Chapter 1501: Chapter 1502: A Thorn in the Eye

Su Chengyu looked towards Su Zi, with a slight upturn of his lips: "Lone Star Yang Qianyan from the Demon Slayer Department, Jinglong Xu Zijing, any guard among the top five of the Dragon Soul Guard, or princes like Prince Jue, they are all better choices than me. But the Su Clan has already fallen behind by more than just one step, hasn’t it?"

Su Zi remained silent, which was as good as confirming Su Chengyu’s words.

Only then did he continue: "Before, I may not have been able to join the second-tier ranks, but once my appointment as the Saint Envoy becomes official, entering that circle should not be too difficult. Of course, I understand that my foundation is shallower compared to others upon my initial arrival in the Capital City, but doesn’t this also show that I have greater potential?"

After listening to Su Chengyu’s words, Su Zi bit her lower lip, still finding it difficult to say: "Even so, it’s highly unlikely that the Su Clan would choose to work with you. There are quite a few objections to you from the Su Clan’s side."

"What do you think is the purpose of your existence?"

With that one sentence, Su Chengyu forcefully pushed back Su Zi’s doubts.

Su Zi looked up at Su Chengyu and finally realized that she was at a loss for words. Su Chengyu continued: "I can’t reach the first-tier ranks, at least not in the short term; it’s definitely not a height that an outsider like me can reach. The Su Clan today also cannot establish connections with those from the first-tier circles of the Capital City. Either they already have their partners, or they are simply impossible to cooperate with."

Yang Qianyan, Mo Ningchen, and several princes belong to the former, whereas Xu Zijing, and Ye Qingci are clearly the latter.

"And in the second tier, if you can’t even secure this benefit for me, then you have no reason to exist."

With that one sentence, Su Chengyu gave this matter a definitive conclusion, and he turned to Su Zi for the last time: "Be clear that I’m not here to discuss with you. I’m merely telling you what I need you to do."

A chill flashed deep inside Su Zi’s heart.

Although Su Chengyu didn’t explicitly state it, she had understood the meaning behind his words.

If she couldn’t achieve what Su Chengyu wanted, even if Su Chengyu wouldn’t take action against her, Ye Qingci would no longer help her restore her strength.

For her to cultivate back to the eighth level of the Hollow Vacuum Realm now would be exceedingly difficult.

Taking a deep breath, Su Zi looked up at Su Chengyu and finally asked: "May I dare to ask, how strong are you now, young master?"

"I am about to step into the Late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm."

The Late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm...

Su Zi fell silent, this realm was definitely not low.

Already close to the level of the Demon Slayer Saint Mo Ningchen, except Mo Ningchen has been fighting in the Capital City for many years and, with his extensive social connections, it’s not impossible for him to stand as a partner even in the first-tier ranks, let alone the top of the second tier.

"As for my true level, you could say it’s comparable to your own before your fall."

The additional comment made Su Zi look up in surprise, clearly in disbelief as she looked at Su Chengyu.

Naturally, she was aware that Su Chengyu’s real strength can’t be fully measured by realm. Becoming a Demon Slayer Saint means each one can fight beyond their level, even above their classification.

But her past self was at the eighth level of the Hollow Vacuum Realm, and being born in the Su Clan, she was not someone that a regular Hollow Vacuum eighth-leveler could compare to. How could she believe Su Chengyu’s words?

"I have no need to lie. I’m telling you this just to give you some reassurance. I understand that the Su Clan won’t believe me anyway. Also, don’t evaluate my level with your standards, you are not Long Xuan and definitely not Ye Qingci. You are not qualified."

With the appearance of a Celestial Being, even now, Su Chengyu still harbored some grudges against Long Xuan and had to admit that having mastered the Power of the Great Dao, his strength might even surpass Ye Qingci.

And for Ye Qingci, he was not only an elder but also one of the closest people to Su Chengyu; even if she’s no longer an Earth Immortal, one shouldn’t arbitrarily judge her strength. But what was Su Zi?

Understanding Su Chengyu’s intention, Su Zi immediately bowed her head and took a deep breath, saying: "This servant understands. Whether or not the young master has this power, just this confidence alone is something this servant could not compare to back then."

Was Su Zi not confident?

Of course not.

Among those on the Nine Heavens Beauties List, apart from the transcendent Imperial Concubine Chen, which one didn’t have some strength to back them up?

In the eyes of the Su Clan of the past, apart from Long Xuan, even Ye Qingci was not considered to be much stronger than her.

But even so, she had never thought of comparing herself to Long Xuan.

Although it was difficult for her not to doubt Su Chengyu’s words internally, an undeniable fact was that the person before her really had surpassed Long Xuan in strength within the same realm, who had never suffered a defeat.

"Then, can this matter be accomplished?"

"This servant will not disappoint the young master’s trust."

Su Chengyu nodded towards Su Zi and said: "Go, it’s best to find a way to stay in the Capital City. Even if you can’t become the Su Clan’s person in charge there, it would be a good thing for both you and me for you to stay in the Capital City."

"This servant understands."

Having finished all instructions, Su Zi did not continue to linger in Qilong Court and quickly left Qilong Court after concealing her aura.

Once her figure completely disappeared, Qiu Tianlin suddenly appeared beside Su Chengyu.

"Are you planning to make a move against the Su Clan?"

Su Chengyu immediately got up and gave a deep bow: "Teacher."

Qiu Tianlin waved his hand and said with a serious expression: "Frankly speaking, even if you are about to officially take over as Saint Envoy, it is still too early to act against the Su Clan. And this time returning to the Capital, the dangers you face will be greater than before, and I can’t help you much either."

"I’m aware. Zhuang Yihan has already advised me of this when I entered the Capital. That’s exactly why I wish to have Su Zi establish a connection between me and the Su Clan."

Qiu Tianlin’s eyes shifted, and he seemed to understand: "You wish to use the reputation of the Su Clan?"

Su Chengyu nodded: "They owe Grandfather so much, what’s wrong with collecting some interest? Teacher, don’t worry. I know it’s still too early to approach the Su Clan actively. This move is partly for future planning and it is also to relieve the current pressing situation. With the Su Clan’s involvement, even if the Royal Family wishes to act against me, they will have to weigh their options."

Qiu Tianlin nodded slightly, now clearly satisfied with Su Chengyu’s move.

"It does seem like a good choice. Speaking of which, you say so because you have foreseen the Royal Family will act against you, right?"

Su Chengyu paused for a second, then shook his head: "No, that was just an offhand example. The Imperial Concubine Chen is still planning to act against me?"

Qiu Tianlin shook his head: "Not Imperial Concubine Chen, but the Heavenly Son."

"The Heavenly Son?"

Qiu Tianlin’s words made Su Chengyu immediately realize the seriousness of the situation, and he frowned briefly before quickly grasping the key point.

"Is it because of Lin An?"
