Chapter 1027: Chapter 1027: Things Remain the Same, But People Change

Leaving the Dragon Soul Department, all the members of the Si Masters saw him, but nobody dared to speak up and say a word against him.

They all had witnessed the powers displayed by Su Chengyu and had grasped a certain understanding of his sudden appearance.

Su Chengyu, even though he wasn’t in Lin Jiang, everyone knew his name by now, especially since he had just returned.

Only when Su Chengyu had completely left the Dragon Soul Department did whispers start to circulate.

"This guy is so reckless, does he really not regard the royal law at all?"

"Royal law? In today’s Lin Jiang, can’t you see what constitutes royal law?"

A clear-headed person instantly clarified the current situation of Lin Jiang with a single sentence.

Underground, needless to say, even Stone Sword Edge was looking up to Su Chengyu openly, Lin Jiang had long been entirely under this man’s control.

Once, Su Chengyu thought so too, but he had never expected that the opponent would target Liu Yan.

Su Chengyu’s visit was not just out of anger, but also thick self-reproach towards himself.

At this moment, he realized that he had not only been negligent, but he had also been too kind to those close to him, which was why he had come to the Dragon Soul Department and created a thunderous scene.

His words earlier weren’t an exaggeration; this was his final chance for Stone Sword Edge. If even this trivial matter couldn’t be handled, Su Chengyu would not mind having someone else take over the position of Grand Marshal of the Lin Jiang Dragon Soul Department.

"Go... to the bar."

Lin Huanfeng nodded, then personally went ahead to drive, leaving space for Su Chengyu and the other two.

Looking at the worried Su Chengyu, Lin Chuxue came forward and gently massaged his temples, soothingly saying,

"ChengYu, don’t rush, I know you’re angry because of this incident, but you don’t need to be so impetuous."

Su Chengyu shook his head, "Don’t worry, I am calm. This forceful visit to the Dragon Soul Department was firstly to set a stance for Stone Sword Edge, to prevent this guy from holding that position and doing nothing. Secondly, I indeed have some doubts about him."

Su Chengyu is actually Su Cheng, a fact known by very few.

Seeing that on the records, the other party was from the Black Dragon Commerce Association, Su Chengyu couldn’t help but suspect this Stone Sword Edge, with whom he had only a cooperative relationship.

After all, from any angle, he was the most likely one to betray him.

And if that were the case, Liu Yan’s mishap would mean that Stone Sword Edge should bear a great deal of responsibility.

If he weren’t calm enough, he would have immediately killed Stone Sword Edge on the spot with the thought of better killing wrong than letting go.

Consequences? Aftermath?

He had even killed Long Li; would he fear killing the Grand Marshal of the Lin Jiang Dragon Soul Department in Lin Jiang, on his own turf?

"Master, that person indeed didn’t seem to be lying."

Yu Yanshu spoke up from the side, even without using the Primordial Eye’s Divine Skills, she could still vaguely perceive things that others might miss,

such as, human hearts.

"Let’s hope so."

Su Chengyu narrowed his eyes and said no more; as long as Stone Sword Edge could prove his innocence, Su Chengyu wouldn’t hesitate to treat him generously at that time.

At the very least, he would help him to break through his bottleneck and enter the Realm of Great Grandmaster.

It was compensation as well as a prevention measure; as of now, Stone Sword Edge’s capabilities were no longer enough to make Su Chengyu feel secure about letting him oversee the Lin Jiang Dragon Soul Department.

Arriving at the familiar bar, it had already lost its glory of the past days.

The lights outside were still the same, but the scenes of long queues had long since disappeared.

After Liu Yan’s accident, Su Chengyu’s absence from Lin Jiang seemed to have spread throughout Lin Jiang overnight.

In the past, those "friends" of Liu Yan and regulars at the bar had vanished in an instant, with no one wishing to get involved in this troubled place.

When the bar had just reopened, some used to come seeking trouble, yet after a while, even they seemed to lose interest and it faded into obscurity.

Everything in the bar looked familiar, but now, it made Su Chengyu feel somewhat alienated.

"The staff has decreased significantly as well."

Lin Chuxue, who also felt the changes in the bar, couldn’t help but speak up.

"After that incident, this place became thoroughly notorious; staying here, no one knows what trouble might arise, so it’s quite normal for them to leave."

Even without customers, money was surely not an issue; the departure of staff was purely voluntary.

Su Chengyu understood in his heart; though he was angry about Liu Yan’s situation, he wasn’t ready to blame those ordinary people and had no thoughts of holding them accountable.

"Brother Yu? Is that you, Brother Yu?"

Just as Su Chengyu was thinking this, a familiar voice came from the other side of the bar.

Su Chengyu looked at the familiar face with some surprise and said, "Mi Feifei?"

"It’s me! It really is Brother Yu! Brother Yu, you still remember me!"

Mi Feifei appeared somewhat excited, momentarily at a loss what to do with her hands and feet.

Su Chengyu smiled lightly and said, "Of course I remember; last time you were just a regular waitress, and now you’ve become a bartender."

Upon hearing this, Mi Feifei blushed and sheepishly said, "The bar is short-staffed now, so I had to step up, but there aren’t many customers, so my skills are still rusty, nowhere near Brother Yu’s level."

Su Chengyu smiled and spoke softly, "I’m relieved that you’re here."

Mi Feifei was taken aback, then quickly said, "Of course I won’t leave! Brother Yu, you helped me so much back then, how could I possibly abandon Sister Liu Yan on her own!"

Upon hearing Liu Yan’s name, Su Chengyu’s expression immediately darkened, and he spoke quietly, "Where is Liu Yan now?"

Mi Feifei looked up at the ceiling and said, "The private room on the second floor; Sister Liu locks herself there alone every night until closing."

Su Chengyu nodded, told Lin Chuxue and Yu Yanshu to stay there, and then went to see Liu Yan alone.

At the door, Su Chengyu took a deep breath before slowly pushing open the door of the private room.

The moment the door opened, the sharp scent of alcohol assaulted his nostrils.

At that moment, Liu Yan was sprawled on the sofa, one hand dangling a bottle of alcohol near the floor, and the other arm across her head, covering her eyes and most of her face.

"Feifei? Didn’t I tell you to come back with more drinks in half an hour? Why did you come back so soon?"

Liu Yan’s words were slurred and drunk, and she spoke casually without even glancing this way.

Seeing Liu Yan in such a state for the first time, Su Chengyu felt a pang of heartache, but he calmly approached, sat beside her, and then suddenly grasped her hand.

The moment he touched her hand, Su Chengyu felt Liu Yan’s hand tremble. Realizing something, Liu Yan abruptly sat up from the sofa, sized up the visitor, then immediately curled up, hands covering her face in panic and exclaimed,

"Su Chengyu? When did you return? Get out! Don’t look at me!"

Liu Yan’s panicky voice then searched through her fingers for her usual veil, clearly not wanting to reveal her current state directly to Su Chengyu.

Seeing Liu Yan like a frightened bird, Su Chengyu felt an immense ache and immediately hugged the startled Liu Yan.

Initially, Liu Yan tried to resist, but she soon collapsed into Su Chengyu’s tender yet firm embrace.

Burying her head in Su Chengyu’s chest, tears streamed down as she sobbed,

"Su Chengyu, you jerk, you knew to come back."
