Chapter 388 You Have No Right to End This
The girl who walked to the window of the cloud carriage looked at Mei Liangyu, who was covered in wet clothes and had a pale face. She looked up at him, but her bright eyes were full of smiles.
Yu Sui gently opened her mouth and silently called out, "Senior Brother."
Mei Liangyu really didn't expect to meet her in the Endless Sea. Seeing Yu Sui's weak and miserable appearance, he assumed that she had fought Gongsun Qi and lost.
Situ Jin walked through the corridor and saw Mei Liangyu step over the window and come to Yu Sui's side. The black and white crane was still outside, with a blood-soaked, unconscious person on its back.
Mei Liangyu stepped forward and grabbed Yu Sui's hand; the icy touch made him frown even more.
Upon seeing her senior brother, Yu Sui changed her mind and, when Gongsun Qi looked over, tiptoed and kissed Mei Liangyu.
A-Quan: "?"
Is this exciting?
Situ Jin: "..."
Nangong Sui, are you crazy?
Gongsun Qi paused in his forward motion, clearly taken aback.
Only Mei Liangyu himself seemed oblivious to the problem with Yu Sui's actions. He raised his hand again to touch Yu Sui's forehead, which remained icy cold.
"How did you do that?"
"I'm fine, you should calm down first!" Yu Sui couldn't help but lower her voice and say, "Even someone who lives to be a hundred years old can't withstand this kind of drain. Do you want to die before me?"
Her words carried obvious complaints and dissatisfaction, which surprised Mei Liangyu. Her last sentence instantly reminded him of the prophecy he had seen in the sacred tree seed, and he felt a moment of guilt.
He waved to withdraw the Harmony of Heaven and Earth, and helped the seriously injured and unconscious Xing Chun into the carriage.
Before Yu Sui followed Mei Liangyu inside, she glanced at Gongsun Qi. The girl's slightly upturned eyebrows left Situ Jin and A Quan puzzled, but Gongsun Qi understood her subtle greeting.
"Tell me the truth, she's Nangong Sui, isn't she?" A-Quan couldn't take it anymore, grabbing Situ Jin and turning her head away with a grim expression. "Was she deliberately provoking our brother just now?"
"Although I don't want to admit it, it seems to be the case." Situ Jin applauded Nangong Sui's courage in his heart at this moment.
Did she not know that Sheng Fei was almost killed by Mei Liangyu's uncle with two stabs?
That scene should be seen by everyone in the Nangong family.
Situ Jin and A Quan both looked at Gongsun Qi, wanting to see how he would respond to Nangong Sui's provocation.
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Qi did not immediately draw his sword to kill anyone. Instead, he walked into the house with a cold expression, then closed the door, leaving Situ Jin and A Quan outside.
Yu Sui stood by the bed, asking her senior brother Xing Chun what was going on, but didn't turn around when she heard the door close.
Mei Liangyu turned around and called out to Gongsun Qi, who had just entered, "Uncle."
Gongsun Qi didn't look at him, but stared at Yu Sui and said calmly, "Didn't you say your name was Xiaoyu?"
“Telling you this name is my greatest sincerity,” Yu Sui said, turning around to look at him.
"Is that so?" Gongsun Qi gripped the hilt of her sword with one hand. "Not saying you are Nangong Ming's daughter is the greatest malice you can show me."
Before they could finish speaking, a heatwave swept through the entire space, and the sharp sword energy bursting forth pierced their ears; even Mei Liangyu was not spared.
The doors and windows trembled, and the ornaments inside the room shattered one after another due to the immense pressure of the Five Elements. The Jinghong Longsword was drawn, carrying the aura of blood and fire as it charged towards Yu Sui.
Yu Sui neither dodged nor avoided Gongsun Qi's murderous intent towards him.
The moment their eyes met, Mei Liangyu had already stepped in between them, and the divine wooden talisman that flew from his hand hovered in the air.
Golden runes flashed in the black front, and the divination array unfolded, dividing this space into two worlds. Yu Sui, standing behind the divine wooden divination stick, was unable to feel Gongsun Qi's five-element pressure.
“Uncle, I won’t stop you from killing anyone else in the Nangong family, except for her.” Mei Liangyu looked directly into Gongsun Qi’s eyes, which were filled with murderous intent. “She is different from the other members of the Nangong family.”
“How is it different?” Gongsun Qi was amused by Mei Liangyu’s naive statement. “She is even the little bastard child of that bitch Su Xing and Nangong Mingsheng.”
He shattered Mei Liangyu's protective aura with a single sword strike, and the cold, sharp sword was held horizontally against Mei Liangyu's neck, the blade cutting through the flesh and drawing blood, showing no mercy whatsoever.
Mei Liangyu showed no intention of dodging. His meaning was clear: even if this sword strike meant his head would fall to the ground, he would not back down.
Before the sword could pierce through blood and reach bone, a hand reached out from behind Mei Liangyu and grabbed the forward-moving blade. Yu Sui frowned and said, "If you say that to me, I'll be sad."
Gongsun Qi looked at Yu Sui from a distance of one sword's length. His suddenly widened eyes were completely different from his usual calm and composed demeanor, filled with a sense of oppression and madness: "Nangong Ming wants you to seduce him and get information about the strange fire from him, is that right?"
"Do you really think he's that powerful?" Yu Sui sneered. "Nangong Ming is just a worthless bastard who knows nothing about strange fire."
These words did indeed give Gongsun Qi a slight shock. His fierce, beast-like pupils flashed, and he calmed down a bit.
Mei Liangyu once again used the Harmony of Heaven and Earth technique to block out the different energies and force back the sword in Gongsun Qi's hand.
Seeing that he used the Harmony of Heaven and Earth again, this time Yu Sui and Gongsun Qi looked at him with displeasure.
“Ah Li.”
"Senior brother."
The two spoke at the same time, then paused because of the way the other addressed them.
Mei Liangyu said to Gongsun Qi, "I didn't have time to tell you before, but you must have heard from others that I like Nangong Ming's daughter, Nangong Sui."
"You also know that besides being a princess of the Nangong Prince's Mansion, she has another identity. Uncle, for you, her second identity should be more important than whose daughter she is."
Gongsun Qi remained indifferent, simply saying, "Stop using the Harmony of Heaven and Earth."
“If you insist on killing her, then I will not stop.” Mei Liangyu remained calm throughout, without the slightest hesitation. “Nangong Ming is Nangong Ming, Su Xing is Su Xing, and she is herself.”
"Is that how you convince yourself?" Gongsun Qi raised his sword and pointed it at Mei Liangyu, disgusted by his naivety and stupidity. "You are a Yan citizen, yet you fall in love with Nangong Ming's daughter. Even Nangong Ming would laugh if he knew. You really like to go out of your way to be shameless."
Mei Liangyu ignored his insults, saying, "I don't care what a dead man thinks."
Gongsun Qi: "Are you saying her father deserves to die right in front of her?"
Mei Liangyu smiled and said, "Have you forgotten who first called Nangong Ming a scoundrel?"
He ignored Gongsun Qi's attempts to sow discord and continued, "Uncle, among our family members, you were the first to abandon the State of Yan. You have no right to criticize or bind me as a person of Yan."
Gongsun Qi also said, "Fine, let's not talk about Yan. Nangong Ming killed your elder sister, and caused the deaths of your elder brother and mother. Can you just let it go like this?"
"If you insist on bringing this up, can I also blame you for having the ability to change all of this, yet always choosing to run away when your mother needs you most, letting these tragedies happen?"
Mei Liangyu knew that what he was about to say would be like a knife piercing Gongsun Qi's heart, leaving him covered in wounds, yet he still pressed on relentlessly:
“I sent you a letter in advance, asking you to come back, but you chose to ignore it. You were the first to abandon the Yan Kingdom, and the mess you left behind was all cleaned up by my mother.”
“She and your father knew long ago that you possessed a different kind of fire and were destined to destroy the world, but they never asked you to do anything because of it.”
"Even if they knew that you could change the situation in Yan with your own hands, they wouldn't ask you to do so. Instead, they would keep your secret until their deaths. Otherwise, could you have lived such a carefree life for so many years?"
"If you come back, they won't die."
“I will not lose my mother, nor my elder sister and brother, nor will I be brought to Taiyi by Chang Gen to have my memories erased, to recognize my mother’s killer as my master, to regard him as my closest and most worshipped person, or even to regard him as my father.”
"Enough!" Gongsun Qi roared angrily, but Mei Liangyu stared at his eyes, which were filled with madness, and said slowly and deliberately, "...and will not fall in love with Nangong Ming's daughter in Taiyi."
"Uncle, all of this is the result of the choices you made for me."
Gongsun Qi laughed and said, "Since I brought you this choice, I will help you end it."
“Uncle,” Mei Liangyu said indifferently, “you have no right to end this.”
Gongsun Qi's eyes were like those of a dying, trapped beast, bloodshot with rage. After Mei Liangyu uttered those words, he lost all hope of survival.
He lowered his head slightly, and the light reflected from the gleaming sword seemed to flash through countless past memories.
Gongsun Qi was indeed hurt by Mei Liangyu's words.
He either didn't receive the letter Mei Liangyu sent him, or he did receive it but forgot. He was already living in a daze during that time, and couldn't remember many things. Sometimes he would wake up in a different place and have no recollection of what he had done before.
What Gongsun Qi found even more unacceptable was that he later wondered if his sister and the others had given him any signals before the accident, which he had not received.
Now this conjecture has been confirmed by Mei Liangyu himself. Yes, he missed it. If he hadn't missed it, none of this would have happened.
Even though Mei Liangyu was lying to him, he chose to harm his uncle rather than protect Yu Sui.
Mei Liangyu successfully transformed Gongsun Qi's heart, filled with anger and hatred, into one of sorrow and pain, turning his hatred for others into self-hatred and making him even more unable to forgive himself.
Seeing that Gongsun Qi's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, Mei Liangyu looked away, but still said, "Uncle, no one wants you to get involved in those messy things in Yan again, and I don't want you to get involved in what I'm going to do next either. Just stay away from the six kingdoms and live your carefree life as before."
Gongsun Qi looked up and stared at Yu Sui for a long time.
Yu Sui initially met his gaze, but then realized that the strange man's recent changes did indeed suggest mental instability. To avoid upsetting him, she innocently turned her gaze away.
“Zhao Yuxiang isn’t dead yet, how can I live a carefree life?” Gongsun Qi said softly.
Mei Liangyu was stunned: "He's not dead?"
Gongsun Qi continued to stare at Yu Sui, but his voice grew softer and softer: "Yes, everyone is dead, but those damned people like Zhao Yuxiang are still alive and well in the capital of Qingyang, dreaming every day and continuing their great cause of overthrowing the country."
Yu Sui was also surprised to hear this, and for some reason, she suddenly thought of Elder Yan.
"You want me to stay out of those things? That won't work now." Gongsun Qi stared into Yu Sui's eyes and grinned silently. "You can risk your life to protect Nangong Sui, but Ali, if you want to risk your life to protect others, be prepared to die with them under my sword."
