Chapter 345: Let Si Tu Xuan Come in Person
“Ancestral Patriarch!”

The other people of the Si Tu Clan hobbled over, their faces full of anger, and said: “You must avenge us!”

“Idiots!”

Si Tu Jian Nan’s eyes rolled. He turned his hand and slapped the speaker, spinning him in place.

“It was you lot talking nonsense there that made me misunderstand Fellow Daoist Yu! Just see how I will deal with you when we get back! Come here and apologize to Fellow Daoist Yu!” he snapped.

“Ah?”

The people of the Si Tu Clan were not stupid. They were stunned for a moment, then quickly realized they had provoked someone they should not have. They hurried to bow and get ready to apologize.

Yu Zhao spoke coldly: “There is no need to apologize.”

Si Tu Jian Nan felt slightly relieved, then heard Yu Zhao say: “If you want to take back your Sacred Relic of the Si Tu Family, then have Si Tu Xuan come in person.”

“Fellow Daoist Yu! Th-this will not do!” Si Tu Jian Nan cried.

Si Tu Jian Nan’s face changed greatly. Setting aside how much time a trip back and forth would waste, if this matter reached the Patriarch and the Ancestral Patriarchs, he would definitely be punished.

He squeezed out a smile and said: “Fellow Daoist Yu, I handled this poorly. However you want to solve it, I will fully cooperate. There is no need to trouble Xuan’er to make another trip.”

Yu Zhao said firmly: “I will only talk about this matter with him.”

If Si Tu Jian Nan were not from the Si Tu Clan, she would never let this go so easily.

They were the ones in the wrong first, yet they wanted to rely on the name of the Si Tu Clan to easily wipe this away. It would not be that easy.

She wanted the entire Si Tu Clan to know that they had offended her.

Yu Zhao gave Bu Yan and Ji Han Zhou a look, and the three of them started walking forward together.

“Fellow Daoist Yu!”

Si Tu Jian Nan hurried after them, wanting to stop her.

Yu Zhao glanced back and said: “Fellow Daoist Si Tu, please stay where you are. If you chase us again, I cannot promise your sacred relic will stay in one piece.”

Si Tu Jian Nan halted his steps and could only watch as the three of them left.

The people of the Si Tu Clan gathered beside Si Tu Jian Nan and complained: “She is only a Nascent Soul, what is she acting so high and mighty for!”

Si Tu Jian Nan grew furious and slapped out again.

“Idiot! If you could fight me to a draw at her age, the seat of Young Heir would be yours, and the entire Si Tu Clan would treat you like an ancestor!” he shouted.

Only after seeing Yu Zhao did Si Tu Jian Nan understand why Si Tu Xuan always mentioned her after he went back. Growing up in the same generation as such a monster was both an honor and a sorrow.

“Elder, should we send a message to the Young Heir now?” someone asked.

“Do not send word back to the family clan yet. I will go find Yu’er and ask her to help smooth things over,” Si Tu Jian Nan said.

“If Miss Yu takes action, we will surely succeed right away,” someone said.

“Let us hope so,” he replied.

…

Ji Han Zhou asked with some surprise: “Bu Yan, why did you not sneak up and hit them over the head while Yu Zhao and that Jian Nan were fighting? That is not like you.”

Ji Han Zhou had been waiting for Bu Yan to deliver those rude guys to the afterlife, but Bu Yan had not done anything, which really surprised him.

Bu Yan smiled faintly and said: “They will be back.”

Bu Yan’s mouth was sharp. His eyes were even sharper.

Ji Han Zhou raised an eyebrow: “Looks like they still will not give up.”

He looked at Yu Zhao again and asked: “Senior Sister Yu, what should we do if they catch up again?”

Yu Zhao said: “We will just counter whatever they do.”

Now that both sides had exchanged names, they probably would not use force again. No matter what the people of the Si Tu Clan wanted to do, she only needed to cling tightly to her demand and refuse to give in.

Right now, what worried her more was Bai Ran. Bai Ran’s situation was unknown. She did not know if his deep sleep was a good thing or a bad thing.

Yu Zhao thought for a moment and decided that after they got rid of the people from the Si Tu Clan, they would look for a safe place and then find some members of the Demon Race to ask about his condition.

The people of the Si Tu Clan came faster than Yu Zhao had expected. After one day passed, Si Tu Jian Nan’s voice sounded from behind the three of them: “Fellow Daoist Yu! Fellow Daoist Yu, please wait!”

Ji Han Zhou looked back and said: “They really did come.”

Bu Yan said: “Not only did they come, they brought more people.”

The three slowed down, and before long, Si Tu Jian Nan and the rest caught up. Their group had grown from five people to eight. The three new people were all young women.

The woman standing at the front looked about half like Si Tu Xuan. But unlike Si Tu Xuan’s handsome looks, her brows and eyes were much more charming. Every move she made was full of grace and charm.

She cupped her hands and said: “Greetings, Fellow Daoists. I am Si Tu Yu.”

“She is also Xuan’er’s older female cousin and has always been on very good terms with him,” Si Tu Jian Nan added in introduction.

Yu Zhao and the other two returned the salute: “Fellow Daoist Si Tu.”

Si Tu Yu smiled and said: “I often hear that disappointing cousin of mine mention Fellow Daoist Yu. Now that I see you today, you truly are extraordinary. If Fellow Daoist Yu has time in the future, you must come visit the Si Tu Clan. My cousin and I will surely welcome you with all our hearts.”

Si Tu Yu was smart enough not to mention the grudge between Yu Zhao and Si Tu Jian Nan. Her words sounded very sincere.

So Yu Zhao followed her topic and chatted along, not saying a word about the sacred relic.

“I have already sent a message to my cousin and asked him to come no matter what,” Si Tu Yu said. “I wonder where Fellow Daoist Yu plans to go next. Could we have the honor of traveling together?”

Yu Zhao’s brows faintly drew together, then quickly relaxed. She said: “Of course you can.”

“That is wonderful. Then we will trouble the three of you,” Si Tu Yu said happily, and quickly told the people of the Si Tu Clan to follow.

Ji Han Zhou did not understand, so he sent Yu Zhao a voice transmission: “Why are we taking them with us?”

Yu Zhao’s lips curved in a small smile as she replied by voice transmission: “Free labor delivered to our door. Of course we should take it.”

Yu Zhao had another important task on this trip, which was to go to the Ruins of the Ancient Dao Field and search for the missing Lou Yu Shan. But the entrance to the ruins was hard to find. When Yu Zhao accepted the task, she had not felt very confident about it.

Since the people of the Si Tu Clan wanted to follow them, she might as well make use of them. That way she would not have to worry about not having enough people.

After Bu Yan and Ji Han Zhou learned of Yu Zhao’s plan, they immediately agreed to it.

And so, the two groups headed together toward the ruins of the Ancient Dao Arena.

Si Tu Yu was outgoing and generous by nature, and very talkative. Yu Zhao had a pretty good impression of her and did not reject her deliberate attempts to get close.

Seeing that the mood was just right, Si Tu Yu tried to ask about the destination of Yu Zhao and the others.

Yu Zhao did not hide it and directly told her about the Ruins of the Ancient Dao Field.

Si Tu Yu could hardly believe her ears. The Ruins of the Ancient Dao Field? The holy land that countless cultivators dreamed of? Yu Zhao had just told her like that?

For a moment, Si Tu Yu felt that Yu Zhao was joking with her.

But when she looked at Yu Zhao and the other two, none of them looked like they were joking. Si Tu Yu could not be sure for a while, and her expression showed some doubt.

Yu Zhao simply smiled. Whether Si Tu Yu believed it or not did not affect her plan, so she had no intention of explaining further.

Si Tu Yu also quickly thought it through. Yu Zhao had no reason to joke about something like this. Since Yu Zhao had said it was the Ruins of the Ancient Dao Field, it could not be false.

It had to be for this reason that Yu Zhao had specially asked her uncle to call Si Tu Xuan over, right? Yes, that had to be it! Had her cousin not said that he and Yu Zhao were close friends who understood each other well? So when Yu Zhao ran into a great chance, she had not forgotten to call him along!

Si Tu Yu held back her excitement and sent a voice transmission to her uncle, telling him to immediately send a message to the family clan, ordering Si Tu Xuan to set out at once. She even stressed that only Si Tu Xuan was allowed to come.

Si Tu Jian Nan was surprised, but he still followed his niece’s suggestion and told someone to handle it.

It had to be said, this was a beautiful misunderstanding.
