Chapter 392 I Will Come for You
Han Ziyang felt like he was seeing a ghost. He calmly hung up the telepathic message and then crushed the Wind Listening Ruler in his hand with a burst of strength.
He said to the empty street, "If you're here, just come out. Don't try to scare people."
After waiting for a long time, there was not even the slightest movement, making even the morning light and shadows wonder who he was talking to.
After this commotion, Han Ziyang's boiling murderous intent subsided considerably. He left the spot after sunrise, pondering whether breaking promises was something only a member of the Communications Institute should do.
She must be a warlock from the Institute of Communications, otherwise it would be impossible for her to manipulate the inscriptions and locations of the mountains.
But isn't she in Taiyi? She's a student cultivating in Taiyi. Taiyi's Communication Academy isn't connected to the outside world, so how did she know?
Does it rely on a different kind of fire?
Han Ziyang didn't think too much about becoming the world destroyer chosen by the strange fire, because there were more troubles for him than the strange fire.
After several moments of shared experience, he also gained a general impression of the other world destroyers.
This young girl initially actively sought a way to remove the strange fire, but later seemed to change her mind and wanted to persuade the Destroyer to unite with her. So far... she already has two people on her side.
Nevertheless, Han Ziyang still had a bad feeling.
...
Looking at the interface where the voice transmission had ended, Yu Sui said to Gongsun Qi, "He's scared."
It is indeed frightening that someone can be on the boundless sea of Taiyi, yet know that the other party is far away in the capital of Qingyang.
Gongsun Qi asked directly, "Who is he?"
"I won't tell you." Yu Sui put away the Wind Listening Ruler. She only knew the killer's current location, but not his identity. "However, since he's in Qingyang, he might be a Qingyang native, which increases the probability that he's your enemy."
Yu Sui said, "I'm only half a Qingyang person."
Gongsun Qi felt it was necessary to make a trip to Qingyang.
Yu Sui glanced at the Listening Wind Ruler, not expecting the murderous maniac to be so afraid that he destroyed it.
Are you scared?
She rolled her eyes, then looked up at Gongsun Qi: "How can you be so sure it's not Ming Yueqing?"
Gongsun Qi replied: "If he had any intention of contacting other world destroyers, he would have done so many years ago."
“Now that his identity has been exposed, hiding from us is useless,” Yu Sui said. “Besides, there are people outside looking for him, even the serial killer knows about it. By the way, the serial killer is in Qingyang, so maybe it’s the Qingyang forces looking for Ming Yueqing.”
Gongsun Qi laughed and said, "You mean your father who is determined to unify the six kingdoms?"
Yu Sui paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's really hard to say. But what use would it be for him to find Ming Yueqing? It's better to control Mr. Zhou, who has obvious weaknesses, than to win over this medical sage who is isolated from the whole world."
Gongsun Qi glanced at her, as if silently asking, "You really don't know?"
In Yu Sui's eyes, he seemed to know the answer. The girl gently opened her mouth, about to speak, when suddenly she thought of someone, and her voice trailed off.
Gongsun Qi actually knew about Nangong's grandmother's injury.
Yu Sui looked back at Gongsun Qi: "You know so much. If you had acted sooner, some people wouldn't have died."
These words successfully struck a nerve with Gongsun Qi, who coldly laughed and said, "You think I possess a strange fire, but why didn't you burn Qingyang down with a single flame?"
Yu Sui remained silent.
Because Gongsun Qi had the same reasons as her.
I don't want to kill innocent people.
He restrained himself, unwilling to use the strange fire to solve the problem. Even as a general of Yan, he should unconditionally protect the people of Yan.
Gongsun Qi spared others' lives and gave them a chance, but ended up losing everything himself.
Yu Sui looked at Gongsun Qi, but thought to herself, "I don't want to end up like you."
No one can morally blackmail me.
Mei Liangyu pushed open the door and saw the two people standing quietly in the corridor, the atmosphere both strange and peaceful.
"Are you awake?" he asked Yu Sui.
Yu Sui nodded, then turned her head to look at the room he had come from. "Where's Senior Brother Xing?"
Mei Liangyu said, "He recovered very well after using the medicine treasured by the mechanical family. You can take him back to the academy later."
When Yu Sui heard that it was a medicine treasured by the mechanical family, she didn't think much of it and went up to Mei Liangyu to have a private conversation, telling him about the other World Destroyer in Qingyang who had just contacted her.
Mei Liangyu said, "Qingyang is truly a blessed land. You world destroyers are all scrambling to go there, but I don't know if it can withstand it."
Yu Sui remained silent for a long time after hearing this.
She took out a hibiscus bead from the mechanism box and personally put it into Mei Liangyu's ear. When he raised his eyebrows in a gesture of greeting, she took out the Wind Listening Ruler to send him a telepathic message.
Mei Liangyu heard the mountain spirit's voice greeting him: "Hello, I am the mountain spirit."
"What is that?" He looked at Yu Sui in surprise.
“The embodiment of the Counting Mountains.” Yu Sui smiled at him. “The Counting Mountains that can talk.”
Mei Liangyu: "I meant the one you put in my ear."
"The Fusang Pearl will ensure that even if you're communicating with me telepathically, no one else will hear or notice," Yu Sui explained honestly, then found it somewhat amusing. "You actually care more about the Fusang Pearl?"
“At least this one has a concrete concept, the other one doesn’t.” Mei Liangyu said irritably, “You’re always secretly scaring people, I’ve gotten used to it.”
"Is it that scary?" Yu Sui said dismissively, "It's quite cute."
Mei Liangyu didn't even lift his eyelids: "Last time you said cute was your sword spirit."
He didn't know what was cute about that dark, dull, and clumsy thing.
Cute in a silly way?
The two casually started talking about everyday things, and once they started, it seemed like they wouldn't stop. Their expressions and tones of voice were completely different from when they were with other people.
Gongsun Qi eavesdropped on their conversation from a distance using the Eight Trigrams Divination Technique.
He secretly watched as the two people who were either sneering or silent in front of him laughed naturally and freely at each other. The girl who had been sarcastic towards him would also flirt and tease the young man; the young man who was silent and profound when he was with him became relaxed and carefree when he was with the girl he liked.
Perhaps because he himself had experienced such a time, Gongsun Qi's heart suddenly trembled, and his opinion of Yu Sui changed again and again.
When it was time to leave, Yu Sui walked towards the open car door, not even glancing at Gongsun Qi, but instead waving to Mei Liangyu: "Senior brother, remember to think of me while you're away!"
Gongsun Qi: "..."
Mei Liangyu: "Okay, I'll think about it every day."
Yu Sui added, "You'll need to think about me for at least half an hour."
Mei Liangyu laughed and said, "No, I need to think about you for at least an hour."
"..." Gongsun Qi said calmly, "There's no need for me to say such disgusting things just to disgust you."
Yu Sui then smiled and looked at him: "Isn't it better to tell you openly and honestly? Otherwise, you'll have to use your gossip skills to eavesdrop."
Gongsun Qi looked at Mei Liangyu, who was acting in cooperation with Yu Sui. Mei Liangyu shrugged slightly, her eyes seeming to say "I'm sorry, Uncle", but her posture was "What can you do to me?"
After teasing Gongsun Qi, Yu Sui saw him turn away, unable to bear it any longer, before suppressing his smile and saying to Mei Liangyu, "I know you're going to have to do a lot of troublesome and painful things, but whatever you do, I can understand."
Mei Liangyu listened quietly.
"Senior brother, you must tell me when you need me," Yu Sui said. "As long as you ask, no matter what I'm doing, I will come for you."
Both of them knew that this separation might mean they wouldn't see each other again for a long time, and that after they parted ways, they would both have to solve problems that had troubled them for a long time.
Mei Liangyu's eyes reflected the girl standing in front of the car door, her back to the vast sea. Her gaze, directed at him against the howling sea wind, was full of power, and the promise she made moved him just as it had last time, making him greedily want to possess her.
But unlike the promise made at the foot of the snow-capped mountain last time, this time Mei Liangyu truly felt Yu Sui's love for him.
“I should be saying that to you,” Mei Liangyu said softly, standing still with his gaze fixed on the girl. “Sui Sui.”
Her senior rarely called her that. Yu Sui heard him say, "From now on, you..."
The sudden start of the cloud chariot caused a tremendous roar that drowned out Mei Liangyu's voice, and Yu Sui couldn't hear what he said. After the roar subsided, Yu Sui blinked blankly, while Mei Liangyu gently shook his head.
Situ Jin drove the cloud chariot towards the center of the sea eye. In order to prevent it from being sucked into the sea eye, the cloud chariot could not stop and had to keep moving.
Yu Sui led Xing Chun into the sea eye and teleported back to Taiyi Academy.
...
On his way back, Sheng Fei encountered his second brother, Su Feng, who was leading the royal guards.
Su Feng was the first to receive the news and the first to take action. He thought Yu Sui had also returned with Sheng Fei, but after squinting at the group in front of him, he couldn't see Yu Sui anywhere.
The two met on the official road just before entering the capital. Su Feng said to Sheng Fei, "Your sudden return is more like skipping school."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Fei's face darkened, and he swallowed the greeting he was about to say, instead staring coldly at Su Feng.
"Never mind, you don't look well either, let's go." Su Feng said with a smile, "I already sent someone to inform your aunt when I came."
Sheng Fei pursed his lips, lowered his head slightly, and rode his horse alongside Su Feng to continue forward.
Su Feng casually asked, "Since you've decided to come back, why didn't you invite Sui Sui along?"
"Don't mention her to me," Sheng Fei said impatiently.
Su Feng: "Why are you angry again? I told you a long time ago to leave her and Gu alone..."
“Gu Gan’s fate is currently unknown; the cloud chariot he was riding, the Flying Dragon, has crashed into the sea,” Sheng Fei suddenly said.
Su Feng was stunned, and after realizing what was happening, he hesitated to speak.
He was no longer the child who would compete with Gu Gan for affections. Now he understood to some extent that his father's attitude toward Gu Gan was also related to another force.
Without another word, the two rode swiftly back to the capital of Qingyang.
Madam Sheng rushed back to the Nangong Prince's Mansion from the Chamber of Commerce, her eyes and brows beaming with smiles. Her son had been staying in Taiyi all these years and hadn't returned. She didn't know how long he would stay sulking. She had originally planned to go to Taiyi herself at the end of this year to bring him back, but she didn't expect her son to have come to his senses ahead of time.
She only knew that Sheng Fei had returned, but she didn't know what had happened on the way back.
Madam Sheng was in high spirits and personally cooked a welcome dinner for her son.
On the other side, Sheng Fei had just stepped into the gate of the Prince's Mansion when he was summoned to the council hall.
Nangong Mingzheng was waiting here.
As dawn broke, it illuminated the path ahead. In late autumn, the maple forest around the council hall was comparable to the colorful clouds of the sunset. Morning dew clung to the tips of the leaves, and as someone stepped into the area, the gentle breeze stirred up by their passing caused it to fall onto the moss-covered pond bank.
Sheng Fei, travel-worn and covered in blood, walked through the corner of the corridor. Just as he was about to step into the gate, a familiar pressure from the Five Elements blocked his way.
The man and woman standing in the hall both looked at Sheng Fei, while the person at the head of the table, with his back to him, said in a calm voice, "Kneel down."
Jiang Chi and the others stopped at the corner of the corridor. If they took two or three more steps forward, they could go around the doors and windows and see the situation inside the hall, but they did not dare to go forward. They saw Sheng Fei, who was standing at the door about to go in, pause, and then kneel down expressionlessly.
Su Feng was somewhat surprised by Sheng Fei's obedience; he had thought that Sheng Fei would at least grumble and ask why he had to kneel.
Han Bing looked calm and showed no intention of pleading for his long-lost younger brother.
Chu Jin stood to Nangong Ming's left, squinting at Sheng Fei kneeling at the door. Sheng Fei suddenly looked up, his gaze coldly meeting hers, and he also scrutinized this wild child whom he considered to have suddenly joined the Nangong family.
She has a face that resembles Nangong Sui's, but her temperament is completely different.
The woman in white standing in the council hall was the type who would never tolerate someone pointing fingers at her and insulting her while forcing herself to listen quietly. Completely different from her sister's obedient and gentle nature, she exuded an arrogant and aloof aura, and even the gentle and peaceful demeanor she displayed when disguised as a doctor had completely disappeared.
Sheng Fei felt disgusted the moment he saw Chu Jin; it was an instinctive dislike, and also a transference of his anger towards Nangong Sui.
He slowly turned his gaze away and looked at his father, who had his back to him.
Nangong Ming said, "You came back without resolving your disputes in Taiyi. Do you want those things to become a lifelong shame for you?"
Sheng Fei replied, "I will handle my own affairs."
Nangong Ming's tone was indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger: "You've been in Taiyi for several years, and this is all the progress you've made?"
Sheng Fei lowered his head and said, "During this Hundred Families Night Parade, I was..."
Nangong Ming, however, showed no interest in listening to him and ignored Sheng Fei, calling out, "Jiang Chi."
Sheng Fei paused in his speech, and Chu Jin watched the scene with great interest.
Jiang Chi strode forward and bowed before the council hall door: "Your Highness."
Nangong Ming turned around, his expression cold: "Tell me what happened along the way."
Just as Jiang Chi was about to speak, Sheng Fei suddenly said, "The pagodas in that area of Taiyi Wujian Mountain Abyss were taken away by Gongsun Qi, a wanted criminal from Yan State."
The target of that Jinghong Sword could be easily identified with a simple investigation afterward, but Sheng Fei kept it to himself and didn't tell anyone.
Under everyone's surprised gaze, Sheng Fei looked up at Nangong Ming and said with a neither humble nor arrogant expression, "On the way back, Gu Gan went to another cloud carriage to chase Mei Liangyu and others in order to avenge Qian Ying. As a result, that cloud carriage fell into the sea and disintegrated, and he disappeared in the Endless Sea."
Nangong Ming's expression visibly darkened as he said that Gu Gan's whereabouts were unknown.
