Chapter 113 Mei Liangyu, keep your hands in line
Zhang Xiangyun reached up and touched his neck, looking at Mei Liangyu with amusement: "You're so blatantly using golden lightning to hit people, you don't want to get points deducted and sent to the mechanical island again, do you?"
Mei Liangyu didn't answer, but merely lifted her eyelids slightly, looking at him arrogantly.
Nian Qiuyan played with the broken wooden talisman in her hand and said gently, "The one who strikes first will only have points deducted."
Zhang Xiangyun shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, it's not my sacred wooden slip."
The manager of the dining hall knocked on the window, poked his head out, and called out, "This is what Kong Yiyi ordered!"
“This.” Nian Qiuyan tossed the divine wooden slip in her hand into the air and reached past Zhang Xiangyun and Luo Fu to grab the food box.
The wooden divination sticks, thrown into the air, made a sizzling sound. Two golden lines, visible to the naked eye, collided, and the broken wooden sticks overlapped again. The golden lines twisted into a symbol, returning the heavy pressure divination array that Zhang Xiangyun had just used on Mei Liangyu to him.
Zhang Xiangyun glanced back with his dark eyes, then swept over Nian Qiuyan who had walked away from him. He reached out and grabbed the floating divine wooden talisman, shattering it completely.
The two disciples of the Fangji school seemed to be able to complete the divination and formation in the blink of an eye.
The manager of the dining hall reminded them, "This is a place to eat, not a place to fight."
Nian Qiuyan smiled and nodded: "You're right."
He turned around and winked at Mei Liangyu, who was about to beat someone up.
Mei Liangyu then walked past Zhang Xiangyun and continued forward.
Zhang Xiangyun wasn't interested in the girls' argument in front of him, and turned to Luo Fu, saying, "Let's go, I'm not in the mood to eat."
After watching the two leave the dining hall, Nian Qiuyan turned around and followed Mei Liangyu.
Ignoring the men fighting behind him, Gu Gan walked straight towards Yu Sui and the others, frowning as he asked, "What are you doing?"
He looked at Yu Sui, whom he hadn't seen for many days, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was alright and had no injuries.
Gu Gan stepped forward and naturally stood next to Yu Sui.
"Brother Gu." Qian Ying called out, biting her lip. Seeing that Gu Gan only raised an eyebrow slightly, she obediently dispelled her protective aura and said in a low voice, "I only had a small argument with Senior Sister Kong, but the princess slapped Sister Shu."
Yu Sui hit someone, which surprised Gu Gan. He softened his voice and said, "Sui Sui."
Shu Chujun is Xun Zhiya's man, so it was indeed inappropriate to hit Shu Chujun in front of Xun Zhiya.
"She started it by being sarcastic. I was eating peacefully here, and she had to come over and say all sorts of nonsense." Yu Sui turned to look at Gu Gan, her watery eyes shining. She looked angry, but also seemed genuinely heartbroken. "Even buying Li Jinshuang a dress is my fault. What's the logic behind Shu Chujun's words? She just hates me, and so does Qian Ying."
Before Qian Ying could explain, Yu Sui interrupted, "Qian Ying dislikes me because of Third Brother's matter, but she doesn't live with me, so I can tolerate that. But Shu Chujun and I share a dormitory and see each other all day long. When I try to talk to her, she and Xun Zhiya ignore me. Only Li Jinshuang talks to me, but Shu Chujun tells Li Jinshuang not to play with me."
Yu Sui's eyes were moist, as if there were tears glistening in them. She lowered her head slightly, her voice very low: "Brother Gu, in the past at the National Academy, I was a sorcerer, so it was understandable that I was isolated by others. But now I am also a low-level sorcerer. I get angry when they isolate me and make sarcastic remarks."
Gu Gan's heart trembled at her words, and his gaze softened. He didn't care who started the fight at all, and even felt a bit guilty, blaming himself for not discovering Yu Sui's grievances sooner.
Kong Yiyi, watching from the side, felt a pang of sympathy. Hearing Yu Sui's words and seeing her tearful eyes, she empathized with the grievances in her words and wanted to stand up for her.
Shu Chujun was horrified. Her voice trembled with anger as she cried out, "Nangong Sui, what nonsense are you spouting! I didn't..."
"Brother Gu, if you think I did something wrong, you can have her hit me back." Yu Sui looked up at Gu Gan, but her eyes held a stubbornness that suggested she hadn't done anything wrong, which made her seem even more aggrieved and pitiful.
Shu Chujun screamed inwardly, "This woman pretending to be innocent and weak!"
She angrily retorted, "Fine, then let me fight back!"
In a fit of anger, Shu Chujun took a step forward, only to be intimidated by Gu Gan's cold glare as he turned to look at her. Qian Ying reached out and stopped Shu Chujun, knowing that if Shu Chujun really tried to fight back, Gu Gan would also take action.
Gu Gan stood in front of Yu Sui, coldly watching Shu Chujun, who was about to retaliate in anger.
Shu Chujun angrily pointed at Gu Gan: "You believe whatever she says?"
Gu Gan said, "Yes."
Shu Chujun continued angrily, "Nangong Sui is exaggerating at all. It's not as exaggerated as she said!"
Gu Gan replied, "Then what Sui Sui said is true."
Kong Yiyi pressed her sword, which was only a few inches from its sheath, back down and said to Yu Sui, "Don't live with them anymore. Go live with me, and let's see who dares to bully you then."
Mei Liangyu and Nian Qiuyan had already arrived, but they stood at a distance, not too close, so as not to disturb them. Upon hearing Kong Yiyi's words, Nian Qiuyan couldn't help but lower her head and smile.
Yu Sui glanced quickly at Mei Liangyu, who was standing slightly behind, and saw that he was also looking at her with a leisurely expression and a half-smile in his eyes.
Mei Liangyu thought to himself, "This is really strange. My junior sister actually started the fight."
Look at her eyes shimmering with tears, her expression one of grievance and sadness. Just one glance at her would make you think everyone else is truly despicable, and you would feel an urge to make all those who annoy and disgust you disappear.
Mei Liangyu patiently watched her feign affection and manipulate others.
“Brother Gu, I won’t make things difficult for you. I’ll move out on my own and not live with her anymore.” Yu Sui said in a muffled voice, “I can convince myself that it’s because I’m not familiar with Shu Chujun, but even Qian Ying is like this… plus Wen Yanghui’s matter, the people around you will only dislike me more and more. I won’t cause you any trouble.”
Qian Ying never expected to stumble like this. What she feared most was that her actions would anger Gu Gan, so she looked at Gu Gan with some anxiety.
“Sui Sui, you’re mistaken. Wen Yanghui dragged you into this and seriously injured you. It’s Wen Yanghui’s fault. His death has nothing to do with you.” Gu Gan turned to look at Yu Sui and said seriously, “On the contrary, it was my fault for not being able to stop Wen Yanghui.”
He also noticed Mei Liangyu not far away and thought that this was not a good place to talk, so he lowered his voice and said, "Sui Sui, let's go outside to talk."
Mei Liangyu tilted her head at Nian Qiuyan, who then said loudly, "Yiyi, you can leave now that you have the things."
Kong Yiyi then turned around, but after taking a few steps, she turned back again and said to Yu Sui and Li Jinshuang, "Why don't you two come with me? If we stay any longer, we'll definitely start fighting."
Kong Yiyi's words made Yu Sui openly turn to look at Mei Liangyu.
Mei Liangyu's gaze remained fixed on her. After Yu Sui looked over, he glanced lightly at Gu Gan standing beside her and said unhurriedly, "Junior Sister, Master wants you to come with me to the Ghost Path Holy Hall. Now."
Gu Gan glanced coldly at Mei Liangyu, thinking, "No one would believe such a thing at a time like this."
He was about to retort when he saw Yu Sui walk towards Mei Liangyu. Gu Gan was stunned for a moment, then said urgently, "Sui Sui, he's lying to you."
“Brother Gu.” Yu Sui turned around, looking at him with slightly red eyes, “Let’s talk again when we have time.”
Gu Gan stopped when she turned around and looked back. He was slightly stunned, feeling a moment of confusion and a little unwilling.
After arguing with Sheng Fei that night, Gu Gan also reflected on his actions and realized that he had indeed neglected Yu Sui since she came to Taiyi, which was wrong.
Mei Liangyu saw Yu Sui walking towards her with slightly red eyes. When she reached her, Mei Liangyu stared at her for a moment, then reached out and gently wiped away the corner of her eye, wiping away non-existent tears. Mei Liangyu said seductively, "How pitiful you are. You've been bullied to the point of tears."
Shu Chujun, who was stopped by Qian Ying, was so angry that her eyes almost rolled to the sky. Who was bullying whom? Nangong Sui still had the nerve to cry?!
Gu Gan noticed the veins bulging on his forehead and said coldly, "Mei Liangyu, behave yourself."
Mei Liangyu's gaze swept past Yu Sui and contemptuously toward Gu Gan.
Yu Sui reached out and tugged at his sleeve, without turning around, and whispered, "Senior brother, let's go."
Mei Liangyu then withdrew his gaze and left the dining hall with Yu Sui.
Nian Qiuyan held onto Kong Yiyi, restricting her from frequently turning around to watch the show, and deliberately kept a distance from the two people behind her.
Li Jinshuang didn't leave. She looked at Xun Zhiya, who hadn't said a word, and said in a low voice, "Holy Maiden, may I speak with you in private?"
Shu Chujun said angrily, "What trick are you trying to pull now?"
Xun Zhiya replied, "Alright."
"Holy Maiden!" Shu Chujun tried to stop her, but Xun Zhiya and Li Jinshuang walked outside.
As Xun Zhiya walked past Gu Gan, she glanced up at him. Gu Gan was also looking at her. Their eyes met, but neither of them spoke.
The once bustling dining hall suddenly became deserted.
Qian Ying looked at Gu Gan hesitantly and whispered, "Brother Gu."
Gu Gan glanced at her, then rubbed his temples with a headache. "Are you targeting Sui Sui too?"
Qian Ying shook her head: "No, I was indeed a little wary of the princess because of Sheng Fei, but that's all."
Gu Gan said, "Sheng Fei is Sheng Fei, and Sui Sui is Sui Sui."
Qian Ying bit her lip in distress and lowered her head, saying, "I know, but the princess is clearly now distant from you, Brother Gu. She is closer to Mei Liangyu and her gang."
“She won’t.” Gu Gan looked toward the entrance of the dining hall, his expression cold.
Yu Sui followed behind Mei Liangyu.
After walking for a while, the two parted ways with Nian Qiuyan and Kong Yiyi, and it seemed they were heading in the direction of the Ghost Path Holy Hall.
"Why is Senior Brother here too?" Yu Sui asked from behind.
Mei Liangyu said, "We came with Nian Qiuyan. Kong Yiyi said she would be going back to the dining hall later because Xing Chun is starving and asked us to come and urge her."
He paused after he finished speaking, then turned to look at Yu Sui.
Yu Sui was walking slowly behind, but when she saw him turn around, she stopped and blinked slightly to look over.
At this moment, she appeared relaxed and at ease, her steps light and cheerful, completely devoid of the melancholy and grievances she had felt in the dining hall.
"You change your expression pretty quickly," Mei Liangyu said with a smile.
Yu Sui pointed to herself, her eyes filled with an innocent "What are you talking about?" expression, refusing to admit anything.
When Yu Sui arrived at Mei Liangyu's place, she no longer felt the pressure of pretending.
A few stone lanterns lit up the path at night. Ahead was the gate of the Ghost Path family. There were few people on the road. In the quiet, only the cool night breeze gently blew by.
Mei Liangyu asked, "Why are your eyes red?"
"You'll get it after practicing a few times," Yu Sui said honestly. "To play the victim, you have to look like you're about to cry but aren't. Most people will soften up when they see that, but I can only fool Brother Gu. No one else will soften up for me."
Mei Liangyu's strange competitive spirit: "Why don't you lie to me?"
Yu Sui chuckled, looking at him with amusement in her eyes: "Do I have to pretend to be pitiful to make my senior brother soften his heart towards me?"
“Of course not, you don’t need to pretend and I’ll soften towards you.” Mei Liangyu and Yu Sui continued walking forward in tacit understanding. He heard Yu Sui say, “I only pretend to be pitiful when I’m playing the bad guy.”
Mei Liangyu chuckled softly: "How bad can you be?"
Yu Sui pondered for a moment, then hummed in agreement, drawing out the last syllable before replying, "The evil of murder and arson."
Mei Liangyu glanced at her, reached out and ruffled her hair, and said when Yu Sui looked over, "I knew you wanted to kill me at Three Thousand Crossroads."
Yu Sui's gaze faltered slightly as he said, "Senior Brother."
“This world isn’t all that great to begin with. You can be a little bad if you want, and if you feel threatened by me, you can kill me if you want.” Mei Liangyu withdrew her hand from her hair, turned to look at Yu Sui and said, “It’s because I really do like you.”
Yu Sui remained rooted to the spot, her dark eyes fixed on Mei Liangyu as he walked past her. The memory in her mind was still frozen on the moment their eyes met, the expression on her senior brother's face when he said his last words, which was still reflected deep in her eyes.
That's strange.
Time seemed to slow down considerably, causing her to unconsciously relive the events of the previous moment.
Mei Liangyu took a few steps forward, but seeing no one follow, she turned around and raised an eyebrow at the person standing there. Her long, slightly upturned eyes held a hint of arrogance, as if she was quite satisfied with the effect of her words.
