Chapter 249 Just treat it as a kind of life belief
Yu Sui looked at the panting Wan Qi: "Does the medical school have a rule that disciples cannot kill living beings?"
Wan Qi shook his head: "No, not at all."
Yu Sui: "Then what happened to you?"
Wan Qi thought for a moment, then said seriously, "Just think of it as a kind of life philosophy."
Yu Sui asked, "Do not kill?"
Wan Qi shook his head and then nodded.
Yu Sui added, "But it's not a real living thing, but a tangible form of the Nine Schools of Arts."
Wan Qi spread his hands: "But I can't break other people's techniques either."
Yu Sui looked at him in confusion: "Why can't you break it? Even I can break it."
Wan Qi sighed, waved his hand, stood up, and said, "Never mind, let's hurry back and meet up with them."
Yu Sui sized him up, showing some interest but not revealing it.
"I've gone quite far. I don't know if the farm instructor who suffered from the orchid poison will still be there when I get back." Yu Sui stepped out of the Thunder Formation, and the formation disappeared.
Remembering the madman suffering from the poison, Wan Qi shuddered. They definitely couldn't defeat him alone, so he asked in distress, "What should we do? Wait until they're done fighting before going back?"
Yu Sui looked into the distance at the night fog. The fog by the river was so thick that it even blocked out the lights in the city, and not a single ray of light could be seen.
She looked at the Five Elements Light Core that remained beside Yue Shu.
After Yu Sui was forced back by the dazzling crane and Wan Qi got up and ran away, Qiu Cang shouted loudly and rushed to Yue Shu's side, disappearing into the night fog with him.
Qiu Cang pretended to be chasing Yue Shu, but actually helped Yue Shu avoid the patrol team along the city moat and led him to a safe place.
Qiu Cang led Yue Shu to the edge of the outer city, away from the streets. Further ahead lay mountains and seas, allowing them to evade the pursuit of most people in the city for a short time.
Yue Shu's legs buckled at the street corner, and the wildly throbbing veins ripped open his skin, causing blood to splatter and making him fall to the ground, crying out in pain.
"This is a calming pill, please take it quickly." Qiu Cang used his wind manipulation technique to land in front of him, took out the pill from his mechanical box, and handed it to Yue Shu.
Qiu Cang spoke quickly, "I can't stay away from there for too long. These few calming pills can help you recover for a while. Take advantage of this time to leave the outer city quickly, or they will catch you."
After taking the calming pill, Yue Shu leaned against the wall and nodded. He was breathing rapidly, and under the effect of the calming pill, he regained some of his senses. He used all his strength to suppress the restless five elements in his body.
Qiu Cang left only after confirming that there was no other need.
Previously at the academy, Yue Shu had taken good care of Qiu Cang, and the two were as close as father and son. Now that Yue Shu is wanted by the entire Taiyi, Qiu Cang is willing to risk everything to send him away from the outer city.
Yue Shu gritted his teeth and applied some medicine to his injured area. His hand was a bloody mess from the torn flesh. He tore at his clothes to wrap it around his wound, and a throbbing pain shot through his head.
He was filled with resentment, and in the time it took for him to regain his senses, he trembled as he summoned the last communication beast.
Yu Sui originally intended to move the Five Elements Light Core closer to kill him, but upon seeing this, he stopped and wanted to see who Yue Shu would send a final message to.
Ou Rushuang?
Or is it Wan Guiyue?
Or perhaps Xuan Kui's partner?
However, when Yue Shu opened his mouth, he called out an unexpected name: "Elder Zong..."
Elder Zong?
Yu Sui quickly processed the relevant information in her mind.
Having reached the critical point of the thirteenth realm of cultivation, he is rumored to be the next Taiyi Saint and the Master of the Taixu Hall.
Aside from the people of Taixu Hall, everyone in the outer city respectfully called him Elder Zong.
Yue Shu suppressed his painful gasps and tried to speak clearly: "If I die, you will probably never know anything about the fragments of the Floating Pagoda again... There are too many people who want to find the fragments in Taiyi."
“Leng Bin made a significant discovery about the fragments among the experts. He only told me about it, and now that he is dead, only I know about it.”
Yue Shu seemed to have not finished speaking, but he was in too much pain. His meridians broke again, and with a tremor of his hand, the sound transmission beast flew out of his grasp.
He knew that in his current state, even if he managed to escape the outer city, he would still be caught. It would be better to find a safer way, a place where he could hide and not be found, and where he could properly recover from his injuries.
The night fog, which had been dispersed by the wind and thunder arrows, quickly returned.
Wan Qi was still muttering to himself on the side, while Yu Sui stood quietly by the city moat, pondering whether Yue Shu's message to the Taixu Hall Master was true or false.
Leng Bin was a former instructor of a renowned master and was also on tonight's wanted list. Yue Shu said he was dead, and Yu Sui glanced at the Listening Wind Ruler; indeed, the news of Leng Bin's death had been updated.
The sages of Taiyi have not publicly commented on the matter of the fragments of the Floating Pagoda, but in private, they are likely to be condoning it.
Since obtaining the fragment of the Floating Pagoda, Yu Sui had not explored it further, remaining completely ignorant about both the fragment and the Heavenly Script. Now, hearing Yue Shu mention the fragment of the Floating Pagoda, Yu Sui realized that there were far more people who wanted to obtain the fragment, and those who were secretly investigating its information, than she had imagined.
We need to finish dealing with Xuan Kui as soon as possible.
Nangong Ming needs to know that Xuan Kui can no longer stay in Taiyi, and that he shouldn't try to test her abilities after studying in Taiyi, at least not by using something like the orchid poison.
"Are we leaving or not?" Wan Qi looked at Yu Sui helplessly. "There's no use standing here. If they start fighting up ahead and suffer heavy casualties, we'll definitely get scolded if we're not here."
Yu Sui asked, puzzled, "Who dares to insult me?"
Wan Qi: "What about me?"
You are a princess, but I am nothing.
Yu Sui said, "If someone insults you, just insult them back."
Wan Qi: "How should I scold you?"
Yu Sui: "I don't know, I've never cursed anyone."
The two stared at each other for a moment. Wan Qi looked at the girl's innocent appearance and shook his head hard: "This is not a matter of whether or not to curse, it is a matter of our mindset. Being unable to win on the spot is different from simply avoiding the scene and not helping. Hey, where are you going?"
As he was talking, he saw Yu Sui turn and walk away.
"Let's go catch someone!" Yu Sui turned to look at him, feigning innocence, and extended an invitation, "Won't catching Lan Shi add points to the academy score? Although we're all competitors, I'm willing to cooperate with you. Do you want to come with me?"
Wan Qi was taken aback: "Just the two of us?"
He wondered, "We don't even have a six-star team, how are we going to catch the thirteenth-level orchid corpse?"
Now it was Yu Sui's turn to be puzzled: "You're already a second-level disciple, how come you haven't even reached the eighth realm?"
Wan Qi: "I used to be, but haven't I fallen back to the sixth realm?"
Yu Sui: "Your Light Core Realm can drop back down?"
“It’s not surprising that you’ll drop in level after getting injured.” Wan Qi was clearly unwilling to elaborate, and held out his hands to Yu Sui to count, “Even if I hadn’t dropped to the Light Core Realm, we still wouldn’t be able to make thirteen, right?”
“But this thirteenth realm cultivator is severely injured! His strength should be discounted.” Yu Sui said, following Wan Qi’s logic, “In his severely injured state, let’s say his current strength is at the seventh or eighth realm. Wouldn’t our combined strength be just right?”
Wan Qi: "..."
He was talking nonsense to stop Yu Sui, but how did she end up making her story sound reasonable and well-founded?
“But how do we know where the person we’re chasing is?” Wan Qi said again. “The place is full of A-level disciples patrolling the streets and people from Yu Lan Si. It’s not like it’s our turn to arrest someone.”
Yu Sui asked, "Do you really want me to explain?"
Wan Qi thought for a moment: "...It doesn't seem like I have to listen to it."
Anyway, he didn't say he absolutely had to go.
"That's fine then." Yu Sui asked, "Do you want some college credits?"
Wan Qi: "..."
To be honest, he wanted it.
Seeing his hesitation, Yu Sui tempted him further, saying, "Although it would be safer for us to follow the main group, the points will definitely be taken by the top-tier disciples. Look at how anxious Qiu Cang was during the day, grabbing points in front of everyone. If others are thinking the same thing as him and waiting to make the final push, the other top-tier disciples who want to grab points will definitely not let them."
"Instead of competing with so many people for points, why don't the two of us go out and work on our own, splitting the profits 50/50? Don't you want that?"
Wan Qi gritted his teeth and nodded, "I want it!"
He didn't believe Yu Sui's abilities, nor did he believe her flowery claims of a 50/50 split, but he did believe in Yu Sui's background and identity.
Since he couldn't persuade her to go back anyway, he would just shout when he encountered someone on the road outside the city: "Princess Nangong of Qingyang! The younger sister of the famous scholar Sheng Fei is lost! We can't find our way back, please help us take the princess back to her family!"
There will definitely be many people willing to help.
Wan Qi thought Yu Sui was just being impulsive, but when Yu Sui took out the Taoist Invisibility Talisman and the Black Wind Robe, his expression changed. Why did it feel like she was serious?
"Why do you still carry these things with you?" Wan Qi asked as she took the black robe Yu Sui handed her and put it on. "This black robe must be worth hundreds of thousands, right?"
Yu Sui pulled the hood of the cape over her head and said, "Hmm!"
Wanqi looked up at her, but could only see a dark figure. He couldn't see what kind of expression the girl had when she answered with "Mmm".
At this moment, Wan Qi had a misconception about Yu Sui, a misconception called "maybe they really do get points".
Wanqi shook his head violently again, trying to shake off this unrealistic fantasy.
It's better to be realistic.
He reminded himself of this.
Yu Sui led Wan Qi toward the Taixu Hall.
Taixu Hall was faster than them. When Elder Zong received Yue Shu's message, he did not hesitate for long and secretly sent someone to bring Yue Shu, who was being pursued by Taiyi Academy, back to Taixu Hall.
Yu Sui then followed behind the people who rescued Yue Shu, accompanied by Wan Qi.
The main branch of Taixu Hall is also located in the 34th District of the North City. Blood tests in the 34th District have been completed during the day, but the people in this area have been ordered not to go out and move around unless it is for important matters.
It was quiet everywhere after nightfall.
Yu Sui walked along the wall, looking up at the night fog that almost completely obscured the towering city walls.
Tonight, the fog covers the entire Taiyi region, a fog thicker than ever before, as if someone is deliberately manipulating it.
For example, the saints who possess the power of the Earth's core and are known as the Taiyi Rulers.
Legalist school of thought.
Wan Guiyue stood at the highest point of the Ink Pavilion, on the edge of the platform, looking into the distance.
Fine, golden leaf veins appeared beneath her feet, spreading and covering the entire Ink Pavilion platform, with a thin mist drifting around, flowing with the leaf veins.
Zou Qian ordered that no one except those from the Yin-Yang School, the Taoist School, and the Fangji School could enter the Communication Institute, so Ou Rushuang could not enter and could not control the communication institute's information.
Ou Rushuang knew that Wei Xizhen was in the Communication Institute, but he couldn't use the fact that Wei Xizhen was a Legalist and how he could enter the Communication Institute to cause trouble; that would be too obvious.
Wan Guiyue stayed in Taiyi, using the excuse of recuperating from her injuries to manipulate the clouds and mist of Taiyi with the power of the Earth's core.
A tiny, crimson butterfly landed on Wan Guiyue's shoulder, gently fluttering its wings.
Wan Guiyue moved her eyes and glanced sideways at the Azure Blood Golden Butterfly.
She said softly, "Aren't you going to save the teachers and students being chased by the academy?"
“Not everyone is worth saving.” She heard Ou Rushuang’s voice coming from the Jade Blood Golden Butterfly. “This is an inevitable sacrifice. It would be even stranger if they couldn’t catch a single one of them. Let Wei Xizhen believe that this operation can eliminate all hidden dangers.”
Wan Guiyue retorted, "Does everyone willingly choose to die like this?"
Ou Rushuang stood on the outer city street, her gaze piercing through the mist to see the shadows ahead, and said without any emotional fluctuation, "They have no choice."
He doesn't care how many people die tonight.
As long as the stronghold in the Fog Sea is not discovered, no matter how many people die, it will not affect him.
