Chapter 1515: Chapter 1516: Detachment from the World

In the end, Su Chengyu did not make another trip to the Jue King’s Mansion, after all, there was no longer any necessity to visit again.

Just as Su Chengyu was told when he first entered the Cranes Return Pavilion,

the incidents that happened there would quickly spread throughout the entire Capital City.

The fact that Zhao Shijue’s subordinates had offended him and that he had personally apologized later, whether the two had reached reconciliation and what their relationship was now—let those people speculate on those matters.

But one thing was certain: the name of the Tian Heng Saint Envoy, due to the Cranes Return Pavilion incident, had quickly become well-known among the higher echelons of Capital City’s elite.

News of Su Chengyu, who had disappeared for three months, returning to Capital City also spread throughout the entire city.

"You brat, you’re back and you didn’t come to find me proactively; don’t you consider me a brother?" Yang Junmo said cursing and murmuring as Su Chengyu entered Qilong Court.

Su Chengyu looked at Yang Junmo, whose strength had not changed at all during the three months and spoke in a nearly soft voice, "Isn’t it because I was afraid of delaying your cultivation? After all, our Young Master Yang’s hard work these past three months hasn’t led to any improvement. I wouldn’t dare to disturb you."

"Are you mocking me? Don’t think that just because you can beat me now I wouldn’t dare to pound you!" Yang Junmo said, feigning anger.

Su Chengyu blinked and asked, "Are you really not planning on advancing your realm anymore?"

Yang Junmo’s gaze shifted as he evaded the topic, "Why talk about these things? You’ve finally come back. Come on, let’s go have a drink with your brother."

Wrapping his arm around Su Chengyu’s shoulder, Yang Junmo was about to lead him away.

However, Su Chengyu stood still and spoke seriously, "The Yang Junmo I used to know wasn’t like this."

That made Yang Junmo frown, looking at Su Chengyu dissatisfied, "Wasn’t I always like this? I..."

"You, just like me and Lin An, have reached the top of the Ascending Heaven Tower, and when you were in the Kunwu Realm, you were also zealous in cultivating the Divine Dragon Treasure Technique. I can understand if your realm hasn’t improved in three months, but what about the Divine Dragon Treasure Technique? Have you cultivated any other techniques or methods?"

In three months, not only had Yang Junmo’s realm not changed at all, but he had also regressed in other areas, which was different from the Yang Junmo who had been indifferent to realm cultivation before. The Yang Junmo of today was clearly resisting.

Faced with Su Chengyu’s question, Yang Junmo did not answer.

Su Chengyu pressed, "So, is it because of Lin Ran?"

Yang Junmo glanced at Su Chengyu: "Why do you always manage to hit people where it hurts?"

Yu Yanshu, who had noticed the mood between the two early on, brought over a pot of liquor and placed it on the stone table in the courtyard.

Su Chengyu poured the liquor into a cup and continued, "Drinking? I can do that right here, with liquor from the Su Clan’s century-old cellar."

Though still at a distance, the aroma of the liquor drifted to Yang Junmo, but he replied somewhat reluctantly,

"What’s the point of just drinking? We should obviously go and find some fun."

"Should I call Su Zi over to dance for us, to liven things up?"

At that, Yang Junmo looked at Su Chengyu with a face full of shock, then approached the stone table and said, "That Su Zi, he hasn’t been taken down by you too, has he?"

Su Chengyu cast him a glance and said, "I’m not such a wanton person. This guy just wants to restore his strength, and now he’s completely submitted. It’s more that I’ve benefited from Ye Qingci’s influence."

Although Su Chengyu said this, knowing that he was just being polite, Yang Junmo couldn’t help but raise his thumb and say, "You’re badass."

After gulping down the strong liquor, Su Chengyu teased, "If you’re so interested, I’ll actually have someone come over."

"No, no, no, you want to provoke the Su Clan, but I’m not up for all that. Right now, I just want to live out the rest of my life in a drunken stupor, that would be enough for me."

Su Chengyu blinked and looked at Yang Junmo before asking again, "So you’re really not interested in continuing your cultivation, are you?"

Knowing that he couldn’t avoid the question, Yang Junmo swirled his wine cup and said softly, "What’s the point of training to death or life? With my current realm, as long as I don’t run into monsters like you, I’m mostly strong enough, and besides..."

"And besides, with those power struggles in the Capital City and people from the Ancient Clan getting involved, you don’t want to be mixed up in it either, right?"

Yang Junmo glanced at Su Chengyu and said, "Why do you have to bring all this up, man? Can we still be brothers if you do?"

"It’s precisely because I consider you a brother that I’m talking to you about this."

Su Chengyu spoke with seriousness.

If it were anyone else who wanted to degenerate themselves, Su Chengyu couldn’t care less.

Cultivation is a personal matter after all. Apart from the most special Path-Protectors and Teachers in the path of cultivation, your practice has nothing to do with anyone else.

"But it really is tiring, I’m afraid of becoming another Lin Ran. I’m scared that the harder I try and the more I realize I can’t catch up to my brother, I’ll also..."

"You won’t."

Su Chengyu said with conviction, and Yang Junmo looked at him puzzled.

"I understand your worries about taking the wrong path, your fears of one day having to split with your family over the path of cultivation. But I have more faith that you’re a person with your own principles. You have your own sense of right and wrong and you’ll definitely not take the same path as Lin Ran."

"But what if they go?"

Yang Junmo’s words left Su Chengyu stunned in place.

They?

Su Chengyu knew that Yang Junmo’s reference to ’they’ couldn’t mean himself or those from the Earth Heart Lotus Group.

The question asked by Yang Junmo was about Lin Ran, his own biological brother, Yang Qianyan and Yang Chengyin.

Su Chengyu was somewhat shaken inside and he asked instinctively, "What are you talking about?"

Yang Junmo gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and said, "It’s nothing, forget it, just leave me be. I’m fine this way. I can handle the small stuff, and when it comes to the big issues, it’s not for someone like me to worry about."

Su Chengyu hesitated before speaking; he wanted to say something further, but upon reaching his lips, he didn’t know how to begin.

He could probably guess what Yang Junmo’s real concerns were. He must have uncovered some secret about Yang Qianyan or Yang Chengyin, which is why Yang Junmo didn’t want to further increase his realm and continue to wade deeper into the mire, lest one day he would be forced to confront his closest family with sword in hand.

If Su Chengyu were an outsider, he might be able to give a word of advice, but Su Chengyu himself was a player in this game.

After all, how should he behave on the day when he inevitably falls out with Yang Chengyin?

"Su Chengyu, do you think Lin Ran considered the possibility of his family becoming ruined, even to the point of crossing swords with them, when he chose to join the Demonic Path?"

Su Chengyu maintained his silence.

Yang Junmo continued, "I think he did. The Lin Ran I know would definitely consider that. So even now, I have a lot of respect for Lin Ran. At least, I can’t make that choice."
