Chapter 1495: Aura of an ancient beast

It was unknown whether or not Eastern Lai Li noticed as she stood up and said with a smile, “No matter what you say, you did save us.”

“No, the truth is that she saved you all.” Xuan Qiu He pointed at Sima You Yue.

“Hmm?” Eastern Lai Li looked at them questioningly.

“You Yue was the one who told us that you were ambushed here. Otherwise, we would probably still be resting where we were.” Xuan Qiu He said.

Eastern Lai Li looked at Sima You Yue with a gaze that was still confused and a little disdainful, but she covered it up very well.

“Thank you.” She smiled at You YUe. However, the smile did not reach her eyes.

Sima You Yue was a very sensitive person, so how could it have gone unnoticed. However, this person was a high-up lady after all. She was not a negligent person and was able to pretend on the surface, which was hard to come by after all.

“Young Miss Eastern Lai is too courteous.” Sima You Yue didn’t call her Young Miss Li. Her ‘Li’ sounded the same as her own younger sister, Ximen Li, but she was not as cute as her younger sister.

“I wonder, Young Miss You Yue, how did you know that we were in danger here?” Eastern Lai Li asked.

“My bees told me.” Sima You Yue waved her hand and a few scarlet bees flew down from the tree tops. They landed on her hand and shoulders.

“Scarlet bees?” Eastern Lai Li immediately recognised the scarlet bees. It was no wonder she was a knowledgeable Young Miss of the secret clan.

“Young Miss Eastern Lai recognises them as well!” Sima You Yue petted one of them, then with a light wave, it flew away again.

“Yes, my clan has two boxes of them as well. However, it is not as powerful as yours. They can even scout for information.” Eastern Lai Li had a better impression of Sima You Yue.

The average scarlet bee’s queen bee did not birth many, and the lifespan of a scarlet bee was not long. That was why their clan had them, but their numbers were few. At the same time, they used them to produce scarlet honey for the clansmen to use.

Her scarlet bees were actually able to scout for information and had a good relationship with her. This was something she didn’t see in her own clan.

However, there were just the few of them and they were not as useful. They were able to rescue them this time purely because of coincidence.

“Young Miss Li, how did you end up fighting?” Xuan Qiu Zhi asked. “Northern Du Hao is so arrogant, but he wouldn’t waste his energy even before entering the ancient mines.”

“I was the one who started it.” Eastern Lai Li said.

“Why?”

“No reason.” Eastern Lai Li smiled, not intending to disclose the reason.

“It’s because Northern Du Hao kept spewing slander against Young Master He, so Young Miss couldn’t stand it and acted.” A servant girl by Eastern Lai Li, Shui’er, said.

“Shui’er!” Eastern Lai Li chided her, interrupting her before she could continue. “It was because I was too rash, and ended up dragging my clansmen into the fight. He, our Eastern Lai clan owes you again.”

“What do you mean you owe me, it was a very slight effort on our part.” Xuan Qiu He said, “Alright, you should be tired from what happened just now. Rest, rest. We will hurry along again.”
