Monster hunti...
Chapter 15 If you're going to call someone "Senior Brother," then call them that properly.
Yu Sui never expected that a trip to the Ghost Dao family would yield such a result.
Although she didn't know much about the Nine Schools of Ghost Dao, she remembered that Blackbeard and Ji Meng had explained that the Ghost Dao Saint Chang Gen was in a state of "physical body disintegration, consciousness perpetuation".
That is, he died, but not completely.
She had just witnessed what "eternal consciousness" truly meant.
The implantation of another's consciousness, which is completely irresistible, is probably one of the nine types of techniques used by the Ghost Daoist school.
Sheng Fei, who was standing nearby, realized what was happening and frowned as he looked at Mei Liangyu.
Before that, Chang Gen Saint's only disciple was Mei Liangyu, which made his identity somewhat special: while other people's masters were all alive and well, his master, although one of the twenty-four saints in charge of the academy, was dead. As a result, many times, matters that required Chang Gen Saint's intervention were handled by Mei Liangyu on his behalf.
People had more or less realized what was happening, and their eyes darted back and forth between Yu Sui and Mei Liangyu.
The thirteenth-level masters from the military and strategic schools next door also rushed into the room to see what was going on, shouting as they went, "Who? Who is Nangong Sui? Let me see."
Zhang Yuxuan, who was rushing back with his pants up, called out to Mei Liangyu inside the house, "Little Mei! I'll only be gone for a little while, how come your master has already taken on a disciple? Let me see who it is. Where is your junior sister, Nangong Sui?"
Compared to those who had never met Yu Sui, those who had met her and knew she was Princess Nangong were even more surprised.
Upon returning to the Military Academy, Zhong Lishan silently activated his Wind Listening Ruler and sent Mei Liangyu a question mark: "If I remember correctly, Nangong Sui's talent was tested several times and was always low, indicating that he was an average person."
Although Zhonglishan himself didn't have much contact with Yu Sui, he had a good relationship with Su Feng, the second son of the Prince's Mansion, when he was a child, and would hear Su Feng mention Yu Sui.
Her younger sister, Zhong Lique, often mentioned the young princess of the Nangong family.
He was influenced by what he saw and heard, and was thus forced to learn some things.
Mei Liangyu wasn't too surprised when she saw the message. Yu Sui's 10% talent score already showed that she had extremely poor talent and was just an average person.
The news that Chang Gen, the Sage, had invaded the Military Strategy Academy and the Academy of Military Strategies, and had also taken on disciples, spread throughout the entire Taiyi Academy in an instant.
Blackbeard, who was waiting at the entrance of Taiyi Academy, was completely bewildered when he received the news. He subconsciously scratched his head: What does this mean? Did I misjudge her? Actually, the princess is a genius?
Blackbeard recalled his previous regret that Yu Sui was unworthy to be the heir of the Nangong family. Upon seeing the news that Yu Sui had been accepted as a disciple by the Sage Chang Gen, he couldn't help but shudder and began to reflect and repent.
Ji Meng came from the interrogation site to the Three Provinces Prison where the Legalists were imprisoning Gu Gan. He and the young man in the golden robe stood outside the old Three Provinces Prison gate. They couldn't get in, so the two of them stood in front of the gate thinking about what other options they could have.
Just as they were discussing whether to go to the Ghost Dao family to confront Mei Liangyu, they suddenly received news that the Sage Chang Gen had just accepted a disciple, which shocked both the military and military schools. This disciple was a newcomer who had just entered the academy, named Nangong Sui.
Ji Meng stared wide-eyed at the message flashing on the Wind Listening Ruler for a long time: "Huo Xiao, do you think this is just someone with the same name?"
"The surname Nangong is unique in Qingyang." Huo Xiao pointed at the Listening Wind Ruler and said, "Among the new patients who were admitted today, there is only one named Nangong Sui."
"But I remember she was a person of the Ping Shu sect, and she was also very slow-witted when she was young, learning everything slowly and having no talent whatsoever. How could she have been taken as a disciple by the Sage Chang Gen?" Ji Meng was shocked and puzzled. "Even if the Ghost Path is short of people, it shouldn't be this bad, right?"
“According to what you said, with her level of talent, even if the Ghost Dao Academy is short of people, it will not take her as a disciple.” Huo Xiao turned his head to look over. “The key point is that she became the disciple of Saint Chang Gen, which means that Mei Liangyu is no longer Saint Chang Gen’s only representative.”
Ji Meng's mind raced, and he slapped his thigh, his eyes lighting up: "I've got an idea!"
The two hurried to Baijiatang to find Yu Sui.
So many people came to see Yu Sui; the teachers and students were all curious about what the new disciple of the Sage Chang Gen looked like. Yu Sui hid behind Sheng Fei, looking timid.
This academy has many saints, and masters of the thirteenth realm are everywhere. She doesn't want to attract too much attention, that wouldn't be good.
It was rare for Sheng Fei to see Yu Sui show weakness and be needed by her, so he put on the airs and took on the responsibility of an older brother, glaring fiercely at the freshmen. His fierce appearance successfully scared away a group of people.
The masters of the thirteen realms rushed over and, upon discovering that Yu Sui was the freshman who had previously tested 10% of the talent, exchanged awkward glances before awkwardly praising him: "Not bad, not bad."
"good."
While saying "not bad," they quietly withdrew.
Mei Liangyu laughed out loud without any restraint after reading it.
Zhang Yuxuan, who had just returned, was unaware of the situation and praised Yu Sui, "Indeed, quite remarkable. No wonder Elder Chang favored him. To be chosen as Elder Chang's personal disciple, he must possess extraordinary abilities and have an incredibly deep connection with my Ghost Path. His talent is truly remarkable..."
Mei Liangyu tapped the table with his finger, seemingly casually saying, "Ten percent compatibility with talent."
Zhang Yuxuan was immediately stumped.
Yu Sui peeked out from behind Sheng Fei and looked at Mei Liangyu.
She thought of everything that Ji Meng and Huo Xiao could think of.
I guess this senior brother, who looks very smart and rebellious, also thought of it.
Mei Liangyu didn't shy away from Yu Sui's scrutiny and looked back at him.
Although the girl was hiding behind Sheng Fei, she didn't seem afraid; rather, she disliked being watched by too many people.
As for what she had that was exceptional, Mei Liangyu couldn't see it at all.
"Now that you're back, keep watching," Mei Liangyu said to Zhang Yuxuan as she stood up. "I'm leaving now."
Zhang Yuxuan pleaded, "Can't you stay a little longer? What if Elder Chang discovers some promising talent again..."
As Mei Liangyu walked out, she glanced at Yu Sui behind Sheng Fei and said, "No one is better than her."
If there's anyone better than Yu Sui, it's not that she was accepted as a disciple by a saint.
Suddenly, I have a personal junior sister.
Mei Liangyu had no objections.
Just half an hour ago, her new junior sister traveled a long way to rescue her childhood sweetheart with a treasure from the Legalist school, only to be ruthlessly suppressed by her, and her childhood sweetheart, who was about to be released without charge, was locked up again.
What a strange coincidence and holiday this is.
Master, could he have done this on purpose?
The fact that Chang Gen Sheng Zhe's disciple is no longer just him indicates that he may not necessarily be representing the Ghost Path in the upcoming three-family rulings.
This junior sister might not have thought of it, but Gu Gan's people definitely would.
Mei Liangyu rushed towards the Ghost Path Holy Hall, determined to strike first.
Yu Sui learned about the matter of the Sage Chang Gen taking on disciples from Zhang Yuxuan.
Zhang Yuxuan told Sheng Fei to watch the admissions desk, and then said to Yu Sui in a corner, "After joining a sect, you will study at your own academy on weekdays, or you can choose to audit classes at other sects to learn martial arts. Some students practice dual or even triple cultivation, but this is very rare."
"You are the personal disciple chosen by Sage Changgen, which means you are a separate master. Apart from the academy's major exams, there are other trials, but otherwise you are no different from other students. If you lose points or drop a grade, you will not have any special privileges because you are Sage Changgen's personal disciple."
That's what they say, but we don't know what it will actually be like when that time comes.
What sets Yu Sui apart from other students at Taiyi Academy is that he has a private tutor.
"Regarding Elder Chang and the instructors of our sect, you can ask your senior brother, Mei Liangyu," Zhang Yuxuan gestured, "that's the one from earlier."
Yu Sui nodded.
Zhang Yuxuan said with relief, "You can also go to the Ghost Path Holy Hall and see if you can talk to your master. I asked Xiaomei before, but he never told me."
Yu Sui blinked and asked, "What is the Ghost Path Sanctuary?"
"This is the resting place of the saints of the Ghost Dao lineage throughout the ages of Taiyi Academy," Zhang Yuxuan explained. "Only the blood relatives and direct disciples of these saints can enter, but almost all of those who could enter a few years ago are dead. Now, only Xiaomei and you can enter the Ghost Dao Holy Hall."
That is, the place where one can communicate with the Sage Changgen.
Yu Sui's eyes flickered slightly, and she quietly asked Zhang Yuxuan, "If I want to replace my senior brother and substitute for our Saint Master to participate in the Three Families Trial, is that possible?"
Zhang Yuxuan answered quickly: "Theoretically, it is possible."
After answering, he stared wide-eyed in surprise.
Yu Sui smiled and said, "Thank you, senior."
Zhang Yuxuan scratched his face awkwardly: "I didn't expect you to be so ambitious, but your senior brother isn't the kind of person who'd let you have your way."
This senior brother was clearly not someone to be trifled with, and Yu Sui didn't intend to ruin her relationship with him so soon after arriving.
Social relationships are much more difficult to manage when you're an adult than when you were a child.
Yu Sui asked Zhang Yuxuan where the Ghost Path Holy Hall was, as she wanted to go and see it, and directly talk to Saint Chang Gen about the three families' arbitration representatives.
Zhang Yuxuan thought the child was fearless and also enjoyed watching the excitement, so he agreed to take her along.
Sung Yeo, who was left behind to watch the recruitment booth for the Ghost Dao family: "?"
Did I agree?
But Zhang Yuxuan was a thirteenth-level expert of the Ghost Daoist School and a senior, so he couldn't refuse him. He could only watch with an unpleasant expression as Yu Sui waved to him and left.
Ji Meng and Huo Xiao arrived a step too late and couldn't find Yu Sui; they only saw Sheng Fei, whose face looked grim.
Upon seeing the two, Sheng Fei remembered Gu Gan's matter and couldn't help but think of Yu Sui, who had left. He hoped that the girl wouldn't go and compete with Mei Liangyu for the position of adjudicator.
The Ghost Path Sanctuary is located in the southern part of the entire Taiyi Academy, at the very back of the Ghost Path Academy.
Nestled against the mountains and beside the water, this place boasts beautiful scenery, tranquility, and elegance, with flowers and grasses blooming everywhere in spring. Because few people come here often, the road in front of the large church is covered by flowers and grasses, engulfing the path, and the vines have climbed up the high walls, covering the entire wall.
Zhang Yuxuan used his wind manipulation technique to bring Yu Sui over, which didn't take too long.
The two stopped in front of the gate of the Ghost Path Sanctuary.
The church doors were wide open, revealing high staircases and halls, with the ground in a black and white pattern, resembling a giant yin-yang symbol.
Even if the doors were wide open, Zhang Yuxuan wouldn't dare go in.
He said to Yu Sui, "Don't be fooled by how short those stone steps are..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Sui said, "I think it's very tall."
It looks like it's over thirty steps.
“It is indeed very tall,” Zhang Yuxuan sighed. “What you see when you get closer is a completely different sight from what you see here. It has a total of 9,888 steps.”
Yu Sui was stunned.
She wouldn't finish walking even if she walked until tomorrow.
Zhang Yuxuan quickly explained, "But you're fine. You're Elder Chang's personal disciple, so you only need to walk up the thirty-third step you see."
Yu Sui breathed a sigh of relief. She lifted her skirt and stepped into the sanctuary.
As Yu Sui entered the Ghost Path Holy Hall, Mei Liangyu opened the door and came out.
He stood at the door, squinting at the person jogging in from the gate.
It came faster than he expected.
Moreover, it was Zhang Yuxuan who delivered it, so Gu Gan's people indeed went directly to Baijiatang.
The green vines climbed up the walls into the sanctuary, then moved forward, taking over the ground and covering the stone steps. Yu Sui carefully avoided the green vines on the steps. When she reached the top, she looked up and saw Mei Liangyu standing at the door, as well as the green vines hanging on the eaves and windows.
Yu Sui greeted him warmly, "Senior Brother Mei."
Mei Liangyu said with a forced smile, "If you're going to call me Senior Brother, then call me properly."
Yu Sui touched his hair and then changed his address to "Senior Brother".
Mei Liangyu looked her up and down and said, "I've heard from others that you are the only person in the Nangong family who knows basic martial arts and has not studied any other martial arts."
Yu Sui nodded: "Mm!"
Mei Liangyu added, "Not very smart, learns things very slowly?"
Yu Sui asked, "Who said that?"
Mei Liangyu: "Sheng Fei".
Yu Sui: "..."
"More or less," Yu Sui sighed.
Mei Liangyu said "oh" and grabbed the door with one hand. If this junior sister knew some of the Nine Streams Techniques, he wouldn't feel burdened. But Yu Sui was just a pretty but stupid girl, which made him feel a little constrained.
"If you're coming to discuss the three families' decision with your master, you'll have to figure it out yourself."
Mei Liangyu closed the door.
He didn't use any underhanded tricks to bully the new junior sister; he just closed the door.
Yu Sui, locked out of the door: "..."
Yu Sui looked around, hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, reached out and pushed the door, but couldn't open it. She pushed the door harder, but still couldn't open it.
There was even a key hanging on the flower vines by the window next to it.
Yu Sui took the key to open the door, but still couldn't open it.
"…………"
This senior brother didn't really do anything; he just closed the door.
Then I just couldn't get in.
Yu Sui touched her nose, feeling both annoyed and amused.
