Chapter 1302: Chapter 1302: Visiting the Su Clan

The first place that Su Chengyu took an interest in was also the closest to Ye Qingci’s private residence, and it was one of her alternative options.

To have caught Ye Qingci’s eye, the overall quality naturally couldn’t be bad. However, once Su Chengyu and Yang Junmo actually arrived there, they both realized the problem.

The spiritual energy was insufficient.

The spiritual energy near the Capital City was denser compared to most parts of Xia Country. This was partly due to the huge Spirit Gathering Array within the city and also because of the influence of the nation’s current fortune.

When the nation prospers, it bestows blessings upon the world, and the Capital City naturally becomes the starting point of these blessings.

Yet even so, the spiritual energy here was still far too scant compared to other areas of the Capital City.

"It’s the Spirit Gathering Array at Ye Qingci’s place causing it. All of nature’s spiritual energy is being drawn over there. Even if you were to set up a small Spirit Gathering Array afterward, it would merely be competing with her for the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy," said Yang Junmo bluntly.

"Yes, although I anticipated this before coming, the spiritual energy is indeed much too low," Su Chengyu responded.

For Su Chengyu, the concentration of nature’s spiritual energy wasn’t a matter of simple cultivation. After all, he was unlikely to seclude himself for closed-door cultivation at his own private residence.

However, when it came to alchemy and other activities, Su Chengyu would definitely need to be at his residence, and the spiritual energy here already failed to meet the conditions necessary for many elixirs to form.

Based on this alone, Su Chengyu had no choice but to abandon this place.

"What a shame to give up this ready-made mansion."

Not all the locations suggested by Ye Qingci had pre-existing dwelling places.

Many were still basic plots of land, and Su Chengyu would need to break the ground himself if he wanted to settle down.

Of course, this approach had its advantages, as it meant Su Chengyu could personally supervise the construction from the very foundation, allowing for better arrangements of everything.

However, all Su Chengyu wanted was just a place to settle down, and he preferred not to invest too much effort here, so he naturally wanted to pick up something ready-made wherever possible.

Hearing Su Chengyu say this, Yang Junmo suddenly had an idea, "If you’re looking to save trouble and move in right away, consider asking some of the noble families. A lot of great noble families in the Capital City have vacant houses, and the Feng Shui is pretty good. It’s just that you might have to give up more in return."

Su Chengyu countered, "Would any noble families be willing to deal with me at this time?"

"Do you really think of yourself as a rat everyone wants to kill? Ranked fifth on the Red List, Feng Jie Yu is vouching for you. Sure, there are quite a few in the Capital City who want you dead now, but now that you’re about to join the Demon Slayer Department, there are also many noble families who would like to make connections with you, right?"

Su Chengyu chuckled lightly. How could he not be aware of this? He spoke again, "I’m talking about the truly great noble families."

Yang Junmo suddenly fell silent. He understood that the deeper the roots of the great noble families in the Capital City, the less likely they would be to associate with Su Chengyu under the current unclear circumstances.

After all, it was common knowledge that a certain someone in the palace harbored hostility towards Su Chengyu, yet she was the only one who had stayed out of the business of those who had played dirty against him in the life-and-death fight.

"Okay, those Capital City noble families probably won’t dare to associate with you much. But you don’t have to limit yourself to them," Yang Junmo said.

Su Chengyu did not immediately grasp what he meant and was about to ask when Bei Tang Qianxiao’s voice preempted him.

"What Yang Junmo means is, for instance, families like our Beitang Family."

The words had barely finished when Bei Tang Qianxiao, riding a sword and accompanied by a young woman, landed beside the two men.

"Su Chengyu, let me introduce you—this is my cousin, Bei Tang Lin."

Su Chengyu looked at the young girl in front of him who had yet to come of age and revealed a kind smile; this was not his first encounter with Bei Tang Lin.

At the last Demon Extermination Convention, he had noticed this youngest girl from the Beitang Family. Her eyes had made a significant impression on him. With just one glance, Su Chengyu saw that Bei Tang Lin possessed a talent for the Pupil Skill.

"Hello, my name is Su Chengyu."

Hiding behind Bei Tang Qian Xiao with half her body, Bei Tang Lin spoke with a slight hostility, "Did you really beat Long Xuan?"

Su Chengyu, seeing the inexplicable hostility in the other’s eyes, understood and spoke softly, "It wasn’t a complete victory, just good luck. If it were to happen again, the outcome would still be uncertain."

Upon hearing Su Chengyu’s response, Bei Tang Lin seemed to find some reassurance and whispered, "I knew it; a prodigy like Long Xuan couldn’t possibly lose to someone else."

"Lin’er!"

Bei Tang Qian Xiao frowned and could not help but scold, then turned to Su Chengyu to explain, "Sorry, my cousin is an admirer of Long Xuan."

Su Chengyu shook his head, "It’s fine, I understand. Someone like Long Xuan indeed has a magnetism that draws people in."

Not to mention anything else, that pure Dao Heart in Long Xuan was something even Su Chengyu himself admired and could not obtain.

"You do have some self-awareness. Even if you lucked out and won against Lord Long Xuan once, there is still a gap between you and him. He is the genuine number one amongst the youth."

Su Chengyu’s concession only made Bei Tang Lin push further, and his brows furrowed at her attitude.

Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s face darkened in an instant, and he swiftly said, "Lin’er, have you forgotten what you promised me before we came?"

Hearing Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s words, Bei Tang Lin immediately fell silent, turning her gaze away and saying nothing more.

It was then that Bei Tang Qian Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked up beside Su Chengyu to say, "Sorry. The news of you beating Long Xuan spread, and this child has been insisting on meeting you once again. I originally did not intend to agree, but since you wanted to select a site, I thought it would be convenient to bring her along to put an end to her whim."

Hearing Bei Tang Qian Xiao say this, Su Chengyu had no more to say and glanced at Bei Tang Lin, "Does she have a talent for cultivating the Pupil Skill?"

Bei Tang Qian Xiao nodded, "Indeed, Lin’er was born with special eyes; her right eye can resonate with Gods and Demons. Combined with our Beitang Family’s Ziwei Astrology, she can see many things invisible to others. In terms of the Dragon Seeking Talisman, even the Dream Entering Elder cannot compare to her."

Su Chengyu nodded, not doubting Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s words, but he understood that, even if the girl’s talent in Dragon Seeking Talisman was indeed not bad, he would not fully trust what she said.

"By the way, what did you mean just now by following up on Yang Junmo’s comment about your Beitang Family?"

Seeing Su Chengyu return to the initial topic, Bei Tang Qian Xiao glanced at Yang Junmo before explaining, "I believe what Yang Junmo meant was that the aristocratic families of the Capital City may not dare to associate deeply with you, but you can look to families like ours whose roots are not in the Capital City, like our Beitang, for example. Our Beitang Family mainly operates in the north, but we also have several properties in the Capital City."

Yang Junmo nodded, "That’s right, that’s what I meant. And it’s not only the Beitang Family; the Four-sided families have several unattended private residences in the Capital City. The Qian Family, who previously took the initiative to offer elixirs, also has many vacant properties, as well as..."

Yang Junmo suddenly stopped his speech, and Su Chengyu also caught on, "Are you talking about the Ancient Clan?"

Yang Junmo scratched his head, "They naturally have properties as well, but considering the relationship between the Ancient Clans and you, they most likely wouldn’t engage in transactions with you."

"That may not be the case."

Su Chengyu’s remark seemed to make him think of something, and he turned to Yang Junmo to ask, "Have the people from the Su Clan left the Capital City?"

Hearing this, Yang Junmo had an odd expression and looked at Su Chengyu, "Su Chengyu, what are you planning?"

Su Chengyu smiled, "Naturally, I plan on paying a visit to the Su family."
