Chapter 1572: Chapter 1573: The Origins of the Qian Family

Su Chengyu, upon leaving the Ye residence, didn’t head straight back to Qilong Court. Instead, he went to an ordinary-looking flower and bird market.

In this market mainly frequented by the common folk, Su Chengyu experienced what felt like the everyday life of ordinary people for the first time in a long while.

Unbeknownst to him, it had been a long time since such normalcy had been a part of his life.

"Sir doesn’t look like he’s here to make a purchase."

In a regular flower and bird shop, a plainly dressed woman set down a pot of meticulously cared for plants and then looked up to speak.

Looking at the woman who had obviously masked her face, Su Chengyu smiled and said: "Indeed, I am not here to buy anything, but I am indeed here to talk business."

The woman glanced at Su Chengyu, thought for a moment, and seemingly guessing his identity, said: "I really didn’t expect you to come to us at this critical moment."

After speaking, the woman walked towards the back of the shop. Su Chengyu, without a hint of hesitation, followed her inside.

"I’m in a hurry to leave the Capital City, so I couldn’t fuss over the details."

The assistance from Luo Changping was no coincidence. This Martial God, despite risking exposing his tie to Xu Nanzhi as a chess piece, was willing to bet on Su Chengyu, signaling that the situation for Xu Nanzhi was not good.

Moreover, knowing that Yu Yanshu was headed to Qingqiu, Su Chengyu would leave the Capital City immediately after finishing his business there and head to Luoshui.

"I can understand; for Mr. Su, the Capital City is indeed a place full of contention right now."

Su Chengyu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and blinked, "Has the Qian family heard any particular news then?"

The woman gave a brief, dismissive glance upwards, waving her hand grandly. Instantly, the flowers and birds in the shop shifted around, wrapping both individuals within an enclosed space inside the shop.

After their figures had disappeared, a treant disguised as one of the shop workers immediately transformed into the appearance of the woman, continuing what she was doing earlier.

Su Chengyu, now within the small enclosed world of the shop, observed the intricate setup with some surprise. Even though he knew the Qian family was incredibly wealthy, the capabilities they demonstrated here still astounded him.

The intricacy was akin to the Taiqing Myriad Great Formation he himself had spent a great deal to create.

"Mr. Su, please take a seat."

Su Chengyu followed the woman into a pavilion, clearly meant for receiving guests, and the moment he sat down, several vines stretched out from both sides of the pavilion, offering him a cup of tea.

Watching the slowly retracting vines, Su Chengyu blinked and said softly, "Even though it’s a sprite, it still belongs to the Demon Clan. I am, after all, a Demon Slayer Bureau Emissary; isn’t the Qian family being a bit too bold?"

The woman chuckled lightly then spoke without any concern, "Every sprite in my shop has been reported to the Demon Slayer Bureau, and each is recorded in their files. If the Tian Heng Emissary is worried, you are welcome to take them back to the bureau for individual verification. If there are any issues, my Qian family will definitely not show partiality."

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu was somewhat surprised; it was the first time he learned that sprites could gain approval from the Demon Slayer Bureau in this way.

However, even though they could, Su Chengyu knew that obtaining permission from the Demon Slayer Bureau was by no means an easy task.

The capability to entrust sprites in charge here clearly showed the Qian family’s financial power.

"Keeping these sprites must have cost a lot, does the Qian family have no more people?"

The woman shook her head softly, speaking quietly, "It’s just my personal preference. Compared to humans, I trust these sprites more. Speaking of which, I know Tian Heng Emissary’s identity, but you might not know mine yet. I am Qian Jinming, a direct descendant of the Qian family."

Since Su Chengyu had willingly come to the Qian family’s territory, of course, he knew the name Qian Jinming; however, Su Chengyu didn’t really care.

He knew that those who knew about his entanglement with the Qian family wouldn’t speak of it, and for those who didn’t know, it hardly mattered who they were, so Su Chengyu spoke frankly.

"Manager Qian, you are too kind. I have indeed heard of the manager’s reputation. Since you have also been paying attention to me, then about that business with the Qian family..."

"No news."

He spoke bluntly, very serenely informing Su Chengyu of the thing he most wanted to know.

Although Su Chengyu was mentally prepared, he still felt a bit disappointed when he actually heard the answer.

Qian Jinming sipped his tea on his own and then said, "I really don’t understand why my cousin agreed to your deal. From any perspective, it’s a thankless task."

Su Chengyu looked up at Qian Jinming and asked, "What about you? Would you refuse?"

Qian Jinming paused, then quickly understood Su Chengyu’s implication and said directly, "From a business perspective, there’s indeed no reason to agree, but for the Qian family, that matter indeed must not be disclosed to you."

"I will find out sooner or later."

Qian Jinming chuckled lightly, "Good luck to you."

The faint smile expressed supreme confidence, and even though his face was covered by a technique, Su Chengyu could still feel the confidence radiating from that almost charming face under the technique.

Naturally, it was no big deal that Qian Jinming, coming from the Qian family, was good-looking, but what puzzled Su Chengyu was the inexplicable sense of familiarity he felt around him. Yet for the moment, Su Chengyu couldn’t figure out where this familiarity stemmed from.

As Su Chengyu puzzled over this inside, Qian Jinming took the initiative to say, "Although I’m not interested in the business between you and my cousin, I do have a few deals in hand that I think you might be interested in."

"What?"

"The first is from Qingcheng Sect. The Qian family can provide a Sacred Object to maintain the operation of the Qingcheng Sect’s Great Formation."

"What do you mean?"

Suddenly mentioning Qingcheng Sect, Su Chengyu felt something was amiss and instinctively asked.

Seeing Su Chengyu’s reaction, Qian Jinming promptly responded, "It seems the Saint Envoy is not yet aware, so let me tell you this news as a bonus, Cang Qing True Master is dead."

"Impossible!"

Su Chengyu stood up abruptly, looking agitatedly at Qian Jinming.

Qian Jinming remained very calm, blinked at Su Chengyu and said, "Saint Envoy, I have no need to lie. After all, deceiving you serves no purpose for the Qian family. I can understand your reluctance to accept this reality. But... reality is reality."

Su Chengyu’s breathing was rapid, and it took him a while to calm down before saying, "What about the others?"

Qian Jinming shook his head, "Sorry, I don’t know more than that."

"I will confirm this and come back to you."

After contemplating, Su Chengyu quickly got up and left the pavilion immediately.

Indeed, he could find no reason for Qian Jinming to deceive him, but the matter was of great importance, and he had to verify it personally before he could decide.

Watching Su Chengyu’s departing figure, Qian Jinming sipped his tea alone until the cup was completely empty. Then he murmured to himself,

"Xiaoxiao, this is as far as I can help you."
