Super Invincible Immortal Doctor - Capítulo 1738

Capítulo 1738: Chapter 1739: The Way to Break the Game

“I ask, after everything has settled, does the Heavenly Balance Saint Envoy intend to personally escort the remnants of the Luo Clan, or leave this burden to an outsider like me from the Heaven Punishment Department to alleviate the Saint Envoy’s worries?”

“Do you have a death wish?”

Watching Han Xiaotian calmly repeat the words as if genuinely, Su Chengyu could no longer suppress the murderous intent in his heart.

The Dragon Slayer Sword implanted not far away had already begun to vibrate, and the sound it emitted was not that of an ordinary sword, but imbued with the profound sound of the Dao.

Yet, facing Su Chengyu’s emotional fluctuations, Han Xiaotian merely smiled, looking at Su Chengyu without a trace of fear.

“Since the Heavenly Balance Saint Envoy has arrived at this point, you should understand under whose command I have come here. I admire the Saint Envoy’s sentiment, so I offer you a chance to rescue old friends and am willing to entrust the matters of escorting back to the Capital City to you. Does the Saint Envoy truly wish to make things difficult for me? You should know that if you continued to be aggressive, you would not be opposing me alone.”

The sound of the sword had yet to cease, but Su Chengyu still did not summon the Dragon Slayer Sword which he had long intended to use, surrounding Su Chengyu was an infinite killing intent that could be felt clearly by onlookers like Jiang Mo from afar.

Even though Long Ao Tian did not fully understand the cause and effect, he was prepared for the situation, standing behind Su Chengyu ready to take action.

“Ready to fight? I’ve long been fed up with this cheap guy!”

“Ao Tian!”

Seeing the critical juncture, Bai Qiu quickly restrained the restless Long Ao Tian, then approached Su Chengyu and whispered.

“Su Chengyu, you must stay calm. The Xia Country now dares to attack the Ancient Clan, their foundation is now immeasurable.”

“I know.”

Su Chengyu uttered these three words through gritted teeth.

But what can knowing do?

Could he really just hand over Xu Nanzhi without a struggle, or personally escort Xu Nanzhi back to the Capital City himself?

Seeing Su Chengyu in such a state, Han Xiaotian sneered, then continued, “Heavenly Balance Saint Envoy should not be overly tense. You are now greatly favored in the eyes of Your Majesty, the name of Tian Heng being reinstated for the first time since the founding of Xia Country, additionally with Princess Lin An speaking for you. Even if your beloved has Luo Clan blood, exchanging a life under Your Majesty’s favor shouldn’t be difficult. But as for… those other people of the Luo Clan…”

After Han Xiaotian’s words, his peripheral vision caught Luo Changping not far away. Realizing something, Luo Changping looked at Su Chengyu and was about to speak when Bai Qiu silenced him with a glance.

She wasn’t sure what choice Su Chengyu would make at this juncture, but she understood that Su Chengyu must not be subjected to any further external pressure or provocation. Whatever the choice, it had to be made by Su Chengyu himself, so he could face his decision in the future.

“Whew~”

Exhaling a long breath as if trying to vent all his pent-up anger with that single breath.

Then after a few seconds with his eyes closed, Su Chengyu finally opened them and looked at Han Xiaotian to ask.

“Han Xiaotian, can I ask why exactly you harbor such hatred against me?”

“Hatred? It’s not exactly hatred, more like envy. Besides, I’m just doing my job; even if Cold Moon Envoy were here, I would still ask you these questions.”

Seemingly ignoring the latter half of Han Xiaotian’s sentence, Su Chengyu continued, “Envy? Is it because of Lin An?”

Han Xiaotian, who had been in control of the whole situation, finally had his expression turn stern upon hearing Lin An’s name, yet quickly regained composure, “Sort of, after all, before you appeared, I was the most likely candidate for the marriage decree with Princess Lin An. Without you, the position of Prince Consort would eventually be mine.”

Su Chengyu couldn’t help but laugh after hearing this, looking at Han Xiaotian and saying, “I don’t know who gave you that confidence, but I am sure that even without me, Lin An would never take to someone like you.”

Han Xiaotian squinted slightly, finally showing some emotion, “We were born in the Capital City, many times, many things are not about what we want or don’t want, it’s the same for everyone except for Your Majesty.”

“You’re wrong, besides Your Majesty, someone else can achieve that too.”

“Oh?”

Han Xiaotian raised an eyebrow at Su Chengyu.

“Elder Ye can whimsically retire and return to the countryside, Long Xuan can disregard Xia Country’s numerous orders, and even now Cold Moon Envoy can refuse most tasks she doesn’t wish to do for His Majesty.”

“That’s all relative! Even Elder Ye doesn’t have absolute freedom!”

“And what about Lord National Master?”

Su Chengyu’s question froze Han Xiaotian in place.

“As far as I know, Lord National Master wasn’t always in that position; after becoming the State Preceptor, she left a note and casually left the Imperial Academy whenever she wanted. Even three years later, she returned without receiving any orders, and even His Majesty didn’t say a word, correct?”

“That’s different! She is Lord National Master! Her strength, her status cannot be compared to others! Moreover, His Majesty… toward the National Master…”

“Oh?”

Su Chengyu grinned, eagerly awaiting Han Xiaotian to continue.

However, at this crucial moment, Han Xiaotian prudently stopped himself from speaking further and asked in return, “Even with the National Master as an exception, what else are you suggesting?”

“The National Master indeed is a unique existence, ranking high on the Divine List, possessing identity, strength, and appearance all considered divine. But don’t forget, Lin An possesses all these as well, and she is the National Master’s last disciple.”

Han Xiaotian stared at Su Chengyu, “What exactly are you trying to say?”

“It’s simple, I just want to tell you that if the National Master can be that exception for the whole world, then so can Lin An. So even without me, you still wouldn’t get Lin An’s heart, let alone her person.”

Han Xiaotian clenched his fist tightly, trying to refute Su Chengyu’s words, yet realized that as long as he couldn’t deny Lord National Master being that person in the Capital City with absolute freedom, all rebuttals were moot.

Understanding this, Han Xiaotian suppressed the anger Su Chengyu had provoked within him and continued.

“Even so, what does it matter? It doesn’t change my dislike for you; you still need to make your choice. Or are you saying, Heavenly Balance Saint Envoy, you wish to defy the holy command?”

“Of course not.”

In the middle of their conversation, having realized the critical point, Su Chengyu replied openly.

“What His Majesty desires is that the Luo Clan no longer occupy a seat among the Ancient Clan, and I will guarantee this to His Majesty.”

“What will you use to guarantee it!”

Han Xiaotian questioned excitedly.

“After today’s events, the name of the Luo Clan will no longer exist within the Ancient Clan. A brand new Luo Clan will be born within Xia Country, and I assure you they will be a major force against the Demonic Path. Furthermore… all private treasures of the Ancient Clan will be handed over to the Imperial Academy.”

“Isn’t that an obvious thing to do!”

Han Xiaotian exclaimed excitedly.

Su Chengyu shook his head, “No, what you can offer to His Majesty is only what’s in the Luo Clan’s library, while what I can offer includes even what’s hidden here.”

Su Chengyu said this as he tapped his own forehead. This action instantly made Jiang Mo and the others nearby furrow their brows and look at Su Chengyu, yet the expressions held more of skepticism than shock.
