Chapter 1436: Chapter 1437 The Only Concept

Xu Zijing’s answer made Su Chengyu subconsciously arch his eyebrows; he clearly understood Xu Zijing’s meaning, but understanding was one thing, actually doing it was another.

"Perhaps as you say, doing so might indeed make things go smoother, but it also increases the risk..."

"Risk? What risk?"

Xu Zijing interrupted Su Chengyu bluntly: "Within the Demon Slayer Department, Mo Ningchen certainly won’t be the most loyal one, neither to the Demon Slayer Department nor to Xia Country. You understand this, I am clear on it, and the Sect Master is acutely aware. But when it comes to official business, as long as he’s brought into the open, he will naturally make a decision among risks, just like how he decided to bet on you in the first place."

Su Chengyu said with a heavy tone: "But in doing so, the relationship between him and me will completely have no room for easing."

"Do you have one now?"

Xu Zijing counter-asked: "Different paths do not lead to common goals. I can understand your thinking, but since you’re joining the Demon Slayer Department, you’ll inevitably have to interact with all the Demon Slayer Saints, including me. Right now you can indeed keep to yourselves, but what about in the future? In this regard, you’re not as perceptive as Mo Ningchen."

Su Chengyu fell silent and looked towards the other side of the room: "Mo Ningchen already views me as a thorn in his side?"

"At least, his relationship with Yang Qianyan should return to how it was in the past."

This sentence not only told Su Chengyu that Mo Ningchen harbored even greater hostility towards him than he thought.

It also made Su Chengyu understand that Yang Qianyan had never let down his guard against him.

"Lone Star Saint Envoy, you’re here representing the Sect Master, right?"

"We all are. Representing the Demon Slayer Department."

Xu Zijing’s casual words glossed over what Su Chengyu implied.

"The Demon Slayer Department is not just for the Sect Master alone. I know you share ideals with the Cold Moon Envoy, and have many opinions about the current Demon Slayer Department, but as long as I’m in the Demon Slayer Department, it will not become the possession of Yang Chengyin."

The way Xu Zijing directly called Yang Chengyin by name for the first time surprised Su Chengyu immensely.

This also made Su Chengyu sure of one thing: not all the Demon Slayer Saints are united behind Yang Chengyin.

Inside the Demon Slayer Department, there were people like Ye Qingci who had numerous grievances with the Department, as well as people like Xu Zijing, whom the Royal Family had personally embedded into the Department to thwart Yang Chengyin.

On the side, a certain officer heard everything but appeared to ignore it, as if these internal struggles of the Demon Slayer Department had nothing to do with her.

But it was precisely because of this that allowed Xu Zijing and Su Chengyu to discuss these matters in her presence without any reservation.

Of course, the most important aspect was still You Ming and Xu Zijing’s connection with Red Flame; as the person in Xia Country who solely struck a deal with the Nether Clan High Priest Red Flame, Xu Zijing was too special in many ways.

"Thank you for the guidance, Holy Envoy of Shocking Dragon."

Su Chengyu took a deep breath and did not continue to argue.

He had to admit, in terms of perspective on the Demon Slayer Department, his broad view was far behind compared to that of Xu Zijing who had taken root in the Department early on.

"Just a small matter. Regarding your trip to Bei Luo Empire, you’ve done very well. Being able to gradually take control of the situation from Mo Ningchen’s hands and finding a method to break the stalemate, you’ve accepted a fortune that fills the sky. Of course, whether you can hold onto it after accepting it still depends on your own ability."

Su Chengyu’s heart sank, understanding that Xu Zijing was referring to Bei Luo Empire’s current attitude towards him.

The current ambiguous relationship between Su Chengyu and Bei Luo was even more significant than Xu Zijing’s back in the days.

Irina’s actions in the Bei Luo Great Hall would inevitably spread to Xia Country, which would undoubtedly be a very bad thing for him, someone who had just joined the Demon Slayer Department not long ago.

"Tonight, I will represent the Demon Slayer Department along with Yang Qianyan to meet with Queen Irina."

"Discussing the follow-up arrangements with the Bam Alliance?"

Xu Zijing nodded and looked towards the direction of the Thousand Tents Palace: "You don’t need to worry too much, with the groundwork you laid during the day, everything else will naturally fall into place."

Su Chengyu nodded; indeed, there was nothing else that concerned him.

After all, Xu Zijing’s arrival meant something extraordinary for the Bei Luo Empire.

"I will secure a reward for you as a commendation for the numerous contributions you three have made since entering Bei Luo. The department will not scrutinize this matter; feel free to ask for anything you desire."

"Anything at all?"

Su Chengyu asked, somewhat surprised; he had specifically inquired about this with You Ming before.

Xu Zijing nodded: "Of course, if you have the skill to make that girl Irina hand over the National Protector Saint Tool to you, then it’s all thanks to your ability. The Demon Slayer Department won’t demand that you hand it into the royal treasury."

Su Chengyu rolled his eyes; he knew that it was impossible. If he truly took the Holy Artifact, then the hidden dangers that Irina would face when facing the Nether Clan after her ascension would clearly have to be borne by him alone.

That was not something that Su Chengyu could do at this time.

"Thank you, Holy Envoy of Shocking Dragon."

"There’s no need; this is what you deserve. The Honored One is also aware of this matter. Upon your return to Xia Country and barring any unforeseen events, you will officially become the Holy Envoy of Shocking Dragon."

"Will I succeed Red Flame or Cang Xue?"

The one who inquired was the nearby You Ming.

However, Xu Zijing just smiled and shook his head, speaking softly: "You will naturally know when the time comes."

After dropping these words, Xu Zijing turned around and left the place.

And at the doorway, Yang Qianyan, who had been waiting for a long time, was already there.

With his hands clasping his sword, Yang Qianyan’s gaze slightly lifted when he sensed the door opening and fell upon Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu gave a nod and said, "I have seen the Lone Star Saint Envoy."

Yang Qianyan nodded without saying much and turned around to leave Su Chengyu’s residence with Xu Zijing.

You Ming watched all this and said in a low voice: "You’re really strange. You’re not even a formal Saint Envoy yet, but everyone’s attitude towards you is quite peculiar."

Su Chengyu chuckled: "The undercurrents within the Capital are even more obscure than the secret schemes of those underground organizations in Bei Luo. Since I’m immersed in this, I naturally become part of the storm."

"Not the center of the storm?"

You Ming retorted.

Su Chengyu shook his head without replying, and You Ming couldn’t be bothered to ask further.

For her, the internal strife within the Demon Slayer Department was unimportant, and the intricate intricacies of the Capital were also of no concern to her. Knowing her own special status very well, the most important thing for her was to resolve the issues between the Nether Clan and the Human Clan completely.

Either to forever seal the Nether Clan within the Dark Sea or to eradicate them entirely.

This was the only way for her, a Nether Mixed-blood, to survive in this world.
