Chapter 1301: Chapter 1301: House Viewing

"Have you chosen the house yet?"

Ye Qingci, who had visited Su Chengyu’s residence for the third time in half a month, finally brought up the question proactively.

Su Chengyu, who had detected the implication in Ye Qingci’s words, immediately responded, "Has the Demon Slayer Department finally made a decision?"

"Uh-huh, it was ordered by the Heavenly Son himself, who mandated that you directly become the Substitute Holy Envoy, which shut those people’s mouths for good."

"Looks like Yang Chengyin didn’t have to exert much effort."

Su Chengyu remarked indifferently, not believing that if Yang Chengyin had been determined, he couldn’t have resolved those obstacles.

"Not surprisingly, without you in the Demon Slayer Department, Yang Chengyin has even less need to look after you. Should anything happen to you then, he can wash his hands off it even more cleanly."

"It’s a pity it’s only a substitute position."

Su Chengyu voiced his regret.

"Insatiable greed can lead to biting off more than one can chew, and even though openly no one dares to move against you, there are still too many in the Capital City who don’t wish to see you rise. You’ve been right to stay inside these days."

"Have there really been that many people wanting to kill me this half month?"

Su Chengyu was still somewhat uncertain.

"In the half month you’ve stayed behind closed doors, there have already been three groups attempting to sneak into the house to assassinate you, what do you think?"

Hearing this response, Su Chengyu swallowed hard and said nothing.

The residence of an Earth Immortal was already so hazardous, Su Chengyu dreaded to think how many more would attempt to strike him down if he were to truly leave this house.

"The Capital City is just such a place; the bold thrive, and the timid starve. Your risky behavior in the past was likewise. But that was only up until recently. Now there’s no need for those people to risk moving against you anymore."

The latest month’s major events in the Capital City were clearly known to the discerning to originate from Su Chengyu.

Those whose interests had been stirred had no choice but to venture and take action against Su Chengyu, knowing only with his demise would their benefits be most robustly protected.

Sadly for them, Su Chengyu, forewarned, provided them no opportunity, hiding within the house where Ye Qingci stayed, and ultimately no one could brazenly intrude.

But now that all matters had been settled, those due to die had died, and those due for punishment had been punished, the number of people harboring grudges against Su Chengyu would naturally not be few. However, they no longer had reasons to rashly risk action.

After all, nobody would seek vengeance for a dead man or someone who had completely lost their value. At the end of the day, the Capital’s principle of action prioritized interests first. With everything resolved, taking action against Su Chengyu would simply be venting, and such an act might even provocatively invite Feng Jie Yu’s retribution. It certainly wouldn’t count as a worthwhile risk.

"Yang Junmo, that kid, should also be able to visit me now, huh?"

Ye Qingci thought for a while before saying, "Actually, he came over a week ago, but I sent him rolling back."

"Eh?"

Su Chengyu was somewhat surprised; Zhuang Yihan’s earlier visit had been under the pretext of Dragon Soul Department records, but Yang Junmo’s proactive visit, was he not afraid of courting trouble?

"This guy, although insufferable in some ways, truly can’t be faulted when it comes to friendship."

Ye Qingci wasn’t one for openly praising others, especially someone like Yang Junmo whose conduct was somewhat questionable. That Ye Qingci spared no words in his defense spoke volumes about Yang Junmo’s undeniable loyalty in matters of friendship.

"Why does such a person have to be Yang Chengyin’s son?"

Su Chengyu sighed softly. If not for this fact, he would have divulged all his reasons for coming to the Capital City to him.

But even now, keeping things secret, Su Chengyu had never thought that after learning everything, Yang Junmo would do anything harmful. He simply didn’t want to put Yang Junmo in a difficult position.

"You’ll have to face this question sooner or later; best to prepare yourself mentally."

Ye Qingci spoke calmly, knowing whether Su Chengyu’s investigation went smoothly or not, he would inevitably stand in complete opposition to Yang Chengyin. Then, Yang Junmo would always be an obstacle he could not bypass.

Su Chengyu nodded as he was about to speak when Ye Qingci suddenly looked up towards the direction of the mansion’s gate and said, "Yang Jun Mo has arrived, and he’s brought that girl from the Beitang Family with him."

"Good timing, I had Yang Jun Mo bring me to take a look at that place in person."

Ye Qingci nodded and finally said, "Be careful with your safety, there might still be some fools bold enough to make a move."

"Mm, but I can’t hide forever, can I? Half a month has already been long enough."

After speaking, Su Chengyu bid Ye Qingci farewell, and for the first time since he began staying in her residence, he left the mansion.

Just as he reached the main gate, Su Chengyu, with a smile, waved at the two people. Seeing Su Chengyu actively leaving the residence, Yang Jun Mo’s face also changed slightly as he said, "Su Chengyu, even if it’s your brother coming, you didn’t have to personally come out to meet me. Are you sure you don’t want to..."

"There’s no need, half a month of laying low is enough. It’s pointless to hide any longer from those who are blind to danger. Eventually, I’ll have to take matters into my own hands."

Yang Jun Mo blinked, puzzled as he said, "Didn’t Ye Qingci say anything?"

"If she didn’t allow me to go, would I be able to step out of her house?" Su Chengyu said with a smile.

"Alright, if Ye Qingci didn’t say anything then I won’t worry needlessly. Beitang Qian Xiao is leaving today, so she asked if she could come to see you."

Su Chengyu looked at Beitang Qian Xiao and asked, "You’re leaving?"

Beitang Qian Xiao responded, "There has been another incident in the north."

"Is it the Demonic Path again?" Su Chengyu immediately asked.

Beitang Qian Xiao nodded. "Yes, after the grand demon-slaying conference, the Demonic Path has become even more rampant. The Elders of the Beitang Family have already gone back first. Tomorrow, I will also take the rest back to the Beitang Family."

"Be careful."

Beitang Qian Xiao shook her head, "You’re the one who should."

Su Chengyu smiled and said, "The Demon Slayer Department’s appointment should come through in the next couple of days, and I’ve secured my footing in the Capital City, so there’s not too much to worry about."

Beitang Qian Xiao, of course, was aware of Su Chengyu’s precarious situation in the Capital City, but since he was speaking like that, it wasn’t her place to say more, and she held back any other comments.

"Oh right, since you’re leaving tomorrow, I was planning to take a look at a residence in the Capital City today. You might as well help me out with your advice."

Su Chengyu said to Beitang Qian Xiao. While he knew the method of the Dragon Seeking Talisman, his talent wasn’t particularly high. Ideally, he would have Yu Yanshu come, however, given his current circumstances, he really did not want to involve Yu Yanshu further.

The Beitang Family, being one of the Four-sided families, was renowned throughout Xia Country for their expertise in Ziwei Astrology.

"Of course, I can help. However, my study in Ziwei Astrology is not very deep. If you don’t mind, I can ask my cousin to assist. She has made significant achievements in this field."

"Of course I don’t mind."

Su Chengyu said with a smile and then informed the two of them of the first location he planned to visit.

After confirming the place, Beitang Qian Xiao made an appointment to meet them at the location and set out to fetch her cousin.

Su Chengyu and Yang Jun Mo took the lead and set off towards the destination.

Just after the three of them left, a pair of spying eyes slowly emerged in the dense forest in the distance, speaking in a cold voice.

"The target has left Ye Qingci’s residence. Should we make our move?"

"No need to rush. First, let’s confirm what they’re up to. Don’t forget our true objective."

"Understood."

With a cold voice, the shadow concealed itself again and then followed behind Su Chengyu and Yang Jun Mo, unaware that there was another pair of eyes watching their movements.
