Chapter 330 Therefore, the Five Elements Light Core within my body
Wei Ren was utterly shocked. He hadn't expected to see Nangong Sui at this moment. Just a moment ago, he was anxiously focused on Ji Meng's madness and killing of Ling Jian, and the next moment he found Nangong Sui and Gu Gan had found him together.
This unrealistic feeling made Wei Ren feel like he was dreaming.
Wei Ren wondered if he was mentally unstable. Could it be that when he encountered trouble, he subconsciously thought about what Nangong Sui would do, which caused this hallucination to appear?
"You..." Wan Qi had just opened his mouth when he saw Yu Sui's actions and shut up.
Wei Ren suddenly came to his senses. Wan Qi had also seen it, so it wasn't a hallucination.
Nangong Sui was not surprised at all to find that he was still alive, unlike Gu Gan, who was stunned and his face changed.
In other words... Nangong Sui knows I'm not dead.
Wei Ren pressed down on his wildly beating heart; all his previous guesses seemed to be confirmed at this moment.
That night, Nangong Sui deliberately let him go using the undercurrent of the sea.
Gu Gan came for Ji Meng, but stopped because of Wei Ren. After noticing Yu Sui following, he came to his senses and calmly asked, "Wei Ren? You're not dead."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you." Wei Ren shrugged.
Wan Qi looked at Wei Ren, then at Gu Gan, wondering if he was dead or not.
He dared not speak, after all, Nangong Sui had given him the signal to shut up.
However, Wan Qi couldn't help but gesture for Yu Sui to look at Ling Jian lying behind her, telling her that the situation had become very complicated.
Yu Sui glanced at Ling Jian, who appeared to be dead. Before coming, she had learned about Ji Meng's situation from Gu Gan. Ling Jian was most likely killed by Ji Meng after he went berserk.
Wei Ren and Wan Qi are probably completely baffled by the situation at this moment.
"Who saved you?" Gu Gan asked directly.
He didn't believe that Wei Ren would be able to protect himself under those circumstances.
The mysterious person who controls the Wind-Listening Ruler?
Does this person really have such strength?
Gu Gan didn't quite believe it; the most likely explanation was that the people present at the time were the ones who believed it.
Facing Gu Gan's interrogation, Wei Ren showed no fear whatsoever. He looked directly at Gu Gan, his eyes filled with disdain and pride: "I was saved by the two heads of the Farmer's School. What, do you want to go and argue with them?"
Within Taiyi Academy, there are only three Sages of the Farming School. Excluding Ou Rushuang, the remaining two are easy to guess; the couple is always inseparable and acts together.
Gu Gan knew Shen Tianxue and Pei Daiqing, and was familiar with their ways of doing things. Thinking about it carefully, if Wei Ren was really lucky enough to be swept up to them by the undercurrents in the sea, he might actually be saved by them.
Could Wei Ren really have such a good life?
Gu Gan felt gloomy.
He glanced at the pit, suppressed his murderous intent, and stepped forward, saying, "I'm not here to cause you trouble today."
Seeing him walk towards Ji Meng, Wei Ren sneered, "Do you think I won't cause you trouble?"
"You?" Gu Gan just looked up when Wan Qi and Wei Ren attacked at the same time.
Wan Qi, who had been silent all along, flashed between the two and blocked Gu Gan's advance, while Wei Ren used the spider silk to roll up Ji Meng, who was lying unconscious in the pit.
"You think you can just take him away like that?" Wan Qi stared at Gu Gan and said, "That's not a good idea."
Gu Gan looked at the cowardly and dejected-looking youth in front of him, wondering how long his courage to stand up would last. Both of them immediately activated their protective auras and began to fight without exchanging any words.
Wan Qi didn't attack first, but he clearly intended to block him. Gu Gan didn't hold back either, using physical techniques to attack, making Wan Qi very uncomfortable. He took punches and kicks, but he still firmly blocked Gu Gan's advance.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Ren used his spider silk to pull Ji Meng ashore, forming a cocoon. He had no intention of running away, but genuinely wanted to exchange a few blows with Gu.
Ideally, we should pin Gu Gan to the ground and beat him.
But just as Wei Ren rushed forward, he was stopped by Yu Sui, who had flashed in front of him.
Wei Ren abruptly stopped and withdrew his hand. Gu Gan saw this and reminded him, "Sui Sui! Don't worry about him, leave him to me!"
Yu Sui raised an eyebrow at Wei Ren. With her back to Gu Gan, her gaze was casual, but her tone was serious: "I will not let him take Ji Meng away."
"No" means you need to leave with your people immediately.
Unfortunately, Wei Ren didn't understand. He thought Yu Sui really wanted him to hand over the person himself, and he was having a brainstorming session.
When Yu Sui attacked, Wei Ren instinctively dodged.
If you want to take him back, then I'll reluctantly give you a weakness.
As Wei Ren was thinking this, he found himself at a disadvantage in his fight with Yu Sui. Yu Sui frowned and whispered as she got closer, "Take your men and leave."
These words sent a shiver down Wei Ren's spine.
In a flash, Wei Ren made a decision. He grabbed Yu Sui, who was standing close to him, and strangled her with spider silk around her neck. He turned to Gu Gan and shouted, "Stop!"
Yu Sui chuckled inwardly, then blinked away her coldness.
Gu Gan glanced at Yu Sui out of the corner of his eye and saw that Wei Ren had grabbed her. He kicked away Wan Qi, who was blocking his way, and looked at Wei Ren with a gloomy expression: "Are you looking for death?"
Wan Qi rolled to the ground, clutching his chest, and looked up at Wei Ren.
Why are you arresting her?
Gu Gan strode forward, and Wei Ren tightened his grip, the spider silk drawing blood from Yu Sui's neck: "If you want her to die, keep coming."
Gu Gan immediately stopped, his voice filled with murderous intent: "Wei Ren..."
"Anyway, I've already died once, what's there to be afraid of? If you don't want me to have an easy time, then don't expect to get anything out of me." Wei Ren spoke first, "Gu Gan, since I was able to come back alive and return to the academy as if nothing happened, it proves that I have the dean's help. You still want to cause me trouble?"
The last sentence was laced with sarcasm.
Gu Gan suppressed his murderous intent and calmly asked, "What do you want?"
Wei Ren said, "I think Ji Meng is quite interesting, I want to take him with me."
Gu Gan just stared at him without saying a word.
Wan Qi scrambled to her feet and rushed toward Wei Ren, whispering, "What are you doing!"
Wei Ren glared at him, signaling him to shut up, and quickly led Ji Meng away.
Wan Qi glanced at Yu Sui again, and seeing that she didn't react, he hesitated. At this moment, Yu Sui said angrily, "Brother Gu, don't worry about me!"
How dare he abandon you!
Wan Qi and Wei Ren both thought to themselves, "This is ridiculous!"
Yu Sui added, "He wouldn't dare to really kill me!"
This time, Wei Ren understood. He pulled the spider silk back again, forcing Yu Sui to tilt her head back slightly, and bright red blood beads slid down the transparent spider silk.
Yu Sui frowned.
Gu Gan immediately said, "Alright, you take Ji Meng and leave, and release Sui Sui."
At this moment, in Gu Gan's eyes, Wei Ren was already a fearless dead man. Such a person has no weaknesses and therefore no vulnerabilities to exploit.
If we don't go along with him, he might really do something irreversible.
Gu Gan dared not gamble with Yu Sui's life.
Wei Ren laughed and said, "I'm taking Ji Meng with me, and I'm taking Nangong Sui with me too."
Gu Gan's face turned fierce: "Don't even think about it!"
"If you can't take her away, then let her die here. It's your choice!" Wei Ren said forcefully.
Yu Sui frowned, looking distressed: "Brother Gu..."
Wei Ren said, "I think she has delicate skin and flesh, so I'm afraid she won't last long under the spider silk."
Gu Gan had never seen Yu Sui injured and bleeding before. At this moment, his killing intent towards Wei Ren reached its peak, but he could not act rashly. He slowly retreated and said, "Go."
Wei Ren immediately said to Wan Qi, "Let's go."
Wan Qi was afraid that Wei Ren would go mad and really kill Nangong Sui, so she hardened her heart and immediately retreated with the spider cocoon on her back.
As Wei Ren led Yu Sui backward, her clear black and white eyes stared intently at Gu Gan, who was slowly retreating and creating distance between them. Her gaze was shimmering, yet contained a hint of disappointment and surprise, as if she hadn't expected him to agree to such an unreasonable request.
This kind of feigned acting was Yu Sui's forte, but Gu Gan couldn't accept it, and his heart sank lower and lower.
Gu Gan retreated to the edge of the pit; any further and he would fall into it. He looked at the figure that had already reached the Blackwater River, took a deep breath, took out the Zhenfeng Lei and put it on; the black finger guard shimmered with golden light.
His eyes were fixed on Wei Ren's back. He summoned the power of lightning, drew his bow, and shot out three thunder arrows, which flew away with flashes of lightning.
The Thunder Arrow arrived behind Wei Ren in the blink of an eye, and Yu Sui had already noticed Gu Gan's movements. Before Wei Ren could react, she raised her elbow and rammed him backward, forcing Wei Ren to dodge to the side.
The Thunder Arrow grazed past Wei Ren's shoulder. Under the immense power of the lightning, Wei Ren dodged the remaining two arrows and jumped into the Blackwater River with Yu Sui.
Two more thunderbolts followed closely behind, golden lightning flashing beneath the black water.
Yu Sui and Wei Ren falling into the water gave Jing Lei Jian an opportunity. They were too fast, and the force of their flight created a series of bubbles in the water.
In the pitch-black water, only the light of the Thunder Arrow could be seen, and it was about to reach them. Wei Ren felt the black water was heavy and even suffocating.
When he caught sight of the Thunder Arrow, it was already almost upon him. He braced himself for being injured, but someone next to him pushed him away, creating some distance. Then, he saw two beams of light, one golden and one red, collide underwater.
The Fire-Tailed Tiger's crimson eyes shone like two rising suns in the black water. With its back to Yu Sui and Wei Ren, it held tightly to the two Thunder Arrows.
Wei Ren was puzzled as to why the Yin-Yang School's Nine Schools of Arts had suddenly appeared underwater. Amidst the golden-red light underwater, he could only see the girl's aloof face.
Is it Nangong Sui?
Wei Ren thought to himself in a daze.
Seeing that the Thunder Arrow had not spared Wei Ren, Gu Gan jumped into the waters of the Lake of the Dead without any hesitation.
Although the waters of the Dark Lake branched out in many directions, the currents were all equally swift. The chilling coldness underwater surprised Yu Sui, and his left hand, which had been scorched by the strange fire, felt icy cold.
They dodged the thunder arrow and followed the direction of the water flow. When they were almost there, Wei Ren signaled to Yu Sui whether he wanted to go up.
Yu Sui floated upwards.
Wei Ren felt that the lake was extremely cold and gloomy. He even had to ignite his protective aura to avoid being chilled to death in the water.
After getting ashore, Wei Ren was shivering from the cold, his face pale. As soon as he stood up, Yu Sui slapped him, leaving a red mark on his pale face.
Wei Ren turned his head to look at Yu Sui, and saw Yu Sui gently wiping the wound on her neck, saying casually, "Here you go."
The boy, wincing from the beating, rubbed his face and explained, "I need to talk to you, so this is the only way."
Yu Sui brushed away the moisture from her body, ran her fingers along her long hair, and turned her head to look at Wei Ren, her dark eyes filled with a hint of inquiry: "What do you want to talk about?"
Wei Ren rubbed his face and asked, "That night, the seawater flowed backwards, was it you...?"
“That sea has its own turbulent currents, it’s none of my business,” Yu Sui said. “I brought you to Shen Tianxue and Pei Daiqing’s side, whether they save you or not is entirely up to them.”
She didn't say things like "I saved you," but simply told Wei Ren about everything that happened that night.
Wei Ren was stunned by what he heard.
Undeniably, it was Shen Tianxue and Pei Daiqing who saved him, but without that Five Elements Light Core, Wei Ren would have died long before he met these two.
Wei Ren also sensed that, given Shen Tianxue's temperament and way of doing things, the reason she kept him was definitely because of his light core.
No one understands the state of his Five Elements Light Core better than Wei Ren.
From its previous damage to its later shattering, the Five Elements Light Core now functioning perfectly within his body is not his at all.
The question that has been lingering in my mind is about to be answered.
Wei Ren said in a trembling voice, "So the Five Elements Light Core in my body is..."
Yu Sui looked away: "Some things are better left unsaid, as long as you know them."
