Chapter 206 Dean Wu was deceived
Nian Qiuyan was the first to notify Yu Sui, but he couldn't go to see Yu Sui in person halfway through, as that would cause trouble for both of them. He had already delayed as much as possible in the matter of finding Wei Ren.
After Li Jinshuang emerged from the military trials, she learned that Gu Gan had discovered Wei Ren's theft of the Pagoda fragments and was currently searching for him throughout the academy. She immediately notified Yu Sui.
Because Li Jinshuang had previously been in contact with Wei Ren, Xun Zhiya approached her to inquire about Wei Ren's whereabouts, leaving Li Jinshuang unable to immediately go to find Yu Sui.
Xue Mushi was also unable to receive the news in time because of the trial.
They are usually busy with their own things.
Although Xue Mushi was concerned about Yu Sui's condition, he knew that she could only rest properly during the day, so he did not disturb her and waited to find her in the evening.
When Yu Sui woke up, it was just after nightfall. The room was dim, and the light from the Listening Wind Ruler reflected off her face, making her look pale.
After quickly browsing the messages within the Listening Wind Ruler, Yu Sui got up to wash her face, and her mind began to work.
Wei Ren is not at the academy.
He would usually go to the farmhouse instructor Gong Lesheng to learn about poison and gu. Because he was too arrogant when he first came to Taiyi, he offended many of his peers. Later, his cultivation was crippled, and he was bullied a lot. To avoid trouble, he rarely went to the study hall to listen to the lectures with most people.
Most importantly, Gong Lesheng was also willing to teach him privately.
Wei Ren not only received treatment and practiced cultivation under Gong Lesheng's guidance, but also kept track of news about the Breath of Earth and kept the fragments of the Floating Pagoda and the Heavenly Script in his heart.
Although Yu Sui didn't pay much attention to him, Wei Ren persisted, reporting all the information he had gathered to Yu Sui on the Listening Wind Ruler, along with his own speculations.
Sometimes, when his guesses were too outrageous, Yu Sui would reply with a question mark.
Yu Sui often didn't bother to read Wei Ren's biography because he talked too much nonsense.
At this moment, Yu Sui finished reading all the messages Wei Ren had sent, and her delicate brows furrowed.
This kid actually went to the outer city to investigate the Orchid Poison.
Wei Ren did indeed keep in mind everything Yu Sui told him. At the same time, because Yu Sui was unwilling to explain too much to him, Wei Ren became more and more curious. So, he would do whatever she asked him to do.
Yu Sui had asked Wei Ren about the Lan poison and Xuan Kui before, but he hadn't said that Wei Ren should investigate Xuan Kui.
Wei Ren accidentally discovered a corpse in the outer city who was addicted to orchid poison. Before coming to Taiyi, he had done a lot of dirty and hard work for Ji Shuyan and had come into contact with such people.
So Wei Ren left the academy this morning, deciding to follow this orchid-like corpse to gather information.
Yu Sui sent a telepathic message to Wei Ren, but no one answered.
This is not good.
Wei Ren wouldn't refuse unless he was too busy.
At this moment, he is either being chased or has already been captured.
Yu Sui put away the Wind Listening Ruler and walked out. Just as she stepped out, she received a notice from the college that there would be a dormitory check that night.
The deep, serious voice of the instructor from the Thirteen Realms resounded throughout the entire academy, announcing a random dormitory inspection tonight. The students' listening scales also began to vibrate, indicating that they had received a dormitory inspection notice issued by the Communication Academy.
This time, it wasn't her arrangement.
Yu Sui glanced at the document quickly, but didn't stop. He walked straight towards the Dragon Ladder against the flow of people in the corridor and went to the first floor of the dormitory.
The lobby and corridors on the first floor of the dormitory were packed with people. As soon as Yu Sui stepped off the dragon staircase, she heard someone say, "This was sealed off way too quickly! What happened this time?"
"Could it be the World Destroyer?"
"It's quite possible. Last time it was the Milky Way Water, and this time, as soon as the Six Kingdoms' Beacon of the World announced the news of the World Destroyer, we investigated the place and even led people to block the place in advance."
"Is it the World Destroyer?"
"pretty close."
"Who is the destroyer of the world?"
"..."
Rumors began circulating among the academy disciples that the Saint Chashe was there tonight to find the Destroyer of the World.
Once the topic is swayed, people will believe that this is the truth.
Ignoring the doubts and discussions of others, Yu Sui squeezed through the crowd to the front and saw a large group of thirteenth-realm instructors outside, as well as several academy saints guarding the gate of the dormitory.
The renowned scholar Zhu Lao and the farmer Ou Rushuang are both present.
They are definitely not investigating the World Destroyer; they probably want to extract information from Wei Ren, keep those who cooperate with Wei Ren in the academy, and wait for Wei Ren to confess so they can pinpoint the target.
Yu Sui's last action offended both Elder Zhu, who was searching for fragments of the Floating Pagoda, and Ou Rushuang, who was in Xuan Kui.
Both factions now want to find the mysterious person hiding behind the Wind Listening Ruler.
Because Yu Sui triggered the Fire Spirit Orb repeatedly last night, her soul was weak and she was in a deep sleep to recuperate. She did not spare the time to control her soul and keep an eye on Nian Qiuyan, which is why she did not receive the message in time today.
She walked forward, attracting the attention of the teachers as she headed outside: "Oh dear! The dormitory is sealed off; we can't go out for the time being!"
Yu Sui raised her hand and said, "I have something very important to do!"
The instructor asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"
Yu Sui's beautiful and delicate face is very deceptive, especially when she pretends to be obedient, which makes her look pitiful.
"It's very important, and we can't let so many people hear it." Yu Sui looked up at the instructor, half anxious and half helpless. She said, "I'll tell you quietly."
The Yin-Yang School instructor actually leaned closer.
Yu Sui reached out to cover her mouth and whispered in his ear, "Dean Wu of the Yin-Yang School wants me to bring her something. It's urgent and very important. If you don't believe me, you can ask Dean Wu first."
Instructor Xia glanced at her; she looked so well-behaved that she showed no sign of misbehaving or lying. Half-believing, half-doubting, he actually went to contact Wu Huaiwei.
Wu Huaiwei was stargazing on Moon Mountain when she received a telepathic message from a fellow instructor. After ringing several times, she impatiently answered, "Speak."
Instructor Xia asked, "Dean, are you aware that there will be a dormitory check tonight?"
"Do I need to know this kind of thing?" Wu Huaiwei stood on the stargazing platform, looking up at the distant night sky.
Instructor Xia explained, "It's like this, the dormitories are currently sealed off, and the students inside can't go out. But one student said that you asked her to bring you something, which is very important and urgent."
Wu Huaiwei narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "What's this student's name?"
They actually dared to try and fool her.
Instructor Xia replied, "He is a disciple of the Ghost Daoist School, Nangong Sui."
Upon hearing this, Wu Huaiwei's mood instantly improved.
This young girl knows that her master is away recently, and she still takes the initiative to find an opportunity to see her. That's very good.
"Let her come over," Wu Huaiwei said happily.
After receiving confirmation from Wu Huaiwei, Instructor Xia let Yu Sui leave.
The other disciples who had been watching the two of them cheered loudly when they saw Yu Sui being released. Instructor Xia, without changing his expression, turned around, pointed at them, and also cheered.
After being allowed to leave by Instructor Xia, Yu Sui did not run towards the Yin Yang School, but instead used the Wind Riding Technique to rush out of the academy against the flow of people.
Based on Wei Ren's location as seen by Yu Sui on the Wind-Listening Ruler, it can be tentatively determined that he is near the deserted island outside the city. That area is a desolate wasteland, without villages or inhabitants, but wild animals do roam there.
Last time, when the Saint swept through the Lan Poison Organization in the outer city, the deserted island was also affected.
The sea around this deserted island is quite dangerous. After nightfall, the waves are high and turbulent, and the five elements are in chaos. It's only slightly better than the abyss sea on the mechanical island. You never know when the raging waves will destroy everything, so it's not suitable for living.
Wei Ren's position shifted rapidly at times and remained still at others.
The location of Zhang Xiangyun and Gu Gan's wind-listening rulers was displayed in the dormitory, but Yu Sui knew that they had simply placed the wind-listening rulers in the dormitory.
Gu Gan learned his lesson from his experience and became smarter.
Yu Sui could only judge whether Wei Ren had been captured by Zhang Xiangyun or Gu Gan by observing Wei Ren's position. Judging from the fact that he hadn't replied to the message, his situation must be very difficult.
She could only speed up and get there as quickly as possible.
Wei Ren's current situation is indeed not good; in fact, it can be described as very bad.
He was watching Lan's corpse that morning. The man was emaciated and his breathing was very chaotic. At first, he squatted at the door like a fool, staring blankly. As his consciousness gradually returned, he began to sniff frantically around, and lay on the ground with a ferocious expression, breathing in the places where Jinsha had stayed.
This is the same as the people who had experienced the onset of orchid poisoning that Wei Ren had seen before.
When this person can no longer hold back, he will go to the person who supplied him before.
The man was staggering due to the effects of the orchid poison, falling every few steps. Wei Ren used all his patience before he saw the man enter a dilapidated manor.
Just as he was about to follow them inside, he received a message from Li Jinshuang, who had taken the time to send him a message informing him that Fang Jijia had divined that he had stolen the fragments.
The moment Wei Ren saw the message, his mind went blank, and upon further reflection, his scalp tingled with fear.
Why didn't Nangong Sui perform the divination avoidance technique?
Nian Qiuyan had already delayed as much as possible, and the divination results were always a step behind Wei Ren's, giving him a chance.
After making two incorrect divinations, Nian Qiuyan simply spread his hands, indicating that he had used up all three of his divinations for the day.
However, even without Nian Qiuyan, there was still Zhang Xiangyun. He showed no mercy, and with each move, he caught Wei Ren on the outer city street.
