Chapter 29 But she will live in my heart

Seeing that Princess Shangyang had been taken away, Yu Sui continued to eat with her head down.

The senses transmitted back by the strange fire told her that there were three other people in the room next door where food was stored.

They must have come to the dining hall to steal food, and they haven't alerted anyone there yet, so they must have some skill or ability.

Xue Mushi next door was focused on eating. He had finished by now, leaving not a single grain of rice in his bowl. He ate it all before leaving.

Wei Ren had already stopped eating and was sitting opposite Xue Mushi watching him eat. When he finally put down his bowl and chopsticks, he asked, "Your Xue family is considered a large family in Taiyuan. Surely you wouldn't be short of money to support you and leave you without food, would you?"

Xue Mushi shook his head, stood up, and said goodbye.

After Yu Sui finished eating and drinking, she went to pay the bill and left with Li Jinshuang. They hadn't gone far from the dining hall when she caught sight of three people using wind manipulation to leave the dining hall behind them. She recognized them as Mei Liangyu, who was carrying a food box, and couldn't help but smile.

Mei Liangyu and his two companions went to have dinner at the entrance of the Ghost Path Holy Hall.

When Zhong Lishan learned that the two of them had frozen him just now because they were afraid he would hit Nangong Sui, he was even more puzzled: "Why would I hit her?"

"According to Shang Yang, Nangong Sui doesn't have a good relationship with your sister, does he?" Xing Chun said while eating.

"It's not as Princess Shangyang said. My family and the Nangong family do have a bad relationship, but the two girls are quite close in private. It's just that because of the conflict between the two families, they don't show their closeness in public."

Zhong Lishan explained, "I also have a good relationship with the second son of the Nangong family. He didn't come to Taiyi, but stayed at the Bingjia Chongtai in Qingyang. I even asked him to keep an eye on my sister for me."

Xing Chun suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. Then it wasn't what Shang Yang said. Nangong Sui didn't abandon your sister as a friend either."

Zhong Lishan shook his head and smiled helplessly, "Back when we were still in the National Academy, my sister would always talk about Nangong Sui, but she would only tell me. Later, the relationship between the two families deteriorated, and everyone said that Nangong Sui stopped playing with her. I was afraid that she would be sad, but in the end, the two of them still got along very well in private."

Xing Chun shook his head and sighed: "You people, you even have to keep your friendships a secret."

Zhong Lishan sighed, "Yes."

Mei Liangyu focused on eating.

Yu Sui returned to her dormitory, lay down on the bed and rolled around a couple of times. Feeling hot, she couldn't sleep, so she picked up the Wind Listening Ruler and turned it on.

Zhong Lique had sent her a message saying that he and his father and others went to the palace to participate in a hunt today and met someone at the hunting grounds.

"His name is Gu Jun. He is a squad leader in the Tiger Roar Battalion. This time, he was appointed to a position in the capital and became a member of the Golden Armor Army."

"I watched them compete in archery and horsemanship at the hunting grounds. He seemed really good, even outperforming Su Erge."

"When my cousin and I went to play in the back forest, we saw some snow squirrels. They were very cute, fluffy and round, and they could fly."

"But Qiao Xiu and the others used the snow flying squirrels in a contest and killed all of them."

"When I left, he gave me the snow squirrel he had rescued."

Yu Sui rarely saw Zhong Lique talk to him at length about someone else, especially a man.

After reading it, she replied: "Does this person know you?"

After a while, Zhong Lique replied, "He doesn't seem to know who I am."

Yu Sui: Why haven't you rested yet?

Zhong Lique: "I'm still playing with the snow flying squirrel, Sui Sui, it can fly!"

Yu Sui laughed.

Zhong Lique held the fluffy snow squirrel in her hands. It was all white except for a black spot on its forehead, making it very distinctive. Its long, thin black whiskers poked at her palms, making Zhong Lique feel a little itchy.

The snow squirrel flew from her palm to the tree outside the window, and from the high branches looked back at the sparrow inside the house.

"Come back," Zhong Lique called softly. "Your injuries haven't healed yet. Can you wait until you're fully recovered before you leave?"

The snow squirrel seemed to understand, circled twice on the tree and flew back, where it was caught by Zhongli Que's outstretched hand.

"It's so cute, I really want to show it to you too," Zhong Lique said happily. "How have you been at the academy these past few days?"

Yu Sui told her about how sealing the Breath Soil allowed her to learn the Nine Streams Techniques, and Zhong Li Que was even happier: "That's great! You can finally use the Nine Streams Techniques to improve your cultivation level, does Second Brother Su know?"

"I haven't told him yet." Yu Sui then mentioned the trial at the Yin-Yang Five Elements Arena, but didn't reveal her speculation about the strange fire.

After Zhong Lique saw this, he clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and concentrated. In the depths of his dark consciousness, a long golden line flashed by quickly. The line appeared intermittently, each time flashing by, yet each time it circled itself in a circle.

After the golden thread was connected end to end, Zhongli Que told Yu Sui the fragments she had seen:

"The man holding the scorpion handed over the spider he was holding."

This scene doesn't appear to show Yu Sui, but she's divining about premonitions related to Yu Sui, so anything she sees must be related to Yu Sui.

Zhong Lique has been trying to actively control that mysterious precognitive power for years.

Divination is something that all schools of thought, from the lowest to the highest, can do a little bit of, since it's the foundation of all those arts.

There is only one Fangjijia who specializes in divination.

Yu Sui secretly obtained knowledge about the divination techniques of the Fangji family through various channels and gave it to Zhong Lique. However, the two children were complete novices in the field of the Nine Schools of Divination and knew very little. Some books were written in a mysterious and enigmatic way, making it seem like they were reading celestial books.

Until Yu Sui's second brother, Su Feng, joined them.

Su Feng and Zhong Lishan had a good relationship since childhood, and Zhong Lishan often took his younger sister to play, so Su Feng and Zhong Lique often met and gradually became familiar with each other.

The scions of prominent families in the capital all knew that Zhong Lishan cherished his younger sister.

When Zhongli Shan's friends came to visit, they competed in archery at the riding range. Zhongli Que helped pick up the long arrows. At that time, there were only children at the riding range; the others were all trusted subordinates of the Zhongli family.

However, one of these friends accidentally spread the news of Zhongli Que picking up the arrow to the palace.

After Zhongli Shan found out who it was, he gave the man a severe beating. As fellow disciples of the military school, the man avoided the Zhongli family afterward and left the capital in less than two years.

After this incident, Zhong Lishan became very wary and distrustful of his friends.

He learned a lesson from this friend.

Zhong Lishan's only friend he could trust was Su Feng.

It was Su Feng who helped find out who had informed on them, and it was also Su Feng who went to confront the other party and beat them up first.

After Zhongli Shan went to Taiyi Academy, it was Su Feng who stayed in the capital to take care of Zhongli Que.

Knowing that Yu Sui and Zhong Lique had a good relationship, Su Feng would buy two of everything for his younger sister and give one to Zhong Lique as a gift.

At that time, neither the eldest brother Han Bing nor the third brother Sheng Fei were in the capital. Only Su Feng would take Yu Sui and Zhong Li Que out to play after he finished dealing with the military affairs.

When Yu Sui was sixteen, Nangong Ming said to Su Feng, "You have a good relationship with the children of the Zhongli family. Zhongli Ci sent his son to Taiyi to find a way to break my Asura Eye."

By this time, Su Feng had shed his childishness. When he was young, he admired Nangong Ming the most, but as he grew up day by day, he came into contact with more and more people and things, and experienced more and more things, his views gradually changed.

People who are lively and carefree when they are young tend to become more composed as they grow up.

Su Feng stood upright in Nangong Ming's room. The candlelight softened his handsome face, but his dark eyes remained calm and serene.

"Since you have a good relationship with Zhong Li Ci's daughter and often take her and Sui Sui out to play, it seems that Zhong Li Ci's daughter also regards you as her brother." Nangong Ming spoke slowly and deliberately, but his eyes were fixed on Su Feng.

Even standing outside the door, Yu Sui could feel the oppressive aura emanating from Nangong Ming inside the room.

"It shouldn't be too difficult for you to cause some trouble for Zhong Li Ci's daughter, Su Feng."

For Nangong Ming to call him by his full name, it could be said that Nangong Ming was expressing his dissatisfaction.

Su Feng lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I can't do it."

"Hmm?" Nangong Ming chuckled softly, "Is this a difficult task for you?"

Su Feng said, "When two powerful armies fight, they can use many positive methods instead of such despicable and insidious ones."

Nangong Ming sat down in the chair and gently stroked his chin: "You just called me despicable and treacherous? When two military strategists fight, if you can only think of winning through direct means, you are being too naive. Besides, do you think military strategists have never used any underhanded methods?"

"Have you forgotten the targeting you faced at the Military Academy, the lessons you were taught when you were almost killed several times?"

"Is that the 'positive approach' you were talking about?"

Su Feng said, "If we're going to count, I'm also a member of the military school."

Nangong Ming decisively said, "Nonsense! You are my son, Nangong Ming's son, not a member of any military family."

Su Feng calmly replied, "That's a fight between low-level sorcerers."

"Are you pretending to be naive, or are you just reluctant to hurt that little girl from the Zhongli family?" Nangong Ming smiled slightly, his gaze fixed on the person in front of him. He seemed calm, but his aura became fierce.

Su Feng slowly raised his eyes and met Nangong Ming's gaze. The young man's clear eyes were firm: "I will not touch her."

Nangong Ming slapped her hard across the face, and Yu Sui, who was outside, touched her face upon hearing it.

Su Feng's head tilted to the side after being hit, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, but he still kept his back straight, refusing to give in.

"You good-for-nothing." Nangong Ming knew his son's temper well. When he refused, even if you crushed his hands and feet, he would never bow his head.

"Get out." Nangong Ming's expression was cold, and his tone was menacing.

Su Feng lowered his head slightly, as if to express his apology to his father. When he opened the door and went out, he saw Yu Sui waiting outside. He raised his eyebrows slightly, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and smiled.

A smile of triumph and triumph after a successful struggle.

Su Feng left, and it was Yu Sui's turn to be called in for a lecture.

Nangong Ming talked to her for a long time about Su Feng's rebellion and showed her Su Feng's fate. In the end, he told her to sever ties with Zhongli Que and stop associating with the Zhongli family.

Yu Sui agreed.

Nangong Ming did not ask Yu Sui to frame Zhong Lique or find loopholes in Zhong Lique's case, because he knew that Su Feng had rejected the suggestion, so he would not let these things happen to Zhong Lique.

Su Feng will do everything he can to stop it.

This matter will only get more and more complicated in the end, and it might even turn into handing someone a knife.

Nangong Ming asked, "You wouldn't happen to like that girl from the Zhongli family, just like your second brother, would you?"

Yu Sui replied, "I don't like it that much yet."

Nangong Ming narrowed his eyes in satisfaction: "You have to be selective when making friends. Besides Zhongli Que, you don't have any other friends?"

"Yes, but not many," Yu Sui said honestly.

Nangong Ming raised his hand and touched his brow bone, sighing softly: "Making the wrong friends will only hurt you. Never mind, you'll soon have many new friends."

Yu Sui left Nangong Ming's house and returned to her own courtyard, where the mute woman told her that Su Feng was waiting in front of her house.

Su Feng visited her courtyard very few times.

Yu Sui dismissed the mute woman and the others, leaving only the brother and sister in the courtyard.

The gardenias in the courtyard were in full bloom, their fragrance filling the air at night.

Su Feng stood by the flower bushes and looked at her, saying, "It's Father's order. I know it will be difficult for you. Even if you break ties with Zhong Li Que tomorrow, I won't say anything. Take care of yourself first."

Yu Sui looked back at her brother and said, "Second brother, if she is a friend I truly care about, she may not exist in my words, but she will live in my heart."

It was from this day that Su Feng gradually came to know the true nature of his younger sister.

Yu Sui also learned of Su Feng's secret.

Many people know that Su Feng likes Zhong Li Que, because they all believe that Su Feng treats Zhong Li Que as a younger sister.

Few people knew that Su Feng liked Zhong Li Que, because only Yu Sui knew the extent to which he would go for Zhong Li Que.

But since Su Feng didn't make it clear, Yu Sui pretended not to know.

Sometimes what we can't have is the best. As long as we don't get it, we'll always remember it and it will breed unspeakable desires and cravings.

With Su Feng's help in transmitting the divination information from the Fang family, Zhong Lique was finally able to actively grasp that mysterious power. However, the information that one actively learns is very different from the information that one passively learns.

Those who passively become aware can see scenes that the person will personally experience in the future.

However, when she actively tries to foresee the future, she can only see the part that is related to the person in question, and the flashing images are very fast, requiring her to concentrate fully on observing them.

To date, most of the scenes that Zhongli Que passively foresaw were related to Yu Sui.

Whenever Yu Sui wanted to sneak out to do something, she would ask Zhong Lique for help to see if she could avoid the palace's secret guards and whether she could succeed.

At this moment, Yu Sui saw the premonition message sent by Zhong Li Que. He gently rubbed the edge of the Listening Wind Ruler with his fingertips, and the words "scorpion" and "spider" were reflected in his eyes.

Wei Ren?

She remembered what Wei Ren had said before:

"I grew up hearing your name since I was a child."

Disciple of a farming family.

He certainly knew that the precious treasure of the farmers, the Breath of Soil, was within him.
