Chapter 1096: Chapter 1096: Make a Friend

Su Chengyu’s words left everyone rooted to the spot, and even the masked man, who had been prepared for Su Chengyu’s fury, couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

Su Chengyu gave him a cold look, "You don’t want to leave? Do you really want me to kill you?"

The masked man froze, then struggled to get up from the ground, glanced at Shinazugawa Sanemi as he bowed in apology, and then swiftly left the place, with the rest of the lower ninjas quickly disappearing inside the bar.

Shinazugawa Sanemi looked at Su Chengyu with some confusion, unable to understand why Su Chengyu, who seemed hard to negotiate with, had suddenly decided to let people go.

Could it be because of the collaboration with the Koka Clan?

"Don’t overthink it; I simply realized that it was just a personal vendetta, so I lost interest in killing him."

"Personal vendetta? Did you know the junior before?" Shinazugawa Sanemi was even more puzzled.

Su Chengyu shook his head, "Today was the first time we met."

"Then what vendetta does he have with you, to the extent of seeking a life-and-death confrontation?"

Without answering, Su Chengyu just looked at Shinazugawa Sanemi, even though he had already seen her true face that night.

But since the situation was urgent at the time, Su Chengyu hadn’t really taken a good look at Shinazugawa Sanemi’s features, and now he found that this noble-born female ninja did indeed look quite attractive.

Though not stunningly beautiful, her curved figure paired with her doll-like delicate face indeed presented a strong contrast.

Feeling Su Chengyu’s gaze, Shinazugawa Sanemi instantly frowned, "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing much, I just understand now why that guy would take a liking to you."

Shinazugawa Sanemi, with her refreshing and vivid appearance, is indeed the type to evoke feelings in those inexperienced in the ways of the world.

"What did you say?" Shinazugawa Sanemi glared at him with wide eyes.

Su Chengyu couldn’t help but smile, "You wouldn’t know, would you? Your junior has a thing for you."

"What? Are you joking, how could my junior possibly like me?"

Shinazugawa Sanemi stood frozen in place, her small cherry lips parted in disbelief.

"Why couldn’t it be possible? Can members of the Demon Clan not fall in love? Isn’t interspecies love something common around the Dongying Sea?"

Shinazugawa Sanemi was suddenly speechless, unable to rebut, and seemed to realize something as she spoke, "Do you think the junior attacked you because of this?"

Su Chengyu nodded, though it was just a fleeting expression, the junior did not hide it well.

Shinazugawa Sanemi, obviously lacking in romantic experience, wouldn’t notice it, but it was impossible to escape Su Chengyu’s eyes.

He was almost certain that the junior’s reckless probing and subsequent attack on him were for Shinazugawa Sanemi.

"That idiot, he’s from the Koka Clan, there’s just no way he and I could happen."

"Maybe he just doesn’t want me and you to be a possibility."

Shinazugawa Sanemi instinctively stepped back, defensively wrapping her arms around her upper body, as Su Chengyu gave her a glance, "Relax, I’m not interested in you, otherwise why would I let him go?"

By letting go of that member of the Demon Clan, Su Chengyu couldn’t guarantee there wouldn’t be further trouble, but to ruin his deal with the Koka Clan over such a matter was truly not worth it.

God-ranked elixirs were of great importance to him at the moment.

In Su Chengyu’s mind, the priority of his mission in Dongying to rescue Yu Yanshu was even higher than advancing his own Nascent Soul.

And Su Chengyu’s flawless rebuttal made Shinazugawa Sanemi feel even more confused.

She didn’t like Su Chengyu and felt somewhat repulsed by his dominance in their previous encounters.

But as a woman, being told outright that someone had no interest in her was an insult in itself.

"People like you definitely aren’t favored by girls."

"As long as you’re happy."

Su Chengyu smiled slightly, not wanting to explain anything.

Shinazugawa Sanemi rolled his eyes and changed the topic, "Why did it take so long?"

"It’s none of your business, and besides, haven’t you also failed to prepare for a direct trade?"

Shinazugawa Sanemi was at a loss for words but couldn’t explain anything.

God-ranked Elixirs are so precious, managing to finalize this matter within ten days had already been the result of his grandfather’s decision against opposition.

After all, his grandfather was not the only Shadow-rank Ninja in the Koka Clan, and the only person who could dominate the clan with a single word had always been one person.

The current Emperor.

"Is Shinazugawa Tengen confirmed to arrive the day after tomorrow?"

Shinazugawa Tengen, the current Family Head of the Shinazugawa family, was also the pillar of the Koka Clan today.

"Yes, have you prepared those two items?"

"They’re not on me, but I’ll have them ready by then."

Though Su Chengyu didn’t believe Shinazugawa Sanemi was very cunning, he still kept a card up his sleeve.

As expected, Shinazugawa Sanemi didn’t mind at all and walked over to a nearby pub to fetch a bottle of shochu, casually asking, "Drink some?"

"No, thanks."

"Scared of death?"

"It tastes awful."

Shinazugawa Sanemi, his brows furrowed, looked at the man he couldn’t fathom and finally burst out, "What’s your deal! You’re impervious to anything, we’ve shared hardships together, and now we’ve got a trade deal, can’t we be friends?"

"Of course, that’s why I’m still here."

Confused, Shinazugawa Sanemi gazed at Su Chengyu who blinked and continued to speak.

"I’d like some information, name your price, just don’t go overboard, I will pay."

Being friends was fine, but drinking was out of the question; he didn’t like the shochu from Dongying.

However, seeing Shinazugawa Sanemi hesitating, Su Chengyu continued, "What, you can’t help with this as a friend? Don’t tell me, the Koka Clan can’t investigate matters in Dongying."

Shinazugawa Sanemi sighed and said, "Of course not, it’s just that our Koka Clan reports directly to the Emperor. Our status is more special than that of the four major Shrines, and the information cannot be leaked."

After all, the intelligence files of the Koka Clan involved too many secrets about the Emperor’s family.

Once started, there was no guaranteeing what it could lead to.

"That truly is unfortunate; I was saying we could be friends."

Su Chengyu spoke as if regretful, and Shinazugawa Sanemi, unable to restrain himself, said, "Even if I can’t give you information, I can still introduce you to someone. Come with me."

Shinazugawa Sanemi slightly altered his appearance, then walked out of the pub.

Su Chengyu followed closely behind, and upon seeing Shinazugawa Sanemi leading him elsewhere, he suddenly asked, "Going to the Yihe Clan?"

"You talk too much!"

Shinazugawa Sanemi, having had his thoughts guessed again, couldn’t help but curse; he just didn’t understand why everything he thought was predictable to this man?

Were his actions really that transparent?

"No, you are not transparent. You’re foolish."
