Chapter 1567: Chapter 1568: Visiting the Ye Residence

In the hinterlands of Capital City, the rebuilding of the Formation was exceedingly haphazard.

In fact, Su Chengyu does not currently possess the energy to fully restore the previously established Taiqing Myriad Great Formation.

The Divine Artifacts that guarded the eight directions were more than half damaged in this chaotic battle, and the remaining half’s Spiritual Essence is far from being comparable to its former state.

In the short term, Su Chengyu simply cannot muster enough high-grade Divine Artifacts to serve as Array Eyes.

After all, these items were the compensation he had accumulated from both the Su family and Zhao Shijue, after his journey to the Kunwu Realm and his brush with death upon first entering Capital City.

However, with Yu Yanshu and Bai Huang having already departed from Capital City, Su Chengyu no longer needs to turn this place into an impregnable fortress.

Being weaker is acceptable; after all, there is nothing left that needs be kept secret from others.

Should any unexpected events arise, there is still Qiu Tianlin to stand guard.

Of course, this is Su Chengyu’s last resort; he does not wish for Qiu Tianlin to be exposed until Su Chengyu and the Royal Family have completely laid their cards on the table.

Therefore, Su Chengyu has already planned his next move: to leave Capital City as soon as possible.

However, before doing so, all post-event tasks must still be thoroughly completed.

The first destination he plans to visit afterward is naturally the Yaoguang Dojo.

Since Lin An has already revealed his cards in front of his own master, Su Chengyu has no reason to avoid meeting with the State Preceptor of the current dynasty; he cannot allow Lin An to shoulder all the pressure alone.

What is most important, Su Chengyu also wishes to find out.

Setting aside the Royal Family, he is curious about the true stance of this Celestial from Mount Longhu towards himself.

Unfortunately, Ji Yuguang seemed to have anticipated Su Chengyu’s visit; he not only avoided meeting him but had also already left the Yaoguang Dojo, not giving his junior the opportunity to meet him at all.

"Intentional."

Su Chengyu stood in front of the Yaoguang Dojo, muttering to himself softly, and at this moment, a young person seemed to suddenly appear behind him.

Sensing the presence, Su Chengyu did not turn his head, and directly spoke.

"Your Highness, what brings you to this place?"

Zhao Shijue stepped forward, slightly nodded in apology to Su Chengyu, and spoke: "I’m sorry, I found out about the situation too late that evening. Although I sent a warrior of Martial Emperor Level to provide support, it’s just..."

"I felt it, at the base of the mountain, assessing the situation, looking for an opportunity to act, until Lin An appeared, and then left."

Zhao Shijue was taken aback and didn’t know how to respond immediately.

Seeing Zhao Shijue uncertain of what to do, Su Chengyu revealed a forgiving smile and spoke very generously.

"Don’t worry, Your Highness, I’m not blaming you. The fact that you sent someone was already beyond my expectations. It’s only natural for him to assess the situation, after all, the outcome of that night’s battlefield was no longer something that could be determined by his involvement or lack thereof."

Hearing Su Chengyu speak so, Zhao Shijue finally let out a breath of relief, then spoke very seriously: "No matter what, I wasn’t able to help with anything anyway. If you need any assistance now, just ask."

Su Chengyu nodded gently and said: "I will not stand on ceremony, Your Highness. Please be assured, although we cannot become trust-allaying friends, at the very least, we can still be partners who share honor and disgrace."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and, somewhat against etiquette, patted Zhao Shijue’s shoulder, then turned around and left before Yaoguang Dojo.

"Master, it is only at this moment that I truly understand what you meant back then; it’s just a pity that it’s somewhat late."

After leaving Yaoguang Dojo, Su Chengyu did not return to his own dwelling. This was the first time he had left Qilong Court for the heartland of Capital City since the ambush; he knew countless pairs of eyes were watching him from behind. Although no official notice had been issued yet, sooner or later, there would be an explanation for this matter.

In order to make amends for himself, as well as others potentially seizing upon his every minor fault.

That’s why Su Chengyu took the initiative to strike out in search of a way to break the situation. Since Ji Yuguang had chosen to flee Capital City and avoid facing him, Su Chengyu could only set his sights on another person, someone Su Chengyu did not wish to actively provoke.

Within the old city district of Capital City, a seemingly plain and ordinary courtyard.

The vast courtyard had long been in decline, aside from a caretaker who would visit once a week. This courtyard, which had also been lively once, now housed only an elderly man living alone.

Fortunately, the elder’s health was relatively robust, and living alone seemed to present no inconvenience. However, for such an aged elder to not have any younger family members visit throughout the year, was certainly unusual in the eyes of his neighbors.

Yet the elder appeared to give no heed to this; even when people spoke ill of his ungrateful children to his face, he would simply smile and shake his head, too lazy to explain anything.

Arriving at the courtyard’s front gate, Su Chengyu took a deep breath, and just as he was about to knock, the door opened by itself. Without a welcoming voice, Su Chengyu still stepped inside.

"What would you like to drink? How is the tea from Mount Qingcheng? Your master brought me quite a lot when he last visited."

In the deepest part of the courtyard, a white-haired elder with no sense of presence asked with a purple clay pot in hand, looking at Su Chengyu. Su Chengyu nodded to Ye Wujiang, who looked even more elderly than he had imagined and then sat down beside a small tea table.

Ye Wujiang then began to bustle around the house like an ordinary old man.

He fetched one thing after another, seemingly completely unprepared for Su Chengyu’s sudden visit.

"Ye... Uncle, you’re being too polite, this is really not necessary."

Ye Wujiang’s display of affability was making Su Chengyu somewhat uncomfortable.

Since entering the door, there was no feeling of meeting a powerful expert sitting at the peak of this era—instead, it felt more like visiting an ordinary elder in the family.

"How can that be? You’ve taken the initiative to visit me, how could I, as an elder, not entertain you properly? If your grandfather were to know..."

Bang!

Su Chengyu abruptly stood up, looking at Ye Wujiang in shock, and stuttered: "Uncle Ye, you..."

Ye Wujiang looked at Su Chengyu’s reaction and laughed, "Don’t worry, although my yard isn’t set up with complex formations like yours, no one dares to pry while I’m here."

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu relaxed a bit and slowly sat down before speaking: "Uncle Ye, when did you know about my identity?"

Holding the pot of brewed tea and walking over slowly, Ye Wujiang pondered and said: "I had my suspicions when that girl Qingci first came to know you. Of course, it was only during the visit from your master that I became sure. It wasn’t that he revealed it on purpose, but without his visit, I wouldn’t have been able to confirm my suspicions. By the way, how is your master doing now?"
