Chapter 300 Then I'm going to start saying bad things about Senior Brother Pu.
After seeing Situ Jin off, Yu Sui went back and told Li Jinshuang about his delivery of medicine.
Li Jinshuang looked somewhat bewildered, and it took her a while to react before nodding to indicate that she understood.
Yu Sui said, "Situ Jin seems very busy."
Li Jinshuang recalled: "He said that although he was cultivating at Taiyi Academy, he would occasionally go back to manage the affairs of the government agency."
Yu Sui: "Such a busy person still remembers the time you left the Broken Sword Domain. Your memory is really good."
Li Jinshuang didn't understand the other meaning in her words, but nodded in agreement. Situ Jin's memory was indeed good.
Yu Sui didn't tease her any further. Li Jinshuang was completely clueless about such things and had no interest in them whatsoever. Even if Situ Jin directly said, "I like you," she would only ask why in confusion.
Simply put, Li Jinshuang is a blockhead.
News of Sheng Fei's confinement spread, and Xue Mushi sent a telepathic message to Yu Sui, asking her, "Will your brother's confinement affect his ability to decipher the inscription?"
Yu Sui placed the wind-listening ruler on the table, turned on the speakerphone, and began applying medicine to Li Jinshuang's back.
“Given his temper, he’ll most likely be affected,” Yu Sui said.
Li Jinshuang listened intently.
Xue Mushi added, "I heard that the length of his confinement hasn't been decided yet, but since Su Xingchao is also a disciple of a famous family, they will definitely find a way to keep him locked up for longer."
Yu Sui said, "Then let's see whether Su Xingchao or my third brother is doing better in the Ming family."
Even something as simple as solitary confinement requires her help; Sheng Fei has wasted all these years in Taiyi.
Yu Sui was aware that there were members of the Nangong family among the Taiyi instructors.
“Dean Zhu and my father have a good relationship and have cooperated with each other. Dean Zhu can’t keep him locked up for too long, at most one day,” Yu Sui said. “Su Xingchao and the others… it should be said that our Chairman Pu is not calculating the number of days Third Brother will be locked up, but the relationship between him and Gu Gan.”
“If I rush to ask Gu Gan for help, Gu Gan will definitely agree. Then he will bring my third brother out, and my third brother will only be angrier and hold a grudge about this matter. He will then have no mind to concentrate on deciphering the ancient inscription.”
Therefore, it was the right thing to do not go to Gu Gan.
Dean Zhu will handle this.
The bet between Sheng Fei and Su Xingchao was already attracting attention.
Pu Heng also knew that Sheng Fei and Gu Gan not only had the help of saints behind them, but also powerful families, and their friends were all rich and noble. This was because the confinement could not last too long.
It would be best if he could be kept in captivity for a longer period of time, but Pu Heng's plan was to directly disrupt Sheng Fei's mindset, making him completely unable and unwilling to focus on deciphering the ancient inscriptions.
Xue Mushi: "You're included in this too?"
Yu Sui said, "I guess Chairman Pu is also very dissatisfied with me now, because I said in the medicinal bath hall that I heard Chen Jie's voice at the time."
Li Jinshuang frowned upon hearing this: "Pu Heng has a very good reputation within the academy, so why would he want to avenge someone like Chen Jie?"
"Li Jinshuang is here too?" Xue Mushi only noticed this now.
“She went out for her trial today.” After answering Xue Mushi, Yu Sui answered Li Jinshuang’s question. “President Pu is in need of manpower right now. Chen Jie’s Triple Eye will definitely be very useful to him. He will be angry and seek revenge when his own pawn is suddenly destroyed.”
Xue Mushi murmured, "Does Pu Heng want the fragments of the Floating Pagoda?"
Yu Sui lowered her head and blew on the ointment on Li Jinshuang's finger, then smiled and said, "Maybe he wants to go home this year."
After treating Li Jinshuang's injuries, Yu Sui went to Yueshan.
Wu Huaiwei disliked going to the Yin-Yang School's office and would take all matters back to Yueshan to handle, which is why Pu Heng could appear to frequently visit Yueshan.
However, Pu Heng always needed to inform Wu Huaiwei before going to Yueshan, and sometimes he couldn't go in without permission.
Yu Sui was different; Wu Huaiwei wanted her to go to Yueshan every day, wishing she could live there.
She went to Yueshan because Wu Huaiwei told her that Pu Heng was there, so she went to meet him.
When Yu Sui arrived, Pu Heng was just coming out of the house. He turned around and saw Yu Sui walking up the steps. He was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained his composure and smiled.
"Senior Brother Pu," Yu Sui said with a smile, "Are you here today also to report to Dean Wu?"
Pu Heng nodded and said, "The Hundred Families Night Parade will be held soon, and the Yin-Yang Academy will need to set up protective barriers in many places at that time."
Yu Sui looked completely bewildered, but finally nodded repeatedly: "I've only been in Taiyi for a year, and I don't know what the Hundred Schools Night Parade is like. Senior Brother Pu, you should hurry up and get busy."
Pu Heng watched her walk past him into the house, his expression gentle, but his eyes held a hint of inquiry.
Surely she knows that Sheng Fei is imprisoned?
But she doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all. Or has she already gone to see Gu Gan?
Pu Heng knew that Yu Sui frequently visited Yue Mountain, but he couldn't tell anyone, as that would offend Wu Huaiwei.
If Wu Huaiwei were to make trouble, the outcome would be one he couldn't afford to take, and he didn't want to gamble on it.
Even if Nangong Sui came to Dean Wu for help with Sheng Fei's matter, Dean Wu would not agree.
Pu Heng knew that Wu Huaiwei wouldn't interfere in the disputes among the academy's disciples, but he couldn't expose those sordid matters to Wu Huaiwei's nose.
After entering the room, Yu Sui first gave Wu Huaiwei a big smile: "Dean Wu."
Wu Huaiwei was fiddling with the books on the table, glancing at her with a half-smile.
"Did Senior Brother Pu come to report on the Yin-Yang Academy?" Yu Sui naturally walked to the other side of the table and sat down obediently.
Wu Huaiwei: "What, you're asking about the Yin-Yang Academy because you want to transfer here?"
Yu Sui: "I was just curious because I saw Senior Brother Pu running to Yue Mountain every day."
Wu Huaiwei flipped through the book, glanced up at her, and silently gestured for her to speak.
Yu Sui sat up straight and said, "Then I'll just have to say bad things about Senior Brother Pu."
Wu Huaiwei chuckled at her words and tapped the table with her finger: "Tell me about it."
“Last time, the students from the Yin-Yang Academy mistakenly thought that you and Dean Zou were privately tutoring Senior Brother Pu on Yue Mountain, so they went to Dean Yin to stop them,” Yu Sui said. “If Senior Brother Pu did this on purpose, what would you do?”
Wu Huaiwei asked casually, "Do you have any evidence to prove that Pu Heng did it on purpose?"
Yu Sui shook her head and honestly replied, "No."
Wu Huaiwei: "You dare to accuse someone even though they didn't exist?"
Yu Sui: "Wasn't I talking badly about someone?"
Wu Huaiwei was both angry and speechless: "Even if he did it, it's all in the past, my anger has subsided, and he didn't cause any damage."
Then she changed the subject: "You're not afraid that Pu Heng will tell everyone about what happened in Yueshan, are you?"
Yu Sui: "I'm not worried about that. I know Senior Brother Pu wouldn't dare."
It's not that I can't, it's that I don't dare.
Wu Huaiwei also said, "He really doesn't know how. Pu Heng knows what he should and shouldn't do."
Yu Sui came to ask Wu Huaiwei whether she had authorized Pu Heng to do certain things, or whether Dean Wu knew about them but didn't care.
"Senior Brother Pu is the president of the Qingyun Association. Dean Zou said that he was helped to rise to prominence by you."
"You believe everything Zou Qian says?" Wu Huaiwei sneered. "Whether Pu Heng wants to start the Qingyun Society or the Baiyun Society is his own decision, and how far he can go is also up to his personal ability."
Wu Huaiwei thought for a moment and then said, "Are you afraid that Qingyun will target the scions of aristocratic families?"
Yu Sui shook her head.
Wu Huaiwei looked at her: "What makes you think Pu Heng is blocking your way?"
Yu Sui said, "He wants to take my things from me."
Wu Huaiwei understood: "Fragments of the Floating Pagoda?"
Yu Sui nodded: "I'm afraid that if I hurt Senior Brother Pu, it will also make you sad."
Wu Huaiwei gave a light hum, then looked down at her book and said, "The Hundred Schools Night Parade is about to begin. At that time, the academy will not prohibit private fights. Every year at this time, they fight fiercely, destroying a lot of things. Some people are injured, some die, and when it ends, a group of disciples will leave Taiyi."
"Don't think about hurting others first; just make sure you don't get hurt by others in the end."
Yu Sui nodded and said, "Okay."
Wu Huaiwei added, "The Hundred Schools Night Parade also allows for the testing of identities. Disciples of the Military School can challenge the Taoist School's trials, and some forbidden areas will be opened to the public. You can also try to seize the rare weapons and treasures of each school."
Yu Sui listened attentively and continued to nod.
"But sometimes going it alone isn't enough. It's best to team up with others. Having more people can also prevent your belongings from being stolen."
Wu Huaiwei said, "Even if all the disciples in the academy chase after you and beat you up, the instructors and the dean won't interfere, because it's allowed by the rules."
Yu Sui nodded twice to indicate that she remembered.
Wu Huaiwei looked up at her, then suddenly sneered, "Your senior brother used to steal things and hide them in the Ghost Dao Holy Hall. No one else could get in, so they could only watch helplessly from the outside. So later, a rule was added that Ghost Dao disciples are not allowed to enter the Ghost Dao Holy Hall and disturb the spirits of the dead during the Hundred Families Night Parade."
Yu Sui: "..."
Even the academy's saints might not be able to enter the Ghost Path Sanctuary. With my senior brother hiding there, no one can compete with him anymore.
Wu Huaiwei said leisurely, "So if you incur the wrath of the masses, or obtain something exceptionally good and become the object of many people's covetousness, there aren't many places where you can hide. Think about it carefully now."
Yu Sui originally came to find Wu Huaiwei to test her attitude towards Pu Heng, but in the end, Wu Huaiwei grabbed her and started talking about the Hundred Schools Night Parade.
She later realized that Wu Huaiwei didn't want to talk about Pu Heng.
After Pu Heng left Yueshan, he sent people to inquire about Gu Gan's movements.
Upon learning that Yu Sui had not gone to see Gu Gan, Pu Heng knew it was time to make his next move.
Pu Heng stood in the pavilion, pondered for a moment, and then said to Dong Xiude behind him, "Have Princess Jianing invite Nangong Sui to tomorrow's Golden Pearl Banquet."
This Golden Pearl Banquet is a banquet for noble ladies jointly hosted by princesses from several countries. It is held the day before the Hundred Families Night Parade and only invites noble ladies from powerful and influential families to participate.
At this banquet, the girls are free to choose their targets and help each other and exchange information during the upcoming nighttime gathering.
Dong Xiude asked, "What if she doesn't go?"
Pu Heng replied, "She will go."
As long as Nangong Sui is interested in the Hundred Schools Night Tour, he will definitely go.
The noble ladies attending the Golden Pearl Banquet have participated in several nights of the Hundred Families Tour, but this is Nangong Sui's first time participating, so she will definitely go to the Golden Pearl Banquet to inquire about it.
Pu Heng believes that scions of prominent families all have their own familiar circles. They live in high-level circles and only care about the opinions of people in these circles.
Therefore, those who can harm or provoke them are all people of the same class.
Although Pu Heng only wanted to target Sheng Fei, Nangong Sui was also an eyesore to him, ever since she was allowed to freely enter and leave Yueshan.
