Chapter 136 I'm not happy to take a few less glances
Zhang Xiangyun received the message from the Xuan Kui organization three days later.
Over the past three days, the sages of Taiyi have been intervening in the search for the Orchid Poison, affecting not only the academy but also the outer city, and even the flying dragon cloud carts transporting goods at the ferry crossing have been halted and searched.
Both the mechanical experts and the forces outside the city had to cooperate with the orders of the Twenty-Four Sages of Taiyi.
On the surface, Yu Sui pretended to be worried about the fragments of the Pagoda, but he took the initiative to ask Gu Gan about it every day. In private, he locked himself in his room day and night reading ancient books by famous authors, trying to find clues related to the Tianzi script.
She had considered using the Divine Eye on the Heavenly Character on the fragment, but no matter how she tried, she would be affected by the fragment before she could use it, giving up all thoughts of exploration and knowledge and falling into a state of calm and tranquility.
Yu Sui rummaged through Dingji's library in just one or two days.
Xue Mushi is more motivated than before and is preparing to challenge himself to a higher level, planning to visit the Grade B library.
That morning, Yu Sui went to the Ghost Path Holy Hall to ask his master some questions about cultivation.
The morning dew still clung to the treetops, and the cool autumn air carried an all-pervasive dampness. As soon as Yu Sui stepped out of the forest path, he saw several people standing in front of the outer gate of the sanctuary.
This was quite unusual. She had been in Taiyi for so long, and this was the first time she had seen anyone other than her senior brother come to the Ghost Path Holy Hall. It seemed that they couldn't get in, so they could only wait outside.
Upon closer inspection, one will find that waiting outside are two military strategists, Leng Rouyin and Kuang Chu, as well as an agricultural strategist, Ou Rushuang.
Mei Liangyu was also there, calmly and quietly talking to the three saints.
He first caught sight of Yu Sui emerging from the forest path, paused for a moment, then his gaze fell generously on Yu Sui. Without letting her linger, he said, "Master is waiting for you inside."
Mei Liangyu gestured for her to go inside quickly and not linger outside.
Yu Sui bowed to the three saints and jogged into the sanctuary, avoiding contact with them.
Leng Rouyin and the other two didn't pay much attention to Yu Sui either.
Yu Sui ran all the way into the main hall of the sanctuary.
“Master,” Yu Sui said innocently, “a sage has arrived outside, and my senior brother is greeting him. I wonder what it’s for.”
She didn't sit idle after coming in; she immediately started tidying up the desk, most of which had been messed up by Mei Liangyu. Yu Sui patiently put everything back in its place each time.
Mei Liangyu only takes action when he is in a good mood.
The Sage Changgen replied, "It is related to the orchid poison."
"Are the three sages outside responsible for tracking down the whereabouts of the Orchid Poison?" Yu Sui glanced outside. "Who is so bold as to sell Orchid Poison in Taiyi and even give it to the disciples of the academy?"
Saint Changgen said, "I will go to the outer city tonight. Based on the clues they have found, we may be able to find the source."
So fast?
Yu Sui moved her eyes and turned to look back at the portrait.
However, if the actions of the twenty-four sages of Taiyi were to drag on for too long, it would make them look bad, and those involved in the Orchid Poison would feel uneasy.
The best approach is to sacrifice some of the benefits, find a scapegoat, cut the Gordian knot, and let the matter die down.
I wonder who this unlucky guy who was pushed out by Taiyi and Xuankui is.
Yu Sui remembered Mei Liangyu, who was still outside, and asked Sage Changgen, "Is Senior Brother also going?"
“Your senior brother said he has other matters to attend to,” said Sage Changgen. “Taiyi cannot tolerate the existence of Orchid Poison and must resolve this issue as quickly as possible.”
“Then we should get the Milky Way water back too. Could it be that the orchid corpses hiding in Taiyi stole the Milky Way water?” Yu Sui said. “Brother Gu said that he really didn’t take the Milky Way water.”
"The sage Changsun Zi, a master of divination, has already performed many divinations on this matter, but has not yet come to an answer." Sage Changgen patiently answered her question, "First, find the orchid corpse; perhaps we can obtain clues."
Xuan Kui went to great lengths to obtain the Milky Way Water, so he wouldn't hand it over easily.
Losing some profits would dispel others' suspicions, but Yinhe Shui would not give up. Perhaps they would tamper with the outer city's operations tonight, making the people of Taiyi believe that Yinhe Shui had already been transported out of Taiyi.
Yu Sui guessed at the next move of the Xuan Kui organization, nodded obediently, and did not show too much concern for the orchid poison. Instead, he talked to Saint Chang Gen about cultivation.
When Mei Liangyu returned, she saw Yu Sui standing in front of the desk, writing the incantations of the Ghost Daoist on paper with a pen. She looked very serious, as if she hadn't noticed anyone coming in.
The Sage Changgen did not offer any words of reminder.
Mei Liangyu, feeling a pang of longing, naturally reached out and patted her head. Yu Sui turned her head and was startled. Mei Liangyu also realized that their master was still there.
"How's your training going?" Mei Liangyu withdrew his hand without making a sound, but asked quickly.
He was quick-witted; it was perfectly normal for a senior brother to care for his junior sister.
It's just that I used to be free of distractions, but now my mind is impure, which is why I care about this room full of dead people.
Yu Sui showed Mei Liangyu the incantation written on the paper, and replied as if nothing had happened, "I can already remember it, but I can't write it out in one stroke yet, it's a bit slow."
She tilted her head and smiled at Mei Liangyu, a mischievous smile playing on her lips as she laughed at her senior brother's little scheme.
"Practice more, and with your talent, you'll get it in a couple of days." After praising her, Mei Liangyu turned to Sage Changgen and said, "I have already conveyed Master's intentions to the three Sages, and they have no objections."
Chang Gen the Sage: "Good."
Mei Liangyu watched Yu Sui write the incantation characters and followed suit, writing a few strokes as well. Soon, several black, flamboyant incantation characters appeared on the white paper.
Yu Sui glanced at it twice and then brought up the level-up challenge with him: "Senior brother, Ding Shengbing only needs to pass one level, can he continue to challenge?"
"For example, if I pass a level today and reach level C, can I continue to challenge the next level and advance to level D, or do I have to wait another two months?"
Mei Liangyu said, "Let's wait two more months for the next level-up challenge."
Yu Sui nodded.
Mei Liangyu asked, "Are you going to level up and take on a challenge?"
“I want to go,” Yu Sui said. “It doesn’t seem too difficult.”
Mei Liangyu glanced at her after hearing this and said, "You can go. You'll know how difficult it is once you get there."
As if he had finally found an opportunity to interject, Chang Gen asked Yu Sui if he was confident and which challenge he wanted to take on first.
Yu Suitian said innocently, "I already have the Heavenly Secret Technique to absorb spirits, so the simplest thing should be martial arts, right?"
Mei Liangyu said, "Ding Shengbing's martial arts champion is at least at the fifth level."
Yu Sui then asked, "What if some people aren't good at martial arts and can't win?"
“You can also just pass the Zhou Tian test and the Five Elements Generating Technique. The minimum requirement for martial arts is to pass the Ding to Bing level. Beyond that, a few families do not necessarily require you to pursue martial arts.” Mei Liangyu said, “Disciples of medical families, medical practitioners, farmers, Yin-Yang families, and Taoist families also specialize in communication arrays, mechanical arts, and military formations. The standards will be adjusted according to the different abilities of the disciples.”
Yu Sui nodded to indicate that she understood, and decided to give it a try in a couple of days.
Mei Liangyu wrote for a while and then stopped. He picked up the Listening Wind Ruler, looked at it, and said he was going to find Zhonglishan at the military strategist's office before leaving.
Yu Sui was also going to the soldier's house, but she wasn't in a hurry. She finished writing on the few pages of paper on the table before leaving.
Li Jinshuang is not in a position to act alone recently, as it could easily arouse suspicion.
Yu Sui then used the excuse of going to a military strategist's to practice swordsmanship and physical skills to talk to her.
The military strategist opened his training grounds and some of his military formations to the public, so it was always quite lively.
Disciples from other martial arts schools who want to improve their physical skills all love to go to the military school.
The drill ground is one of the most bustling places for military strategists.
As a disciple of a military strategist, I love to fight bare-armed here, which not only shows off my impressive physique but also demonstrates my powerful physical skills.
For them, the brutal, hand-to-hand combat was a kind of enjoyment.
But more often it comes from the competition among the teenagers, which attracts other girls to the martial arts arena.
Yu Sui stood on the sidelines, watching the groups of military disciples running in formation through the fence. Just by watching from the sidelines, he could feel the intense atmosphere.
She stared intently.
Mei Liangyu found Zhong Lishan at the martial arts arena and took him away. From afar, he saw Yu Sui standing at the edge of the arena. Her dark, bright eyes followed the disciples in the arena, and it was easy to tell what she was looking at.
Mei Liangyu initially thought that Yu Sui would see him on his own.
After waiting for a while, he realized that even if he died now, Yu Sui would not be able to see him.
Seeing Mei Liangyu turn around, Zhong Lishan could no longer bear it and walked towards Nangong Sui. He stopped where he was and watched the play with a leisurely air.
Yu Sui was suddenly grabbed by the back of her collar and pulled back.
Mei Liangyu asked her, "Is it very beautiful?"
As soon as Yu Sui turned around, she met her senior brother's ambiguous smile.
Mei Liangyu put her on the ground, and without thinking, she replied, "I'm looking at Li Jinshuang."
Mei Liangyu said, "Li Jinshuang is not inside."
Yu Sui nodded in agreement: "That's why I'm looking for her."
Mei Liangyu hissed, loosened his collar and grabbed the back of her neck, his voice lowered: "I don't want you to look at me for too long."
Yu Sui said, "I understand."
The hand that was gently pinching her neck turned into a pressing and kneading motion, like stroking hair, leaving hot marks on her delicate and smooth skin.
"I'm leaving." Mei Liangyu withdrew his hand. "I'll come to the military academy next time and practice with you."
Yu Sui asked, "Senior brother, do we need to pay?"
Mei Liangyu glared at her, but didn't answer. He walked towards Zhonglishan, who was waiting behind him.
Yu Sui smiled and reached out to touch the back of her neck where it was still warm.
There's nothing wrong with people who are too possessive...
There were many disciples in the martial arts arena, from all sorts of families. Zhang Xiangyun and Luo Fu, who had finished their sparring on the open-air martial arts stage, sheathed their swords and took a break, when they happened to see Yu Sui and Mei Liangyu interacting on the sidelines.
Zhang Xiangyun sneered, picked up the kettle, and drank a mouthful: "These two senior and junior siblings have a good relationship, I think it's a bit too good."
Luo Fu frowned: "She'd actually agree?"
The two received a message from Xuan Kui, instructing Nangong Sui to take Qiao Jun's place.
Luo Fu couldn't see how Nangong Sui was capable of doing this job well.
Whether she has the ability or not is another matter, but if it involves Mei Liangyu, and her life and safety, she might not necessarily agree to do so.
Before Zhang Xiangyun could answer, Luo Fu continued, "Try to persuade them again, to change their minds. No matter how you look at it, Nangong Sui can't help."
“You still don’t understand that person.” Zhang Xiangyun finished drinking water and took a breath, staring at Yu Sui on the sidelines. “Qingkui doesn’t really want Nangong Sui to do anything, but rather she wants her to be unable to do anything and then get out of Taiyi.”
