Chapter 1047: Chapter 1047: A Thousand Miles to Kill

Su Chengyu’s words left Hua Qian completely stunned in place.

She had never expected that Su Chengyu would have noticed her schemes so early on, and even more so, that he would know them so thoroughly.

Carrying a hint of fear, Hua Qian spoke hesitantly, "Since sir knew all about this, why let me follow you here?"

"You ask too many questions."

Su Chengyu said lightly.

Hua Qian’s heart tightened, and after a brief moment of hesitation, she made a decisive decision and knelt down completely in front of Su Chengyu.

Bowing to Su Chengyu with the highest rites of the ancient country of Dongying, she spoke without any further schemes or tricks.

"This servant is willing to apologize for everything I have done before. Whatever sir wishes to do to this servant, this servant will absolutely have no complaints!"

"What if I wanted you to die?"

"Then please make your move, sir!"

Su Chengyu narrowed his eyes slightly and scrutinized Hua Qian carefully.

"Are you betting?"

Knowing that it was meaningless to play tricks in front of Su Chengyu, Hua Qian candidly said.

"Yes, I know I mean nothing in sir’s eyes, but it is precisely because of that, killing me would bring no benefit to sir. As long as sir is willing to help the Dragon Carp clan of my Hua family seek revenge, I will definitely assist sir with all my strength to obtain the object of your desire!"

"No! As long as sir needs it, when the time comes, everything of the Hua family will be at your disposal!"

Whether it was power or wit, everything Su Chengyu had shown had completely subdued Hua Qian.

Although Hua Qian had already escaped from the Hua family and possessed the means to avoid their surveillance, she knew very well that with the Hua family now controlling everything on Laisong Island, she had no hope of revenge in this lifetime with her power alone.

If the man before her would assist them, the Dragon Carp clan of her Hua family would have hope for revival, and it might be the only chance for Hua Qian in her life.

"You’re smarter than I thought, but sometimes being smart is not necessarily a good thing."

Hua Qian did not dare to contradict, but instead said, "This servant’s meager cleverness is not worth mentioning before sir."

Throughout it all, Hua Qian did not stand up, burying herself firmly to the ground, as if she would never rise again unless Su Chengyu agreed.

However, Su Chengyu walked away as if she were nothing, with Yu Yanshu quietly following with her head lowered.

No sooner had Su Chengyu set up the barrier than Yu Yanshu immediately started speaking, filled with guilt.

"I’m sorry, Master, it was impulsive of me to act and save her."

Su Chengyu shook his head, "Although you appear cold, your kind heart has never been extinguished. It’s understandable that you felt compassion for her at that moment."

"But..."

"There’s no need for ’but.’ There’s nothing wrong with saving someone. It’s just that you didn’t see the true nature of the situation."

"The true nature of the situation?"

"Yes, you were born with the Primordial Eye, which allows you to see many things that ordinary people cannot. However, human hearts are complex, how could they be fully understood just by using the eyes?"

Yu Yanshu was silent, her head lowered.

Seeing Yu Yanshu like this, Su Chengyu understood that she was truly taking his words to heart.

Su Chengyu was never worried about Yu Yanshu’s cultivation talent.

Her heavenly tribulation was indeed more dangerous than the ordinary ones, and last time, it was the Heart Demon Tribulation that threatened her.

So this time, after perceiving the situation, Su Chengyu did not directly speak to her about it. Direct instruction is not as good as teaching by example, only by personal experience could Yu Yanshu grow and strengthen her heart.

Turning his head, he glanced at Hua Qian, who was still kneeling on the ground unwilling to leave, and suddenly spoke, "Is Master planning to help the Dragon Carp clan of the Hua family?"

Although Yu Yanshu’s understanding of human nature was not yet deep, she could still guess some of Su Chengyu’s thoughts.

After explaining everything to her, Su Chengyu did not kill Hua Qian right away, clearly showing he had made up his mind.

"Yes, Yamamoto Ronichiro... or should I say, Hua Yingrong, I don’t trust. Having the Dragon Carp clan of the Hua family on my side would save me a lot of trouble."

If they had told him everything from the start, Su Chengyu might have readily agreed. After all, he was open to trying out win-win collaborations.

But Hua Qian’s schemes were overly complicated. Establishing authority was extremely important to get such a person to behave.

Seeing that the time was about right, Su Chengyu released the protective barrier and came back to Hua Qian’s side.

"Hua Qian, even if I am willing to help you, aren’t you worried I’ll become a second Hua Yingrong?"

Hua Qian shook his head: "Sir is a hermit of great virtue. My Dragon Carp clan is nothing in your eyes, right?"

"You believe that just because I said so?"

Su Chengyu sneered.

"I trust you, Sir. Besides, if you really had such intentions, why would you ask me about it now? Moreover, even if I am wrong in my judgment, what can I do? Could the plight of my clan get any worse than it is now?"

He wore a self-mocking smile on his face. If there had been another choice, Hua Qian would not have been forced to make such a desperate bet.

Just as Su Chengyu was about to agree, a disturbance appeared nearby. He frowned, and Yu Yanshu also drew out the Lancang sword, ready to confront the threat.

The last to realize, Hua Qian’s face paled, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Has my Hua family found this place?"

"Don’t talk. Find a safe place to hide."

Hearing this, Hua Qian dared not ask any more questions, quickly used his Divine Skills to hide his form, and slipped into a nearby water channel.

After Hua Qian had left, Yu Yanshu spoke softly, "Are they assassins from the Hua family?"

After scanning the surroundings and judging the strength and number of the enemies, Su Chengyu’s brows furrowed, "Not necessarily."

The sudden attackers numbered four.

Three of them were Jindan Cultivators, and the leader was even a powerhouse at the Demon Emperor Stage!

Although they were outside the borders of Xia Country, Demon Emperor powerhouses were extremely rare. Even if Laisong Island had them, Su Chengyu did not think they would act rashly.

"You keep an eye on Hua Qian, I’ll handle these people."

Knowing she’d be of little help against Jindan, Yu Yanshu immediately nodded and moved away from Su Chengyu together.

Once Yu Yanshu was gone, Su Chengyu no longer had any reservations. The Dragon Slayer Sword transformed into countless sword shadows in the air and flew towards the four assailants.

While the Flying Sword trapped the three of them, the Second-Class Demon Emperor still managed to break through the sword shadows and approached Su Chengyu, launching a punch directly at him!

Bang!

Countering punch with punch, Su Chengyu and his opponent both stepped back, the Demon Emperor pushed back by Su Chengyu’s strike, but he did not look displeased. Instead, he chuckled softly.

"Worthy of being the one who benefited most from the Kunwu Realm this time, you do have some skill."

Hearing the mention of the Kunwu Realm and his own name, Su Chengyu immediately understood that the attackers had come from Xia Country.

Crossing national borders to mount an assassination, what a grand gesture!

Su Chengyu sneered and looked at the Demon Emperor, "You came from Xia Country? How did you find me?"

The Demon Emperor looked at Su Chengyu with contempt: "Hand over the Immortal Artifact, and then I will tell you."

"Wishful thinking!"
