Sima You Yue was shocked by Little Helper’s reaction so she asked using thoughts, “What’s with Mu Si? Why is your reaction so huge?”
“Elder Sister You Yue, Master said that Mu Si has something to do with you finding your Father. He asked me to come to help you find Mu Si.” Little Helper explained, “I didn’t expect to find him so fast, doesn’t that make me useless now.”
Sima You Yue looked him up and down. She didn’t expect that Mu Si would have something to do with her mission.
As a bullied youth, she even offended a big force when she met him, could he help her to save her Father?
Mu Si’s expression didn’t change knowing that she was looking at him. He didn’t even pause when he was checking on his wounds.
“You don’t have to look anymore, the pill I gave you is one of the top graded pills, your wounds are mostly healed, the rest will take time.” Sima You Yue said.
Mu Si checked his own wounds. It was mostly healed like what she said. Initially, his wounds would take half a month to heal to the state that it was now, but he didn’t think that it would recover just in half a day.
Sima You Yue walked over, squatted beside him, poked his swollen wound and said, “You didn’t even thank me after I saved you and gave you a good quality pill?”
Mu Si fell silent for a moment, just when Sima You Yue and Di Wu thought he wouldn’t speak, he spoke concisely.
“I gave you guys a place to stay.”
It meant, this was an expression of gratitude.
So concise!
There wasn’t any chair, so Sima You Yue just took out a mat and sat beside Mu Si.
Mu Si lifted his head, his eyes filled with precautions. Other than his Father, no one ever sat so close to him.
“Don’t worry, I’m not interested in taking your life.” Sima You Yue continued, “Would you still be alive if I really wanted to kill you?”
Mu Si understood what she was trying to say, but deep down, he had already despised humans, so he wouldn’t put down his guard just because she said that.
But that gaze wasn’t that cold after all.
“Who are those people today? Why did they bully you?” Sima You Yue questioned.
Speaking of those people, Mu Si’s eyes were filled with hatred. Sima You Yue frowned. Zhang Shuo was already killed by him, but it didn’t eliminate his hatred towards him. Was it because the hatred was so deep, or was it because there were other reasons?
But Mu Si didn’t seem to want to talk about it. He closed his eyes, leaned against the wall and ignored her.
What a proud kid.
Sima You Yue wanted to force him to say something. She told Di Wu, “Go out and check the situation here.”
“Sure.” Di Wu nodded and almost got out.
“It’s best you don’t go out now.” Mu Si voiced out.
“Why?” Di Wu was curious, he was a ghost, so it shouldn’t be a problem if he went out, right?
“Zhang Shuo is dead, it will be chaotic outside, if they find new faces at this point of time, they will definitely capture you.” Mu Si said.
“Is Zhang Shuo’s status high?”
“That Old Devil didn’t care about Ghost City in recent years, so now the authority will be made by Zhang’s clan. That Zhang Shuo was someone important in Zhang’s clan, now that he’s dead, they won’t let it go just like that.” Mu Si said.
“Since you know Zhang Shuo has a high status, why did you want to kill him?” Sima You Yue questioned.
“I’ve always wanted to kill him, but there wasn’t a chance.” Mu Si said ruthlessly.
“Did he get people to beat you up this often?”
Mu Si clenched his fist, acknowledging what she said.
“Looks like it.” Sima You Yue continued, “Those things outside were broken by them when they beat you?”
Silence.
Those broken things in the courtyard were his chairs and benches, it was damaged when those people used it to beat him.
Sima You Yue felt sorry for this stubborn guy and asked. “Why did they beat you?”
“They couldn’t fight with my Father. They were scolded by my Father last time, so they focused their attention on me.” Mu Si said.
Sima You Yue noticed that his eyes were filled with respect when he talked about his Father, but there was a faint sadness in between his eyebrows.
“Is your Father powerful?!”
“My Father is the most powerful person in Ghost City!” Mu Si continued, “They wouldn’t dare to provoke his dignity if he wasn’t missing!”
“How long has your Father been missing for?”
“Seven years.” Mu Si continued, “He has never come back since I was eight.”
“They started to bully you ever since your Father went missing?”
“Two years later. When my Father went missing, they were worried that he would come back, so they didn’t dare to make any trouble.” Mu Si continued, “Two years later, my Father didn’t come back and they started to find problems with me. But because there was no news of my Father, they didn’t dare to take my life. But recently, the news of my Father being dead was spread throughout, so they thought my Father really died. That’s why they’ll be ruthless to me. Humph, my Father will definitely come back!”
No wonder there were those things lying around in the courtyard, they didn’t dare to kill him, so most of the time they would kick and punch and smash things around.
“How old were you?”
“I was eight when my Father went missing.”
Went missing when he was eight, started getting bullied at ten, he had been bullied for five years.
No wonder the hatred in his eyes was so deep, if it was her, she would have killed them.
“Other than him, were there others who bullied you?”
“There are many ignorant and incompetent people in the city, as well as those who take advantage of the situation. Those that boot licked will change in a second.” Mu Si answered.
With that said, there must be a lot of bullies.
“You and Zhang Shuo already have problems, why did you dare to bring us here? Aren’t you afraid that they will search this place?” Sima You Yue asked.
“They won’t come here.” Mu Si continued, “Although they know I’ve always been bullied by them, they don’t think I have the capability to kill him. On the streets, many people saw how I was beaten half to death. I’m not that capable of killing someone who has so many guards around him.”
Sima You Yue felt that there was logic to what he said.
Usually, those people would look for someone who was more powerful than him. People like Mu Si who were pressured without any strength, he would be the first to be eliminated from the list.
She didn’t expect that he would be smart despite his age.
“Mu Si! Mu Si!”
An anxious voice came from the courtyard, the indifferent Mu Si stood up quickly upon hearing it, he rushed out and said, “Uncle Yang Zi, I’m at home!”
“You’re home? That’s good! I heard someone killed that rascal, Zhang Shuo, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.”
“Mu Si, Zhang’s clan are searching for potential suspects. Stay at home and don’t go out, alright? I….” The guy was shocked when he came in and saw Sima You Yue and Di Wu who were sitting on the floor. Instinctively, he pulled Mu Si behind his back and looked at them with his guard up.
