Chapter 298 You really don't care whether your brother lives or dies?

Yu Sui chased after him only to retrieve the Fusang Pearl that had been in Chen Jie's ear.

As soon as she spoke, Xia Feichen's attention fell on her, and he didn't look at Chen Jie. Chen Jie had rolled on the ground earlier, and his sideburns were disheveled, covering his ears.

Hibiscus beads are tiny, transparent dewdrops that are usually hard to spot when they fall on clothes.

Amidst the chaos, Yu Sui used the Eight Trigrams Generation Technique, specifically the Xun Trigram Generation Technique, which corresponded to the Flowing Wind. Within two small vortexes of wind, a silent shift occurred, and the Fusang Pearl unnoticed fell into her sleeve.

Xia Feichen was completely captivated by what Yu Sui said. He didn't have a good impression of Yu Sui pleading for Chen Jie, and even after arriving at the Legalist execution ground, he still kept thinking about those words.

To repent and start anew.

If someone like Chen Jie had that kind of awareness, he wouldn't have done such a thing.

Showing mercy is out of the question.

After hearing Instructor Sun's explanation at the Legalist execution ground, and seeing Chen Jie's voluntary admission, Jiang Shulan realized there was no need to ask any further questions. She could only sigh as she looked at Chen Jie.

Chen Jie felt extremely guilty when facing Jiang Shulan.

"If that's the case, how did you injure your eyes?" Jiang Shulan asked.

Chen Jie lowered his head and said, "It was my own improper cultivation that caused the backlash when I used the Triple Eye."

Is it true that Nangong Sui gouged out his eyes at this point?

He must be crazy to do that.

If you don't speak up, you'll just be expelled from Taiyi; if you do speak up, you'll surely die.

Chen Jie knew very well that even if he said it, no one would believe him. It was too absurd. Even he himself didn't believe it, and there was no evidence to identify Nangong Sui. In the end, he would only end up refusing to admit his mistake.

Everyone knows that the renowned physician Jiang Shulan is kind-hearted and soft-hearted. If he were to expose Nangong Sui in front of her, he would only put himself in a more unfavorable situation and wouldn't even be able to gain Dean Jiang's sympathy.

Jiang Shulan reached out and placed her hand on his eye socket. Chen Jie was forced to raise his head, powerless to resist, and allowed Jiang Shulan to examine his wound.

Yu Sui did not use any of the Nine Rank Techniques. Instead, he directly caused the Five Elements Light Core to explode. The unclaimed energy attacked Chen Jie's eyeballs. What remained was only unclaimed energy that did not belong to anyone, and there was no trace of any Nine Rank Techniques.

Even Jiang Shulan couldn't find any proof.

Jiang Shulan examined Chen Jie's wounds but couldn't find anything useful. She could only assume, as he himself had said, that he had suffered a backlash.

Dean Yu Sheng, who was in charge of the Legalist school, had returned. He was sitting in a chair and looked at Jiang Shulan: "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Jiang Shulan shook her head, and facing Chen Jie's pleading gaze, sighed, "Expel him from Taiyi."

Yu Sheng then told the later practitioners of the Fa school: "Abolish all the nine schools of arts that he learned in Taiyi."

Chen Jie's face turned ashen, his lips trembled, but he dared not utter a word. He was already grateful to have his life spared.

He doesn't want to die.

People who do despicable things know in their hearts that it is wrong, but they prefer the momentary thrill to satisfy themselves, without being aware that they should pay for that momentary pleasure with their lives.

Chen Jie is that kind of person.

He handled things quickly. He was tortured by the Legalists and had his Nine Schools of Arts cleansed. His Light Core Realm was suppressed, allowing him to return to the Fifth Realm when he first arrived in Taiyi.

When Jiang Shulan said she was being expelled from Taiyi, she meant that he couldn't even stay in the outer city.

Chen Jie was forcibly put onto the Cloud Chariot Flying Dragon by the Legalist instructors, and that very night the chariot carried him away from Taiyi.

Upon arriving on the Cloud Chariot Flying Dragon, Chen Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Although he harbored resentment, he felt even more fear.

He now only wants the cloud chariot to be as fast as possible, ideally leaving Taiyi in the blink of an eye.

After feeling safe, Chen Jie finally relaxed and fell asleep despite the pain. When he woke up, he had already left Taiyi.

Mo Yun was still the driver of this cloud-carrying flying dragon, and he was the one who picked up and dropped off most of the students of Taiyi.

Mo Yun welcomed them to Taiyi and then saw them off.

"Let's go." Mo Yun said with a smile to Chen Jie inside the house, "We've arrived. You should repent and start anew from now on."

Chen Jie woke up groggily and was about to thank her in a low voice when he felt a sharp pain in his right eye. He couldn't bear it and was about to kneel down when Mo Yun reached out and helped him up.

"Thank you." Chen Jie was covered in sweat and stumbled down.

After seeing the person off at Taiyi, Mo Yun turned back.

Chen Jie stood on the riverbank, wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out the wind-listening ruler, his right eye was in so much pain that his hand holding the ruler was trembling.

He had intended to send a message to the others in Taiyi, but remembering that he had already left Taiyi and could not contact those still there, he could only curse inwardly.

Using the Five Elements Light Core placed on Chen Jie, Yu Sui tested the farthest distance that the light core could currently monitor, and then shattered the Five Elements Light Core.

The Five Elements Light Core exploded in front of Chen Jie's chest, and the airflow passed through his heart, causing Chen Jie to fall to the ground after taking his first step.

He didn't even know why he died.

Wanqi waited all night and was somewhat restless.

He couldn't see Chen Jie's body and was still uncertain. After learning that the Legalist instructor had personally escorted Chen Jie onto the flying dragon chariot, Wan Qi thought it was all over and prepared to leave the clinic to find Yu Sui.

Wan Qi had just gotten up when he saw Yu Sui standing at the door.

Yu Sui tilted his head and gestured: "The vegetarian hall is hosting a dinner party, are you going?"

Wan Qi asked, "You're treating?"

Yu Sui said, "I'll treat."

Wanqi then followed her to the vegetarian hall.

The dining hall was still nearly empty as dawn approached.

The two sat at a table in a corner on the third floor of the dining hall, where it was quiet and the view was expansive.

Yu Sui was very generous in treating everyone, ordering expensive and delicious food. As Wan Qi looked at the food, he almost forgot what he was supposed to say to Yu Sui.

Until Yu Sui said, "Eat."

Wan Qicai came to his senses and asked, "Chen Jie was sent away by the instructor on the Cloud Chariot Flying Dragon, leaving Taiyi."

Yu Sui looked up at him: "If you have time, you can ride the cloud chariot and catch up now, and then go see his body."

Wan Qi looked at her suspiciously: "Really?"

Yu Sui rested her chin on her hand and looked at him: "Sometimes, can being overly cautious be interpreted as a lack of confidence?"

"Or are you insecure about me?"

Wan Qi said with an embarrassed look, "I just didn't expect you to actually get your hands stained with blood."

Yu Sui said, "He offended me."

Wan Qi was speechless; this was the truth.

He scratched his head and said tactfully, "This isn't like you at all."

Yu Sui added, "That's how the Nangong family does things."

Wan Qi was taken aback, and in an instant accepted all of Nangong Sui's unusual behavior, which also confirmed his suspicions.

These scions of noble families could not possibly be fools.

Yu Sui looked at him and said again, "Do you prefer the outcome where Chen Jie is let off by the instructor, only to cause you trouble later?"

“At first I hesitated and didn’t want to get involved. Do you know why?” Wan Qi sighed. “Because Chen Jie has a very good relationship with the people of Qingyun Society. If I ruin his plans, it won’t just be Chen Jie who’s causing trouble for me. I don’t want to mess with Qingyun Society.”

Yu Sui smiled and pretended not to know anything, saying, "What are you talking about? The Qingyun Society is dedicated to helping ordinary people, and Chairman Pu is fair and kind. Why would he deliberately make things difficult for people?"

Hearing her say that, Wan Qi sighed inwardly and started eating in despair: "Anyway, as long as Chen Jie is dead, that's fine."

"You have a grudge against Qingyun?"

"No." Wan Qi shook his head.

"Then what are you afraid Qingyun will do?" Yu Sui pointed to himself. "Shouldn't it be scions of noble families like me who should be afraid Qingyun will cause trouble?"

“Is Sheng Fei from the Ming family your brother?” Wan Qi asked, burying his head in his food. “Recently, didn’t he make a bet with Su Xingchao from the Ming family about deciphering the ancient inscription? Chen Jie is Su Xingchao’s good brother, and Su Xingchao is also Chairman Pu’s good brother.”

Wan Qi looked up at Yu Sui: "Do you understand now?"

Yu Sui propped her head up with her hand and said casually, "I don't understand."

Wan Qi: "..."

Wan Qi stated directly, "If we kill Chen Jie, Su Xingchao won't let us off the hook, and neither will Chairman Pu."

Yu Sui asked very seriously, "What can Su Xingchao and Chairman Pu do to us?"

Wan Qi sighed deeply with a bitter face, "My dear princess, can't you see? Su Xingchao is already causing trouble for your brother. He will definitely use this matter to disrupt Sheng Fei's thinking. Chairman Pu will also help, using attacks on you to provoke Sheng Fei. Anyway, everyone knows that Sheng Fei can't stand being provoked."

"If your brother loses the bet, he'll have to quit Taiyi."

Yu Sui said, "If my third brother really loses, it's because he's not as skilled as the other guy."

Wan Qi asked in surprise, "You really don't care whether your brother lives or dies?"

"Then what do you think they can attack me with?" Yu Sui reached for the teapot to pour water. "Senior Brother Pu isn't that kind of person. He was with us in the outer city last time and took good care of us."

Seeing that she seemed to really trust Pu Heng, Wan Qi couldn't help but shake his head and say a few more words: "President Pu definitely won't take action personally. What he's good at is dismantling the circle you rely on for survival without making a sound."

"You know so much about Senior Brother Pu?" Yu Sui looked at him in surprise.

Wan Qi lowered her eyes: "I heard it from someone else."

Yu Sui recalled that last time in the outer city, Pu Heng and Wan Qi had almost no interaction; they didn't even seem to make eye contact.

You wouldn't guess they knew each other at all.

"Why do you portray Senior Brother Pu as such a bad person?" Yu Sui feigned disagreement and lightly scolded Wan Qi.

Wan Qi twitched the corner of her mouth slightly and said helplessly, "Fine, I'm the bad guy. I shouldn't have talked badly about people behind their backs."

Yu Sui poured him a cup of tea, then disagreed, saying, "If you were a bad person, you wouldn't have gone and disrupted Chen Jie's plans."

Wan Qi: "I still have a conscience, don't I?"

"This meal is a testament to your conscience," Yu Sui said politely. "Eat in peace."

Wan Qi found it somewhat amusing, never expecting that one day he would be treated this way because of his rare conscience.

Yu Sui continued watching Wan Qi eat: "You've said so much, but you haven't said how Senior Brother Pu will retaliate against you?"

Wan Qi: "You don't need to worry about me."

Yu Sui shook her head: "I'm not worried about you, I'm just curious what they'll do to you."

Wan Qi: "..."

"I guess they'll get someone to beat me up," he mumbled incoherently.

"Beat you up? You don't seem afraid of getting beaten up." Yu Sui seemed to have thought of something, raising her sleeve to cover her face, "Are you going to cripple your Light Core Realm again?"

"No way!" Wan Qi shook his head. "I'm just an insignificant ordinary disciple. At most, they can just find someone to beat me up. Their main target is definitely you and Sheng Fei."

Yu Sui lowered his head and drank his tea, remaining noncommittal.

Yu Sui soon realized that Wan Qi was right.

After daybreak, the events that happened at the medical family the previous night were spread, and most of the disciples knew that Chen Jie had been expelled from Taiyi.

Su Xingchao, furious that he hadn't had time to see his friend one last time, stormed off to Sheng Fei's dormitory.

The onlookers in the corridor spontaneously made way for Su Xingchao. As he approached Sheng Fei's door, Su Xingchao took a deep breath and shouted angrily, "Sheng Fei! Get out here!"

The sound waves spread out, and some disciples who were still sleeping in the room were so shocked that they turned over and got up.

Mu Mengbai, who was asleep on the table, was knocked to the ground by the loud noise. Sheng Fei was already annoyed by the ancient inscription, and Su Xingchao came to provoke him. He frowned unhappily and threw the ink brush in his hand towards the door.

The shockwave blasted open the door with a loud bang, and the ink brush, sharp as a sword, aimed straight at Su Xing's brow.

Su Xingchao waved his hand and made a hand seal. Circles of white energy spread out in front of him, eventually turning into a small circle that tightly gripped the ink brush that was pointing at his forehead in front of the door.

The two were competing in their five elements of energy, and the air in the corridor became like a taut thread, wrapping around the necks of everyone watching the spectacle, making them shrink back into the house in fear.

Suddenly, with a loud bang, two even stronger shockwaves collided and exploded, knocking many unprepared people to the ground.

A wail came from inside the house: "What are you doing?! The Hundred Families Night Parade is still two days away, and you're starting the fight now?!"

While the two were fighting, Mu Mengbai, who had fallen under the table, touched his ever-glowing Wind-Listening Ruler, rubbed his eyes for a moment, and then sat up abruptly: "Ouch!"

"Stop your fighting!" someone shouted from outside. "Settle your personal grudges yourselves. If you keep shaking the whole floor like this, we won't be so polite!"

Sheng Fei and Su Xingchao then stopped, and the ink brush circled back to Sheng Fei's hand.

"You've come here looking for death?" Sheng Fei remained seated at the table, his face grim as he stared at Su Xingchao at the door.

Su Xingchao pointed at Sheng Fei: "You are truly despicable and shameless! You didn't want to lose to me, so you had your sister Nangong Sui frame Chen Jie, causing him to be expelled from Taiyi. Sheng Fei, if you're afraid of this bet, just say so!"

When Sheng Fei heard him say that Yu Sui had framed Chen Jie, he was completely confused, but the displeasure in his eyes became more and more obvious.

"Have some shame, Su Xingchao. Chen Jie himself has admitted it. The deans of the Legalist and Medical Schools have also interrogated him. Chen Jie has only himself to blame. How dare you say such nonsense as our sister framing Chen Jie?" Mu Mengbai saw through Su Xingchao's intentions directly. "You don't need to be so stupid to provoke our young master!"

Su Xingchao is known for his recklessness and lack of common sense when he's out in public, so it's normal for him to speak without thinking.

Pu Heng thought it was perfectly reasonable for him to say such nonsense.

They were just looking for an excuse to provoke Sheng Fei.

Su Xingchao completely ignored Mu Mengbai and stared at Sheng Fei. He was indeed angry about Chen Jie's matter and was in a state of rage, looking fierce: "Fine, you two siblings are resorting to underhanded tactics, aren't you? This matter won't end like this! Sheng Fei, I advise you to keep an eye on your sister, otherwise she will suffer the same fate as Chen Jie!"

After making those harsh words, Su Xingchao gave a heavy snort and turned to leave. Sheng Fei was so angry he almost laughed. Who was he threatening in front of?

"Who do you think you are, Su Xingchao, for bullying my sister?"

Mu Mengbai knew something was wrong as soon as he heard this, and rushed over to stop him. Sheng Fei ignored the advice of the other disciples on the same floor and attacked again.
