Chapter 1600: Chapter 1601: Greatly Overstepping Boundaries

Luo Ling’er’s scheming was far deeper than the other two, which Su Chengyu had already sensed upon their first meeting.

However, she did not expect the other party to discover so quickly that she had something to hide and to speak so directly to her about it.

Su Chengyu put down the wine cup in his hand and did not deny the other’s judgment, but instead countered: "You feel that I have reservations and wish to confide in me, that’s fine. But just you alone, don’t you think that is somewhat unfair to the other two?"

Luo Ling’er covered her mouth with a light laugh, showing no signs of shaken by Su Chengyu’s words, and replied: "Unfair? This world was never fair to begin with. Differences in status and talent, these are predestined and unchangeable, so why talk about fairness?"

"They are also the children of Elders," Su Chengyu calmly asserted, using the status of the other two to threaten Luo Ling’er.

"Humph, one is a nouveau riche, the other misses a beat in his head, how dare they be mentioned in the same breath as me? Keeping their company is simply a disguise to avoid standing out too much. In fact... I see no hope for the Luo Clan anymore, even if the bloodline continues onward."

Su Chengyu suddenly looked up, not expecting Luo Ling’er to bring up the matter of bloodline continuation in front of him.

This subconscious action did not escape Luo Ling’er’s eyes, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly as she said: "Indeed, you also know the true significance of the existence of Lady Saintess. What exactly is your relationship with the person who covertly entered the Luo Clan? Was that sword attack from you?"

The slip just now forced Su Chengyu to suppress the turmoil in his heart. The young lady before him had much deeper schemes than he had imagined. Right now, he must remain calm so as not to reveal more in front of her.

Looking at Luo Ling’er, who was intently seeking the truth, Su Chengyu, with a now clear mind, did not respond but instead replied in a questioning manner.

"What do you think?"

Seeing the murderous intent openly displayed by Su Chengyu, Luo Ling’er ironically felt more certain, and scoffed softly.

"Stop pretending. If it was really your sword that struck, you would have no need to show such murderous intent to kill me now. If I’m not mistaken, you have not reached the Hollow Vacuum Realm, and it is precisely because of this you needed to infiltrate the Luo Clan in such a manner, right?"

Su Chengyu felt relieved, and had to admit that Luo Ling’er’s deductive ability was indeed astonishing, albeit partially guided by himself.

Yet, the conclusions she reached after piecing together the information were nearly identical to the truth. It was for this reason that Su Chengyu dared to continue the conversation with Luo Ling’er.

A woman so confident as to border on arrogance would absolutely not question her own correct judgments.

And the more accurate her judgments, the more they could mislead her.

Because in her understanding, it would be impossible for someone who had not reached the Hollow Vacuum Realm to unleash such a sword strike.

"Miss Ling’er is indeed extraordinarily intelligent, I’m ashamed of my inferiority. You guessed right, I’m not a person of the Luo Clan, but I am also not the one who unleashed that sword strike. In fact, I’m just as surprised that there would be another besides myself covertly entering the Luo Clan at this time."

Luo Ling’er’s eyebrows tightened upon hearing these words: "Are you truly unaware of who that person is?"

Su Chengyu shrugged: "If I knew, how could I have been injured by that sword strike?"

Luo Ling’er’s eyebrows did not relax with Su Chengyu’s words, clearly still doubting the truthfulness of Su Chengyu’s statement.

Seeing this, Su Chengyu spoke again: "However, there is one thing I can tell the lady: that sword was not unleashed by Long Xuan."

"Reason."

"First, I have seen Long Xuan. Although that sword strike was extraordinary, it’s definitely not from the hands of Long Xuan. Second, Long Xuan is now in the Kunwu Realm; even if he were to come to the Luo Clan, it certainly wouldn’t be at this moment."

Before entering the Luo Clan’s Blessed Realm, Su Chengyu had attempted to contact Long Xuan using the Earth Core Lotus, but was unable to make a connection, which indicated that Long Xuan was still in the Kunwu Realm. The truths that Su Chengyu told Luo Ling’er were indeed indisputably factual.

He knew that such genuine truths were the best way to deal with someone as meticulous in thought as Luo Ling’er.

"You also come from the Capital City?"

Even so, Luo Ling’er managed to extract a clue from the few words Su Chengyu had said, cutting straight to the heart of the matter.

And how could Su Chengyu, who had been led by the nose by Luo Ling’er for the better part of the day, allow the situation to remain in her control?

"Miss Ling’er, sharing heart-to-heart over drinks isn’t as simple as just me answering your questions, is it?"

Su Chengyu picked up his cup and swirled it, prompting Luo Ling’er to furrow her brow, then she replied somewhat displeased, "Do you know where you are now, and by what right do you make terms with me?"

"Isn’t it precisely because Miss Ling’er really doesn’t want to expose the facts?"

"Hmph, you think you’re qualified to guess my thoughts? Don’t think that just because I’ve complimented you a couple of times, you’re really any better than those other two!"

Although Luo Ling’er was much more meticulous in her thoughts than other members of the Luo Clan that Su Chengyu had met, the pride inherent in the bone of Ancient Clan Members still existed.

Su Chengyu wasn’t intimidated by Luo Ling’er’s threats, calmly saying, "First, although I am indeed injured now, as you have thought, I’m not worried about just you alone, even if all three of you were here, I am confident that I could eat you up and then slip away."

"You dare!"

Luo Ling’er angrily retorted, clearly very dissatisfied with Su Chengyu’s attitude.

"Don’t be in a hurry, Miss Ling’er."

Su Chengyu said with a smile, "Secondly, since the Miss didn’t report it from the beginning, that indicates you really didn’t want to expose my affairs, right?"

"That’s just your speculation; you have no proof at all."

Luo Ling’er replied with a cold laugh.

"Who says I don’t have proof? Miss, didn’t you just admit it yourself?"

Luo Ling’er frowned deeply, trying to recall everything she had just said, but she couldn’t figure out where she had slipped up.

Noticing her expression, Su Chengyu grew even more certain of his speculation and said softly, "Miss, you said that even if the Luo Clan’s lineage continues, you see no hope at all. For someone as clever as you, knowing there is no hope, how could you not seek a way out for yourself?"

"Stop talking nonsense! I’m a member of the Luo Clan; how could I possibly have such thoughts?"

Luo Ling’er spoke excitedly, clearly having lost her composure. She hadn’t expected that Su Chengyu could guess so much from just a few words.

"Let me guess, who might the Miss be seeking as a way out for herself?"

"You..."

"From our conversation just now, it’s clear that the lady, who is from the Luo Clan, has never left Cave Heaven. And those who could visit the Luo Clan’s Blessed Realm are very few and far between. Among them, the one who could provide a way out for the Miss..."

"Shut your mouth!"

"Which of the Nine Ancient Tribes could it be?"

Su Chengyu looked at Luo Ling’er, who had completely lost her cool, and sneered.

Trying to play mind games with me? You’re still too naive, little girl who hasn’t seen the world!
