Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: I Have Two Plans

Having said those words, Lin An left the Long family without any further delay.

The royal guard followed closely behind and couldn’t help but ask, "Why does the Princess want to drag the Yang family into this mess?"

"What do you mean by dragging them into this? Yang Junmo was already in the mess; I just spoke a few truths. What’s the problem with that?"

The female guard shook her head, "Even though the Yang family has a strong foundation, this troubled water is not good to wade into. Even if the Long family restrains itself because of Yang Chengyin’s reputation, I fear Yang Junmo cannot avoid punishment."

"So what? Why should my man take the blame in front? Aren’t they brothers? Shouldn’t he share the troubles when his brother is in need?"

The female guard heard this and gave a bitter smile, shaking her head. The Princess’s reasoning was still as unreasonable as ever.

Lin An’s mind returned, and she didn’t intend to explain further. It seemed she was looking for a scapegoat, but prior to acting, Lin An had made many considerations.

The main assistants in helping Su Chengyu kill Long Li were Yang Junmo and Bei Tang Qianxiao, but why did she only mention Yang Junmo?

After all, the Yang family wasn’t worried about the Long family’s retaliation.

Although the Beitang Clan wasn’t in Capital City, if they were to face retaliation from the Long family, it would be a calamity for them as well.

Given the Beitang Clan’s usual way of doing things, they were very likely to hand over Bei Tang Qianxiao to ensure peace for the family.

Lin An couldn’t do such a thing.

On the other hand, even if Yang Chengyin could bring himself to hand over Yang Junmo, the Long family would have to think twice before daring to harm him.

After all, compared to lying on a merit list, Yang Chengyin was now the Head of the Demon Slayer Department, a position of real power that the Long family could not afford to offend.

Moreover, Yang Chengyin’s strength was unfathomable, and the Long family dared not easily provoke him.

With Lin An’s thoughts flowing, she murmured softly, "I hope this helps you somewhat."

As Lin An left the Dragon Family Ancestral Residence, Longzhan had not yet decided how to deal with Yang Junmo, and bad news ensued.

News spread by some unknown source had already filled the entire Capital City that Long Li was killed by Yang Junmo and a Loose Cultivator named Su Chengyu.

Moreover, in the tales around town, Long Li had suddenly become a villainous figure attempting murder and robbery, clearly targeting the Long family.

"Was this also Lin An’s doing?!"

Unable to contain his fury, Longzhan burst out.

The relatively calm manager shook his head, "Although Princess Lin An is quirky and proud, she seldom forms factions in Capital City; it’s very unlikely that she is behind this."

"Then who else?"

"Yang Junmo."

Longzhan was momentarily stunned, then remembered that second son of the Yang family.

Although Yang Junmo’s status was not low, his reputation in Capital City wasn’t particularly prominent—especially not compared to his elder brother, whose talents were far superior.

Plus, Yang Junmo’s casual, libertine demeanor and reputation around town didn’t leave a very high opinion of this young master from the Yang family.

"I underestimated this Yang Junmo."

Longzhan spoke through gritted teeth. He had already been pondering how to request the man from the Demon Slayer Department; now, with the tide having turned, making Yang Junmo pay a price seemed next to impossible.

"Family Head, Yang Junmo is, after all, the son of the Yang family. Even without this incident, we actually wouldn’t have had much we could do to him."

"So what do we do? Does our Long family just sit back, do nothing, and wait for death?"

The imposing air of Lin An and Yang Junmo’s manipulation of public opinion had clearly caused the Family Head of the Long family to lose his bearings somewhat.

"Family Head, please calm your anger. About this matter, this old servant has two strategies."

Longzhan’s expression slightly improved, and he looked at the old steward, asking, "Uncle Kong, go ahead."

"The first strategy is to use their plan against them, to drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf."

"How so?"

"The Yang Family lad can create momentum, putting our Long family at a disadvantage in public opinion, and our Long family can equally spread some rumors out, like how that youngster surnamed Su has obtained an Immortal Artifact in the Kunwu Realm."

"Oh?"

What the steward said brightened Longzhan’s expression: "Steward Kong, continue."

"The fact that Su Chengyu has obtained the Immortal Artifact is known by not a few. We don’t need to be the initiator, only to subtly add fuel to the fire from behind the scenes, and that will be enough for him to become the target of public arrows. During this period, the Family Head can also use the Long family’s informants to find out where the lad is. After releasing him at no cost, I believe trouble will naturally come knocking."

Longzhan nodded to himself; Su Chengyu had already agreed to come to the Capital City in two months to give the Long family an explanation, and with Feng Jie Yu behind him, it was indeed inconvenient for the Long family to take direct action. This proposal was indeed very good.

"During this process, our Long family might also be able to fish in troubled waters."

The steward paused, sensing something amiss and hesitated.

"There’s no issue. I have a plan for this matter, and it won’t expose our Long family to risk. Don’t worry too much; continue with the next strategy."

"There are mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people. According to Feng Xin Shu’s words, although this lad is only at the Golden Core stage, he already possesses the potential to compete against Nascent Soul practitioners, especially with an Immortal Artifact in hand. With Feng Jie Yu backing him, if he truly comes to the Capital City in two months, the Long family might not have any means to deal with him."

"So?"

Longzhan frowned, worried about this issue as well.

"I ask the Family Head to step in and have Young Master Long Xuan return home for a while."

"To deal with a mere Loose Cultivator, should Xuan’er be involved?"

Longzhan was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected Steward Kong to suggest Long Xuan deal with Su Chengyu.

The old steward, who had followed the Long family for many years, remained unrelaxed and seriously said, "Although this lad is a Loose Cultivator, his sudden emergence and remarkable talents have made even Princess Lin An take notice, and he is highly favored by Ms. Feng. Now that the Royal Family’s attitude is unclear, if the Long family wants to deal with this lad, we need to be fully prepared. It’s only fitting for Young Master Long Xuan, being of his generation and considering the matter with Young Master Long Li, to personally seek justice."

Longzhan sighed deeply, not because he thought the method was inadequate.

However, although Long Xuan was his son, he was well aware of his son’s temperament and character; calling him back from Mount Longhu to represent the family was easier said than done.

"Xuan’er is the hope of our Long family, and unless absolutely necessary, I do not wish to disturb Xuan’er’s cultivation in Mount Longhu. Let’s discuss this matter further."

Upon hearing Longzhan’s words, Steward Kong finally closed his mouth.

In his heart, he silently repeated the name that had recently brought so much trouble to the Long family, lost in thought.

Su Chengyu... Su Chengyu...

Over the past hundred years, have there not been too many outstanding individuals with the surname Su?

Although Steward Kong was not highly skilled in cultivation, he was one of the oldest in the Long family.

And the old, having experienced more than the young, found it difficult not to think of the two previously incomparably talented individuals with the surname Su.

He only hoped he was overthinking it.

With these final thoughts, Steward Kong stopped thinking along those lines and followed Longzhan’s command to investigate Su Chengyu’s whereabouts.
