Chapter 1507: Chapter 1508: Lin An’s Gift

Xu Zijing’s sudden arrival caught almost everyone present by surprise, including Mo Ningchen, who slightly furrowed his brows, clearly not expecting Xu Zijing to appear here.

"Zijing, why have you come?"

Yang Chengyin’s expression remained calm, but he still asked Xu Zijing about the reason for his visit.

Xu Zijing turned his head to glance at Su Chengyu and then softly spoke, "To the Honored One, it was His Majesty who sent me here. Upon learning of Saint Envoy Su Chengyu’s return, he instructed me to deliver this item to the Demon Slayer Department."

Ever since Su Chengyu entered the door, Yang Chengyin, whose expression had never changed, furrowed his brows for the first time.

Soon, Xu Zijing produced a specially made token from his hands, presenting it with both hands in front of him.

The moment they saw the token, the color drained from the faces of the elders in the Demon Slayer Department gathered in the grand hall, turning rather strange.

Their glances crisscrossed each other, and their expressions even carried a hint of fear.

And on that peculiar token, Su Chengyu too sensed a familiar aura.

Yang Chengyin took a deep breath, his face grave as he looked at Xu Zijing and said, "Does His Majesty truly think that this token should be given to Su Chengyu?"

Xu Zijing nodded: "His Majesty has decided on this matter. If the Honored One doubts it, you may personally go to the Imperial Palace to find out."

Yang Chengyin’s brows were tightly knit as he did not speak, but his gaze towards Su Chengyu became increasingly strange and cold.

Su Chengyu was baffled. He was aware that the Demon Slayer Department’s opposition towards him must have been tacitly approved by Yang Chengyin, or even deliberately arranged by him, yet Yang Chengyin had never shown such blatant hostility towards him before.

If it weren’t for the fact that this was a public place and in front of Xu Zijing, Su Chengyu would suspect that Yang Chengyin wanted to personally take action to suppress him.

No, this hostility is not directed at me, but at that token.

However, before Su Chengyu could ask for the reason, Xu Zijing preemptively stated, "Substitute Holy Envoy Su Chengyu, heed the imperial decree. For your distinguished services in quelling the Bei Luo chaos, effective immediately, you are promoted from Substitute Holy Envoy to become one of the Twelve Saint Envoys of the Demon Slaying Office, with the conferred title... Tian Heng."

Tian Heng?

The fact that he was going to become an official Saint Envoy was something Su Chengyu had naturally expected.

But the Twelve Holy Emissaries, their titles were inherited in succession.

Jinglong, Moon Han, Lone Star, Red Flame, Miaofeng, You Ming, Qian Jun, Split Sky, Xue Tu, Cang Xue, Huang Quan.

Among the twelve titles that Su Chengyu knew, there was simply no title of Tian Heng.

"Su Chengyu, won’t you receive the token?"

Xu Zijing spoke softly, addressing Su Chengyu.

So rapid were the turns of events that Su Chengyu, completely caught off guard, subconsciously turned his gaze towards Yang Chengyin.

Noticing Su Chengyu’s look, Yang Chengyin narrowed his eyes and spoke, "What are you looking at me for? Since it is bestowed by His Majesty, simply accept it."

Su Chengyu nodded and then extended both hands, and the specially made token slowly fell into his grasp.

"Congratulations, you have finally become a Demon Slayer Bureau Emissary as you wished."

Xu Zijing approached Su Chengyu and quietly said.

However, facing Xu Zijing’s congratulations, Su Chengyu couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss. He looked again at Yang Chengyin and softly spoke, "Sect Master, about the matter concerning Bei Luo..."

"The Heavenly Son has recognized you, what else is there for me to pursue?"

Yang Chengyin spoke in a level tone, his words carrying a slight mockery that was poorly concealed.

Growing more certain of his inner conjecture, Su Chengyu glanced at the token in his hand and said, "Sect Master, is there something special about this token?"

"There’s nothing special, it’s merely an ancient Saint Envoy title that hasn’t been activated for a long time. If there’s anything different, it’s probably that this token was bestowed by the late emperor."

Su Chengyu was stunned for a moment and blurted out subconsciously: "Then its previous owner..."

"There’s no need for you to know."

Yang Chengyin spoke coldly, cutting off Su Chengyu’s question.

Su Chengyu forcibly swallowed his words and changed the subject: "Then about the matter regarding me and Empress Irina..."

"The so-called Tian Heng represents the authority of the Heavenly Son. Since His Majesty has bestowed this token upon you, naturally he trusts you to do nothing that could harm the interests of Xia Country. Elders, do you have any further questions?"

Yang Chengyin’s gaze swept over the many Elders of the Demon Slayer Department, and Su Chengyu could feel that Yang Chengyin deliberately said these words, hoping someone would continue to press Su Chengyu with further inquiries.

However, none of these aged members of the Demon Slayer Department dared to speak up at this moment. A few Elders who had previously questioned Su Chengyu attempted to speak, but after their eyes fell on the token in Su Chengyu’s hand, they forcefully shut their mouths.

Were they afraid?

Were they afraid to continue questioning and defy the will of the Heavenly Son, or were they afraid of the token itself?

Su Chengyu looked down at the token in his hand; if it was the latter, then this token must have been an item once held by his grandfather, Su Linyuan.

Indeed, only something that belonged to his grandfather could instill such deep respect and awe in these venerable members of the Demon Slayer Department.

"Very well, since there are no more questions, from today forth, Su Chengyu is officially one of our Demon Slayer Department’s Saint Envoys."

Yang Chengyin’s definitive statement closed the matter, and Su Chengyu turned and gave Yang Chengyin a slight bow.

Seeing Su Chengyu bowing, Yang Chengyin chuckled, "The emperor’s trust is hard to come by, make sure you do not disappoint His Majesty."

"Do not worry, Sect Master, I dare not claim to be completely upright and transparent, but in this life, I will definitely do nothing that harms the interests of Xia Country."

"I hope so."

Those simple four words caused Su Chengyu’s eyebrows to furrow.

You should know that even when the Elders of the Demon Slayer Department were questioning him just now, Yang Chengyin tried to remain neutral. Now these words clearly indicated that Yang Chengyin regarded Su Chengyu as a thorn in his side.

This token, it seems, is even hotter to handle than I thought.

"Sect Master, regarding the matter of Su Chengyu’s three-person mission to Bei Luo..."

Before Xu Zijing could finish, Yang Chengyin interrupted him directly.

"I have important matters to attend to, discuss this issue with the Dragon Registrar. Qian Jun."

"At your service."

"Come with me."

"Yes."

With a wave of his hand and a swirling black cloak obscuring his figure, Yang Chengyin and Mo Ningchen almost simultaneously vanished from the great hall.

Following Yang Chengyin’s departure, the Elders of the Demon Slayer Bureau also found excuses to leave the hall one after another.

However, before leaving, their gazes - more or less - lingered for a moment on Su Chengyu, the newly appointed Saint Envoy.

"Su Chengyu, how do you find this gift?"

Su Chengyu bitterly smiled, at a loss for words for a moment.

Seeing this, Xu Zijing chuckled lightly: "What? You don’t like the special gift Lin An prepared just for you?"
