After a busy day outside, when he came back in the evening, Sima Lie felt even more uneasy.
"Housekeeper, where are you guys now?"
The butler came in from the outside and said, "General, the eldest and the second young masters have gone to inspect the property in Lincheng. The third young master is at home, and the fourth and fifth young masters are at the academy."
"Go and call them back," Sima Lie said.
The butler looked at Sima Lie in surprise. Didn't something happen today? Why did he suddenly want to call them back.
"General, now?"
"Well, you go now, let the first young master and the second young master come back overnight." Sima Lie said.
Seeing Sima Lie's serious expression, the housekeeper knew that something serious must have happened, and said, "I'm going now, old slave."
After the butler left, Sima Lie was in the room, feeling agitated all the time, walking up and down the room.
Soon the steward came back and said, "General, I have sent someone to find the eldest and second young masters, and they should be back tomorrow morning. The fourth young master has already returned, and the fifth young master is in retreat, so I haven't seen her."
"Didn't you see You Yue?" Sima Lie said.
"Yes. When we went, Mr. Qu said that the fifth young master said before retreating that she should not call her until she comes out. It must be a critical time." The butler replied. "But they said that she has been in for two days, and she should be leaving the customs."
"Well, let's go and have a look tomorrow morning. If Fifth Young Master is out of the customs, let her come back immediately." Sima Lie said.
"Yes, General." The butler led the order and went down.
Early the next morning, apart from Sima Youyue, Sima Youming, Sima Youqi, Sima Youran, and Sima Youle all arrived.
"Grandpa, why did you call us back suddenly?" Sima Youming asked.
"That's right, what's urgent, there are still several shops we haven't checked." Sima Youqi said.
"We also have class today." Sima Youle said.
"You leave the imperial capital immediately and don't come back within a year." Sima Lie said.
"what?!"
"why?!"
"grandfather?!"
"go out?!"
The four of them were shocked by Sima Lie's words, and even the housekeeper looked at Sima Lie in surprise.
"Well, I'll pack up and leave in a while, and I'm not allowed to come back within a year." Sima Lie said.
"Grandpa, what happened? Why do you want us to leave?" Sima asked quietly.
"Just listen to me." Sima Lie said with a serious face.
"Grandpa, if you don't tell us the reason, we won't leave." Sima Youming said.
"That's right, Grandpa, if you don't say anything, we won't leave." Sima You Le said.
"You guys, don't make me angry!" Sima Lie scolded.
"Grandpa, if you don't tell us the reason, even if we leave, we won't feel at ease." Sima Youran said.
"Alas—" Sima Lie sighed, and said, "The tempers of you guys, let me tell you why..."
Sima Lie talked about the family affairs, and then his hunch.
"Grandpa, you mean, people from the family might come here?" Sima Youming frowned, they never thought they had such a history.
"I had a very strong feeling yesterday. I thought they might be coming." Sima Lie said, "You are the root of the Sima family, so you must leave. If something really happens, you can be regarded as staying behind."
"Grandpa, where's the fifth brother?" Sima asked quietly.
"I'm still in the academy and in retreat. I sent someone to notify her. Once she leaves the retreat, I will send her away immediately." Sima Lie said, "Okay, there is no need to delay now, you all leave immediately."
"But, Grandpa, if those people really come, how can we rest assured that you are alone at home..." Sima You Le was unwilling to leave, and wanted to stay with Sima Lie.
"Nonsense!" Sima Lie yelled suddenly, "If it's really someone from there, how could your power be able to resist? Someone's eyes can make you immobile, what do you have to fight against them? Life?"
"However, they may not come..." Sima Youle lowered his head and said in a low voice.
"Grandpa, why don't you come with us." Sima Youran said.
"As a general of a country, how can I leave with you." Sima Lie shook his head, "Remember, no matter what happens, don't come back. The most important thing is to save your life, you know?"
"Got it, Grandpa."
"Okay, everything is ready for you, take a space ring each, let's go." Sima Lie said, taking out four space rings.
The four of them stepped forward, took the interspatial ring, and put it on with a drop of blood.
Sima Lie came out with the four of them. Just as he reached the yard, his body jerked and he looked at the sky warily.
"coming!"
As soon as Sima Lie's words fell, a burst of coercion quickly came from outside the city.
"Hurry up!" Sima Lie urged Sima Youming who was beside him.
"Haha, I want to run, it's too late!" A presumptuous voice came, shocking the entire imperial capital.
Sima Lie jumped up and came to the sky above the General's Mansion. Looking at the group of people flying towards him, his face was more solemn than ever.
Sensing the arrival of a strong man, everyone in the imperial capital stopped and looked around.
"Shua—"
"Shua—"
Two figures flashed into the air quickly, they were the old principal and a guardian of the royal family.
Seeing Sima Lie, the old headmaster flew over and asked, "What's going on? The three Spirit Emperor breaths, and the Spirit Sect, who is here?"
Sima Lie glanced at the old headmaster and said, "This is a matter for my Sima family. You and Mr. Huang don't need to get involved."
Huang Lao naturally didn't want to get involved, and stood far away when he heard Sima Lie's words.
"Strong..."
Sima Lie took out a ring and said, "Please, give this to You Yue. Don't let her come out. Just go back."
The old headmaster took the ring and flew to the side, but did not leave, but paid attention to the affairs here from a distance.
Sima Lin led Sima Kai and the others to the sky above the imperial capital very quickly. Seeing Sima Lie, Sima Kai was a little surprised, and blurted out, "You're not dead!"
Sima Lin, Sima Kai, Sima Qing, the three spirit emperors, and Sima, the spirit sect, looked down at Sima Youming and the other four in the courtyard, and a flash of determination flashed in their hearts.
"Sima Lie, back then you fled in fear of crime. The family spent so much energy but failed to catch you. I didn't expect you to hide here." When Sima saw Sima Lie, a strange emotion flashed in his eyes.
Before coming, he and Sima Kai had agreed that no matter what, they couldn't be allowed to go back to the family alive. If possible, it is best to kill them all on the spot.
Sima Kai looked at Sima Lie with murderous intent. Since he was attacked by the six-fingered rat and survived, he should have recognized it as a monster. He must not be allowed to speak out about this matter, otherwise...
