Chapter 1017: Chapter 1017: Return to Qingcheng

"I only realized it at the very end."

Su Chengyu’s expression was somewhat dim. If he had seen through Xu Zijing’s true intentions earlier, he wouldn’t have let the other party be so troubled.

"Aunt Feng, is her master also a friend of yours?"

Feng Jie Yu shook her head, "We’ve only met a few times, not even enough to really know each other."

"Then why would Xu Zijing help me like this?"

"Have you ever thought that maybe he’s not helping you, but helping Lin An instead?"

But Su Chengyu shook his head, "There are many ways to stabilize Lin An, and he didn’t need to beat around the bush. For instance, in the beginning, he could have said nothing and just left. Once Lin An returns to the Capital City and watches my grudge with the Long family grow, it would naturally become impossible for Lin An and me to be together openly."

This was also the biggest reason Su Chengyu felt that Xu Zijing had taken initiative to advise him. However, why Xu Zijing would do such a thing was something that Su Chengyu couldn’t quite understand.

As for Su Chengyu’s judgment, Feng Jie Yu didn’t say much, but she still didn’t think that everything Xu Zijing did was to allow the two of them to be together.

"It doesn’t matter anymore, but what he said is all true. If you want to be with Lin An, the only way is to go to the Capital City to solve this trouble."

Feng Jie Yu had seen through this point long ago, which is why she didn’t stop Xu Zijing’s actions.

Although she didn’t want Su Chengyu to risk going to the Capital City, when it came to matters of the heart, she preferred that Su Chengyu make his own choices.

"Aunt Feng, what kind of person is Zhao Xuanzhen?"

"A meticulous thinker with an extremely strong possessiveness, winning his approval is definitely not easy."

"Does he want to kill me?"

"With me here, he can’t kill you."

Feng Jie Yu spoke with conviction; although she had acquiesced to Su Chengyu’s journey to the Capital City, it didn’t mean she had changed her mind.

Su Chengyu smiled faintly, "Thank you, Aunt Feng."

Feng Jie Yu shook her head, "No need to thank me. What that Xu kid said is right, I can only ensure your safety. I can help deepen the grudge against the Long family, but I can’t help resolve it. What do you plan to do?"

Su Chengyu, who already had an answer in his heart, smiled and said, "Xu Zijing has already told me the ’rules’."

This time, even Feng Jie Yu frowned, puzzled.

"Without rules, there is no circle to be drawn. The Long family may linger on the edge of the rules, but they also can’t completely step out of them. In Lin An, they have to follow Aunt Feng’s rules, and in the Capital City, there must also be the rules of the Capital City. Xu Zijing reminded me of this at the beginning, making me realize that going to the Capital City is not necessarily a suicidal mission."

Listening to Su Chengyu’s explanation, Feng Jie Yu pressed her temples.

"How much roundabout talk does that guy have, it’s truly annoying."

She had detected from the start that Xu Zijing was such a character, which is why she directly stated her stance and attitude, not wanting to engage in endless intrigue with the guy. But then he turned his focus to Su Chengyu.

Fortunately, Su Chengyu was shrewd; he had parried all the hidden meanings in Xu Zijing’s words.

"You can ponder these things yourself. Just go ahead with your plans, and if anything happens, Aunt Feng will back you up."

With those words from Feng Jie Yu, Su Chengyu was completely reassured.

"Big brother, is there anything we can help with?"

The members of the Qingcheng Sect had been watching everything unfold from the arrival of Feng Jie Yu, and it was only at the end that they found an opportunity to speak.

For one, with Feng Jie Yu there, there was no need for them to overstep. Moreover, with their identities and strength, they really couldn’t say much in the situation that had just unfolded.

Su Chengyu looked at Chen Mengmeng and shook his head with a smile, "There’s nothing you need to help with. You’d better hurry back to Mount Qingcheng and digest the gains you’ve made in the Kunwu Realm; improving your strength is the quickest way you can help me."

Su Chengyu’s words were addressed not only to Chen Mengmeng but also to Bai Ling Shan, whose eyes were shifting to the side.

Cai Zi Feng nodded in agreement, "Brother Su is right, we can’t offer much help. The pressing matter now is to return to Mount Qingcheng. Ensuring that Brother Su doesn’t have to worry about us is the best we can do."

"Then I won’t stay any longer. I’m heading back to the Capital City."

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Yang Junmo began to speak, Su Chengyu promptly called out to him, "After you go back to the Capital City, could you do me a few favors? Keep an eye on the movements of the Long family for me, and while you’re at it, organize some information on the people of the Capital City for me."

"Come on, why is it always me? Why don’t you ask Lin An to do this? Wouldn’t she be much more convenient than me? You can’t keep shearing a sheep and expecting me to be that sheep every time!"

Su Chengyu shook his head, "Lin An is not convenient. Let’s not even mention the Long family, even the Zhao Family is likely to be watching her. Any attempt she makes to help me would probably backfire and put her in an even more difficult position. Brother, I can only rely on you."

"Damn, how come I ended up knowing a brother like you?"

Bei Tang Qian Xiao, standing to the side, looked at Yang Junmo with a cold gaze, "Don’t forget that you also took part in killing Long Xuan."

Although the Long family seemed to be putting all the blame on Su Chengyu at the moment, everyone present understood that Long Xuan had not died by his hand alone.

"If they know I’m helping him, the Long family will surely seek revenge on me too!"

Yang Junmo’s face still wore an expression of disdain, but Su Chengyu, who had long been familiar with him, just smiled and asked, "So, will you help or not?"

"Isn’t that an idiotic question? If you can’t hold up and end up giving me away to the Long family, I’ll still be in trouble either way."

Su Chengyu couldn’t help but chuckle, "The toughest thing on you must be that mouth of yours.

"Slander! The toughest part of me is definitely..."

Mid-sentence, a chilling intent struck from behind, causing Yang Junmo to instantly shut his mouth.

Damn, I forgot there’s a Land Immortal beside us.

Feeling as if he had just walked the line between life and death, Yang Junmo made faces at Su Chengyu, evidently adding this to his list of grievances against him.

In contrast to Yang Junmo’s twisting and turning, Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s attitude stood as a complete opposite nearby.

She stepped forward eagerly, "I’ll do my best to speak for you after I return to the Beitang Family, but given the number of people you’ve offended, the Beitang Clan might not be able to offer much help for the sake of being prudent. I hope you can understand."

Su Chengyu shook his head with a smile, "It’s alright, it’s the thought that counts. I’d rather wade through these murky waters alone, and I don’t wish to involve others. Just relay a message to your cousin Bei Tang Qimeng for me, tell her that I will settle the scores from that day with her."

Bei Tang Qian Xiao was aware of the incident where Su Chengyu was nearly killed by Bei Tang Qimeng, and naturally, she couldn’t mediate in this matter.

"By the way, your cultivation of the Thunder Resistant Body requires the aid of divine thunder. When you have the time, come find me; my Shen Xiao Sky Thunder can help you."

Bei Tang Qian Xiao silently decided that once she returned to her family, she would do her utmost to help, even if it was just providing some intelligence or strength.
