Chapter 87 Will You Be Sad?
Mei Liangyu looked at Yu Sui, sat up abruptly, and asked her in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
"The barrier had just broken when you were knocked unconscious, Senior Brother." Yu Sui's gaze followed his movement as he patiently explained, "The five elements in the valley were out of balance, and a strong wind arose, blowing the fallen flowers onto your hair."
Mei Liangyu then slowly released her hand, his dark eyes staring at her intently.
The valley, previously chaotic with the five elements, has gradually calmed down. The clear stream is now filled with fallen flowers swept in by the gale, accumulating and blocking the flow, and many dead fireflies have fallen to the ground.
The two were by the stream next to the sacred tree seed. The barrier was no longer there. Xue Mushi was scouting ahead when he noticed Mei Liangyu had woken up and turned around.
Yu Sui hesitated under her senior brother's gaze and was about to withdraw her hand when she heard Mei Liangyu say, "Pick it."
She reached out her hand, which had been suspended in mid-air, and removed all the fallen flowers clinging to his hair.
"What did you see, Senior Brother?" Yu Sui asked in a soft voice, her gaze filled with curiosity.
Mei Liangyu also asked himself what he had seen.
He wanted to see a divination related to his life and death, but what he saw was his obedient and lovely junior sister setting everything on fire with strange flames.
Mei Liangyu quickly recalled the scene on the flat ground of the cliff. He had even seen the saints of Taiyi Academy, but he hadn't seen himself.
Perhaps he was already dead before Yu Sui unleashed his strange fire to destroy the world.
He didn't even have a chance to be burned by the strange fire.
Is my junior sister really that sad that I died?
So sad that you want to destroy the world?
Mei Liangyu's expression turned strange for a moment.
There's no reason for the Divine Tree Seed to make him specifically watch how Yu Sui releases his strange fire.
Her secret of possessing a strange fire was obviously exposed, and she was besieged and killed by powerful figures from the Xuan Gu Continent. Judging from the appearance, she had been fighting for an unknown amount of time, and her body was already at its limit. If the strange fire was her last resort, it wouldn't be too surprising.
Mei Liangyu was even hesitant, wondering whether he should be shocked that his junior sister possessed a strange fire and was a destroyer of the world, or shocked that he had died first, but the divine tree seed hadn't let him see how he died.
What does my death have to do with my junior sister's destruction of the world? There must be some connection, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to see it.
Would she be that sad if I died?
Mei Liangyu lifted his eyelids slightly, and Yu Sui reached out to help him remove the fallen flowers from his hair. Her sleeve slid back, revealing a section of her fair arm. Perhaps because she hadn't received her senior brother's reply for a while, she tilted her head and looked at Mei Liangyu from behind her arm.
"In short, it's not a good thing," Mei Liangyu said with a cool face.
Yu Sui hesitated and said, "If we can foresee the cause of our future death, then we can avoid it in advance, right?"
Well said.
If I see it, I can find a way to avoid it.
Unfortunately, the sacred tree seed did not give him a chance to avoid it.
Mei Liangyu said with an inscrutable expression, "Everyone will die."
After fooling Yu Sui, he stood up from the ground and looked at the sacred tree seed standing in the stream.
"You go ahead first," Mei Liangyu said brooking no refusal. "The barrier has been broken; I'll be there shortly."
Yu Sui also stood up. After hearing this, she and Xue Mushi, who had returned, looked at each other, both of them hesitant.
Mei Liangyu didn't want to explain further, and simply said expressionlessly, "Let's go."
"Then let's go take a look ahead first," Yu Sui said softly, and walked with Xue Mushi towards the front of the valley, their figures gradually disappearing into the night.
After Xue Mushi walked away, he said to Yu Sui, "Could he be planning to do something to the Divine Tree Seed? If something goes wrong with it, the Sages of the Academy will probably notice."
Yu Sui said slowly, "I'm more interested in knowing what he preordained from the divine tree seed."
“Perhaps he saw himself die,” Xue Mushi said. “In any case, we should stay away from the things of the Fang family. Although not everyone can accurately predict the future, it’s better to be safe than sorry.”
There are always higher heavens and more capable people.
Even the rarest treasures in this world are not all on the side of the destroyers.
Yu Sui left a Five Elements Light Core in the stream, and no one noticed it under the cover of the fallen flowers.
She saw Mei Liangyu stop in front of the sacred tree seed, lower his head slightly, stare at the word "death" on the seed, his gaze thoughtful and inquisitive.
Mei Liangyu was surprised that his junior sister possessed a strange fire, but after thinking about her unusual nature, he could easily accept it.
Those strange places can't necessarily be said to be related to the strange fire, but after knowing that my junior sister has a strange fire, I can understand them.
Mei Liangyu looked up and saw that Yu Sui was no longer in sight.
His junior sister is really unlucky.
Firstly, because Xirang was hunted down since childhood, and had a bad relationship with his family, even to the point of life and death, he was unable to cultivate and could only be a helpless little rabbit. His struggle before death was nothing more than frantically kicking his legs.
Having finally been able to cultivate and begin to have the ability to protect himself, and even having found a good master, he possesses a strange fire that opposes the entire world.
Her master wouldn't protect her.
Mei Liangyu was very certain.
The master seemed gentle, perhaps because he was too old and had lived for an unknown amount of time; he looked at them as if they were three-year-old children.
The elderly are always more tolerant and patient with young children.
He said he was destined to be with his junior sister, a good one, but there are many kinds of good fortune, and good fortune doesn't guarantee her survival.
Mei Liangyu never thought that his master, Chang Gen the Sage, was a soft-hearted or blindly kind person.
On the contrary, Master has always been maintaining world order. His consciousness remains in the human world to protect this land and Taiyi Academy.
The existence of the Destroyer is exactly the opposite of his ideology.
If Gao Tianhao hadn't been stopped that day, giving him time to make adequate preparations, even if he couldn't burn down the entire Taiyi with the help of others, countless people would have been burned to death, possibly from the outer city or the academy.
Mei Liangyu and Yu Sui shared the same opinion on their master's attitude.
That means the time was too short.
The master wouldn't develop such deep feelings for a disciple and protect him in every way in just a few months. What Chang Gen Saint can do now is all easy for him.
Even though my junior sister seems very likable, it's easy to have superficial goodwill, but it's not easy to get people to risk their lives for her.
Unless one has spent ten years or more with their master, like him, it is impossible to make the master waver.
For a long time, Mei Liangyu believed that he and his master were the only ones in the world, and that they were the only ones who depended on each other for survival.
It turned out that wasn't the case.
His master cares about more than just him.
If my junior sister loses even the protection of our master, then who in this world can protect her?
Was it her father, busy conquering six kingdoms, or her mother, who wanted to kill her and seize the Breath Soil? Or perhaps her useless brother, completely unaware of her situation?
She's so unlucky.
Unlucky and pitiful.
If only I could hide it forever, but it will eventually be discovered.
Thinking back to the scene of her standing on the cliff, perhaps it wasn't the first time her identity as the destroyer had been discovered; perhaps she had been hiding for a long time.
My junior sister can no longer openly walk into shops to buy her favorite clothes and jewelry.
The scene of Yu Sui standing on the cliff confronting everyone reminded Mei Liangyu of him kneeling on the rainy night street, facing killing intent from all directions. There were more people trying to kill him than Yu Sui, yet Mei Liangyu felt a strange sense of empathy.
They are all so pathetic it's infuriating.
Mei Liangyu took a deep breath. It was best not to let anyone else discover either his junior sister's strange fire or his premonition of death.
Yu Sui saw his senior brother raise his hand towards the divine tree seed through the light core monitoring. He could not sense any flow of the five elements, but the pebbles on the ground were trembling. Fallen flowers floated in the air and stopped in different directions. Golden runes flashed on the pink and white petals. In the next instant, the fallen flowers formed a barrier that trapped the divine tree seed inside, turning it into a flowering tree to hide it.
This is... Divine Calculation Technique?
Yu Sui was slightly stunned when she noticed Mei Liangyu looking in the direction of the light core. Her senior brother's obviously wary gaze made her heart skip a beat, and she immediately shattered the light core.
Before the light core shattered, an unseen force flew over; if it had been any slower, things would have been bad.
Yu Sui's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but turn around to look.
Mei Liangyu did not let go of the illusion he had just experienced, extending his power further to try and capture the fleeting Five Elements Qi, but he could not find it.
Perhaps it really is just an illusion.
Mei Liangyu withdrew his hand, gently pressed his brows, and waited quietly for a moment before leaving after confirming that everything was alright.
The Fang family's sacred tree seeds were something they wouldn't have bothered to check on if all the sacred trees in the tall tree garden hadn't withered and stopped growing.
There are many rare treasures in Dragon Throat Mountain, so it's not surprising to encounter it here.
Fortunately, the Dragon Slayer Cave is only open once a year, and very few disciples can make it to Dragon Throat Mountain.
Yu Sui and Xue Mushi waited for Mei Liangyu in front of the valley. Before Mei Liangyu arrived, they were met with a surprise attack from the evil spirits of the battle formation.
The two tacitly stepped back. Yu Sui was already familiar with the swordsmanship and speed of the demon in the battle formation, and he was able to deal with it with ease.
When Mei Liangyu arrived, he happened to see the two of them working together to kill a demon from the battle formation. The demon turned into sparks and dissipated on the ground. Only then did Yu Sui turn around and softly call out, "Senior Brother."
Listening to Yu Sui's gentle and soft words, Mei Liangyu couldn't help but think, "Junior Sister is even better at pretending than I am."
Mei Liangyu recalled that Long Zhongyu Yu Sui had rushed into her arms and cried with tears streaming down her face, saying afterwards that the thunder seal was too painful.
The lightning burn hurts too much, right?
Mei Liangyu walked towards Yu Sui, his expression unchanged, and said, "Let's go, let's continue on our way. Breaking the barrier of the divine tree seed is a shortcut, we can't waste it."
Yu Sui followed behind him, asking as she walked, "Senior brother, the divine tree seed is right there, won't its location change? If other people come, can they also borrow the divine tree seed to reserve it in advance?"
“No one is as bold as me, daring to let the divine tree seed preemptively break the barrier.” Mei Liangyu glanced at her for a moment, one eye open and the other closed.
Yu Sui asked again, "After I pass the Dragon Head, can I come back to find the Divine Tree Seed to pre-occupy it? It no longer has a barrier."
You're going to claim it?
Mei Liangyu stopped and turned to look at Yu Sui.
When Yu Sui saw him stop, she immediately stopped as well, blinking in confusion.
Xue Mushi didn't know what was going on between the two of them, so he silently waited not far behind Yu Sui.
"Junior sister, I have a question for you." Mei Liangyu looked steadily at her and asked slowly, "If I died, would you be sad?"
Yu Sui paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I will definitely be sad."
Mei Liangyu thought to herself, "You shouldn't be too sad."
But then I thought, I should only believe three-tenths of what my junior sister said, or maybe even one-tenth, but I'll still feel a little sad, right?
If you're not sad at all, I might be so angry that I crawl back from hell to live again.
"Senior brother, did you see something bad in Shenmu?" Yu Sui looked at him with a hint of worry. "Since you can foresee it, you can definitely change it. Tell me, and we'll figure something out together."
Telling you will only make you die faster.
Mei Liangyu instantly recalled Lu Haiye's death and that unlucky Wei Ren. Wei Ren was still alive, probably because he didn't witness Yu Sui's methods of killing Lu Haiye.
But it's understandable that the junior sister did all this to protect herself.
Mei Liangyu calmly withdrew his gaze, speaking casually with a clear hint of mockery, making it impossible to discern his sincerity: "You shouldn't be too sad. You cried so much when I died that I didn't even want to die anymore."
Yu Sui realized he was joking and ran a few steps to catch up with him: "Is Senior Brother really dead?"
Mei Liangyu sneered: "What do you see now?"
Yu Sui laughed and said, "I meant the future!"
"No," Mei Liangyu replied with a cold laugh. "I will not die."
