Chapter 1298: Chapter 1298: The Dust Settles

Feng Jie Yu chuckled softly and then whispered, "This trip to the Capital City has indeed let me encounter many old acquaintances, which has made me quite reflective. Things change, people change, and many are not the same as when I first knew them."

Su Chengyu coughed dryly, not daring to interject.

"Friends may no longer be friends, and enemies may no longer be enemies, so I won’t speak too much of the past to avoid influencing your own judgment, after all, it’s you who must stay in the Capital City."

"I understand, godmother."

Su Chengyu nodded and did not ask further.

"As long as I’m alive, and as long as Yang Chengyin can’t confirm your identity, he won’t risk making a move against you. Moreover, fearing my malicious revenge, he would even overtly ensure your safety as much as possible, to prevent us from both going down together. Joining the Demon Slayer Department is indeed your best option right now."

Su Chengyu didn’t respond; he knew it wasn’t that joining the Demon Slayer Department was his best option, but rather that he had decided to join, and so Feng Jie Yu had created this situation for him.

"There’s no need for that. I hold you in high regard not only because you are Splitting Heaven’s son but also because your performance truly warrants it. Sometimes I even think that if you were not Splitting Heaven’s son, perhaps you could be even better."

Without those burdens, how difficult would it be for Su Chengyu to become the next Long Xuan?

Long Xuan had glimpsed the threshold of resonance with the Tao of Heaven in the Hollow Realm, and Su Chengyu had already unleashed a sword imbued with the Power of the Tao of Heaven while merely at Nascent Soul!

"Let’s not talk about this anymore, Yu Er, you have met with Yang Chengyin; what do you think? Does he suspect your identity?"

Su Chengyu shook his head: "I don’t know; he seems unfathomable to me. It’s not just his strength; I can’t even sense what he is thinking at all, almost making me believe that the incident with grandfather truly had nothing to do with him."

"That is Yang Chengyin for you," Feng Jie Yu’s expression darkened.

Su Chengyu nodded, "But I believe that grandfather would absolutely never betray Xia Country."

Feng Jie Yu nodded, reassured by this.

Suddenly recalling something, Su Chengyu then shared with Feng Jie Yu his suspicion that Yang Chengyin might also be seeking the death of Long TingSheng.

Feng Jie Yu’s eyebrows lifted, "So that’s why it was so easy to implement."

"Godmother, Yang Chengyin isn’t just making this up after the fact, right?"

Feng Jie Yu’s intent to kill revealed, "Since he said it, he most likely realized it right from the start. However, realizing and being able to prevent are two different things. Even if he truly wanted to stop me then, I was confident I could kill Long TingSheng before he did!"

Su Chengyu grinned, "Naturally, I trust my godmother."

"Flattery will get you nowhere. However, you indeed reminded me; Yang Chengyin is cunningly manipulative, and this affair was indeed used by him to his advantage."

Feng Jie Yu’s tone clearly carried a hint of displeasure, Su Chengyu asked, "Godmother, you are not still thinking of..."

"Don’t worry, I know my limits, and I will settle this account with him slowly."

Su Chengyu then heaved a sigh of relief, and Feng Jie Yu continued, "Besides Yang Chengyin, if you get a chance, try to meet with Le Niushang."

"Lin An’s mother?"

"Yes, her obsession with you is strong, and even though things have escalated this much, she definitely won’t let go of you easily. However, for my sake, she will probably not attempt to harm you anytime soon. If possible, I’d still prefer that you two don’t exacerbate things too much."

Su Chengyu nodded, as he thought the same, after all, she was Lin An’s mother.

Then Feng Jie Yu talked with Su Chengyu about some matters related to the Imperial Palace, before turning her head towards Master Cangqing.

Master Cangqing immediately understood the intention and waved his hand to remove the prohibition barrier.

"Is that all?" the old Daoist said with confidence in his skill to obscure the Heaven’s Secrets, "Ms. Feng can speak freely."

"No need, I’m not a person who likes to nag, explaining what needs to be explained is enough."

Su Chengyu turned his head and spoke to Cang Qing, "Master, I appreciate your help this time."

Cang Qing waved his hand, "What trouble? I am merely assisting Ms. Feng, clearing some obstacles for her. I can’t be as free-spirited as these Loose Cultivators, I am quite envious of them."

Su Chengyu understood that as Master Cangqing was the Sect Leader of Mount Qingcheng, his identity was special. If he truly took action directly, the temple might escape but the monk couldn’t. Even if people in the Capital City dared not do anything to Master Cangqing, the Qingcheng Sect would still inevitably make things difficult.

"Master, are you planning to return to Mount Qingcheng next?"

Master Cangqing shook his head and glanced at Feng Jie Yu, "Ms. Feng will be traveling to other domains later on, and I can still offer some minor help. Therefore, I will accompany Ms. Feng for a while longer. After that, I plan to head to the north."

"The north?"

Su Chengyu had heard someone mention the north recently; it seemed that there had been quite a few incidents there.

"Is it because of matters related to the Demonic Path?"

Master Cangqing nodded, "The Demonic Path is most rampant in the north now, and I happen to have matters I want to verify. This opportunity of leaving the mountain is perfect for me to go and check personally."

"Master, please be careful."

Having witnessed the methods of the Demonic Path, Su Chengyu vividly remembered the cruel and bloody scenes. He did not doubt Master Cangqing’s strength, but facing the strange forces of the Demonic Path, it was still best to be cautious.

"By the way, if you have time, try to make more contact with Zhao Shijue; it may help you establish yourself in the Capital City."

"Zhao Shijue?" Although Su Chengyu indeed had this intention, the fact that Master Cangqing brought it up prompted Su Chengyu to deeply consider Master Cangqing’s intentions.

Master Cangqing, stroking his beard, said, "Behind Zhao Shijue is the Respectful Heaven Bureau, and Chang Chun and I have a wager about your conflict with Zhao Shijue. Now that you have won, I have secured a benefit for you, but whether this benefit will ultimately come to you depends on your own efforts."

Su Chengyu’s eyes lit up, "Thank you, Master!"

Then Su Chengyu asked about Chen Mengmeng and others; Chen Mengmeng was still within the sect gate, cultivating peacefully while waiting for an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Ji Yuzhu, after coming out of the Kunwu Realm, seemed to have a stronger obsession with cultivation and left the mountain for training after two months of peace.

Bai Ling Shan, after returning to the Qingcheng Sect, had also changed a lot in personality. She became much more stable but occasionally mentioned Su Chengyu, always thinking of the Master Uncle who had helped her considerably.

"It seems everyone is doing well, so I am relieved."

Hearing Master Cangqing’s words, Su Chengyu exhaled in relief as well.

Master Cangqing nodded with a smile, "Although your time at Mount Qingcheng has not been long, those who have interacted with you all acknowledge you as a disciple of our Qingcheng. Your victory over Long Xuan has also vindicated our sect, and finally, I have the face to erase his name from that stele."
