Chapter 105 See if she wants to go with you
Mei Liangyu forced himself to regain his senses, abandoning his unorthodox techniques and instead using his five fingers to form a fist, blocking the arm with his fist and relying on physical combat skills.
Seeing that he intended to attack, Gu Gan's expression grew even colder, and he began to fight Mei Liangyu using physical skills.
Both of them were skilled in martial arts. Unlike Wen Yanghui, who disliked physical combat, even though they weren't disciples of the Bingjia School, they often went to the Bingjia Martial Arts Arena to spar.
Mei Liangyu's punches were swift, while Gu Gan attacked his lower body, raising his arm to defend properly and sweeping his leg with fierce power. The speed of their exchange was so fast that both of them reacted very clearly and quickly in their minds when it came to offense and defense.
Two or three instructors on night patrol noticed the two fighting in the distance and shouted, "In the middle of the night, are you two sparring or having a private fight?"
Another instructor shouted, "Stop hitting! Go back to sleep. If you want to hit someone, do it tomorrow after you've woken up!"
Mei Liangyu and Gu Gancai stopped fighting at the same time and created distance between them.
Gu Gan said coldly, "Sui Sui..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mei Liangyu said calmly, "Go to my room and see if she wants to go with you."
As Mei Liangyu spoke, she had already walked past him and moved forward.
Gu Gan could only stare at his back, his hands clenched into fists inside his sleeves, and said coldly, "Do you think I would believe your divisive words?"
Mei Liangyu stopped and turned to the side, her face hidden in the dim light. Her gaze as she turned back was utterly cold: "You know Wen Yanghui is dead?"
Gu Gan sneered, "You still want to keep it a secret? I thought you would announce it to the world after having Saint Chang Gen kill him."
Mei Liangyu looked at him with a mocking gaze: "Wen Yanghui almost killed my junior sister tonight. What are your thoughts on Wen Yanghui's death, which you are so indignant about?"
"Impossible." Gu Gan remained unmoved. He believed that Mei Liangyu was trying to sow discord. "Even if he was dissatisfied because Sui Sui was your junior sister, he would never kill her."
Mei Liangyu then asked, "You mean, it doesn't matter even if Wen Yanghui really kills Nangong Sui tonight?"
Gu Gan smiled insincerely and said, "You're quite adept at misinterpreting other people's affairs."
"Unless the person who told you Wen Yanghui is dead didn't tell you that Nangong Sui is seriously injured and on the verge of death." Mei Liangyu raised an eyebrow for a moment, "I will tell my junior sister everything you just said without changing a single word."
Gu Gan suppressed his anger and said, "It's not your place to relay messages between me and Sui Sui."
Mei Liangyu walked forward without turning her head and said, "What my junior sister and I say is none of your business."
The instructors in front hadn't left yet, and they were all looking at Mei Liangyu, who was covered in blood, scratching their heads in confusion, wondering how he had gotten himself into this state.
The instructors all looked at Mei Liangyu with concern and inquiry, but Mei Liangyu did not explain. He only said that his master was waiting for him in the sanctuary and that he had to go there quickly. The instructors could not stop him.
The Ghost Path Sanctuary was very quiet in the dead of night. There was no sound of insects chirping in the summer night. The flowers, trees and grass were still without wind. Mei Liangyu paused outside the sanctuary's door, composed all his emotions, and then stepped inside.
Gu Gan returned to the dormitory and went straight to Mei Liangyu's room, banging on the door.
He knew that Mei Liangyu and Wei Ren shared a room, and that only the two of them lived in this dormitory. If no one opened the door, he would force his way in tonight.
Gu Gan's patience was running out. After knocking on the door for a while without a response, he was just about to mobilize the five elements of his body to break down the door when it opened silently.
Wei Ren leaned against the door with his arms crossed, his eyelids drooping as he lazily looked at Gu Gan: "What are you doing in the middle of the night?"
If he opens the door later, he won't be able to open the door to his room tonight.
Gu Gan didn't even glance at him, and instantly walked into the house.
Wei Ren didn't stop Gu Gan, and still leaned against the door, looking over with a leisurely expression.
Gu Gan stood in the clean, tidy, and somewhat empty main room, scanning the four doors.
The desks and chairs in the dormitory room are all provided by the college. The beds and bookshelves in the room are all the same, but after living there for a long time, as more things are added to the room, there will be some differences.
Ironically, the tables and chairs in this room are exactly the same as when we first arrived. The teacups on the dark red tabletop are neatly arranged, with the kettle next to the teacups, and there is nothing else on the table.
There wasn't even a single decorative item or vase.
The academy even provided solid wood flower stands by the windows of each dormitory room, so that students from farming and medical families could tend to their flowers and plants.
The solid wood flower stand in the room was empty and even covered in dust.
Clearly, Mei Liangyu had no interest in growing flowers and plants, nor did Wei Ren. Or rather, even if he wanted to, he couldn't put them outside; they would have to be kept inside his room. Putting them outside would be a clear message to Mei Liangyu: "These medicinal flowers I grew are very important; you'd better kill them quickly."
There were two empty rooms. Wei Ren's room had its door open, while the other room's door was closed, with two black curse marks on the door.
Gu Gan walked towards the door expressionlessly. Just as he reached out to touch it, he heard a hissing sound. Several small green snakes slithered out from the black mist seeping out of the crack in the door and swiftly bit at his arm.
Spider silk, faintly visible, shot from above. Gu Gan reacted quickly, retreating several steps away. After his eyes caught the small, reddish figure of the Ghost Armored Sky Spider, he turned to look at Wei Ren by the door.
Wei Ren shrugged and said, "This is a surprise I left for Mei Liangyu, but you insisted on trying it first."
Gu Gan asked, "Did he put Sui Sui inside?"
Wei Ren raised an eyebrow slightly, his mind racing. Did this mean Mei Liangyu had returned from the Mechanical Island? And with Nangong Sui?
You came to Mei Liangyu's house looking for Nangong Sui? Wei Ren was a little suspicious of Gu Gan's mental state.
Wei Ren couldn't understand, and he said ambiguously, "You can tell whether there's anyone in the room or not, right?"
Gu Gan frowned. That was true. He calmed his mind and sensed for a moment, but he couldn't detect a third person in the room. Moreover, Mei Liangyu was covered in blood. If he had returned to his dormitory, there would have been a bloody smell in the room.
As Wei Ren just said, these methods were meant for Mei Liangyu, but he triggered them himself, which means that Mei Liangyu didn't go back to his dormitory at all.
In the end, Gu Gan believed Mei Liangyu's lies and made a wasted trip.
Wei Ren added, "If you try to break the door open with your magic, you'll wake up everyone on this floor."
Gu Gan turned and walked out with a cold face.
Wei Ren closed the door, took out the wind-listening ruler, and asked Xue Mushi, "Nangong Sui is back? Gu Gang just went crazy and came to my place looking for someone, asking if Mei Liangyu had put the person in his room."
ill.
Why was Nangong Sui locked up in Mei Liangyu's room?
Xue Mushi replied, "She was injured. Mei Liangyu brought her back, but not to her dormitory."
Wei Ren frowned: "Did Nangong Sui tell you that?"
Xue Mushi replied, "Li Jinshuang said that Gu Gan went there and overheard the conversation."
Wei Ren: "..."
Am I the last one to know?
Xue Mushi added, "Since she says she's fine, she must have her own plans. Let's wait and see."
Gu Gan was still standing in the corridor, deep in thought. Sui Sui was seriously injured, and he had to see her. He couldn't let Mei Liangyu hide her away.
Since Mei Liangyu left from the dormitory and did not return to his own room, it means that he hid Sui Sui in someone else's dormitory.
The building has hundreds of floors and thousands of rooms; if you have no clue, it's practically impossible to find it.
Gu Gan recalled the nine kinds of martial arts he knew in his mind.
While masters can locate objects by their "names," Gu Gan doesn't really remember where he puts things; when he needs to find something, he relies entirely on his intuition to locate it by its characters.
Disciples of famous masters often have the habit of naming even the doors, windows, tables, and chairs in their homes.
Finding something within a small area using the character "寻" is relatively easy, but finding Yu Sui in a dormitory is not so easy.
Gu Gan decided to grit his teeth and give it a try.
He closed his eyes and established a connection with the abode in his mind, allowing his consciousness and the five elements to merge into this place. He raised his hand and wrote the three characters "Nangong Sui" in the void. Gu Gan opened his eyes and looked at the name materialized by the five elements.
The strokes of the three characters are separated, horizontal strokes are horizontal strokes, vertical strokes are vertical strokes, and they are not connected after being separated, which means that his spell failed.
Gu Gan did not give up and continued to try a second and a third time.
The door suddenly opened, and Wei Ren stood in the doorway, staring inscrutable at Gu Gan, who was halfway through writing.
Gu Gan: "..."
He expressionlessly removed the two characters "Nangong" that he had written and walked away.
Gu Gan gritted his teeth and decided to tell Sheng Fei about Yu Sui's injury, so that he could also go to Mei Liangyu to demand Yu Sui's return.
Sheng Fei had already gone to sleep, and only he and Mu Mengbai were staying in the dormitory.
Previously, this house was also home to four people. The other two were also from wealthy and noble families: the son of the Zhou State General and the young master of the Nan Jing family. Mu Mengbai, on the other hand, had no background and his family were just ordinary businessmen who could earn a little money every year.
Sheng Fei is a noble young master raised by the Nangong Prince's Mansion. He also has a bit of a spoiled young master's temper. His likes and dislikes of others are very obvious. He doesn't like to force himself to associate with people he dislikes.
He disliked the daily habits of the Zhou State General's son because he was a germaphobe and couldn't stand the boy's smelly socks lying around. The young master of the Nan Jing family had a good relationship with Gu Gan, and Sheng Fei, hating him because of him, also treated his roommate poorly, often mocking him for his bad eyesight.
Sheng Fei single-handedly disrupted the harmony of the entire dormitory. When the conflict between the three of them escalated to the point of physical fight, Mu Mengbai was completely unaware and was still fast asleep in his room. When he woke up, only he and Sheng Fei remained in the dormitory.
At that moment, Gu Gan arrived at the door of Sheng Fei's dormitory and knocked. Mu Mengbai got up groggily and opened the door. He was yawning and his eyes were not fully open. He squinted and looked ahead. When he saw that it was Gu Gan, he subconsciously closed the door.
Gu Gan, who was locked out by Mu Mengbai: "..."
Mu Mengbai's closing of the door made him laugh in anger.
If it weren't for Sui Sui, he would never have come to find Sheng Fei, even if it meant his death.
Mu Mengbai raised his hand and patted his face, clearing his head a little. He scratched his head and called to Sheng Fei, saying, "Gu Gan is outside, probably looking for you."
Sheng Fei, still covered by the blanket, said impatiently, "Tell him to get out."
No sooner had they spoken than they heard a dull thud from the dormitory door, indicating that it had been attacked.
Mu Mengbai was startled and fully awakened, saying, "What's going on? You're here in the middle of the night to fight me instead of sleeping?"
"He's sick." Sheng Fei got up angrily, went to the front door, pushed it open, and was about to curse when he heard Gu Gan at the door say, "Sui Sui was injured on the mechanical island and was taken back to the academy and hidden by Mei Liangyu."
Gu Gan looked up at Sheng Fei and said in a deep voice, "Sui Sui is badly injured. We need to find her as soon as possible."
Sheng Fei looked at him coldly without saying a word. He turned around to get his Listening Ruler. His mind was clear. After receiving the message from Gu Gan, he used the Listening Ruler to send a message to Mei Liangyu, asking him where his sister was.
Mu Mengbai turned to look at him: "Who are you sending this to? If your sister is seriously injured, she won't be able to reply to the message right now."
Sheng Fei continued sending out messages without even looking up, saying, "Ask Mei Liangyu."
Gu Gan's eyelids twitched upon hearing this. When did he acquire Mei Liangyu's Wind Listening Ruler inscription?
After sending the message, Sheng Fei turned around, changed his clothes, and prepared to go out to look for someone.
