Chapter 1499: Chapter 1500 Deploying the Su Clan

Su Chengyu was still unclear why Cui Manlou referred to Yu Yanshu as the heart of the Demonic Path, but regardless of the reasons, if the Demonic Path wanted to take Yu Yanshu away, the most basic condition was to make Yu Yanshu fall into the Demonic Path.

Su Chengyu could do his best to ensure Yu Yanshu’s safety. What he could protect, he would. For that which was beyond his power, he would seek help from Qiu Tianlin, Ye Qingci, Feng Jie Yu, and even Long Xuan who he believed owed him a favor.

To Su Chengyu, this was not a problem; although he disliked asking others for help, for Yu Yanshu, his disciple whom he owed so much, he was willing to set aside his so-called dignity for her sake.

But what he could not control was if Yu Yanshu was led astray by others and willingly entered the path of the Demonic Path.

Regarding the state of mind of Yu Yanshu, Su Chengyu could not see completely through.

For Yu Yanshu, who could see directly into people’s hearts, she was often reluctant to reveal her inner thoughts. Therefore, even Su Chengyu, who was closest to her, could not fully understand what this girl was thinking.

However, after encountering Queen Irina, who had similar abilities during their journey to Bei Luo, Su Chengyu had gained a deeper understanding of Yu Yanshu’s state of mind.

One does not recognize good without seeing evil.

But seeing only evil makes it too easy to grow disillusioned with the world.

Irina was born into the Royal Family, and merely witnessing the deceit and intrigue of the Bei Luo court could lead to Irina forming such a strong hermit-like mentality.

To Yu Yanshu, who had seen the warmth and coldness of the world, it was indeed difficult for there to be any beauty in this world.

Su Chengyu was a sanctum within Yu Yanshu’s heart, allowing her to cling to her true self for now. But what if Su Chengyu was no longer there?

To prevent the worst situation, where Yu Yanshu might be influenced by her state of mind and enter into the Demonic Path, Su Chengyu could only use indirect means, as much as possible, to let Yu Yanshu see that the world is not entirely evil.

"Okay, Yan’er understands."

Yu Yanshu nodded softly in acknowledgment. However, Su Chengyu could tell that these words were more for herself to hear.

Understanding that such matters cannot be rushed, Su Chengyu did not insist on more but turned to the house, saying, "Let’s go inside. I will meet that Su Zi then talk. Teacher..."

"Go ahead, we’ll talk later."

Seeing that Su Chengyu finally called her by that title again, she smiled, nodded, and vanished in front of the gate.

Only then did Su Chengyu breathe a sigh of relief and walked into Qilong Court.

Passing through the front hall and entering the inner courtyard, Su Chengyu immediately saw Su Zi sitting to one side.

Upon seeing Su Chengyu’s figure, Su Zi quickly stood up and performed a full curtsy, saying, "This servant pays respects to the young master."

Seeing how seriously Su Zi still took what he had said about her becoming his slave, Su Chengyu was somewhat surprised.

He had said that back then just to clarify her status. After observing Su Zi’s current aura, Su Chengyu quickly understood why she placed herself so low.

"Cold Moon Envoy, has he helped you solidify your realm?"

Su Zi nodded: "Before Cold Moon Envoy left, he helped me to mend the internal deficiency caused by the leakage of Spiritual Energy. However, it will take a long time to recover to my former strength and realm."

Su Zi appeared at the Demon Slayer Department initially with the prowess of the eighth level of the Hollow Vacuum Realm.

But Ye Qingci’s sword directly hurled him down to the first level of the Hollow Vacuum, and his body became like a funnel; no matter how much of nature’s spiritual energy he absorbed, it would quickly dissipate from within his body.

That was the real reason for Su Zi’s complete despair; typically, a fall from grace, even with fundamental injuries, does not rule out the possibility of returning to the peak.

Throughout history, many Earth Immortals have even managed to break through and stand even higher after a fall, finding their own paths into the Earth Immortal Realm.

But for Su Zi’s condition, it was not only about breaking and then standing again—he could not even hope to recover to his original state.

Of course, Ye Qingci’s sword strike was not without restraint; Su Zi knew that if the Su Clan was willing to make an effort, it would be enough for him to recover, at the very least to have the opportunity to cultivate anew.

However, the Su Clan decided that the cost of healing Su Zi was tantamount to nurturing a young successor with the potential to become an Earth Immortal, so the Su Clan gave up on Su Zi, who they never believed had a chance at reaching the Earth Immortal Realm in the first place.

Realizing this, Su Zi had no choice but to turn to Su Chengyu.

"Master, this is the compensation gift from the Su Clan over this period of time."

Yu Yanshu brought over a neatly arranged list of gifts. Su Chengyu gave it a brief glance, then set it aside, looking at Su Zi and saying.

"You’ve been quite diligent."

Su Zi let out a sigh of relief in his heart and softly replied, "The young master has entrusted me with an important task; I dare not neglect it. Once the young master returns to the Capital City to officially succeed as the Saint Envoy, I will also request a congratulatory gift for the young master from the Su Clan."

Naturally, the Su Clan hoped to settle their past with Su Chengyu; after all, the Su Clan’s influence in the Capital City wasn’t significant. The higher Su Chengyu’s position, the more the Su Clan had to consider how to dissolve their animosity.

However, Su Chengyu understood that accepting too little from the Su Clan might put them at ease, but accepting too much might make them feel he was insatiable.

After contemplating for a while, Su Chengyu spoke directly: "There’s no need for a congratulatory gift; the Su Clan has already given up plenty. It would be better for you to find a way to become the person in charge of the Su Clan’s affairs in the Capital City as soon as possible."

Although Su Zi had been staying in the Capital City under the pretext of healing, the Su Clan had been dragging their feet on appointing a person in charge of the Capital City’s affairs, and a major reason was Su Zi’s injury and being regarded as a discarded pawn by the Su Clan, unworthy of a heavy responsibility.

Now that Su Zi’s injury had slightly recovered, this matter finally had a chance to be realized.

"This servant understands."

Su Zi slightly bowed, immediately grasping Su Chengyu’s intent, and raised her head to say, "Young master, this servant has thought of linking a secret passage between Su’s Mansion and Qilong Court, for the convenience of this servant’s movement. I wonder..."

"There’s no rush for this matter. And on normal days, you need not always come running here. If I am in the Capital City, I will naturally come to find you. If I’m not here, there’s no one here you can win over to your side."

With one sentence, Su Zi felt somewhat panicky; she immediately lowered her head and said, "This servant has never thought to win over those close to the young master."

Su Chengyu looked at Su Zi with a cold gaze and said, "Whether you have or haven’t, you know it in your heart, no need to explain to me."

Su Zi broke into a sweat and immediately lowered her head without daring to say another word.

Seeing that he had admonished her sufficiently, Su Chengyu continued, "Gaining my trust is actually very simple. The higher your position in the Su Clan, the more I will make use of you, and vice versa. In others’ eyes, you may be the unrivaled beauty from the Nine Heavens Beauties List, but to me, you’re just a pawn I use against the Su Clan, without any other value."

Swallowing hard, Su Zi once again performed a deep curtsy and said, "This servant understands."
