Chapter 1018: Chapter 1018: Seeing Ye Qingci Again

After bidding Bei Tang Qian Xiao farewell and seeing off Yang Junmo, Su Chengyu reassured Chen Mengmeng, who felt guilty for not being able to help.

"All right, Mengmeng, it’s not that I’m being distant or don’t want your help, it’s just that the situation hasn’t become so dire that it requires you to take risks. If I were really to go to war with the Long family, would you help me?"

"Of course!"

Chen Mengmeng’s thoughts were crystal clear. Once she devoted herself to someone, she was willing to give her all, a purity of heart that Su Chengyu admitted he lacked.

"That settles it, then. Rest assured, if that day truly comes, Big Brother certainly won’t be courteous with you."

As Su Chengyu’s words fell, a voice of relief resounded beside everyone.

"Disciples of the Qingcheng Sect should indeed be so."

With the familiar voice falling, the gazes of the Qingcheng Sect members immediately turned towards the entrance.

"Master?"

"Sect Leader Master Uncle!"

Su Chengyu was just about to greet Master Cangqing when he turned his head, but in the next second, he froze, speaking in disbelief.

"Aunt Ye...? You... how did you come here?"

Master Cangqing was on his way to Kun County, which Su Chengyu knew.

After all, with the Long family’s aggressive approach, he had to prepare for the worst. Master Cangqing’s arrival could at the very least help protect the members of the Qingcheng Sect.

But Ye Qingci’s sudden appearance was completely unexpected to Su Chengyu.

"The Long family can come, the Zhao Family can come? Am I not allowed to?"

Ye Qingci’s words were as cool as ever, leaving Su Chengyu momentarily unsure how to respond.

Master Cangqing saw the quandary of his disciple and turned his head to look at Feng Jie Yu first.

"Ms. Feng, I’ve come uninvited. I apologize for disturbing your cultivation and I ask for your forgiveness."

Feng Jie Yu shook her head, speaking calmly, "Master Cangqing need not be so formal. The rules of ’awaiting the wind’ are meant for those with ulterior motives. I am not someone unreasonably rigid. Concerning Yu Er, you have taken much trouble on behalf of him."

Master Cangqing chuckled and shook his head, "My disciple who has not quite made his mark is truly the one who has caused Ms. Feng concern."

"Ye Family, Ye Qingci greets Ms. Feng."

Ye Qingci bowed respectfully in greeting to Feng Jie Yu.

Feng Jie Yu nodded, "You’re here for Yu Er as well?"

"No, just passing through Kun County."

On hearing this, Feng Jie Yu couldn’t help but lift the corners of her mouth, then looked at Su Chengyu with a silent smile.

Coincidence?

How could there be so many coincidences in the world? Besides, even if Ye Qingci truly happened to pass by Kun County,

when Xu Zijing was closing in step by step, Feng Jie Yu had also sensed Ye Qingci lurking in the shadows, ready to intervene.

But in the next moment, a powerful aura concealed her presence again, which had puzzled Feng Jie Yu earlier, but now it seemed to be Master Cangqing’s doing.

"Ms. Feng, may I have a word with you aside?"

Master Cangqing initiated the conversation, and Feng Jie Yu immediately understood his intention.

There were no private affairs between the two, and Master Cangqing’s initiative was clearly for the sake of Su Chengyu; it’s just that they did not wish Su Chengyu to overhear some matters.

After the two disappeared, Su Chengyu immediately felt the displeased gaze of Ye Qingci, his eyes somewhat evasive, inexplicably fearful of this woman.

It was unclear whether it was because of the overwhelming pressure Ye Qingci had once imposed on him or because he had inadvertently exposed their identities just now, but at this moment, Su Chengyu felt as if facing a formidable enemy.

The next second, Ye Qingci walked right up to Su Chengyu and then glanced at the Qingcheng Sect members.

While Chen Mengmeng was still puzzled, Cai Zi Feng, who had already realized what was happening, stood up promptly and led the Qingcheng Sect members out, leaving Su Chengyu and Ye Qingci alone in the hall.

"When did you become aware of my identity?"

Ye Qingci questioned with a cold gaze.

"What identity?" Su Chengyu feigned ignorance.

"To be precise, your very own identity. You just called me Aunt Ye, didn’t you?" Ye Qingci said.

Knowing that Ye Qingci was an extremely intelligent person, Su Chengyu didn’t hide anything and directly explained everything.

"So you knew everything the last time you saw me?"

Looking somewhat embarrassed, Su Chengyu could only explain, "At that time, I was still worried about getting Aunt involved because of me."

"Of course, now that your wings have hardened and your courage has grown, you have nothing to fear anymore, right?"

"No!" Su Chengyu, seeing that Ye Qingci was clearly settling scores with him, quickly denied it.

"Not? You even dared to agree to go to the Capital City, what else are you afraid of? Su Chengyu, do you even know what you’re doing!"

Ye Qingci spoke with some agitation. It was the first time Su Chengyu had seen her like this, but he also realized that she was truly angry.

However, witnessing this scene, Su Chengyu felt his fear diminish significantly and asked with a blink.

"Is Aunt worried about me?"

"Me, worried about you? Why should I worry about you? If you want to go to the Capital City to seek death, what does it have to do with me!"

Ye Qingci’s words were obviously tinged with resentment.

"Aunt still looks so, so beautiful when she’s angry."

"You’re courting death!"

Ye Qingci’s frown was tightly knitted; she didn’t understand how, at this time, Su Chengyu dared to banter with her.

Yet, faced with Ye Qingci’s sword-threatening posture, Su Chengyu no longer panicked. Instead, he spoke calmly.

"I’m not courting death; I’m just speaking my heart, just like the choice I made. It’s something I myself want to do."

Ye Qingci’s sword-lifting hand halted in an instant, fully understanding Su Chengyu’s point, but she still shook her head.

"I still don’t agree with you going to the Capital City. Not just two months from now, but within two years, before you enter the Hollow Vacuum, I don’t think it’s a wise choice for you to go to the Capital City."

"Why?"

Su Chengyu asked, not understanding.

"Because of your grandfather."

Su Chengyu paused for a moment, somewhat understanding, but he still said,

"Although the circumstances of Grandfather’s death are shrouded in mystery, I will uncover the truth one day. When that time comes, no matter who it is, I will make them pay the corresponding price."

"What if it’s Father from Lin An?"

Ye Qingci’s question left Su Chengyu frozen on the spot, not knowing how to respond.

"Senior Su’s case is one of the biggest secrets. I have been investigating secretly in the Capital City for many years without finding many clues. The absence of clues is in itself a clue—do you understand what that means?"

Su Chengyu nodded heavily; he had long harbored such suspicions.

His grandfather was also a person who followed the Grand Ancestor to conquer lands; if he was to disappear without a trace in Xia Country, it would be impossible to escape the eyes of the Zhao Family. In fact, it was very likely that the Zhao Family orchestrated it all in the shadows.

"I understand, I have always known."

Su Chengyu was always clear that if things were indeed so, once his identity was exposed, what he would face would no longer be the Long family or the Zhao Family; his enemy would be the entire Xia Country!

Upon hearing Su Chengyu’s words, Ye Qingci frowned slightly, "Knowing this, you still agreed to go to the Capital City?"

Su Chengyu smiled, "It’s either a blessing or a curse that cannot be avoided. To get to the bottom of what happened to Grandfather, I have to go through the Capital City eventually. If the royal family is indeed behind it all, becoming the target of the entire Xia Country is just a matter of sooner or later, right?"

"Do you really understand? If you’re discovered in the Capital City now as a member of the Su family, with your current strength, the Zhao Family will surely not let you leave the Capital City!"

"Then I just won’t let them find out. Haven’t you been staying in the Capital City all these years, secretly investigating without anyone noticing?"

"I..."

Ye Qingci was momentarily stunned, indeed not expecting Su Chengyu to bring the conversation around to her.
