Chapter 1396: Chapter 1396: Every Man for Himself, or Face Annihilation

"So what do you all think of that coming-of-age ceremony?"

Unapologetically taking the ring, Su Chengyu turned his head to look at Mo Ningchen and You Ming.

He knew he was not yet officially a Saint Envoy, and even though Mo Ningchen and You Ming were willing to respect his thoughts, Su Chengyu would still maintain his posture and not overshadow them.

"Before coming to the Bei Luo Empire, I had learned about this. The date for the ceremony was set last year; it wasn’t arranged because of our arrival."

"So is our arrival merely a coincidence?"

You Ming turned to ask.

Mo Ningchen shrugged, "At least on the surface, that’s the case. Even a year ago, there was no plan for any undercover investigation into Bei Luo. But there is something you did well."

Saying this, Mo Ningchen looked towards Su Chengyu, who asked puzzledly: "Refusing the public coronation as knights?"

Mo Ningchen nodded: "The Bam Alliance has even reached out towards the Tower of Eternal Winter, so it’s not surprising that they could infiltrate the City of Thousand Peaks, and this ceremony could be their target. Indeed, it’s not suitable for us to be too conspicuous."

"But we’re here anyway, aren’t we? And if the Bam Alliance would strike at the Queen’s coming-of-age ceremony, that would also be an opportunity for us."

You Ming stated calmly on the side.

Mo Ningchen glanced at her and said softly, "You are familiar with the City of Thousand Peaks. The job of gathering intelligence will be yours."

"Understood."

You Ming replied softly.

"Remember not to be rash, after all, this is the Royal Capital of the Bei Luo Empire."

Watching You Ming, who seemed no different than usual, Mo Ningchen oddly reiterated.

Without responding, You Ming seemed not to take that advise seriously.

Su Chengyu watched the peculiar interaction between the two without taking a stance, only speaking towards the window, "There must be countless eyes on us outside, even if allies, the people of the Bei Luo Empire surely won’t allow us to act wildly in the City of Thousand Peaks."

"Yes, so to create enough opportunities for You Ming, you may roam freely these next few days."

"Just like that?"

Su Chengyu looked questioningly at Mo Ningchen, thinking he would be assigned to do something specific to divert attention in the City of Thousand Peaks.

Watching Su Chengyu, Mo Ningchen simply chuckled softly, "Your ability to stir up trouble was well recognized by me during our time in the Capital."

Su Chengyu remained silent.

Mo Ningchen advised again: "No need to force it, just tone down a bit, and even without the identity of the Demon Slayer Department, the identity of Bei Tang Yu is enough to resolve most issues that might arise in the City of Thousand Peaks."

Su Chengyu, unsure if this was praise or a warning, felt no need to respond.

Seeing the situation was good, Mo Ningchen switched topics: "The identity for You Ming, let that girl named Fang Qing replace her for now; this will also provide better room for You Ming to operate."

"Have Fang Qing disguise as You Ming?"

You Ming, upon hearing this, also spoke: "If she cannot change her aura, I can help her. I assure you that no one below Earth Immortal could tell anything is amiss, even an Earth Immortal couldn’t be sure without actively doing anything based on sensation alone."

Both of their gazes fell on Su Chengyu, but he did not immediately agree, even for convenience, he wouldn’t let Fang Qing take such a risk so easily.

"I need to ask her opinion."

Mo Ningchen chuckled lightly: "She is also a part of Xia Country, I believe she will make the right choice."

These words were bordering on moral coercion, so Su Chengyu naturally did not relay them directly to Fang Qing. After explaining the pros and cons in the small world, Fang Qing only proposed one condition, which Su Chengyu then honestly relayed to Mo Ningchen.

"She wants to know what exactly we are going to do in the City of Thousand Peaks."

Mo Ningchen listening to this laughed a little: "It seems this woman has you in her heart."

Su Chengyu was too lazy to respond, but he also understood clearly that Fang Qing asking such a question clearly wanted to know why he came to Bei Luo Empire.

"It doesn’t matter, after all, it is not entirely a secret anymore, it’s just not thoroughly public yet."

Mo Ningchen also nodded: "If she wants to know, just tell her. After all, if you really want to tell her these things, we can’t stop you."

The rules of the Demon Slayer Department are so free that ever since Yang Chengyin took charge, aside from a few mandatory regulations, as long as you can complete your tasks, no matter what methods are used, the department does not interfere.

That’s exactly why there are a bunch of arrogant people like Red Flame and Cang Xue.

These Demon Slayer Saints, not as powerful as the top tier, however have the illusion that they can act unbridled within Xia Country.

"That kind of thing, I will not do."

Su Chengyu said softly, and then in the small world, he told Fang Qing that they were from the Demon Slayer Department and came to Bei Luo Empire to investigate matters related to the Demonic Path.

After hearing this, although Fang Qing was shocked, she quickly agreed to impersonate You Ming.

It was then that Su Chengyu let her out of the small world, with You Ming altering her aura for her.

At this time, Mo Ningchen came to Su Chengyu’s side and joked quietly: "Quite a few beautiful women around you, huh? I heard that Princess Lin An from the Imperial Palace also has something with you, is it true?"

"What do you mean by ’having something with’?"

Su Chengyu spoke with slight dissatisfaction.

Seeing Su Chengyu’s reaction, Mo Ningchen quickly corrected himself: "My apologies, my apologies, it was a slip of the tongue. Please don’t take it to heart, it was disrespectful to the future Prince Consort."

Su Chengyu gave him a light look and said softly: "I really don’t understand how a Martial Artist like you has so many tricks up his sleeve."

Mo Ningchen chuckled: "No way around it. I, unlike Xu Zijing and Yang Qianyan and those people, come from a poor background. I climbed step by step to this position because if I didn’t have many tricks, I wouldn’t know at which point I would have died."

"As a friend, there is something I’m not sure if I should say."

Mo Ningchen looked at Su Chengyu strangely, his expression finally became serious: "Go ahead, if it’s unpleasant, I’ll pretend you never said it, I absolutely won’t take it to heart."

Su Chengyu nodded: "I understand your concerns, it must be because of these concerns that you chose to stand by my side in the Capital, hoping I would join the Demon Slayer Department. Gambling for greater gains to better secure your future in the Capital. But one can gamble, yet everyone should have their own bottom lines and stances."

Mo Ningchen smiled lightly upon hearing Su Chengyu’s wholehearted words: "People like you really aren’t suitable for today’s Demon Slayer Department."

Su Chengyu didn’t say anything; he didn’t think there was anything wrong with his words. The ruthless methods of the Demon Slayer Department had long needed to change.

"Since you are so sincere, I might as well tell you my principle of life."

"Hm?"

"One who does not act for oneself, will be obliterated by heaven and earth."
