeping the scarlet bees away.

It turns out that he had his own space that could contain life.

“Then you can go ahead and investigate on your own. I won’t keep my bees, they’ll just keep an eye on the situation.” Sima You Yue said.

“Alright.” Di Zhe replied. Although she kept throwing this issue to him and washed her hands off this matter, she still cared quite a bit about it.

“Oh, the sky is turning bright already. Cousin, you must be tired after rushing all the way here. Why don’t you go ahead and rest?” Sima You Yue said.

Di Zhe stood up, “I still want to discuss the current situation with Pi Ling. You should stay here. Don’t run about for the time being, got it?” Di Zhe said.

“Cousin, what are you worried about?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Although Xu Yu will deal with the arrangements for this, it might still be nearby. They love eating souls and are very sensitive to souls. If they discover you, it will bring you a lot of trouble.” Di Zhe said.

“I got it.” Sima You yue replied.

“Mm. The steward here is one of my men. That is why you don’t need to worry about what happens tonight.” Di Zhe left and the people in the house left with him. The inn was finally quiet again.

“Whew-” Sima You Yue heaved a sigh and muttered, “Cousin looks too fierce when he’s serious.”

Wu Lingyu laughed, “He’s worried about you.”

“I know that too. Otherwise, I would have sent him flying with a punch.” Sima You Yue siad, ‘However, this is good. With him here, I can leave it to him and don’t have to worry about anything.”

Wu Lingyu saw her smile. Although she didn’t have to bother with this, she definitely wouldn’t ignore it completely. She merely didn’t have to take the responsibility and was able to relax.

She returned to her own room to rest. Sima You Yue slept till noon the next day. When she woke up, she saw a black-faced Wu Lingyu as well as Mo Yu, who was leisurely drinking tea.

She furrowed her eyebrows. These two people were too powerful. She actually didn’t notice that they were here at all.

“When did my room become a place where you guys could enter and leave as you pleased?” She sat up and looked at the two of them solemnly.

Wu Lingyu glared at Mo Yu. He had only noticed this guy after he had entered You Yue’s room. He had wanted to chase him out, but he would definitely wake her if the two of them started fighting. Hence, he could only glare at him.

Mo Yu ignored how angry Sima You Yue was and said while looking at her, “I want a scarlet bee too.”

That Di Zhe. Last night, he had shown off the fact that Sima You Yue had given him a scarlet bee the moment he returned. He was so smug and deserved a beating.

“Why did you come here to join in the fun!” Sima You Yue rolled her eyes at him.

“You even gave him one. I want one too so he stops coming to me to show off!” Mo Yu said.

Sima You Yue pursed her lips. Di Zhe actually went to do something so pointless, he actually ran over there to show off. And she was even more speechless towards this person in front of her. He was an old man who had lived for so many years, and he had actually run over here to ask her for something just because of this. Where was his sense of pride?!
