Chapter 350 Now he is Chang Gen's personal disciple, Mei Liangyu

Yu Sui waited for Mei Liangyu for a long time. While waiting, she used the Wind Listening Ruler to reply to messages. Suddenly, she sensed fluctuations of the Five Elements Qi outside. When she tried to sense it carefully, it disappeared, as if someone had deliberately set up a barrier to hide it so as not to disturb her.

Did my senior brother and the two saints make a move?

After considering all the possibilities in her mind, Yu Sui inevitably concluded that the two deans and her senior brother's actions were likely partly due to her.

The influence of Yin and Yang is still present. After the rainstorm, the wind howled day and night. I heard that at the beginning, it was snowing everywhere, and half of the Yin-Yang Academy was covered by heavy snow.

Yu Sui stood still, gazing calmly towards the valley.

She patiently wrapped the golden hairband around her fingers and then tied her hair up.

The wind-listening ruler was still buzzing. Yu Sui glanced at the wind-listening ruler placed on the stone and answered the telepathic call.

With a ding, the other party seemed somewhat surprised: "You answered?"

Zou Qian glanced at the ruler and said definitively, "I accepted it."

Wu Huaiwei immediately retorted angrily, "Nangong Sui!"

"Dean Wu, please calm down," Yu Sui said softly. "I'm perfectly safe now, there's no danger at all, you don't need to worry too much."

Wu Huaiwei sneered angrily, "Safe? Do you know how many people are looking for you right now? And who are they? I've already arrested dozens of low-level sorcerers who want to kill you!"

These people were all risking their lives for a short time, and the low-level sorcerers in the outer city were trying every means to come to Taiyi Academy to find her.

“But I’m inside the academy! There are so many saints in the academy. Even if a thousand or a hundred thirteenth-realm sorcerers came to kill me, I wouldn’t be afraid,” Yu Sui said. “You and Dean Zou are so powerful, and you also have our master. Who could possibly get past you to kill me?”

Wu Huaiwei said in a sinister tone, "What if it's a saint who wants to kill you?"

Yu Sui feigned innocence and said, "If the one who wants to kill me is a Saint, then he definitely can't beat the three of you Saints. It's not that easy for one to fight three."

Wu Huaiwei was so angry that she immediately hung up the telepathic message.

She raised the wind-listening ruler and swung it at Zou Qian's face. Zou Qian caught it with quick reflexes and said with lingering fear, "Were you trying to punch a hole in my face? If you're really angry, just yell at her. Maybe yelling at her will have an effect."

Wu Huaiwei said, "She's not Leng Rouyin, what's the point of scolding her?"

Zou Qian leaned back in her chair, relaxing, thinking that it must have been tough for Leng Rouyin to endure her sarcastic insults for so many years.

"Where is her 'listening-to-the-wind' scale located?" Yue Xiangwei asked.

Zou Qian glanced at the mountains to the side: "Famous Valley".

Wu Huaiwei looked at him coldly: "Is it true that the Wind Listening Ruler needs to successfully connect to the sound transmission to locate a position in several mountains?"

Zou Qian nodded: "Really."

Wu Huaiwei: "Do you really think I don't know anything about counting mountains?"

Zou Qian smiled helplessly, "Other people's Wind Listening Rulers can locate objects without needing to transmit text or sound to connect, but hers is different."

Wu Huaiwei asked angrily, "You designed it for her?"

Zou Qian shook her head and sighed, "Didn't you say she was a genius?"

Wu Huaiwei remained silent for a moment.

Nangong Sui possesses more than they imagined, and each of these things is dangerous. If they are not careful, she could fall into an abyss of no return.

She needs to learn how to use these powers and avoid the dangers they may bring.

Zou Qian saw through Wu Huaiwei's meaning, but said, "She's been showing off a bit lately. Don't you think it's because she doesn't want to hide anymore?"

Wu Huaiwei said, "We can't just leave it all hidden."

After saying that, he left the Institute of Communications and headed towards the renowned scholars.

After Wu Huaiwei had walked away, Zou Qian seemed to realize what was happening and nodded, saying, "That's true." She then picked up the Wind Listening Ruler and sent a message to Yu Sui.

Yu Sui had just picked up the Wind Listening Ruler and hadn't even had a chance to read what Zou Qian had said when he noticed someone approaching. He immediately put the Wind Listening Ruler down and looked ahead.

He was fine when he went there, but when he came back, he was covered in blood and looked seriously injured.

Yu Sui was startled and hurriedly went to greet him: "Senior Brother!"

She had just helped Mei Liangyu up when the man hugged her tightly, his head resting on her neck, breathing warmly, and letting out a few low laughs.

Yu Sui turned to look at him: "You're laughing even after being beaten like this?"

Mei Liangyu, however, held the girl's head with one hand to prevent her from moving, and affectionately rubbed her skin, as if to comfort her: "I won."

"Does this count as a win?" Yu Sui reached out and touched his back, which was wet with blood.

"Fine," Mei Liangyu chuckled.

"Is it Dean Zhang or Dean Liang?" Yu Sui asked, frowning. "Or are they both together?"

Mei Liangyu was quiet for a moment, then smiled and said, "Both of them lost."

Outside the valley, two figures, one tall and one short, were disappearing into the distance.

The two walked side by side. Liang Zhen had his hands tucked into his sleeves, looking like a wise and otherworldly being. The boy had his hands tucked into his sleeves and crossed in front of him. Although he walked with his head down, he exuded a fierce aura.

Zhang Guanyi: "This is something. The Thousand Machine Heart of the Mechanists is indeed something. How many generations has it been passed down in their family? I think it contains the hard work of at least thirty sages of the Mechanists."

"His ability to master the techniques of a hundred schools is indeed due to his cunning mind. The study of the nine schools of techniques by the mechanical experts is like building a house. They find the right materials, disassemble the structure, and then reproduce and improve it, creating more kinds of styles and becoming more powerful."

Zhang Guanyi said angrily, "Now they've really found a good material like Mei Liangyu, who can perfectly utilize the power of the Thousand Machine Heart."

Liang Zhen said, "Now that he has refined the Heart of a Thousand Machines, he has become a part of the Heart of a Thousand Machines, just like the other heads of mechanical families."

The child looked up and shouted, "Do you think I don't know?!"

Liang Zhen said calmly, "Senior brother, don't act like a child."

Zhang Guanyi: "I'm just a kid now!"

"You didn't lose on purpose?" Liang Zhen looked over, one eye open and the other closed.

Zhang Guanyi: "You want me to go back and fight again, right?"

Liang Zhen: "Thanks to you, he's going to be with Nangong Sui, and neither of us can interfere."

Zhang Guanyi shook his head and said, "Love and hate are always just a thought away. Young people's love is intense, but it is also the easiest to break. Besides, the national and family feuds that stand between them don't need our intervention; they will fall apart on their own."

Liang Zhen paused, then asked, "Does he seem to be controlled by hatred?"

Zhang Guanyi blinked but didn't reply. The child touched his chin, recalling the Five Elements Qi he had felt during his fight with Mei Liangyu. His outward emotions subsided, and his face became calm.

The young man's heart was not controlled by hatred, but by killing.

The lights of the market on Jiguan Island burned until dawn, and people only began to pack up their shops and close their doors when a thin mist swept through the streets and alleys.

Alan was so tired that she fell asleep on Gongsun Qi's back. Gongsun Qi carried the girl out of the market and headed towards the Murong family in the thickening fog.

He entered the Murong family's territory, where red-clad sorcerers carrying mechanical bags could be seen everywhere. They were directing cargo ships and wagons to travel, or carrying out repairs around the cargo ships. The sounds of various tools mingled together, breaking the silence of the morning, as if transferring the hustle and bustle of the market to this place.

Gongsun Qi needs to take the Dragon Ladder to reach the palace in the clouds in order to find the head of the Murong family.

Dressed in a black wind robe and adorned with a stealth talisman, he mingled among a group of mechanical sorcerers and rode the dragon ladder silently to the highest point. As soon as the dragon ladder door opened, he was greeted by a palace in the clouds, surrounded by mountains, rocks, and flowing water.

These mechanical sorcerers were discussing the recent developments in the Fog Sea, including the names of sea fire and strange fire, but Gongsun Qi was not interested in any of it.

Following the route in his memory, he headed towards the Burning Heaven Palace where Murong Xiao lived. The further he went in, the fewer people there were, and it was quiet everywhere. The bright red walls and roofs, along with countless green flowers and plants, did not appear vulgar, but rather serene and tranquil.

Ahead lay a large grove of green plum trees. A red-clad figure in a wheelchair coughed softly, her thin shoulders twitching. Her silver hair was loose and flowing down her back, completely unrestrained.

Gongsun Qi moved forward silently, his pace neither fast nor slow, passing through branches adorned with green plum blossoms, the air thick with the fragrance of plum blossoms.

Murong Xiao placed his broad palm on the armrest, his well-defined fingers gently curling, and leaned back in his chair with a relaxed posture, saying with a smile, "Why did you bring a child with you?"

He had his back to Gongsun Qi, and even his eyes were closed, with only a faint smile on his lips.

Gongsun Qi asked, "How did you know?"

“Nowadays, eighty percent of the extraordinary weapons and treasures on this continent come from the art of mechanical engineering, and the Black Wind Robe is one of them,” Murong Xiao said. “Although the Instant Concealment Talisman is a Taoist artifact, it’s not a rare item for us.”

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Qi dispelled his invisibility, put away his black robe, and stood in the green forest dressed in white.

He glanced at the man's full head of silver hair and casually remarked, "I didn't expect you to age so quickly."

Murong Xiao turned his wheelchair to face Gongsun Qi. The man's face still looked young; the only traces that time seemed to have left on him were his full head of white hair.

He smiled, reached out and picked up a strand of hair to examine it: "I'm a bit older than you, but I never expected you'd have children."

Gongsun Qi said calmly, "I only have one child, A-Lan."

Murong Xiao didn't ask any more questions, but instead looked at the stone table next to him: "Want to sit for a while?"

Gongsun Qi: "I'm not here to reminisce."

"Since you've found me, you must know that the child is still alive." Murong Xiao came to the stone table and set out a cup of water. "It's just that some names can't be mentioned in Taiyi, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble. As you know, there's an old monster in Taiyi."

Gongsun Qi placed Alan beside the stone table, letting her lie down and sleep, while he remained standing to the side, asking in a calm voice, "Was the person who killed my sister Chang Gen?"

Murong Xiao said, "Yes."

Gongsun Qi then asked, "Was it him who took the person away?"

Murong Xiao replied gently, "Yes."

Gongsun Qi stared directly at Murong Xiao, his gaze carrying a silent pressure: "Is there anything else I need to know?"

Murong Xiao poured the tea with unhurried movements, exuding a peaceful aura: "Originally, none of them should have been spared, but the Thousand Machine Heart was discovered within him, so we were forced to bring him back to Taiyi. Only the sages of Taiyi and the people of the Mechanical Family know about this."

Gongsun Qi suddenly laughed and said, "So many people know this."

Murong Xiao said, "His memories are sealed, so we can't treat him too specially on the surface. Besides, his father once told me that if such a day comes, there's no need to worry too much. Just focus on other things, and he'll find a way on his own."

Gongsun Qi asked in a deep voice, "Did he know all along that these things would happen?"

Murong Xiao laughed and said, "That's what I asked too, but he always liked to speak in riddles, which is probably why he deserved to die."

Although it was said in a joking tone, the atmosphere did not become more relaxed or pleasant.

In truth, they all knew that some things truly could not be spoken. Even a master of magic and divination should know that the moment they glimpsed their future destiny, their own death was also sealed.

"He's doing quite well in Taiyi. People who lose their memories are like newborns, without the troubles brought by those painful memories of the past."

"He even managed to make Chang Gen take him to heart, and other sages also took good care of him. He could practically do whatever he wanted in Taiyi."

"Now he is Chang Gen's personal disciple, Mei Liangyu."

As long as he remains Mei Liangyu, no one can harm him.

Despite the changing winds and the division and reunification of the world, nothing could shake his position in Taiyi.

After listening, Gongsun Qi remained silent for a long time before asking, "Do you think he's happy in Taiyi?"

Murong Xiao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Of course I'm happy."

The man looked up at Gongsun Qi, but the smile in his eyes was intriguing: "In Taiyi, as Mei Liangyu, he could even fall in love with Nangong Ming's daughter and risk his life for Nangong Sui."

Gongsun Qi's eyelids twitched, and the word "absurd" flashed through his mind.
