Chapter 1223: Chapter 1223: Seeing Lin An Again

"Long Xuan! Do you realize the nonsense you’re spouting? This matter could very well involve the future of the Long family, and I won’t allow you to act rashly out of emotion!"

Longzhan’s voice was filled with passion as he spoke, clearly rejecting Long Xuan’s words.

"Father, I have already informed Great Ancestor, and he has agreed."

"How is that possible!" Longzhan couldn’t believe what he was hearing, not having expected that Long Xuan had already arranged everything, and even less so that the Great Ancestor would agree.

Long Xuan blinked, his tone cold as he said, "If Father does not believe, he can go and ask Great Ancestor himself."

Longzhan’s eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and even though he had myriad dissatisfaction in his heart, it would not be appropriate for him to continue making a scene.

After all, if this was indeed the Great Ancestor’s decision, he would dare not say more even if he had many objections.

However, he knew the attitude of the Great Ancestor. He just couldn’t figure out what condition Long Xuan had used to convince the Great Ancestor that there was no need for his intervention.

"Father, if there’s nothing else, I will take my leave."

Seeing that Longzhan had nothing more to say, Long Xuan directly excused himself.

After paying his respects to the Great Ancestor and visiting the Ancestral Shrine, there were still many places Long Xuan needed to go.

Although he didn’t particularly enjoy these worldly affairs, returning home on this rare occasion meant he still had to complete what needed to be done.

Longzhan watched as Long Xuan gradually walked away, his eyes narrowing, but in the end, he didn’t forcibly stop him.

The steward of the Long family, who had come to the Ancestral Shrine with Longzhan, cautiously said, "Old Master, are we really not going to stop the young master?"

"What? Do you have the confidence to change his mind?"

The steward shook his head. Although he had planned many things for the Long family, when it came to Long Xuan, even he was powerless.

How stubborn Long Xuan was—his understanding was not much less than that of Longzhan.

"So, we’re just going to let this matter go?"

Longzhan’s face twitched, and then he spoke softly, "Let’s ask the Great Ancestor first. If it’s really as it appears... then we’ll have to think of other methods."

The steward nodded, ultimately saying nothing more. In his eyes, as long as Long Xuan was willing to take action and demand an explanation from Su Chengyu as a peer, Su Chengyu’s death was certain.

But without Long Xuan, the Long family still had a thousand ways to deal with Su Chengyu.

After all, this was Capital City. Even if the other party were a powerful figure elsewhere, here, they would have to lie low.

Moreover... within Xia Country, in the Capital City, aside from the revered Heavenly Son, who dares to call themselves dragon?

Su Chengyu, not worthy.

Inside an upscale hotel in Capital City, Su Chengyu had moved in under the arrangements made by Zhuang Yihan.

Su Chengyu was initially surprised, but he quickly understood that this was also specially arranged by the Dragon Soul Department.

Given his sensitive and unique status, it was necessary for him to be under the supervision of the Dragon Soul Department. Yet they couldn’t treat him as a criminal, so he was placed to stay in this hotel which ordinary people simply couldn’t afford.

As soon as Su Chengyu entered, he realized that not only were the doormen martial artists with significant skill, but other people also had a distinguished air about them, with speech and demeanor that obviously reflected specialized training.

Zhuang Yihan, noticing Su Chengyu’s clear observation of the surroundings, did not hide anything and directly said, "Most of the guests at this hotel are foreigners, or dignitaries personally invited to visit the Imperial Palace. To be honest, I’m quite surprised that the higher-ups arranged for me to bring you here."

Su Chengyu responded with a slight smile, "No wonder I don’t look like a distinguished guest."

Having experienced an earlier attack, Zhuang Yihan’s trust in Su Chengyu had increased somewhat and he spoke candidly, "I don’t know whether you’re distinguished or not, but I do know the troubles around you are certainly real."

Su Chengyu blinked, understanding what Zhuang Yihan meant. When they had entered the city just before, several hidden forces from different directions had clearly targeted them.

It is important to note that whether it was Su Chengyu’s return to the homeland or Zhuang Yihan leading him to the Capital City, both were decisions made recently and carried out in secrecy.

Yet these people seemed to have known all along, already waiting for Su Chengyu’s entry into the Capital.

"I don’t want it either, but gold can only shine, and naturally, there won’t be a shortage of people who get greedy at the sight of gold. However, at least the Capital seems peaceful on the surface."

After entering the city, Su Chengyu was prepared for someone to make a move against them, but all the way to the hotel with Zhuang Yihan, no one acted. It was almost certain that their destination was this hotel, and after that, the watchers dispersed, not choosing to take any drastic risks.

"After all, this is the Capital, not a place where one can afford to cause trouble lightly. Still, you should be careful. Sometimes, an obvious attack can be harder to guard against than a hidden one."

"Thank you."

Su Chengyu opened his mouth to speak with a smile, accepting Zhuang Yihan’s kind warning.

Zhuang Yihan personally escorted Su Chengyu to the door of his room before stopping, not planning to go inside with him. Standing at the doorstep, Zhuang Yihan spoke one last time.

"Although the Dragon Soul Department hasn’t restricted your movements and will at most follow you, I still advise you not to leave this place at random. Today is just the beginning, and when those people are truly ready, no one can say for sure if someone will take a desperate risk."

The fact that Su Chengyu possessed an Immortal Artifact had already spread throughout Xia Country, and with the covert help of the Long family, there were too many people in the Capital City who wanted to snatch that Immortal Artifact from Su Chengyu’s hands.

It’s a crime to possess a jade without guilt.

To many people, Su Chengyu now looked like a delectable treat, and compared to other Immortal Artifacts hidden by powerful families or Ancient Clans, the Immortal Artifact in Su Chengyu’s possession might be the only one they would ever have the chance to see in their lives.

"Sure, don’t worry. Even if I do want to go out, I won’t act alone," Su Chengyu reassured.

Zhuang Yihan blinked, hesitated for a moment, but still said, "If you don’t mind, you can call me to come along when the time comes."

Su Chengyu smiled, "Alright, I won’t be polite."

Seeing that Su Chengyu did not consider his actions as a means of surveillance, Zhuang Yihan felt completely reassured, nodded, and with a formal gesture said, "Then I’ll take my leave first. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."

After exchanging contact information, Zhuang Yihan finally got up and left the hotel.

Su Chengyu watched Zhuang Yihan leave and waited until his figure had completely disappeared before entering the room and closing the door behind him.

Just as Su Chengyu had stepped into the room, a figure emerged from inside. Lin An, who had been waiting in the room for Su Chengyu’s arrival, furrowed his brow upon seeing Su Chengyu after several months. He was about to speak when Su Chengyu, with a quick step, rushed forward and embraced the long-missed person.

Feeling the familiar embrace enveloping her, Lin An’s thoughts of chiding Su Chengyu instantly dispersed, and leaning into Su Chengyu’s chest, she spoke somewhat forlornly.

"You were already abroad, so why have you come back again? You’re such an idiot..."
