Chapter 217 (Added Words) The Luckiest Person in the World
Mei Liangyu already knew Zhang Xiangyun and Luo Fu's identities, but she was unaware that the Nangong family was also involved.
It is unknown whether assisting Xuan Kui in Taiyi was a test given to Yu Sui by Nangong Ming.
Yu Sui did not directly state that she suspected Mei Liangyu's identity before he lost his memory, so she did not mention anything about Nangong Ming to him again.
Apart from Elder Yan, no one in this world would believe that Nangong Sui was Nangong Ming's enemy, nor would anyone think that way.
But what Mei Liangyu was about to do was exactly what Yu Sui wanted.
As Mei Liangyu was about to leave, Yu Sui jumped down from the fence and said, "Senior brother, I'll see you out."
With white bandages wrapped around her feet, she lifted her skirt and jogged into the house to put on her shoes after landing.
"You'd better stay inside and rest," Mei Liangyu said, standing at the door.
Yu Sui shook her head and said, "I'm not that delicate. I can't move because of this little injury. I want to give it to you, is that not allowed?"
She looked up at me, her eyes sparkling.
Mei Liangyu slightly curled the corners of her lips, but did not answer, letting her follow her.
Yu Sui escorted Mei Liangyu to the foot of Yue Mountain and watched him leave before returning home. On the way, he met Pu Heng, who was coming down the mountain.
Pu Heng told her with a smile that Dean Wu had returned to the pavilion and was looking for her.
They didn't ask much about her relationship with Wu Huaiwei, and there was nothing wrong with her words and actions.
Yu Sui smiled and thanked him, then walked past Pu Heng and left.
Upon returning to the Moon Mountain Pavilion, Wu Huaiwei was waiting for her inside. Seeing Yu Sui, she asked, "Where did you go?"
“I saw my senior brother off down the mountain,” Yu Sui answered honestly.
Wu Huaiwei frowned, then realized that Mu Yong'an had helped him break the barrier. However, after looking at Yu Sui for a while, she did not stop Mei Liangyu from coming to Yue Mountain. As if nothing had happened, she led Yu Sui outside and said, "Come with me to the Star Gazing Platform to continue."
Yu Sui followed behind her and asked, "Was that Senior Brother Pu Heng from the Yin Yang School who came in just now?"
"You know him?" Wu Huaiwei didn't turn around.
"I've heard of it." Yu Sui jogged a few steps to catch up with her. "Senior Brother Pu Heng can freely enter and leave Moon Mountain. Is his Yin-Yang technique very powerful?"
Wu Huaiwei said with a half-smile, "You should be more capable than you are now."
Yu Sui then asked, "After I learn the Reverse Star Technique, who will be more powerful?"
Wu Huaiwei glanced at her and said, "Is there any need to say more? Of course, it's you who is more powerful after learning the Reverse Star Technique."
Yu Sui said modestly, "Senior Brother Pu Heng has studied for many more years than me, and his combat experience is much richer."
Wu Huaiwei thought to herself, Pu Heng may be talented, but how can he compare to her? This girl lacks time and experience.
She thought about what Yu Sui said for a while and realized that Yu Sui was right, but time could be shortened and experience could be imposed.
Thinking of Zou Qian, whom she had trapped at the observatory, Wu Huaiwei had an idea.
The observatory is located at the very top of Moon Mountain. A huge planetarium stands in the east, with star trails slowly rotating. There are many star charts on the ground, and upon closer inspection, you will find that the twenty-eight constellations are separated out.
The star chart floats in the air, and stepping on it feels like walking in the night sky.
Trapped in the formation, Zou Qian stood out among the many star charts. He sat cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by sharp, irregular ice shards, layer upon layer, forming a solid ice cage.
Zou Qian sat in the center of the astrolabe, his collar wide open. He was tilting his head back and scratching his neck impatiently. His already furrowed brows furrowed even more when he saw Wu Huaiwei.
"I'm telling you," Zou Qian said impatiently, scratching her neck, "you don't possess any of the three virtues of Heaven, Earth, and Man."
"I don't mind ignoring the life-saving grace, I don't mind refusing your drink, but what kind of behavior is it to lock me up here?"
Zou Qian gripped the thick icicle in front of her with one hand, but even with her protective aura, she couldn't budge it an inch.
Yu Sui noticed that the skin on one side of Zou Qian's neck had been scratched open, leaving it a bloody mess.
Wu Huaiwei walked towards Zou Qian on a star chart: "If you drink any more of that wine, you'll really die."
"If you don't give me some, I'll kill myself right now." Zou Qian stared intently at her.
“With the power of the Earth’s core in Taiyi, you won’t die.” Wu Huaiwei instantly arrived in front of the ice shard, bent down and leaned close to Zou Qian inside, winking at him ambiguously, “It’s just that you will become very weak, so weak that you won’t even be able to leave this small Void Ice Realm.”
Zou Qian scratched his neck and said impatiently, "If you don't give me any wine, then get out of here."
“If you don’t understand this Heart Mantra, leaving Taiyi and going outside will only lead to your death. How about I show you a way out?” Wu Huaiwei said calmly.
Zou Qian asked suspiciously, "You? Ming Lu?"
"The little girl behind me, like you, possesses the power of the Nine Provinces Star Sea." Wu Huaiwei pointed her slender finger at Yu Sui, and a red ribbon flew to Yu Sui's side, circling around her. "She has a superior physique with the five elements mutually generating each other, and the three thousand stars have already returned to their positions. Given time, she will surely be able to learn the Nine Profound Mysteries of the Yin-Yang School. What do you think of such a promising talent?"
Zou Qian then noticed Yu Sui, who had come with Wu Huaiwei.
He scratched his neck, frowned, and looked Yu Sui up and down. She looked familiar, and after a moment he remembered: "Was the time you fought with Old Chang because of her?"
Wu Huaiwei snorted and raised her eyebrows, saying, "Anyway, I still won in the end."
If Yu Sui takes the initiative to seek her out for instruction, then she has won.
“The five elements generate each other, the nine provinces and the starry sea, and then what?” Zou Qian scratched the bloody marks on her neck, her expression sullen, seemingly not caring much about any of these things.
Wu Huaiwei stretched out her hand to support herself on the icicle, looked down and squinted at Zou Qian, saying, "I'm going to teach her the art of reversing the stars."
Zou Qian chuckled twice: "That's against the rules."
Wu Huaiwei continued, "She has already mastered the Three Thousand Stars Returning to Their Positions and will learn it soon. She just lacks experience. So if you fight her and you win, I will give you wine. If she dies, you will not have any wine to drink."
"You want me to win, but you won't let me hurt her?" Zou Qian continued with a dry laugh, adding, "This isn't the rule, is it? How can two saints teach one person? What if word gets out and others find out?"
Wu Huaiwei's intention was not simply to have him fight Yu Sui, but to impart her experience in Yin-Yang techniques during the fight.
The essence is not about hitting, but about teaching.
"What rules are you talking about?" This time it was Wu Huaiwei's turn to be impatient. She tapped the ice with her finger and looked down at Zou Qian. "She is neither your apprentice nor your student, nor a disciple of the Yin-Yang School. Just consider her a sorcerer from the outer city. Any sorcerer from any of the six kingdoms outside of Taiyi can exchange skills in the Nine Schools of Arts and discuss Yin-Yang arts. What rules does the academy have that say they can't do that?"
Zou Qian sighed, "With your mouth opening and closing like that, I think you should really switch to studying the art of becoming a master."
Wu Huaiwei said casually, "With your sickly body, you should switch to medicine as soon as possible to save your dog's life."
“You want me to treat her as any sorcerer from any of the six kingdoms? That’s not something you can just do casually. She’s clearly a sorcerer from Qingyang.” Zou Qian’s gaze shifted from Wu Huaiwei and returned to Yu Sui. “A sorcerer from Qingyang who possesses the sacred agricultural artifact, the Breath of Earth.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Sui slightly raised her eyelids and looked directly at Zou Qian without flinching.
“I forgot, you have some connection with Yan Manfeng. There’s no guarantee you won’t kill her and steal the Breath Soil for that connection. You should just get out of here.” Wu Huaiwei straightened up. “And don’t drink any more wine.”
"Hey!" Zou Qian reacted quickly, reaching out from the crack in the icicles and grabbing Wu Huaiwei's skirt. "I used to be just a nodding acquaintance with Yan Manfeng, not so close that I would go out of my way to snatch the Breath Soil for him. Although he is indeed quite unlucky, it's not like I made him so unlucky, so why should I try to solve it?"
Yu Sui's eyes widened slightly after hearing these words. Zou Qian's words somewhat damaged his image, making her feel uneasy, yet they also reminded her of Zou Qian's attitude when he was in the Institute of Communications.
It wasn't exactly perfunctory, but it wasn't much better either; it seemed he didn't care what happened or what the outcome was.
"Let go!" Wu Huaiwei pulled her skirt back in disgust. "Even if you weren't under this spell, you're still a heartless person."
Zou Qian scratched his neck and said, "What do you mean by intentional or unintentional? All saints in the world have saintly hearts."
“Shameless argument,” Wu Huaiwei said.
Zou Qian took a deep breath, then pointed her hand, which was stuck in the icicle, at Yu Sui, "Just fight her, right?"
Wu Huaiwei turned to look at Yu Sui: "You heard everything?"
Yu Sui looked at her, then at Zou Qian, and hesitated for a moment before hearing Wu Huaiwei say, "We agreed before that you would learn exactly how I teach you."
"But I definitely can't beat Dean Zou," Yu Sui said with a bitter face. "And from what you're saying, as long as Dean Zou doesn't kill me, what if he cripples me?"
Wu Huaiwei: "..."
Zou Qianyang chuckled, "This kid is afraid of dying."
Wu Huaiwei didn't even glance at him before saying, "You're afraid too."
Zou Qian, however, said nonchalantly, "Being afraid of death is human nature, what's there to be ashamed of?"
He was still pointing at Yu Sui, but he was speaking to Wu Huaiwei: "Let's begin. Those who are afraid of death learn quickly."
Wu Huaiwei removed the magic array with a single hand seal. Zou Qian, now free from restraint, stood up from the ground, scratching her neck until her fingertips bled. She made a hand seal with one hand and uttered an obscure and incomprehensible incantation.
The distance between the two was neither too far nor too close, and Yu Sui felt an indescribable sense of pressure the moment Zou Qian began to exert his strength.
The murderous intent coming from all directions trapped her in the cramped space, making it difficult to breathe. Yu Sui immediately activated her protective aura.
Her naked eye caught wisps of white smoke floating and evaporating in the air. Yu Sui even felt as if the moisture in her body was being drawn out, her throat was dry, and her skin was sweating.
The faint sound of flowing water reached Yu Sui's ears, and the sound of bubbles bursting continued. Her eyes reflected the scene of countless raindrops exploding at the same time, and those small water droplets were the manifestation of water vapor evaporating inside the observatory.
All water sources within a certain range are affected by this, and even the water in the human body is being pulled by external forces.
What kind of technique is this?
Yu Sui was shocked. In just a moment, she was covered in cold sweat, which soaked her clothes. When she looked up, she met Zou Qian's eyes, who was staring at her intently.
Wu Huaiwei's voice, neither too loud nor too soft, entered Yu Sui's ears: "Yin-Yang Incantation, Water Myriad Phenomena."
"Be careful. If you don't defend yourself properly, it can drain the water from your body and turn you into a dried-up corpse in the blink of an eye."
Yu Sui expanded the range of his protective aura, and then saw several star lines appear behind Zou Qian, forming the Xuanwu Constellation Array.
As Zou Qian waved her hand, the light of the Void Constellation in the Xuanwu Star Array burst forth, and the image on the ground transformed into a giant frost python carrying a biting wind, its golden, bewitching vertical pupils fixed on Yu Sui in front of it.
It has a huge body, and it raises its body high above, looking down at Yu Sui.
The stone solidifies in the void.
Yu Sui's protective aura was instantly shattered, and the scenery of the star chart on the ground was obscured by icy white mist. Frost spread upwards from her feet, threatening to freeze her entire body.
She used the incantation of the Ghost Daoist school to form a hand seal, and just as she was about to materialize it, Wu Huaiwei intervened: "You are not allowed to use the Ghost Daoist school's techniques. You can only use the Yin-Yang school's techniques to deal with it."
The spell that had just begun to be cast was extinguished. Yu Sui reacted quickly, and even though the frost had frozen half of his body, he immediately switched to the power of the Nine Provinces Star Sea.
The ever-present killing intent did indeed ignite Yu Sui's power, and under Zou Qian's intense pressure, her will to survive reached its peak.
A dense array of blue-purple star lines appeared behind Yu Sui, with stars lighting up one after another, including all twenty-eight constellations.
Upon seeing this, Zou Qian raised an eyebrow and instantly lit up all the stars. Although seeing three thousand stars on a sixth-realm sorcerer was indeed quite shocking, it also showed that she was at a loss.
All the constellations in the Vermilion Bird Star Array lit up, and the eight stars of the Well Constellation landed. The sparks that burst from the star chart transformed into a fiery bird with two wings, which opened its mouth and swallowed the frost, rescuing Yu Sui who was frozen in place.
The constellation Jing is associated with Zhu Lie.
After breaking through the stone block, Yu Sui immediately used the Wind Control Technique to distance herself from Zou Qian. The sound of raindrops exploding appeared in her ears again, and those exploding water droplets seemed to be the blood and water in her body.
With a loud bang, a flash of blood mist appeared before Yu Sui's eyes. The red Fiery Bird made a loud noise as if it had been broken. She felt her blood boiling, half hot and half cold, surging and crashing against her limbs and bones. In the blink of an eye, it tore through her flesh and sprayed everywhere, and she was thrown away.
The three thousand stars that appeared behind her also shattered suddenly.
The world turned a vivid red, and blood splattered in the air, evaporating and rising into vapor before it even hit the ground.
Everything was extinguished by water.
Wu Huaiwei shook her wrist, and the star bell on her wrist made a crisp sound, causing Yu Sui's pupils to flash and wake up from the world of blood and mist flowers.
Zou Qian remained in the gesture of making a hand seal, with pale blue water flowing around him.
Yu Sui stood up from the ground, soaked and exhausted. She subconsciously looked down and saw that the blood in her eyes was gone. What she saw was a wet dress clinging to her waist, with water dripping down her back. The clothes on her body seemed to weigh dozens of kilograms, and the weight of them felt like they were tied with many large stones.
Although the Xuanwu Star Array was incredibly oppressive, the most lethal technique was the Yin-Yang Incantation Water Myriad Formations.
Yu Sui raised her hand to wipe the water stains still flowing from her face, and looked at Zou Qian with her clear black and white eyes.
She wanted that kind of power too.
“She almost died, so it doesn’t count.” Wu Huaiwei withdrew her gaze from Yu Sui and snapped her fingers. “Let’s try again.”
Zou Qian chuckled and looked at Wu Huaiwei: "She's not dead, is she?"
Wu Huaiwei: "I'm in charge."
Zou Qian looked back at Yu Sui and said patiently before making a move, "It is naturally excellent that the three thousand stars have returned to their positions. They have unlimited potential and boundless power. As for the Yin-Yang School's Star Sea, it values the refinement of Yin-Yang and Heaven and Earth Qi, using the Qi of the Five Elements as a carrier. You might as well feel it more carefully."
After he finished speaking, Wu Huaiwei slowly added, "Entering the Star Sea into the Circulation and then exploring the two poles is the right idea, but the speed needs to be faster, otherwise before your Circulation Boundary is even formed, his myriad water phenomena will have already submerged you."
Before Yu Sui could speak, Zou Qian asked again, "Is this the first time you've used the Star Constellation Array?"
“This is the first time.” Yu Sui nodded. “In the rush just now, I managed to point out all of the Star Sea.”
Zou Qian said, "The Ghost Daoist's soul control is divided into three levels, so wouldn't you be able to use the three types of Void Star Generals at the same time?"
He seems quite interested in this.
Yu Sui winked at Wu Huaiwei: "You can't use the techniques of the Ghost Daoist school."
Seeing that she was sensible, Wu Huaiwei swallowed the words she was about to say and instead said to Zou Qian, "Let her experience the star formation you know, do it with each star and general."
Zou Qian: "Give us the wine first."
Wu Huaiwei pointed at Yu Sui: "If she learns one skill, you can have a drink."
Upon hearing this, Zou Qian's gaze towards Yu Sui changed, shifting from indifference to a ruthless intent that threatened to kill her if she couldn't learn the skill.
Yu Sui began her journey of Yin-Yang cultivation at Yue Mountain.
She spent the entire day at the observatory, enduring numerous beatings. Although Zou Qian was teaching her the Twenty-Eight Constellations Formation, she was drowned each time by the spell "Water of Myriad Formations."
Although Zou Qian seems carefree and indifferent to everything, she is actually very ruthless when she strikes, and she has an aura that shows she doesn't care whether you live or die.
Because Wu Huaiwei was watching over him, he was fearless. If Yu Sui really couldn't handle it, Wu Huaiwei would naturally step in to stop him.
But it was precisely Zou Qian's "reckless" and "unscrupulous" attack methods that stimulated Yu Sui's will to survive each time, causing her to unleash her potential in life-or-death situations.
It wasn't until late at night that Yu Sui called for a stop. She stood at the edge of the star chart, panting heavily, her clothes soaked, feeling as if the dampness around her was threatening to drown her.
“I… I have already learned the Xuanwu Star Formation,” Yu Sui said with difficulty, pulling out one hand and waving the Listening Wind Ruler at Wu Huaiwei. “My senior brother has come to see me. I need to go down to see him and rest for a while before coming back.”
Wu Huaiwei appeared in front of Yu Sui in an instant, crossed her arms, and looked at her leisurely, saying, "Go and come back quickly."
Seeing that she had exerted herself greatly today and studied very diligently, and had gained a lot, Wu Huaiwei did not stop her.
Seeing that she had released the person, Zou Qian then withdrew the spell Water Myriad Forms. Yu Sui instantly felt as if she had surfaced at sea, able to breathe fresh air and leave the cramped space to come to the vast world.
Both body and mind feel lighter.
She turned and ran without hesitation.
Within the range of Zou Qian's Water Myriad Manifestations spell, both body and mind were being ravaged and tormented by the power of the water element.
Zou Qian asked Wu Huaiwei, "Who is her senior brother?"
"Mei Liangyu." Wu Huaiwei turned to look at him. "You've forgotten?"
“I forgot, I forgot she was Master Chang’s apprentice.” Zou Qian scratched his neck, frowned, and looked like he was about to reach his limit. “She has learned it. You should keep your promise and give me the things.”
Wu Huaiwei took a bottle of gourd wine from her mechanical box and threw it to Zou Qian.
Zou Qian took the bottle and immediately tilted his head back to gulp it down, finishing it in the blink of an eye. This small amount of wine clearly wasn't enough for him. Zou Qian wiped his mouth, stared at Wu Huaiwei, and asked, "Was the wine in your puzzle box?"
"What?" Wu Huaiwei glanced over, and the next moment Zou Qian attacked her.
The clear water transformed into three enormous claws, crashing heavily down where Wu Huaiwei had just stood, causing cracks to appear on the rotating star disk.
Wu Huaiwei vanished in a flash, the golden iron pieces on her wrist scattered, each emitting a crisp sound, like birdsong or the whistling of swords.
With a whoosh, the red ribbon flew behind Zou Qian and wrapped around his neck. The man's eyes flickered, and his gaze swept backward. A dark golden light flashed in his eyes, and the tall figure standing in place transformed into a human shape formed from transparent water. Facing the strangulation of the red ribbon, it scattered into countless tiny water droplets, soaking the red ribbon and making it heavy and difficult to move.
The star bell iron pieces suspended in the air were all wrapped in transparent water bubbles, burying the sound of the star bells. Zou Qian's figure appeared behind Wu Huaiwei, her outstretched five fingers about to grab Wu Huaiwei's throat.
The heavens and stars changed instantly, and the two were pulled into a world with a faint purple light. The sky and the starry sea on the ground spun rapidly, and the two poles in the circulation were opposite each other, with starlight falling from the sky.
The water vapor evaporated and dissipated in an instant, and the blazing flames rescued Hong Ling and Xing Ling, who were trapped by the Water Myriad Phenomena. The invisible sound barrier that Xing Ling unleashed swept across the area, and together with the flames, knocked Zou Qian, who was approaching Wu Huaiwei, back several meters away.
Wu Huaiwei calmly turned around to face Zou Qian.
"Save your energy," Wu Huaiwei mocked. "Instead of wasting your time trying to take it from me, you should spend more energy suppressing the Heart-Bearing Curse within you."
The raging fire scorched his exposed skin, especially his neck, which was red and burning, with many blisters mixed with the bloodstains from his previous scratches, a shocking sight.
Zou Qian took a deep breath. He was decisive. Seeing that he couldn't win the fight, he sat down cross-legged on the spot, looked up at Wu Huaiwei with sincere eyes, and said, "Give me another pot."
Wu Huaiwei remained unmoved: "That was seven cups just now. I'll give you more after you've learned how."
"Then tell her to come back and continue learning as soon as possible," Zou Qian said impatiently.
Wu Huaiwei: "She can decide when to learn."
Zou Qian looked at Wu Huaiwei and said, "You are really useless as a master."
Wu Huaiwei: "..."
Her tone was chilling: "I am not her master."
Zou Qian: "Teacher? Dean? What other status do they have? If they can't control her study time, they're useless."
Wu Huaiwei thought to herself that this person should die.
Zou Qian seemed to hold back for a moment, but couldn't bear it any longer. She decided to talk about something to distract herself, so she asked Wu Huaiwei, "Do you really think she can learn the Nine Mysterious Techniques?"
Wu Huaiwei said expressionlessly, "As long as she can learn the Reverse Star Technique, that's fine."
Zou Qian continued, "You have such low expectations of her. Is this all you ask of someone who possesses all five elements and the power to control the Nine Provinces and the Star Sea?"
Wu Huaiwei was amused by his words: "Do you think the art of reversing stars is easy to learn?"
Zou Qian chuckled softly, "Not easy to learn? She already knows it."
Wu Huaiwei was stunned.
“Although I am from the Nine Provinces Star Sea, I am lacking in the Five Elements, and can only use the Water element. I cannot learn your Reverse Star Technique.” Zou Qian frowned, but the five fingers on her neck were pressing hard, scratching the skin raw. “On the other hand, her Five Elements are in harmony, and she is a perfect match for your concept of the two poles of the Reverse Star. This is the advantage brought by her talent.”
"Besides, she's not stupid."
Wu Huaiwei couldn't help but say, "She's very smart."
Zou Qian said, "The Nine Provinces Star Sea makes her limitless, and now that the three thousand stars have returned to their positions, she can break through your Reverse Star Circulation. She has indeed comprehended your Reverse Star Technique, but she is not yet familiar with the Yin-Yang School's techniques, so she does not know how to use this power completely and correctly."
After saying that, he pointed at Wu Huaiwei with his gaze: "You noticed it too, didn't you?"
Wu Huaiwei looked thoughtfully down the mountain, the image of Yu Sui's departing figure flashing through her mind. Her tone was ambiguous: "She has learned too many different things, which makes it impossible for her to properly apply any particular school of techniques."
Mei Liangyu did not go up the mountain this time, but listened to Yu Sui and waited at the foot of Yue Mountain.
Before long, he saw a familiar figure running out from the mountain path.
The mountain path was damp with mist at night, attracting fireflies that danced among the trees, rising and falling, sometimes near, sometimes far. The fireflies' light, illuminating the night, brushed against the girl's still slightly damp skirt, and her steps were as light as the fireflies in the forest, shimmering and captivating Mei Liangyu's gaze.
"Senior brother!"
Yu Sui ran towards Mei Liangyu, who was standing at the entrance of the mountain path, with a smile on her face. She walked through the shadows of the trees and stepped over the stone steps, not caring about the fallen leaves that were swishing up in the night wind and clinging to her skirt.
She still had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, and her whole body looked as if she had just come out of the water, still carrying a damp feeling, like a butterfly that had just flown back from the sea, having traveled thousands of miles and endured countless hardships.
In Mei Liangyu's mind, the smiling face before her overlapped with a moment from a while ago, the night Yu Sui had just learned the Wind Control Technique.
She turned around under the peach blossoms falling in profusion, and her smiling eyes left a deep impression on Mei Liangyu.
He only learned the art of controlling the wind.
But the sight of the girl's genuine smile was something he could never forget.
On that day, Mei Liangyu realized that there were few opportunities to make his junior sister have such a mindset and show such a smile, and that it was an extremely precious scene.
At this moment, Mei Liangyu believed that anyone who witnessed this scene and was watched by Yu Sui running towards them was the luckiest person in the world.
Luckily, that person was me.
It can only be me.
Mei Liangyu stared intently at Yu Sui, watching her walk through the shadows of the trees in the mountains at night, step over the blue stone steps, and come to stand in front of him.
"Why are you running so fast?" Mei Liangyu reached out and supported Yu Sui's shoulder, helping Yu Sui, who was staggering as she jumped down the stone steps, to regain her balance.
"I want to run even faster." Yu Sui looked up at him and smiled.
Her dark, bright eyes, when they gaze intently at you, possess a captivating magic that makes you unable to tear yourself away.
Mei Liangyu shook the food box she was carrying in her other hand: "Where are we eating?"
After saying that, he gently sniffed the area in front of him and asked her, "Did you fall into the water?"
Yu Sui also grabbed his sleeve, raised his hand to his nose and smelled it: "Let's eat here, I'm a little hungry. It's Dean Zou's Water Manifestation spell, it's very powerful. I was drowned many times today in his Water Manifestation spell. Senior brother, do you know this spell?"
"Water Myriad Phenomena? I haven't learned it yet." Mei Liangyu sat down with her on the stone steps, placed the food box between them, and tacitly began to unpack it. "The Yin-Yang School's Five Elements Myriad Phenomena can only be learned after one possesses a Divine Soul Core."
"Wasn't Dean Wu teaching you?" Mei Liangyu moved the lid of the food box aside. "Why is Dean Zou here too?"
“I told you during the day that he came to Yueshan looking for wine, but he was caught by Dean Wu. After I sent you away, I went to the Star Observatory with Dean Wu, and he was locked up there.” Yu Sui ate the roasted meat bun that Mei Liangyu had brought her, puffing out one cheek as she explained to him, “Dean Wu lured him with wine and made him teach me the Star Constellation Formation.”
“Dean Zou…” Mei Liangyu listened thoughtfully, “is not a Yin-Yang School dean who knows how to teach people.”
Yu Sui nodded in agreement: "He really didn't seem to be teaching me, but rather trying to kill me. However, in that life-or-death situation, I learned faster than at other times."
She spoke in a light tone, without a trace of complaint. Even though she had drowned in the water many times, the final gains made Yu Sui feel extremely satisfied.
"By the way, senior brother, do you know why Dean Zou is always scratching his neck?" Yu Sui looked at Mei Liangyu curiously. "He can't stop even when he's scratching himself raw. Dean Wu said it's the Pearl Heart Mantra? What is the Pearl Heart Mantra?"
“A vicious Yin-Yang School curse.” Mei Liangyu explained, while squinting as he recalled the scene he had seen Zou Qian scratching his neck. “I heard that before he became one of the Twenty-Four Saints of Taiyi, he was cursed with the Pearl Heart Curse. He couldn’t remember what he considered most important until his death. Whenever he was about to remember, he would suffer from the pain of skin ulceration and would keep peeling off his skin and drawing blood, scratching himself to death.”
"Have you forgotten what's most important to you?" Yu Sui blinked. "What does Dean Zou consider most important?"
"Who knows?" Mei Liangyu leaned back slightly, his posture casual and lazy. "The saints of Taiyi all know what kind of curse he is under, but there is nothing they can do. There is no cure for this. Dean Zou thought that drinking would help him remember, so he kept drinking. But if he keeps drinking, he will keep scratching himself."
Zou Qian is still alive, all thanks to his strong willpower.
Yu Sui suddenly realized that although she didn't know what the most important thing Zou Qian had forgotten was, she didn't care now.
She couldn't help but ask Mei Liangyu, "Senior brother, guess what I learned today?"
Yu Sui's face practically screamed, "I want to show you the new 'Nine Streams Techniques' I've learned." Her undisguised and straightforward display stirred something in Mei Liangyu's heart.
Mei Liangyu suppressed a laugh and said slowly, "Let me guess, what kind of low-level technique did my exceptionally talented junior sister learn today?"
That leisurely tone of voice made one's heart itch.
He had barely finished speaking when he saw Yu Sui, who still had half a roasted meat bun in his mouth, forming hand seals, with star lines connecting behind him to form the Xuanwu Star Array.
Mei Liangyu had just raised an eyebrow when the Void Star in the Xuanwu Star Array fell to the ground.
A chill rose from the ground, and wisps of cold mist rose up. A huge creature spiraled up from the ground, its massive body emerging from behind Yu Sui. Golden vertical pupils and a scarlet forked tongue were visible amidst the vast expanse of cold white mist.
The Void Star General is a Frosty White Python.
Yu Sui had seen Mei Liangyu use this trick many times, and when she was able to do it herself, the first person she thought of was Mei Liangyu.
She had to admit that when she wanted to find someone to share the power she had gained, Mei Liangyu was her best choice at the moment.
“I’ve mastered all seven constellations of Xuanwu.” Yu Sui smiled and looked at Mei Liangyu. “I used to watch you and Senior Brother Xing Chun use this move. Now that I’ve learned it myself, the feeling is different. It’s special and wonderful.”
For Yu Sui, being able to learn something makes her feel incredibly satisfied and safe.
She is someone who needs to constantly gain strength to give herself a sense of security.
Mei Liangyu sat on the stone steps, looking up at the frost-covered white python behind Yu Sui. When she heard Yu Sui say that she had learned all seven constellations of Xuanwu, she couldn't help but smile.
He wasn't surprised; on the contrary, he felt a strange sense of pleasure.
"The Void Constellation General is quite good; it possesses the ability to break through the protective aura of others." Mei Liangyu also imitated her by forming a hand seal and summoning the Void Constellation General. A second Frost White Python appeared behind him, the two gazing at each other from afar across their master.
Yu Sui raised his head and asked, "Senior brother, which of our Void Constellation Generals is more powerful?"
Mei Liangyu thought for a moment and said, "Logically speaking, you, who possess the Nine Provinces Star Sea, should be more powerful."
"Really?" Yu Sui held the half-eaten meat bun in both hands, sniffed lightly, and said, "Then I won't stand on sect loyalty, I'll come and meet your Void Star General."
Mei Liangyu watched her leisurely, waiting to see Yu Sui make a move. Yu Sui pointed at the Frost White Python opposite her, made a shooting gesture, and said with a voiceover: "Bang!"
Mei Liangyu's eyes followed Yu Sui's gestures and saw the frost-white python figure rushing towards him, finally gently touching his forehead to the frost-white python's.
Upon seeing this, Mei Liangyu couldn't help but lower her eyes to look at the girl opposite her. She saw her smiling and playfully winking her left eye at her.
My junior sister is really happy tonight.
Mei Liangyu could sense her joy and relaxation. At this moment, she was more lively than usual, and her bright smile made his heart race.
One thud, then another.
Mei Liangyu couldn't suppress the laugh that was escaping her throat. Suddenly, she reached around Yu Sui's neck and pulled her forward, their foreheads touching.
Bang.
