Chapter 299 Mei Liangyu insisted that I come and tell you
Sheng Fei's intervention resulted in a chaotic brawl on that floor. Eventually, several instructors arrived to control the situation, identifying and penalizing the main instigators and those who caused widespread damage.
Only after the injection did Sheng Fei learn what had happened at the doctor's house the night before.
What did Yu Sui do wrong? She was just going to the doctor's house for a medicinal bath to heal her injuries. Not to mention, Chen Jie himself admitted that he sneaked over there, wanting to use his Triple Eyes pupil technique to peek.
The thought of Yu Sui almost being harmed by such trash filled Sheng Fei with uncontrollable rage.
If this were in Qingyang, Chen Jie wouldn't have survived to leave alive; he would have been imprisoned and executed by the Criminal Investigation Department upon discovery.
Su Xingchao still dared to say that his sister had deliberately framed him. Sheng Fei became angrier and angrier, and couldn't hold back any longer. In front of the instructor, he beat Su Xingchao up.
Sheng Fei struck first, and several black and white chess pieces exploded near Su Xingchao's face, causing him to bleed profusely from his head.
Su Xingchao was also shocked, not expecting Sheng Fei to dare to take action even after being announced as having points deducted by the instructor!
"Sheng Fei! You actually launched a sneak attack!" Su Xingchao was both in pain and furious from the blast, and was about to retaliate, but was restrained by the quick-witted instructor: "Alright, stop! You're already like this and you still want to fight? Should I just send you to the outer city for a life-or-death duel?!"
The Legalist instructor was so angry at the scene that he glared and puffed out his beard: "Fine, fine, isn't deducting points enough? You don't listen to the rule that private duels are not allowed in the academy at all!"
“That’s Sheng Fei…” Su Xingchao roared angrily, but was pulled away by the two instructors.
Sheng Fei was so angry he wanted to kill someone. No matter how much the instructor tried to pull him away, it was no use. In the end, he fought with the instructor, his goal being to tear Su Xingchao to pieces.
Seeing that Sheng Feizhen was truly intent on killing, the two instructors had no choice but to intervene and stop him.
Su Xingchao, standing behind the instructor, pointed at Sheng Fei and said, "So, you're so angry that you want to kill him?"
Sheng Fei: "Is your worthless life even worth keeping?"
The instructor had no choice but to follow the rules and take Sheng Fei to the Legalist school to be locked up.
Although Su Xingchao was injured, at least he wasn't confined. Sheng Fei, on the other hand, will be locked up for at least three days for causing this disturbance.
Upon seeing this, Mu Mengbai slapped his forehead and muttered, "Oh no, oh no."
While Sheng Fei was imprisoned by the Legalist school, Yu Sui was in the Broken Sword Domain of the Military school receiving Li Jinshuang.
A number of people were waiting outside the Broken Sword Domain Trial Grounds, where the ranking list for this trial was updated in real time on the bulletin board next to the entrance.
Li Jinshuang ranked sixteenth.
This ranking list is quite interesting; it even lists the cultivation levels of the disciples undergoing trials inside, so you can see whether the disciples have leveled up or suffered injuries or damage to their cultivation levels.
Yu Sui saw that someone had dropped from the eighth realm to the sixth realm. People around him were discussing the disciple whose cultivation level had dropped, saying that he must have been besieged inside.
Li Jinshuang has advanced to the seventh realm, so this trip can be considered fruitful.
Looking further up, Yu Sui saw that Zhong Lishan, ranked second, had risen to the tenth realm, and Kong Yiyi, ranked fourth, had also risen to the tenth realm.
Currently ranked first is Bei Shan, a first-class disciple of the military school. He is also at the tenth realm, but his score is much higher than others.
Yu Sui had some impression of Bei Shan; he was a somewhat famous disciple in the military school. However, it was the first time he had heard of someone who had surpassed Zhong Lishan and Kong Yiyi, who were consistently ranked among the top three disciples on various lists within the military school.
Yu Sui took out the Listening Wind Ruler and flipped through it. Sure enough, Bei Shan was also a member of the Qingyun Society.
She glanced at Nian Qiuyan and Xing Chun as they approached out of the corner of her eye.
Nian Qiuyan stopped beside her and said, "When I came here, I heard from the Ming family that Sheng Fei and Su Xingchao got into a fight and he was put in solitary confinement."
Yu Sui looked up in surprise: "How could my third brother... How long will this confinement last?"
“We don’t know yet,” Nian Qiuyan said. “Perhaps Su Xingchao wants him locked up until the bet ends.”
Xing Chun sighed, "Sheng Fei really can't keep his composure."
Nian Qiuyan said, "Although I am imprisoned by the Legalists, the time is still determined by the School of Names."
The academy has four deans, three of whom are in Shuizhou. The one primarily in charge at Taiyi Academy is Elder Zhu.
Xing Chun suddenly thought of something and looked at Yu Sui, saying, "I have a bad feeling."
Yu Sui: "Senior Brother Xing, just say it if you've thought of something."
Xing Chun said, "Won't they wait for you to go to Gu Gan and ask Gu Gan to help get Sheng Fei out, and then Sheng Fei will be so angry that he will die?"
Yu Sui was taken aback.
That's quite possible.
Anyone can rescue Sheng Fei, but Gu Gan is the only exception. However, Gu Gan happens to be Dean Zhu's apprentice, so if he wants to help get Sheng Fei out, he certainly can.
People knew that Sheng Fei and Gu Gan were at odds, and they also knew about Yu Sui's relationship with the two of them.
They were betting that Yu Sui wouldn't abandon her brother, and would go to Gu Gan's aid, and that Gu Gan wouldn't abandon his childhood sweetheart either, and would definitely lend a hand.
If Sheng Fei knew that Yu Sui had asked Gu Gan for help, he would be furious.
This alone was enough to distract Sheng Fei from deciphering the inscription, and losing the bet was only a matter of time.
This whole thing is really well-structured and interconnected.
“Su Xingchao certainly doesn’t have the brains to think of these things,” Nian Qiuyan reminded Yu Sui.
After speaking, he glanced at Xing Chun beside him; he understood Pu Heng's thinking quite well.
"Could it be that Su Xingchao has someone behind him?" Yu Sui pretended not to know. "If I were to go to Brother Gu to save Third Brother, Third Brother would definitely not agree."
Nian Qiuyan also bluntly stated, "Su Xingchao is a member of the Qingyun Society, and Pu Heng must be behind him guiding him in this matter."
"It's best not to go looking for Gu Gan, otherwise I bet Sheng Fei will go crazy. Doesn't he have a bet with Su Xingchao? If he loses, he'll have to quit Taiyi." Xing Chun nodded in agreement, then pressed the Listening Wind Ruler in his hand and asked doubtfully, "But where did Mei Mei go again? He's nowhere to be seen when it's his turn to act. Did he fall into the sea again?"
“Senior brother…” Yu Sui pursed her lips and said, “Senior brother was taken away by Master, and I don’t know where they went or when they will come back.”
Xing Chun's eyes widened upon hearing this: "Old Chang is so biased? Why does the private tutor only take care of Mei Mei and not you!"
Nian Qiuyan: "..."
You had to say it in front of others and hurt their feelings.
Anyway, I dare not say it. Xing Chun would have been quite pleased to hear it.
"I don't know either," Yu Sui said, feigning innocence.
Xing Chun thought to himself, "Luckily, we have Dean Wu. If I can't learn the nine-class arts of the Ghost Daoist, can't I at least learn the Yin-Yang School?"
Nian Qiuyan dared not reveal Yu Sui's true nature to Xing Chun, and Xing Chun dared not expose Yu Sui's genius as a Yin-Yang master to Nian Qiuyan.
The two stopped short of exchanging pleasantries and were about to circle back to the topic of Sheng Fei when the gates of the Broken Sword Domain opened. The instructor of the Military School stood up and announced the end of the trial. The Military School disciples who participated in the trial appeared, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Nian Qiuyan spotted the injured Kong Yiyi in the crowd at a glance and quickly went forward.
Xing Chun knew that Zhong Lishan had fallen out with Su Tong again. Since Su Tong hadn't come, he came over to check on things and take the opportunity to mock Zhong Lishan. However, when he saw Zhong Lishan supporting Kong Yiyi, who was covered in blood, he frowned and followed him.
Zhong Lishan helped Kong Yiyi, whose five elements were in disarray, while Kong Yiyi looked up at the blue-clad youth in front of her.
The young man was dressed neatly, without a trace of dishevelment. His dark hair was tied up high, and his face was handsome. He looked like a frail young scholar, but there was a sharp edge in his eyes.
The long sword in his hand was long and sharp, its blade as clear as water and as bright as the moon, gleaming with light.
At this moment, the young man's sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly as he stared at Kong Yiyi, pursing his lips and saying, "I didn't expect that the last sword strike would wound you. If you don't stand up for Zhong Lishan..."
Just as Zhong Lishan was about to lash out, Kong Yiyi stopped him with a gesture. She smiled at Bei Shan and said in a weak voice, "The trial is over, and there's nothing more to say. Congratulations on winning first place in this trial and obtaining the Water Moon Sword."
After hearing this, Beishan lowered his eyes and glanced at the newly acquired weapon, the Water Moon Sword, before silently sheathing it and turning to leave.
Nian Qiuyan stepped forward, and Kong Yiyi naturally reached out her hand to him, which he then embraced.
Zhong Lishan explained briefly: "The Five Elements are in disarray."
Xing Chun, who followed closely behind, asked, "Was it Bei Shan who injured you?"
Zhong Lishan shook his head: "I was wrong."
Yu Sui, who was watching the commotion from behind, rolled her eyes and only noticed Li Jinshuang coming out from behind after Nian Qiuyan left with Kong Yiyi.
She smiled and waved to Li Jinshuang.
Most of the disciples from the Broken Sword Domain were injured, so the medical clinic is probably going to be busy again.
Yu Sui walked toward Li Jinshuang and saw that she looked exhausted, her white clothes stained halfway with blood.
Li Jinshuang cut off a piece of her dress and wrapped it around her hand holding the sword, which prevented her injured fingers from dropping the sword.
As Yu Sui approached, she heard a sharp, angry shout from behind: "Li Jinshuang!"
The angry girl in red raised her hand to slap Li Jinshuang, but Yu Sui grabbed her wrist and stopped her midway.
"Get out of my way!" After cursing Yu Sui, the girl in red immediately switched her other hand to hit Li Jinshuang, she was truly furious.
Yu Suiqi shook off her hand, and the girl in red was thrown backward by the force, but was caught by the person who caught up.
Yu Sui didn't use much force, but she was somewhat surprised by the push; the girl in red seemed to be seriously injured.
The person supporting the girl in red advised, "Qingyou, never mind, let's go to the clinic first, your injuries..."
Su Qingyou?
Yu Sui remembered the name; it was the military disciple who had been discussed outside and had fallen from the eighth realm to the sixth realm.
Su Qingyou was so angry that her eyes turned red, and her eyes were filled with glistening tears.
She stubbornly wiped away her tears, glaring hatefully at Li Jinshuang, and said, "You just wait! Let's see how long you can maintain this Eight Realms!"
Li Jinshuang listened in silence, not uttering a single word.
With Yu Sui blocking their way, Su Qingyou and the others couldn't do anything to Li Jinshuang, so they had no choice but to take her to the clinic for treatment.
"What does she mean?" Yu Sui turned around and asked Li Jinshuang.
Li Jinshuang withdrew her gaze from the empty scabbard at Su Qingyou's waist and said in a low voice, "I broke her sword."
Yu Sui: "So what?"
If you lose a competition, you lose.
Li Jinshuang continued, "She lost her weapon and was injured while I was holding her. In her weakened state, she was injured by another group of people, which is why she lost her cultivation."
Yu Sui asked, confused, "Then why are they only criticizing you and not the other group?"
Li Jinshuang hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Yu Sui. Yu Sui understood her meaning and pulled her outside.
Yu Sui said, "Let's go back to my place first, wash off the smell of blood, and then I'll treat your injuries."
Li Jinshuang was taken back to her residence by Yu Sui. She first went to bathe and wash up. Through the screen, Yu Sui asked her, "Did you take care of yourself?"
After a moment of silence, Li Jinshuang's voice came from inside, and Yu Sui went in.
Li Jinshuang's hands were exposed to the air, with wounds so deep that bone was visible, and not a single one of her ten fingers was intact.
Yu Sui sighed, "Are you fighting this fiercely in the Broken Sword Domain?"
“Because there are no restrictions on the disciple’s level, it is somewhat dangerous,” Li Jinshuang said. “The allure of the Water Moon Sword is also very strong for disciples of the Military School.”
Yu Sui asked, "What is the Water Moon Sword used for?"
Li Jinshuang said, "It comes with its own armor and armor, like a mirage."
"That temptation is indeed quite great." Yu Sui then asked, "And what about Su Qingyou?"
Li Jinshuang frowned, and after a while, she said softly, "I told you before that someone once mistook me for a man and wanted to arrange a marriage."
Yu Sui exclaimed in surprise, "Is it Su Qingyou?"
Li Jinshuang shook her head: "Su Qingyou is her cousin."
Yu Sui suddenly realized: "This is because they already had a prejudice against you, and now they've made enemies, so they're only targeting you to scold you."
Li Jinshuang was used to this kind of thing, and her emotions didn't fluctuate much.
“But you can’t just stand there and wait for someone to hit you!” Yu Sui said. “If I hadn’t stopped them, you would have gotten slapped in front of so many people.”
Li Jinshuang explained, "My hand is numb."
Yu Sui: "..."
She sighed and said, "Judging from Su Qingyou's attitude, she definitely won't let you off the hook in the future. I heard that the academy will start the Hundred Families Night Parade in two days. At that time, the academy will be like the outer city, where disciples will not be restricted from fighting each other. They will be responsible for their own lives. You'd better be careful."
Li Jinshuang nodded gently.
After Yu Sui finished applying the medicine to Li Jinshuang, she heard someone knocking on the door. It was Situ Jin who came in.
Situ Jin searched outside but couldn't find Li Jinshuang. He heard that Yu Sui had taken her back to the dormitory, so he came to find Yu Sui.
“I heard she was injured when she left the Broken Sword Domain. Here are some medicines as a return gift for the last time she treated us.” Situ Jin didn’t go inside, but stood at the door and handed the box to Yu Sui.
Yu Sui reached out and took it: "She's still taking a bath, so it's not convenient for her to see anyone right now."
Situ Jin waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving soon too. The people on the Mechanized Island are dealing with the sea fire, and they should be able to extinguish it in the Fog Sea by tomorrow."
He tucked his hands into his sleeves and looked at Yu Sui with one eye open as he spoke: "Mei Liangyu insisted that I come over and tell you not to worry."
Yu Sui smiled and lowered her head slightly after hearing this, saying, "Thank you."
Situ Jin was taken aback, then left with a sour feeling in her heart.
He thought Mei Liangyu was in love with him but it was unrequited love, and he was even prepared to go back and see Mei Liangyu make a fool of himself. He never expected that they were in love with each other. What makes this kid so special?
