Chapter 430 is possible

When Yu Sui regained consciousness, she heard the child muttering and asking if they should add more blankets for her. Han Ziyang asked why, and the child said it was because her complexion looked bad and she looked cold.

"She won't die, get out of here." Han Ziyang shooed the child away, then glanced unconsciously at the person on the bed, only to meet a pair of dark eyes.

"...Awake?" Han Ziyang was startled.

Yu Sui's eyes were lifeless, and she closed them again.

"Is she awake?" Han Yin leaned closer again, but Han Ziyang pushed him away with one hand.

Yu Sui then opened her eyes and saw that Han Yin was wrapped up like a mummy, with only his dark eyes showing. She was immediately amused.

Her smile drew the attention of both Han Yin and Han Ziyang.

The sound of rain hitting the roof echoed through the room, and the girl's muffled laughter resonated with the sound of the rain, creating an eerily beautiful sound.

Han Ziyang reached out and patted Han Yin's head, then pushed him away. Turning back, he heard Yu Sui ask, "What time is it?"

"Around 5 a.m.." Han Ziyang sent Han Yin out, and when he came back, he brought her a bowl of medicine. "Drink it."

"What medicine?" Yu Sui stood up and glanced at it.

"A medicine to replenish qi and cultivate the soul," Han Ziyang replied, then asked her, puzzled, "Would I give you poison?"

"Maybe." Yu Sui took the medicine bowl and examined it.

Han Ziyang gave a slight smirk, stood by the window, pushed it open and looked outside: "I've taken care of those corpses all over the ground for you. The Nangong family won't be able to find you for a while."

"How was it handled?" Yu Sui asked.

"Burn them." Han Ziyang crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, squinting at Yu Sui. "What kind of low-level technique did you use to kill them? Logically speaking, you shouldn't have been able to survive from so many people."

"A strange fire," Yu Sui murmured, gazing at the pitch-black potion. "Is there any ninth-class technique in this world more powerful than a strange fire?"

Han Ziyang frowned, thinking she was joking: "Didn't you say that if you can't control the strange fire, you'll burn yourself up too?"

"You'll know what I mean once you've used it once." Yu Sui took a sip from the bowl.

Han Ziyang said, "So your hands were burned by the strange fire?"

Yu Sui paused, raised her left hand to look at it, which was wrapped tightly in bandages. She tore off the bandages and saw that the skin and flesh had been burned away, leaving only the blackened skeleton of her five fingers.

"Why don't I feel anything at all?" she murmured.

"Because we gave you painkillers, do you think your hand can grow back?" Han Ziyang had been through all sorts of dangers, but even he found this scene chilling.

Yu Sui looked at her left hand over and over, then suddenly opened it, revealing a small red flame in her dark palm.

Han Ziyang, who had been leaning against the wall in a relaxed posture, was startled and his face turned wary: "What are you doing?!"

“I could only make it manifest when I was a child.” Yu Sui stared at the flames and said in a hoarse voice, “Later, I became stronger, and it also became stronger, so I could no longer summon it at will. Now that its power has been suppressed by the Yin-Yang Pisces, it has become weaker, and I can summon it again.”

Han Ziyang remained vigilant: "What does it mean to be able to summon a different kind of fire?"

“This means it’s temporarily weakened, and I can use its power. The burden is reduced, and it might only burn one hand instead of burning me up completely.” Yu Sui brought the flame in his palm close to his eyes. “It will probably take about 80 to 90% of my power to control it. I had to use the Reverse Star and Counter-Pole technique to create double power to kill those twelve people instantly.”

Han Ziyang, influenced by what she said, couldn't help but look down at his palm. He wanted to try summoning the strange fire as Yu Sui had said, but after gathering his energy and concentrating for a long time, he only felt a slight burning sensation in his palm.

He could only gaze at the tiny flame hidden deep within his soul.

Unable to figure it out, Han Ziyang immediately gave up and looked back at Yu Sui: "You know Zhao Yuxiang?"

“I know him, but I didn’t know he was Zhao Yuxiang.” Yu Sui answered calmly, telling Han Ziyang how she met Elder Yan. “He would teach me some knowledge, and I would give him the convenience of the Wind Listening Ruler. He would help me make money, and I would give him the information I wanted.”

Han Ziyang sized her up: "You also helped Zhao Yuxiang kidnap children?"

“I don’t care about any of that,” Yu Sui said, “but I won’t just stand by and watch you kill him.”

Han Ziyang didn't say anything.

Yu Sui didn't care what Han Ziyang was thinking at this moment. After a moment of silence, Han Ziyang said, "For the sake of you saving A Yin, I won't tell Gongsun Qi about your relationship with Zhao Yuxiang."

Anyway, this is their own business, and Han Ziyang is too lazy to get involved or waste his brainpower.

“It’s okay if you say it,” Yu Sui said.

"Shortly after the empathy ended, Gongsun Qi emerged from the armored formation with Zhongli Ci severely injured. Now everyone is looking for where he is hiding." Han Ziyang stroked his chin. "I came to find you at the time, but I didn't see him break out of the formation with my own eyes. But since he was able to severely injure Zhongli Ci, it seems that Gongsun Qi is still a cut above the rest."

Yu Sui said, "He can also enhance his Nine Streams Techniques with the help of strange fire."

Han Ziyang glanced at her, pointed at himself, and said, "Do I have to use a different kind of fire like you before I can get to this point?"

"Probably," Yu Sui shook his head and re-bandaged his hand. "Those twelve people combined can be considered as two saints. Since they used the strange fire once, they had to pay off a significant portion of their power. They can try again later."

"I need to rest some more." Yu Sui handed him the bowl of medicine.

Han Ziyang didn't understand: "Who do you want to fight again? If I were you, I would take this opportunity to leave Qingyang, and then we'd be far away from the emperor."

"If you want to leave Qingyang, I can actually help you keep the news hidden."

“I’m leaving, but I have to take the Breath of Earth with me,” Yu Sui said.

Han Ziyang then understood: "You want to go back and kill your... Madam Su?"

Yu Sui looked back quietly: "Is that not allowed?"

"That's outrageous," Han Ziyang said. "No one's stopping you, but you have to think about the consequences. If you really kill her and take back the Breath Soil, how will you face the Royal Palace and the Prince's Mansion?"

He had something else he didn't say, because Han Ziyang also doubted whether the Xirang, which had been split in two in this way, could really be restored.

Han Ziyang gazed at the girl's quiet profile, weak yet aloof, a stark contrast to the lively and bright girl he had first met. Although he didn't want to meddle, he couldn't help but offer suggestions:

"While none of them know your whereabouts now, quietly leave the capital, and then..."

Yu Sui: "Half a piece of Xirang has imposed too many restrictions on me. It competes with me for the five elements, which makes it impossible for me to cultivate. My master also sealed my Kun Gen power because of this, so my Star Sea cannot be perfected, I cannot refine the Yin Yang Pisces, and therefore I cannot better suppress the strange fire."

Han Ziyang: "..."

You have quite a few extraordinary treasures inside you.

"Then why didn't you act sooner?" Han Ziyang asked.

Yu Sui looked at him slowly, her gaze silent and calm.

Han Ziyang understood: "That's right. It's his own mother he wants to kill. Anyone would hesitate and wouldn't be able to do it until the very last moment."

Blood ties are strange things. Han Ziyang is not Yu Sui. Without experiencing those eighteen years of days and nights, he can never empathize with her thoughts and actions.

In other words, how could someone who isn't inherently cold-blooded and indifferent be unmoved by such a thing? The laws and customs of the world would not allow such a thing to happen, and once such behavior crosses the line, one would be branded as worse than an animal.

Look at Gongsun Qi. He was raised by the very woman who had wiped out his family, Empress Dowager Zhao. The debt of gratitude for her upbringing bound him, preventing him from ultimately killing her. Instead, he chose to leave the State of Yan.

Between Madam Su and Yu Sui, there was both the debt of giving birth to her and the debt of raising her. The outside world did not know the details of the relationship between Yu Sui and Madam Su, so they would only think that as a daughter, killing her own mother for survival was an unacceptable and despicable act.

Han Ziyang thought to himself, if she really went back and killed Madam Su, the conflict would escalate, and it would probably be difficult for her to leave. Just as he was about to try to persuade her, he suddenly sensed someone approaching.

Yu Sui and he both looked towards the door at the same time. Han Ziyang had already made a hand seal and was ready, but the person outside politely knocked on the door: "Nangong Sui? Mr. Han?"

It was Situ Jin's voice.

Before anyone could answer, the door was blown open by a gust of wind, and Gongsun Qi and his two companions stood at the doorway looking inside.

When Ah Quan met Han Ziyang's surprised gaze, he opened his palm, revealing a small golden ball, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Han, I secretly left a tracking ball with you when you left."

Gongsun Qi then threw the Wind-Listening Ruler in his hand at Yu Sui: "He thought you were dead and was making a fuss about coming to Qingyang."

Yu Sui lowered her eyes and picked up the Wind Listening Ruler, hearing Mei Liangyu's voice: "Sui Sui?"

"Senior brother," she replied softly, "I'm not dead yet."

“I shouldn’t have believed you could do it alone,” Mei Liangyu said in a tense tone. “I’ve already reached the Sishui River through the sea eye.”

We have already entered Qingyang territory.

Yu Sui looked up in astonishment and asked Gongsun Qi, "What did you say to him?"

Gongsun Qi said in a flat tone, "He couldn't find you, so he asked me through telepathy. I just told him the truth: you might be dead."

Yu Sui: "..."

Mei Liangyu confirmed the truth with Gongsun Qi twice, and Gongsun Qi said that the only person who could have triggered the empathy at that time was Yu Sui, and that the fire spirit orb was extinguished as soon as it was lit, which meant that he died too quickly and did not even have time to give his last words.

Gongsun Qi's words made Mei Liangyu so anxious that he forgot he could ask the mountain spirit. He beat up everyone who tried to stop him and even sent a message to Qingyang through the sea.

"Senior brother, don't worry, I'm fine." As soon as Yu Sui finished speaking, Mei Liangyu laughed in exasperation, "You say you're fine?"

Yu Sui paused for a moment, then said softly, "Okay, I have something to do. I'm going to kill them all."

Han Ziyang, Gongsun Qi, and the others had already left when Yu Sui uttered his first words.

Yu Sui said to Mei Liangyu, "Senior brother, I'm tired. After I've killed everyone and obtained the Breath Soil, can you give up everything and leave with me?"

Mei Liangyu answered without hesitation, "Yes."

Yu Sui slowly clenched the Wind Listening Ruler with his five fingers, slightly opened his mouth, but made no sound.

“Yu Sui, I said yes.” Mei Liangyu repeated again, “I can give up everything and leave with you.”

She loved Mei Liangyu, so she wanted Mei Liangyu to give up everything except herself.

When they parted ways on the dragon carriage, they pretended to consider each other's feelings, thinking that the other had things more important than themselves, so they acted understanding and smiled silently to show that they could understand and let go.

But are you really willing to accept this?

The sound of the torrential rain outside seemed to be right next to Yu Sui's ears, so clear and violent. But after receiving Mei Liangyu's answer without hesitation, the world suddenly fell silent.

Yu Sui looked at her left hand, which was wrapped in bandages, and heard her own voice say, "Okay."
