Chapter 191 Don't delay the cultivation of our future Yin-Yang School Saint!
Yu Sui went back and slept for two hours wearing the Extreme Sea Cold Jade. She woke up at the crack of dawn.
She reached up and pinched her brow, still unable to forget what happened last night and her master's attitude. After waking up early and washing up, she sat on the edge of the bed, concentrating, wanting to explore the starry sea again.
Concentrate your mind and gather your energy, let your consciousness sink into the sea of stars, and once again glimpse the vastness of the universe.
Although Wu Huaiwei acknowledged that Yu Sui's Star Sea was the largest Star Sea in the Nine Provinces, which spanned multiple levels, the stars within it were chaotic and disordered, and the energy was chaotic. Its power was even less than that of the smallest Star Sea.
Countless stars were in chaos and disorder, and Yu Sui had to find a way to put them back in their proper positions in order to stabilize the star sea and bring her the power of Yin-Yang magic.
Yu Sui felt dizzy after looking at it for a while, so she exited the Star Sea, rubbed her eyes, and picked up the Listening Wind Ruler.
A few days ago, Nian Qiuyan wanted to wait and see how things developed, but he couldn't resist sending a message last night wanting to talk to Yu Sui. However, Yu Sui decided to leave him hanging for a while longer.
Old Master Yan had already finalized the deal for the spirit puppets with the Situ family. He offered an exorbitant amount, and the Situ family, despite being busy rebuilding Beikun City, still managed to deliver the goods.
Following Yu Sui's instructions, Yan Lao asked them to temporarily leave the goods at Taiyi Ferry, with the merchant guild led by Blackbeard acting as an intermediary to guard them.
In addition, Elder Yan told Yu Sui today that he had sent Zou Yexi to Taiyi.
Yu Sui had a vague impression of this person, but not much. He only remembered one sentence that Old Yan once said when introducing him: "He can fight."
He is a very talented and powerful young man.
She used to pay little attention to the subordinates who worked for Elder Yan.
She wouldn't ask where Elder Yan found the person. Elder Yan wouldn't hide any information from her that she could tell him, and he wouldn't mention any information that couldn't be shared.
Zou Yexi was someone Yu Sui had only heard Yan Lao mention last year. He had only seen him once from afar and hadn't had a chance to get to know him before Yu Sui was summoned to Taiyi by Nangong Ming.
Yan Lao sent Zou Yexi to Taiyi on a mission, but also informed Yu Sui that if there was any trouble or if there was any need to use Zou Yexi, he should be called upon.
Zou Yexi will listen.
After reading it, Yu Sui got out of bed and went to the outer city.
There has been a lot of fog lately, and the ferry crossings near the sea are often swallowed up by thick fog at dawn.
The takeoff track of the Cloud Chariot Flying Dragon is suspended high in the sky, the golden track appearing and disappearing in the white morning mist.
This is the largest trading port in Taiyi, where hundreds of large merchant ships dock to stock up on and ship goods, serving as a transit point. Rows of inns and restaurants line the coast, half of which belong to the Nangong family.
Blackbeard led Yu Sui to the top of the highest pavilion with the best view, and introduced the merchant ships on the sea to her as they walked: "The ship directly in front of us is the largest and best-made merchant ship, called the Sanfu. The batch of goods you mentioned, Princess, has also been arranged on this ship."
Yu Sui walked up the stairs, came to the fence, and looked out at the giant ship on the opposite bank in the morning breeze.
Just then, I spotted the boy in green leaning over the side of the boat.
Zou Yexi was only sixteen or seventeen years old. He had fair skin and delicate features. When he stood still, he looked like a young nobleman. But when he moved, he couldn't hide the wildness that came from his upbringing in the city.
He leaned over the ship's railing, tossing a wind-listening horn upwards with one hand, his dark eyes darting around listlessly. Zou Yexi caught the horn, looked down at the sea below, and sighed deeply.
When will that mysterious young lady the old man mentioned contact me?
Zou Yexi was extremely curious about the other person's identity, and was so anxious that he scratched his head, but there was nothing he could do. Taiyi was such a big place, he couldn't possibly search every single house.
He checked the wind-listening ruler every now and then, but after waiting for a long time without receiving any news, he got so angry that he threw the wind-listening ruler into the sea.
With a splash, the wind chime entered the water, creating a spray of water.
With a snap of his fingers, Zou Yexi beckoned, and the golden five elements energy in his palm connected with the Listening Wind Ruler below. The Listening Wind Ruler, which had fallen into the sea, flew out of the water with a whoosh and was caught by Zou Yexi.
He shook the water off the wind-listening ruler and muttered, "It still works, right?"
Yu Sui smiled upon seeing this.
Zou Yexi seemed to sense something and keenly looked up at the opposite bank, accurately locating the spot where Yu Sui had just been standing, but she was nowhere to be seen.
Yu Sui went downstairs first.
Blackbeard followed behind her, reporting on the recent situation in the outer city: "Some time ago, the academy's saints swept through Landu, and various gangs were involved to varying degrees. Among them, Tianhe, Shishan, and Taixu suffered heavy losses and were almost crippled."
"Are all three of these companies cooperating with Xuan Kui?" Yu Sui asked casually as he walked ahead.
“That’s right. From what I’ve heard, these three families are covering for Xuan Kui’s production of gold sand in the surrounding island villages. The Tianhe Gang is mainly responsible for providing Xuan Kui with a base,” Blackbeard said. “Many of the houses and land deeds they seized before were used to cover for Xuan Kui.”
These people do quite a lot of shady business in private.
Yu Sui said thoughtfully, "The entire Tianhe Gang was wiped out by the academy's saints?"
"This is the information that has been released to the public." Blackbeard looked around, took two steps forward to get closer to Yu Sui, and lowered his voice, "It's just that some sorcerers on night patrol said they saw Wei Ling Shu's figure near the ferry."
Wei Lingshu was captured the night she caused trouble at Mingzhu Fang, but was later rescued by the leader of the Tianhe Gang. The sorcerer guarding Wei Lingshu was severely scolded by Blackbeard, which made the sorcerers of the Nangong family remember Wei Lingshu very well, and that's why they were certain that the person they saw that night was Wei Lingshu.
"Are you sure?" Yu Sui stopped and turned to look at him.
Blackbeard said in a low voice, "That man said he was absolutely not mistaken, but he only saw her that night and never saw Wei Lingshu again."
"The news of the complete annihilation of the Tianhe Gang was released by the Twenty-Four Saints, and no one will doubt it."
So Blackbeard didn't tell Yu Sui right away, and if she hadn't asked him about it today, he would have forgotten about it long ago.
Yu Sui thought of Ou Rushuang.
With this farmer saint who cares deeply for Xuan Kui around, saving Wei Ling Shu shouldn't be too difficult.
What's the point of sparing Wei Lingshu's life?
“Find her.” Yu Sui winked at Blackbeard. “Find her quietly.”
Blackbeard knew from her words that there must be something fishy going on, so he nodded in agreement and made the arrangements.
Before leaving, Yu Sui asked Blackbeard, "Did you see the boy in green on the Sanfu just now?"
Blackbeard nodded and said, "I remember. That boy was brought by the buyer, which is why he was allowed to stay on the ship."
“If he’s in trouble, help him if you can,” Yu Sui said. “But don’t keep too much of an eye on him, or you’ll attract his attention.”
Although Blackbeard didn't know who the boy was, he wouldn't argue with anything Yu Sui said and would just do as he was told.
After dealing with matters in the outer city, Yu Sui returned to the academy.
On the way, he received a telepathic message from Mei Liangyu, asking where she was.
Yu Sui said, "Senior brother, I'm on my way back."
Mei Liangyu: "What are you going to do in the outer city?"
Yu Sui replied, "To handle some business matters."
Hearing her say that, Mei Liangyu lost interest in exploring further and instead said, "From now on, you will study Yin-Yang techniques during the day, practice military strategy at night, and take some time at noon to listen to your master ramble on about the nine schools of ghosts."
Mei Liangyu didn't usually keep an eye on Yu Sui's cultivation unless Yu Sui took the initiative to ask for guidance.
Because he himself rarely uses the Nine Schools of Ghostly Arts, and it was quite difficult for him to learn them in the first place, Mei Liangyu would not have wanted to learn them if it weren't for the fact that the Great Sage was his master.
They simply have no affinity with the Daoist arts of ghosts; as they study, they easily become distracted, irritable, and impatient.
This is the consequence of forcing oneself to cultivate when one's talent compatibility is low.
But Mei Liangyu tolerated it all.
All for the sake of the reputation of being a disciple personally taught by the Sage of the Ghost Path.
Yu Sui had no objection to the time arranged by Mei Liangyu, so Mei Liangyu asked her to come to the dormitory to have breakfast first, and then introduce her to another person.
While waiting for her, Mei Liangyu also asked Yu Sui for her opinion.
When Yu Sui arrived at the residence, Mei Liangyu opened the door for her. Upon entering, she immediately saw Xing Chun sitting at the table in the main room, drinking porridge from a bowl. Xing Chun had just been chatting animatedly with Mei Liangyu, but upon seeing Yu Sui, he became somewhat reserved and subdued.
"Good morning, senior brothers." Yu Sui greeted them before taking a seat.
"Good morning." Xing Chun's eyes darted around, still pondering the relationship between the two.
Mei Liangyu walked back to Xing Chun's side, snapped his fingers, and said to Yu Sui, "Let me introduce you. This is Xing Chun, the person who will teach you how to operate the Star Sea. He is a disciple of the Yin-Yang School, currently at the ninth level, with a Star Sea of Grade A and 2,600 stars. He is also one of the students who managed to snag a teaching position from Dean Wu."
Xing Chun, who was drinking porridge, was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Who?"
Mei Liangyu, without looking at him, said, "You."
Xing Chun asked, "What am I supposed to do?"
Mei Liangyu nodded slightly and said, "Teach her to understand the starry sea."
Xing Chun coughed softly, put down his bowl, glanced at Yu Sui sitting opposite him with a well-behaved and quiet expression, and turned to ask Mei Liangyu, "Isn't this your junior sister from the Ghost Dao Sect?"
Mei Liangyu then looked down at Xing Chun: "Have you heard about what happened last night?"
Xing Chun asked in confusion, "Your master and our dean got into a fight? The whole academy is buzzing about it, everyone knows about it! And you didn't even have Nian Qiuyan divine why they fought."
Mei Liangyu pulled out a chair and sat down next to him, saying lazily, "Last night, Dean Wu wanted to take my junior sister as his disciple, but my master refused, so they fought."
Xing Chun was stunned after hearing this, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yu Sui with surprise in his eyes.
It wasn't that he underestimated Yu Sui; it was just that in his memory, Mei Liangyu's junior sister had mediocre talent, and what made her memorable was her beauty.
Xing Chun's impression of Wu Huaiwei changed.
One of the three saints of the Yin-Yang School, he managed to put the three thousand stars back in their places in just three years, created the method of reversing the stars, and made the Star Bell weapon. He was a genius sorcerer who broke through to sainthood at the age of twenty-six.
Wu Huaiwei also possesses the arrogance of a genius; ordinary people are beneath her notice, and she is also sharp-tongued and critical.
After becoming one of the Twenty-Four Sages of Taiyi, she never accepted a direct disciple, nor did she teach easily; she only opened up twenty student slots for her classes.
The students still have to rely on their own abilities to grab it.
The Yin-Yang School has the most students, with thousands or even tens of thousands vying for just twenty spots each year, making it extremely difficult to get a lecture.
What exactly did this arrogant and picky saint see in Nangong Sui? He actually fought with the Ghost Dao Venerable just to snatch the other's disciple away.
While Xing Chun was stunned by Yu Sui's reaction, Mei Liangyu explained to Yu Sui, "Chun'er is trustworthy. She keeps her mouth shut and doesn't like to meddle in other people's business. She's also Dean Wu's student. Perhaps you can have another chat with Dean Wu."
After a moment's thought, Yu Sui shook his head: "Not for now."
I need to put Master's mind at ease recently, otherwise it will be troublesome if Master takes action again.
Mei Liangyu understood, and reached out to pat Xing Chun's shoulder to bring him back to his senses: "You only need to teach her about Xinghai, nothing else."
“Why not use it?” Xing Chun took a deep breath, pushed Mei Liangyu away, and said to Yu Sui, “Talking about the Star Sea must correspond to the power of stars in the Yin-Yang School. It involves a wide range of things. Incantations, laws, techniques, and formations all depend on the strength of the Star Sea. It would be very difficult for your senior brother, who doesn’t have a Star Sea, to teach it.”
Mei Liangyu frowned: "Who's putting in the effort?"
Xing Chun ignored him and asked Yu Sui, "Since you want to understand the Star Sea, you must have already created the Star Sea of the Yin Yang School, right? Can I ask you how many stars are in the Star Sea?"
Yu Sui shook her head: "There are too many, I can't count them all."
Xing Chun said, "The largest star sea has three thousand stars, and the smallest has five. The star sea is connected to your soul, and you can sense it."
Yu Sui closed her eyes and did as he said. After sensing the stars, she opened them again and said with difficulty, "There are just too many. I can't sense the exact number. There are stars everywhere in the sky and on the ground."
She gestured with her hand, describing, "The world has no boundaries. I can see the desolate ground in the sea of stars, and I can also look up at the boundless sky from the ground. Stars are everywhere."
"Oh!" Xing Chun patted Mei Liangyu's shoulder after hearing this. "In the Nine Provinces Star Sea, who else would we take if not her? Mei Mei, hurry up and tell your master to release her! Don't delay the cultivation of our future Yin Yang School Saint!"
