Chapter 1528: Chapter 1529: Su Clan Martial God

"May I ask whom you’re looking for?"

A middle-aged steward, upon seeing the young Su Chengyu, promptly approached him with a polite greeting.

Although there was a basic respect in his words, Su Chengyu could see the disdain the steward held toward him as a youth.

Su Chengyu did not take offense and quietly said, "Prince Jue."

"Do you have an appointment?".

"No."

Su Chengyu spoke quite directly; his visit this time was indeed unexpected, and he had not made an appointment with Zhao Shijue in advance.

"Without an appointment, I’m afraid it might be inconvenient at the moment, as Prince Jue is currently..."

"My surname is Su."

"Su? A distinguished guest of the Su Clan?"

"No."

The steward’s eyebrows furrowed as something occurred to him, and he began to speak tremulously, "Could it be, the newly appointed Emissary of the Demon Slayer Bureau, Lord Tian Heng?"

"Yes."

"I didn’t recognize Taishan; I beg the Saint Envoy not to take it to heart!"

The steward was on the verge of tears and almost ready to kneel on the spot; fortunately, Su Chengyu did not take much offense and casually said, "Hurry and announce my arrival."

"Please wait a moment, Saint Envoy."

The middle-aged steward rushed into the residence, and after a short while, Su Chengyu saw Zhao Shijue himself, accompanied by the steward, coming to the gate to meet him, clearly surprised and placing great importance on Su Chengyu’s unexpected visit.

Zhao Shijue hurried over and then asked somewhat eagerly, "Brother Su, I apologize for not knowing about your visit; therefore..."

"I have something to discuss; we can talk inside."

Su Chengyu cut straight to the chase; although his current alliance with Zhao Shijue wasn’t exactly solid, contacting Master Chang Chun through him was an utmost matter for Su Chengyu at the moment.

Without finding a suitable Path-Protector, Su Chengyu was always uneasy about Bai Huang and Yu Yanshu setting out alone for training.

Seeing Su Chengyu’s grave expression, Zhao Shijue immediately stepped aside, saying, "Please, come in."

Zhao Shijue’s Siheyuan residence was located on one of the most bustling streets in the heart of the Capital City. Not only was Prince Jue’s support mansion nearby, but also the residences of several other notable aristocratic families, with even the ancestral home of the Ye Family not too far away.

However, on this visit, Su Chengyu had no intention to call upon Ye Wujiang.

Following Zhao Shijue into his reception hall, several beautiful maids immediately served tea to both men, their gazes falling on Su Chengyu, evidently assessing this new figure of wealth and power in the Capital City.

Su Chengyu was undisturbed, as he could tell that these maids were close confidantes of Zhao Shijue and may even have had a dalliance with him, given that Su Chengyu could sense the aura of a cultivator on each of them. Presently, although the Dual Cultivation Technique was rare, it was certain that records of it must exist at the Imperial Academy.

"What are you looking at? You have no manners at all, all of you leave. I need to speak privately with Brother Su!"

Zhao Shijue was seemingly worried that these maids might irritate Su Chengyu and quickly ordered them away.

With a smile, Su Chengyu looked at Zhao Shijue and said, "While the Dual Cultivation Technique is part of the Dao, relying on it excessively, like using elixirs to enhance one’s realm, can lead to an unstable foundation. Overdependence is not a good thing."

Zhao Shijue was startled, not expecting Su Chengyu to discern the relationship between himself and those maids with just a glance, which further increased his admiration for Su Chengyu.

"That is true, Brother Su. My master has also reminded me of this matter several times, but due to my dull talents, without resorting to that approach, it would’ve been exceedingly difficult to advance to the next realm."

"Haste does not bring success. Since Master Chang Chun was willing to take you as a disciple, your talents definitely cannot be considered poor. It’s just that you are too anxious, and this might lead to the opposite of the desired effect. Of course, this is just my opinion; Prince Jue need not take it too seriously."

Since this was a collaboration, Su Chengyu naturally still expressed some goodwill. This casual advice was given mostly out of courtesy; he believed that Master Chang Chun would have said much more to him.

Or perhaps... not said anything at all.

"What Brother Su has said is very true; this prince will remember it."

Zhao Shijue’s humble attitude almost struck Su Chengyu as unbelievable, but upon thinking of the instigator behind the scenes, Su Chengyu was mostly relieved.

"Prince Jue, is your confinement over now?"

Zhao Shijue bitterly smiled: "The incident at Cranes Return Pavilion caused quite the stir. Once Capital City was informed, I was punished for a period. However, in a few more days, the confinement will come to an end, and then I shall surely visit Brother Su’s residence."

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu guessed that Zhao Shijue might need his help with something, so he directly said: "There’s no need for visits. If there’s anything Prince Jue wants me to do, you can tell me now. As long as it’s within my power, I will do my utmost to assist."

Faced with Su Chengyu’s forthrightness, Zhao Shijue was equally surprised; he had thought that Su Chengyu would harbor greater resentment toward someone who had once tried to prevent him from gaining a foothold in Capital City.

"Prince Jue need not overthink. I, like you, am now in need of reliance. Collaborating with Your Highness is naturally a mutually beneficial matter. Moreover, my master and Master Chang Chun are old acquaintances..."

Last time Cang Qing True Master came to Capital City, he had mentioned meeting with Master Chang Chun, so Su Chengyu was aware of their relationship. It was this that made him quickly trust what Zhao Shijue said.

If Master Chang Chun had also intended to target him, Su Chengyu believed that his master would have no reason not to alert him.

Of course, at this moment, mentioning this was also Su Chengyu laying the groundwork for Zhao Shijue to facilitate an introduction for him in the future.

"In that case, I will not stand on ceremony," Zhao Shijue said, breathing a sigh of relief, then looking at Su Chengyu and continuing, "I indeed encountered some troubles during my confinement because it involved the Ancient Clan. I have had no suitable people to handle it and would like to ask for Saint Envoy’s help to investigate a bit."

"Which clan?"

"The Su Clan."

"Hmm?"

Su Chengyu slowly furrowed his brow, looking at Zhao Shijue with some surprise. Logically, the Su Clan, which urgently needed to establish their influence in Capital City, had no reason to clash with a member of the Royal Family.

"Does the Su Clan have a grudge against Your Highness?"

"It wouldn’t be called a grudge, but I had a group of Guest Elders who went missing while carrying out their duties on Su Clan’s territory. I suspect it has something to do with the Su Clan, but I’ve never had proof, so I would like to ask Saint Envoy to help look into the matter."

"Just Guest Elders?"

Su Chengyu asked plainly with a light smile, clearly not convinced by Zhao Shijue’s explanation.

Zhao Shijue chuckled, "I can’t hide anything from Saint Envoy. That group of Guest Elders was indeed ordinary, but they were attacked while escorting a woman I took a liking to in Su Hang’s Domain. I suspect that the woman was taken away by someone from the Su Clan. Those Guest Elders are not a big issue, but that woman is very important to me."

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu felt something was amiss and continued to inquire.

"What kind of woman?"

Zhao Shijue hesitated for a moment but still said, "Naturally Divine Bones."
