Capítulo 1952: Chapter 1953: Descending the Mountain and Entering the World

“The Shen Family?”

Xu Nanzhi asked in confusion, clearly not understanding what it represented.

The Qian and Shen families, two of the largest financial arteries in Xia Country, were known to Xu Nanzhi, but she did not know what made them particularly unique.

Su Chengyu pointed upwards with his finger, and Xu Nanzhi immediately gasped.

“The Zhao Family?”

Su Chengyu winked in acknowledgment.

Behind the Shen family was the Nine Heavens Tower, and the complicated relationship between the Nine Heavens Tower and the Zhao family—Su Chengyu had long been aware of it.

The top position of the Imperial Concubine Chen on the Red List, the many skilled positions on the Divine List… although these signs couldn’t be blatantly stated, those who knew the inner workings of the lists had realized they were never as simple as they seemed.

At this moment, Su Chengyu’s gaze fell on Su Zi, whose sharp look, although not suppressing any aura, still made Su Zi feel extremely uneasy inside.

Su Zi didn’t know when it began, but she, who was originally only afraid of Ye Qingci, feared Su Chengyu even more than Ye Qingci.

Especially after Ye Qingci gradually healed her injuries, Su Zi had thoughts of betraying Su Chengyu, but thinking of Su Chengyu’s methods, the process of step by step dismantling her inner pride, Su Zi ultimately didn’t muster the courage, so even now in such a situation, Su Zi still took the initiative to come forward.

Xu Nanzhi looked at the silent Su Chengyu and felt strange, even she couldn’t grasp Su Chengyu’s thoughts at the moment.

Matters involving the Zhao family would inevitably become extremely complicated, she knew that this storm might directly relate to Su Chengyu’s future standing in the Capital City, so she didn’t dare to think too much.

Just as Xu Nanzhi was puzzled inside, Su Chengyu had already stood up from his chair, and the moment he turned to meet Xu Nanzhi’s eyes, Xu Nanzhi instantly understood Su Chengyu’s intention and frowned.

“But…”

Waving her hand to stop Xu Nanzhi from speaking further, Su Chengyu looked towards the door.

He knew that Xu Nanzhi was worried about him, but now the situation in the Capital City was gradually going out of control, and since someone clearly wanted to force him to appear, hiding indefinitely was not a solution.

The risks were clear to Su Chengyu more than anyone else, but he also knew that if he didn’t show himself now, the final result would only be worse.

Seeing Su Chengyu already determined to go out and reveal himself, Xu Nanzhi knew she couldn’t persuade him, so she gave Su Zi a cold look, making Su Zi subconsciously step back half a step, until it took a long time for both of them to recover after leaving.

“You’re going out?”

Bei Tang Qianxiao heard the news of Su Chengyu going out and quickly appeared at the entrance of Qilong Court, with Yang Junmo and another worried-looking Yang Junmo behind him.

Su Chengyu nodded, indicating that everyone should not worry.

“I’m just going to calm the storm outside, those people knowing that Su Chengyu is still alive will naturally not dare to be so reckless. I said it’s fine.”

Yang Junmo said nonchalantly.

Beside him, Chen Mengmeng wondered, “But when you heard the news just now, aside from Sister Qianxiao, weren’t you the most anxious Brother Junmo?”

“Was it your place to speak! Sect Leader, aren’t you amazing!”

Yang Junmo turned his head and pretended to be angry.

Su Chengyu smiled at this scene and stepped forward to pat Yang Junmo on the shoulder.

Yang Junmo was stunned for a moment, then his expression became serious.

“Also something to help me with?”

Su Chengyu nodded.

Yang Junmo’s current status was quite special. With Yang Chengyin’s betrayal of Xia Country, Yang Junmo was naturally implicated as well. Even without any evidence of his involvement in Yang Chengyin’s affairs, the mistakes of his father would not easily escape him.

And for him to appear openly in the Capital City again, someone must bear responsibility for him, and now in such a vast Capital City, the only one still willing to do it was Su Chengyu.

“Actually, you don’t need to worry about me. I’m just a lonely, idle person, even if someday I’m really unable to appear in the Capital City, it’s no big deal.”

Su Chengyu shook his head, his expression turning grave.

“Oh, what’s the big deal about being wanted? The world is so big, can I, Yang Junmo, really not find a place to stay?”

Su Chengyu smiled, knowing that Yang Junmo could accept such a lifestyle, but he did not wish it upon him.

Su Chengyu glanced at Xu Nanzhi, prompting her to say, “Chengyu made this decision not just for you, so you don’t need to think too much, but…”

She glanced at Su Chengyu, and after confirming his meaning, Xu Nanzhi continued, “This matter will be taken seriously by him, and he will do his best. After all… you are brothers.”

After speaking, Xu Nanzhi looked up at Su Chengyu, the last sentence was something she added intentionally, but she knew even if Su Chengyu hadn’t meant to say it, deep down he must have felt that way.

The next second, Xu Nanzhi turned her head to Yang Junmo, who was already showing a tearful expression.

“Su Chengyu, you lucky guy! To find such a partner in this life…”

Scram!

Su Chengyu didn’t say anything, but the kick towards Yang Junmo seemed to echo a curse that everyone could hear from the depths of his heart.

Afterward, the two of them left Qilong Court, leaving behind the people still inside the house.

Seeing Su Chengyu leave, Bei Tang Qianxiao couldn’t help but worry. Looking in the direction where the two left, she said, “Mengmeng, maybe we should follow them. If anything unexpected happens, it won’t be convenient.”

Mengmeng thought for a moment and then shook her head, “We’re not familiar enough with the Capital City, even if we follow, we may not be of much help, at this moment, instead of following, it’s better to help contact Su Chengyu’s friends in the Capital City.”

Finishing her words, both of their gazes turned to Yang Junmo, knowing that the trustworthy people in the Capital City for Su Chengyu could only be found out from Yang Junmo.

“Don’t rush, let me think. In the Demon Slayer Department, Su Chengyu doesn’t have many friends, and I remember there’s someone on the Dragon Soul Department’s side, and then…”

After Yang Junmo informed them of everyone, Chen Mengmeng and Bei Tang split up and left Qilong Court.

On the other side, after descending the mountain, Su Chengyu noticed Xu Nanzhi’s face was quite unpleasant and knew she had noticed the Death Soldiers observing the courtyard’s movements nearby.

Su Chengyu reached out to hold Xu Nanzhi’s hand, smiling as he shook his head, signaling her not to mind.

Still displeased, Xu Nanzhi said, “Are those people always watching your movements this way?”

Su Chengyu turned over Xu Nanzhi’s palm and wrote on it.

‘It’s much better than before, just at the foot of the mountain, they won’t necessarily discover what’s happening around the courtyard.’

“But.”

‘Living amidst a storm, how can you remain uninvolved? Just get used to it.’

Su Chengyu spoke calmly, yet Xu Nanzhi remained somewhat dissatisfied, just as she wanted to say more, a not pre-arranged stretch limousine stopped beside them.

Looking at the special license plate on the car, Xu Nanzhi frowned and questioned.

“You moved quickly, who sent you?”
