Chapter 1500: Chapter 1501: Partnerships

Su Chengyu’s return actually left Su Zi with complex feelings.

Ye Qingci had specifically sought her out before leaving the Capital City, easing her injuries, and then sent her away without any advice.

This strange behavior made Su Zi somewhat puzzled, and it was only on the brink of departure that she couldn’t help asking.

"Was it the young master who asked you to save me?"

"Otherwise? Do you think you’re worth my effort?"

With a look askance and cold words, it seemed conversing with Su Zi any further was a waste of life.

Su Zi sadly lowered her head, but still softly spoke, "I don’t understand, why does the Cold Moon Envoy care so much about a Loose Cultivator from the wilderness?"

"If you really want to know, why don’t you ask him yourself?"

Finally turning her head towards Su Zi, Ye Qingci’s expression was playful, "Don’t you still look down on him in your heart? When he returns this time, you could try to move against him. If you can kill him, I will not only not blame you, but also restore you to your peak."

Shocked, Su Zi involuntarily stepped back and said, "The Cold Moon Envoy must be joking."

"I don’t joke, especially not with you. The path is laid before you; whether you believe it or not is your dilemma, but the opportunity is once only, before I return to the Capital City. If I come back and find that you still harbor other thoughts about him, if he doesn’t kill you, I will. Now leave."

With these cold words, Ye Qingci swept Su Zi aside with a wave of his hand.

Beneath the night sky, only the bewildered Su Zi remained, lost in thought.

It was not until this moment that Su Zi felt that she had never truly seen Ye Qingci clearly and had also never understood Su Chengyu.

"Young Master."

After much thought, Su Zi finally couldn’t help herself and spoke.

Su Chengyu’s gaze shifted subtly, unaware of what Ye Qingci had said to Su Zi, he naturally couldn’t know what Su Zi was considering.

"Speak if you have something to say."

Su Zi blinked and looked at the man in front of her whose thoughts she found increasingly obscure, and softly said, "Young Master, do you intend to take revenge on the Su family?"

"Revenge?"

Su Chengyu found the word particularly grating. Indeed, he planned to act against the Su family, but it was not out of revenge—the provocations of the Su Clan towards him, Su Chengyu, could be ignored.

Su Zi’s schemes against him, and the sword from Ye Qingci, could be settled.

But banishing Su Linyuan from the family and still branding him a traitor to this day was something Su Chengyu simply could not accept.

If his grandfather could ignore everything while alive, he, Su Chengyu, could not.

"I’m just reclaiming what the Su Clan should give me."

After a moment of thought, Su Zi asked, "Does the Young Master really plan to be the enemy of the entire Su Clan?"

"Why, are you unwilling?"

Su Chengyu softly inquired, his gaze locking onto Su Zi.

Realizing Su Chengyu’s scrutiny, Su Zi immediately knelt down, speaking without hesitation.

"This servant has no such thoughts, I just find it strange why the Young Master would want this, after all... after all..."

"After all, the Ancient Clans are powerful, and antagonizing the entire Su Clan is certainly not good for me, right?"

Su Chengyu guessed what Su Zi wanted to say, interrupting directly.

To outsiders, especially those from the Su family like Su Zi, what Su Chengyu wanted to do indeed seemed hard to comprehend.

Su Chengyu was indeed a hot topic in the Capital City, but compared to the Su Clan, whose legacy spanned ten thousand years, he paled significantly.

It would not be too much to describe his challenge akin to a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot, to a mayfly shaking a tree.

Although she dare not oppose Su Chengyu’s ideas now, if Su Zi became certain that Su Chengyu was truly plotting against the entire Su Clan, she would have to find a second way out for herself.

After all, if she could betray the Su Clan for herself, she would also be willing to betray Su Chengyu to survive.

Watching Su Zi kneel without standing or speaking, Su Chengyu softly said, "Who told you that I want to make an enemy of the entire Su Clan? That I intend to uproot the Su Clan completely?"

"Is it not so?"

Su Zi looked up at Su Chengyu with even greater confusion.

Su Chengyu spoke softly, "The Demonic Path is reviving, Xia Country is in chaos, and the Ancient Clans that rarely involved themselves in Xia Country are starting their own plots. After the demon elimination assembly, various clans have begun to strengthen and consolidate their forces in the Capital City, right?"

Su Zi nodded.

This was not difficult to understand; after the demon elimination assembly, there were undercurrents within the Capital City.

The lesser aristocratic families from all over Xia Country, the extensive influence of the Qian family and Zhuang family among the central powers of the world, and the largest Nine Ancient Tribes, the Four-sided family, and so on.

They were all strengthening their networks in the Capital City, for although the Demonic Path was a common enemy for all, internal strife within the Human Clan never ceased and couldn’t be stopped.

Qian Jinchí’s departure from the Capital City was the Qian family’s advanced preparation for this situation; at that time, Su Chengyu had sensed several undercurrents.

"After the demon elimination assembly, didn’t the Su Clan face difficulty establishing a base in the Capital City and expanding their network due to making an enemy of me?"

Su Zi was startled and then nodded, "Yes, the Su Clan lost face in the life-and-death battle, and my fall in status from one of Cold Moon Envoy’s sword strikes caused even colder attitudes towards our Su Clan. Part of the reason why the Su Clan is willing to offer valuable assets to appease the Young Master is to better lay out their network in the Capital City."

Su Chengyu then looked at Su Zi and said, "That’s why I hope your position in the Su Clan rises, huh? You become the Su Clan’s representative in the Capital City, and I become your Su Clan’s mediator. Wouldn’t that be a win-win situation?"

Su Zi looked up at Su Chengyu in disbelief, "Young Master, do you want to cooperate with the Su Clan?"

Sitting in the seat of honor, Su Chengyu smiled faintly, "There are no eternal enemies in this world. I did have some issues with the Su Clan in the past, but haven’t they already made reparations? If we don’t cooperate, I won’t receive any benefits from the Su Clan later on."

As he spoke, Su Chengyu even picked up a list of compenstation from the Su Clan and waved it.

Su Zi’s gaze shifted and after a long time, she said, "Indeed, some in the Su Clan have considered joining forces with people from the Capital City, it’s just that..."

"They have not considered me, have they?"

Su Chengyu intercepted the thought Su Zi was about to express.

"I can understand; after all, there have been significant conflicts between the Su Clan and me, and I’m not considered a major figure in the Capital City. In their view, as long as I don’t interfere and make things difficult for them, they would be quite content, right?"

Su Zi nodded, "Yes, that’s the Su Clan’s current attitude towards the Young Master—keep the peace and maintain a respectful distance."

"So, this is where I need you."

As Su Chengyu watched Su Zi, who had entered his pace, a faint smile curled at the corner of his mouth. Along with his guidance, Su Zi had completely fallen into his rhythm...
