Chapter 1949: Chapter 1950: Sect Masters of Two Generations
Qilong Court
When Su Chengyu returned to this place once more, he felt a rush of emotions.
Once upon a ti, this was his secret little courtyard, and now he returned with the true identity of Su Chengyu.
As a descendant of the Su family.
“Si Master of the Demon Slayer Departnt greets Tian Heng, Sir.”
Just before reaching the mountain, a few of the ordinary Si Masters from the Demon Slayer Departnt imdiately approached and knelt to welco him.
The news about everyone returning to the Capital was no secret, and the Demon Slayer Departnt had received the ssage early on and sent people to welco them.
In the now fragnted Demon Slayer Departnt, Su Chengyu had long beco one of its new pillars.
“What brings you here waiting for the Tian Heng Saint Envoy?”
Xu Nanzhi stepped forward to speak on behalf of Su Chengyu. At this mont, Su Chengyu couldn’t speak, and many matters had to be handled by Xu Nanzhi.
“His Majesty asked us to convey a ssage to the Saint Envoy, to et with him in the palace soon after returning to the Capital.”
“Now?”
Xu Nanzhi frowned, looking sowhat troubled at Su Chengyu. Seeing him slightly shake his head, Xu Nanzhi imdiately understood that he didn’t want to expose his condition to these people.
“His Majesty knows that it’s not easy for the Saint Envoy to return, but as it concerns the revival of the Demon Slayer Departnt, we kindly ask Tian Heng Saint Envoy to et with him in the palace soon.”
“He’s injured.”
Before Xu Nanzhi could decline, Long Xuan spoke up first, catching the two Si Masters from the Demon Slayer Departnt by surprise.
Long Xuan took a look at everyone, then sighed and said, “You can return now. I will enter the palace to et His Majesty personally to explain the Saint Envoy’s situation, so you don’t need to worry about other matters.”
“Yes.”
Long Xuan was indeed Long Xuan.
Regardless of identity or status, he was too special in the Capital. Since he said so, the two ordinary Si Masters naturally dared not continue to pester and quickly left completely.
After confirming the two were far gone, Long Xuan spoke softly, “Even if it’s true that you’re physically unwell, His Majesty’s side won’t be able to stall for long. I’ll help you gain a week’s ti, but after that, it’ll be up to you.”
Leaving this statent behind, Long Xuan directly flew away from Qilong Court. He had escorted everyone along the way just to prevent any more complications.
Now safely arrived at Su Chengyu’s residence, he didn’t have a reason to stay further.
Accompanied by a golden light streaking across the sky, Long Xuan didn’t give anyone a chance to ask him to stay and had already disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Su Chengyu cupped his hands to thank Long Xuan after his departure, and then led everyone into the courtyard.
“Teacher!”
The voice from inside the house was evidently aware of Su Chengyu’s return, and upon seeing him enter through the gate, imdiately ran over excitedly.
After the Luo Clan situation, the comatose Bai Huang was escorted back to the Capital by Xu Nanzhi and Ye Qingci. Whether anyone noticed is unknown, but undoubtedly they left no traces and successfully delivered him to Qilong Court.
Now having received the complete legacy of the Qiuqiu Fox Clan, Bai Huang had, in just a few months, advanced from a struggling Demon King to the Demon Emperor Stage.
Although still not quite enough in Su Chengyu’s eyes, he wouldn’t encounter overly troubleso situations unless overly showing off during his solo quests.
After all, he wasn’t Yu Yanshu, not having soone like Cui Manlou constantly watching him.
But after Yu Yanshu’s incident, Su Chengyu no longer wished them to venture alone.
After spending so much ti together, Su Chengyu had long regarded this little fellow as his own disciple.
He patted Bai Huang’s head and then looked at Xu Nanzhi, who understood without words and imdiately said.
“Your teacher can’t speak currently, but he acknowledges your efforts these days and hopes you’ll continue to strive.”
Bai Huang froze, looking at Su Chengyu evidently with so worry.
This ti Xu Nanzhi didn’t wait for Su Chengyu’s cue and spoke directly, “Don’t worry, your teacher is not so frail as to need your concern, plus we have so many people here.”
“Exactly, if the sky were to fall, it’s us tall ones who would bear it, not you, and certainly not your injured teacher,”
Yang Junmo joked from the side.
Bei Tang Qian Xiao snorted coldly when he saw this, “Still soone watching him, yet here he is hiding at Su Chengyu’s place.”
“So what? We’re brothers, helping each other is only natural, isn’t that right, Su Chengyu?”
Yang Junmo put his arm around Su Chengyu’s shoulder, looking at him, and Su Chengyu, unable to speak, viewed the scene with amusent and resignation.
“See, my brother doesn’t speak at all. This is what they call brotherhood in the heart…”
“Get out! Enough of your nonsense, find sowhere to rest.”
Bei Tang Qian Xiao smacked Yang Junmo on the back of the head without rcy and then looked at Bai Huang next to him.
Bai Huang imdiately understood and said, “Co with , the rooms have already been arranged.”
While still at the foot of the mountain, Bai Huang already knew several people were coming back, so before they entered, he had arranged living arrangents.
Bai Huang took charge, Xu Nanzhi managed beside him, even though at the mont Su Chengyu couldn’t express himself, everything proceeded without mishaps.
Everything was carried out steadily and orderly, which assured Su Chengyu, who was worried before returning to the Capital, about being in a Mute Zen state.
Seeing Bai Huang already beginning to settle everyone and getting along with Ao Tian’s group, Su Chengyu ceased to focus on the people and instead turned towards the inner hall.
Xu Nanzhi, thinking to follow, was refused by Su Chengyu, who walked alone into the inner hall of Qilong Court.
“You’re back?”
Bang.
Upon hearing Qiu Tianlin’s voice, Su Chengyu imdiately dropped to his knees in salute.
Qiu Tianlin’s now transparent Spiritual Body slowly appeared, helping Su Chengyu up from the ground.
“Why so formal, anyone who didn’t know would think I’m about to depart now?”
Su Chengyu bit his lips, lowered his head without speaking, only showing a face full of guilt.
“What’s the matter? Can’t co to terms with the old man dying?”
Su Chengyu shook his head, deeply conflicted inside, unsure of how to express his complex feelings.
Qiu Tianlin chuckled and said, “It seems little girl Ye has told you everything about , so… are you willing to take over the Heavenly Punishnt Departnt?”
Su Chengyu raised his head, showing so hesitation. It wasn’t unwillingness, but this matter involved many facets, and with the Demon Slayer Departnt as fragnted as it was, he had to consider the entire Capital’s situation.
“Why worry, I know there are people outside who want to push you as the new Sect Master of the Demon Slayer Departnt, His Majesty likely has this idea too. But I don’t think that hot potato suits you. After all, what inheritance is there in the ss left by Yang Chengyin?”
Su Chengyu frowned at Qiu Tianlin, evidently still hesitant.
Qiu Tianlin sighed, “I know the Demon Slayer Departnt is a place your grandfather once led, and you must have particular feelings about it. I can understand, but you should know that even if you want it, it’s not necessarily an easy path.”
Su Chengyu shook his head, clearly not concerned about this matter.
“Alright, then I’ll try another approach. Who says a person can only hold one Sect Master position?”
