Chapter 1109: Chapter 1109: Ye Qingci’s Realization

By the time Su Chengyu opened his eyes, the sky had completely darkened, and he found himself lying in a hotel room.

He subconsciously looked around, saw Ye Qingci sitting aside with closed eyes resting, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Realizing that Su Chengyu had woken up, Ye Qingci softly said, "Awake?"

"Yes," Su Chengyu hurriedly replied, then tentatively asked, "That Heavenly Yin-Yang Master..."

"Is dead."

Ye Qingci did not beat around the bush but instead took the opportunity to ask.

"Do you know why he had to die?"

Su Chengyu, gaining some insight, said, "Aunt Ye doesn’t want anyone to notice the connection between her and me."

"Good that you understand, otherwise just for his sake, it wouldn’t be worth me using all of my strength."

In a foreign land, where danger lurked at every turn, one must never easily reveal their full hand.

This was a principle Su Chengyu understood, so obviously Ye Qingci would too.

Thus, even when facing the joint ambush set by the Four Major Guilds, Ye Qingci still held back.

However, when facing Tsuchimikado, Ye Qingci did not hold anything back.

Although unseen, this still revealed that Ye Qingci possessed the strength to kill a Heavenly Yin-Yang Master in one hit, which was without a doubt a wake-up call for the Four Major Guilds and would make Ye Qingci’s following actions even more disadvantageous.

Su Chengyu blinked guiltily, "I’m sorry Aunt Ye, I didn’t expect to attract a Heavenly Yin-Yang Master."

"Did you not expect it, or did you think you could escape?"

Su Chengyu fell silent, admitting that he had indeed been a bit lucky.

After all, he had acquired a Shadow level Escape Technique from Shinazugawa Sanemi’s hands, and as a technique of Hollowed Void Level, he really thought that even if he couldn’t win, he would have the ability to flee.

"Dao techniques, Magic Artifacts, and Cultivation Techniques are indeed all part of one’s strength, but you must understand, the Realm is the foundation of everything. You must not confuse the primary with the secondary."

"Thank you for the teaching, Aunt Ye."

"Your Dongying language is quite good, have you been here for some time?"

"I just arrived the day before yesterday."

"Why have you come?"

Su Chengyu did not conceal anything and spoke of the matter concerning the God-ranked Elixir.

Ye Qingci’s eyes furrowed with displeasure upon hearing that Su Chengyu was once again so concerned about someone else’s affairs, but this time she couldn’t be bothered to say much more.

"Actually, there might be God-ranked Elixirs in Liuli Country, I was planning to help you inquire about it when I go back."

Su Chengyu looked up and recounted everything that had happened in Liuli Country, including the fact that Long Xuan had discovered him, without any concealment.

"Knowing that Long Xuan has gone east, you still dared to come here?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingci seemed to grow even angrier for some reason.

However, Su Chengyu calmly said, "If he intends to interfere with the Long family’s matters, it’s inevitable anyway. Besides, isn’t Aunt Ye here with me?"

Ye Qingci’s brows furrowed as she gave Su Chengyu a stern look, "If he truly wanted to kill you, I may not be able to stop him."

Surprised, Su Chengyu said, "Has he become an Earth Immortal?"

Ye Qingci shook her head, "Not yet, but him leaving Mount Longhu this time is probably to seek the opportunity to ascend to immortality. And being on the same level of Hollowed Void, don’t compare those Heavenly Yin-Yang Masters from Dongying with him. These Yin-Yang Masters who are not my opponents would probably not last more than a few strikes in his hands."

"Is Long Xuan’s talent truly that terrifying?"

Ye Qingci chuckled lightly, "Otherwise, why do you think he is hailed as the once-in-generation prodigy, overshadowing two rivals?"

Su Chengyu knew that the double heroes mentioned here were his own father and Yang Chengyin, the famed duo who slew demons.

"Does Aunt Ye also think so?"

"His reputation may indeed be as you say, but I do not think he can truly surpass your father."

Ye Qingci spoke no more than necessary, not continuing any further.

However, Su Chengyu picked up on some subtleties and continued to ask, "Does Aunt Ye admire my father a lot?"

"Although your father and I are considered peers, he has always seemed more like an elder to me. When I was young and beginning my cultivation, your father helped me immensely. It could even be said that without him, I would not have reached where I am today."

Su Chengyu was surprised and said, "I thought that a genius like Aunt Ye would never have had moments of confusion on her path of cultivation."

"Haven’t you?"

Su Chengyu was rendered speechless.

Ye Qingci continued, "The cultivation technique I practice is quite unique. Aside from the advantage of being born into the Dao, the initial stages are much slower compared to ordinary cultivators. There were many who were biased against me, who looked down on me—far more than those who underestimated you. It was your father who enlightened me at that time; otherwise, I would forever remain a child without a goal."

"Then, what is Aunt Ye’s goal?"

"To be the foremost under the heavens."

"Long Xuan?"

"No, above Long Xuan."

Su Chengyu swallowed hard, and Ye Qingci, looking at him, continued, "Never regard anyone as your ultimate goal, unless you’re content to be beneath them for the rest of your life."

"Chengyu understands."

"So, I ask you, what is your goal?"

Su Chengyu looked at Ye Qingci and said, "Then I will aim to be above Aunt Ye."

Hearing this answer, Ye Qingci slightly nodded. Having this level of enlightenment made her feel that her time spent speaking with him wasn’t wasted.

Ye Qingci turned her head toward the window, then suddenly changed the subject, "Do you know why I’ve said so much to you this time?"

Su Chengyu shook his head. He could sense that Ye Qingci’s attitude toward him today was indeed different from before, but he really couldn’t guess why.

"I might not be able to return from this trip to Dongying."

Su Chengyu was startled and asked in surprise, "Aunt Ye, do you know about the existence of the Demon God behind the Four Major Guilds?"

Ye Qingci counter-asked, "Is that the reason you came to Chang Qi?"

Su Chengyu nodded.

"If you could find out about it, would I not know?"

Su Chengyu was again without a reply, his mind in disarray; after learning about the connection between the Four Major Guilds and the Demon God, he indeed hadn’t been thinking clearly.

"Is there really nothing I can do to help Aunt Ye?"

"You have already helped me. Although I don’t approve of your methods, if it hadn’t been for you acting secretly, it indeed would have been quite troublesome for me to deal with the Yasaka Sect. Besides, the reason I said I might not return is not because of this matter. I may have difficulty dealing with the Demon God, but don’t forget, my goal is only related to the Demon Monarch."

Su Chengyu listened and became even more puzzled; if Ye Qingci wasn’t referring to the Demon God hidden in the shadows, then why would she say she might not be able to return.

Just as Su Chengyu was utterly baffled, a chilling voice suddenly resonated inside the room.

"Ye Qingci, are you finished talking? Can you hand him over to me now?"

Hearing this voice, Su Chengyu’s face drastically changed, whereas Ye Qingci seemed to have long been aware of this person’s presence; she stood up calmly and said.

"I’m sorry, but after careful consideration, I still cannot hand over Su Chengyu to you."

With Splitting Heaven by her side, Ye Qingci was already prepared for battle.
