Chapter 243 He saw Nangong Ming kill someone

Xia Feichen ignored Sheng Fei's sudden outburst and took out the Listening Wind Ruler to check the list of team members.

Sheng Fei's reaction reveals the identity of the girl hiding behind him.

People gradually arrived.

Xue Jiayue came over with Qiu Cang. She looked listless and in poor spirits. She seemed a little dazed when people talked to her.

Qiu Cang was very considerate, helping her carry her things, putting on her armband, standing by her side to remind her, and explaining to those who spoke to her why Xue Jiayue was not in a good state, etc.

Sheng Fei was going over the list with Xia Feichen and discussing the details of the mission when Xue Jiayue and Qiu Cang came over and greeted them.

Xia Feichen responded, but Sheng Fei didn't even look up.

"The princess is here too." Qiu Cang smiled as he looked at Yu Sui.

Yu Sui looked up, and Xue Jiayue immediately looked away. She remembered what happened last night and felt embarrassed, not wanting to face Yu Sui.

"Just call me by my name at the college," Yu Sui said.

Qiu Cang smiled and shook his head: "I'm also from Qingyang, how can that be?"

Yu Sui sized him up: "In the academy, you should follow the academy's rules. Did you always call my third brother 'Third Prince' when you met him in the academy before?"

Qiu Cang replied solemnly, "Of course."

Yu Sui: "..."

Although Qiu Cang was handsome, his actions and words gave her a repulsive sense of mercenary shrewdness and obsequiousness.

Yu Sui glanced at Xue Jiayue; she was astonished that she could be fooled by someone like that.

Xue Jiayue finally mustered up the courage to turn around, and just as she met Shang Yu Sui's gaze, her mind went blank and she felt her whole body heat up.

Sheng Fei just scoffed. He'd seen plenty of people like Qiu Cang, and he couldn't be bothered to pay them any attention.

The Taiyi Academy's claim of equality for all is just a slogan.

Some people can do it, but others cannot.

"Oh my, this is rare! I'm in the same group as so many important people, Yun Tian, ​​I'm so scared!"

A charming female voice rang out, its teasing tone drawing everyone's attention.

A woman dressed in a peach-red dress, with exceptionally beautiful features, nestled beside a man in brocade robes, her fox-like eyes sweeping over Sheng Fei and the others with a half-smile.

You Yuntian raised his hand to cover his face and yawned, looking like he hadn't woken up properly. There were dark circles under his eyes, as if he had stayed up for a long time.

He glanced disdainfully at Sheng Fei and Xia Feichen: "What are you afraid of? Can they compare to your dear husband?"

A general's son or a prince's heir can't compare to the noble status of the Zhou Kingdom's prince.

Xia Feichen remained indifferent, as if he didn't know this person.

Sheng Fei didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but seeing Yu Sui's curious look, he endured the disgust and explained to her: "You Yuntian, the third prince of Zhou Kingdom and a second-level disciple of the Yin Yang School."

"His woman is next to him."

Sheng Fei didn't want to say a word about Dai Lan, another disciple from the farming family.

Yu Sui's eyes darted back and forth between Dai Lan and You Yuntian: "Are they married?"

Sheng Fei: "No."

Looking at the two people, Yu Sui gained a new understanding of Taiyi's openness.

Dai Lan came over, arm in arm with You Yuntian, her eyes scanning Sheng Fei from head to toe. She covered her mouth with the back of her hand and laughed, "Qingyang's third son, we meet again. You have a pretty little sister by your side today too."

Sheng Fei said expressionlessly, "This is my sister. You'd better watch your words."

"Oh my!" Dai Lan became even more interested after hearing this. "This must be Mei Liangyu's precious junior sister."

Sheng Fei didn't like hearing that, and he glared at Dai Lan fiercely: "Why bring up that bastard?"

Yu Sui blinked but didn't say anything.

She had heard many people marvel at her being a princess of the Nangong Prince's Mansion, but this was the first time she had heard someone express surprise that she was Mei Liangyu's junior sister.

Dai Lan waved her hand at Sheng Fei, staring intently at Yu Sui: "When your sister argued with Mei Liangyu at the Legalist execution ground, Mei Liangyu just turned around and left. If it were anyone else, he would have attacked them."

You Yuntian was also looking at Yu Sui, and said with a smirk, "He knows how to cherish women."

Dai Lan also laughed and said, "After all, she is my fellow student, so she is different from the junior sisters of other departments."

However, the ambiguous smile made Sheng Fei extremely displeased.

Before Sheng Fei could refute Dai Lan's ambiguous guess, a blue-clad boy carrying a wind-listening ruler walked towards him.

The boy looked very troubled, his eyes filled with helplessness as he waved the Listening Wind Ruler in his hand at Yu Sui and the others: "Excuse me, are we in the same group?"

Xia Feichen, who was taking attendance seriously, finally spoke: "The inscriptions on the Listening Wind Ruler are the same, but you..."

He looked at the boy's armband and frowned: "Why is he from the medical family again?"

Their group already has three disciples of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Oh, as long as I didn't go to the wrong place." Wan Qi, the newly arrived Class B disciple of the medical family, breathed a sigh of relief.

In response to Xia Feichen's question, You Yuntian yawned and said, "I swapped with someone else."

"Huh?" Wan Qi seemed surprised to be pointed out directly. He paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yes."

They admitted it.

Yu Sui felt that the boy in front of her had a sense of self-destruction, disregarding the lives of others and himself.

As a disciple of the Legalist school, Xia Feichen was somewhat sensitive to "rules," and frowned, saying, "How can that be? What if the instructor finds out..."

Dai Lan chuckled and said, "General Xia, you're supposed to be a disciple of the Legalist school, how come you can't tell that our group has basically swapped with other groups?"

Xia Feichen's eye twitched upon hearing this, and he looked at Sheng Fei beside him.

Sheng Fei glanced sideways at him, not looking at him: "Even if you figured it out, there's no way I can switch people back."

Yu Sui feigned ignorance: "What?"

Xia Feichen's gaze swept past the brother and sister, landing on You Yuntian and Dai Lan, the lovey-dovey couple, and he felt a pain in his eyes.

Both of them are Class B disciples. Although they are not from the same department, given Qiu Cang's presence, no two more Class B disciples will be assigned to them.

You Yuntian looked at him with an air of complete acceptance, showing no fear whatsoever.

These four people could all be said to be from different departments, which is why they were randomly grouped together, but three disciples of the medical family... is really abnormal.

After thinking it over, Xia Feichen calmly said to Wan Qi, "The three medical disciples are too obvious."

Wan Qi was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What should we do then?"

Xia Feichen said, "Change it back."

Wan Qi nodded and said, "Sure, I have no problem with that. You can go and ask him if he's willing to switch. I'm fine with anything."

Xia Feichen: "..."

You're so easygoing that's why you got swapped out, right?

Xia Feichen was still hesitating when the instructors waiting ahead turned around and urged him on. Sheng Fei led Yu Sui forward, saying, "Why change? Just leave it like this, let's go."

You Yuntian and Dai Lan followed behind. Dai Lan called to Wan Qi, "Let's go. Let our young General Xia worry about it himself. The mission is to capture Lan's corpse. What's there to worry about in terms of team member assignments?"

Xia Feichen said coldly, "I told you not to call me that."

You Yuntian laughed heartily: "Getting impatient."

Dylan affectionately took his arm and leaned closer: "I told you he couldn't stand these things. Look at him, he looks so funny."

You Yuntian reached out and pinched her cheek, and the two became affectionate again.

Xia Feichen was so angry that he quickly stepped forward, overtaking Sheng Fei and Yu Sui to walk in front.

Yu Sui glanced back and saw that Wan Qi was a few steps behind them, looking very relaxed and at ease.

Xue Jiayue and Qiu Cang walked at the back. Qiu Cang was talking to Xue Jiayue in a low voice, as if he was comforting her.

Yu Sui looked away.

It's hard to say about rebellious teenage girls.

One instructor was in charge of two groups of students, and standing at the front waiting was the military instructor, Mu Wu.

The other group has already arrived.

Yu Sui saw many familiar faces.

Situ Jin, the master of mechanical arts, was holding the Wind Listening Ruler and standing next to Li Jinshuang, who was dressed in a white dress. He seemed to be responding to the girl's question. After listening, Li Jinshuang looked up at Situ Jin and a look of realization appeared in her eyes.

Pu Heng, a first-class disciple of the Yin-Yang School, was also present.

He was dressed in a crescent-colored robe, with his usual warm demeanor, and was the first to notice Yu Sui and the others.

Pu Heng glanced at Yu Sui and the others with a smile in his eyes, bowed his head slightly as if to greet them, and then turned back to continue the conversation with the person next to him.

"Why is he here too?" Dai Lan stared at Pu Heng, feeling immediately disappointed.

You Yuntian also stared at Pu Heng without saying a word.

Li Jinshuang and Situ Jin also noticed Yu Sui and the others approaching. Situ Jin seemed to have a good relationship with Xia Feichen, and raised her hand to greet him.

Yu Sui also waved to Li Jinshuang.

Sheng Fei frowned and asked, "Are you close to her?"

Yu Sui nodded and said, "It's great."

Sheng Fei said with exasperation, "Don't you know she's Xun Zhiya's follower?"

Yu Sui explained in a good-natured manner, "Third Brother, she's not like that."

Sheng Fei thought his younger sister was blind.

Situ Jin frowned slightly when she heard the topic of the siblings' argument.

He glanced at Li Jinshuang beside him, but she seemed not to have heard anything, staring calmly ahead.

Neither sad nor angry.

The incident of Li Jinshuang changing her clothes caused quite a stir at the time, spreading throughout the entire Taiyi Academy. Situ Jin knew that there was such a person in the Bing family, but he didn't pay attention to it; he wasn't interested.

After returning from the island, he finally took it to heart and inquired about the whole story, learning about Li Jinshuang's past in Nanjing.

A different kind of emotion arose in my heart.

Especially now, Situ Jin knows that Li Jinshuang clearly heard what Sheng Fei said, but she stood there quietly, neither refuting nor getting angry.

She must have heard plenty of such things, and there have been many more even more outrageous ones.

Situ Jin gritted his teeth inwardly, feeling uncomfortable all over. He wasn't usually a spoiled young master, but now he couldn't help but want to grab someone and yell at them.

Just as Situ Jin was about to unleash a sarcastic remark on Sheng Fei, Instructor Mu Wu spoke first: "Is everyone here?"

Mu Wu's gaze was sharp as he held the Listening Ruler and compared it to the list. His imposing aura silenced everyone.

Although he noticed that someone had switched groups, he neither pointed it out nor stopped them. Instead, he tilted his head slightly and said, "Let's go when everyone's here."

Yu Sui followed the group out, and as they left, she heard someone behind her shout, "Where's Mei Liangyu? Why hasn't he come yet? We're about to leave!"

"Here he is," a deep male voice said. "I've switched groups with him. Let's go."

Yu Sui turned around but didn't see anyone.

Ghostly Sanctuary.

Zhang Yuxuan stood at the doorway, carrying a food box, his face wrinkled and his expression troubled. He paced back and forth, sighing several times, before tilting his head back and calling inside, "Xiaomei."

Unable to enter the Ghost Path Sanctuary, Zhang Yuxuan could only stand at the door and shout to Mei Liangyu: "Before Elder Chang went to the Mechanical Island, I promised him that I would take good care of you. How am I supposed to explain this to him when he comes back?"

"When your body is injured, you need to eat well even more!"

Zhang Yuxuan shouted, "Hurry up and come out. I can't leave until you've finished eating. I still have to go to the outer city to catch the orchid corpses today. The other students are still waiting for me in the teaching pavilion."

"The deans mean that everyone has to leave, even the students who were training in the secret realm have been called back. You... sigh, I'll go talk to your group's instructor. If you don't want to go, then you don't have to."

Zhang Yuxuan stared eagerly at the gate of the Ghost Path Holy Hall, waiting for Mei Liangyu to come out.

Inside, however, it was completely quiet, without a sound.

Zhang Yuxuan: "Xiaomei, are you still asleep?"

Mei Liangyu did not sleep; he stayed awake in the sanctuary all night.

The young man sat on the steps of the main hall of the sanctuary, still dressed, his head bowed as he stared at the red windmill in his hand.

The windmill blades turned slowly, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, and Mei Liangyu would occasionally turn them unconsciously.

Last night, he was sorting through his fragmented memories, and the information he pieced together was both expected and unexpected.

He is the son of the eldest princess of the Yan Kingdom.

His father was a sorcerer in the artificer's family.

He has an older sister and an older brother.

He met Prince Qingyang, Nangong Ming, at the Yan Kingdom's imperial palace.

He saw Nangong Ming kill someone.

He saw his father throw the fragments of the pagoda into the sea.

He saw what lay beneath the deep sea.

The wind made the water well in his hand spin rapidly, and the faster it spun, the more it looked like a ball of fire.

Mei Liangyu reached out to stop the water well from rotating.

Memories can be lost and regained, but what about the emotions associated with those memories?

When all those lost emotions return, how will he face Nangong Sui, the Princess of Qingyang?

Fellow students, friends, partners, and people who know secrets—this level of relationship is far from enough.

That's far from enough to stop him.

Mei Liangyu recalled Yu Sui's silent demeanor before leaving last night, and a sense of unease rose within her again, causing her to brood over the restless night.

"Xiao Mei!" Zhang Yuxuan's voice reached Mei Liangyu's ears, "Come out and get something to eat!"

Mei Liangyu put away the water well and got up to walk towards the door.

If they don't get out soon, Zhang Yuxuan outside will be so anxious that he'll start trying to find a way to fight against the barrier of the Ghost Path Holy Hall.

Zhang Yuxuan was so moved that he almost cried when Mei Liangyu finally opened the door and came out. He quickly stuffed the food box into Mei Liangyu's arms and said, "You've finally come out! You've lost so much weight!"

Mei Liangyu caught the food box, speechless at his exaggerated remarks.

"You tested positive for orchid poisoning last night?" Zhang Yuxuan asked worriedly. "I found out about this from Shi Yuezhen, but she was reluctant to tell me at first."

"It's nothing," Mei Liangyu finally spoke. "The test last night was inaccurate. It won't be like that if we test again today."

Zhang Yuxuan rubbed his hands together: "Are you really alright?"

Mei Liangyu: "Really not."

"Then what are you doing cooped up inside?" Zhang Yuxuan looked him up and down. "Is something bothering you? Tell me, and I'll help you figure it out."

Mei Liangyu couldn't help but chuckle: "I wish you could solve it."

Zhang Yuxuan sighed, "How would you know if you don't tell me?"

"Is it about arguing with Nangong Sui?" Zhang Yuxuan sighed. "The Legalist ruling has been over for quite some time now. Why are you two making such a fuss? As her senior brother, you should be more accommodating to her."

Mei Liangyu gently ground his teeth.

There was no argument originally.

Now I feel that it would be better if Yu Sui had a big argument with him.

“How about I go find her…” Zhang Yuxuan was interrupted by Mei Liangyu before he could finish speaking: “It’s none of her business, don’t bother her.”

Zhang Yuxuan: "Then you eat. Remember to take good care of your injuries. I'm going to the teaching pavilion. If you don't want to go this time, that's fine."

He patted Mei Liangyu on the shoulder: "I'll carry it for you, if we don't want to go, we don't have to go."

“Who said I’m not going?” Mei Liangyu said calmly. “I’ll go after I finish eating.”
