Chapter 354 Are you not good enough?

Shortly after Mei Liangyu ended the telepathic communication, he received a message from Ren Gui, informing him of the latest situation inside the Wujian Mountain Abyss.

After he finished reading it, he handed the Wind Listening Ruler to Yu Sui.

Yu Sui peeked out and exclaimed in surprise, "Qin Yidong and Su Jichun got separated?"

Mei Liangyu said, "Look down."

Looking further down, Yu Sui couldn't help but purse her lips.

Qin Yidong and Gu Gan met. Gu Gan couldn't stand Qin Yidong's shameless behavior of using Su Jichun as a shield, so the two got into a fight. As a result, Gu Gan and Su Jichun fell into a deep valley and disappeared.

Yu Sui couldn't help but recall the first time she met Xiang Feifei in the capital of Qingyang.

The girls Gu Gan rescued were either seventeen, eighteen, or nineteen, or twenty, fifty, or sixty.

He just likes to be chivalrous and is willing to go through fire and water for any girl he likes, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Every girl saved by Gu Gan during a time of danger and suffering would feel grateful to him and secretly develop feelings for him. But Yu Sui was different. Even though Gu Gan shielded her from an arrow without hesitation, she couldn't be moved by such a heroic act.

Because it's about sharing with others.

Perhaps you are the most special one in his heart, but he can't forget other girls either. He will cherish the memories and regrets with others, remember their beauty, gentleness, and heart-fluttering moments. When the other person encounters misfortune and needs help, he will still step forward and go to great lengths for other women.

Yu Sui looked up and glanced at Mei Liangyu.

Mei Liangyu couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by that suspicious look?"

“I was just thinking about it. If you, my senior brother, were to risk your life for another woman and end up covered in wounds, what would I do?” Yu Sui said.

Mei Liangyu was silent for a moment, then spoke for the second time: "Junior sister, just say so if you want to kill me."

He appeared incredibly calm.

Yu Sui was still pondering, "Am I being too stingy?"

She wasn't really sure what the right way to love someone was. Yu Sui only knew that if she liked someone, she would do everything she could to be good to them.

People often say that love is about tolerance, about accepting everything about the other person without any limits.

Mei Liangyu countered with a question to Yu Sui: "Then what would you do?"

Yu Sui stared at him without saying a word.

If that day ever comes, all she wants is for Mei Liangyu to die.

Mei Liangyu saw the answer in Yu Sui's eyes and slowly took a deep breath: "Just think about it and see if that day really comes or if you'll drive me crazy first."

Yu Sui lowered her head to avoid the other person's fierce gaze and pretended to continue reading the document.

She saw from the message that Mei Liangyu's target was a very dangerous place in the Wujian Mountain Abyss, called Weak Water Green Mud, which was the place that contained all the death energy in the Wujian Mountain Abyss.

A malevolent death aura circulates within, filled with filth and sludge, devouring life; anything fresh that falls in will become part of this death aura.

Life and death are in a constant cycle of opposites; where there is life, there is death, so life never ceases and death never ends.

In addition to countless elusive lightning strikes, the Abyss of No Return is also filled with dangerous, unclaimed gods that will actively attack people.

The unowned deity is a tangible entity that takes form from death energy. In its unowned state, it is like a malevolent ghost wreaking havoc in the world, driven by killing, and is extremely dangerous.

"Can all the unclaimed gods in the mountain abyss also form contracts?" Yu Sui asked.

“Of course,” Mei Liangyu said. “The reason why people say that the summoning of spirits by the Ghost Daoist is rather sinister and strange is because the summoning of spirits by the Ghost Daoist is the embodiment of controlling death energy.”

Yu Sui: "Since there are many unclaimed gods in the Boundless Abyss, why hasn't Qin Yidong successfully formed a contract with them all these years?"

Mei Liangyu also looked down on Qin Yidong's methods, her words carrying a hint of contempt: "The lowest level of the Ghost Daoist is the eighth realm to form a contract with the spirit, because at the eighth realm of the Ghost Daoist, the control of the soul, the fixation of the spirit, and the seven senses are all formed, so one can detect ghost energy from the seven senses. There are two ways to form a contract. One is to resonate with the death energy in one's own seven sense sea of ​​energy and materialize the contracted spirit."

"This method of forming a bond is more stable and less likely to fail, but the power of the bonded god that can be manifested will not be too strong."

“The unowned god of the Boundless Abyss is born from heaven and earth and is even stronger. Qin Yidong looks down on the god of the Boundless Abyss that was born from his own seven senses, so he tries to steal others.”

Yu Sui suddenly realized: "She doesn't want those who are too weak, and she can't snatch those who are too strong."

"The deans will set up barriers for unowned gods with strength comparable to or above the thirteenth realm to prevent them from escaping the Abyss of No Return. During the Hundred Families Night Walk, at least one unowned god above the thirteenth realm will be released."

Mei Liangyu said, "Qin Yidong came here specifically for this divine covenant."

"Can she handle something above the thirteenth realm?" Yu Sui asked with some doubt.

"Didn't she call a bunch of helpers?" Mei Liangyu snorted. "Use Su Jichun to pave the way, eliminate others first to reduce the number of opponents, and then bring a bunch of rare weapons and treasures to assist. The people of Qingyun Society also split into two groups: Su Xingchao went to find the fragments, and Pu Heng helped Qin Yidong obtain the God of Contract. If that still doesn't work, Qin Yidong will never need to step into the Abyss of No Return again in his life."

Yu Sui looked down and found that Ren Gui had written that Pu Heng had indeed helped Qin Yidong in the Wujian Mountain Abyss.

Qin Yidong was well-prepared and determined to win this time.

Yu Sui wasn't in the mood to compete for the unclaimed divine contract right now. She was still thinking about the fragments of the Floating Pagoda. Although Sheng Fei had deduced the location hidden in the ancient inscription, the Abyss of No Return was quite large. Where could they find it?

"Senior brother, let's go to the Weak Water Green Mud first." Yu Sui returned the Listening Wind Ruler to Mei Liangyu.

"Why don't we kill Gu Gan first?" Mei Liangyu said sarcastically.

Yu Sui said, "The Ruoshui Qingni is a place where death energy gathers. The corpse energy mentioned in the inscription may also be death energy. I wonder if it is possible that the fragments are hidden inside."

“Then you may be disappointed,” Mei Liangyu said.

Yu Sui asked again, "Are you going to find the Weak Water Green Mud again to destroy the world?"

Mei Liangyu: "I won't take you with me when I do this kind of thing."

Yu Sui stared at him without saying a word.

Mei Liangyu glanced at the message sent by Ren Gui, then played with the Listening Wind Ruler with his long fingers and said indifferently, "I want to find the past related to Master in the Weak Water Green Mud. In that river full of death energy, there are many corpses and bones. The dead ghost Taoist sorcerers all take pride in their corpses sinking into the green mud and returning to the death energy."

"There was a body that looked familiar to me."

Yu Sui said with a strange expression, "Senior brother, the skeletons all look pretty much the same."

Mei Liangyu said, "I need to go and confirm it."

"Could that corpse be Master?" Yu Sui asked.

People know very little about the Sage Chang Gen, or rather, they know nothing about him. No one knows his face, his figure, his name, or his life story.

Mei Liangyu remained silent for a while before softly replying, "Perhaps."

Because the corpse felt very familiar and dear to him.

When his master banished him from the Weak Water Green Mud, Mei Liangyu unintentionally turned around and saw that the wisp of ink in the mud and among millions of corpses transformed into a delicate and ethereal figure that stopped in front of a corpse, slowly sat down cross-legged, and looked down.

Dong Lanxun once told him about the Sage Chang Gen.

Because Dong Lanxun grew up on Taiyi Water Boat, often went to Mechanical Island, and even trained at Taiyi Academy.

From another perspective, Chang Gen Sheng Zhe can be said to have watched Dong Lan Xun grow up.

However, he doesn't get along with someone like Dong Lanxun, who appears gentle and proper on the surface but whose thoughts are unfathomable.

Mei Liangyu recalled that her father never seemed to show the slightest reverence when mentioning his master.

Yu Sui stood up and said, "Then it's settled. Let's go find the Weak Water Green Mud first."

She was also very interested in her master's past.

Master seems to have no ambitions beyond the Six Kingdoms, yet she's willing to help Nangong Ming while standing on the opposite side of the Strange Flame. If they could figure out Master's secret, things would be much easier for both her and Mei Liangyu.

The two got up and left the dining hall. Mei Liangyu planned to go back to the dormitory to get some things.

Yu Sui accompanied him, and to prevent them from being seen fighting and wasting time, Yu Sui also made Mei Liangyu wear a black windbreaker robe.

Since the start of the Hundred Families Night Parade, the people from the Mechanical Families have been the busiest, patching things up all over the academy, especially the dormitories. The doors and dragon ladders of the dormitories are 100% damaged, and the people from the four Mechanical Families are busy repairing doors and windows every day.

The door to Mei Liangyu's dormitory was broken in the previous fight, and there was no time to apply for repairs. When he returned, he found that the doors and windows had been repaired.

He thought it was Wen Yangxiu who kindly took care of him and fixed the doors and windows, until Mei Liangyu opened the door and went in, and bumped into Wei Ren standing in the main room about to boil water, Wan Qi sitting at the table holding an empty cup and sighing, and Ji Meng who was tied up and lying on the ground twisting wildly.

Mei Liangyu: "..."

Ji Meng was taken aback at first, then his eyes lit up when he saw Yu Sui standing in front of the door. Yu Sui made intermittent cries for help through her mouth, which was stuffed with a strip of cloth, and her face turned red.

Wan Qi was stunned.

Wei Ren was also stunned. He didn't know whether to put down the water bottle or pick it up again. In his embarrassment, he could only manage to say dryly, "Why didn't you say you were coming back?"

Mei Liangyu entered the room and looked Wei Ren up and down, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Yu Sui closed the door behind her, walked around Ji Meng, and asked Wan Qi, "Why are you tying him up?"

Wan Qi hurriedly stood up and followed the girl, whispering, "He's having another episode. We have to tie him up, or he'll tear the whole building apart."

Yu Sui squatted down, waved her hand in front of Ji Meng's eyes, and called out, "Ji Meng?"

Although Ji Meng didn't know what she meant, he nodded frantically, indicating that I am Ji Meng and that she should save me.

Yu Sui asked, "Do you remember what you did when you had your attack?"

Ji Meng paused, shook his head, and looked somewhat confused and helpless.

Yu Sui removed the cloth strip, and Ji Meng opened his mouth urgently, saying, "What illness? I'm not sick! They're just making things up! Don't believe them!"

“Brother Gu told me,” Yu Sui said with a slight smile. “Is what he said true?”

Gu Gan?

Ji Meng felt a pang of pain, a stinging sensation of betrayal from his good brother, and an indescribable sense of powerlessness and anger.

"Impossible! Impossible!" Ji Meng's breathing became rapid, and his eyes reddened. "I'm really not sick! It's just a mental disorder caused by my daily drug testing!"

"Don't agitate him. He's been in a bad mental state lately and could easily go crazy." After Wan Qi finished speaking, Yu Sui put the cloth back on him, and Wan Qi also squatted down to give Ji Meng acupuncture, letting him calmly faint.

Mei Liangyu ignored their kidnapping of Ji Meng, gave Wei Ren a meaningful look, and then walked straight past him to go back to her room to get her things.

Wei Ren gritted his teeth, feeling inexplicably that he had lost out to Mei Liangyu, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

Wei Ren was not surprised to see Mei Liangyu and Nangong Sui appear together.

Today, Wei Ren felt that Mei Liangyu seemed to have changed from before, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

Perhaps one should look at a person with new eyes after three days of separation; this bastard has improved his level again!

Wei Ren came to Yu Sui's side and explained the current situation to her.

The three of them were brought out of the Lake of the Dead by the medical sage Jiang Shulan. Gu Gan was unconscious, so no one could save Ji Meng. Wei Ren and Wan Qi then kidnapped Ji Meng and tried to figure out the strange things about him.

Wan Qi told Yu Sui the results of his observation over the past month: "We first call Ji Meng's madness 'body beastification.' At this time, he seems to have no self-awareness and does not retain any memories of the beastification period. When he finally comes to his senses, he remembers nothing."

“But after the beast transformation, the five elements of Ji Meng’s energy also changed. It was refined and cleansed, removing all impurities, like new energy born from this body.” Wan Qi pondered for a moment and said, “It changed from energy with a master to energy without a master.”

Yu Suiming stared intently at Wan Qi.

"Unowned aura?"

Wan Qi pointed at Ji Meng and said, "In medical terms, the qi that leaks out of a person's body can eventually return to heaven and earth and be given to all things, and can be called ownerless qi."

"And because the Qi of no master is without a master, it can take any form. In the words of a sorcerer, it can materialize any of the nine schools of magic."

Mei Liangyu came out of the house and happened to hear Wan Qi say this: "If what you said is true, and someone used Ji Meng to test medicine, then I guess their purpose is to find a way to control the Qi of No Master, so that they can practice all kinds of arts without being limited by talent."

After hearing this, everyone in the room looked at Mei Liangyu in unison.

Mei Liangyu said calmly, "I don't rely on this method to learn the arts of various schools."

Yu Sui thought to herself, "I am, but I'm not so heartless as to use living people as test subjects. Besides, the Ji family's experiment doesn't seem very reliable."

Wan Qi had expected them to be shocked, but everyone seemed quite calm, which made him scratch his head and wonder if he was just too inexperienced.

In the past, Wei Ren would have been shocked, but ever since he learned that the Five Elements Light Core in his body belonged to Nangong Sui, he felt that there should be no more heaven-defying Nine-Rank Technique in the world.

If you can even replace the Five Elements Light Core, why would you be afraid of not being able to master the arts of a hundred schools?

Furthermore, if Ji Meng wanted to refine the Qi of No Man, he would have to make himself look neither human nor ghost, while Nangong Sui's Five Elements Light Core would be much safer and more stable.

"Are you still going to study him?" Yu Sui asked Wan Qi.

Wan Qi hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "There are still some strange things."

“Then let’s take him with us.” Yu Sui stared at the unconscious Ji Meng. “But we have to find a way to make him come with us willingly.”

Wei Ren interjected, "He's Gu Gan's good brother, is that even possible?"

Yu Sui turned to look at him, "Everyone else can use phantom beasts to control their actions, can't you?"

Wei Ren: "..."

Mei Liangyu casually chimed in from the side, "He can't do it. He's a psychologically fragile person. He can't use magical beasts to control others because he's timid and afraid of being attacked."

Wei Ren cursed inwardly and said in a booming voice, "Of course I can do it!"
