Chapter 1219: Chapter 1219: Beneath Jinglong There is Lone Star

"Oh, by the way, do you know Yang Jun Mo?"

Su Chengyu, walking ahead, suddenly turned and asked Zhuang Yihan.

Zhuang Yihan paused as he thought of some rumors from the Capital City, then nodded and said, "I know him, although he’s not part of the Dragon Soul Department, his status means he has good relations with quite a few people inside."

"Are you one of them?"

"No."

Zhuang Yihan replied straightforwardly.

Su Chengyu nodded, "That’s right, otherwise the person sent to capture me wouldn’t be you."

Zhuang Yihan silently looked at the warrant in his hand, "Was it really not you who killed Xu Jianglong?"

"To kill a Xu Jianglong, would I need to disavow the connection?"

This remark left Zhuang Yihan stunned in place.

Indeed, this guy in front of him, whether it’s the matter of killing Long Li from the Long family or the secretive news of his relationship with Princess Lin An, was much more serious than this.

In the end, this arrest warrant was nothing more than a pretext, a convenient reason for the Dragon Soul Department to restrain Su Chengyu. Whether it was actually Su Chengyu’s doing or not, did it really matter?

It truly didn’t matter anymore.

A Loose Cultivator with Nascent Soul strength killing a Xu Jianglong — even if it were true, the Dragon Soul Department wouldn’t really want Su Chengyu’s life, unless Su Chengyu refused to submit.

But since he was willing to return to Xia Country, it was clear he had no intention of becoming an archenemy with Xia Country.

"Watch out for yourself, even if you really are Yang Jun Mo’s friend, he can’t help you much with the Long family’s affairs. Another thing..."

Zhuang Yihan was not yet finished speaking when Su Chengyu suddenly cut him off, chuckled, and said, "You seem quite concerned about me, are you sure you’re not Yang Jun Mo’s friend?"

Zhuang Yihan shook his head, "No, I’m not really acquainted with Yang Jun Mo, but..."

"Hmm?"

Zhuang Yihan suddenly changed his expression and asked Su Chengyu, "Do you know Ye Qingci?"

Su Chengyu looked surprised at Zhuang Yihan and then softly said, "I had some interactions with her in Dongying, she has helped me a lot."

"Was it really you who killed the Ping Shan Demon?"

Su Chengyu was surprised, not expecting that the news had reached here so quickly, but he quickly realized that after he killed the Ping Shan Demon, Ye Qingci must have sent the news back to the homeland.

"Yes, there was some luck involved, and the Ping Shan Demon wasn’t at full strength then."

"No wonder. And Ye Qingci, she..."

"It’s true."

Su Chengyu guessed what Zhuang Yihan was about to ask and directly interrupted his hesitant words, speaking openly.

After all, the fact that Ye Qingci had become an Earth Immortal would not remain a secret for long; eventually, everyone would know.

In fact, the news should have spread by now, but most people didn’t quite believe it, especially people like Zhuang Yihan or Yang Jun Mo who knew some of Ye Qingci’s affairs.

"It really is her. Time has changed, I didn’t expect that she has become an Earth Immortal now."

Zhuang Yihan’s eyes held an indescribable melancholy, and Su Chengyu, recognizing this expression, took out a jug of wine from the Cui Xia Ring and passed it to him.

Zhuang Yihan originally wanted to refuse, considering that he was on official duty, but the words died in his mouth, and in the end, he took the wine jug from Su Chengyu, no longer caring about the rest, and took a big gulp, then immediately furrowed his brows.

"Rice wine?"

Su Chengyu couldn’t help but laugh, "It’s a gift from a friend in Dongying. I didn’t like it, so I’m just regifting it."

Zhuang Yihan smiled helplessly, and although it wasn’t quite to his taste, his mood prompted him to take another sip.

Su Chengyu blinked and asked, "Do you like Ye Qingci?"

Upon hearing Su Chengyu’s words, Zhuang Yihan couldn’t help but chuckle, "Like her? Someone like me can only admire her at most. Whether it’s the Demon Slayer Department or the Dragon Soul Department, how many outstanding figures like Ye Qingci? What am I in comparison?"

After hearing this, Su Chengyu blinked and somewhat understood Zhuang Yihan’s meaning.

"So there are quite a few in the Capital City who like Ye Qingci?"

"Do you think there would be few?"

Zhuang Yihan didn’t answer but instead responded with a question.

Su Chengyu nodded, already coming to a conclusion in his heart.

Indeed, someone like Ye Qingci, a flower on a high cliff, with her background, strength, talent, and appearance, it would be difficult not to have a multitude of admirers.

Zhuang Yihan clearly was one of them, except he had realized that he couldn’t stand out among the many suitors and had sealed away his feelings early on.

Curious about Ye Qingci’s situation in the Capital City, Su Chengyu took the opportunity to ask, "Brother Zhuang, you’re one of the Dragon Soul Eighteen Guards, do her suitors need to be so formidable that you belittle yourself like this?"

Although it’s widely recognized that the Demon Slayer Saints possess greater strength than the Dragon Soul Eighteen Guards, the positions, belonging to different systems, hold the same status.

However, listening to these words, Zhuang Yihan shook his head and turned to Su Chengyu, "Since you’re a friend of Yang Junmo, you should know he has an older brother, right?"

Su Chengyu nodded. Although he didn’t know much, he was aware that Yang Junmo had an older brother.

"Yang Qianyan, one of the twelve White Saint Envoys, known as Lone Star, rumored to be one of the most powerful even among the White Saint Envoys."

Zhuang Yihan nodded and uttered softly, "There’s a saying always circulating in the Capital City, ’Below Jinglong stands Lone Star.’

"So this person is from the Hollow Realm as well?"

Su Chengyu asked softly, having some understanding of Xu Zijing’s power, and since such a saying was widespread in the Capital City, the likelihood was that Yang Qianyan’s realm was also within the Hollow Realm.

"Yes!"

Zhuang Yihan took another painful gulp, then said with a touch of unwillingness, "Tell me, why do all these top-notch talents come from the Demon Slayer Department? Even Ye Qingci, who clearly should belong to our Dragon Soul Department, why did she also join them? As if that wasn’t enough, if that Yang Qianyan actually managed to win over Ye Qingci..."

Zhuang Yihan became more agitated as he spoke, his hand gripping the wine flask trembling slightly.

"Brother... calm down. You really don’t need to be like this. Regardless of how high Lone Star’s talent is, isn’t he still overtaken by Ye Qingci just like you are? In a certain sense, you’re actually in the same boat."

Zhuang Yihan paused upon hearing Su Chengyu’s point of view, then turned to Su Chengyu with surprise and said, "Do you think I have a chance with Ye Qingci?"

"Ah, no, what I mean is..."

"I understand, even if there’s the possibility of failure, I absolutely can’t give up, right! Indeed, since Ye Qingci is an unapproachable goddess to everyone, why can Yang Qianyan pursue her, but I, Zhuang Yihan, cannot?!"

"Ah?"

Just as the misunderstood Su Chengyu was about to speak, Zhuang Yihan, with newfound hope, turned his head with a beaming face, holding the wine flask and addressed Su Chengyu.

"Shall we drink to that?"

Su Chengyu looked at Zhuang Yihan, who had reignited hope for the future, hesitating to voice the latter half of his thought.

With no alternative, he clinked glasses with Zhuang Yihan and ultimately decided to keep the harsh reality to himself.

Su Chengyu didn’t know what kind of man Ye Qingci would fancy, but he was certain that those from the Demon Slayer Department and the Dragon Soul Department stood no chance whatsoever.

What Ye Qingci intended to do had determined that she could never have any connection with someone from the Demon Slayer Department or the Dragon Soul Department.
