Chapter 1570: Chapter 1571: Ye Family’s Qing Ming

Walking out from the Ye residence, Su Chengyu did not turn around and leave immediately, but instead bowed deeply towards the Ye residence with respect.

He understood that this gesture would undoubtedly be seen by countless people, but still, he chose to do so.

Without considering any benefits involved, it was simply as a junior showing respect to a senior who had changed him, advanced with the times, yet never discarded his own principles.

Even though doing so may cause him to lose an unknown backing.

Ye Wujiang, who sensed all this from within the courtyard, chuckled lightly, helplessly shaking his head: "Su Linyuan, this boy is not as steady as you, rather he’s somewhat like me back in the day."

After uttering these words, Ye Wujiang suddenly felt a familiar aura and his smile vanished in an instant, subconsciously wanting to stand up, but after hesitating for a moment, he sat back down in the original place, swaying the rattan chair, seemingly lost in thought.

Meanwhile, after having left the residence, Su Chengyu, who had only gone a short distance, saw that figure waiting for him with a concealed presence.

Su Chengyu was not meeting this person for the first time, but their encounters had been fleeting with virtually no interaction.

But this time, he knew the person had come for him.

"I’ve seen Master Ye."

Although Su Chengyu was part of the Demon Slayer Department, Ye Qingming’s status was ultimately a level above his, so Su Chengyu didn’t skip any of the necessary formalities.

Ye Qingming nodded lightly and then stared intently at Su Chengyu with a quiet voice.

"You should not have come here."

Su Chengyu chuckled lightly: "Uncle Ye is a very good elder, he’s more approachable than I thought..."

"Don’t you understand what I’m saying?"

Ye Qingming slightly furrowed his brow, clearly dissatisfied with Su Chengyu’s evasive attitude.

Nevertheless, Su Chengyu continued as if he heard nothing, "This visit to see Uncle Ye has been very beneficial. I probably will continue to visit in the future..."

Clang!

The sword flashed out like a dragon, an invisible Magic Sword that ordinary people couldn’t see directly pressed against Su Chengyu’s throat.

The terrifying oppressive force from the Peak of the Hollow Void, the unmasked strong intent to kill surged directly towards Su Chengyu without any reservation.

Ye Qingming furrowed his brow slightly, speaking rather displeasedly: "Father is old now, I don’t care what you are doing in the Capital City, or what your purpose is. Qingci, I can’t control, but at the very least, father absolutely cannot be involved in your..."

"Are you his son, or his father?"

Before Ye Qingming could finish speaking, Su Chengyu directly interrupted the current Sect Master of the Dragon Soul Department.

"What did you say?"

With a questioning tone, the Sword pressing against Su Chengyu drew even closer.

"Does Uncle Ye need your supervision on what he wants to do? Even if you wanted to intervene, instead of finding him, you come after a junior like me? Doesn’t that seem somewhat unreasonable?"

"I don’t know what kind of role you’re really playing, but I do know that without you, there wouldn’t be so many problems. Whether it’s Qingci or father, they would definitely not be entangled in this undercurrent flowing through the Capital City."

"Then make your move."

Su Chengyu spoke without any fear.

Ye Qingming slightly furrowed his brow: "Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you? Don’t forget, Qingci is not in the Capital City right now."

"I know, and I also understand that even Uncle Ye wouldn’t be able to stop you if you truly set your heart on killing me. But what’s the point?"

Su Chengyu retorted.

"What do you mean by that?"

"If I die, would the Cold Moon Envoy really give up on his many years of schemes? If I die, could Uncle Ye really let go of his obsession? You are his son, you should know better than I do. How much has Uncle Ye changed over these past two decades? He’s indeed still alive, but how different is he now from the man you remember? You should understand this better than I do, right?"

Ye Qingming took a deep breath, as his sharp demeanor weakened slightly in the face of Su Chengyu.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Uncle Ye has had his heart die many years ago, yet you have done nothing. In my view, you are not even as decisive as the Cold Moon Envoy, who has clearly made a complete break from the Ye Family."

"You..."

Ye Qingming’s brow furrowed, a killing intent rising again, as the Magic Sword suspended above Su Chengyu’s head moved a few inches closer.

"Make your move. If you kill me now, you are not just killing me; you are killing the faint hope in Uncle Ye’s heart that has barely begun to rekindle."

His calm words eventually brought Ye Qingming to a complete stop, and after pondering for a long time, he finally spoke: "You, Father, and Qingci, what on earth do you all want to do?"

Su Chengyu shook his head: "Sorry, since they have not told you, I, as an outsider, certainly won’t be the one to disclose it."

Ye Qingming let out a long sigh, ultimately sheathing his Magic Sword, then looked at Su Chengyu and said, "You win. I can understand why you all want to keep me out of it. But I won’t give up. I will find out what exactly you are up to."

"Good luck," Su Chengyu said with a slight smile, then without paying any more attention to Ye Qingming, whose authority and power were still above his own, he walked straight out of the room.

Watching Su Chengyu leave through the corner of his eye, Ye Qingming, who had now concealed all his aura, approached the Ye residence, hesitated for a moment, but still pushed open the grand doors.

Ye Wujiang, who was swaying on the rattan chair, closed his eyes and said softly, "Being so cautious even when coming home, don’t you consider this your own house anymore?"

Ye Qingming lowered his head and said, "That’s not it, Father, I just..."

"There are things we keep you out of not because we don’t trust you, but because you don’t need to bear these burdens. You just need to play your role as the Dragon Soul Sect Master, and let the other matters be. You don’t need to worry about them."

"But..."

"Am I your father, or are you my father?"

That remark silenced the words that were on the verge of leaving Ye Qingming’s lips, clearly showing that Ye Wujiang had witnessed everything between Ye Qingming and Su Chengyu.

"Father, if I truly made a move, would you have intervened?"

Ye Wujiang chuckled and said, "You wouldn’t make a move. I know your temperament too well. Even if you actually harbored killing intent, being the Dragon Soul Sect Master, you wouldn’t do anything inappropriate. This is the biggest difference between you and Qingci. That’s why I feel at ease letting you be the Dragon Soul Sect Master."

Ye Qingming clenched his fist tightly, obviously not quite agreeing with Ye Wujiang’s words, but unable to refute them. After a long while, he finally spoke.

"Father, when will you all be willing to tell me what exactly you are doing?"

Ye Wujiang smiled and turned his head, saying, "Didn’t you just say you wanted to investigate it yourself?"

Ye Qingci was at a loss for words. He had been investigating, indeed. Over the past decades, since he became aware that Ye Qingci was plotting something behind the scenes, he had been conducting his own investigations. But after all these years, he had found no trace, otherwise, why would he be so anxious now?

"You can’t see the whole picture from within the circle, so it’s not your fault."

"Father!"

Seeing how anxious Ye Qingming looked, Ye Wujiang finally opened up and said, "Once you achieve the status of an Earth Immortal, I will tell you everything."

"Alright."
