Chapter 1611: Chapter 1612: Qingping Plateau

Su Chengyu deliberately brought up Luo Nanping for comparison, which left Luo Ling’er feeling uneasy, though she dared not say much.

He understood that the reason Su Chengyu spoke this way was primarily because Luo Nanping had no other backing and could only be manipulated, whereas she had the Xiao Tribe behind her.

This destined Su Chengyu to be more wary of her than Luo Nanping, though it also meant that she was relatively safer.

"So, can I look at the Yu Jian now?"

Luo Ling’er had taken out the Yu Jian but showed no intention of letting Su Chengyu examine it. As such, Su Chengyu remained unhurried.

Haste makes waste—especially with matters as significant as this.

Without much hesitation, Luo Ling’er pushed the Yu Jian toward Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu, showing no courtesy, picked up the Yu Jian and injected it with mana. Instantly, the information contained within was revealed to him.

Just as Su Chengyu finished reading, the Yu Jian disintegrated rapidly, turning to dust and dissipating within the cave. It was clearly a specially made one-time-use item.

Mulling over the contents of the Yu Jian, Su Chengyu did not speak immediately. After a brief moment of contemplation, he raised his head to look at Luo Ling’er and said,

"Pass a message to the Xiao Tribe for me: I can undertake the task, but I cannot guarantee its outcome."

Luo Ling’er responded with a faint acknowledgment, seemingly indifferent.

This strange reaction caught Su Chengyu by surprise. He smiled and asked, "What’s this? Does Miss Ling’er not know what was in the Yu Jian?"

Luo Ling’er’s gaze shot over, her tone cold with displeasure: "Knowing too much may not necessarily be a blessing for me."

"Oh, is that something the Xiao Tribe told you, or just your way of consoling yourself?"

"You—"

"Relax, it’s just an offhand remark. I know you don’t trust me. With the Xiao Tribe as a solid backing, staying away from a loner like me is probably a safer bet."

Su Chengyu’s candid words made Luo Ling’er frown. She glanced at him, her expression cautious as she asked, "Are you really the one who infiltrated the Luo Clan alone?"

Su Chengyu turned his head and smiled faintly. "Who knows?"

Meanwhile, having left the waterfall, Luo Nanping headed straight to the Elder Council, accompanied by three Nascent Soul cultivators who remained close behind, ensuring his protection.

Yet, what was meant to safeguard Luo Nanping brought him no sense of security whatsoever.

Instead, their presence left Luo Nanping feeling even more on edge.

"Young Master, perhaps it’s best to return. The master said there’s something major happening in the clan recently. It’d be better if you—"

"Shut up! My visit to the Elder Council is precisely to ask Father about this matter! If you refuse to run errands for me, must I personally see to everything?"

Luo Nanping’s reprimand silenced the individuals immediately.

Each of the three was a trusted confidant of Luo Zongyuan, and they had some understanding of the clan’s affairs. However, precisely because of this, they dared not discuss these matters carelessly.

Seeing them fall silent, Luo Nanping was about to say more when something unexpected occurred.

"Nanping! What are you doing here?"

"Achu?"

Luo Nanping turned to see Luo Achu approaching with a look of surprise and joy. He hadn’t anticipated running into him at the Elder Council.

Luo Achu jogged over and stood beside Luo Nanping. After ensuring no one else was around, he leaned in and whispered, "Did you also hear about the matter with the Elder Council?"

Luo Nanping’s heart skipped a beat. He hadn’t expected Luo Achu to be better informed than he was.

Still, he kept his expression neutral and nodded slightly. "I’ve heard bits and pieces, but I don’t know the details, so I came to take a look."

His vague response didn’t arouse Luo Achu’s suspicion. In fact, Luo Achu himself was here for much the same reason.

"My father mentioned something to me, but he didn’t go into details—just that someone seemed to have infiltrated the Elder Council," he said.

"Infiltrated the Elder Council?!"

Luo Nanping exclaimed in shock, his voice rising involuntarily.

His reaction startled Luo Achu, who quickly glanced around. Upon confirming the coast was clear, he admonished anxiously, "Keep your voice down! This matter is classified; even within the Elder Council, few are privy to it."

Realizing his slip, Luo Nanping swallowed hard and blinked before muttering, "Who’s bold enough to do something like that?"

"No idea. But it’s said there’s a mole within the Elder Council as well, and..."

"And what?"

Seeing Luo Achu hesitate, Luo Nanping pressed him further.

"I’ll tell you, but you absolutely cannot tell anyone else."

Luo Nanping was momentarily stunned before clapping Luo Achu on the shoulder. "What’s our relationship? Do you think I’d betray you? Rest assured, I won’t breathe a word!"

Reassured, Luo Achu finally said, "The Third Elder... is dead."

"You—!"

Luo Nanping instinctively gasped, but Luo Achu, prepared for this, immediately covered his mouth. He then gravely reminded him,

"Lower your voice—I already told you this is top secret!"

Luo Nanping swallowed again and nodded heavily. Only then did Luo Achu sigh in relief and remove his hand.

As he observed Luo Achu, Luo Nanping tentatively asked, "If I recall correctly, wasn’t the Third Elder a High Grade Martial Emperor?"

"Ninth Grade."

Luo Achu, whose father was also an Elder, knew far more about the Elder Council than Luo Nanping did.

"Who could’ve done it?"

Luo Nanping asked, both astonished and unsettled.

He had thought Su Chengyu breaking into the Luo residence was an audacious move. He never imagined there’d be someone even bolder.

"No one knows yet. But it’s not just the main gate. Someone also seems to have opened a passage near the Qingshan Plains to infiltrate the Luo Clan. My father has already taken people over there personally. I came here to fetch some items from the Elder Council for him."

Hearing this, Luo Nanping nodded. "Alright, I won’t keep you then."

With that, Luo Nanping quickly excused himself, claiming he had matters to attend to, and left.

Watching him depart, Luo Achu frowned and muttered, "What’s he doing here at this time?"

One incense stick’s time later, Luo Nanping emerged from the Council Hall. After surveying his surroundings to confirm no one was watching, he swiftly departed the Elder Council.

Unbeknownst to him, two figures appeared outside the Council Hall shortly after his departure.

One watched the direction Luo Nanping had gone, while the other entered the Council Hall, only to return shortly afterward.

"Great Elder, it’s confirmed—he accessed the schematics of the Elder Council’s layout."

"Using his father’s authority?"

"Yes. Should we inform Elder Zongyuan?"

"No need. Keep an eye on him. Don’t act without my orders. Additionally... send someone to Qingshan Plains."

"Great Elder, is that necessary? Isn’t the Lady Saintess’s breakthrough our current priority?"

The Luo clansman addressed as the Great Elder turned his head slowly. "This is for her breakthrough."
