Chapter 988: Chapter 988: Xu Nanzhi’s Decision

The camp of the Human Clan, benefiting from Su Chengyu and Lin An’s great victory, clearly had a stronger momentum.

Just as Divide Treasure Cliff showed signs of activity, a throng of cultivators rushed out.

The magic artifacts of Divide Treasure Cliff, besides depending on fate, also depended greatly on opportunity. If you didn’t even have the chance to approach, how could a magic artifact land in your storage bag?

Right now, the Kunwu Realm natives were still wary of Su Chengyu’s recent move and dared not to rush in, naturally presenting the best opportunity for the Human Clan cultivators to seize the initiative.

However, with the closure of the Kunwu Realm imminent, the natives of the Kunwu Realm also understood this was their last chance.

After a moment’s hesitation, many from the Demon Clan also began to join the scramble for treasures.

Everyone feared the ’what ifs’, but everyone also hoped to be that ’what if’.

Soon, the area in front of Divide Treasure Cliff became a chaotic mess as the previously spectating Human and Demon Clans fully engaged in the melee.

Humans fought with demons over treasures, demons with demons, and humans with humans.

The people of Qingcheng Sect were not in a hurry; they remained gathered around Su Chengyu, fearing someone might take advantage of the chaos to strike at them.

After all, everyone knew that Su Chengyu carried precious treasures on his person.

No one could say for sure, and nobody was willing to risk attacking the pair who had just been through a major battle, leaving Su Chengyu somewhat bemused.

"Don’t just stand there, everyone. Lin An and I are fine. You all should go after the treasures," Su Chengyu said.

"What about you two?"

Yang Junmo asked directly.

Turning to glance at Lin An, who shook his head, Su Chengyu then calmly said.

"We won’t join the fray. The timing isn’t right, and besides, I’ve already gained quite a lot in the Kunwu Realm."

The two of them were already quite conspicuous at Divide Treasure Cliff. Although the flying magic artifacts were not bad, they paled in comparison to the hauls like the Wasteland Sky Halberd.

Getting involved now would be risking too much out of greed.

"If Chengyu isn’t going, I won’t go either," declared Xu Nanzhi quietly from the side.

She could tell that Su Chengyu’s injuries from the battle were not as trivial as he was letting on; he just didn’t want everyone to worry too much.

Xu Nanzhi was resolute, so Su Chengyu said no more and turned to address the others.

Yang Junmo was the first to respond, "Alright then, I won’t stand on ceremony with you. If I don’t bring something back, my old man will definitely nag me again. Qianxiao, shall we go together?"

The True Dragon Technique was something he had freeloaded from Su Chengyu—though it was also a matter of fate, it still wasn’t something he had obtained on his own. He needed to have an account to give to his family from this trip.

Bei Tang Qianxiao nodded in agreement, and then set off with Yang Junmo.

Then Ji Yuzhu also stood up. Although she was concerned about Su Chengyu, she didn’t want to miss out on Divide Treasure Cliff this time.

After stating her stance, she looked at the other members of Qingcheng Sect to see if they would accompany her, and everyone except Chen Mengmeng immediately agreed.

Looking at the indecisive Chen Mengmeng, Su Chengyu said before anyone else, "Mengmeng, have you opened your fourth aperture?"

"Ah... not, not yet?"

"Then you’d better seize the opportunity, or how will you explain to your master when you get back?"

Chen Mengmeng immediately understood Su Chengyu’s thoughtful words and took a deep breath before saying, "Take care, you two."

Soon, except for Xu Nanzhi and Lin An, everyone joined in on the scramble for treasures at Divide Treasure Cliff.

Once everyone had left, Su Chengyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down, looking exhausted.

Xu Nanzhi immediately came over and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Su Chengyu shook his head, "I just overextended myself a bit, just need some rest and I’ll be good."

Though his consumption during the boundary crossing wasn’t significant, facing off against two Demon Emperors had, understandably, been quite a pressure on Su Chengyu.

He had merely not wanted his comrades to miss their fortunes out of concern for him while they were all present earlier.

Xu Nanzhi showed a look of guilt, "This is all my fault. If it weren’t because of me, it wouldn’t have come to this."

"Hmph, as long as you know."

Sitting nearby, Lin An spoke unabashedly, still harboring no fondness for Xu Nanzhi.

Su Chengyu was just about to speak when Xu Nanzhi stopped him.

She rose to her feet, walked up to Lin An, and with a bow said, "Thank you for being by Chengyu’s side, for helping him through tough times."

This gesture caught Lin An off guard, and the frustration that was suffocating her in her belly was now stuck in her chest, leaving her unable to utter a single word.

What’s with this woman?

"Why should this princess need your thanks? I did it for Su Chengyu willingly, it has nothing to do with you."

Lin An was not about to show Xu Nanzhi any kindness and said so coldly.

Seeing Su Chengyu frantically signalling to her from the side, Lin An didn’t say much more, snorted, and walked away.

"I’m going to rest as well, don’t disturb me."

Watching Lin An walk away, Su Chengyu finally spoke, "Nan Zhi, don’t take it to heart. Lin An is just someone with a sharp tongue but a soft heart."

Xu Nanzhi shook her head, "No, I can tell she loves you very much."

These words made Su Chengyu feel somewhat guilty; he didn’t know how to respond.

However, Xu Nanzhi just smiled gently and took a seat beside Su Chengyu and asked,

"Can you tell me what you’ve been through during the time I was gone?"

Xu Nanzhi took the initiative to start the conversation, and naturally, Su Chengyu held nothing back.

He recounted everything that had happened after she left, except for the details that, if she knew, might put Xu Nanzhi in danger.

Xu Nanzhi listened quietly, without a word throughout.

When it came to finally finding Lin Chuxue before coming to Kunwu Realm, Su Chengyu’s expression turned resolute and he declared,

"I will definitely find Chu Xue."

"Yes, I believe in you."

Xu Nanzhi said softly and then stretched out her hand to hold Su Chengyu’s, "Chengyu, you’ve had a hard time during this period."

"No, it was you who had it tough," he replied.

Others might not know, but Su Chengyu was well aware.

Xu Nanzhi must have suffered inhumane torments during her memory loss with the Luo Clan.

Yet Xu Nanzhi shook her head, "It’s nothing, compared to you, I had it much better."

But the more Xu Nanzhi downplayed it, the more certain Su Chengyu was that she too must have endured inhumane treatment at the hands of the Luo Clan.

He took her hand in his and said firmly, "No matter what has happened, rest assured, now that I’ve found you, I won’t let the Luo Clan take you away again!"

"No, I want to return to the Luo Clan."

"What?"

Su Chengyu asked excitedly, his eyes full of urgent concern, worried that the Luo Clan might have done something more to Xu Nanzhi.

Xu Nanzhi shook her head and replied, "Don’t worry, I’m fine. On Sky Piercing Peak, I regained all my memories, both from before we parted and after."

"Then why?"

"Because I remember everything, that’s why I must go back to the Luo Clan. Chengyu, I’m your woman, not your burden."

Xu Nanzhi looked at Su Chengyu tenderly.

"No! I won’t allow it!"

Su Chengyu stated emphatically, determined to take Xu Nanzhi away from the moment he saw her again.

This time, even if a Land Immortal were to appear, he would never let go!
