Sima You Yue did not tell Sima Liu Xuan that Yu Ke Luo had chosen to leave. There was no benefit for him to know this information now, and would just upset him.

She followed Ghost King to the Imperial Capital. With him leading the way, there was no need to take a teleportation array. There was also no need for her to make her own spatial tunnel. She gladly relaxed.

Before she had left, she told Murong Hui that she would meet him in the Imperial Capital. With the incident that happened a few days ago, even if they knew that she was Murong Xi, they would not dare to do anything anymore.

After coming out from the spatial tunnel, they were already in the Imperial Capital Palace. The majestic palace towered above and you could see the layout of the capital just by standing outside the palace. However, because it was too large, she couldn’t see the entirety of it.

“King!” The guards standing outside knelt down.

“This is Princess You Yue.” Ghost King told them, which was equivalent to announcing her status as the Princess to all of the Ghost Realm.

Those guards did not hesitate as they immediately lowered their heads to Sima You Yue and greeted her respectfully. “Princess You Yue.”

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to the Youthful Palace.” Ghost King said as he turned around to leave. Sima You Yue, Wu Lingyu and the rest followed behind him.

Once he had left , the guards on the ground stood up again and looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with confusion.

“Princess You Yue. Could she be the very Sima You Yue that is the centre of all attention now?”

“She should be, she looks very similar to the Dark Princess.”

‘King had arranged for her to stay in Youthful Palace. That palace has been empty for a very long time.”

“It seems that King really dotes on her! He let her live at Youthful Palace the moment she came.”

“Isn’t that so! I heard that a lot happened to her on the way here, it seems that the palace will be bustling soon.”

“Really, those princesses never got along with the Dark Princess. Now that she’s here, we’ll be able to watch a good show!”

“You dare to watch the princesses like a show, do you feel like you’ve lived for too long? Every single one of you had better stop muttering amongst yourselves and guard this place properly! If anyone dares to speak anything more, I’ll punish you!”

“Yes, Captain!”

…

Sima You Yue followed Ghost King into the royal Palace. After many twists and turns, they arrived in front of a huge palace.

“This is Youthful Palace. Your mother lived here before as well.” Ghost King said.

Sima You Yue looked at the two words, Youthful Palace, and became extremely emotional.

This was the place her mother lived in? She wondered whether or not any traces of her remained. It had been such a long time, but she has actually gotten close to where her mother used to live.

At this time, a few tens of servant guards and guards poured out from the palace door as they knelt down in front of her in an organised manner, “Greetings, Princess.”

“From today onwards, You Yue will be living here. You have to take care of her well.”

“Understood.”

“Understood.”

“These people have served your mother before. They should serve you well as well.” Ghost King said.

Sima You Yue was rather puzzled. Yu Ke Luo had already been imprisoned for more than a hundred years, but those who used to take care of her were still around.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you for a look around.” Ghost King had just finished speaking when she saw a guard come from behind her.

Although that guard didn’t say anything, Ghost King still walked away as he said to Sima You Yue, “I have some things to settle. I’ll see you again when I’m back.”

Sima You Yue nodded. As she watched Ghost King leave, she said to the guards and servants kneeling on the ground, “You may all rise.”

“Thank you, Princess.”

Sima You Yue entered the palace and realised that the inside was decorated in a very unique manner. It was very different from other palaces.

“This palace really is different from the others.” She praised.

“Princess, these were all done by Dark Princess.”

“My mother?”

“Yes. Princess, Dark Princess was the last Princess to live here. Nobody else ever has since. Kong instructed us to leave this place unchanged.” The servant girl walking at the front said.

“You may just refer to my mother as Princess in the future. Just call me Young Princess.” Sima You Yue said.

“Understood, Young Princess.” The palace girls agreed happily.

In their hearts, Yu Ke Luo had always been their princess. That was why they couldn’t shake the habit yet. Sima You Yue did this in order to honor their feelings towards Yu Ke Luo.

Also, she truly was the youngest princess from this generation. Although the children from the royal clans were younger than her, they did not have the title of Princess.

“Princess. Youthful Palace has four halls. You will be staying in the main hall, Youthful Hall,. Based on King’s orders, the other three guests will live in the palaces beside.” A servant girl said.

“What is your name? Sima You Yue asked.

“This servant is called Xi Yu. I used to be Princess’s lead servant.” Xi Yu said, “Right now, Youthful Palace is under my charge.”

“Since it used to be, I will have to leave it to you in the future as well.” Sima You Yue smiled lightly at her.

Xi Yu saw the way she looked when she smiled. She looked very similar to Yu Ke Luo and the corners of her eyes filled with tears, “Understood, your servant receives your order.”

“You are all veterans who have taken care of my mother before. I will leave the care of this palace to you.” Sima You Yue gave them a light bow.

On the way yere, she couldn’t understand something. There were those with many servants and those who only had a few. Those who followed good masters naturally stood above the rest. The Youthful Palace had already stood empty for over a hundred years but was still here. This showed that they were fiercely loyal to Yu Ke Luo. They still remained guard here even though they knew she would not return.

“Young Princess, your words are too severe!” Xi Yu and the others hurriedly knelt down, “Caring for Young Princess is our base responsibility. To care for you is our absolute honor!”

Sima You Yue stepped forward and gently pulled her up. The rest stood up as well.

“I won’t say too many pleasantries. I came to the palace in order to cultivate well and hurry up and rescue my mother. I will have to leave the future matters regarding the palace to you.”

“Your servants will definitely take care of you wholeheartedly.”

“I have two servants. When the time comes, I will bring them to the palace. Xi Yu, I’ll leave it to you to teach them properly.” Sima You Yue was referring to Ting Shan and Ting Shui. Earlier on, the both of them said that they wanted to follow her and she was used to them as well. Once Murong Hui arrived in the Imperial Capital, he would send those two over.

“Yes, Young Princess.”

“You may take your leaves for now. I have some things I want to talk to them about.” She waved her hands and Xi Yu led the people out.

“Young Miss, how long will you stay here?” Black Shadow asked.

“I think I’ll be here for a while.” Sima You Yue sighed. Only then did she tell them about what Ghost King said.

“So you’re saying that, before you break through to the ranks of Underworld Paragon, you won’t be able to leave this place.” Black Shadow said.

“Something like that. However, my focus now is on the Cardinal Points Divine Seal.” Sima You Yue said, “I have a feeling that it won’t be so easy to find the Cardinal Points Divine Seal.”

“Since this exists, there will be traces of it.” Huan said.

“Ghost King doesn’t know?” Wu Lingyu asked.

“He says that he has on with him, but isn’t willing to tell me where the other three are. He’s afraid that I’ll go and cause trouble..” Sima You Yue was rather speechless. Was she really that impulsive?
