Chapter 92 I'm not angry with Brother Gu either
Gu Gan was told he had left the Dragon-Slaying Cave and was in the Legalist open space. There were quite a few people around, and he could hear the other eliminated disciples cursing and swearing.
He clutched his wounded chest, raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his expression dark and unspeakable.
His plans were completely disrupted, and at that moment he felt like killing Mei Liangyu right there in the academy.
The mountaintop was right in front of them, just one step away, but Mei Liangyu and his gang messed it up. Not only that, they also ruined their chance to go to the Upside-Down Moon Cave. Gu Gan was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
If he could swallow this insult, he wouldn't need to stay in Taiyi anymore.
Gu Gan was still thinking that Xiang Feifei might have already joined the leader when he saw that Xiang Feifei and Xun Zhiya had been exposed, followed by Huo Xiao and Ji Meng, and the whole army was wiped out.
"..."
Gu Gan cursed Mei Liangyu's ancestors in his heart. He quickly stepped forward to support Xiang Feifei, who was unsteady on her feet due to poisoning. At the same time, he looked at Xun Zhiya and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was not seriously injured.
Xiang Feifei's face was deathly pale. Even though she had been released from the Dragon Slayer Cave, the poison was still there. She was somewhat delirious and leaned against Gu Gan's chest, biting her lip as she said, "I'm sorry."
Originally, he was taking her to obtain the Heavenly Secret Technique, but this incident happened instead. Xiang Feifei was somewhat annoyed that she couldn't go to Yechi, and unusually, she lowered her voice.
“This is not your fault.” Gu Gan’s expression was cold as he led her toward the medical instructor. “Clean up the poison first, and I’ll figure out what to do next.”
Gu Gan had just handed Xiang Feifei over to the medical instructor when he saw Qian Ying standing not far away, helping out at the elimination point outside while waiting for Gu Gan.
Seeing Qian Ying was not surprising to Gu Gan, but what made his pupils shrink was Wen Yanghui standing next to Qian Ying.
Why is he outside too?!
Xun Zhiya and Huo Xiao also saw Wen Yanghui, and both had unexpected expressions.
Ji Meng asked directly, "Why was Wen Yanghui eliminated too? Wasn't he at the tail end of the pack? What's so great about being eliminated at the tail end?!"
His voice trembled more and more as he asked those three questions.
Gu Gan walked towards Wen Yanghui and Qian Ying. Qian Ying was the first to notice him. Her eyes lit up at first, then she froze: "Brother Gu? How come you're here so fast..."
Wen Yanghui, who was sitting in a chair next to him, also turned around and saw Gu Gan and his group. He stood up in surprise: "What are you doing...?"
"Why are you outside too?" Gu Gan asked, frowning.
Wen Yanghui's expression was also not good. He recounted his experience at Longwei. Gu Gan's eyes twitched slightly as he listened, and his anger flared even more: "You used Golden Lightning to hit Sui Sui?"
Ji Meng was also stunned.
“I was targeting Su Tong. It was she who insisted on protecting Su Tong.” Faced with Gu Gan’s anger, Wen Yanghui also showed some dissatisfaction, frowning as he said, “Nangong Sui helped Su Tong and Yan Xiaochuan eliminate me, otherwise why would I be here?”
Gu Gan grabbed his collar and laughed angrily, "You think you can just swallow your anger and take it when you're hit by Jin Lei? Wen Yanghui, you'd better explain yourself clearly, can you not control your Jin Lei?"
"Hey." Ji Meng and Huo Xiao stepped forward to break up the fight.
"She's at the first level, what can she do to you? But you, as a top-tier disciple, how could you not control the offensive power of your Five Elements Qi?" Gu Gan's eyes flashed with malice. "If you did it on purpose, it's best if it only happens this once."
Wen Yanghui's face also turned cold: "Are you just going to let it go like this, Nangong Sui eliminating me?"
"If Sui Sui weren't Mei Liangyu's junior sister, would you have been unable to control Jin Lei?" Gu Gan's gaze was like a dazzling sun, instantly seeing through Wen Yanghui. "Since you were taking Sui Sui with you to pass the trial, what would have been wrong if you had let them pass? Why did you have to make a move at that moment?"
Wen Yanghui felt a chill run down his spine and avoided eye contact with her.
Because of his relationship with Mei Liangyu, he also disliked Yu Sui.
In Gu Gan's eyes, Yu Sui was pampered in Qingyang and well-cared for by the Prince's Mansion; she had never suffered such hardship. He had also experienced the pain of Jin Lei and knew what it felt like. Upon learning that Yu Sui had also tasted it, his pity for her instantly surged to its peak.
This was done by their own people, and Gu Gan felt a surge of anger rush to his head; nothing was going smoothly.
Sui Sui was well aware of Wen Yanghui's relationship with him. After being struck by lightning, she was taken away by Mei Liangyu. Didn't this give Mei Liangyu an opportunity to get close to Sui Sui?
The thought that Mei Liangyu had gained an advantage by seizing the initiative and thus improved his image in Yu Sui's mind intensified Gu Gan's dislike for him.
“Brother Gu, now is not the time to be angry.” Qian Ying pulled Gu Gan’s hand and separated him from Wen Yanghui. “Since it has already happened, let’s treat the injuries first and then make a decision.”
She gave Huo Xiao a wink, signaling him to take Wen Yanghui away and let the two of them calm down for a while.
Gu Gan was pulled down to sit on a chair by Qian Ying, his forehead still twitching with anger. He didn't know if Yu Sui had left the Dragon Slaying Cave, so he picked up the Wind Listening Ruler to ask her where she was.
Yu Sui was discussing with Xue Mushi whether to stay or leave when she suddenly received a message from Gu Gan. She glanced at it and was somewhat surprised to see that it was from Gu Gan. He had only been eliminated not long ago, so why did he have time to contact her?
Yu Sui opened the message and read it before realizing that Gu Gan knew about Wen Yanghui's use of the Golden Thunder on her.
Wen Yanghui and Mei Liangyu's relationship had already soured when they were teenagers.
After Gu Gan's elimination from the Dragon Slaying Cave, his malice towards Mei Liangyu will multiply several times over.
It is estimated that after this incident, Gu Gan will harden his heart and ask her to help deal with Mei Liangyu.
Wen Yanghui and Jin Lei's actions gave Yu Sui an excuse to avoid getting involved in Gu Gan's revenge and temporarily distance herself from Gu Gan.
In addition to Gu Gan's message, Yu Sui also received a message from Li Jinshuang.
It was the message that Yu Sui had asked Li Jinshuang to send every day: "I am a woman, and I can protect the Li family."
She really does post every day.
After leaving the Dragon Slayer Cave, all the previous messages were sent to Yu Sui.
At this moment, Li Jinshuang also took the initiative to tell Yu Sui that she had left the Dragon Slaying Cave and asked Yu Sui how Jin Lei's injuries were.
Yu Sui gently swiped her finger across her communication interface, put away the Listening Wind Ruler, and did not reply.
"Let's go out," Yu Sui said after pondering. "I tried to find out the exact location of the Floating Pagoda fragment, but Gu Gan didn't answer. He doesn't even know who I am and only relies on the Wind Listening Ruler to contact me. Gu Gan won't tell you everything. The secret realms and rare treasures in Taiyi are not very friendly to either of us. We don't know what triggering will expose the existence of the Strange Fire."
Xue Mushi recalled the trial at the dragon's head and nodded silently, agreeing with Yu Sui's assessment.
The greatest threat to them now is not the saints, nor humans, but those strange treasures and secret realms.
Gu Gan was more anxious and concerned than the other two about seizing the fragments of the Floating Pagoda.
Gu Gan's side has more people and is stronger. It's not their first time venturing into the Hanging Moon Cave, so they have experience. Under these circumstances, Yu Sui is more willing to wait patiently, as the risk is minimal.
Xue Mushi agreed to go out, but thinking of Wei Ren who had just entered the Dragon Slayer Cave and was about to leave again, he couldn't help but touch his nose, realizing he had made a wasted trip.
Wei Ren was currently keeping his distance from Princess Shangyang and her entourage on the opposite bank of the river.
He had done this kind of thing many times before, sometimes keeping watch on people for months at a time. This was only the beginning, and Wei Ren had already thought of countless ways to use poison and Gu to restrain the enemy.
Princess Shangyang was also bored standing on the mechanical bridge. She chatted with her friends and occasionally looked down at the river below, as if she thought Nangong Sui would emerge from the water at any moment.
When Wei Ren received the message from Yu Sui saying she was leaving, he felt for a moment that he was seeing things.
He asked one more question: "Did you get it?"
Yu Suihui: "Gu Gan has been eliminated."
Wei Ren: "..."
ha!
It turns out there are people even more unlucky than him.
Wei Ren immediately stopped working and left.
The teleportation points for exiting the Dragon Slayer Cave are all concentrated in one place. The open space of the Legalist school is lit up, and instructors who maintain order and provide healing are coming and going on the sidelines, ignoring the noise from some of the disciples in the center.
Such incidents, where I eliminate you and then I get eliminated myself, or where people come to the teleportation point specifically to argue with the person who eliminated them, happen every year. It's quite common. As long as things don't get too out of hand, the instructors usually turn a blind eye and let it go.
Many instructors also enjoy watching their students tear each other apart over elimination, and at these times, you can always hear a lot of strange things.
Yu Sui and Xue Mushi were teleported out and stood in the bustling crowd. To their left were people pushing and shoving each other, and to their right were people hurling insults at each other. The two of them stood quietly in the middle, which seemed a bit strange.
As soon as Wei Ren came out, he saw Yu Sui and Xue Mushi in the crowd ahead emerge with a golden light that transformed into a dragon. The dragon roamed the entire area and emitted a deep dragon roar, announcing that the two were the victors who had emerged from the Dragon Head Ye Pool.
Yu Sui: "..."
Xue Mushi: "..."
Two unlucky guys who wanted to leave quietly ended up getting all the attention because of the golden dragon dish.
Now everyone knows that the two of them went to Longtouye Pond.
"Damn it, how come this year a disciple I've never seen before got my Taoist Little Golden Dragon?"
"Nangong Sui?!"
"Remember those two glittering golden guys, brothers. If we meet again at the Dragon Slayer Cave next year, we'll take them down first."
"Isn't that Sheng Fei's sister?"
"..."
The group of people who had been arguing and fighting suddenly stopped, turned their heads in unison, and looked incredulously at the two golden figures right next to them.
Gu Gan, who hadn't noticed Yu Sui's appearance before, now noticed her too.
Gu Gan was somewhat surprised when he saw the dazzling person standing in the field, but he quickly realized that Yu Sui must have been brought to Yechi by Mei Liangyu. Realizing this, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.
Not far away, Wen Yanghui said in a calm tone, "It seems that Mei Liangyu has successfully brought his junior sister to Yechi."
Ji Meng glanced at him speechlessly, his eyes suggesting that it was best not to say anything at this point!
Li Jinshuang was about to leave when she saw Yu Sui come out and stopped.
"Cousin!" Xue Jiayue's angry shout came from the crowd, startling Xue Mushi, whose cool demeanor crumbled.
Xue Jiayue was furious when she saw Xue Mushi: "You actually went to Yechi behind my back!"
Yu Sui pretended to know nothing and separated from Xue Mushi, letting Xue Jiayue lead Xue Mushi out of the crowd.
Seeing that Yu Sui was about to leave, Gu Gan stood up and called out to her, "Sui Sui!"
Yu Sui stopped and turned around. When she saw Gu Gan, her eyes lit up, and she walked towards him with a smile: "Brother Gu!"
Then, his gaze shifted, and upon spotting Wen Yanghui, he stopped in his tracks, the smile on his face fading.
Gu Gan also noticed this. When he saw Yu Sui stop because of Wen Yanghui, his heart sank and he strode towards her.
Seeing this, Wei Ren, like Li Jinshuang, also stopped moving.
It's so much fun watching Nangong Sui change his expression!
Xue Mushi was pulled to the sidelines by Xue Jiayue for a lecture. With his head drooping, he glanced at Yu Sui out of the corner of his eye.
"Sui Sui, you just came from Ye Pond?" Gu Gan walked up to Yu Sui, his voice gentle. "Did you obtain the Heavenly Secrets Technique?"
"Mmm!" Yu Sui nodded, looking only obedient, but the smile in her eyes disappeared. She said, "Senior brother took me to get it."
Upon hearing this, Gu Gan clenched his fingers inside his sleeves, making a soft clicking sound.
He didn't reveal his disgust for Mei Liangyu in front of Yu Sui. At this moment, his gaze lightly traced Yu Sui's cheeks and neck. She had inevitably suffered some minor injuries and left marks when she fought in the Dragon Throat Mountain.
Gu Gan naturally took Yu Sui's hand and said, "Let's go over there first and apply medicine to the wound on your face."
Yu Sui stopped and looked at him expectantly, saying, "Brother Gu, I don't want to go over there."
"What's wrong?" Gu Gan turned to look back.
Yu Suichao and Wen Yanghui slightly raised their chins and nodded slightly: "He's over there."
Gu Gan paused for a moment, then softened his tone and said to Yu Sui, "I will make him apologize to you. This time, when we challenged the Dragon Slaying Cave, I was the one who sent him there to guard it and prevent anyone from passing through. I didn't expect to run into you. It was my oversight."
“What does this have to do with you, Brother Gu? It’s obvious that he didn’t like me, that’s why he attacked me.” Yu Sui frowned and said angrily, “He hit me with several golden lightning bolts. After I was hit, I fell into the water. You can’t use the Bagua Life Technique in the water. I was traumatized when the Crown Prince and the others tricked me and I fell into the water. He not only hit me with golden lightning bolts, but also made me fall into the water and almost drown.”
When Gu Gan heard her mention that past incident, he felt a pang of guilt and pity, and his imposing manner weakened considerably.
His eyes were full of pity, and he was about to speak to comfort her when Yu Sui angrily shook off his hand: "Jin Lei hurt so much, and it hurt for more than two days. I even fell into another army formation in the middle. If it weren't for my senior brother coming to save me, and Sister Yuezhen helping me remove the lightning mark, I would have been in so much pain."
"Where in my life have I ever suffered like this?"
"I don't want to go there. It's not that I'm angry with Brother Gu, but I feel disgusted whenever I see him."
Gu Gan couldn't refute a single word Yu Sui said. Just as he was about to take Yu Sui's hand again, Yu Sui turned and left. He called out, "Sui Sui."
She didn't turn around.
Gu Gan followed along, his head aching, trying to soothe him as he went.
“This will absolutely not happen again. I’ll have Wen Yanghui apologize to you,” Gu Gan said.
Yu Sui lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "I won't forgive him even if he apologizes. He's already hit me, and I'm the one who's in pain. What's the use of apologizing?"
Gu Gan coaxed her, saying, "Wen Yanghui said before that he was in the wrong. If I hadn't said that no one could go over there, he wouldn't have made a move."
Yu Sui was still annoyed and said, "I don't want to pay attention to him. Anyway, my senior brother said he would help me get revenge."
Gu Gan felt a sharp twitch in his forehead upon hearing this.
It's my senior brother again.
She had barely left the Dragon Slayer Cave when she started calling him "Senior Brother" in every other sentence.
While feeling jealous, Gu Gan's disgust for Mei Liangyu intensified. He grabbed Yu Sui's hand and said in a deep voice, "Sui Sui, do you know that I was eliminated by Mei Liangyu? He's not as good as you think. If it weren't for him, the Prince's plan wouldn't have been disrupted."
Perhaps it was because of jealousy, or perhaps it was anger at being eliminated.
Gu Gan's tone was rather harsh, causing Yu Sui to widen her eyes slightly, as if she were frightened.
Gu Gan instantly regretted it, his eyes filled with apology. Just as he was about to make amends, he heard Yu Sui say, "But it was Senior Brother who led me out of the Armor Formation, saved me several times in the Dragon Slayer Cave, and finally took me to Yechi. Isn't that good enough?"
Yu Sui looked at him with a hint of sadness in her eyes: "Brother Gu, it turns out that in your heart, Wen Yanghui is more important than me."
She shook off Gu Gan, half angry and half sad.
This was the first time Gu Gan had been looked at like this by Yu Sui, and he felt flustered: "No, of course you are more important than Wen Yanghui!"
It's all that damned Mei Liangyu's fault!
Yu Sui was unwilling to listen any longer. She used this incident to give Gu Gan the cold shoulder for a while, so that he would not be able to ask her for help to get revenge on Mei Liangyu.
Gu Gan caught up with Yu Sui again, coaxing her all the way.
