Chapter 374 Hello
Sheng Fei suppressed his surging anger and coldly walked towards Qin Yidong to continue his attack, but Gu Gan stopped him.
Gu Gan said to Qin Yidong, "Your purpose in threatening Su Jichun was to get her to help you eliminate the other disciples who were vying for the Ghost Path God of Contract. Now that you have obtained the God of Contract from the Abyss of No Return, there is no need to torture Su Jichun with the Love Gu anymore."
Qin Yidong scoffed, "You're quite the chivalrous one."
She spoke sarcastically to Gu Gan, but her eyes were fixed on Yu Sui, as if she were silently mocking her.
Yu Sui looked back and said, "Princess, are you jealous that Brother Gu didn't show you any tenderness?"
"A nobody, a lowly person, dares to challenge me?" Qin Yidong turned to Sheng Fei, threw the antidote for the Love Poison over to her, and began to sow discord, "Princess Nangong, you have a frail brother, I truly feel sorry for you."
“I think after you return to Qingyang this time, your father will definitely look at you with new eyes and know who is the most suitable person to inherit the Nangong family.”
"At that time, some people will have to obediently return the famous and rare weapons and treasures that they obtained from Prince Nangong in their early years."
Sheng Fei could no longer hold back his suppressed emotions. After Qin Yidong's words, he remembered something and asked Yu Sui, "So, the reason you came to inquire about my bet with Su Xingchao last time was actually because of the fragments of the Spirit Character Collection?"
Yu Sui laughed when she heard this.
She didn't even know that Nangong Ming had given the fragments of the Lingzi Collection to Sheng Fei; it was Sheng Fei himself who revealed it.
Now it seems like she's deliberately testing the waters.
Yu Sui stared at Sheng Fei's suspicious and wary gaze, her tone gentle yet mischievous: "Brother, are you only feeling threatened now?"
Are you afraid that someone who was once penniless and weak will rise above you?
He used to be jealous of Gu Gan for receiving Nangong Ming's favor, and now he's jealous of his younger sister who's about to receive Nangong Ming's praise and approval?
Sheng Fei was indeed affected by Qin Yidong's words, and couldn't help but think about that scene, because Nangong Ming was a cruel person, and everyone knew that he disliked useless people.
He was unwilling to let himself fall to such a state.
“I thought you at least had some concern,” Sheng Fei felt his heart gradually cooling down, his gaze dark and indifferent. “If you want it, then come and take it yourself.”
Yu Sui still stared directly into his eyes, her dark pupils revealing for the first time the deep-seated indifference and contempt hidden within: "Sheng Fei, look at the two of us. You're the one taking our spots from me."
He always knew that.
Ping Shu could not possibly be the heir of the Nangong family.
His father always gave him things related to famous families, and he was well aware of this, which is why he pitied the girl who had nothing and could not get anything.
Outsiders call her Princess Nangong and say she is the future heir of the Nangong family.
He received what should have been given to an heir, but he was not in that position.
If this girl can master the nine schools of martial arts and her talent is no less than his, what else can he gain in the future?
Doesn't he want the things his father gave him?
Don't you want to?
Su Jichun is a mirror, reflecting Sheng Fei's disheveled appearance, making him want to try his best to repair himself in the mirror.
At this moment, Yu Sui's gaze made Sheng Fei understand what he wanted the person in the mirror to look like.
Qin Yidong glanced at Sheng Fei, whose face was pale and ugly. He was enjoying the show and had reverted to his usual feigned gentleness and true arrogance. However, his eyes fell on Yu Sui, and he thought to himself that he had really underestimated Nangong Sui before.
Gu Gan was also seeing the brother and sister confront each other for the first time, and he felt somewhat dazed.
Thinking back to how Yu Sui used to be caught in the middle between them, looking helpless and embarrassed, then being scolded and reprimanded by Sheng Fei, and finally having to leave with Sheng Fei and abandoning herself.
Furthermore, since he was the only one who had been mocked and ridiculed by Yu Sui in the past, and now that he saw Sheng Fei also suffer the same fate and lose face in front of Yu Sui, Gu Gan couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling secretly pleased.
"Sheng Fei!" came the instructors' voices from afar. They shouted, "You've already left the Night Walk and can no longer stay in the academy! Come with me now! You've disappeared in the blink of an eye!"
"You quit?" Gu Gan asked in surprise.
Qin Yidong looked at Sheng Fei meaningfully: "Going to such lengths for Su Jichun? I really don't know whether to say you like beauties or ugly ducklings."
"Then you'd better take good care of your face." Sheng Fei raised his hand and rubbed the wound on his slightly itchy cheek.
He had just looked towards the instructor when he saw the girl beside him step forward and call out in a clear voice, "Instructor! I voluntarily withdraw from this night-walking trial!"
"Sui Sui?" Gu Gan looked at her in confusion.
Sheng Fei and Qin Yidong were both stunned.
Nangong Sui's strength is now unfathomable in their eyes. This night trip was her chance to shine, so why did she suddenly withdraw?
"Are you crazy?" Qin Yidong asked, puzzled. "You don't want to continue the trial just because Mei Liangyu isn't here?"
Yu Sui looked back in surprise; she hadn't expected Qin Yidong to think that way.
"Don't talk nonsense," Gu Gan said unhappily. "What does this have to do with Mei Liangyu? Sui Sui, is there something you want to tell me...?"
“Brother Gu, you should know this,” Yu Sui interrupted Gu Gan.
When Gu Gan heard her mention it, he was reminded of the yin-yang symbol and was momentarily stunned.
Staying to continue the trial might lead to some unexpected events, potentially exposing the Yin Fish power within me... It would certainly be a loss.
Yu Sui didn't explain much. Compared to killing Gu Gan to get the other half of the Yin-Yang Pisces, she was more anxious about the situation of the Yin-Yang Monster.
The academy instructors approached Yu Sui to confirm the details, and then let her leave. Yu Sui headed straight for the outer city.
She told Xue Mushi about it before leaving the academy.
Xue Mushi said in the telepathic message, "Should I go too?"
Yu Sui asked, "How long can you control the insect transformation?"
Xue Mushi gave a number that seemed reasonable, but Yu Sui thought for a moment and then said, "You can't use the Five Elements Qi yet, can you?"
"Not yet." Xue Mushi shook his head in distress.
"Looks like you're aiming for the tenth realm!" Yu Sui teased before adding, "Then I'll go alone. You guard the existing fragments of the Floating Pagoda for now."
"Okay," Xue Mushi replied.
He hung up the message, rolled his eyes, looked at Wei Ren and the others in the next room, and scratched his head helplessly.
Wei Ren was still mocking Ji Meng, saying that they had already left the Abyss of No Return, yet Gu Gan still hadn't come to find him.
Ji Meng huddled in a corner, silent and afraid to speak.
Li Jinshuang asked Xue Mushi, "Is she still in the Ghost Path Sanctuary?"
Xue Mushi said, "She withdrew from the trial." Yue Ge
Li Jinshuang froze, and Wei Ren looked over in disbelief: "What?"
Wan Qi, who was still working on the medicine, was also shocked: "Nangong Sui has withdrawn?"
“She has something very important to do.” Xue Mushi frowned. “That’s all I know.”
Wei Ren asked, "Should we withdraw?"
Xue Mushi replied honestly, "She didn't say."
Wei Ren remained silent for a moment, then his expression twisted slightly as he said, "Could it be because of Mei Liangyu?"
Xue Mushi scratched his head and, following his words, shifted the blame to Mei Liangyu: "Probably."
After hearing this, Wan Qi understood and nodded without asking any more questions.
Only Wei Ren couldn't help but roll his eyes at Mei Liangyu's room, then said to Ji Meng, "What are you squatting there for? Get up and eat!"
Ji Meng then silently stood up, leaning against the wall.
...
Yu Sui arrived at the outer city and first went to the merchant ship dock, avoiding all eyes and ears to reach the cabin where the spirit puppets were stored.
The spirit puppets hidden here have not changed. The five elements light cores stored in their bodies have stopped upgrading at the eighth level. They simply circulate the five elements energy slowly and are self-sufficient.
She lit up the dark cabin, walked past rows of spirit puppets, and patiently waited for news from the Communications Institute.
About half an hour later, Zou Qian sent her a telepathic message: "I did as you said."
Yu Sui gently traced the cool surface of the ruler with her fingertips.
"Why did you suddenly withdraw from the trial?" Zou Qian stood in front of the three great mountains, looking up at the rapidly spinning colorful incantations above.
"Focus on your cultivation," Yu Sui said. "It seems there's nothing of value to be gained on this nighttime expedition."
Zou Qian yawned and said, "That's true, you've already got the Yin Fish."
He squinted as he examined the mountains before him, but could not discern any changes. So he asked, "What inscriptions do you want me to input into these mountains?"
"Why didn't you ask before you typed it in? Why are you asking now?" Yu Sui found it somewhat amusing.
Zou Qian: "There was no time to ask; my hands moved faster than my brain."
I don't know if this is a good habit or a bad habit.
"Do you think the mountain has a sound?" Yu Sui asked. "It has always been silent, only showing the form of characters and incantations. What would happen if it had a sound?"
Zou Qian laughed and said, "The idea is good, but can you really make the mountains speak just by inputting one inscription?"
“It has existed for a long time, and it only needs a command to awaken it. I’m giving you that opportunity,” Yu Sui said. “Now call its name.”
Zou Qian remained unconcerned upon hearing this: "What's your name?"
Yu Sui whispered to Tingfengchi, "Mountain Spirit."
Zou Qian thought she was joking, but since it wouldn't hurt to let the child play around, she called out, "Mountain Spirit."
The area inside the Listening Wind Ruler became quiet.
Zou Qian could hear the faint rustling sound of the three large mountains running at high speed, without any abnormalities.
"That's all?" Zou Qian raised her eyebrows and asked.
Yu Sui smiled, and at the same time, the two heard a somewhat childish voice, whose gender was difficult to discern:
"Hello."
Zou Qian fell silent.
Looking at the Wind Listening Ruler in her hand, which was faintly glowing with a green light, Yu Sui's unease completely dissipated, replaced by an indescribable sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
It was a success.
She played with the wind-listening ruler, hummed softly twice, and then couldn't resist tossing it high into the air and catching it.
Zou Qian looked at the Wind-Listening Ruler in her hand with a puzzled expression, and then called out again, "Mountain Spirit?"
A childish voice came from the Wind Listening Ruler: "Hello."
Zou Qian: "..."
What the hell? Where did that sound come from?
He looked up at the three great mountains, then at the wind-listening ruler in his hand.
Zou Qian said, "What kind of low-class tricks are you using to scare me?"
"Dean Zou, why would I scare you? I'm just introducing you to our new friend." Yu Sui caught the Wind-Listening Ruler that had been tossed up and turned around, just in time to face a spirit puppet. She smiled and looked the spirit puppet's face. "Mountain Spirit, please introduce yourself to Dean Zou."
The child's innocent voice said to Zou Qian, "Hello, my name is Shan Ling. I am a saint of the Yin-Yang School and the head of the Taiyi Yin-Yang Academy. Headmaster Zou, hello, my name is Shan Ling."
Zou Qian felt a chill run down her spine, staring blankly at the massive mountain before her, but subconsciously clenched the Wind Listening Ruler in her hand, putting the matter of the Heart-Bearing Mantra out of her mind for the first time.
He had never had such a strong research interest in mountains.
Yu Sui said to Zou Qian, "Dean Zou, I'm giving you a new toy. You should at least tell me what happened at the Ghost Path Sanctuary back then?"
