Chapter 216 Kill Two First
On the desk were pages of papers that Wei Ren hadn't had time to organize. Besides the Nine Schools of Farming Techniques, they contained records and speculations about the Breath of Earth.
Gu Gan looked at it expressionlessly, glancing over it with a single glance.
The spirit of the word is attached to a piece of clothing; it is the spirit of the word searching for the fragments of the Floating Pagoda.
Gu Gan picked up the garment and examined it, frowning. Although the fragment wasn't on the garment, it was highly likely that Wei Ren had recently been wearing it and coming into contact with the fragment of the Floating Pagoda.
The person who obtained the fragment must be in the academy.
Gu Gan put down the clothes with a gloomy expression and continued searching the house.
Unfortunately, nothing useful was found afterward.
The clues in Wei Ren's room were even fewer than Gu Gan had expected. Although he was unwilling to give up, he could not stay any longer. Just as he was about to leave, he stopped in his tracks.
As Gu Gan reached the door, he suddenly turned around, his sharp gaze sweeping over the scene inside the room.
He had just smelled a fragrance, a delicate floral scent, like silken satin brushing past his nose, and most importantly, the scent seemed familiar.
As Gu Gan savored the fragrance of the flowers, he recalled a medicinal herb plant carefully tended to in a flowerpot placed in front of the window of his dormitory room.
The numerous petals, overlapping each other, create a velvety blue that appears incredibly alluring when stained with dew.
That was a medicinal flower cultivated by Ji Meng, called Five-Fragrance Ling.
There is only one of its kind in the entire Xuangu Continent.
But why is the aroma of Five Spices Ling here?
Gu Gan stood in front of the door in silence.
He revisited the spirit of the character, searching for the source of the five-spice aroma.
The spirit of the word quickly provided the answer; it flew towards the clothes hanging on the hanger, which was different from the garment that had been stained with fragments of the Floating Pagoda.
Gu Gan went back, picked up the garment, and smelled it. It did indeed have the fragrance of five-spice lingzhi flowers, so he hadn't mistaken it for something else.
In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Gu Gan's mind:
The unlocking of the master's secret lock is something that the mysterious person hiding behind the Listening Wind Ruler could not do, but those close to him could.
The lingering floral scent on Wei Ren's clothes indicated that he had been in prolonged contact with this person recently.
The aroma of Five-Spice Ling is delicate; you have to get close to smell it.
It's almost impossible for anyone other than someone living with him to have the fragrance linger on their body for a long time.
Ji Meng's Five-Fragrance Ling was placed in front of the window of the main room. He and Huo Xiao passed by there every day, and occasionally stopped in front of the window. They might even pick up the scent of Five-Fragrance Ling on their bodies.
The faint floral scent wafting before his nose fueled Gu Gan's suspicions to their peak.
Hearing the laughter of other disciples walking by outside the corridor, Gu Gan composed himself, put down the clothes in his hand, and turned to leave.
The door opened and closed, and shadows flickered in the corridor, but no one was in sight.
Nian Qiuyan leaned against the door, playing with the divine wooden divination stick in his hand. Only after confirming that Gu Gan had left did he pick up the Listening Wind Ruler to send a message back to Yu Sui.
Before Gu Gan took action, Nian Qiuyan returned to the house based on Yu Sui's message and found a small incense bottle on the table.
The five-spice Linghua fragrance on Wei Ren's clothes was sprinkled on by Qiu Yan on Yu Sui's orders that year.
When he left, Nian Qiuyan also used the divination technique that he was very good at.
Yu Sui told Nian Qiuyan through the Listening Wind Ruler that the bottle contained a unique medicinal flower cultivated by Ji Meng, a disciple of the medical family, and that the flower was kept in Gu Gan's dormitory.
The fragrance of the flower is unique and familiar to Gu Gan, so he will definitely be able to detect it. At that time, doubts will arise in his mind, and he will be busy just suspecting the people around him.
The more clues there are, the thicker the fog becomes.
If Gu Gan can completely trust the people around him, then Nangong Sui's trick will be useless. But as long as Gu Gan has a seed of suspicion in his heart, Nian Qiuyan will stop thinking and ask Yu Sui if they can meet and talk.
He felt he had to have a serious talk with Nangong Sui. Judging from what happened last night, Nangong Sui seemed to regard him as an enemy to be eliminated as well.
This gave Nian Qiuyan a bad feeling.
Yu Sui has not yet woken up.
She slept soundly because breaking through the Reverse Star Circulation Boundary had taken too much of a toll, and her body needed a long time to recover.
The room was filled with calming incense; the fragrance wasn't strong, but it was refreshing and cleansing, instantly dispelling any turbidity from the body.
A red ribbon floated beside the bed, and occasionally one end would fall onto the forehead of the sleeping girl on the bed, gently touching her for a moment, as if to soothe her.
A layer of sweat covered the girl's smooth forehead, and the red silk floating by the bed emitted a cold aura with wisps of white smoke, making the whole room feel like the dead of winter.
Until the sweat on the girl's face disappeared.
When Yu Sui opened her eyes, it was already noon the next day. The latticed window was half-open, allowing her to glimpse the distant verdant mountains and the dappled sunlight. Wu Huaiwei sat sideways at the table, lazily replying to the telepathic message: "You came all the way to my Yueshan looking for wine?"
"Your barrier is fine for keeping Elder Chang out, but why are you keeping me out too?" Zou Qian's voice sounded helpless. "I arrived just in time last time, otherwise you would have really died at his hands."
"How could he kill me in Taiyi?" Wu Huaiwei sneered, her tone chilling. "I'd like to see if you'll die if you don't get to drink today."
Zou Qian: "Then I'll definitely die."
Before hanging up the telepathic message, Wu Huaiwei replied elegantly, "Then go die."
Standing at the foot of Yue Mountain, Zou Qian stared silently at the disconnected voice transmission, while her other hand unconsciously scratched her neck, leaving several bloody marks on her bronze skin.
This woman has absolutely no sense of camaraderie and can turn on you anytime, anywhere.
Zou Qian scratched her neck, glancing out of the corner of her eye at the young man walking in from behind.
When Pu Heng, a disciple of the Yin-Yang School, saw Zou Qian, he looked surprised and bowed his head, saying, "Dean Zou, you're here..."
“Perfect timing.” Zou Qian interrupted him, pointing to the barrier around Yue Shan and saying, “Open the door.”
Wu Huaiwei threw the Listening Wind Ruler on the table and turned to look at Yu Sui, who had already sat up.
"Is there anything that's bothering you?" Wu Huaiwei squinted at Yu Sui.
Yu Sui obediently reached out and touched her forehead and cheeks, then rubbed her face, looked at her five fingers, and finally said seriously, "Nothing feels uncomfortable."
Wu Huaiwei was amused by her actions and stood up, saying, "You managed to break through the Circulation Boundary by relying on the Star Sea last night, not bad."
Instead of asking her how she did it, they praised her first.
Yu Sui blinked as she listened, her clear black and white eyes following Wu Huaiwei's movements.
"How long has it been since your Star Sea returned to its original position?" Wu Huaiwei asked directly as she approached the bedside.
"Only a few days," Yu Sui answered honestly.
Wu Huaiwei nodded gently and said slowly, "The Nine Provinces Star Sea contains the sun, moon, and stars of the universe. With such talent, I am increasingly looking forward to seeing what you will be like after learning the Reverse Star Technique with the Nine Provinces Star Sea."
She was really looking forward to it.
Wu Huaiwei is proud of the Reverse Star Technique she created and wants to find the most suitable person to inherit it.
As a disciple of the Yin-Yang School, she also longed for the Nine Provinces Star Sea, but unfortunately, she was still a little short of it.
Wu Huaiwei thought she would never see what the Reverse Star Technique would look like under the Nine Provinces Star Sea, or what level it could develop to, but fate unexpectedly brought Nangong Sui to her.
This is truly a stroke of good luck.
Wu Huaiwei smiled, her eyes crinkling, and she became more and more satisfied with Yu Sui.
This child has many secrets, but Wu Huaiwei doesn't care much. All she needs is for Yu Sui to learn the Reverse Star Technique.
“I…” Yu Sui lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before saying softly, “Actually, I often listened to lectures by the Yin-Yang School when I was a child.”
Wu Huaiwei stood by the bed, watching her with a leisurely air, gesturing for her to continue.
Yu Sui said, "But at that time I was a layman. Although I longed for the arts of the nine schools, I could not learn them openly because they would say that laymen should not learn these things. If it were passed on to my parents, they might punish me."
Wu Huaiwei asked, "Why should we be punished?"
"Because it's shameful!" Yu Sui looked up at Wu Huaiwei with a puzzled expression and asked, "As a princess of the Nangong Prince's Mansion, being a mediocre person is already useless. On top of that, she was discovered secretly learning a low-level technique that she couldn't possibly learn. Others will definitely use this to mock or pity the Nangong family. Doesn't that make the Nangong family lose face?"
Wu Huaiwei's gaze narrowed slightly. In her youth, she had traveled to the capitals of various countries and was familiar with the complicated rules of those aristocratic families and royal families. She had also met many people like Nangong Sui.
From Yu Sui's few words, Wu Huaiwei could already see her childhood situation.
An ambitious man like Nangong Ming, with a family of highly talented sorcerers, had a daughter who was only skilled in sorcery. It must have taken him quite a while to accept this fact.
Nangong Ming wouldn't be so vulgar as to despise or hate his daughter for being a Ping Shu person. But being a Ping Shu person, yet Nangong Ming's child, and growing up in the prestigious Nangong family, is itself a form of torment.
“You are no longer a commoner,” Wu Huaiwei said in a softer voice as she looked into the girl’s bright eyes, “but an enviable Yin-Yang School sorcerer who possesses the power to control the starry sea of the Nine Provinces.”
“I would secretly read books related to the Yin-Yang School, so I wasn’t completely ignorant before coming to Taiyi. After coming to Taiyi, I also came to the Yin-Yang School every day to attend external training classes…”
When Yu Sui looked up at people, she appeared even more delicate, and those eyes, dark and bright, were impossible to look away from, forcing them to meet her gaze. She said, "So it's not that I accomplished the repositioning of the three thousand stars without knowing anything; it's because I've observed the stars for over ten years that I'm where I am today. Perhaps my talent isn't as great as you think. Do you regret it now...?"
“Nangong Sui,” Wu Huaiwei stretched out a finger and poked Yu Sui’s forehead, knocking her back onto the bed. Her dark hair cascaded down her back, her eyes widened slightly, and she covered her forehead with one hand, groaning.
"If you can't learn what I'm teaching you, I'll personally turn you back into a mediocre person." Wu Huaiwei looked down at Yu Sui, who had fallen back. "Rest for another half day, then continue practicing tonight. You're already at the sixth realm, and with some effort you'll reach the seventh. How can a mere sixth realm be worthy of the three thousand stars that have already returned to their places?"
"I've said it before, you're not allowed to leave Yueshan until you've learned it."
"Okay," Yu Sui replied softly, drawing out her voice as she covered her forehead.
She said those things to reduce Wu Huaiwei's doubts about her own talent, but now it seems to have worked surprisingly well.
Yu Sui learned from Wu Huaiwei and Mei Liangyu that those who like you will like you more and more, thus ignoring many things, while those who dislike you will dislike you more and more, even for the smallest things.
The sound of wind chimes came from outside, indicating that someone was approaching. Wu Huaiwei turned her head to look outside and heard Pu Heng's voice: "Dean, it's me. I've brought everything you asked for yesterday."
"Come in." Wu Huaiwei said, turning around. The pale red bed curtains slowly fell, obscuring the view inside. The door opened, and Pu Heng, who had been waiting outside, walked in.
Wu Huaiwei stood inside the semi-circular wooden screen partition, while Pu Heng remained outside. He bowed and handed over the scroll he was carrying. Hong Ling quickly rolled it up and took it from his hands.
Pu Heng stood up with a helpless expression: "When I came here, I met Dean Zou in front of the mountain gate. He asked me to open the barrier and bring him in with me."
Wu Huaiwei: "..."
"You brought him in?" Wu Huaiwei asked in an unfriendly tone.
Pu Heng lowered his head helplessly: "Yes."
Zou Qian did not come with him to find Wu Huaiwei. After entering Yue Mountain, he used his wind-riding technique to travel thousands of miles, leaving Pu Heng far behind.
Upon hearing this, Wu Huaiwei used her Wind Control Technique to leave the pavilion and go find Zou Qian.
Hongling did not follow; instead, she floated in the air with the scroll rolled up. Because her position was close to the bed, Pu Heng also looked over and could vaguely see the outline of a blurry figure behind her through the slightly shimmering red gauze curtains.
Yu Sui sat up again, now observing Pu Heng, a disciple of the Yin-Yang School, who was standing in front of the partition screen.
For some reason, she always had the feeling that this person often came to Yueshan.
Pu Heng didn't look for long before politely stepping back a few steps, keeping his distance and withdrawing his gaze, quietly waiting for Wu Huaiwei to return.
Yu Sui also withdrew his gaze and looked down at the Wind Listening Ruler in his hand.
Medical clinic.
The number of injured or sick disciples varies, but whenever a school holds a trial event, there will always be injured people coming to the clinic.
After Yan Xiaochuan followed Mei Liangyu to the clinic, he helped Shi Yuezhen all night, preparing medicine, delivering medicine, getting instruments, observing the reaction after taking the medicine, and so on. He was busy until dawn without resting.
Shi Yuezhen stood behind the counter looking at the prescription. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Yan Xiaochuan rush down and sweep up all the bottles and jars on the cabinet, then hurriedly run upstairs with the medicine jars in his arms. She couldn't help but smile and turn her gaze to the man sitting opposite her playing with the wind-listening ruler: "He seems more like a disciple of a medical family."
“You can also use him as a disciple of a physician,” Mei Liangyu said without looking up.
Shi Yuezhen replied, "You brought him here just so I could use him as a disciple of the medical school?"
Mei Liangyu tapped the Wind Listening Ruler, then slowly looked up at Shi Yuezhen: "You've been staying at the clinic for too long. Some people have already sensed something's wrong, and more and more people will be watching you."
Shi Yuezhen looked down at the prescription in her hand, a faint smile playing on her lips: "It is indeed troublesome."
"Let's arrange a meeting with Dean Jiang in a few days, right here," Mei Liangyu said. "It'll be a good opportunity to test her attitude."
Shi Yuezhen nodded: "Okay."
Mei Liangyu casually asked, "Do you know how to make orchid poison?"
Shi Yuezhen looked up, her pale eyes reflecting no scenery. She said softly, "If you need it, it's not impossible."
Mei Liangyu stood up and said, "That's enough."
He caught a glimpse of Cang Shu coming to the clinic out of the corner of his eye, walked outside, bumped into Cang Shu briefly, and then left.
Cang Shu entered, met Shi Yuezhen's smiling eyes, placed the food box on the table, looked outside and asked, "What did Meimei say?"
“He’s got his eye on some unlucky guy who uses orchid poison,” Shi Yuezhen said. “He wants me to do him a small favor.”
Cang Shu responded with an "oh".
Shi Yuezhen then asked, "I won't be at the clinic tomorrow. Where would you like to go for a walk?"
Cang Shu then looked away from Shi Yuezhen, somewhat surprised. He then mentioned a place name, and Shi Yuezhen responded with an "okay."
Mei Liangyu went to Yueshan.
Yu Sui told him about what happened at Yueshan, and also told Wu Huaiwei that if she couldn't leave Yueshan for several days, her senior brother would come to find her.
Wu Huaiwei responded that Mei Liangyu could come and go as he pleased, as long as he could break through the barrier of Yueshan.
When Yu Sui learned that Mei Liangyu had arrived at the foot of the mountain, he asked him, "Senior brother, can you get in? Or should I come to the foot of the mountain to see you?"
Mei Liangyu replied, "You just wait on the mountain."
When he came last time, he was stopped outside because of the barrier. After watching for a while today, Mei Liangyu chose the fastest way: to ask Mu Yong'an.
Mu Yong'an answered all of Mei Liangyu's questions and was also very familiar with entering and leaving Yue Mountain. So he told Mei Liangyu how to get in, and soon he opened the barrier.
Yu Sui was unaware that Mei Liangyu could enter so quickly. She was still telling Mei Liangyu that Wu Huaiwei had gone to chase after the Saint Zou Qian, probably to stop Zou Qian from stealing wine on Yue Mountain.
She also noticed that Zou Qian scratched his neck several times, as if the itching was unbearable for him, and that drinking alcohol could stop it or give him psychological comfort.
I don't know if it's a disease or something else.
Yu Sui asked Mei Liangyu on the Listening Wind Ruler, and she discovered that many of the Twenty-Four Sages of Taiyi were related to her senior brother.
When Mei Liangyu arrived at Yueshan Pavilion, Pu Heng left to receive the message, and the two did not meet.
When Yu Sui learned that he had arrived, he got out of bed to open the door, went to the fence and looked down. When he saw Mei Liangyu, he called out in a clear voice, "Senior Brother!"
Pu Heng, who was standing in the shadows at the corner downstairs receiving the telepathic message, was stunned when he heard the girl's shout. He turned around and saw Mei Liangyu on the ground and Yu Sui on the pavilion looking at each other from afar.
Mei Liangyu squinted and looked up, noticing a smile on Yu Suishi's face.
He climbed the stairs and saw Yu Sui standing barefoot in the hallway. He asked, "Aren't you cold?"
"It's very cool," Yu Sui replied.
Mei Liangyu looked down and noticed the burn on the instep of her foot, his brows furrowing slightly: "How did you get that?"
Yu Sui also looked down, and after looking at herself, she exclaimed in surprise, "It was probably last night. Dean Wu was demonstrating to me the two poles of water and fire, the embodiment of the two energies of Yin and Yang, the fire was so powerful."
Mei Liangyu tilted her head toward the fence, gesturing for her to sit on it. Yu Sui did as she was told, gracefully flipping herself onto the fence with her hands on her hips.
Yu Sui wiggled her toes and watched her senior brother squat down in front of her. He reached out and lifted her skirt, his warm hand grasping her cold ankle. He supported her heel with his palm and saw a long, red, blister-like mark on the sole of her originally fair foot.
It seems that the Yin-Yang School's "fire" is indeed very powerful.
Yu Sui bent down, grabbed the hem of her skirt with her five fingers and lifted it up slightly, only to find that there were some blisters from burns on her calves.
She met Mei Liangyu's cold gaze as he looked up, and said softly, "It doesn't hurt, I don't feel anything."
After Mei Liangyu's gaze silently questioned whether my junior sister had something wrong with her brain, Yu Sui quickly added, "Really!"
"Doesn't it really hurt?" Mei Liangyu asked.
Yu Sui nodded, and Mei Liangyu pressed her fingers on the blister, immediately hearing the other's panicked voice: "Hey!"
Mei Liangyu said calmly, "Didn't you say it didn't hurt?"
Yu Sui honestly replied, "Of course it hurts when you press on it."
Mei Liangyu took out ointment from her mechanical box: "Why are you enduring this? You can't really stop hurting just because you say it doesn't hurt."
Yu Sui watched him squat down to apply medicine to himself, his words carrying a faint sarcasm, yet his movements were gentle. So she laughed at him, "Senior brother, you really are good at saying one thing and doing another."
"Am I being wronged by what you're saying?" Mei Liangyu asked without even looking up.
Yu Sui shook her head: "It's not unfair."
"When it comes to these two things, I can't beat you." Mei Liangyu let her put one foot on her lap and supported the other foot while applying medicine. Yu Sui tugged at her skirt, and Mei Liangyu saw the burning red marks on her calf. She then asked, "Is this how Dean Wu taught you?"
“She probably didn’t expect this either…” Yu Sui paused, in fact, she hadn’t dodged at the time, thinking she couldn’t be hurt.
She said, "It's normal to get injured during cultivation. It's actually a win for me that Dean Wu fought with me."
Mei Liangyu: "..."
I wonder who was it that gave me the cold shoulder just because they cut off a few gold hairpins and jewelry.
It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy.
Mei Liangyu asked, "How did she do it? Tell me."
"Can I tell you?" Yu Sui asked hesitantly. "That's Dean Wu's secret technique."
“I’ve seen the Reverse Star Technique before. It’s fine if you tell me. I can’t learn it without the Star Sea.” Mei Liangyu said without changing his expression. “Even if she wanted to teach me, I couldn’t.”
Yu Sui then recounted what had happened the previous night to Mei Liangyu, essentially giving herself a recap.
After listening, Mei Liangyu said, "The two poles are opposite. Although it is fire, which is the embodiment of the two energies of heaven and earth, it is the ultimate form of her Star Sea ability. It is indeed powerful."
Then she looked at Yu Sui's injury again: "It seems she knows her limits with this level of injury."
Yu Sui recalled the sparks she saw last night and sighed softly, "The Yin-Yang School's techniques are truly amazing."
These words also stirred up Mei Liangyu's memories. In that rainy night in the city where he was being chased, the woman in purple standing in front of him blocked the killing moves of many people in a short moment.
"I promised Dean Wu that I could only leave Yueshan after I had learned it." Yu Sui lifted her skirt to her knees so she wouldn't have to hold on to it all the time, and instead braced her hands on the fence, straightening up slightly as she said, "I don't know when I'll be able to learn it."
“You’re so smart, of course you’ll learn it quickly, and then…” Mei Liangyu was saying when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a large expanse of white, delicate and lustrous, and she instantly forgot what she was going to say next.
He frowned, looking up: "What's wrong with your skirt?"
Yu Sui lowered her head and said, "That way it won't cover you when I apply the medicine."
Mei Liangyu said, "If you put it down, it won't cover up."
Seeing that his words left no room for refusal, Yu Sui said "oh" and did as he said, then grabbed her skirt again: "But if I do that, I'll have to keep holding onto my skirt."
Mei Liangyu applied the medicine to her, her warm fingertips dipping into the cool ointment, gently spreading it across her reddened skin. Seemingly focused on her work, she replied somewhat absentmindedly, "Change your position."
Yu Sui asked, "Can I put it on my senior brother's shoulders? If it's higher, the hem of my skirt won't slip down."
Mei Liangyu said, "Okay."
Yu Sui then made another request: "Then senior brother, could you squat down a little more?"
Although Mei Liangyu did not speak, he did as she asked, squatting down and bending over at her feet, letting the girl stretch out one leg and put it on his shoulder.
Yu Sui freed her hands and happily leaned back against the fence, smiling as she looked at Mei Liangyu. Sunlight passed over her shoulders and fell on the man's side. Bathed in the light, his eyes appeared even clearer and brighter, captivating her gaze.
In the stillness, only the sound of the wind could be heard, but the hidden heartbeats carried by the wind were hard to detect.
Pu Heng, hiding in a corner downstairs, surveyed the view above the pavilion. He could hardly believe that the man crouching and bending behind that row of openwork railings was actually Mei Liangyu.
What surprised him most was that when the two of them were together, it was as if they were in their own world, harmonious and complementary, with no room for a third person.
Pu Heng had a faint smile on his lips as he turned his gaze from Mei Liangyu to Yu Sui.
From his position, he could catch a glimpse of the girl's profile, and his pale pupils reflected the bright smile on her face, making him slightly dazed.
Princess Qingyang, daughter of Prince Nangong, appeared at the residence of the Yin-Yang School's sage.
Yu Sui raised her hand to press down the stray hairs that were being blown by the wind, turned her head slightly, and looked down, but saw no one.
She looked away and asked Mei Liangyu, "Senior brother, do you know Pu Heng, a first-class disciple of the Yin-Yang School?"
Mei Liangyu turned to dig out the ointment, her expression unchanged, and answered without much emotional fluctuation: "I know there is such a person."
“I had heard of him before. When I came to Yueshan, I couldn’t get in because of the barrier. I happened to meet him. He went in and reported to Dean Wu before letting me in,” Yu Sui said. “When I woke up, he was still in the room. He came to ask Dean Wu for something. Later, it seems he received a telepathic message and left.”
"Is Pu Heng here?" Mei Liangyu asked.
“Yes, I am.” Yu Sui nodded.
Mei Liangyu said calmly, "He is indeed quite good and has earned Dean Wu's approval."
"Is he even more powerful than Senior Brother Xing Chun?" Yu Sui asked.
Mei Liangyu chuckled softly, "We mustn't let him hear that."
Yu Sui covered her mouth with both hands, making a gesture to seal it, and that was the end of the topic of Pu Heng.
After Mei Liangyu finished treating Yu Sui's burns, Pu Heng did not return, and Wu Huaiwei did not return because of Zou Qian's matter, giving the two some time alone.
After Mei Liangyu finished looking around inside, Yu Sui said, "Senior brother, give me your Wind-Listening Ruler."
As Mei Liangyu took out the wind-listening ruler and handed it to her, he asked, "What are you doing?"
"I want to vote." Yu Sui took the Wind-Listening Ruler and said seriously, "Vote for the World Destroyer."
Mei Liangyu: "..."
He was quiet for a moment, then found it too funny, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Who are you going to vote for?"
Yu Sui operated the Listening Wind Ruler simultaneously: "Throw it to my third brother."
Amidst Mei Liangyu's laughter, he added, "And what about Zhang Xiangyun and Luo Fu? Why didn't they nominate a Saint? Does that mean they're tacitly agreeing that a Saint can't be a destroyer of the world?"
Mei Liangyu asked her, "Who do you want to vote for?"
“Anything is possible.” Yu Sui held up her hand to Mei Liangyu, indicating a number. “After all, there are five.”
Mei Liangyu: "Besides that, is there any other news?"
Yu Sui knew he was asking about the other world destroyers, so he shook his head.
Mei Liangyu gazed at the girl who was playing with the wind-listening ruler with her head down, but then recalled the scene she had witnessed inside the sacred tree seed:
The people on the cliff included an army with flags, thirteenth-realm sorcerers, and continental saints. Those whose names he could call out and whose faces he could recognize were gradually becoming clearer in his mind.
“Let’s kill two of them first and see if they are the destroyers of the world.” Mei Liangyu looked down at the ruler in the sunlight. “Let’s start with the two you voted for.”
Yu Sui looked up when she heard the voice, but could only see his lowered eyes.
