Chapter 210 Love-Obsessed (x)
Yu Sui used the Five Elements Light Core to protect Wei Ren, firstly to send him away, and secondly to observe the condition of the Light Core within his body.
The sea water split, sending Wei Ren towards the mountains and rivers, where he unexpectedly encountered Shen Tianxue and Pei Daiqing, who had left the academy.
Yu Sui had heard before that these two agricultural sages were detached from worldly affairs and did not like to meddle in other people's business, but at least they would not stab Wei Ren again, so she still held a glimmer of hope in her heart.
But after hearing the conversation between Shen Tianxue and Pei Daiqing, Yu Sui realized that she had underestimated the two's "indifferent to worldly affairs" attitude.
Shen Tianxue almost pinned Wei Ren to the shore with her scythe.
Fortunately, Yu Sui thought that given their unconventional personalities, they might not be so taboo or hostile towards certain things. Moreover, when Pei Daiqing drove away the scorpion and poisonous insects, she saw a dark shadow on the boat.
It can be confirmed that it is the phantom of the forbidden magic beast of the Farmer's Sect.
So she deliberately activated the phantom beast within Wei Ren's body. Upon seeing this, Shen Tianxue finally reacted differently and changed her mind, deciding to pull Wei Ren up.
Through the Five Elements Light Core, Yu Sui saw Pei Daiqing lift Wei Ren onto the bamboo raft, examine his injuries, apply the herbs from the basket to his wounds, and squeeze some juice for him to drink.
If Wei Ren only relies on the Five Elements Qi provided by the Light Core to replenish his energy, it will only prolong the time before he dies. Yu Sui cannot leave to find him, and even if he were to notify Blackbeard to bring the sorcerers of the Nangong family to find Wei Ren, it would take some time.
Using the sorcerers of the Nangong family would be too easy to expose ourselves.
With Pei Daiqing's help, Wei Ren was spared from death.
“He already has three afterimages at his age.” Pei Daiqing tapped Wei Ren’s forehead with his finger, as if examining some rare object. “He can be considered a prodigy among farmers.”
"What kind of genius is he?" Shen Tianxue glanced over. "There are hundreds of magical techniques in the Farmer's School. The Illusionary Beast technique is just a third-rate technique. People's opinions are terrifying, and public opinion can melt metal. In the end, a third-rate technique was promoted to the representative of the Farmer's School and was even forbidden to be practiced. The ancestors would laugh themselves to death if they heard this."
Pei Daiqing laughed and said, "Ah Xue, that's just how the world is. The side with the loudest voice can turn the fake into the real, and the real into the fake."
Knowing the truth, they became outcasts in the eyes of the world.
"Given that everyone in the outside world believes that cultivating magical beasts should lead to death, it's truly remarkable that he could achieve this level, especially considering he even infiltrated the Taiyi realm. After the light core shattered, the five elements of energy actually..."
Pei Daiqing let out a soft "hmm," placed one hand on Wei Ren's forehead, and probed the power within his body: "It's actually gathering instead of dispersing."
He was unable to probe the Five Elements Light Core within Dao Weiren's body, so he didn't understand why, even when this dying body, and even the poisonous insects and phantom beasts that relied on the Five Elements Qi to exist, were fleeing, the faint remaining Five Elements Qi within this boy's body hadn't dissipated.
“Ah Xue, it seems he really wasn’t meant to die.” Pei Daiqing looked up at Shen Tianxue.
Shen Tianxue stared at Wei Ren for a while, then squinted and said, "Let him wake up first. If we can't get any results from him, we'll dissect him and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Yu Sui was speechless.
Whether Wei Ren will survive is uncertain due to too many variables.
Wan Guiyue, the Legalist saint still in the Uzbek Sea, was influenced by her past memories and stopped on the boardwalk to answer many of Mei Liangyu's questions before leaving.
When she arrived at the deserted island's waters, the waves were still raging, with the wind carrying seawater upwards, forming numerous waterspouts that shot straight into the sky.
Wan Guiyue couldn't find Wei Ren, but she did observe the students fighting on the shore of the deserted island in the distance. However, she didn't go over to them or let them notice her. Instead, she turned around and continued to search for Wei Ren's whereabouts in a more distant place.
After confirming that Wei Ren was temporarily safe, Yu Sui signaled Zou Yexi to leave.
His meddling this time will definitely attract the attention of Xuan Kui's people.
Zou Yexi was engrossed in fighting Gu Gan and the others when he noticed the Wind Listening Ruler hanging on his chest flashing. After creating some distance, he took a moment to look at it and saw the signal to retreat. He exclaimed "Eh!" and said to Gu Gan, "Wait a minute, let me send a message back before we continue fighting."
Gu Gan: "..."
Who listens to you?
Gu Gan gave him no chance at all. The wind blades, which were like slow, slicing through the air, chased after Zou Yexi from all directions, forcing Zou Yexi, who was standing still and listening to the wind, to retreat.
"Hey, you!" Zou Yexi glared at Gu Gan, then threw the staff-blade out. The staff-blade was covered with golden five elements energy, which spun around him at high speed, blocking all the wind blades.
Taking this opportunity, Zou Yexi frantically tapped the crossword grid on the Wind Listening Ruler: "Why are you retreating? I'm really good at this!"
Yu Sui: "Let's go."
Zou Yexi pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, glanced at Gu Gan in the distance, snorted inwardly, and then turned and slipped away decisively.
His advantage is that he is obedient.
When Gu Gan saw that he was about to run away, he tried to stop him, but was stopped by the sorcerer from Star Moon Island, who shouted, "Escort Young Master Zhou away!"
Zou Yexi didn't care about the lives or deaths of these sorcerers. He only focused on running away and would never fight them again. With so many sorcerers blocking his way, Gu Gan couldn't see Zou Yexi's figure for a while and had no choice but to give up.
However, the Dragon Martial Gang turned around and chased after Zou Yexi.
A large group of people came in a hurry and left in a hurry, completely disregarding what the academy disciples were doing, their only concern being Zou Yexi's head.
Xun Zhiya and Zhong Lishan emerged from the sea at almost the same time, soaking wet, with water dripping from their clothes and hair. Zhong Lishan used his magic to dispel the moisture, but before Xun Zhiya could do anything, Gu Gan, who was waiting for her on the shore, had already used his magic to help her.
"We couldn't find it." Xun Zhiya looked up at Gu Gan, a hint of annoyance on her usually cold face. "I wonder if the five elements in the sea are too chaotic. Wei Ren, in his current state, was caught in it... I'm afraid he's in grave danger."
Standing on the shore, Qian Ying also spoke up: "He might be torn to pieces by the sea air below."
After hearing this, Gu Gan turned to look at Zhang Xiangyun and Luo Fu. The two were still confronting Su Tong and Kong Yiyi, both of them burning with golden protective energy, and could start fighting again at any moment.
After Zhong Lishan emerged from the sea, he naturally walked towards Su Tong, but his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Yu Sui standing next to Gu Gan.
Yu Sui pretended to be looking at the waves and didn't turn around.
Nian Qiuyan tried to persuade Kong Yiyi: "Yiyi, let it go."
"What do you mean?" Kong Yiyi turned and glared at him.
Nian Qiuyan glanced at Zhang Xiangyun; he must have also heard the news that Wei Ren had been swept into the sea and might have been killed by the chaotic sea air.
Zhang Xiangyun took a deep breath and said to Nian Qiuyan, "You'd better find a way to take this woman away, or she'll die here tonight."
Nian Qiuyan is now facing not only suspicion and questioning from Kong Yiyi, but also threats from Yu Sui and Zhang Xiangyun. He can let go of the first two, but he is truly not afraid of Zhang Xiangyun.
"If she doesn't leave, then you'll be the one who dies here tonight," Nian Qiuyan said softly as she walked past Zhang Xiangyun.
This is no joke.
If Zhang Xiangyun dares to reveal Nian Qiuyan's identity in front of Kong Yiyi, Nian Qiuyan will kill him.
Zhong Lishan walked up to Su Tong, his fingers resting on the scabbard. He glanced at Zhang Xiangyun without saying a word, but his meaning was clear.
If Zhang Xiangyun were to fight Kong Yiyi again, he would draw his sword.
The situation became somewhat delicate, and a sense of danger silently spread. Yu Sui gently tugged at Gu Gan's sleeve and, as he looked down at her, whispered, "Brother Gu, what do we do next?"
Gu Gan cursed Nian Qiuyan in his heart. He dragged Sui Sui into this, and it served him right that Kong Yiyi followed along.
Wei Ren is likely dead at sea. Even if they don't catch him, at least they'll know that the Listening Wind Ruler is indeed unsafe. As long as that person left a mark on the Listening Wind Ruler, they will definitely be able to find him.
Next, a thorough investigation of the people Wei Ren had contacted would eventually reveal something.
Gu Gan turned to look at Zhang Xiangyun and said, "Let's go."
Wei Ren's light core was shattered by Zhang Xiangyun, so he definitely couldn't have survived in the sea. It's just that we didn't see his body or witness his death, which makes us a little suspicious and uneasy.
Qian Ying added, "He won't survive."
Qian Ying was a physician and had examined Wei Ren's physical condition. Her words made Gu Gan feel a little better.
Zhang Xiangyun knew in his heart that Wei Ren was not going to be found, and that was it for tonight. There was no point in continuing to fight with Kong Yiyi and Zhong Lishan.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down. After wiping the blood from his face, he snorted coldly and said to Luo Fu, "Let's go."
Just as Kong Yiyi was about to ask Nian Qiuyan to stop her, she was grabbed by the wrist and led away in the opposite direction.
Zhong Lishan was looking in Zhang Xiangyun's direction, while Su Tong was looking in the direction Kong Yiyi had left.
After both groups had gone some distance, Su Tong asked, "Why is Sui Sui here too?"
“You came with Gu Gan, didn’t you?” Zhong Lishan said.
Su Tong withdrew her gaze and turned to Zhong Lishan, asking, "What happened between you two on the mechanical island last time? Nian Qiuyan doesn't seem quite right."
Zhong Lishan shook his head and said, "Let Nian Qiuyan tell her herself."
He took Su Tong's hand and said, "Let's go."
Su Tong was led by Zhong Lishan into the weeds, but couldn't help turning her head to look at the sea behind them: "What are these people doing here tonight? Which disciple died? Is he really dead? What is Nian Qiuyan's connection to all of this?"
She was completely confused.
"Are you hiding something from me and Yiyi?" Su Tong looked at Zhong Lishan with suspicion.
Zhongli Shan looked straight ahead and said, "No."
Su Tong frowned as she listened: "Every time you say there's nothing, it means there is. You won't tell me anything. Am I supposed to keep guessing? I'm a disciple of the Fangji family, so you expect me to divine everything? Can't you just tell me directly?"
Zhong Lishan knew it was over when she was halfway through her story. If he didn't say something soon, they might start arguing and make Su Tong angry, but he didn't know what to say.
He truly didn't want Su Tong to know about those risky and potentially harmful things, and he didn't want Su Tong to be troubled or hurt as well.
“I don’t know much about Nian Qiuyan’s matter either,” Zhong Lishan said carefully. “He has already talked to Meimei, but I don’t know the specifics of their discussion.”
Su Tong gave a cold laugh that was neither too loud nor too soft: "Do you think I'd believe that?"
Zhong Lishan said helplessly, "It's true, and Nian Qiuyan should be the one to tell us. She only wants to hear Nian Qiuyan's explanation."
"Then why don't you explain it to me?" Su Tong looked up at him.
Zhong Lishan seemed not to understand, and looked down at her: "What do you mean, 'explain'?"
Seeing his confused expression, Su Tong gave a slight twitch of her lips, lowered her head, and said in a muffled voice, "Never mind."
This time, Zhong Lishan frowned and pressed for an answer: "What is it?"
Su Tong didn't say anything, pulled her hand away, and walked quickly forward.
Zhong Lishan, not understanding why, chased after them again.
Yu Sui, who saw this scene through the Five Elements Light Core, was a little puzzled. How did these two get together in the first place?
