Chapter 1327: Chapter 1327: First Mission

Su Chengyu coldly looked at Su Zi, feeling indifferent about her true intentions; he neither knew them nor cared to know.

He just needed to understand that now, if this woman realized that without him, she would be worthless,

Su Zi would have no choice but to rely on him. The Su Clan had abandoned her, and Su Chengyu was willing to give her a lifeline—this was her final reason for betraying the Su Clan.

Su Clan, it’s not that I am relentless; it’s you who have orchestrated this situation.

"Get up, Saint Envoy Ye is currently recuperating, your recovery will have to be delayed for a while."

"Understood, I’m not in a hurry," Su Zi responded, lowering her head slowly.

She was aware of the situation at the pinnacle of the battle and also knew that even if Qingci had the ability, Su Chengyu wouldn’t let Qingci fully heal her internal injuries immediately.

The few encounters had made Su Zi realize that the man before her was not a simple and kind person.

Before establishing some trust with her, he definitely would not let her fully recover.

Su Chengyu looked at Su Zi and said, "Are you so confident that you don’t doubt I might be deceiving you?"

Su Zi looked up and replied, "There’s no need for the Young Master to do so, plus this is indeed my only hope now."

Su Zi had already come to terms with this, hesitating only because she didn’t want to lose her dignity and become the despicable person who betrays her clan.

Su Chengyu smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t make it too difficult for you. As long as you don’t slip up, I assure you the Su Clan will not know you’ve sided with me."

Su Zi blinked and asked Su Chengyu, "Then how should I go back and report my actions?"

Su Chengyu looked up and asked, "Has the Su Clan issued a death order for you to perish together with me?"

Su Zi shook her head, "The order I received is just as you said. If you still refuse to reconcile with the Su Clan, it dictates that I perish along with you, but..."

"Isn’t it just a matter of seeking reconciliation, Yan’er?"

Su Chengyu spoke, and Yu Yanshu immediately brought over a brand new list, handing it to Su Zi.

Looking at the list with confusion, Su Chengyu said, "Have the Su Clan bring out these items as an apology, and we’ll consider our past grievances settled."

"Ten Superior Grade Divine Artifacts? Five bottles of top-quality Dragon Spirit Pills, and..."

Su Zi, seeing the contents of the list, widened her eyes and immediately denied, "The Su Clan would never agree to such disrespectful demands."

"I know."

Su Zi, even more perplexed, asked, "Then why would the Young Master do this?"

"Without making a bold initial demand, how can the Su Clan truly believe that I have let go of my grudge against them? This list is for the Su Clan to negotiate. As for how much you can bargain, that depends on your skills."

Su Chengyu smiled at Su Zi, who immediately understood; this was the first task Su Chengyu had assigned to her.

Securing as much benefit as possible for Su Chengyu within the Su Clan, Su Zi took a deep breath and said, "Young Master, rest assured, I will do my best."

"Good, you have a rough idea of the value of these items. Based on this total value, you can slowly discuss with the Su Clan. Also, if it involves the fundamental materials for Elixirs, you may slightly increase their value."

Hearing this, Su Zi immediately looked up and asked, "Young Master is also skilled in Alchemy?"

"How so? Is there a problem?"

"No, there isn’t."

Su Zi immediately spoke up, albeit somewhat unexpectedly.

After the life-and-death battle, Su Zi had realized that, like the cultivators from the Ancient Clan, Su Chengyu had chosen the path of cultivating both immortality and martial arts.

Normally, this path required much more energy compared to what ordinary cultivators would expend, leaving them with little energy to focus on other tasks.

"Actually, I know a bit about artifact crafting too."

Su Zi looked up at Su Chengyu with a somewhat stiff expression and said, "You must be joking, sir?"

"Indeed, I am joking. What I know isn’t sophisticated enough to be respected."

Su Chengyu did indeed have some understanding of artifact crafting, mainly acquired during the recasting of the Dragon Slayer Sword, but ultimately it was Ye Qingci who helped craft the new body for the Dragon Slayer Sword, and Su Chengyu did not play a substantial role in it.

The way of artifact crafting was indeed not Su Chengyu’s specialty.

"By the way, even if the Su Clan cannot part with that mansion, spend some effort to replace the people there with your own trusted followers. Since the Su Clan has already discarded you, consider that place as your long-term residence."

Su Zi immediately understood Su Chengyu’s intent and nodded, "Rest assured, sir, Su Zi will arrange everything."

Su Chengyu nodded, gave a few final instructions, and then allowed Su Zi to leave.

After Su Zi had disappeared, Qiu Tianlin’s figure immediately appeared in the front hall. Su Chengyu promptly said, "Teacher, how did I do?"

Qiu Tianlin softly said, "It’s slightly naive, but the general direction isn’t wrong. To grasp someone’s heart, mere pressure is never enough; a combination of kindness and severity is key. This is not difficult to say, but the true challenge lies in the nuance. For different people, the nuances vary greatly, and that subtlety can only be mastered by you."

Su Chengyu earnestly nodded and said, "I understand."

"Are you planning to make a move against the Su Clan first?"

Qiu Tianlin looked at Su Chengyu and asked.

Su Chengyu shook his head and said, "The Su Clan has vast resources. Now, wanting to keep a low profile mostly depends on them recognizing that I have truly become a part of the Demon Slayer Department. On stepping out of the Capital City, it’s uncertain if the Su Clan might act against me."

Just as within the Capital City the Earth Immortals would prevent Feng Jie Yu from truly wreaking havoc, for whatever reason, the Earth Immortals in the Capital City would not allow anyone to cause trouble as long as Su Chengyu was in the city, he was under their protection. Even the Ancient Clan would have to hesitate, but once he left the Capital, it would be a different story.

"Simply speaking in terms of strategy, this Su Zi is indeed a good move. However, remember not to rush; a hidden piece revealed too early only becomes a ticking time bomb threatening you."

Su Chengyu nodded and firmly committed Qiu Tianlin’s words to memory.

Over the following days, not only the Su Clan but also Zhao Shijue and Long Xuan, who had previously clashed with Su Chengyu, sent gifts that were not insignificant as a housewarming gesture.

With the support of these three gifts, Su Chengyu successfully finished the protective formation of the residence.

Of course, the residence’s protective formation was merely a façade, only capable of warding off invaders from the Hollow Vacuum and was hardly impregnable in the Capital City. What truly gave Su Chengyu peace of mind was the Earth Immortal, Qiu Tianlin, who could appear in the courtyard at any moment.

As long as Qiu Tianlin was there, even if a real Earth Immortal attacked, Su Chengyu was fully confident in countering the devastating onslaught.

And on the third day after the formation was completed, someone from the Demon Slayer Department arrived.

"Su Chengyu, prepare to leave. Tomorrow, you will accompany me out of the Capital."

"To where?"

"To the Bei Luo Empire."
