Sima Tai looked at Sima Youyue's expression with satisfaction, and said very seriously: "That's natural, I always distinguish between rewards and punishments."
"Then what are you talking about rewarding first?" Sima Youyue said.
"Have you ever heard that our Sima family has a general election every few years?" Sima Tai asked.
Sima Youyue nodded. At that time in Dongchen Kingdom, Sima Lie said that Sima's family had a major event recently, and those people would not go to them so early, but they still came not long after.
"What happened to the general election? What does this have to do with rewarding me?" Sima Youyue was puzzled.
"Three years ago, it was time for the general election, but because I was injured and unconscious, they couldn't find the seal, so the next step has not been taken after the general election." Sima Tai said.
"What's next?"
"Go to the ancestral land and look for opportunities." Sima Tai said this, with an unconcealable loss and worry on his face.
"What does this have to do with me?" Sima Youyue said, "We missed the general election."
"This is my reward for you." Sima Tai was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "You and your four elder brothers can all enter the ancestral land with them this time. Especially you, who were not related by blood before. If you can’t go in, I will make an exception and let you in.”
"Your family has existed for so many years, and those chances are probably gone." Sima Youyue whispered, but no matter how soft the voice was, it couldn't escape Lingzun's ears.
Sima Tai laughed and said, "My Sima family's ancestral land can be evacuated so easily! You don't have to worry about that."
"Then why are you worried?" Sima Youyue asked, "Isn't it because of this?"
Sima Tai sighed, and shook his head long and hard: "I'm not worried about this, but that the ancestral land has not passed on anything for a long time."
"The inheritance is broken?" Sima Youyue was shocked, this is related to the lifeblood of a power!
"You can put it this way." Sima Tai sighed and said, "My Sima family is not as numerous as other first-class forces, but we have been among them for thousands of years, relying on our inheritance."
"That's why the current Sima family is declining day by day, and that's why it has become the target of others." Sima Youyue understood.
Sima Tai looked at Sima Youyue with satisfaction, she was indeed quite smart, many members of the family didn't realize this, she understood the situation Sima's family was facing shortly after she arrived.
"The older generation is alright, not too weak, but the younger generation is not very prominent except for You Lin and the others." Sima Tai was worried. If things go on like this, the Sima family will be in danger in a few years. carry on.
"Can't you directly pass on the inheritance to your descendants after you get it?" Sima Youyue asked.
"Many of those inheritances benefited directly, such as improving the cultivation level, etc., and few people obtained spiritual skills. "Flame Slash" was passed down from the ancestors after obtaining it from the clan." Sima Tai said, "Unfortunately, many inheritances are not I don’t know the reason, they are all broken. I think Sima was also severely injured hundreds of years ago.”
"Why do I still feel that this is a sweet pastry that can't be seen or touched?" Sima Youyue said, "Since no one has received much inheritance for so long, it's useless for me to go in, not to mention that I'm not the blood of the Sima family."
"Sure enough, he is a smart little guy." Sima Tai looked at Sima Youyue with a smile, "Many inheritances need to have the blood of the Sima family to obtain, but some don't. You don't want to see what you can get ? Maybe you can get some benefits."
Sima Youyue rubbed her chin, touched the tip of her nose with her index finger, thought for a while and said, "Well, I've always been a good character, maybe I'll get a great opportunity!"
Sima Tai was speechless, this guy is really narcissistic!
"Okay, now we should talk about punishment?"
When Sima Youyue heard this, she turned her face down and said, "How to punish?"
"It's actually very simple." Sima Tai smiled treacherously.
Seeing his smile, Sima Youyue felt a chill run down her spine, feeling that she was being followed by an old fox.
Sure enough, after coming out of the hall, Sima Youyue looked bitter, turned her head and stared at the door of the hall sadly, and left with a sigh.
In the hall, Sima Tai touched his still red and swollen face, and smiled: "No one has ever slapped me in the face, do you think these two slaps are so easy to slap?"
If Sima Youyue heard his words, she would have to vomit blood, obviously she wasn't the one who hit him, Sima Youlin was fine, but she was squeezed.
Back in the yard, Sima Lie and the others were waiting for her, saw her come out with a sad face, and asked, "Patriarch, did you make things difficult for you?"
Sima Youyue nodded, shook her head, and sighed.
"Fifth brother, isn't the Patriarch trying to drive you out? If so, we will leave together!" Sima You Le said.
"No." Sima Youyue said, "He just squeezed me hard."
"How did he oppress you?" Sima Lie was a little curious. He used to think that Sima Tai was a little fox, but now he must be an old fox.
"He asked me to improve the overall strength of the younger generation." Sima Youyue said, "That old fox, don't let me catch him, or... hum!"
"Ah? Isn't this embarrassing you?" Sima Youle was anxious.
Sima frowned quietly, and said: "You saved his life, but still can't get enough of those two slaps?"
"He said that we should enter the clan land with the disciples who were elected three years ago." Sima Youyue said, "He also said, if I'm willing to use this reward to offset the punishment, that's fine too."
"Then why didn't you offset it?" Sima You Le looked at her with a stupid look on her face.
"It is said that this clan land is only opened once every ten years. The opportunity is rare. You may get some chance when you enter it! How can you offset it by inheriting it!" Sima Youyue said, "Anyway, I don't need those pills or anything. To produce medicinal materials, at most it is to produce some elixir, refine a elixir, and tame some spirit beasts. And I can also get benefits from domesticating spirit beasts!"
Sima Youran and others understood that she was not dissatisfied with Sima Tai's punishment of her, but just unhappy that this was passively accepted.
"Hey, you wait until they tell you to go to the clan land together, I'm going to get some food to comfort my hurt heart. Oh, it's obvious that I saved him, it's unreasonable!" Sima Youyue ran to the kitchen to get food mournfully. went.
Seeing her like this, the four brothers Sima Youming couldn't help laughing. Ever since she was beaten at the age of fifteen and her temperament changed drastically, they have never seen her deflated!
"The Clan Land is a good place. You may find some opportunities when you go in. In the past, some people went in from the Spirit King and came out from the Spirit Sect. There were also people who learned the peerless spiritual skills and came out." Sima Lie said, "You should take advantage of this opportunity. , This is what Youyue won for you."
"We will!" The four nodded.
At this time, the sound of chopping meat came from the kitchen, interspersed with the voice of someone gnashing their teeth: "Let's eat fox meatballs for lunch today, I'll chop chop chop..."
