Chapter 58 Meng Yu's Background
"Yao'er! Yao'er!" Qi Meng tapped Su Yuyao's head with a ruler.
"Hmm?" Su Yuyao opened her eyes groggily. "I... fell asleep again?"
Qi Meng patiently explained, “Meditation is about emptying your mind, not about sleeping! You need to calm your mind, focus your breath inward, observe your body, and feel the emptiness within.”
“Immortal Master, when I was meditating with Lady Qingyue, I also fell asleep like this…” Su Yuyao said innocently, “As soon as I closed my eyes, I emptied my mind, and as soon as I emptied my mind, I fell asleep…”
"Hahaha..." Qi Meng laughed and said, "No rush, take your time. Without cultivation, it will be very difficult for you to practice Qi!"
"Immortal Master, I..." Su Yuyao lowered her head and mumbled, "I don't actually need to practice..."
"By the way, how's your reading going? The books Fairy Feihua found for you are very helpful!" Qi Meng asked with a smile.
"Huh? A book..." Su Yuyao was even more troubled, because she hadn't even read a single page.
"It's okay! Take your time looking at it, and ask me if you don't understand anything!" Qi Meng was very enthusiastic.
"Okay..." Su Yuyao said awkwardly, "Then... can I go back now?"
"Go back, continue reading, and experience the wisdom of humility and tranquility!"
"Ah, I understand, I understand..." Su Yuyao struggled to get up, her legs were numb and she could no longer feel them, but she still limped out of Qi Meng's study.
"Yao'er? What happened to you?" Meng Yu appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of Su Yuyao. "You... got beaten up again?"
"No way!" Su Yuyao said, tapping her leg. "The immortal master led me in meditation just now, and I fell asleep. When I woke up, my legs were numb..."
"I'll carry you back!" Before Su Yuyao could speak, Meng Yu bent down and lifted Su Yuyao onto his back.
"Ah!" Su Yuyao was startled and grabbed Meng Yu's ear, saying, "Did I tell you to recite it?"
Meng Yu smiled slightly and said, "I advise you to hold on tighter to me, I can run fast! Hold on tight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Yu carried Su Yuyao on his back and rushed out, running through the woods.
"Ah! This is so much fun!" Su Yuyao shouted excitedly, "Run faster! Faster!"
Upon hearing Su Yuyao's words, Meng Yu ran even harder, dodging and weaving, stepping lightly, climbing up trees, and leaping down.
"Ah! Ah! Hahahaha!" Su Yuyao thoroughly enjoyed this thrilling experience she had never had before. "It's so much fun! Let's do it again!"
As Meng Yu leaped, he tossed Su Yuyao high into the air and caught her steadily.
Su Yuyao was like riding a fine horse through the woods...
Clang, clang, clang, that bell sound...?
The rhythmic ringing of the bells disturbed Xuanfeng's mind, and he searched for Su Yuyao's image in his mind...
Meng Yu carried Su Yuyao on his back and leaped onto the top of a tall tree. He then held Su Yuyao in his arms and jumped up suddenly!
"Ah!" Su Yuyao screamed and hugged Meng Yu's neck, closing her eyes.
Meng Yu flipped over, shielding Su Yuyao in front of him, and with a thud, he landed flat on his back among the fallen leaves.
Su Yuyao lay on top of Meng Yu, slowly opened her eyes, excitedly got up, straddled Meng Yu's belly, grabbed the panting Meng Yu, and shouted with a laugh, "One more time! One more time!"
Meng Yu lay on the ground, holding Su Yuyao's chubby little hand, and said with a wry smile, "I'm exhausted! Yao'er, let me rest for a while!"
Su Yuyao grabbed Meng Yu's arm and said, "Your stamina is really bad! You're tired already!"
"Yao'er! It's not that I'm weak! Do you know how heavy you are!" Meng Yu stood up slightly and said, "With you pressing down on me, I can hardly breathe!"
"Hmph!" Su Yuyao angrily rolled off Meng Yu, sat down to the side, and pouted, saying, "Even Xuan Feng didn't say I'm heavy!"
Meng Yu sat up, looked at Su Yuyao who was throwing a tantrum, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek, saying, "Yao'er, don't you think Xuan Feng is a bit too big? Haven't you known each other for a little too long?"
Hmm? Listening to Meng Yu's words, Su Yuyao suddenly remembered that Ze Yuan had asked a similar question... How big is it? How long does it last? ...
Su Yuyao suddenly realized how she had given herself away to Zeyuan!
She turned and glared at Meng Yu. "What did you say?"
"Don't you think the wind is too strong? Besides, the time is so short, you..."
"You scoundrel!" Before Meng Yu could finish speaking, Su Yuyao suddenly drew her crescent blade from her waist and slashed at him!
"Yao'er!" Meng Yu exclaimed in shock, quickly grabbing Su Yuyao's wrist and staring at the crescent-shaped blade in her hand. "Is this blade real?!"
Su Yuyao flicked her finger, and the crescent blade spun downwards, slashing towards Meng Yu's wrist!
Meng Yu quickly let go of his hand, turned over, and stood up.
Su Yuyao stared wide-eyed, gripped her crescent blade tightly, and leaped towards Meng Yu, sweeping it horizontally towards Meng Yu's chest!
Meng Yu quickly retreated, dodging Su Yuyao's knife, and shouted, "Why are you carrying a real knife?!"
Su Yuyao raised her knife and slashed at Meng Yu again, shouting, "Meng Yu! I didn't expect you to be just like Ze Yuan! Both of you are scoundrels!"
"Yao'er! Calm down! How did I become a hooligan?!" Meng Yu didn't fight back, he just dodged.
No matter how Su Yuyao slashed, she couldn't see Meng Yu. Frustrated, she raised her hand and threw her crescent blade at Meng Yu.
The crescent blade spun and cleaved horizontally toward Meng Yu's chest.
Meng Yu quickly dodged to the side, the crescent blade slicing through his shirt and embedding itself in a nearby tree trunk. Meng Yu looked at the furious Su Yuyao in astonishment—why had this brat gone so far as to kill him?!
"Yao'er! What happened?!" Meng Yu shouted.
Seeing Su Yuyao lift her skirt and run towards the crescent-shaped blade, Meng Yu couldn't take it anymore. He stretched out his palm and channeled his Qi to violently strike Su Yuyao.
Su Yuyao was angrily muttering, "You stinky Meng Yu! How dare you act like a hooligan with me? I won't... Ah!" Suddenly, a gust of air pushed her away.
"Ouch!" Su Yuyao was suddenly pushed and fell headfirst into the tree pit.
Meng Yu was also angry. While pulling Su Yuyao out of the tree pit, he scolded, "Su Yuyao! I think you really deserve a beating! How dare you bring a real knife to the academy?! And you even dare to try to kill me?!"
"I brought it a long time ago! Why didn't you care?!" Su Yuyao struggled.
"Who knew you were carrying something real?! Everyone thought you were carrying a toy!" Meng Yu checked Su Yuyao's belongings again to make sure there were no dangerous items before letting her go.
"Su Yuyao! Why did you slash me with a knife?!" Meng Yu sheathed his crescent blade and asked angrily.
Su Yuyao, holding back her tears, squatted on the ground and said, "Zeyuan also asked me if the Xuanfeng was strong and if it lasted a long time. I didn't understand at the time, so I was bullied! I didn't expect you to ask me the same question! Meng Yu! If you dare to touch me, I'll chop you up!"
Looking at Su Yuyao, who was trembling slightly, Meng Yu felt both heartache and regret.
“Yao’er,” Meng Yu said softly, “I’m sorry, that’s not what I meant. I meant that Lord Xuanfeng is very old, and you’ve only known each other for a short time. Why would you have feelings for him? You’re so young, do you even know what love is?”
“I…I don’t know,” Su Yuyao lowered her head, holding up the longevity lock on her chest, “but I know that I will be angry if he is nice to someone else; I also know that I hope he can be by my side whenever I encounter difficulties or danger; and I also know that I want to be with him forever…”
"So!" Su Yuyao raised her head and said to Meng Yu with a serious expression, "Don't even think about messing with me!"
"Oh my god!" Meng Yu said with a smile, "Yao'er, don't worry, I won't have any romantic feelings for you, because... I treat you as my little sister!"
"Bullshit!" Su Yuyao didn't believe it.
“Actually, I am from the Wuji Dao,” Meng Yu squatted down and said to Su Yuyao, “The world origin I belong to is called Changyong. A thousand years ago, the water source in Changyong suddenly became turbid. Later, people fell ill and died one after another, and everything gradually withered and rotted. My parents, as the ancestral emperors of the Changyong world origin, asked the Mother Goddess for help, but… she ordered the destruction of our Changyong! Of course, my parents disagreed. In order to protect Changyong, they fought to the death with the Mother Goddess. The result was predictable. How could we possibly defeat the Mother Goddess? In the entire Changyong, only my sister and I were left, but we both contracted the disease, and my sister did not survive…”
"Did Xuanfeng save you?"
“Yes!” Meng Yu continued, “Lord Xuanfeng brought me back here and cured my illness. After I recovered, I wanted to follow him, but he sent me to the academy instead… Yao’er, you are so much like my sister! My sister also loves to cry, loves to eat, is very willful, and always gets into trouble… but I will never see her again…”
"Oh...so, you think of me as your sister?"
"Yes! My sister passed away when she was about your age..."
"Have you said the same things to every girl?"
"What?!" Meng Yu looked at Su Yuyao, who was full of doubt, and suddenly said guiltily, "I...I think you are the most like my sister..."
"Pah! I saw right through you! You say the same things to all the girls! Otherwise, why would they all fawn over you?" Su Yuyao stood up and said to Meng Yu, "Give me back the knife!"
"No way!" Meng Yu tucked the crescent blade into his waistband, grabbed Su Yuyao's wrist, and said, "No matter what, you deserve a beating for bringing a sharp weapon into the academy without permission! You're coming with me to see the Immortal Master so he can teach you a lesson!"
"Ah?! No! No!" Su Yuyao struggled and cried, "Xuanfeng told me to bring it! Ah—! Xuanfeng told me to bring it… Ah—!"
Xuanfeng was drenched in cold sweat. That brat Meng Yu! He actually took the girl to do something so dangerous! What did he say to her?! How could he get her to use a knife?! ...
“Immortal Master… Ah—! Senior Brother Meng Yu bullied me! He… He said I looked like his sister, that’s why I used the knife…” Su Yuyao said while crying.
Meng Yu panicked and hurriedly explained, "Eh? That's not how it is! I was asking... uh..." Meng Yu suddenly realized that he couldn't say what he was asking. First, he had no right to interfere in Xuan Feng and Su Yuyao's relationship. Second, if he said it, it would bring up the matter of Su Yuyao being bullied by Ze Yuan.
"Uh... I..."
"Meng Yu! How many times have I told you to stay away from Yao'er, but you just won't listen!" Qi Meng glared at him and scolded, "If I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll never learn!"
"Wait a minute! It was Yao'er who brought the weapon! She should be punished!"
"Gong Meng! What are you waiting for?! Vine Whip!"
"Yes, Immortal Master!"
"Huh? No! No!" Meng Yu was confusedly pushed onto the bench. "Immortal Master! Immortal Master! Shouldn't you be hitting Yao'er?!"
Smack! Smack! Smack!
"Ah! Ah! Give me some face! Immortal Master... Ah!" Meng Yu howled as he was beaten.
Su Yuyao pursed her lips and looked at Meng Yu, who was crying and wailing, and felt much better.
Although Su Yuyao wasn't punished, she was still scolded. Su Yuyao obediently lowered her head and listened to the scolding. Seeing that her attitude was correct, Qi Meng returned the crescent blade to her, saying, "Yao'er, take it back and put it away. Don't carry it with you anymore!"
Su Yuyao accepted the crescent-shaped blade, respectfully curtsied, and said, "Yes, Immortal Master!"
Upon seeing this, Meng Yu shouted, "Immortal Master! Yao'er even tried to attack me with a knife! Why isn't she being punished?! Ouch! Senior Brother, be gentle!"
"You provoked her first! If you provoke Yao'er again, you'll get another beating!" Qi Meng said, then snorted and turned back to his study.
Su Yuyao glanced at Meng Yu, who was howling in pain from the beating, then squatted down in front of him with a smug look on her face, brandishing her crescent-shaped blade in front of him. "Meng Yu! I'm going back now! You can enjoy this rattan whip stir-fried meat!"
"Ah! Yao'er! Don't be too happy yet! Wait for me to start class! Ouch!" Meng Yu said, grinning.
"Senior Brother Gong Meng! Meng Yu even threatened me!" Su Yuyao stood up and complained arrogantly.
Gong Meng increased his strength, "You brat! Still not behaving yourself!"
Meng Yu's final few lashes ended tragically amidst Su Yuyao's lighthearted laughter.
He struggled to his feet from the bench, supporting his back, and looked at Su Yuyao's triumphant eyes, feeling both relieved and delighted.
Su Yuyao, are you really my sister Xiao Shi? Even the way you got me beaten up is exactly the same...
Every time he went to his parents to complain about his younger sister Xiao Shi, he would inevitably get a beating himself; every time Xiao Shi got into trouble, he, as the older brother, would be the one to get scolded; every time he disciplined Xiao Shi, his parents would punish him twice over; every time he got beaten, Xiao Shi would make a smug face at him...
Seeing Meng Yu staring blankly at her, Su Yuyao pulled up the corner of her eye, stuck out her tongue, and made a face at Meng Yu, "Hehehehe! Serves you right!"
Meng Yu frowned slightly, then smiled with red eyes...
Xuanfeng clenched his fists, frowning as he looked at Meng Yu. That brat... he's probably making up sisters again!
