Chapter 1136: Chapter 1136: The Location of the Treasure
Bai Huang, upon hearing the two converse, said nothing and merely sat to the side, studying the two Cultivation Techniques Su Chengyu had tossed to him.
Su Chengyu smiled silently, knowing that this fellow truly wished to surpass Yu Yanshu.
His gaze subconsciously drifted towards Yu Yanshu, but Su Chengyu remained silent.
After all, Yu Yanshu currently did lag behind Bai Huang in terms of Realm; if Bai Huang could quickly master his combat techniques and then acquire a suitable Magic Artifact, he indeed stood a chance.
However, Yu Yanshu was not one to stand still; in Su Chengyu’s knowledge, her speed of Cultivation was unparalleled.
This goal was far from as easy as it seemed.
Of course, Su Chengyu did not share these discouraging thoughts with Bai Huang, but instead clarified the unclear parts of the Cultivation Techniques for him.
Once assured that Bai Huang was on the right track, he confidently allowed him to comprehend on his own.
The master leads the way to the gate; Cultivation is up to the individual. Whether Bai Huang could bear the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Qingqiu Fox Clan ultimately depended on him alone.
"That’s the right approach. After I leave, the He Mao Clan might come looking for you, but you needn’t worry about gathering intelligence for me. Your identity is sensitive, and while most people may not know, being closely associated with me can easily lead to misunderstandings," Su Chengyu told him.
Bai Huang immediately shook his head and said, "It’s fine. The main house only knows that our branch of the Fox Clan isn’t native to Dongying; they are unaware of our specific circumstances. In JinPing, it’s not uncommon for Demon Clans with unclear origins like ours."
Su Chengyu nodded and continued to inquire, "By the way, what Realm was the Fox Clan elder who led you out of Qingqiu?"
"A Demon Monarch."
"A Demon Monarch?"
Su Chengyu was slightly startled.
He had originally thought that the Qingqiu Fox Clan elder being a Demon Emperor was the limit; he never expected a Demon Monarch to choose to serve others.
But soon, Su Chengyu understood why—it was ultimately to evade the pursuit of the Demon Slayer Department.
If Ye Qingci, as a Demon Monarch, had to travel across the seas to Dongying, then the Qingqiu Fox Clan associated with her would likely face a similar fate if discovered by the Demon Slayer Department.
Looking at the current state of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, Su Chengyu felt a tinge of sorrow.
An esteemed Demon Monarch set aside their dignity and lost their life in the hope of finding a way out for the Qingqiu Fox Clan, only to leave Bai Huang as the sole survivor in the end.
"I will do what I can to investigate the matters of your predecessor; no matter the outcome, I will give you an answer," he assured.
Bai Huang nodded emphatically, having finally let his guard down around Su Chengyu, a person of the same bloodline. After some thought, he posed a question with a hint of confusion.
"Teacher, what exactly brought you to JinPing?"
"Looking for something."
Su Chengyu did not hide the truth; now that Bai Huang’s identity was confirmed, there was no need to withhold such minor details from him.
Bai Huang blinked and asked, "Can I help you with that?"
After Su Chengyu revealed his identity, his care for Bai Huang was evident in his every action, which Bai Huang saw and remembered, hence his desire to help Su Chengyu in kind.
Su Chengyu smiled and said, "Don’t overthink it. If I need your help, I will certainly ask for it, but for now, there’s nothing you can do."
Prior to his arrival, Su Chengyu had decided if Bai Huang were merely an ordinary member of the Demon Clan, he was certainly willing to tempt him with great rewards. Despite his lower strength, being part of the He Mao Clan, Bai Huang could facilitate many conveniences for him.
But now that Bai Huang’s identity as a member of the Qingqiu Fox Clan was confirmed, Su Chengyu naturally would not risk letting him face danger.
Not to mention that Su Chengyu wanted him to take a trip back to Qingqiu with him, just the fact that he might be the last pure-blooded member of the Qingqiu Fox Clan meant Su Chengyu wouldn’t let him fall into danger.
Hearing what Su Chengyu had said, Bai Huang clearly felt somewhat reluctant, but after pondering for a moment, he spoke, "Although I don’t know what you’re looking for, I indeed know of a place where the main family conceals their treasures."
"Hmm?"
Su Chengyu turned his head in surprise; he hadn’t expected Bai Huang to actually have a lead.
Without speaking, Bai Huang took out a delicate fox tail pendant from his chest. The pendant was imbued with dense spiritual energy, clearly a magic artifact of Lower Quality Divine Artifact level, and it appeared to be only half of a set.
"The Yin-Yang Mother and Child Pendant?"
Bai Huang nodded and said, "This jade pendant was given to me by my grandfather before he left. It’s the Yin Pendant of the Yin-Yang set, and the Yang Pendant was originally on my grandfather. After my grandfather’s death, the Yang Pendant fell into the hands of the main family and was stored in their Treasure Trove."
Su Chengyu’s eyes lit up as he immediately understood Bai Huang’s implication.
The Yin-Yang Mother and Child Pendant was a set of magic artifacts that were born of each other and attracted to each other; their connection was far more intimate than that of the Emperor’s Six Treasures, which were from the same source.
"Can you locate the He Mao Family’s Treasure Trove using this jade pendant?"
Bai Huang nodded, "All these years I’ve been wanting to retrieve my grandfather’s pendant and have been searching for it in the dark, narrowing it down to a certain area. However, that place is within JinPing’s internal realm, so, since you are an outsider, going there would likely result in immediate detection."
"An outsider?" Su Chengyu blinked, then pulled out the Mo Cui given to him by Kuronagi, "Is it because of this?"
Bai Huang nodded, "This piece of Mo Cui marked by Kuronagi, although it identifies you as an honored guest, you’re still considered an outsider and therefore can’t step into that area."
After thinking for a moment, Su Chengyu said, "I’ll handle this matter. I’ll come to find you again tonight; don’t go anywhere during this time to avoid any complications."
"I understand."
Bai Huang didn’t ask how Su Chengyu planned to do it but simply nodded in agreement.
Having laid down this promise, Su Chengyu quickly returned to his residence with Yu Yanshu. Kuronagi had not returned yet, who seemed to have faced censure from the He Mao main house because of this incident.
As for that, Su Chengyu wasn’t surprised. Being the security in charge for the He Mao family in JinPing, Kuronagi indeed had grown a bit too close to himself.
Without confirming his background first, the He Mao Clan naturally would not allow him to get so close to Su Cheng.
Even if the He Mao Clan really reached an agreement with him, representing the Hua family, they probably wouldn’t be pleased to see Kuronagi and himself so closely allied.
After contemplating, Su Chengyu decided to make one final hefty investment.
As the night fell, the sounds of Kuronagi rushing over awakened the resting Su Chengyu, whose eyes snapped open. Yu Yanshu voluntarily retreated, while Su Chengyu took the initiative to open the door and wait for Kuronagi’s arrival.
The moment Kuronagi entered and saw Su Chengyu, his face was fraught with worry; however, before he could speak, Su Chengyu pushed a large bottle of elixirs in front of him.
"Brother Kuronagi, you were troubled because of today’s affair; this is a small token of my appreciation," said Su Chengyu.
Kuronagi was stunned and about to speak when Su Chengyu interjected, "These two hundred top-grade Heavenly Pills are worth far more than two hundred Mermaid Tear Pearls. Brother Kuronagi, please don’t disdain them. If you don’t accept, I won’t feel at ease."
"Two hundred?!"
Kuronagi, who had intended to refuse, couldn’t believe his ears when he heard the staggering quantity and stared incredulously at Su Chengyu.
In that moment, he finally realized just how lavish the wealthy man before him truly was.
Swallowing hard, Kuronagi looked at the medicine bottle in front of him and ultimately couldn’t utter a word of refusal, his hand slowly reaching out...
