Chapter 260 Sheng Fei: Mei Liangyu, you disgust me!
Not to be outdone, Sheng Fei followed Mei Liangyu and chased after them.
He was also worried that Mei Liangyu would cause trouble for Yu Sui, since the two were still in a "cold war" phase because of the Luo Fu ruling.
As dawn broke, the rosy light shone on the high walls. The thick fog of the previous night had dissipated, making the world appear vast and expansive in people's view.
Mei Liangyu appeared composed and unhurried, yet she walked steadily ahead of Sheng Fei.
Although the young man's expression was as indifferent and lazy as ever, it gave off a sense of unease, and one would feel pressure if they got close.
Sheng Fei frowned slightly, watching Mei Liangyu walk ahead of him. His damned competitive spirit made him call out first, "Sui Sui!"
Yu Sui looked up at the sound and immediately saw Mei Liangyu walking at the front.
Mei Liangyu's gaze swept over her briefly before settling on Pu Heng.
Pu Heng was somewhat surprised to see him, but still greeted him with a smile, "The Ninth Capital Guards are also patrolling the streets here?"
"You've really worked hard."
Mei Liangyu said calmly, "President Pu has also been busy catching the orchid corpses, staying up all night. If we're talking about hard work, you've worked even harder."
Pu Heng seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in his words and continued to laugh, "The Orchid Poison is extremely harmful. The six kingdoms have explicitly banned its sale, yet Xuan Kui is so rampant in Taiyi. If we cannot eliminate all the Orchid Corpses, I will not be at peace."
Mei Liangyu chuckled lightly: "President Pu is so concerned about the country and its people. If he is like this even in Taiyi, he will surely have a place in the imperial court when he returns to Dan Kingdom."
Pu Heng smiled and said, "Then I'll take your good wishes."
Sheng Fei ignored the two of them and took Yu Sui away.
"Third Brother." Yu Sui was led away by him. "Can we rest for a while at Chenshi? I'm so sleepy."
Sheng Fei turned to look at her: "Didn't you get any rest last night?"
“A lot happened last night.” Yu Sui told him about the pursuit by the dazzling crane, which made Sheng Fei frown.
He knew that something bad would happen if he left.
Yu Sui added at the end: "Fortunately, nothing serious happened, except that the armband was knocked off by the dazzling crane."
“That thing is lost, so be it. The Xuan Kui stronghold has been found. The rest is a matter between the Taiyi Saints,” Sheng Fei said. “Later, I’ll tell someone that you’ve been poisoned by the Farmer’s Poison, that you’re injured and unable to move, and that you need to rest. I’ll send you straight back to the academy.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than she bumped into Xia Feichen, who was walking towards her.
The two siblings looked at this son of the Legalist school.
Xia Feichen judged, "You..."
Before she could finish speaking, Sheng Fei interrupted her: "What? It's a fact that she was chased by the Dazzling Crane, her armband was knocked off, and you could see that her soul was injured?"
Xia Feichen glanced at Yu Sui, who was hiding somewhat embarrassed behind Sheng Fei, and then at Sheng Fei, who looked completely calm and arrogant. He lifted his eyelids, turned his face away, and pretended that he hadn't heard anything.
Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with that mad dog Sheng Fei.
Sheng Fei led her forward and asked, "What did Pu Heng want from you just now?"
Yu Sui answered truthfully: "When Senior Brother Pu came back, he met Qiu Cang and told me that Qiu Cang was the corpse of Xuan Kui Lan."
Sheng Fei said, "You know he's the president of the Qingyun Society, right?"
Yu Sui replied, "I only found out about it recently. When I met the Yin Yang School before, I never heard anyone mention these things."
“People of our status would never hear anything about the Qingyun Society, and very few of us have joined it. Every single person who joins the Qingyun Society is personally selected by Pu Heng,” Sheng Fei said. “The Qingyun Society helps those commoner disciples, but it doesn’t say that any commoner disciple can join.”
Yu Sui looked up at Sheng Fei.
Sheng Fei noticed her little gesture and found it somewhat amusing: "What's wrong?"
Yu Sui asked, "Third Brother, do you dislike Senior Brother Pu?"
“I wouldn’t say I hate him.” Sheng Fei narrowed his eyes. “As long as he doesn’t bother me.”
To be honest, Sheng Fei doesn't really have any irreconcilable enemies in Taiyi. Because of his background and abilities, although there are some who dare to provoke him, they are few and far between.
In Taiyi, Sheng Fei only had a grudge against Gu Gan; he couldn't be bothered with anyone else.
But if you anger him, that's another story.
If you anger Sheng Fei, be careful when you leave the outer city, as a large group of Nangong family sorcerers are waiting for you there.
Only Gu Gan could anger Sheng Fei, yet he didn't need to fear the Nangong family's power in the outer city.
Sheng Fei, fearing that Yu Sui might not understand, gave her further instructions: "Pu Heng is a very ambitious person. He is hostile to the disciples of higher ranks while trying to win them over. Even if you are not his enemy, becoming his friend is not a reliable thing. So no matter what he says to you later, do not agree."
“Okay.” Yu Sui nodded obediently.
Sheng Fei added, "Like the head of Taixu Hall, who, by claiming to be the most likely successor to the Taiyi Saint, has recruited many low-level sorcerers to join Taixu Hall."
Whether it's true or false, reputation is something you create yourself, and Pu Heng is no exception.
He finally arrived in Taiyi, and his own strength was not bad. He relied on the Qingyun Society to build his reputation, so when he returned to Dan Kingdom, countless nobles and aristocratic families would be waiting to invite him as an honored guest.
It's not surprising that Sheng Fei could point out the problem with the head of Taixu Hall.
After all, Sheng Fei had been in Taiyi for many years, and when he occasionally looked after the Nangong family's business, he must have learned some inside information about the outer city gangs from Blackbeard.
Yu Sui suddenly realized and said, "So that's how it is. Senior Brother Pu did it for his future."
Sheng Fei: "Your interpretation is also acceptable."
"Wait here, I'll go tell the instructor."
Sheng Fei went to find the instructor to report that Yu Sui was injured and unable to move, and asked her to return to the academy.
When he arrived, he happened to meet Mei Liangyu and his men from the Nine Capital Guards, who were also talking to the instructors.
After hearing Sheng Fei's words, the instructor nodded and said, "Then let's go back to the academy first. It's still a bit dangerous for injured disciples to stay in the outer city."
Mei Liangyu said unhurriedly, "This place is quite far from the academy. We have to go through the city and might encounter the pursued Lan Shi, which could be dangerous. Why don't I escort her back, just in case?"
Sheng Fei looked at Mei Liangyu incredulously, "You've become addicted to giving gifts?"
Before he could refuse, the instructor patted Mei Liangyu on the shoulder and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
"It's not hard work." Mei Liangyu looked at Sheng Fei with a half-smile. "It's only right for the Nine Capital Guards to protect their injured disciples at this time."
Sheng Xun: "..."
Zhang Pinghui raised his hand and asked, "Are you delivering it alone, or should we deliver it together?"
Mei Liangyu replied without turning her head, "I'll deliver it by myself."
Zhang Pinghui asked, "So, will you return it after you deliver it?"
Seeing the other person walk further and further away, Zhang Pinghui sighed and said, "I feel like he doesn't plan to come back."
The person next to him said irritably, "If he doesn't come back, just assume he's dead, dead in the arms of a woman."
Zhang Pinghui said leisurely, "He's finished. A person with a weakness is no longer the invincible bad jade he used to be."
Sheng Fei and Mei Liangyu walked back together.
Sheng Fei said with a forced smile, "You did this on purpose?"
Mei Liangyu replied casually, "So what if it is?"
Sheng Fei sneered, "A worthless judgment made you argue so heatedly with a little girl, and you even lost your temper. Is that all the temper you have?"
Blushing?
Furious?
That's just as absurd as those who call you the destroyer of the world.
Mei Liangyu scoffed, "You saw it with your own eyes?"
Sheng Fei: "So many people saw it, why am I the only one missing?"
Mei Liangyu then asked, "When have you ever seen me beat or scold her?"
"You dare to do this?" Sheng Fei glanced at him sideways.
He even beat and scolded Sui Sui. Even if you gave Mei Liangyu a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to do that!
Mei Liangyu looked up at the obedient girl standing in front of her, and said in a slow tone, "I dare not, and I cannot bear to."
Sheng Xun: "..."
The phrase "I can't bear to part with it" left him speechless.
Sheng Fei felt a chill run down his spine, and his first reaction was to yell back, "Mei Liangyu, are you out of your mind?!"
Why are you saying such cheesy and disgusting things?
The more disgusted Sheng Fei felt about this, the more dismissive and ambiguous Mei Liangyu's tone became: "If I hated someone, I would have killed him long ago. Why would I tolerate him eating and living with me?"
Sheng Fei: "Who ate and lived with you?"
Mei Liangyu said, "We eat together in the dining hall and live together in the sanctuary."
Sheng Xun: "..."
You're shameless!
Sheng Fei said fiercely, "Stop being disgusting. I'm warning you, don't even think about doing anything to Sui Sui."
Mei Liangyu: "My junior sister is well-behaved, cute, and lovable. How could I bear to be harsh with her? The quarrel we had recently was just a minor one."
Sung Ye suppressed his urge to hit her and said, "It's true that my sister is well-behaved, cute, and lovable, but what does that have to do with you?"
Mei Liangyu said, "I like her very much."
Yu Sui, who heard these words through the Five Elements Light Core, was slightly taken aback.
As dawn broke, the warmth in Yu Sui's hands, which had been tucked into her sleeves, gradually dissipated and turned icy. But because of those words, warmth suddenly returned to her body.
Sheng Fei was stunned.
A while passed, and he was still wondering what he had just heard. Mei Liangyu spoke in a low voice, his gaze fixed ahead. Sheng Fei didn't even have time to see what expression Mei Liangyu had on his face; all he could think of was the voice.
Who did Mei Liangyu like?
Year after year?
Mei Liangyu likes Sui Sui?!
What kind of pipe dream is this kid having!
Sheng Fei angrily chased after him: "Mei Liangyu, stop dreaming! You think you can..."
Mei Liangyu had already walked up to Yu Sui when he heard Sheng Fei's roar, and the two of them turned around.
When Sheng Fei saw Yu Sui's puzzled expression, he immediately stopped talking and subconsciously held back, not daring to let Yu Sui know that Mei Liangyu had said he liked her.
“You top-tier disciples have been busy all night, it’s time to rest.” Mei Liangyu stood in front of Yu Sui, smiling at Sheng Fei. “Don’t worry, I will take good care of my junior sister and send her back to the academy.”
Sheng Fei: "Impossible, I disagree!"
Mei Liangyu continued, "The instructor has already given his approval. Are you going to send someone who is injured and unable to move back on their own?"
Sheng Fei's exquisite and handsome face was slightly distorted. He wasn't thinking about escorting her back to the academy at all. Looking at Mei Liangyu, that disgusting line kept playing in his mind. He couldn't accept it and said, "No, you can't!"
"Third Brother..."
Yu Sui timidly peeked out from behind Mei Liangyu, "Maybe we should just forget about it."
After saying that, he yawned sleepily.
Sheng Fei calmed down immediately. Seeing that Yu Sui was really tired and sleepy, he couldn't help but look up and glare at Mei Liangyu.
He stepped forward with a stern face, grabbed Mei Liangyu by the collar, and Yu Sui cried out in surprise. Just as she was about to stop him, Mei Liangyu smiled and said to Sheng Fei, "It's alright. For my junior sister's sake, I can tolerate you this once."
Sheng Fei had never thought that Mei Liangyu was such a pretentious person.
That bastard!
He dragged the defenseless Mei Liangyu away. Mei Liangyu calmly straightened her collar, listening as Sheng Fei gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better escort her back safely. If you dare lay a hand on her..."
Mei Liangyu raised her eyelids slightly and glanced at him. Her indifferent gaze made Sheng Fei pause. Then he heard Mei Liangyu say lazily, "If I were such a despicable and shameless person, it wouldn't be too late for you to guard against me and stop me."
Sheng Fei snorted coldly and didn't say anything.
Although he now thought Mei Liangyu was truly despicable, he didn't really believe that Mei Liangyu was the kind of despicable person who took advantage of others' misfortunes.
Mei Liangyu remained silent despite being scolded by Sheng Fei. After Sheng Fei finished scolding her, he went to Yu Suiqian and repeatedly instructed her to immediately listen to the wind chime and tell him if she encountered anything unusual.
Mei Liangyu remained silent, watching leisurely from the side. When the time came, he took Yu Sui into the carriage and left the city moat without looking back.
After watching the two disappear from sight, Sheng Fei sat down at the table and began to stare at his Listening Wind Ruler.
The city remained quiet; the shops along the streets were closed, and no one was out walking around.
Yu Sui sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain to look at Mei Liangyu beside her, and asked, "Senior brother, why are you teasing Third Brother too? Is it fun?"
Mei Liangyu snorted softly, "Not fun, but funny."
Upon hearing this, Yu Sui smiled, her eyes crinkling. Mei Liangyu turned to look at her, her smile pure and innocent, without any hidden meaning that required guessing, making one feel relaxed and touched.
Seeing that she was about to lower the carriage curtain, Mei Liangyu stopped her, saying, "Just lift it like this."
Yu Suigang looked over curiously, but before he could ask a question, Mei Liangyu replied, "I want to keep an eye on you."
"Then why don't you just come in?" Yu Sui said.
Mei Liangyu also laughed and said, "No, I promised your third brother that I wouldn't ride with you, otherwise he would come over immediately and throw me into the sea of Taiyi to feed the fish."
The melodious, teasing tone, mixed with the cool male voice, actually sounded pleasant to Yu Sui.
Yu Sui had just realized that she actually enjoyed listening to her senior brother talk.
