Chapter 89 Tell Him to Get Out
The trial of the Three Thousand Paths had been burned by the strange fire, and Yu Sui walked out, which could be considered as passing it.
She stared intently at Mei Liangyu, but a hint of dazedness could be seen on her face, as if she was still immersed in the scene of the previous trial and had not yet fully recovered from her emotions.
Mei Liangyu wanted to say something more, but seeing her silent expression, she felt it was pointless. Why bother talking to her? She had no idea how terrifying the three thousand paths were.
She certainly never imagined that this would cause a clash between the strange fire and the ancient dragon's power, and even attract two saints to the scene.
There's really no need to nag Yu Sui about these obvious things anymore.
Mei Liangyu suppressed her emotions and said coldly, "Change the name next time."
Yu Sui nodded, her gaze passing over him to the sea behind her. She squatted down on the spot, her hands bent and placed on her knees. Her blue skirt, as beautiful as the color of the sea, trailed on the ground, gently brushing against the soft sand.
"Senior brother, I want to be alone for a while," she said, gazing blankly at the sea.
Mei Liangyu said with a blank face, "This place is only so big, where can I go? Just pretend I don't exist."
He was about to take a detour to Yu Sui's back, so that all she could see was the sea, and no living people.
Yu Sui said softly, "Why don't you just leave the dragon's head?"
Mei Liangyu paused, her back to the Starry Sea, looking down at the person who was crouching down and huddled in a ball. She spoke casually, her gaze sweeping over him.
Yu Sui looked at Mei Liangyu. She knew what she had just said, and even that it had carried a hint of malice.
Senior brother knew she possessed a different kind of fire. Even though he hadn't told Yu Sheng of the Legalist school and Zhu Lao of the School of Names just now, he would tell Master after they left. He was simply choosing who he wanted to tell.
Seeing how tense he looked when he was hiding his strange fire from the two saints, Yu Sui couldn't help but laugh.
She couldn't bring herself to burn a stranger to death without any remorse before, so she tolerated it.
But why am I the only one suffering so much because of the existence of the strange fire?
You'll experience the embarrassment and fear of concealing your strange fire.
The strange fire can burn away any low-level technique, and even divine techniques cannot withstand it. In the blink of an eye, it can turn you into a charred corpse and withered bones, completely controlling your life and death, and you don't know when it will erupt.
And I am right in front of you, we are so close.
The strange fire you know is right in front of you.
You should experience that fear for yourself.
Why me?
Looking at Mei Liangyu, Yu Sui saw a faint starry sky in her eyes, and a deep blue light filled her eyes, a color that should have been melancholic and gentle.
She couldn't beat Mei Liangyu.
Even he couldn't defeat the Saint Changgen.
They were no match for the many sages of Taiyi.
Against these people, the disparity in strength was too great, and she had no chance of winning.
When Mei Liangyu learned that she possessed a strange fire, Yu Sui even felt somewhat relieved.
Go ahead and tell them.
When my master found out, it was also the time I burned down Taiyi.
Yu Sui thought of the only thing she was confident about before she died: that she could unleash a strange fire to burn down the entire Taiyi. She couldn't help but feel sorry for herself and amused. With a slight smile, she turned her eyes back to the sea and said in a tone that still carried a hint of malice, "Why isn't Senior Brother leaving yet?"
Why do you have to stay here and get in the way?
The anger and resentment that Yu Sui had been stirred up by amidst the three thousand divergent paths could not be quelled, and at this moment he vented it on Mei Liangyu.
“Nangong Sui,” Mei Liangyu said coldly, looking at her. “You have a temper, don’t you?”
He walked towards Yu Sui: "Are you taking your anger out on me?"
She had just been thinking of taking a detour to Mei Liangyu at the back, but now she walked straight in front of Yu Sui, completely blocking her view and preventing her from looking at the vast sea behind her.
Yu Sui's vision was invaded by Mei Liangyu, and he had to look up to see his appearance clearly.
His black robe fluttered slightly in the sea breeze, and a strand of long, dark hair was blown up, brushing against his slightly upturned phoenix eyes. Although he had suppressed his coldness, the slightly upturned corners of his eyes still added a touch of oppressiveness.
Yu Sui saw herself in his eyes: sharp, cold, and unreasonable.
"I didn't," she said softly, looking away.
"You didn't get angry with me," Mei Liangyu asked, "or is it that you don't have a temper?"
Yu Sui looked down at the sand: "There's nothing there."
Mei Liangyu laughed when he heard this. He squatted down, still a head taller than Yu Sui, and stretched out his long arm to put his arm around the back of Yu Sui's neck, pulling her forward until her forehead was almost touching his, but still a few inches away.
He spoke softly, but every word he uttered carried an air of authority: "Junior sister, don't back down so quickly. Try asking me to leave again."
Mei Liangyu wasn't stupid and couldn't understand anything. On the contrary, he was extremely perceptive, especially when it came to the malice directed at him. He could tell that Yu Sui wasn't telling him to leave, but rather to get lost.
The distance between them suddenly closed, making things even more dangerous. (Rakukaku)
Yu Sui believed that Mei Liangyu had nowhere to escape at such a distance. When the strange fire spontaneously combusted and burned her, her senior brother would die before her. How could he dare to come closer?
"Aren't you afraid at all?" Yu Sui asked with a hint of helplessness.
"Yes," Mei Liangyu said in a low voice with a hint of cold laughter, "I'm afraid you'll get angry with me, how impressive."
Yu Sui looked at him quietly for a moment, and suddenly felt indifferent.
There are so many strange and wonderful things in the world, each one more powerful than her. It's only a matter of time before her strange fire is exposed; she can't hide it forever.
Even the secrets deeper than the strange fire, the secrets of her coming from beyond the heavens, can be discovered by the Three Thousand Paths. So what else can she hide in this world?
Just thinking that someone would kill her because of the strange fire, and that those people wouldn't survive either, calmed Yu Sui down.
Yu Sui blinked, briefly closing and opening her eyes, her pupils still reflecting Mei Liangyu, who was so close to her.
After we leave the Dragon Slayer Cave, if my senior brother tells our master about her having a strange fire...
Let's die together then.
"Senior brother." Yu Sui gently bumped her head against Mei Liangyu's forehead, her gaze softening as before. The warmth of the touch made Mei Liangyu pause for a moment.
Yu Sui said, "I'm not your junior sister who obtained the Heavenly Secrets Technique in the first realm, so I'm not impressive enough."
A person's mood can change in the blink of an eye.
She still didn't want to die.
But I'm not so scared anymore.
Mei Liangyu could sense that the sharp aura emanating from Yu Sui had dissipated, and his malice and ferocity had been concealed.
He assumed that Yu Sui had come to his senses from the three thousand divergent paths and did not intend to delve into anything else.
"Go to Yechi to choose your Heavenly Secret Technique." Mei Liangyu withdrew his hand, turned to the side, and let Yu Sui see the sea ahead.
Yu Sui stood up, supporting herself on her knees with both hands, and walked into the sea without saying a word.
Mei Liangyu watched Yu Sui disappear into the sea, waiting patiently. He was pondering whether to wait for his junior sister to obtain the Heavenly Secret Technique before leaving the Dragon Slaying Cave, or to turn back and check on Zhongli Mountain.
The waves suddenly became turbulent, crashing wildly, and several shooting stars streaked across the night sky, falling towards the Taoist training ground.
Mei Liangyu's eyes twitched slightly as she watched the falling meteor. What was happening to the Taoists now?
Yu Sui walked into the sea and saw the sky brightly shining ahead, turning from night into day. The water and sky merged into one color, and she stood on the sea, not knowing where the sky was for a moment.
The nine streams of the Ghost Daoist arts that had been stripped away by the Three Thousand Paths have now all been returned to her.
Countless runes of the Ghost Daoist school flashed before Yu Sui's eyes. The golden runes belonging to these Heavenly Secrets Techniques shone brightly in front of him, like golden stars, illuminating the entire sky in a majestic and mysterious gold.
Mei Liangyu had told her before that there was only one chance to use the Yechi Selection of Heavenly Secrets Technique, and she had to think it through before taking action.
But what can you tell just by looking at the runes?
You can't even tell the name.
Yu Sui temporarily put everything else aside and focused on the Ghost Daoist runes in front of her. The golden runes were arranged in long lines that circled around her in front of her, flowing slowly, one circle after another, wrapping around this world and encircling her.
Nine-rank techniques are a general term for techniques, while Heavenly Secrets Techniques are the ultimate form of Nine-rank techniques. One can learn Heavenly Secrets Techniques by constantly honing and upgrading one's Nine-rank techniques.
The inheritance mark bestowed by the dragon head "Yechi" is equivalent to directly upgrading your level 1 Nine Stream Technique to the maximum level Heavenly Secret Technique.
But that's too much.
Yu Sui pondered, "Does the Ghost Daoist family have so many Heavenly Secrets Techniques? It looks like there are thousands upon thousands of runes. Choosing from so many will be quite a challenge for her."
Yechi seemed to have no time limit. Yu Sui considered it for a long time and finally decided to choose based on his senses.
She closed her eyes, patiently sensing the five elements around her, and gently conveying her own meaning in order to find the most suitable rune for herself.
Golden runes flew past her, disappearing one after another. The golden stars between the sea and sky gradually diminished, and after an unknown amount of time, only seven or eight golden runes remained in front of her.
Yu Sui slowly opened his eyes, looked at the seven or eight runes, and suddenly had a whimsical idea. He used his Heavenly Eye to look at them.
Her eyes shone with a magnificent light. Before, she could only see the golden brilliance on the runes, but now she could see the strength of the five elements within them. Yu Sui saw the sky in the distance gradually darkening and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that there was a time limit?
Without further hesitation, Yu Sui chose the rune with the strongest elemental energy.
When she reached out to touch it, the golden runes transformed into golden threads that flowed along her fingertips into the depths of her consciousness, firmly imprinting themselves on the deepest part of her soul, for her use.
The Ghost Daoist's Heavenly Secrets Techniques for Capturing Spirits.
Before Yu Sui could even feel the sudden surge of power, he was expelled from Yechi and returned to the sandy ground at night, where he saw Mei Liangyu looking up at the sky.
The sea breeze was as gentle as the night.
The wind gently swayed the man's clothes and hair. He tilted his head slightly, his angular face settling into a serene expression. From Yu Sui's angle, one could see that his dark eyes were tinged with a deep blue starlight, devoid of sorrow, only exuding boundless tenderness.
Yu Sui stopped himself from calling out "Senior Brother," somewhat unable to believe who the person in front of him was.
Mei Liangyu noticed Yu Sui coming out, so she stopped looking at the sky, her dark pupils shifting slightly to the corners of her eyes, and the starlight in her eyes dissipated.
"Have you made your choice?" he asked proactively.
Yu Sui nodded, looking at the person in front of her with a furrowed brow and a cold expression, thinking that the gentleness just now must have been an illusion.
"Alright then." Mei Liangyu nodded. "Do you want to leave the Dragon Slayer Cave now, or what?"
Yu Sui said softly, "I want to go back and take another look. I've been too busy on the way here and feel like I've missed a lot. My master also said that the Dragon Slaying Cave is not Yechi and is worth exploring."
Mei Liangyu thought to herself, "You are really bold. You want to explore the existence beyond Yechi. Aren't you afraid of encountering another Three Thousand Crossroads?"
For a moment, Yu Sui doubted whether Mei Liangyu knew she possessed a strange fire. Although her previous behavior was also unusual, it was strange that this unusual behavior was predicated on knowing the secret of the strange fire.
She didn't believe that Mei Liangyu felt no fear whatsoever towards the strange fire.
Although my senior brother is intelligent, shrewd, and powerful, he probably couldn't completely hide his fear of the strange fire when facing her.
This strange feeling started with the divination using the sacred tree seed, so Yu Sui said again, "Senior brother, I want to go back and try the divination using the sacred tree seed."
Mei Liangyu said "Oh," and then told him to go ahead.
Anyway, you won't see the sacred tree seed.
Yu Sui said, "But I'm a little scared. Can you come with me, Senior Brother?"
