Sima You Yue glanced at him, not afraid that he would be angry.

“Are you so certain that I won’t be angry at you?” Di Zhe slapped her hand away while many pairs of eyes were watching.

“Yes!” She answered confidently, she wasn’t angry despite her hand being slapped as she passed him her handkerchief.

Di Zhe took the handkerchief as he wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, with the fresh scar still hurting.

“I wasn’t returning his past favours, I just didn’t want to forget the little warmth from that year.” Di Zhe explained.

“I know.” Sima You Yue understood how he felt. His life was filled with darkness, hopelessness and loneliness before he met Yu Ke Luo. Third Elder Di should have given him a good life as his Grandfather. He should have been the one protecting him, but it would be hard under those circumstances.

Also, he didn’t want to forget those times too as it was still his past even though it was dark.

“Thank you.” Di Zhe thanked her for standing up for him and for understanding him.

“You don’t have to thank me, but what is up with Meng Ru Ji?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Meng Ru Ji is one of Ghost Concubine’s men and he is also Meng clan’s second-in-command. We found out that he was helping the Ghost Concubine to contact the Prince from below, so we killed him. The Di clan’s finances has always been reliant on the Meng Clan.” Di Zhe didn’t explain much but Sima You Yue understood what was going on.

The Meng clan would not let this matter go since he had killed Meng Ru Ji. However, they couldn’t do anything to Di Zhe so they vented their anger on the Di Clan by restricting them financially.

Even though the Di Clan was very angry at Di Zhe after learning about it, he wasn’t the little boy whom anyone could bully, he was now the Killing God. Anyone who got on his nerves had to be careful. No one from Di Clan dared to approach him except for Third Elder Di.

“Third Elder Di is fine, he will go out to take a breather from time to time. He is easily persuaded by others. But he always thought that he had a say in the Clan, that’s why such a thing happened.” Di Liu added in a soft voice.

Di Zhe shot a glare at him that he stiffened up and muttered to himself, wondering why he had to comment so much.

“Are the finances in the Meng Clan that great?” Sima You Yue questioned.

“Yes, they are the biggest business clan in Imperial Capital. One third of the businesses in Imperial Capital belong to the Meng Clan.” Di Zhe said.

Sima You Yue muttered, no one could beat his willfulness since he dared to kill the second-in-command of such a clan.

“Do you intend to deal with the Meng Clan as well?” Although it sounded like she was asking, her voice sounded confident.

“Yes.” Di Zhe admitted, “Ghost Concubine’s finances are heavily dependent on the Meng Clan. We will first have to deal with the Meng Clan before we can deal with Ghost Concubine.”

“Since it has to do with dealing with Ghost Concubine, let me know if there’s anything I can do.” Sima You Yue said.

“I won’t and I don’t intend to stand on ceremony.” Di Zhe said.

“Are you not going to thank me?”

“Do I really have to?”

“You thanked me earlier on.”

“…”

Every one lowered their head as they laughed, seeing how she ran her mouth. No one had ever witnessed Di Zhe like this. They could tell that he was very happy being with her.

Di Liu was right, Sima You Yue was special in Di Zhe’s heart!

“Greetings to Princess.” They came over and greeted Sima You Yue.

“The few of you must be the brains of the Di Clan’s army, right? Di Liu told me about it.” Sima You Yue lifted her hand and everyone stood up.

“Princess, it’s been a while.” Although Master Ghost was hiding in a cloak, those who knew him could tell that he sounded happy.

“Ghost Master, it’s been a while, how are you?” Sima You Yue smiled as she responded.

She felt lament towards Ghost Master, it wasn’t a good experience seeing him when they met the very first time as it triggered the Ghost Clan blood in her when he tried to restrict her body, which made her fell into a coma. That coma led to Xu Jin and Ge Lang being trapped for years as they went into Lost Place to look for a solution for her after knowing about her condition.

The second time they met was in the Immortal Land, where they went through life and death together because of what happened. He was very sincere to Di Zhe and made Di Zhe accept him. Seeing him again was like seeing an old acquaintance.

“Ghost Master, you came back early. Did you kill Meng Ru Hai?” Di Yi asked.

“Of course, since when did the Ghost Master fail?” Di Liu said smilingly.

“Not only did we kill him, we also killed those who came to rescue Ghost Concubine.” The Ghost Master said.

“Meng Ru Hai must be from the Meng Clan, is he strong? How dare he attack Ghost Master.” Sima You Yue asked.

Meng Ru Hai and Meng Ru Ji must be from the same generation since their names were similar. Why did Ghost Master have to do it himself?

Di Zhe knew what she was thinking and explained, “Meng Ru Hai is the Meng clan’s third-in-command, although he doesn’t really care about what happens in the Meng Clan’s, he is one of the strongest in that generation. Even the Patriarch of the Meng Clan can’t match up to him. We sent Ghost Master to make sure everyone is safe.”

“It seems like Meng Ru Hai’s status is very high in the Meng clan.” Sima You Yue rubbed her chin, “You just killed Meng Ru Ji and now you killed Meng Ru Hai, aren’t you afraid that Meng clan will come for you?!”

“I’m waiting for them to come for me. How would I have the opportunity if they don’t make a move?” Di Zhe said.

“I believe Ghost Concubine won’t let this matter rest, seeing how she sent two elites to save Meng Ru Hai. Now you’re fighting with her, are you confident that you’ll win?”

“Thirty percent, I guess.” Di Zhe said. “Including the army I have on hand.”

“Is Ghost Concubine that powerful?”

“The Ghost clan’s members were originally very strong. They developed a lot of forces with the help of Ghost Concubine and I suspect that they have support from the Hidden Clan.” Di Zhe said.

“Hidden Clan?” Sima You Yue was surprised.

There were Hidden Clans in Human Realm and Ghost Realm, but it was surprising that these Hidden Clans would actually support Ghost Concubine.

But come to think of it, they were all driven by benefits.

“It would be troublesome if the Hidden Clan participated.” She was worried for Di Zhe. She came across Human Realm’s Hidden Clan’s power and thought that the Hidden Clan in Ghost Realm wouldn’t be any different, it would be troublesome if they had to deal with them.

“This is the time where I need your help.”

“Me? Are you going to let me deal with the Hidden Clan alone?” Sima You Yue pursed her lips.

“That’s not possible. You’ll just have to do a little something..” Di Zhe became embarrassed as he spoke.
