Chapter 1220: Chapter 1220: Attacked Midway
Watching Zhuang Yihan as he reignited his ambitions, Su Chengyu, who had thought several times about speaking up, eventually chose not to shatter this fellow’s beautiful dreams.
"Su Chengyu, though my Zhuang family may not weigh much in Capital City, if there’s ever a need for my assistance after you arrive, do not hesitate to ask!"
Zhuang Yihan declared earnestly, observing this man’s chivalrous demeanor.
Su Chengyu suddenly felt that this beautiful misunderstanding was quite pleasant.
"Could you speak on my behalf to the Long family?"
Su Chengyu also spoke in jest.
Zhuang Yihan, upon hearing this, was immediately taken aback, then pondered seriously for a moment, "It’s not impossible, but..."
"Hold it! I was just saying that off the cuff. Don’t take it seriously!"
Su Chengyue interrupted Zhuang Yihan quickly upon hearing his response. He had brought up the matter spontaneously but had never expected Zhuang Yihan to actually agree.
Realizing something was amiss, he quickly intervened, and his gaze towards Zhuang Yihan also turned peculiar.
Agreeing to speak on someone’s behalf to the Long family when you’ve just met, and you call this having little influence?
He had intended to use that statement to deter Zhuang Yihan, but now that he had actually agreed, Su Chengyu dared not accept it.
In Capital City, to request a favor in front of the Long family, whether successful or not, was an enormous favor indeed.
Su Chengyu was not one to lose face, but given the superficial relationship he currently had with Zhuang Yihan, this favor, if truly owed, he feared he could not repay.
Seeing Su Chengyu’s solemn demeanor, Zhuang Yihan, realizing his own gaffe, also became serious: "I apologize, it was presumptuous of me to think it simple to resolve your grievances with the Long family, it was indeed careless of me to make such a statement."
Su Chengyu sighed with relief, blinking as he looked at Zhuang Yihan, "Thank you, Brother Zhuang. Your intention is enough for me, but after all, this isn’t something you can decide alone. I would feel bad truly dragging you into this."
Zhuang Yihan’s heart warmed even more upon hearing this. If he truly wanted to help Su Chengyu, it naturally meant involving his family behind him; then it wouldn’t just concern the personal rapport between him and Su Chengyu.
He was willing, but what about Su Chengyu? And his family?
Zhuang Yihan, who had previously been exhilarated, took a deep breath and bowed to Su Chengyu, "I won’t make careless promises anymore, but if there’s anything troubling you in Capital City that I can personally help with, please don’t hesitate to tell me."
Had Zhuang Yihan been somewhat impulsive earlier due to his issues with Ye Qingci, he was now very clear-headed in making this decision.
From their brief interactions, Zhuang Yihan had ascertained that the man before him was not one without measure, and his attitude of not being swayed by immediate benefits impressed Zhuang Yihan, thereupon making this commitment in his personal capacity.
Upon hearing Zhuang Yihan’s words, Su Chengyu’s face also showed a slight smile: "Well then, I thank you in advance, Brother Zhuang."
With a bow of gratitude, this time Su Chengyu did not refuse, accepting the personal goodwill offered by Zhuang Yihan.
The journey from Jiangdong to Capital City was not short, and Zhuang Yihan did not hasten along the way; it seemed he preferred to bring Su Chengyu safely to Capital City rather than arrive quickly.
Along the way, Zhuang Yihan inquired several times about the incident between Su Chengyu and Ye Qingci, to which Su Chengyu lightly touched on some aspects of their interactions, naturally shifting their relationship towards passing acquaintances as much as possible.
This was something Ye Qingci had instructed Su Chengyu to do before leaving; it’s hard to keep a secret under wraps. Rather than covering up their interactions with lies, it was better to tell the truth while carefully hiding the most crucial parts.
In truths mingled with lies lay the deceptions that were hardest to detect.
"I can’t believe you two have experiences protecting each other. Why don’t I ever get to experience such things?"
Zhuang Yihan looked somewhat infatuatedly at the moon in the sky, as though the round moon hanging in the night was the beloved he yearned for day and night.
Yet, hearing this, Su Chengyu felt a chill in his heart. A good thing? Let alone Ye Qingci protecting him, when he was protecting Ye Qingci, he had walked on the edge of life and death more than once.
"Ah, that’s not what I meant, Brother Su. Being able to protect Ye Qingci at the level of Nascent Soul Realm shows a courage and strength far beyond my reach."
Zhuang Yihan had already learned that Su Chengyu was a Nascent Soul Third Level, and he was quite astonished by Su Chengyu’s power; however, knowing that he was favored by Princess Lin An, he felt relieved.
How could someone favored by such a person be lacking in talent?
"A perfect match, Brother Su being together with Princess Lin An can indeed be considered a beautiful tale."
Whenever the topic of love came up, Zhuang Yihan’s mind seemed to get muddled, despite being somewhat experienced, Su Chengyu still found it hard to adapt.
"Not really, besides, most people probably don’t share Brother Zhuang’s view on my affair with Lin An."
Zhuang Yihan looked up in surprise at Su Chengyu: "How do you know that?"
"Is it hard to guess?"
Zhuang Yihan instantly understood, then nodded, "Indeed, many people don’t look favorably upon you, given that Princess Lin An is of noble birth, and you, despite your talents, are just a Loose Cultivator from Jiangdong. But rest assured, Brother Su, I have great faith in you, I believe you are truly worthy of Princess Lin An!"
Su Chengyu gave a bitter smile. What use was Zhuang Yihan’s approval?
He wasn’t a Zhao after all.
About his affair with Lin An, he was very clear that what mattered most was the attitude of the Zhao Family, the attitude of the current Heavenly Son.
"However, my aunt seems to care quite a bit about matching families, she probably has a significant objection to you."
"Yes, the Zhao family... Huh?"
Midway through his prepared words, Su Chengyu suddenly realized what Zhuang Yihan had just said and instantly turned to look at Zhuang Yihan, "What did you say?"
Aunt? What aunt? What relation does Zhuang Yihan’s aunt have with Lin An?
As Su Chengyu wondered, suddenly both his and Zhuang Yihan’s expressions changed.
Noticing something amiss, their gazes met, and seeing each other’s expressions, they immediately confirmed their suspicions and leapt up without hesitation.
Just above the spot where they had just been, a sword and a spear collided, creating a massive Mana storm.
"Who dares disturb the Dragon Soul Department in its duty!"
Zhuang Yihan coldly spoke, his Divine Sense swept around but failed to find the person who had attacked.
Just as Zhuang Yihan was puzzled, a cold light suddenly aimed at him. The sharp Mana blade had rushed through the air towards Zhuang Yihan’s back.
"Be careful!"
