Chapter 353: Nangong Sui must be incredibly moved.
Mei Liangyu volunteered, and Yu Sui went along with it. Wu Huaiwei's gaze shifted between the two of them several times, but she couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Do you really think Gu Gan is so easy to kill? You're even picking him out here."
She looked at Yu Sui and said, "If you can't snatch the yang energy back from Gu Gan within a month, then I'll have to take action."
Mei Liangyu turned to Yu Sui and asked, "Does Dean Wu intend to kill you both together?"
Yu Sui shook her head and answered softly, "It means putting the Yin and Yang energies back into the Underworld Lake, so that no one can obtain them."
Wu Huaiwei: "..."
She must be insane to kill Nangong Sui along with him!
Yu Sui finally agreed. A month was a long time for her, and she could do a lot of things. It was better than being caught by Wu Huaiwei and locked up in Yueshan.
Wu Huaiwei instructed her to maintain constant contact with the Listening Whistle.
Gu Gan is currently in the Abyss of No Return, fighting with others for the fragments of the Floating Pagoda.
Yu Sui asked Mei Liangyu where he was going next, and Mei Liangyu said he was going to the Wujian Mountain Abyss.
"Are you really going to kill Brother Gu?" Yu Sui looked at him with one eye open and one eye closed.
“My target is also the Abyss of No Return.” Mei Liangyu looked at the rising sun. “Besides… if Gu Gan gets his hands on the fragments of the Floating Pagoda in the Abyss of No Return, it will be worse than killing me.”
As he finished speaking, he slightly raised his eyebrows and looked back at Yu Sui.
His arrogant and unrestrained demeanor reminded Yu Sui of the first time she met him.
The young man followed behind the two incredibly dignified saints, yet he showed no sign of stage fright. He glanced at the people in the arena with a nonchalant air, yet appeared arrogant and overbearing.
Yu Sui stared blankly at Mei Liangyu.
She thought she must really like this person, which was why she thought of the past so unexpectedly.
Seeing that Yu Sui remained silent, Mei Liangyu's gaze slowly calmed: "You don't want Gu Gan to die?"
He thought Yu Sui had been thinking about Gu Gan's problem.
Yu Sui shook his head: "Dean Wu is right. Gu Gan is not so easy to kill. He has Elder Zhu protecting him and he also has his own backup plan. He did indeed draw out the Yin and Yang energies, which proves that he also has a very special power within him."
After pausing, he added, "I was thinking about you just now, about the first time I met you."
Mei Liangyu pursed her lips, unable to suppress the smile at the corner of her mouth.
“I should have told you that Gu Gan is the child my father brought back. His family suffered a disaster and he was raised by the Nangong family. I have never been able to find out anything about his parents’ family background.” Yu Sui pondered, “I tried to find out when I was a child, but he wouldn’t say. Maybe Qian Ying knows, after all, they are the real childhood sweethearts.”
Mei Liangyu: "Let's go and inquire about the situation in Wujian Mountain Abyss first."
“There are several mountains separating the Wujian Abyss, so the Wind Listening Ruler can’t be used,” Yu Sui said. “But we can check the death toll in the Wujian Abyss from the Communications Institute.”
After saying that, he took out the Wind Listening Ruler to check, and found that the death toll in the Abyss of No Return had reached twelve.
The college will only release the death toll, not specific identity information.
During this period, people have been heading to the Abyss of No Return almost every day. Most of them are going for the fragments of the Floating Pagoda, while some are going for the Ghost Daoist's contract to summon gods.
While Yu Sui was waiting for Mei Liangyu to emerge from the butterfly dream, Sheng Fei had already stormed into the Wujian Mountain Abyss to find Su Xingchao, and the outside world was abuzz with discussion about his bet with Su Xingchao.
Mu Mengbai publicly exposed Su Xingchao's despicable methods and cursed Su Xingchao and Shen Liu on the academy's notice board for three days and three nights.
Some people believe this claim, while others do not. Sheng Fei even publicly vowed to personally go to the Wujian Mountain Abyss to capture Su Xingchao and Shen Liu and the others, and kill them.
Sheng Fei has been in the Abyss of No Return for a month, and not a single word has come out.
The fact that the mountains within the Wujian Abyss are so isolated that communication is impossible is indeed troublesome, and the speed of information transmission is slow. Yu Sui was still thinking about it when Mei Liangyu said, "There is a way. Just ask the people of the Nine Capitals Guard."
Yu Sui hummed in agreement, her voice tinged with doubt at the end: "There shouldn't be any trials set up in the Boundless Abyss, so why are the Nine Capital Guards..."
She remembered it halfway through her sentence.
“The Nine Capital Guards will accompany the instructors to collect corpses, so they can know a lot about the situation in the forbidden areas.” Mei Liangyu said, taking out the Wind Listening Ruler. “In addition, there are many intelligence brokers during the night. They do nothing but sneak into many forbidden areas to obtain information and then sell it at a high price.”
These intelligence brokers didn't use the wind-listening ruler to transmit messages; instead, they used the communication beasts of farmers.
The Nine Capital Guards knew the exact number of deaths and their identities, while the intelligence brokers knew the distribution and specific circumstances of the people in the Abyss of No Return.
“This person is called Ren Gui, and he’s the biggest information broker in the academy.” Mei Liangyu opened the Wind Listening Ruler message box without hiding it from Yu Sui. “His interest is in studying the Wind Listening Ruler. He has many tricks up his sleeve, but he’s still a bit inferior to you.”
When Mei Liangyu was seventeen, he was also very engrossed in studying the number of mountains, but once he solved his questions and got the answers, his interest waned.
Ren and Gui met around that time, and the two of them worked together, taking turns infiltrating the Communications Institute to crack the three major data mountains in the institute.
Yu Sui couldn't help but think that his senior brother's days in Taiyi must have been wonderful. He had made many friends in Taiyi, and his experiences there were too many and too profound for him to forget or let go of for the rest of his life.
As dawn broke, Mei Liangyu led Yu Sui away from the Famous Family Valley.
After discussing it, the two went to the dining hall first. Although the sorcerers of the lowly class could regulate their qi to maintain their strength, as long as a person is alive, they will feel hungry.
Mei Liangyu and Yu Sui attracted a lot of attention as soon as they appeared in the dining hall. Many people had been looking for them for some time, but the two seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
Everyone else suspected that the two senior and junior disciples had hidden in the Ghost Path Sanctuary.
Now the two appeared together, walking side by side up to the dining hall, but the atmosphere made onlookers feel a little awkward.
"Are they just fellow students?" someone asked quietly.
"Shh, let's gossip after we've gone some distance."
Yu Sui had no time to care what others were thinking. Mei Liangyu had asked for a private room, and a screen had been set up to separate the space, leaving only the two of them at the table. Yu Sui then lay down on the table for a short nap.
Mei Liangyu woke her up after all the dishes were served.
Mei Liangyu placed the Wind Listening Ruler on the table, and Zhang Pinghui's voice came through: "You're not dead? Oh my, I really thought you died during the Hundred Families Night Parade after so long without any news from you. I even asked all the brothers if they had found your body."
Yu Sui glanced at it, said nothing, and obediently buried her head in her food.
"Did you see the message I sent you before? Nangong Sui almost died. Sigh, you didn't reply to me, so I'm not sure whether to save her or not."
"But something big must have happened in the Lake of the Dead, but I can't remember it at all. It's probably because the deans put a memory ban on me."
Zhang Pinghui was still complaining about what happened at the Styx Lake. His memory ended when the instructor tried to kill Nangong Sui and the deans appeared at the Styx Lake to save the day.
"I guess it's the yin and yang energies from the Lake of the Dead that have come out, otherwise the weather wouldn't have been so chaotic lately, with torrential rain and strong winds one minute, and snow still falling in the Abyss of No Return!"
Mei Liangyu and Yu Sui were both eating and drinking, while Zhang Pinghui was the only one talking non-stop:
"The Abyss of No Return must have been affected by the Lake of the Underworld. The celestial phenomena are in chaos, with thunderstorms everywhere. You get struck by lightning wherever you go. Many people went to the abyss to look for fragments, but they didn't find a single hair. They couldn't even find the entrance to form a pact to summon the gods. By the way, are you still going to try to summon the gods this year?"
"Qin Yidong carried a charm with her, and this charm was a cunning person. If anyone fought with her, Su Jichun would rush out and stage an accident. That's how they eliminated six people!"
"But Su Jichun is in a terrible state. I saw that she has several broken ribs and is lame. Most importantly, her face is ruined. She used to be so beautiful. I liked her a lot."
Zhang Pinghui sighed repeatedly when he talked about Su Jichun.
Upon hearing this, Yu Sui rolled her eyes and looked at Mei Liangyu.
If she remembered correctly, Su Jichun was from the State of Yan, and was a poor soul who had almost been persecuted by the King of Yan and had fled to Taiyi.
If Yu Sui were to guess, his senior brother must have a significant status in the Yan Kingdom. He wondered if Su Jichun, who was also from the Yan Kingdom, knew him, or if his senior brother knew Su Jichun.
Previously, she had asked Elder Yan for information about the Yan Kingdom, but Elder Yan did not tell her everything, nor did he tell her what Mei Liangyu had found out.
Now that Mei Liangyu has regained her memory, she could have told Yu Sui everything, but unfortunately, they were in Taiyi, and there were some names that she simply couldn't say.
"The most advanced group of people from the Infernal Abyss haven't found the fragments yet?" Mei Liangyu finally answered him.
Zhang Pinghui grinned slyly: "Xia Feichen and Fang Tianchen are two unfortunate brothers. They went in first, so everyone who went in later assumed they knew something. Su Xingchao, on the other hand, snatched the information from Sheng Fei, so he was a bit insecure and kept chasing after them with his men."
"They were hiding in there in a very awkward situation."
Mei Liangyu finally laughed.
He only had two words for Xia Feichen: "He deserves it."
“Our Chairman Pu is here too! And your rival Gu Gan is here as well. Speaking of which, it seems that Gu Gan has made a breakthrough, but when I asked him, he wouldn’t say.”
Zhang Pinghui snorted twice, cursing Gu Gan for being stingy, saying that even though he didn't participate in the robbery, Gu Gan refused to share information.
He was unaware that Yu Sui was sitting right across from Mei Liangyu, and continued, "I almost forgot about the important matter! Gu Gan risked his life to save Nangong Sui in the Lake of the Dead, taking a fatal blow for him. This scene must have moved Nangong Sui to tears!"
“You’re in a bad situation right now, but we’ve already thought of a solution for you.”
Zhang Pinghui said confidently, "If Gu Gan can risk his life to save someone, so can we! When the time comes, bring Nangong Sui to the Wujian Mountain Abyss, have Lao Si pretend to kill Nangong Sui to seize the Breath Soil, and then you also risk your life to take a knife for Nangong Sui. She will definitely be moved to tears!"
Someone else chimed in, "That's right, if Gu Gan can block once, we can block twice! If that doesn't work, we can block three times! Brother, we have a lot of people here, we can take turns coming up to cover for you."
"We'll win by sheer numbers; Nangong Sui must be incredibly moved!"
"Brother, you should take some medicine beforehand. We need to go all out with this act; if we save you three times, we'll have to get stabbed three times!"
The members of the Nine Capital Guards nearby started discussing how to act realistically without actually stabbing Mei Liangyu to death.
“Zhang Pinghui, if you want to kill me, just say so,” Mei Liangyu said coldly.
Zhang Pinghui earnestly persuaded him to believe in himself, saying that he was already Nangong Sui's dog and was already inferior to others. If he didn't do something, what if Nangong Sui really fell in love with Gu Gan, who risked his life to save him?
After hearing this, Mei Liangyu felt that Zhang Xiangyun had died too easily. He should have gone to the Fog Sea, dragged Zhang Xiangyun's body out, and hacked it a few more times.
Yu Sui sat opposite Mei Liangyu, suppressing her laughter. She didn't dare to look up at Mei Liangyu and almost buried herself under the table.
Mei Liangyu watched as the girl struggled to suppress her laughter, her shoulders trembling. After a long silence, she hung up the telepathic message. Without Zhang Pinghui and the others chattering beside her, Yu Sui's muffled laughter became more noticeable.
"Is it funny?" Mei Liangyu stretched out his leg and nudged her with his knee.
Seeing that he had hung up the telepathic message, Yu Sui finally couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Senior Brother."
Mei Liangyu: "After you finish eating, we'll go to the Abyss of No Return."
Yu Sui suppressed a laugh and deliberately said, "Senior brother, I'm a very good actor. I can definitely pretend I don't know anything. You guys just act it out. Three times is enough for me to fall in love with you."
Mei Liangyu: "..."
He couldn't help but grit his teeth, feeling both angry and amused.
