Chapter 246 Did Senior Brother really never suspect her?

Miss?

Mei Liangyu's question left Zhang Xiangyun stunned, his mind buzzing, and even the pain in his body went numb.

Just as Song Yubai was about to rush over, he heard the sound of swords being drawn and was stopped in the blink of an eye by a gleaming longsword.

"What are you going to do?" Kong Yiyi's voice came from behind Song Yubai. "Get beaten up?"

Song Yubai's expression was not good. He turned to look at Nian Qiuyan, only to find that Nian Qiuyan was also staring at the dark alley.

He stood in the shadows against the wall, the dim light of the streetlamp blurring his face, making it impossible for Song Yubai to discern Nian Qiuyan's expression.

In the dark alley, Zhang Xiangyun tried to get up, but Mei Liangyu stomped his foot on the ground and looked down at him, saying, "Speak."

Zhang Xiangyun could no longer hold it in and coughed up blood, cursing, "Mei Liangyu, what's wrong with you! How would I know? What young lady, which family's young lady, whoever told you, just go ask them!"

He thought to himself that it was impossible; Mei Liangyu could never know of Qingkui's existence.

Mei Liangyu stared intently at her: "Coincidentally, I do know that she is a young lady from the Nangong family."

What?

Zhang Xiangyun's pupils contracted, and he froze completely.

Why would Qin Chongxue say these things to Mei Liangyu for no reason? Has he gone mad?!

Zhang Xiangyun racked his brains but couldn't figure out how Mei Liangyu had guessed it.

Seeing Zhang Xiangyun's shocked expression, Mei Liangyu realized he had guessed correctly. He stomped on Zhang Xiangyun's ribs, crushing them and causing him to cough up blood again.

"you……"

"It's your turn to answer my question." Mei Liangyu's voice was low and cold, resounding in Zhang Xiangyun's ear with an oppressive force. "Tell me where she is, and I might consider letting you live a couple more days."

"I don't..." Zhang Xiangyun began, but it was clearly not the answer Mei Liangyu wanted.

The shockwave spread from the ground as he stomped on Zhang Xiangyun's hand, and Zhang Xiangyun's screams echoed through the dark alley, chilling everyone who heard them.

Song Yubai stood outside anxiously, glaring at the long sword blocking his path, and said, "Is this how you talk?"

Kong Yiyi remained unyielding: "Either you go over there and let him beat you up, or you get beaten up by me before you go over there."

Song Yubai coldly called out, "Nian Qiuyan!"

Kong Yiyi: "Calling him won't do any good."

Nian Qiuyan turned her head to look at her and said gently, "Calling me won't do any good."

Actually, he didn't know what Mei Liangyu had learned from her fight with Qin Chongxue, and he was even worried for himself before meeting Mei Liangyu.

Because he discovered that the information from last night could not be divined at all.

The divination result was blank.

Zhang Xiangyun was trembling all over. He sensed the killing intent emanating from Mei Liangyu, and the sense of crisis was stimulating his will to survive. He cried out, his voice slurred with blood, "Nangong..."

Mei Liangyu stopped gathering his strength, his body crackling with lightning. One end of the lightning bolt was a snake's head with its mouth open, as if the lightning snake mixed with the Ghost Daoist's life-giving talisman would descend upon him as long as Zhang Xiangyun did not give him the answer he wanted.

“This time, you’d better think carefully before you answer,” Mei Liangyu said, staring at him. “You’ve mobilized Xuan Kui’s thirteenth-realm sorcerers to kill me in Taiyi. It seems your young lady hates me so much that she can’t wait to kill me.”

"The only young lady in the Nangong family... isn't it... Nangong Sui?" Zhang Xiangyun said incoherently, his brain racing as he considered how to escape, driven by his survival instinct.

Since it was Mei Liangyu who guessed the Nangong family, he insisted that it was Nangong Sui.

Upon hearing the name Nangong Sui, Mei Liangyu's already dark eyes seemed to darken even further.

Zhang Xiangyun was still unaware of the true meaning behind Mei Liangyu's question.

He inquired about the noble young lady Qin Chongxue had mentioned, the one who had given him the Washing Soldiers Map, not about Xuan Kui, but about what had happened in the Yan Kingdom back then.

At this moment, Yu Sui, who was in the northern part of the city, also witnessed the confrontation between Mei Liangyu and Zhang Xiangyun through the Five Elements Light Core.

She was also a little confused as to how Mei Liangyu could be so sure that the young lady Qin Chongxue was referring to was a member of the Nangong family, based solely on Qin Chongxue's address.

If Mei Liangyu is indeed a member of the Nangong family, then did Senior Brother never suspect her?

Zhang Xiangyun insisted that the young lady Qin Chongxue mentioned was Yu Sui, but by a twist of fate, he was actually testing Mei Liangyu's heart on Yu Sui's behalf.

The people around him were making a ruckus, discussing the wanted instructor, but Yu Sui stood in a corner, unusually quiet.

Despite the excruciating pain, Zhang Xiangyun took a deep breath and glared fiercely at Mei Liangyu: "There's only one young lady in the Nangong family, and that's your junior sister, Nangong Sui! Even if you insist on telling me, I only know this one young lady! Besides, do you really think Nangong Sui is as innocent and harmless as she seems on the surface?"

"Mei Liangyu, I think you've been completely fooled by Nangong Sui, just like Gu Gan!"

He struggled to raise his other hand and said, "My injuries were all inflicted by Nangong Sui! I didn't even see how she made her move. Is this something a first-level sorcerer could do? I think the claim of being a sorcerer for eighteen years is just a facade. Nangong Sui is hiding something much deeper. Instead of threatening me here, you should go ask your good junior sister first!"

Zhang Xiangyun practically roared as he finished speaking: "Nangong Sui managed to hide for eighteen years. What kind of cunning person do you think could do that?!"

He'd been holding it in for far too long, and he'd been wanting to find someone to spread rumors about Nangong Sui.

He had kept quiet because of Yu Sui's threats, but now that he was facing a life-or-death situation, he had to find a way to get away from Mei Liangyu. So he had no scruples and even mixed truth with falsehood, trying to confuse Mei Liangyu.

Because of his intense shouting, which aggravated his wounds, Zhang Xiangyun tilted his head back in pain, his face pale and covered in sweat. But he still held up his hand and continued, holding his breath, "I underestimated her before, thinking it was a joke that she would take charge of Taiyi Xuankui's business. But now the injuries on my body are the result of her thinking that I am incompetent!"

"Don't think that just because she plays the obedient junior sister in front of you, you are that important to her. Nangong Sui is two-faced. If you want to know about the Nangong family's young lady who is related to Xuan Kui, I can only tell you that it is Nangong Sui!"

Yu Sui listened to Zhang Xiangyun's words and smiled coldly to herself.

Mei Liangyu glanced at Zhang Xiangyun's raised hand; the scar left by the sharp weapon piercing his palm was terrifying and ugly, yet real.

He also sensed that Zhang Xiangyun's strength had been severely damaged not long ago and had not fully recovered; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so easily kicked down and pinned to the ground without any chance to fight back.

But so what?

Mei Liangyu stared directly into Zhang Xiangyun's bloodshot eyes and said coldly, "You were injured like this by her because you are not as skilled as her."

What?

Zhang Xiangyun looked at him in disbelief.

Has Mei Liangyu gone mad too?

No, or maybe he's deaf, which is why he didn't hear what he just said.

How can you still speak up for Nangong Sui even now!

Did he not have even the slightest doubt in his heart?

"Have you become this stupid?" Zhang Xiangyun couldn't help but scold. "It's been several months since she arrived in Taiyi. You've seen each other every day. She even went against you repeatedly for Gu Gan's sake. Didn't you notice anything? Mei Liangyu, I didn't expect you to be someone who can be bewitched by beauty."

His last words were full of sarcasm and even a hint of provocation.

They probably wanted to use reverse psychology.

Unfortunately, Mei Liangyu wasn't buying it.

"Are you sure it's her?" Mei Liangyu asked in a low voice.

Zhang Xiangyun tilted his head back and said, "Yes!"

Mei Liangyu suddenly smiled, the lightning and the light from the night lamps illuminating his face, making him look like a ghost.

He lowered his head slightly, his dark eyes reflecting Zhang Xiangyun's desperate struggle, a mocking glint about to spill from them.

In Zhang Xiangyun's eyes, Mei Liangyu still maintained a condescending attitude, showing no doubt about Nangong Sui in his eyes, but rather mocking him.

This gave Zhang Xiangyun a bad feeling.

"You act like you know Nangong Sui better than I do, which makes me feel a little disgusted." As soon as Mei Liangyu finished speaking, the air pressure pressed down again, squeezing Zhang Xiangyun's internal organs, causing him to spit out another mouthful of blood and become barely alive.

"You dare to judge her hypocrisy and malice with your shallow understanding?"

Mei Liangyu stretched out his hand to Zhang Xiangyun, lightning crackling at his fingertips: "The young lady of the Nangong family is Nangong Sui. She could be the one who is related to Xuan Kui, but the young lady of the Nangong family who works for Xuan Kui and wants to kill me cannot be her."

Zhang Xiangyun's pupils contracted. He couldn't tell whether Mei Liangyu truly liked Nangong Sui or whether he and Nangong Sui were in cahoots.

However, he had no time to think further before his pupils were filled with lightning; Mei Liangyu truly intended to kill him.

Since Zhang Xiangyun refuses to speak and knows Yu Sui's true colors, we cannot keep him.

The lightning bolts flashed like snakes, locking onto the trajectory of Zhang Xiangyun's five elements. Just as it was about to twist into a rune to complete the life-giving talisman, drawing out Zhang Xiangyun's life force and turning him into a withered human skin, a figure jumped out of a broken window and blocked the two of them.

The young man, dressed in bright green, skillfully manipulated a black and gold staff. Golden runes on the staff flew out and transformed into chains that entangled the serpentine lightning wire, preventing it from moving forward.

Mei Liangyu reacted quickly, applying pressure again. Lightning burst forth, and both of them ignited their protective auras. The two incredibly powerful forces clashed, and a sharp, roaring sound of air waves echoed through the dark alley.

Despite the blinding light, the boy's image was clearly reflected in Mei Liangyu's dark golden eyes.

The moment Razer broke free of his chains and moved forward, Zou Yexi flicked his long staff backward, hooking the unconscious Zhang Xiangyun and throwing him behind the wall of the dark alley.

Razer aimed directly at Zou Yexi's pupils, causing him a momentary sting. His left hand, which was holding the stick, had already changed its stance and formed a hand seal. The Seven Stars Formation instantly appeared in front of him, cutting off Razer's attack.

Yin-Yang School's Heavenly Secrets Technique, Seven Star Shield.

The two forces clashed and intertwined, with both offense and defense at their extremes, causing them to cancel each other out. After the dazzling light faded, Zou Yexi had already disappeared into the dark alley.

Mei Liangyu used his wind-riding technique to leap over the wall of the dark alley, saw a fleeting figure around the corner, and chased after it expressionlessly.

Zou Yexi, who was carrying Zhang Xiangyun at incredible speed through the dark alleys, also noticed Mei Liangyu catching up. He couldn't help but mutter to the person on the other end of the Listening Wind Ruler, "Miss, this man is too stubborn. He won't let go. Should I turn around and..."

Halfway through the conversation, I suddenly remembered that this person's name was Mei Liangyu.

A familiar name.

A face that looks somewhat familiar.

Zou Yexi couldn't help but think for a while.

The wind-listening ruler that flew out from his clothes gleamed, and a girl's cold voice came from inside: "Run."

This means you can't turn back.

Zou Yexi had no choice but to obediently use the Heavenly Secret Technique to swallow shadows and merge into the darkness, leading Zhang Xiangyun on a crazy run around the city.
