Chapter 412 Nangong Sui is my current prized student.
412、
Madam Han led Wu Huaiwei and Tang Qing to Yu Sui's courtyard.
The mute woman stepped forward to greet her. When asked what the second young lady was doing, A-Jing replied, "The second young lady is crying inside and told none of us to disturb her."
“A sage from Taiyi has come to visit, how can we…” Before Madam Han could finish speaking, Wu Huaiwei had already walked into the house and warned, “No one is allowed to come in.”
Tang Qing nodded, turned around to look at Madam Han and the others, but said to Wu Huaiwei, "Don't worry, with me watching over them, no one can get in."
Mrs. Han remained silent.
As Wu Huaiwei entered the room and walked around the screen, she saw a girl sitting at the table playing with a wind-listening ruler. Hearing the noise, she turned around, stood up with a smile to greet her: "Dean Wu!"
She looked radiant and beautiful, showing no sign of being heartbroken from crying.
Wu Huaiwei said with a stern face, "You're playing me."
Yu Sui pretended not to know: "What?"
"Weren't you heartbroken at home with your eyes all red?" Wu Huaiwei looked her over.
"I know you, Second Master, would be heartbroken to see me being bullied, but I'm under house arrest by my father and can't get out. I can't find you, so I had to say this on purpose to get you to come and see me." Yu Sui lowered her head and said aggrievedly when Wu Huaiwei asked her question. "Now that I'm in the capital, the only person I can rely on is you, Second Master."
Wu Huaiwei had to admit that she felt comfortable hearing the term "Second Master" again.
“Even though something like this happened to you, I was going to come over anyway, but I was delayed by other things along the way.” Wu Huaiwei glared at her, and the red ribbon flew over and tapped Yu Sui’s forehead.
Yu Sui was hit on the forehead and cried out in pain as she covered her forehead: "It's not that I'm not sad. All these years I've worked so hard to be worthy of the position of princess, and my father negated it all with just one sentence. I thought that when I came back as a lowly sorcerer, I would be glorious, but he looks down on me at all."
In front of Wu Huaiwei, Yu Sui tried her best to play the role of a wronged little girl.
Wu Huaiwei was also very angry when she heard this, and directly scolded, "Your father is senile. He can accept that Su Xing is from Yan, but he can't accept that she used despicable means against other children. Besides, if something happens, the blame should be placed on Su Xing, why should you be implicated?"
“Now everyone knows about the half-piece of the Breath Soil. My father even asked me if I was willing to die for my mother.” Yu Sui lowered her head, her voice growing increasingly muffled. “Even my mother asked me the same question, if I was willing.”
Wu Huaiwei's feelings at this moment were comparable to Yu Sui's when she learned that Tang Qing had a crush on Wu Huaiwei for many years.
"Did they really say that?" Wu Huaiwei asked.
Yu Sui nodded in response.
Seeing the usually lively girl now sullenly on the verge of tears, Wu Huaiwei felt a pang of unease. Although she didn't dare say how good she was to Yu Sui or how much she cared, besides, this was someone else's family matter, and Wu Huaiwei never interfered in such things.
Seeing the little girl's dejected look, Wu Huaiwei couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
“He can do this to his own child? I underestimated them. Why doesn’t he pressure Su Xing instead of you?” Wu Huaiwei thought for a moment and then showed a look of disdain. “Su Xing’s courage is getting smaller and smaller. It’s not like she betrayed Yan back then.”
Any other normal parent would be focused on finding a way to separate the two creatures and ensure their survival.
Nangong Ming is quite convenient; he just waits for either Su Xing or Yu Sui to die.
Yu Sui feigned innocence: "If Father knew that I had a Yin Fish inside me, he would probably reconsider. Give me some more time, and maybe I can find a way that no one has to die."
"He knows?" Wu Huaiwei raised an eyebrow, then looked at Yu Sui. "You should also know that Gu Gan had an accident in the Endless Sea?"
Yu Sui nodded: "Afterwards, I searched for Brother Gu in the Endless Sea for a long time, but I didn't find a single clue."
She said in a low voice, "Although I promised you I would kill Brother Gu and steal the Yang Fish, I really have no choice in this situation."
Wu Huaiwei comforted her, saying, "Plans can't keep up with changes. If it weren't for your senior brother..."
She paused halfway through her sentence and quickly corrected herself: "That stubborn old man, Chang, has caused a series of messes. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have come to Qingyang to look for someone."
"Who are you looking for?" Yu Sui asked.
“Yan Xiaochuan,” Wu Huaiwei said calmly, “His master is dead. I promised Mu Yong’an that I would help take care of this child.”
“I heard he’s at the ancestral home, being looked after by his grandmother,” Yu Sui said. “If you’re looking for him, I’ll take you there right now.”
Wu Huaiwei went to see Tang Qing because she was afraid that the problems between Qingyang and Yan Kingdom would lead to Yan Xiaochuan's death in the capital.
Find someone you know; at least they can help Yan Xiaochuan leave Qingyang capital alive.
Now that he learned that Yan Xiaochuan was at the Nangong family's old residence, he couldn't help but frown.
This situation seems... as if she's overthinking it.
Wu Huaiwei thought Yan Xiaochuan had come to Qingyang seeking revenge, and that Nangong Ming was holding him captive and preventing him from leaving.
She looked at Yu Sui and said, "Alright, then take me there to see. You shouldn't stay in this palace anymore. Who knows when your heartless parents will try to kill you? When I'm still in Qingyang, you can come with me."
"Is it okay?" Yu Sui asked eagerly.
Wu Huaiwei waved to her: "Why not? You are my disciple, and it's only natural for a disciple to follow his master!"
Yu Sui paused for a moment: "Aren't you most afraid of those troublesome things? What if they find out I'm learning from you..."
"Old Master Chang's heart is with his eldest disciple, he can't care about these things right now." Wu Huaiwei waved her hand, signaling her to stop talking nonsense, and followed her out.
Wu Huaiwei kept Yu Sui by her side, both to prevent her from being killed by Nangong Ming and Su Xing, and to keep an eye on Yin Yu, so that the Yin-Yang Twin Fish wouldn't be lost.
Besides, the Yin Fish has already been delivered to Nangong Ming, would he not want it?
Yu Sui bet that Wu Huaiwei wouldn't let Yin Yu fall into the hands of others, especially Nangong Ming, so she would definitely take her away from the palace.
Wu Huaiwei led Yu Sui outside, raised her head and said to Tang Qing, "Let's go."
"Okay." Tang Qing turned around without asking any further questions.
The two women led Yu Sui out. Madam Han wanted to call Yu Sui back, but Yu Sui turned to the mute woman first and said, "Grandma, please take care of my mother in the mansion for me."
"By the way, these are my father's personal attendants. He's afraid I'll be killed by those Yan Kingdom sorcerers who want to steal the Breath Soil in the capital, so he wants them to follow me around at all times." Yu Sui pointed to A Jing and the others and said to Wu Huaiwei, "What do you think we should do?"
Wu Huaiwei turned around and looked at A Jing and the others with a disdainful expression: "Now that you have two Saints protecting you, what do you need these guards who are not even at the Thirteenth Realm?"
Yu Sui said to A Jing, "Just answer like this when the prince asks."
How could A-Jing dare to say no? She could only nod in agreement.
Madam Han wouldn't stop Tang Qing and Wu Huaiwei from leaving, but it would be a bit difficult if they took Yu Sui with them.
Madam Han remained composed and said to Tang Qing, "Your Excellency, you have not shown your face for a long time. Since it is such a coincidence that we meet today, why not wait for the Prince to return and have a chat? The Prince must have a lot to say to you."
"No, I don't have time," Tang Qing said without turning his head.
Madam Han hesitated, and the group arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, where they happened to meet Nangong Ming, who was returning.
Cao Yan and Jiang Chi walked ahead and were somewhat surprised to see the group of people coming out of the artificial mountain passage.
“Your Highness, it’s the Second Miss and the First Madam, but there are two others who look like…” Before Jiang Chi could finish speaking, Cao Yan whispered, “It’s Venerable Tang.”
Nangong Ming returned from the palace somewhat exhausted, but after hearing Cao Yan's words, he perked up and saw Tang Qing and Wu Huaiwei walking together.
"Your Highness," Madam Han called out to him, "You are not in the manor today. The Venerable One has come to visit and is about to leave."
She strode forward and briefly explained what had just happened: "The Venerable One brought a sage from Taiyi to visit, and wants to take Sui Sui away."
Yu Sui stood beside Wu Huaiwei, looking at Nangong Ming across the crowd. Her lips curved slightly, a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown.
Nangong Ming hadn't expected her to have any connection with Wu Huaiwei. He concealed his thoughts and looked at Tang Qing with a smile: "Venerable One, it's been a long time. Where are you planning to take my daughter?"
Tang Qing looked at Yu Sui beside Wu Huaiwei before asking her in a low voice, "Are you going to take his daughter with you?"
Wu Huaiwei said with a playful tone, "Nangong Sui is my disciple. Does a master need anyone else's permission to take his disciple out to cultivate?"
Everyone present was taken aback and looked at Wu Huaiwei and Yu Sui in surprise.
They all knew that Yu Sui was the disciple of the Sage Chang Gen, but they had never heard of any relationship between her and Wu Huaiwei of the Yin-Yang School.
The surprise in people's eyes was hard to hide. While Nangong Ming was surprised, his mind was also racing. He subtly observed the relationship between Wu Huaiwei and Yu Sui.
Her composure just now was indeed because of Wu Huaiwei.
Tang Qing acted as if he couldn't see anyone else, focusing only on asking Wu Huaiwei, "When did you take on a disciple?"
“Of course it was during the Taiyi era. Did you think I only just remembered to take on disciples?” Wu Huaiwei said this to Nangong Ming and the others. “Nangong Sui is my current prized student. He is the first disciple in the world to learn my Reverse Star and Reversal Technique.”
She looked arrogantly at the stunned Nangong Ming and the others, "You blind fool, you abandon your precious, intelligent daughter and only favor Su Xing. It seems that in a man's heart, his own woman is ultimately more important."
The hint of disdain in Wu Huaiwei's eyes made Nangong Ming's expression darken slightly. He stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "You entered the Taiyi sect every year and were taught by the Sage Changgen. When did you join the Yin-Yang School?"
"Father, my talent in Yin-Yang School is too good, and I can't stop Second Master from wanting to take me as a disciple." Yu Sui pretended to be humble and troubled and said to Nangong Ming, "At that time, Dean Wu wanted to take me as a disciple and teach me the Reverse Star Technique. I almost got into a fight with Master. The saints of Taiyi rushed over to mediate. In the end, I asked Dean Wu to teach me in private, and that's how the fight was settled."
“Those who can see the talent will naturally fight over it, while those who can’t can only blame their poor eyesight for missing out.” Wu Huaiwei and Yu Sui chimed in sarcasm, “Your Highness, my disciple is a rare gem. I’ve spent many years selecting her from among so many people. It would be a waste to leave her in the palace, so I want her to follow me from today onwards to continue improving her cultivation.”
Everyone present was intelligent, and Wu Huaiwei's words had a hidden meaning, but the others dared not think too deeply about it.
Upon closer examination, one will realize that Wu Huaiwei's every word implies that Nangong Ming is blind and cannot recognize the treasure covered in dust.
Nangong Ming's expression was hard to discern, but he still wore a faint smile, remaining calm and elegant: "It is Sui Sui's good fortune to have won Dean Wu's favor."
Those who knew Nangong Ming well knew that he was already displeased. If he were truly happy about this, he would have praised him much more than just that one sentence.
"I heard that she had only been back for a short time when Your Highness stripped her of her inheritance rights. That's a real pity." Wu Huaiwei was clearly trying to provoke her.
Nangong Ming simply said, "Family matters are difficult to resolve."
Wu Huaiwei gave a soft, ambiguous hum and said to Yu Sui, "Let's go."
Yu Sui stood still, looking troubled: "Second Master, I forgot to tell you, I am currently under house arrest by my father. Without his order, I cannot leave the palace."
Nangong Ming never expected that his naive and arrogant youngest daughter would resort to such a low-level tactic at this time, but ironically, the low-level tactic was effective.
As soon as Yu Sui finished speaking, Wu Huaiwei and Tang Qing both turned to look at Nangong Ming.
"Father, can I go with Second Master and the others?" Yu Sui looked at Nangong Ming and sighed.
For some reason, this sigh made Nangong Ming feel angry towards his youngest daughter for the first time.
He said calmly, "Of course."
Yu Sui looked at him, a smile spreading across her face, and walked towards the gate of the Prince's Mansion in front of everyone.
Nangong Ming watched as Yu Sui followed Wu Huaiwei, chatting and laughing softly as they walked away. He had never seen her so cheerful and bright before.
Stripping her of the Nangong surname and revoking her inheritance rights seemed to have no impact on her whatsoever.
Nangong Ming stood there, gazing at the gates of the Prince's Mansion for a long time.
Neither Madam Han nor Cao Yan dared to approach and disturb them.
