Chapter 340 Did Mei Liangyu and Nangong Sui get married? Ah!
Saint Changgen brought his young disciple back to the Ghost Path Holy Hall. No one could enter, so those who wanted to find Yu Sui to find out what was going on could only wait outside.
Yu Sui said she was going to find Mei Liangyu, and Sage Chang Gen thoughtfully advised her not to go through the main gate, but to climb over the back wall to avoid being disturbed by the others guarding outside.
Although Sage Changgen spread the news of Yu Sui's awakening, he did not say where she was.
Yu Sui, wrapped in a black cloak to cover her head, climbed over the wall and left the Ghost Path Sanctuary to find Nian Qiuyan, who was closest to her.
Last night was a Taoist ritual. After learning that Yu Sui was alright, Xue Mushi went to participate in the ritual trial.
If Nian Qiuyan's divination fails to find her senior brother, Yu Sui will consider asking Xue Mushi to have the insects and beasts keep an eye out.
Recently, the autumn geese have also had quite a few troubles.
A few days ago, he received a question from Xuan Kui, who wanted to know who was with Sheng Fei at a certain time.
Although Nian Qiuyan didn't know what it meant, he still inquired about it truthfully. When Nangong Sui was also there, his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously felt that this matter must be related to her.
Divination yielded no results, but when Nian Qiuyan reported, she still omitted Yu Sui's name.
Nian Qiuyan wanted to contact Yu Sui, but couldn't reach her.
The strange phenomena that have been occurring in Taiyi these past few days are said to have been caused by the Lake of the Dead. It is rumored that a disciple who accidentally entered the Lake of the Dead caused the appearance of Yin and Yang, and that many deans arrived in time to subdue the Yin and Yang energies.
It's unclear which dean subdued it; everyone has speculated that it was the oldest sage of the Ghost Daoist school.
Gu Gan and Yu Sui were well protected amidst these rumors.
After all, the Sage's side also had the intention of making Sage Changgen take the blame, so not only did they not stop those rumors, but they also intentionally or unintentionally encouraged their speculation that the person who subdued the Yin and Yang energies was Sage Changgen.
But Nian Qiuyan always felt something was wrong; things related to Nangong Sui were never as simple as they seemed on the surface.
Now that Chu Jin has returned to the Nangong family, it's normal for people to start paying attention to the Nangong family, but why is it Sheng Fei?
Nian Qiuyan sat at the table, toying with a wooden divination stick in one hand. The wind and rain outside made the candlelight in the room feel inexplicably oppressive. He placed the wooden divination stick on the table, about to perform a divination, when his eyelids twitched and he suddenly looked out the window.
A dark figure, carrying the scent of a storm, stood silently by the window.
Nian Qiuyan stood up, her fingers lightly resting on the edge of the table. She then gathered her strength, only to see the dark figure remove her hat, revealing a fair and beautiful face.
"It's you." Nian Qiuyan unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and invited, "Come in."
Yu Sui asked directly through the window, "Where is my senior brother?"
“I’m looking for him too.” Nian Qiuyan frowned. “But it’s been several days, and there’s been no news at all.”
Xing Chun and Su Tong are still searching for Mei Liangyu; the two of them have practically turned the entire literary world upside down.
Yu Sui lowered her eyes to look at the wooden divination sticks on the table: "Can't you get a result from the divination?"
“I’ve tried it, but it didn’t work,” Nian Qiuyan said. “The only thing I can confirm is that it’s inside the academy. Da Chun said his last location should be in the Reverse Ancient Building, but we can’t even find the Reverse Ancient Building now.”
Yu Sui moved her eyes. Gu Gan's last meeting with his senior brother was also said to be at the Reverse Ancient Tower. Something must have happened at the Reverse Ancient Tower, but Gu Gan had kept it a secret.
"I'm going to check out the Ancient Tower." Yu Sui said, turning to leave, but was stopped by Nian Qiuyan.
“A few days ago I received a message from Xuan Kui, asking me to investigate the people around Sheng Fei.”
These words made Yu Sui stop in her tracks and turn around. After hearing Nian Qiuyan's explanation, Yu Sui learned that it was on the day Sheng Fei triggered the blessing and life-saving spell that Wei Ren guessed that there was a phantom beast inside Sheng Fei's body.
She didn't see it in time, but was attacked and fainted. She guessed what had happened afterward.
At this moment, Nian Qiuyan said that Chu Jin wanted him to investigate this matter, and Yu Sui was certain that Wei Ren was right.
"You've already reported it?" Yu Sui looked up at Nian Qiuyan.
Nian Qiuyan nodded: "I couldn't contact you at the time, but I concealed your name."
Yu Sui, however, did not think it was a good thing for him to hide his name.
She asked Nian Qiuyan, "Do you know about the forbidden techniques of the Farmers, the phantom beasts?"
Nian Qiuyan paused for a moment, then said she knew.
“My third brother should have a phantom beast inside him. In the Lake of the Dead, because he was dying, the phantom beast revealed a flaw and must have risked transferring to someone else’s body, probably mine.” Yu Sui said casually, but it made Nian Qiuyan’s heart tighten. “I guess the owner of the phantom beast is far away in Taiyi, so he can’t control the phantom beast in time. He is also afraid that it will turn against him, so he needs to find a new host for the phantom beast and then find an opportunity to take it back.”
Who do you think the owner of the phantom is?
Nian Qiuyan opened her mouth, her Adam's apple bobbing. The answer was actually quite obvious. For Chu Jin to intervene, and for it to be a forbidden technique of the Farmer's Clan, it could only be Madam Su.
It's understandable that Madam Su released a phantom image to lurk inside Sheng Fei's body, but now this phantom image has landed on Nangong Sui, on Madam Su's own daughter.
For a moment, Nian Qiuyan found it amusing.
This mother and daughter, first the Breath of Earth, then the phantom beast, seemed inseparable no matter what.
"Should I keep an eye on the illusory figure for you?" Nian Qiuyan asked.
Yu Sui put his hat back on: "Then let's see what our Qingyang bandits want to do next."
Nian Qiuyan sighed, "If the phantom is really inside your body, I probably can't help you much. I know they know this forbidden technique, but they won't tell anyone about its contents."
Yu Sui did not answer and walked straight into the dark, rainy night.
Yu Sui and Xue Mushi used the Wind Listening Ruler to contact each other, and Yu Sui asked Xue Mushi to help keep an eye out for any trace of Mei Liangyu.
She went to the famous Nigu Tower according to the route given by Nian Qiuyan. When she arrived, she saw only weeds everywhere and no tall buildings in sight. The weeds grew wildly, engulfing her. Looking up, she could only see the dark sky, and looking ahead, there was only endless thicket of grass.
Yu Sui searched through the wasteland from night until dawn, the torrential rain still pouring down, but she had no clues.
Despite the tedious and endless search, her mind remained calm.
Yu Sui is looking for Mei Liangyu, while the others are looking for her.
Zou Qian originally wanted to use the number of mountains to confirm Yu Sui's location, but he couldn't find her in the mountains. He sat down in a chair and started to think, stroking his chin.
He doesn't reply to messages or listen to voice messages.
Chang Gen said she was awake and not in the Ghost Path Sanctuary, so why is she ignoring everyone?
Wu Huaiwei snapped at him from the side, "Aren't you in charge of the Communications Institute? How come you can't even find anyone at a critical moment! You can find Gu Gan, so why can't you find Nangong Sui? I can understand your cultivation level has regressed, but how come your brain has deteriorated to the point where you can't even use the location function for mountain navigation?"
“Gu Gan didn’t hide,” Zou Qian said, squinting. “She’s clearly trying to prevent us from finding her.”
Wu Huaiwei said coldly, "Remove the night map."
“There’s no need for that. There are so many other students undergoing trials. You can’t be so biased,” Zou Qian advised. “She will contact us when she wants us to find her.”
"Doesn't she know her current situation?" Wu Huaiwei frowned. "Leaving aside the Yin and Yang energies, just the fact that Yan Manfeng is dead means that someone will dare to attack her in Taiyi."
Although they warned other instructors not to repeat Lian Shen's mistakes, they could not stop those who were just as fearless as Lian Shen.
Zou Qian said, "I think she's always been quite clear-headed."
Wu Huaiwei thought for a moment, then turned to ask Xing Chun.
Xing Chun, who was busy searching for someone, was flattered to receive a telepathic message from Dean Wu. Upon hearing the purpose of the message, he could only pretend to be ignorant: "Huh? Sui Sui? I don't know her, I really don't know, I haven't been in contact with her. What happened to her?"
Wu Huaiwei immediately hung up the message.
Yu Sui searched for Mei Liangyu for a day and a night. Only after it got dark again did she leave the Anti-Ancient Tower. Standing on the edge of the wasteland, Yu Sui summoned the Hidden Armor Scroll in the rain, intending to use the famous technique of "testing the waters with a stone." However, she found a more advanced technique called "Heavenly Secrets" in the Hidden Armor Scroll.
The Heavenly Mechanism Reverses the Heavenly Orbit.
The technique of tracking and tracing qi requires only a wisp of qi to find all the traces the other party has ever left behind.
Yu Sui took out the damaged Purple Void Double Ring Jade, extracted the Five Elements Qi belonging to Mei Liangyu from it, and used it to perform the Heaven-Reversing Orbit.
A wisp of purple energy flowed from her fingertips, transforming into a spirit bird that guided her forward.
Yu Sui took a deep breath and followed the spirit bird into the depths of the famous family, crossing the wild grass and wading through the deep water, until they arrived at the secluded valley.
Before she even entered the valley, the Heavenly Orbit failed, and the guiding purple aura dissipated into the world, leaving Yu Sui lost by the valley stream.
Yu Sui tried to use the Heaven-Reversing Orbit technique again, but it was useless. She couldn't summon the guiding purple aura, as if it were telling her that this was the last trace, and there was nothing more. The person was right here.
The continuous torrential rains caused the streams and rivers to swell, the ground to become soft and wet, and the storms battered the mountainside, causing many rocks to fall and bury the flowers and plants in the valley.
Yu Sui walked into the valley.
Liang Zhen, standing deep in the valley, saw this scene and his eyebrows twitched slightly.
“Even if you erase her inverted orbit, you still can’t stop her from coming in.” Zhang Guanyi reverted to his boyish appearance, sat cross-legged on a large rock by the stream, and adjusted his raincoat and hat. “These two have an unusual relationship; they have the mark of a soul bond.”
The boy turned his head and asked Liang Zhen loudly, "Did Mei Liangyu and Nangong Sui get married? Huh!"
Liang Zhen seemed to only just learn about the concept of a soul bond, and was taken aback by Zhang Guanyi's shout.
A hint of speechlessness flickered between the handsome young man's brows: He had actually fallen for Nangong Sui and even secretly formed a soul bond with her. These two... Nangong Sui seemed well-behaved, yet she had agreed to this behind her family's back. He wondered what kind of bewitching magic this kid had used.
“Impossible.” Liang Zhen said after deep thought, “If the two of them were together… what would that look like?”
“Yes!” Zhang Guanyi nodded vigorously. “It’s outrageous, but they’ve already formed a pact. I wonder how he’ll handle this once he remembers.”
Liang Zhen advised him, "Senior brother, just release the person from the butterfly dream."
“It’s too late. All I can do now is release a corpse from the Butterfly Dream.” Zhang Guanyi said innocently, “Right now, he doesn’t want to come out. If we force him to wake up, he will only die.”
“If you want him back, let this girl give it a try.” Zhang Guanyi gestured with his chin toward Yu Sui.
Liang Zhen's expression was slightly solemn.
As the two discussed, Yu Sui surveyed the scenery of the valley and slowly walked deeper into it. In the pitch-black rain, with the Zhou Tian Fire burning, he called out to his surroundings, "Senior Brother!"
"Senior brother!"
The ice butterfly, perched on the grass leaves by the stream, gently flapped its wings.
The darkness of the sky faded, blue light shimmered, torrential rain flowed into the mountains and rivers, dark clouds dispersed, revealing a clear blue sky, and birds gently pecked at the wind chimes under the eaves, making a lonely and crisp sound, which awakened the boy standing under the corridor.
"Ah Li!"
The boy turned to look at his older brother and sister, and asked in a daze, "What did you just call me?"
"I'm calling your name!" the elder sister said impatiently as she stepped forward. "Hurry up and get ready to come to the palace with me. The Sixth Prince has brought Elder Yan back."
