Chapter 211 I am the Princess of the Qingyang Nangong Prince's Mansion
After Yu Sui and the others returned to the academy, they were caught by the dormitory instructors and had points deducted from their records.
The instructors didn't question you too much. Whether you went to fight or kill in the outer city, as long as it was within the rules, the instructors wouldn't interfere.
Once the disciples leave the academy, even if they kill an instructor in the outer city, the academy will only deduct points.
The incident occurred in the outer city, and Taiyi Academy did nothing about it.
Because of the incident involving the Wind-Listening Ruler, Zhang Xiangyun was taken to the Communications Institute by the instructor. After the points deduction was completed, Gu Gan told Yu Sui to go back and rest well, and then left with Xun Zhiya.
Gu Gan's method of protecting Yu Sui was to keep her away from any dangerous incidents.
It seems that no matter how Yu Sui grows up, in Gu Gan's eyes, she will always be the Ping Shu person who needs to be protected by him.
Knowing they were investigating people close to Wei Ren, Yu Sui turned and calmly told Xue Mushi what had happened that night.
She didn't ask Xue Mushi to take action tonight, firstly because there wasn't enough time, and secondly because Xuan Kui involved the Saints. In the end, the enemy she would have to face in order to destroy Xuan Kui was actually the Saints of Taiyi.
Xue Mushi and she should not act together, lest one of them accidentally expose themselves and implicate the other.
After Yu Sui finished explaining, Xue Mushi replied, "Don't worry, they won't be able to find me."
Yu Sui raised an eyebrow slightly after reading it.
Xue Mushi is indeed quite capable; he can be useful in crucial moments.
Yu Sui saw the figure of the Legalist Saint Wan Guiyue from Mei Liangyu's side. After Wan Guiyue left, her Five Elements Light Core also left with the Saint. She saw her pass by the deserted island and search in the sea.
It seems that Wan Guiyue, the Legalist sage, was also one of those who helped Xuan Kui.
However, this Legalist saint rarely makes public appearances, and there is very little information about her, but her senior brother seems to be quite familiar with Wan Guiyue.
Ou Rushuang, the sage of the Agricultural School; Wan Guiyue, the sage of the Legalist School; who will come next?
Yu Sui stood under the peach tree in front of the dormitory gate. She was all alone in this secluded corner. It was already late at night, the dormitory inspection was over, and the students could come out again.
Right now, they're all talking about the Wind Listening Ruler. Sometimes they're mocking Zhang Xiangyun, and other times they're wondering if Zhang Xiangyun offended someone from the Communications Institute.
Yu Sui stood alone in a dimly lit corner, deep in thought.
The sages of Taiyi possess the power of the Earth's core. Within the Taiyi realm, their power is doubled, and they cannot be seriously injured or killed.
In other words, she couldn't kill Ou Rushuang and Wan Guiyue in Taiyi.
The saints in Taiyi are practically immortal; neither she nor any other saint can kill them.
Even if Ou Rushuang's involvement with Xuan Kui is exposed, so what? Saints cannot punish each other.
Suddenly, Yu Sui recalled the scene of her master fighting with Wu Huaiwei on Yue Mountain. She rolled her eyes and looked up in the direction of the Yin Yang School.
It cannot be killed, but there must be other ways.
She turned and walked into the night, heading towards the direction of the Yin-Yang School's Moon Mountain.
Moon Mountain is Wu Huaiwei's residence. The mountain is surrounded by a barrier formation, and one cannot enter without the owner's permission or without knowing how to break the formation.
The academy's saints and some students of the Yin-Yang School are allowed to enter.
Ever since the last time Saint Changgen caused trouble at Moon Mountain, Wu Huaiwei modified the barrier of Moon Mountain to specifically target the Ghost Dao family.
Yu Sui couldn't go in right now, so he could only stand at the foot of the mountain and look up at the bright pavilions in front of him.
She didn't have Wu Huaiwei's trusted friend, so rashly posting a message would expose herself.
Yu Sui took out the Wind Listening Ruler, intending to ask Xing Chun for help, when she sensed someone approaching. After hearing the voice, she turned around and saw a tall figure walking out from the rocky path.
The young man was dressed in a crescent-colored white robe, his hair was tied up with a jade crown, and he carried a glass lamp in his hand. The light was warm and yellow, the lamp body was clear, and the tassels hanging from the end swayed gently with his steps.
Like the cool moonlight emerging from the darkness of night, it brings with it a gentle spring breeze.
Pu Heng, a first-class disciple of the Yin-Yang School.
Pu Heng saw Yu Sui standing in front of the entrance to Moon Mountain and asked gently, "Are you going to see Dean Wu?"
Yu Sui nodded and said timidly, "I have something I want to talk to Dean Wu about, but I don't know how to get in."
Pu Heng smiled reassuringly at her and walked forward, saying, "Which sect are you from? I can't just bring people into Moon Mountain. I'll inform Dean Wu when I see her later."
Her gaze followed Pu Heng's movements, and she lowered her head, saying, "I am a disciple of the Ghost Daoist School, Nangong Sui."
Pu Heng continued walking forward without stopping, easily passing through the barrier and entering the mountain path filled with stone lanterns. He replied to Yu Sui, "I've remembered it."
Yu Sui looked up again, watching Pu Heng's figure disappear from sight.
Xing Chun had previously mentioned that attending Wu Huaiwei's lectures at the Yin Yang School required scrambling for a spot, as there were only twenty available.
These twenty spots are open to all disciples of the Yin-Yang School, with no restrictions on student level. Even if you've just entered the Taiyi School, as long as you're strong enough, you can still secure a seat.
These twenty students were carefully selected by Wu Huaiwei; they have unlimited potential and are students she is familiar with.
She has won the hearts of several of them and is carefully nurturing them.
Pu Heng was one of the students carefully cultivated by Wu Huaiwei.
When Yu Sui attended classes at the Yin Yang School, he occasionally heard this name from other people and had also seen it from afar.
She heard that Pu Heng was from the Dan Kingdom, from a poor family, and a commoner, but he was exceptionally talented. He was introduced to Taiyi Academy by a traveling instructor and began a new life there.
When the disciples of the Yin-Yang School mentioned Pu Heng, they all said that Senior Brother Pu Heng was a friendly and kind-hearted person who answered their questions carefully.
It's inevitable that students in the academy will form cliques. People from different countries belong to one circle, and disciples of different levels form another. Family background and talent are the criteria for students to divide into factions.
Pu Heng of the Yin-Yang School represents the circle of students from commoner backgrounds, and this circle is centered around Pu Heng.
Yu Sui didn't wait long at the entrance of Yue Mountain before she saw Pu Heng return.
The glass lamp the young man was carrying had vanished. He looked at Yu Sui with a smile in his eyes and said, "Go in, Dean Wu is waiting for you."
Yu Sui nodded in acknowledgment and strode forward. This time, there was no obstruction, and she easily entered the barrier, brushing past Pu Heng as she headed up the mountain.
Last time, when Yu Sui was teleported to Moon Mountain, he only reached the halfway point. The jacaranda trees that had been broken by the shockwave had all recovered, and there was no trace of the battle from last time.
Yu Sui followed a path to its end and arrived at a brightly lit pavilion. Floating in the wetland grass were insects that looked like fireflies, but emitted a purple glow, or more like floating star particles.
Wearing a purple gauze dress, Wu Huaiwei stood on the pavilion. Her delicate hand, which was resting on the railing, lightly tapped, and the golden star bell on her wrist jingled. The sound made Yu Sui on the ground look up.
Yu Sui bowed to the other party and said, "Greetings, Dean Wu."
The two were about two floors apart. Wu Huaiwei squinted at the girl below and said slowly, "You lied to the instructor to come here. You said you were in a hurry, but you made me wait for more than an hour."
Yu Sui honestly replied, "Some unexpected things happened along the way, which delayed my arrival to see you."
Wu Huaiwei didn't press her about what had been delayed, but instead asked, "You told Instructor Xia you brought me something, what did you bring?"
Yu Sui looked up at Wu Huaiwei, who was standing behind the fence. Her proper posture made her look like a cat sitting down, too obedient.
“It’s my true heart,” Yu Sui replied earnestly. “I bring you a sincere desire to learn Yin-Yang techniques from you.”
Wu Huaiwei: "..."
She looked away, still finding it amusing, then pursed her lips and lowered her head. When she turned back to look at Yu Sui, she wore a mysterious expression: "Oh? So you've finally figured it out?"
“More than a month ago, you asked me if I wanted to become your disciple.” Yu Sui reminded her, “Perhaps Master dislikes the Yin-Yang School, but I don’t. However, I can’t refuse Master’s request on the spot.”
Wu Huaiwei thought of Saint Changgen and cursed the old man in her heart for ruining her plans.
Wu Huaiwei asked, "Now you dare to disrespect your master?"
"I wouldn't dare," Yu Sui said. "But isn't Master away recently?"
She winked as she said this, a gesture that made the previously well-behaved girl appear cunning.
Wu Huaiwei looked at her, but found her increasingly pleasing to the eye.
"In the past month or so, Senior Brother Xing Chun has taught me a lot about Yin-Yang philosophy." Yu Sui had just started speaking when Wu Huaiwei interrupted her, "What can he teach you?"
Yu Sui: "He taught me how to read the Lingxian Diagram, identify Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, classify the stars and seas, and perform simple Yin-Yang incantations."
Wu Huaiwei snorted: "They're all just basic stuff."
Yu Sui nodded and said, "So I want to learn the more powerful Yin-Yang School's Nine Schools of Arts, so I'm coming to you. If what you said before still stands, then I'm willing to learn with you."
“What I say goes.” Wu Huaiwei was in a good mood and said with a smile, “Since you are willing, then call me Master, and I will accept you as my disciple and pass on all my knowledge to you.”
Yu Sui shook her head.
Wu Huaiwei's smile faded: "What do you mean by shaking your head?"
“I have some conditions,” Yu Sui said. “I wonder if you can accept them.”
"Conditions?" Wu Huaiwei said impatiently, "Tell me them."
Yu Sui held up one finger and said, "First, I will not call you Master."
Wu Huaiwei stared at her expressionlessly.
“If I had learned the Nine Schools of Yin-Yang from you, my master would have found out sooner or later. I don’t want my master to be angry with you. We are just teacher and student. It is I who have been asking you about the Nine Schools of Yin-Yang, not you who voluntarily taught me.”
Wu Huaiwei sneered inwardly upon hearing this.
Yu Sui's eyes were bright as she looked straight at Wu Huaiwei, unafraid of her suddenly cold face, and continued, "I am a princess of the Qingyang Nangong Prince's Mansion. My father is a prince of Qingyang and the head of the Nangong family."
When she said those words, Wu Huaiwei's gaze deepened, her impatience dissipated, and she became thoughtful.
Yu Sui said in a clear voice, "You must know my father. The situation in the six kingdoms is changing rapidly, and the Nangong family is everywhere. My father's ambition is to conquer the entire six kingdoms. If I were to call you Master, you would be drawn into it as well. The world is vast and the six kingdoms are in turmoil. It's not as carefree and happy as Taiyi."
Wu Huaiwei had heard others' opinions of Yu Sui, but what she saw before her eyes was completely different from what she had heard.
The first person who said Yu Sui was mediocre was already dead in Wu Huaiwei's heart.
Those who said Yu Sui was foolish and naive, now died in Wu Huaiwei's heart.
She's very smart to say those things.
Wu Huaiwei wanted to take Yu Sui as her disciple because of the Nine Provinces Star Sea. Even though she knew that Yu Sui was Nangong Ming's daughter, she didn't take it to heart. This was because she did as she pleased, and it could be said that it was just a whim.
But if they really become "master and disciple", there are some things she has to consider, and she has no choice but to accept them. Even if she is a saint of Taiyi, she will be implicated.
How many of the twenty-four sages of Taiyi have been implicated?
Wu Huaiwei is able to live a carefree life now because she has not affected the interests of any party and has maintained neutrality.
She herself also disliked the constant fighting and strife among the six kingdoms.
These potential problems were anticipated by the girl below, who then laid them out in front of her.
Wu Huaiwei's indifferent face turned thoughtful. This time, she did not act recklessly on her own. After careful consideration, she nodded and said, "Call me whatever you like."
I genuinely want to teach, but how to teach is indeed a problem.
Seeing that she agreed, Yu Sui smiled and raised another finger, saying, "Secondly, our relationship should not be known to outsiders, so when there is no need for face-to-face teaching, Senior Brother Xing Chun will inform us on his behalf."
Wu Huaiwei saw through her little scheme and said with a half-smile, "So you want me to teach two people?"
However, Xing Chun is also a good student, so Wu Huaiwei generously said, "Okay."
Yu Sui smiled and bowed her head to express her gratitude. Before she could look up, Wu Huaiwei asked, "What other conditions do you have? Just say them all."
“Teaching time is mainly based on my free time.” Yu Sui rolled her eyes and thought for a moment, “Because I have too much to learn, it is sometimes difficult to find the time.”
Wu Huaiwei thought to herself, "They really spoil her, but I can't refuse. I'll just pretend I'm spoiling her."
"Can."
Yu Sui looked up and gave Wu Huaiwei a big smile: "That's all for now. I'll let you know if I think of anything else."
Wu Huaiwei said in a light tone, "Alright, you've said so much, now it's my turn to state my conditions."
