Chapter 259 I think you're the one who's gone mad!
Currently, most of the Xuan Kui members in Taiyi are Ou Rushuang's subordinates, while the rest are members from the other six countries.
In terms of the number of members, Qingyang suffered the least losses. This is because on the day Qin Chongxue arrived, he had already taken most of Qingyang Xuankui's people away as instructed by Qingkui.
However, some were not taken away and were left behind by Ou Rushuang, such as Zhang Xiangyun and others.
Nian Qiuyan looked down at the wind-listening ruler, and Yu Sui told him that if the sage found the mirage, he would inevitably find those who had been to the mirage.
Especially Nian Qiuyan, who is the one who makes the orchid poison, someone from the Mirage will definitely expose his identity.
But Yu Sui also said that some saints would define these students who had been to the mirage as having been deceived by Ou Rushuang and not knowing that what Ou Rushuang was producing was Lan Du.
After calming down, Nian Qiuyan looked at the message Yu Sui gave her again and felt a chill run down her spine.
What exactly did she do?
To enter the mirage, unless Ou Rushuang leads a group in himself, or two other agricultural saints come to the Misty Sea specifically to find the mirage, Nian Qiuyan really can't think of any other way to enter the Red Island Mirage.
Leaving aside the mirage, how did Nangong Sui persuade the Sage to help?
Nian Qiuyan couldn't help but close her eyes. There were too many things she couldn't understand, and even divination couldn't reveal the answers. It gave her a headache, made her anxious, and left her feeling insecure.
He calmed down for a moment and reread the message Yu Sui had sent: "Kill the others, only leave a few who know Qing Kui."
Nian Qiuyan wiped her face and made a decision as she put away the Wind Listening Ruler.
If you can't figure it out, then stop thinking about it. Just do whatever Nangong Sui says.
At least she could guarantee that she wouldn't die in Taiyi for the time being.
Nian Qiuyan went to Yuan Xi, Song Yubai, and others, telling them to strike first at those who knew too much, otherwise they would be the ones to die later.
The mission to hunt down the Lan Corpse in the outer city continues. The academy has not called a halt, so as long as one Lan Corpse is captured, the assassination can be carried out.
If they don't have time to kill, they can use others to do it.
The news that Ou Ru was seriously injured and on the verge of death was too sudden and shocking for Yuan Xi and other Xuan Kui members.
While his nerves were taut with extreme shock and fear, Yuan Xi suddenly received a message from Nian Qiuyan via a message dragonfly. He couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead and replied, "If you had told me any later, I would have started running for my life."
Discovering a glimmer of hope, even if it meant killing him to silence him, Yuan Xi didn't hesitate for a moment.
Although everyone is from Xuankui, they come from different regions, so there are differences in their closeness or distance.
Yuan Xi was full of energy, while Song Yubai seemed listless.
He joined Xuan Kui with the intention of rebelling against his father. He appeared weak, but deep down he was full of fanaticism and madness.
Song Yubai even wanted to see what kind of expression the arrogant Marquis of Linjiang would have when he learned that his son was Xuan Kuilan's corpse.
Just before dawn, the top-tier disciples of Taixu Hall were finally summoned away.
The pursuit, lasting a day and a night, had already claimed many lives. The list of corpses released by the Communication Academy included instructors from the Thirteen Realms and students cultivating in the Taiyi Sect.
Most of the Taiyi disciples found it unbelievable; some didn't believe it, while others finally mustered the courage to come forward and expose it.
Yu Sui and Wan Qi returned to the city moat and found that several groups of people were missing. After inquiring, they learned that one group had escorted the seriously injured instructor, while another group had gone to look for her, Wan Qi, and Qiu Cang.
Wan Qi asked, "We're both back, but Qiu Cang hasn't returned yet?"
"Dong Xiude led people to look for them, but there's still no news," someone replied. "What happened to you and Nangong Sui?"
Wan Qi scratched his head and sighed, "You have no idea how powerful that dazzling crane is. It drove the two of us to the brink of despair."
"The Dazzling Crane? One of the Five Animals of the Farmer? That's quite formidable. It's truly a miracle that you two, at your level, were able to return."
Yu Sui looked at Xue Jiayue, who was standing in the corner, her face pale and helpless, and walked over to her.
Xue Jiayue was staring intently at the Wind Listening Ruler in her hand, unaware that someone was approaching.
Yu Sui asked softly, "Are you alright?"
Xue Jiayue finally came to her senses. She turned to look at Yu Sui, pursed her lips, and felt both flustered and aggrieved.
She raised her hand to wipe her eyes, lowered her head, and answered in a muffled voice, "I'm fine."
“Your cousin is a bit slow and not very good at talking. I think you should know that since you grew up together,” Yu Sui said, pausing before adding, “You were angry last night too, it’s okay.”
Before Xue Jiayue could speak, she smiled gently and said, "Actually, you don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. There are geniuses everywhere in Taiyi. They were originally chosen as the first and second from among hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people outside."
Xue Jiayue replied somewhat angrily, "I know! They are all geniuses, but I used to have very talented people around me, like Tu Miaoyi. But because I've known her since I was a child, the difference in skill level wasn't very noticeable. But back in Taiyi..."
"Taiyi is full of strangers, which makes me feel like we're all the same. But they all learn very quickly, while I can never remember anything. When I first arrived, I met the disciples of the medical school, and we could talk about anything. But gradually, I couldn't keep up with their discussions about the Nine Schools of Medicine and topics related to medicine, and I couldn't understand them either."
Xue Jiayue frowned deeply, still keeping her head down and not daring to look at Yu Sui. She bit her lip and said, "I know... I'm too dependent on my cousin. It was my insistence that I come to Taiyi with him. Actually, it wasn't my aunt and the others who asked me to come and take care of my cousin. It was because I was afraid. I was afraid that after my cousin was sent to Taiyi, I would be left alone in Taiyuan."
Xue Mushi may not have told Yu Sui that Xue Jiayue doesn't have many friends her own age in Taiyuan, and only her cousin, Yu Sui, is with her.
Xue Mushi is slow to warm up. When they were children, Xue Jiayue would come to play with him every day, and the two gradually became familiar with each other. Because he was slow to warm up and slow to understand, Xue Jiayue felt that her cousin was more tolerant of her than others.
“I can tell that my cousin is seriously cultivating in Taiyi. He likes Tu Miaoyi so much, he definitely wants to become stronger so he can go back and renew their engagement,” Xue Jiayue said softly. “So I think I should change my overly dependent personality and learn to live on my own. I also want to become very powerful so that when I go back to Taiyuan, my aunt and the others will think…”
Xue Jiayue bit her lower lip, lowered her head, her eyes filled with tears, and couldn't continue speaking.
Yu Sui blinked, thinking that Xue Mushi was indeed very serious, but it seemed that he wasn't serious about cultivation.
However, Xue Jiayue was right. Xue Mushi's ultimate goal was to be with Tu Miaoyi.
Xue Jiayue took a deep breath, her grip on the Listening Wind Ruler tightening slowly. When she spoke again, her voice trembled with tears: "I...I really feel that cultivating in the medical school is too tiring, but with the help of Senior Sister Yu and Senior Brother Qiu, I feel a little better, but..."
Yu Sui took out the Wind Listening Ruler, opened it, and said softly, "But Senior Sister Yu is Xuan Kui Lan's corpse."
The newly released list from the Institute of Communications Technology includes the name of Yu Qiao, a disciple of the medical family.
"If she really is Lan Shi, what am I going to do?" Xue Jiayue looked up, her eyes blurry with tears, unable to see Yu Sui's face clearly. "I... I ate a lot of things that Senior Sister Yu gave me. Could there be something in those things...?"
Yu Sui took her hand and said, "It's okay, she doesn't dare to give the orchid poison to people directly."
Xue Jiayue felt both scared and wronged. Holding Yu Sui's hand and feeling the warmth of her palm, she suddenly burst into tears and threw herself onto Yu Sui's shoulder, crying loudly.
Yu Sui paused for a moment, suppressing the subconscious urge to push the person away.
Xue Jiayue cried, "What if it's orchid poison? How can I face my aunt and the others back in Taiyuan!"
Yu Sui gently reassured her, "It can't be orchid poison."
"Waaaaah, I didn't mean to argue with my cousin. That's not what I meant last night."
"Your cousin won't mind."
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry"
"It's fine."
"..."
Back in the outer city, Xue Mushi leaned against the wall and couldn't help but look up at the gradually brightening sky. He heard the conversation between two girls in the distance through the Fusang Pearl.
Although Xue Jiayue's words tonight touched him deeply, Xue Mushi still couldn't help but worry about his cousin who cried in front of Nangong Sui and needed Nangong Sui to comfort and coax her.
Will Nangong Sui dislike her even more in the future?
Last night, the way Nangong Sui looked at him was a silent mockery: Why does your cousin act like an idiot?
Xue Mushi could hardly imagine the expression on Yu Sui's face as she patiently coaxed him at this moment.
Fortunately, Xue Jiayue didn't want to embarrass herself too much. After confiding in Yu Sui and receiving her comfort, she felt much better.
Xue Jiayue straightened up, grabbed her sleeve to wipe her tears, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I've soaked your clothes with my tears."
Yu Sui said, "It's okay, just remember to buy me a new one."
Xue Jiayue: "..."
Yu Sui winked playfully at her, her smile bright.
Xue Jiayue knew that she was deliberately trying to make her laugh, and her heart warmed a little more. She nodded and said, "I will remember."
“I also often go to the medical school for external training. If there are similar classes in the future, we can take them together.” Yu Sui smiled with her eyes crinkling. “I have been a practitioner of mediocre arts for more than ten years. Compared with the talents of everyone in Taiyi, I am the worst one.”
Xue Mushi: "..."
You can fool others, but don't fool yourself too.
Yu Sui said, "There are so many names of medicinal herbs that doctors use, I can't remember them all. It's definitely much faster for two people to learn together than for one person to learn alone."
Xue Jiayue knew that most of what she was saying was to comfort her, but she was still amused and pleased, and her worries dissipated considerably.
“Okay, we’ll go together then,” Xue Jiayue said. “Medical practitioners have internal cultivation courses, and I’ll secretly tell you about them too.”
The two stood by the city moat, talking in hushed tones. As dawn broke, the fog dissipated, and the distant sunset glowed brilliantly.
A moment later, Yu Sui heard someone shout, "President! You're back!"
She and Xue Jiayue turned around and saw a group of people led by Pu Heng returning.
Dong Xiude, who was standing next to Pu Heng, was speaking to him in a low voice.
Pu Heng looked up and his eyes met those of Yu Sui, who had turned around. He smiled slightly, then quickly looked away and looked at Xue Jiayue beside Yu Sui.
Pu Heng approached Xue Jiayue and said, "Miss Xue, may I speak to you in private?"
Xue Jiayue was flattered by the invitation from this prominent figure in the academy, but also felt a little apprehensive.
Yu Sui offered, "Then I'll wait for you to finish talking."
Pu Heng bowed his head in thanks, and after Yu Sui left, he said to Xue Jiayue, "The Communications Institute has not yet announced the next batch of Lan Shi lists, but we ran into Qiu Cang on our way back."
Xue Jiayue had a bad feeling.
"Qiu Cang is the Xuan Kui Lan Corpse hidden in the academy. The evidence is conclusive. Dong Xiude personally witnessed him helping the Lan Corpse escape while it was chasing him."
Pu Heng's voice was gentle and soft, as if it frightened the girl in front of him: "Before Xiu De took action, he interrogated Qiu Cang. Although he wanted to make you take the orchid poison, he did not succeed, so you can rest assured."
After hearing this, Xue Jiayue felt her brain buzzing. She was both angry and scared, and the tears she had just stopped welled up again.
Pu Heng spoke up to comfort Xue Jiayue until she calmed down and stopped crying, then he asked the senior sister from the medical family to come over and continue to comfort her.
Yu Sui stood quietly in the corner, playing with the wind-listening ruler.
When Pu Heng arrived, she looked up blankly, put away the Wind Listening Ruler, and asked quietly, "Senior Brother Pu, what did you and Jia Yue talk about? She cried again."
“You’re right, Qiu Cang is indeed not a good person.” Pu Heng sighed softly and told Yu Sui about their encounter with Qiu Cang.
Yu Sui covered her mouth in surprise: "He actually did such a thing? He even tried to make Jia Yue inhale the orchid poison. He deserves to die!"
Yu Sui angrily cursed, but couldn't come up with anything really harsh. Frowning in frustration, she kept cursing Qiu Cang as a bastard, which made Pu Heng shake his head and chuckle.
Another group of top-tier disciples returned from not far away, while another group consisted of the Nine Capital Guards dressed in black and gold dragon-patterned robes.
Sheng Fei coldly mocked Mei Liangyu, who was standing beside him: "Judging from your formation, you'd look like you're escorting prisoners."
Mei Liangyu said lazily, "I'm just trying to help you out, so you don't run into the crazed Lan Shi on your way back and get stabbed twice by it."
I think you're the one who's gone crazy!
Sheng Fei was about to retort when he caught sight of Pu Heng standing not far away with Yu Sui, the two of them chatting and laughing.
His attention was instantly diverted.
Sheng Fei disliked people like Pu Heng; he disliked Pu Heng's formation of the Qingyun Society alone.
As soon as the older brother took a step toward his younger sister, the senior brother beside him had already taken the lead.

Sheng Fei: ? Why are you walking in front of me?
