Chapter 1594: Chapter 1595: Only You

In the heartland of the Luo Clan, inside Zixuan Pavilion, Xu Nanzhi has been forcibly confined here, and half a month has passed without her leaving the pavilion.

She leans on the railing, looking out at the unchanging scenery, her expression indifferent, her thoughts unknowable.

"Miss, this is today’s portion of the Elixir..."

"Put it down."

Xu Nanzhi speaks softly but does not turn her head to look back even once.

The maidservant behind her, Xuan’er, who is assigned to Xu Nanzhi by the Luo Clan, was not originally from the Luo Clan but a girl selected and taken into the Luo Clan from Luoshui Village several years ago.

Xu Nanzhi had already secretly investigated Xuan’er’s background, confirming that she was just a disposable piece for the Luo Clan; someone they were willing to place at her side, allowing any accidents to happen.

However, Xu Nanzhi did not do away with this maidservant. She understood the more she guarded against the Luo Clan, the more it would deepen their suspicions about her, but it now seems that everything is meaningless.

"But Miss, the old master said these Elixirs must be seen taken by you, I..."

"Get out!"

Xu Nanzhi’s chilly voice and the look she gave when she turned was enough to make the maidservant shudder, and after a moment of hesitation, the maidservant simply pushed the Elixir forward and did not dare to say another word, leaving Zixuan Pavilion.

As soon as the maidservant left, Xu Nanzhi instantly crushed the medicinal bottle, completely destroying the Elixir that the Luo Clan had sent to enhance her strength.

In the past, Xu Nanzhi, to strengthen her voice in the Luo Clan and to understand the internal movements of the Luo Clan as much as possible, had even prepared to assist in secret when the Luo Clan intended to move against Su Chengyu.

She had thought that all her actions could at least buy her and Su Chengyu more than two years of time.

After all, in a normal situation, it would not be possible for her to break through to the Hollow Vacuum Realm from the edge of the Nascent Soul within two years of coming out of the Kunwu Realm.

But that is only under normal circumstances.

All of Xu Nanzhi’s plans had been disrupted by Su Chengyu’s supernatural rate of growth.

After noticing that Su Chengyu had quickly gained a firm foothold in the Capital City, and his cultivation was growing at a speed unimaginable to the people of the Luo Clan, they had no choice but to accelerate the persecution of Xu Nanzhi.

Initially, they were even more obliging towards Xu Nanzhi as progress in cultivation required the individual’s cooperation and effort to achieve the best results.

Moreover, pleasing Xu Nanzhi, in the eyes of the Luo Clan, would have no adverse effects on her since she had lost her memory, and it would merely make her feel like a treasure of the Luo Clan.

However, the speed at which Xu Nanzhi’s strength increased was declining instead of rising, and some members of the Luo Clan began to notice something was amiss.

Even though it could have been due to an unstable Dao Heart, some in the Luo Clan put forward the possibility that Xu Nanzhi may have regained her memories.

The Luo Clan immediately reduced Xu Nanzhi’s power and closely monitored her movements. Although they did not find any substantial clues, the seed of suspicion had already been sown deep.

Following Su Chengyu’s return from the Bei Luo Empire, and his ascension to the position of Saint Envoy, the Luo Clan finally lost patience.

The long-silent Luo Clan not only took the initiative to join actions against Su Chengyu for the first time but also semi-imprisoned Xu Nanzhi, restricting her to the most basic range of activities and having someone regularly check on her condition.

Officially, they claimed they hoped Xu Nanzhi would make a breakthrough to the Hollow Void Realm and then represent the Luo Clan, but Xu Nanzhi knew exactly what they were planning.

Outside Zixuan Pavilion, the sound of unusual frog croaking is heard. Xu Nanzhi’s Divine Sense sweeps around, confirming there are no eyes watching, before she deactivates the Prohibition inside the pavilion.

A black figure instantly flashes from the shadows, then appears beside Xu Nanzhi. The visitor is Luo Changping, who has not long returned from the Capital City.

"You’ve returned later than I expected."

Xu Nanzhi did not look at the other party, speaking only in a quiet voice.

Having been put under partial house arrest by the Luo Clan, Xu Nanzhi did not learn of their strike against Su Chengyu immediately.

However, the disappearance of Luo Changping from the Luo Clan, as well as numerous clues, still led Xu Nanzhi to find out about the incident.

Kneeling on the ground, Luo Changping dared not raise his head and said, "Lady Saintess, the situation was urgent at that time. I truly had no way to contact you to plan a method to stop the incident, so I took the liberty of going to Capital City myself."

"You don’t need to apologize. I don’t blame you. I also know why you went to Capital City."

Xu Nanzhi spoke calmly, showing no sign of anger.

It was precisely because of this that Luo Changping dared not look up, feeling guilty as he spoke.

"It’s not that I distrust Lady Saintess’ judgment, but the current situation..."

"So, what happened to him?"

Luo Changping wanted to meet Su Chengyu, wanted to know if he was indeed the unparalleled hero worth waiting for—she knew that, and she also believed that Su Chengyu would never disappoint her.

Always... it was only she who disappointed him.

It was like that in Lin Jiang, and it remained the same when they met again in the Kunwu Realm.

"Su Saint Envoy truly is a dragon among men. To be honest, I did not expect him to survive that almost certain deathly ambush, even though there was..."

"The Princess Her Highness helped him, right?"

Startled, Luo Changping raised his head and said, "Lady Saintess, you already know about the events outside?"

Xu Nanzhi chuckled and shook her head. "If I could know so much, I would not be meeting with you only now. I understand what’s happening outside, but I understand him. Women are his calamity, as well as his means of overcoming it; that’s how he has always made his way through."

Her words carried a tone of relieved mirth, and even after being apart for so long, Xu Nanzhi could not hide her love for Su Chengyu.

Seeing this, Luo Changping’s expression became more complex. Su Chengyu’s strength had indeed exceeded Luo Changping’s expectations, but he still could not find a way to rescue Xu Nanzhi, which was his true concern at the moment.

In the past year, Xu Nanzhi had indeed been developing her own forces within the Luo Clan as much as possible, and apart from herself, only one Luo Clan member of Martial Emperor Level had taken to her side. Moreover, this Martial Emperor was a marginal figure within the Luo Clan and did not know what the so-called Saintess truly meant to the clan as a whole.

The strategy Xu Nanzhi had thought of a year ago for an inside job was not yet capable of making an impact in such a dire time.

"No need to think any further. I just wanted to ask about his situation. As for leaving, I have already lost all hope."

Seeing what Luo Changping was worried about, Xu Nanzhi softly spoke up, then looked down at this Martial Emperor who served her.

"The Luo Clan has found a way to forcibly enter the Hollow Void Realm. The elixirs they’ve been sending recently are not to enhance the realm, but to stabilize the Dao Heart. Without any accidents, I should be taken away within a few days."

"Lady Saintess..."

"It’s just as well. That way, at least I will not be a stumbling block on his path to success."

Showcasing no bit of unwillingness about her own fate, at this moment, Xu Nanzhi could only feel happiness for Su Chengyu.

After all, Xu Nanzhi was very clear on one point: the harsher the Luo Clan was towards her, the more it indicated Su Chengyu’s commendable growth at the moment.

With a heart void of self, thinking only of him.
