Chapter 1019: Chapter 1019: Resentment

"I know I tend to act impulsively, and I understand Aunt Ye’s worries, but my decision to go to the Capital City with Xu Zijing was not made in the heat of the moment, and it seemed that he did not truly harbor any ill intentions toward me."

Ye Qingci’s expression was cold as she said softly, "What do you know? Xu Zijing is deep and inscrutable; even in the Demon Slayer Department, few understand what he truly thinks or cares about."

Su Chengyu thought for a moment and said, "I don’t know about other things, but I could at least see that he cares a lot about Lin An."

After Xu Zijing arrived, though he did not even greet Lin An privately, Su Chengyu noticed the tenderness and regret in Xu Zijing’s eyes when they fell on Lin An.

This look was all too familiar to Su Chengyu; he had seen it more than once on Feng Jie Yu in the Waiting for the Wind Inn.

"You still have the face to say it. It’s one thing for the Holy Maiden of the Luo Clan, but you even dare to meddle with Princess Lin An—are you not afraid of inviting trouble onto yourself?"

Upon hearing Su Chengyu mention Lin An, Ye Qingci became even more frustrated, unable to understand why Su Chengyu would get involved with Lin An, given that both of their identities were too special.

Su Chengyu said helplessly, "At first, I didn’t know, but later, even after I did, I couldn’t stop."

Ye Qingci glared at Su Chengyu, wondering how she had never noticed before that this young man was so audacious.

"You really are like your father, audacious and flirtatious by nature!"

Su Chengyu touched his nose, not daring to respond.

"Are you really going to the Capital City?"

Su Chengyu nodded, "I understand what you’re worried about, Aunt, but I also have reasons I must go."

It was not just for Lin An; he himself wanted to go to the Capital City to explore the deeds and clues his father and grandfather had left there in their time.

"I must warn you, once you’re in the Capital City, I won’t be able to meet with you like this."

Su Chengyu nodded, "I am aware of that."

Why does Ye Qingci always have to claim she’s just passing by whenever she helps Su Chengyu, insisting on acting indifferent when she clearly cares about him?

Partly it was her nature, but more importantly, it was due to her identity; she didn’t want people to think too much about Su Chengyu because of her concern for him.

In the outside world, it was already so; in the Capital City, Ye Qingci would definitely be even more cautious about maintaining her distance from Su Chengyu.

The feud between the Long family and Su Chengyu was not minor, but Ye Qingci understood that once Su Chengyu’s identity was exposed, the ensuing troubles would be even greater.

Ye Qingci looked at Su Chengyu, wanting to say more, but at that moment, two presences appeared in the hall."

"Ye Qingci, you needn’t worry overly. As long as I’m here, Yu Er is safe," said Feng Jie Yu as she appeared in the hall with Master Cangqing after finishing their discussion.

Turning around to face Feng Jie Yu, Ye Qingci bowed and said, "Su Chengyu’s reckless actions have troubled Ms. Feng."

Feng Jie Yu shook her head, looking at Su Chengyu with a sense of approval, and said.

"Don’t always treat Yu Er like a child. He has the same character as his father, and his actions are never rash. In dealing with the Long family and the Zhao Family’s people, he has already handled things quite well; you might not have done any better yourself."

Ye Qingci glanced at Su Chengyu and said softly, "If it were me, I would not have stirred up so much trouble from the start."

Feng Jie Yu chuckled, "That’s why you are you, and Yu Er is Yu Er. He might not be as careful as you, but being overly cautious is not always good. Cultivation is the same; it should not be rushed, nor should it be overly slow, lest one misses out on what is given by the heavens."

Ye Qingci listened to these words, and her heart seemed to stir, as something began to take root and grow. She quickly stood up solemnly, bowed to Feng Jie Yu, and said, "Thank you, Ms. Feng, for your guidance."

Feng Jie Yu slowly shook her head and said, "It’s not really guidance. Your Ye family does not lack for strong figures, especially your father, Ye Wujiang, who is a top contender on the heaven’s list. I have nothing to teach."

Feng Jie Yu indeed had merely spoken what she felt, and the words themselves held no power, Ye Qingci managed to gain insight mostly because of her own inherent talent.

On one side, Master Cangqing watched everything with a smile and stroked his beard, taking comfort in seeing such a talented younger generation, which meant a lot to him, who harbored aspirations for the greater world.

"Ms. Feng, Daoist Cang Qing, do you really not intend to stop Su Chengyu from going to Capital City?"

Eventually, Ye Qingci couldn’t help herself and asked the two.

After exchanging glances, it was Master Cangqing who finally spoke.

"If I had wanted to stop him, I wouldn’t have stopped you from taking action when Xu Zijing appeared."

Ye Qingci asked, "At that time, were you already considering things on Su Chengyu’s behalf, so as not to reveal his identity because of me?"

Cang Qing shook his head, "You and Ms. Feng are different. Although Ms. Feng’s temper is hard to predict, everyone knows she is a person of deep emotions and affection, and her protective nature won’t be frowned upon. However, you are usually indifferent, yet you show exceptional concern for this boy who has no relation to you. How could others not be suspicious?"

"I didn’t!"

Ye Qingci immediately frowned and argued.

A smile appeared on Master Cangqing’s face as his gaze unconsciously drifted toward Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu acted as if he heard nothing, appearing completely oblivious.

Ye Qingci, seeing the behavior of the old and the young, completely lost her temper and sighed deeply, "Well, if both Ms. Feng and Master Cangqing won’t say anything, his life or death is none of my concern. My lords, I will take my leave first."

Leaving those words behind, Ye Qingci bid farewell to the two masters and Feng Jie Yu, promptly leaving the place without even giving Su Chengyu a chance to say another word.

"Some resentment there,"

Feng Jie Yu said softly on the side.

Master Cangqing nodded in agreement, hinting with his words,

"It’s apparent. Because of someone, this young one holds a grudge against this old fellow too."

Su Chengyu said somewhat awkwardly, "Master, what you said... can Aunt really come after you to settle the score?"

However, Master Cangqing shook his head, "That’s hard to say. This aunt of yours is exceptionally gifted and is bound to reach the highest echelons of humanity sooner or later."

"That impressive? What realm is Aunt currently in?"

Su Chengyu asked in astonishment.

"Still a Nascent Soul, but owing to what Ms. Feng said earlier, the Hollow Vacuum isn’t too far away. It wouldn’t be surprising if she enters the Earth Immortal Realm within ten years."

"Five years,"

Feng Jie Yu boldly stated, leaving Su Chengyu momentarily speechless.

He thought he was exceptional enough, but then looking at Ye Qingci, it seemed like some people really outshone others.

Seeming to perceive what Su Chengyu was thinking, Master Cangqing said with a smile.

"Did Ms. Feng not just say, she is her, you are you. Don’t just focus on the path of others, seeing your own steps clearly is what truly matters."

"Master, can I reach the Earth Immortal in five years too?"

Master Cangqing gently stroked his beard, "You might as well focus on your aunt’s path, which is quite good."
