Chapter 1105: Chapter 1105 Heading to Chang Qi
"I’ll keep an eye on things for you. This old man probably acted on his own, so it’s not a big issue if you killed him."
Lily said in a calm tone as she looked at Teng Tian being scorched by the Divine Fire.
"I hope so."
Su Chengyu whispered.
Lily slightly smiled and said, "Don’t worry, whether it’s my master or the clan leader, they are very good to me."
"Being good wouldn’t turn you into such a pawn."
People like Lily have another name in Dongying, geisha.
The status of a geisha is lowly, considered the least respectable in the entire Dongying system.
Even if Lily’s situation is somewhat special, it doesn’t change her essence as a geisha.
Lily, seemingly unconcerned, said, "The Yihe Clan is not like the Koka Clan with the Emperor’s protection. In order to survive, the Yihe Clan inevitably resorts to such means. My masters have already given me a lot of leeway."
Now that he had some insight into the Destiny Dao, Su Chengyu could truly empathize with Lily’s plight, under the vast current of fate, she was merely helplessly drifting with the flow.
"You should be the one in control of your own fate."
Lily was startled and then, with a glimmer of realization, looked at Su Chengyu and said, "Thank you."
Shinazugawa Sanemi, who was nearby, watching the strange atmosphere between the two, finally couldn’t help but speak up, "Sister Lily, are you two really in that kind of relationship?"
Lily turned to look at the girl she treated like a younger sister and softly said, "Everyone is young, and accidents happen, don’t they? Sister Sanemi, you’re not also interested in this man, are you?"
"Me, interested in him? You must be joking!"
Shinazugawa Sanemi said bluntly.
Lily smiled and asked, "Then why are you so agitated?"
"I... I just don’t see what’s so great about this man!"
Shinazugawa Sanemi spoke bluntly again.
"His strength and looks? What’s not to like?"
Shinazugawa Sanemi was at a loss for words, forced to admit that in those two aspects, Su Chengyu was indeed not lacking.
"It’s his personality! This guy has a terrible personality, I really don’t understand how you could fall for him, sister."
"Really? I think Su’s personality is quite nice," Lily responded.
Shinazugawa Sanemi couldn’t help but roll her eyes, unwilling to argue any longer with Lily, who saw perfection in her lover’s eyes.
Su Chengyu, watching as Teng Tian’s breath completely vanished, packed away his storage magic artifact.
After a casual glance, mostly finding items related to ninjas, he handed them off to Lily.
"These are of little use to me, you keep them. See if it’s enough to cover the cost of the information you need," he said.
Lily took it without even looking, "That’s definitely not enough."
Su Chengyu frowned but before he could speak, Lily continued, "But that’s okay. If you really can’t pay up when the time comes, you could pay in flesh. I’m willing to accept that option."
Shinazugawa Sanemi felt a tingling on her scalp at Lily’s blunt remark; although she was from the Koka Clan, her exposure to such matters was exceedingly limited.
Su Chengyu, choosing to ignore the remark, said, "It’s getting late. I’ll be leaving now just to be safe, and Sanemi, you’d better not follow me."
Although Su Chengyu had just arrived in Dongying, he had indeed faced one problem after another.
The Yihe Clan could be managed, but the Four Major Guilds had tight relations with the Emperor, and with the involvement of the Demon Slayer Department, it was safer for Shinazugawa Sanemi not to continue following him, as it could lead to other complications.
"How will I find you afterward!"
Shinazugawa Sanemi asked hastily.
However, there was no response as Su Chengyu’s figure had already disappeared into the night.
Shinazugawa Sanemi frowned, displeased, "I told you this guy has a terrible personality, leaving just like that without any proper manners."
However, Lily shook her head, "Sanemi, have you ever thought about what you would do if someone learned about your relationship with him and forced you to contact him?"
Shinazugawa Sanemi was at a loss for words, and Lily smiled, "Not telling you is actually the best protection for you, so I say he is not bad at all."
Shinazugawa Sanemi felt more and more puzzled, "Sister Lily, why do you always speak so well of him?"
Lily’s smile widened as she looked at Shinazugawa Sanemi, "Isn’t it because your sister here lacks charm, and hopes you can keep her in Dongying?"
"Are you kidding, Sister Lily? As if your charm isn’t enough?"
Lily shook her head, looking in the direction Su Chengyu had left, "In the end, I’m just a geisha, while you are the young lady of the Shinazugawa family."
Shinazugawa Sanemi’s expression grew serious upon hearing this and thought for a moment, "He indeed has some skills, but honestly, I don’t see him being able to leave Dongying."
"And what about Ye Qingci?"
Shinazugawa Sanemi pondered, "She might be able to, but probably at a great cost."
Dongying and Xia Country have been in conflict for a century.
In that century, many talents stepped into the territory of the other, but very few were able to return alive.
If they had kept to themselves, it would have been one thing, but individuals like Su Chengyu and Ye Qingci who openly challenged the power of Dongying and still returned safely were few and far between.
Today’s Demon Slayer Officer, Master Yang Chengyin counts as one, and Su Zhedian, renowned alongside him, counts as another.
Beyond them, there were no others.
"That may not be the case. I always have a feeling they can both make it back."
Shinazugawa Sanemi sighed, "Sister Lily, you were never one to blindly trust others before."
Lily smiled silently, not intending to explain further, "Let’s just wait and see."
Having left the tavern, Su Chengyu headed straight for Chang Qi, which was the nearest place to the Yasaka Sect’s base and only a night’s journey from Su Chengyu’s location.
Even if just relying on luck, Su Chengyu still wanted to actively search for Ye Qingci’s whereabouts.
Facing the Four Major Guilds, he knew there wasn’t much he could do to help Ye Qingci.
Ye Qingci was at the Pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Realm. From the combat outcomes with the Four Major Guilds, it was impossible for someone in the early stages of the Hollow Realm to hold Ye Qingci one-on-one—she was not a match for them!
But with the Hollow Realm and Earth Immortal, a difference of one realm, it’s a world apart.
This gap in realms is as vast as the difference between a cultivator and a normal person.
Before an Earth Immortal, someone from the Hollow Realm simply would not have the possibility of a cross-tier counterkill, not even Long Xuan would be an exception.
If he truly encountered a Demon God at the Earth Immortal level, there would be no chance of survival. To avoid this scenario, the only thing Su Chengyu could do was to inform Ye Qingci of this situation.
By doing everything possible to keep her from encountering such a Demon God, he trusted Ye Qingci’s capabilities completely!
As he had just arrived in Chang Qi, Su Chengyu immediately sensed a few followers tailing him.
Without revealing his suspicions, Su Chengyu walked into a dark alley. Those few individuals, merely at the Tongxuan level, soon showed up next to Su Chengyu, surrounding him.
Observing their plain-looking outfits, Su Chengyu softly said, "Martial Artists? Oh no, they should be called Samurai here in Dongying. Are you from the Four Major Guilds, or are you from the Yihe Clan?"
