Chapter 1672: Chapter 1673: The Person Who Breaks the Game

Even though there was no guarantee, upon hearing these words, Yu Yanshu’s unsettled mind had calmed down. She sat upright to the side, her heart no longer restless.

"Master, I actually believe you will definitely succeed. I just don’t want anything bad to happen to you again."

Su Chengyu suddenly opened his eyes from his meditation and smiled, "Up until now, have you asked me why I revealed your whereabouts to Cui Manlou?"

Yu Yanshu was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head and replied, "I don’t know why, but I understand that Master must have had a reason for doing so."

Listening to these words made Su Chengyu feel a bit guilty. He let out a bitter smile and shook his head. "Actually, no. To be frank, at that moment, Cui Manlou had me cornered. I had no choice but to get information about Cang Qing True Master from him; after all, it wasn’t just one life at stake. Master, Mengmeng, Qianxiao, even Ao Tian and Bai Qiu... I had no alternative but to reveal your location."

"But you only said I went to Qingqiu, right?"

Su Chengyu smiled bitterly, "Yes. At that time, I held the naive hope that Cui Manlou didn’t know where Qingqiu was. Looking back now, it seems I was wishful thinking. And also..."

"And also what?"

Yu Yanshu widened her eyes, staring intently at Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu looked up at Yu Yanshu, glanced at her, and said softly, "I think I should give you an opportunity to choose."

Yu Yanshu froze for a moment, then quickly reacted, "Master is referring to joining the Demonic Path?"

Su Chengyu nodded, "If Cui Manlou’s aim were simply to harm you, I would never have even considered this. But once I learned that he merely wanted you to join, I couldn’t help but ponder the matter. What are your true intentions? As Cui Manlou himself said, if you hadn’t encountered me, if..."

"Master, the thing this world lacks the most is ’if.’"

Su Chengyu hesitated for a moment after being interrupted, then smiled and nodded, "You’re right. This world has no ’if.’"

Su Chengyu was the first to pull her out of that quagmire, showing Yu Yanshu a different world and making her realize that she wasn’t some freak of this mortal realm.

If it were just that, Yu Yanshu’s feelings for Su Chengyu might not have been so complicated. But as she learned more about her origins, Yu Yanshu realized that, in many ways, she truly was different—a misfit.

An anomaly of this realm, someone whose mere existence could stir countless hidden currents.

Yet, in Su Chengyu’s eyes, Yu Yanshu had never held such special status. No matter in whose presence, Su Chengyu had never questioned the identity that others doubted so deeply.

This was the very source of Yu Yanshu’s complex feelings for Su Chengyu.

She hadn’t understood it before, but as her cultivation reached the Golden Core Realm, the more she became aware of her uniqueness, the more she treasured Su Chengyu’s unaffected treatment of her.

Without regard to identity, without regard to destiny, in Su Chengyu’s presence, she was still that innocent girl—the first disciple he took under his wing.

That alone was enough for Yu Yanshu to lay down all her concerns, willing to give her all for him.

"Master?"

Noticing Su Chengyu suddenly going silent beside her, Yu Yanshu called out his name softly. However, Su Chengyu, now deeply immersed in meditation, made no response.

Seeing this, Yu Yanshu refrained from saying anything more. Her unique pair of eyes, which had been born distinct, could see increasingly profound truths as her cultivation advanced.

She could discern Su Chengyu’s current condition much more clearly than anyone else.

She knew very well that, despite the relaxed demeanor he projected, Su Chengyu was far from being at ease. Multiple battles of extreme intensity, repeated instances of overexertion, and invoking the Desolate Heaven Battle Halberd had left his body riddled with injuries.

Though he still had the strength to face opponents of the Hollow Void Realm as a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm, he was already at his limit in mid-tier encounters. Should the opponent employ any special techniques, Su Chengyu was likely to face disastrous odds.

"Little girl, are you directly observing Su Chengyu’s Sea of Consciousness?"

A sudden voice echoed through the space, startling Yu Yanshu. She quickly identified the source—a small, glowing stone radiating Five-Color Divine Light deep within Su Chengyu’s Sea of Consciousness.

Even with Yu Yanshu’s eyes capable of perceiving everything, she had failed to notice this hidden presence within the depths of the Sea of Consciousness earlier.

But Yu Yanshu wasn’t foolish. Realizing the entity’s origins, she quickly clasped her hands in a formal gesture and spoke respectfully.

"Junior Yu Yanshu greets the senior Heaven-Mending Stone."

Yu Yanshu had always known about the Heaven-Mending Stone accompanying Su Chengyu. After all, it wasn’t something Su Chengyu had hidden from his companions.

However, as the Heaven-Mending Stone carried immense pride—created personally by Empress Nuwa as a Sacred Object, its rank far surpassed Earthly Immortal Artifacts recognized by the world—it rarely acknowledged anyone besides Su Chengyu. Apart from people like Bai Qiu or Long Ao Tian, who had also descended from The Immortal World, few had conversed with the Heaven-Mending Stone.

Therefore, Yu Yanshu felt quite surprised by the Heaven-Mending Stone’s initiative to speak with her.

"Since you already possess the ability to pierce through his Divine Sense and directly observe the Sea of Consciousness, you should be fully aware of Su Chengyu’s current state, correct?"

Yu Yanshu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"The Martial God who injured him earlier is definitely not the strongest Elder of the Luo Clan—not to mention that after the Luo Clan Elders lie others at the Earth Immortal Level. Under such circumstances, Su Chengyu has no chance of rescuing his woman."

Yu Yanshu bit her lip and said, "But Master will never give up."

"Exactly, that’s the root of the problem. You can’t dissuade him, and neither can I. Therefore, we can only act behind his back and do what he refuses to do."

Yu Yanshu paused, then asked, "Senior wants me to take this opportunity to bring Master away?"

"That would be ideal. Avoiding this period of danger would mean that woman likely won’t survive, making Su Chengyu’s attempt to rescue her futile."

"No! If Master finds out, he will never forgive me in this lifetime."

Yu Yanshu vehemently shook her head, refusing without hesitation. Then, as if suddenly struck by a thought, she continued.

"Senior wouldn’t have come to me unless you had an alternative plan, right?"

"You little girl... you haven’t learned much from Su Chengyu, but your knack for scheming is almost identical. Yes, your Master rescuing that woman is exceedingly unlikely, but we can’t deny that the current Luo Clan is riddled with vulnerabilities. The Luo Clan Elder Council and its usual opposition wouldn’t be insurmountable; the real issue lies in needing someone capable of challenging the Earth Immortal behind them."

"Senior wants me to find reinforcements?"
