Chapter 349 Desire should have its limits; indulgence will harm the body.
Yu Sui stared blankly at the address the other party sent for a long time.
Is Guild Island really that close?
Was this yin-yang monster originally from Taiyi, or did he guess that she and Xue Mushi were students of Taiyi, and that's why he came to Taiyi?
Could it be that he felt the same way about Taiyi for the past three days?
Yu Sui pondered for a long time without replying, until Gongsun Qi sent another message: "Twenty thousand?"
He thought he was asking for too much, and that Yu Sui couldn't afford it.
Yu Sui found it inexplicably funny after reading it. She might not have other things you need, but she has way too much money.
“There’s a money exchange called Feifeng in the market. Go there to get it.”
"Give me a name, and I'll give you the bank's secret code."
Gongsun Qi: "Alan."
Yu Sui rolled her eyes and asked directly, "Is this your name?"
Gongsun Qi: "Thank you."
He avoided answering.
Yu Sui smiled after reading it.
The yin-yang monster asked her for money, and apart from knowing that she was in Taiyi, it seemed like it was a spur-of-the-moment decision; he simply wanted to borrow money and had no other intentions.
She was overthinking it.
Gongsun Qi found Feifeng Money Exchange in the market and went in to exchange the coded message for money.
The manager of the money exchange personally came out to greet him, his face beaming with a kind smile. He personally handled everything and exchanged 300,000 gold notes for Gongsun Qi.
Gongsun Qi stared at the pile of banknotes on the table and fell into a brief silence.
The manager, understanding and considerate, asked, "Shall I pack it up for you?"
Gongsun Qi said no need, and put all 300,000 into the mechanical box himself.
The manager continued, "You are a very important customer of our bank. Please feel free to ask if you have any other needs."
Gongsun Qi glanced at Alan, who was being amused by the money shop clerk. She was very interested in the golden bead tree displayed in the lobby of the money shop, and thought the shiny jade beads were very beautiful.
The manager, with his sharp eyes, immediately gave his subordinate a wink. The subordinate walked over with a smile, played a little game with Alan, then let Alan win, taking a golden bead from the tree and giving it to Alan as a prize.
Alan jumped up and down with joy, then ran over to Gongsun Qi, excitedly circling around him with the gold beads in his hand: "Father, these are the gold beads I won! Look, look! They're so beautiful!"
This was the first time Gongsun Qi had ever seen the little girl so excited and happy.
Alan and he had been living a hard life for the past few years, enduring hardships and sleeping outdoors.
The more this happens, the more overwhelming the memories become.
That child had never suffered any hardship since birth and had always lived a happy and joyful life, which is why he let out such a pitiful cry before he died.
The girl's eyes, like washed black grapes, sparkled with a bright smile.
They look so alike.
Gongsun Qi patted Alan's head. "Did you say thank you?"
"I told you!" Alan happily thanked the manager loudly again.
"Let's go." Gongsun Qi led Alan away from the money shop to buy the mechanical toy that the child had been longing for.
On the way, Gongsun Qi received a message from Yu Sui: "When you're traveling, bring plenty of money with you."
The debt suddenly jumped from 30,000 to 300,000. Gongsun Qi rubbed the back of his neck and asked her, "Aren't you afraid your family will find out about this money and cause trouble?"
The old fox could tell at a glance that the person who could offer so much money must have a powerful family backing them.
The fact that Fei Feng Bank's VIP customers, from the manager's attitude to the fact that they could freely give Alan gold beads to curry favor, all indicate that the person behind this coded message must not only be rich but also powerful.
“This money has nothing to do with my family.” Yu Sui lay on the bank of the stream, tapping the wind-listening ruler. “Unless you’re a wanted criminal from six countries, the kind who gets checked wherever you go.”
Gongsun Qi: "That's me."
Yu Sui: "..."
We definitely need to do some cleanup work.
"You didn't kill everyone at the money exchange, did you?" Yu Sui asked.
Gongsun Qi: "I am not a serial killer."
Yu Sui thought to herself, "You're a wanted criminal in six countries. Aren't you even more terrifying than a serial killer?"
But upon closer reflection, this person, like Ming Yueqing, has existed since her birth. Eighteen years have passed, and the two of them have never triggered any death empathy.
Although Mingyue Qing was a medical sage, he hid in a place unknown to anyone, avoiding contact with the outside world, which is why the event was not triggered.
Judging from the fact that Yin Yang Guai asked her for money and the location where he appeared, he must have been traveling all the time, yet he never triggered any empathy. Besides being well hidden, it was also because his strength was unfathomable and his realm was too strong. So even though he was a wanted criminal from six countries, no one could bring him to the brink of death.
"You're on the Mechanical Island, and I'm at Taiyi Academy. We're quite close to each other," Yu Sui said slowly, tapping on the crossword puzzle. "Are you coming to the academy?"
Gongsun Qi: "Maybe."
Yu Sui: "You've come to find us?"
Gongsun Qi: "Not necessarily."
What are you doing in Taiyi?
Yu Sui typed and deleted, and finally sent out a message: "Okay, if you need anything else, you can contact me."
Gongsun Qi did not return.
She's quite aloof.
Yu Sui casually tossed aside the Wind Listening Ruler, got out of the water, and dressed.
It can't be rushed.
They don't yet have a compelling reason to meet.
Moreover, the destroyers of the world each have their own ideas. Apart from the commonality of different flames, they are all special and know very little about each other. The more they know, the faster their stance changes.
Outside the valley of famous masters.
Liang Zhen stood at the entrance with his hands behind his back, facing the violent night wind, squinting as he sized up the young man who emerged from the darkness.
The young man was fully dressed and looked clean and tidy, but he was different from his previous flamboyant and outgoing self. Instead, he hid all his emotions and became introverted, but Liang Zhen felt that he had also become sharper.
Zhang Guanyi, standing beside him, was observing another change in the young man.
Even though his clothes were neat and his waistband and buttons were properly fastened, you could still see the chapped lips, the sleeves that were blown up by the night wind that revealed scratch marks on his wrists, and the ambiguous red marks on his neck.
Zhang Guanyi revealed a look of sudden realization and said, "No wonder you haven't come out for so many days. You were right. Sigh, it's easy for two young people to get into trouble when they're together. Without an older person to stop them, that's why..."
Liang Zhen said calmly, "You said it, not I."
Zhang Guanyi nearly jumped up and punched him: "I never meant that at first!"
Mei Liangyu approached the two men, and Zhang Guanyi immediately turned to him and shouted, "What have you two been doing in the valley for the past three days?"
The young man slowly lowered his eyes to look at the other person, then bowed his head slightly as if to greet him, and said in a low voice, "This is my private matter."
Zhang Guanyi, with a youthful and innocent face, said, "There are things to be wary of, for indulging in them will harm your health."
Mei Liangyu did not refute, but simply said in a calm voice, "I understand."
Zhang Guanyi wanted to say a few more words, but Liang Zhen couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted him, saying, "Do you remember now?"
"I remember now." Mei Liangyu's eyes were like a calm, deep pool, revealing no ripples.
Looking at the person in front of him, Liang Zhen felt a sense of "his child growing up".
He paused for a moment and then explained, "I called my senior brother here because I wanted to take you away from Taiyi without being noticed, but he insisted that you regain your memories first before leaving."
"So if you want to leave, you can leave now."
Zhang Guanyi quieted down and listened attentively to Liang Zhen and Mei Liangyu's conversation.
Both of them thought that Mei Liangyu wanted to leave Taiyi and return to Yan immediately, but he said, "Now is not the time."
Liang Zhen asked, "Do you have a plan?"
"If I have a frank talk with my master, are you still confident that you can take me away?" Mei Liangyu asked Zhang Guanyi.
Zhang Guanyi slightly raised his chin, looking arrogant: "Of course."
Liang Zhen: "To be honest."
Zhang Guanyi: "Alright, leaving Taiyi is fine, but we might be constantly being chased and unable to shake them off. It's better to leave quietly."
Mei Liangyu, however, said, "Impossible."
Zhang Guanyi scratched his head, seemingly a little troubled. He was still thinking of a solution when Mei Liangyu said again, "I will make it impossible for him to catch up."
“That’s fine.” Zhang Guanyi nodded. “Outside of Taiyi, he might not be so terrifying.”
He then added, "It's not that scary for me, but for you guys, he can still crush you."
Saints are already the pinnacle that everyone looks up to, but Zhang Guanyi believes that Saint Changgen's current state is already above the Saint realm, reaching another level.
Liang Zhen looked thoughtful. Mei Liangyu was probably the one who knew Chang Gen Saint's strength best, but he didn't seem to care at the moment.
He won't leave now; he wants to verify his guess.
He needed to know what his master's purpose was in doing all this.
It is a fact that Sage Changgen and Nangong Ming are cooperating, but if Sage Changgen's goal is to help Qingyang unify the six kingdoms, then Qingyang would have unified them long ago. Nangong Ming is currently trying to persuade Sage Changgen.
So what exactly does he want?
Mei Liangyu's restored memories are not all of the sealed memories of the Yan Kingdom. There are also several scenes that he inadvertently glimpsed after arriving in Taiyi, but they were all sealed by the Sage Changgen.
The most recent memory is from five years ago.
During his Hundred Families Night Parade that year, he went to the forbidden area of the Ghost Daoist School, the narrow river of the Wujian Mountain Abyss, and almost released the Weak Water Green Mud, which was enough to swallow half of Taiyi Island.
This is also what the Sage Changgen told Yu Sui before, that your senior brother almost destroyed the world several times.
Mei Liangyu consciously did things that she wanted to destroy everything.
He knew that his master had erased his memories of going to the Narrow Space, thinking that it was just to prevent him from having another chance to release the Weak Water Green Mud. Now that he thought about it, he realized that there was something more to it.
Liang Zhen agreed to Mei Liangyu's request and then asked, "Is there anything else you'd like to do?"
Mei Liangyu looked at him and said, "Thank you for all these years."
Liang Zhen seemed stunned for a moment, and the young man looked straight into his eyes: "If you were repaying a debt of gratitude from back then, you have now repaid it."
Mei Liangyu would not use this favor to coerce Liang Zhen into continuing to help her.
But Liang Zhen smiled and said, "That debt of gratitude was indeed repaid when I taught you the Nine Schools of Arts back then."
"Your mother saved my life, but I've saved yours more than once."
Mei Liangyu's eyelids trembled slightly. She lowered her eyes and then looked up again: "Then it's my turn to repay your kindness."
Upon hearing this, the white-robed immortal, with a serene and refined demeanor, merely raised an eyebrow and smiled without uttering a word.
Mei Liangyu said, "I'm going to Wujian Mountain Abyss to confirm some things. After I talk to my master, I will take Yan Xiaochuan with me to Liuzhou."
Liang Zhen said, "Five of the six prefectures are controlled by Qingyang and Nanjing. The remaining Yun Prefecture is supported by the people of the Bai Nong Hall. Now that Yan Manfeng is dead, they won't be able to hold on for long."
“It doesn’t matter to them if they take over the entire Six States now,” Mei Liangyu said. “Mo Yun has been shipping goods out for years. If those goods successfully reach the Six States, then their plan to move the sea and fill the states will have enough time.”
Liang Zhen looked at Zhang Guanyi and said, "I am not able to go to the Six Prefectures, but I asked my senior brother to go and take a look."
Zhang Guanyi once went to Liuzhou, and no one noticed.
The child, noticing the two people's gazes, crossed his arms in a pretentious manner, looking deep in thought. After whetting everyone's appetite, he slowly said, "For the past ten years or so, the mechanical sorcerers of the Six Provinces have diligently carried out your father's instructions, setting up water eyes in every part of the Six Provinces without being discovered by anyone, just waiting for you to complete the final step."
Mei Liangyu listened attentively.
It will be soon.
After the three finished discussing their next move, Mei Liangyu calculated the time and decided to go back to find Yu Sui.
Liang Zhen asked directly, "Are you and Nangong Sui serious?"
Mei Liangyu, who had just turned around, stopped upon hearing this and turned back to look at him: "Yes."
Zhang Guanyi chimed in, "Wasn't it just a ploy to deceive her and use her to get information about the Qingyang Nangong family?"
Mei Liangyu was not angry and calmly replied, "No."
Liang Zhen said tactfully, "Not everyone can respond to you with the same amount of leverage."
Mei Liangyu laughed and said, "Then I deserve it."
Zhang Guanyi stared wide-eyed, incredulous at the young man's nonchalant answer. "Are you that kind of person?"
He tugged at his junior brother's sleeve and said, "Should I wash away his lust for Nangong Sui? I feel like it might cause trouble."
Liang Zhen fell silent, beginning to hesitate.
Mei Liangyu turned around to face the two of them, standing tall in the dark night, quiet and composed, yet unrestrained and arrogant: "You only have this one chance. If you can successfully wash it off, then I will listen to you from now on. If you can't, then no matter what, you must not harm Nangong Sui in the slightest."
Zhang Guanyi was very interested in the first part of his promise, and immediately stepped forward, his body radiating a protective aura: "You said it yourself."
