Chapter 1435: Chapter 1436: Good, But Not Enough

Good but Not Enough

"Su Chengyu?"

A voice transmission from the ground reached outside the Thousand Tents Palace, and only then did Su Chengyu stop in his tracks and see Mo Ningchen, covered in blood. He immediately leapt down and spoke.

"Saint Envoy Qian Jun, are you alright?"

Mo Ningchen waved his hand: "What could be wrong with me? I was just dealing with some minor characters, nothing as dangerous as your venture into the Thousand Tents Palace."

Su Chengyu looked at the body of a High Priest from the Nether Clan nearby, knowing that what Mo Ningchen did was not as easy as he claimed.

However, Su Chengyu also understood that if there really were a threat to his life, Mo Ningchen would definitely not stay here and fight to the death.

"This is a Knight Medal issued by the Bei Luo Empire."

Su Chengyu handed the medal to Mo Ningchen, who glanced at it and chuckled lightly: "A useless trinket. I know that even with this, I cannot compare to your current status in the Bei Luo Empire, let alone Xu Zijing."

Mo Ningchen was very clear about all this; there was some jealousy, but he understood what wasn’t his would never be.

Su Chengyu said no more, only sharing the news from Mount Belsar with Mo Ningchen.

Mo Ningchen pondered for a moment: "So, it looks like our trip to Bei Luo was a complete victory?"

Su Chengyu shook his head: "The Demonic Path always lurks in the shadows. Although this is all the doing of the Bam Alliance, with the Demonic Path and Nether Clan joining forces, the Demonic Path is more like the instigator rather than the real contributor."

"That Cui Manlou..."

Mo Ningchen narrowed his eyes, his speech revealing his wariness of Cui Manlou.

"This man acts eccentrically, appearing in the Bei Luo Empire must have other motives, and the likelihood that he targeted you might also have other reasons."

Between the lines, he was vaguely hinting at Su Chengyu, obviously wanting to probe for more information from him.

Realizing the other’s intent, Su Chengyu turned his head: "Indeed, but unfortunately we don’t have any clues now. Let’s wait until we return to the Sect to plan."

"Hmm."

Mo Ningchen responded calmly, not hurriedly. Through their journey together, he fully understood what kind of person Su Chengyu was, and now that Su Chengyu had rescued the Bei Luo Royal Family and was bound to officially become a Demon Slayer Saint, he naturally wouldn’t make unnecessary complications.

On the way back with Mo Ningchen, Su Chengyu briefly explained what happened inside the Thousand Tents Palace and reported on You Ming’s situation, but did not divulge too many secrets about himself and the Bei Luo Empire to Mo Ningchen.

Mo Ningchen understood this well and did not press further.

Suddenly, Su Chengyu looked at Mo Ningchen: "Big Brother Mo, have you ever regretted supporting my joining the Demon Slayer Department?"

"Regret?"

Mo Ningchen was startled for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "What’s there to regret? I just showed support with a gesture, I didn’t really do anything. Since you surpassed Long Xuan and survived, joining the Demon Slayer Department is an unshakable matter. Not to mention..."

His words trailed off; discussing Feng Jie Yu causing havoc in the Capital City was a forbidden topic.

The incident involved high-profile figures beyond what most people could discuss, even Su Chengyu, who was there at the time, wouldn’t talk about it in public settings.

"Oh right, Big Brother Mo, stop calling me that way, just use official titles, it’s not that I’m prejudiced against you, it’s just that..."

"I understand."

Su Chengyu spoke calmly, and with their plain conversation, a decision was already made.

After reaching their lodging, Mo Ningchen nodded to Su Chengyu before returning to his own room without having more interactions.

Upon returning, he immediately set up a Prohibition, and Su Chengyu released You Ming from the small world.

Regaining consciousness from the descent of the Nether God, You Ming, now awake, looked around the room with only Su Chengyu present and asked curiously: "You and Saint Envoy Qian Jun..."

"Our paths just differ, that’s all. It can’t really be said there are any conflicts, much less talk of enemies or hatred. At least, it’s like this for now."

"Oh."

You Ming spoke indifferently, not asking further.

She was merely curious about the current relationship between Su Chengyu and Mo Ningchen, and not so much about how it developed into such a state.

"Has everything concluded at Thousand Tents Palace?"

Upon receiving the medal handed by Su Chengyu, You Ming spoke with surprise.

"Yes, if all goes as planned, there should still be a reward coming. A portion will be for the Demon Slayer Department, and another portion should be for us personally, this commendation..."

"As long as it’s received, just report it to the department. If you don’t want to report, that’s okay too, just don’t let anyone know, including me."

You Ming quickly grasped Su Chengyu’s intention and spoke directly.

"Thank you."

Su Chengyu spoke gratefully.

You Ming looked out the window, noticing something that made her slightly frown and softly said.

"Xu Zijing is here."

"Is the Sect Master also here?"

Su Chengyu asked impulsively, then a powerful aura instantly enveloped the room, and Xu Zijing’s voice rang out directly.

"The Sect Master hasn’t arrived, it’s just me and Lone Star representing the Demon Slayer Department."

Su Chengyu unexpectedly looked up, thinking that his private conversation within the wards had been overheard by Xu Zijing, wondering how Xu Zijing could have done it, when Xu Zijing continued.

"Don’t worry, I can’t breach your wards to know what you were discussing. This comment is merely an assumption based on your personality. If I guessed wrong, pretend I didn’t say anything."

Su Chengyu silently looked at You Ming, who softly said, "The Holy Envoy of Shocking Dragon often communicates unilaterally, and most of the time these one-sided communications seem like a dialogue."

Su Chengyu, having reminisced about his past experiences in Capital City and Kun County, somewhat understood.

"Open the door."

A while later, the voice rose again, and Su Chengyu opened the door. Dressed in a scholar’s robe, Xu Zijing walked in, glanced at the two, and first spoke to You Ming.

"Have you invoked the Nether God?"

You Ming hesitated upon hearing this, then her eyes shifted away in silence.

Seeing her reaction, Xu Zijing softly said, "This isn’t a guess, I noticed it, Red Eye Elder specifically instructed me about this."

"Don’t tell Mother."

Xu Zijing shook his head at her words, "Sorry, I’ve already promised Red Eye Elder; if you used it, I must tell her."

The conversation between the two drew Su Chengyu’s concern, who instinctively said, "Is invoking the Nether God also a method that consumes life span?"

Xu Zijing shook his head, "It’s even more complicated than that. Red Eye Elder didn’t elaborate, but it’s evident she sincerely doesn’t want you to use this method."

You Ming’s eyes shifted aside, "You don’t need to worry about this matter, since you have to tell Mother, I’ll talk to her personally."

Xu Zijing sighed helplessly, refraining from further comment, then looked at Su Chengyu and hesitated briefly before saying, "Well done, but it’s not enough."

Su Chengyu, taking it seriously, looked at Xu Zijing, "Please advise Holy Envoy of Shocking Dragon, in what ways it is not enough."

Xu Zijing calmly said, "If I were you, I would make better use of Mo Ningchen. With Mo Ningchen’s help, your task of bringing Irina back to Thousand Tents Palace would proceed much more smoothly."
