255: Chapter 255: Driving Safely_1 255: Chapter 255: Driving Safely_1 Shi Yi was taken back to the Dragon Soul Departnt for treatnt, but his ridians and Dantian had been destroyed.
The dicine and treatnt techniques of the Dragon Soul Departnt couldn’t possibly restore him.
“Dad, what’s going on?
Su Chengyu crippled , why aren’t you avenging ?”
Shi Yi laid on the sickbed, feeling resentful.
“Su Chengyu is holding many of my secrets, if those were to leak out, I couldn’t hold onto my position as the Grand Marshal,” said Stone Sword Edge with a sigh.
“So it’s just over like that?
Am I just going to be a cripple from now on?
Dad, I don’t accept this!” Shi Yi gritted his teeth.
“I’ve made a deal with Su Chengyu!
Within a year, I will follow his orders and be at his command.
After a year, he won’t be able to use these secrets against , and he’s promised to heal your injuries,” Stone Sword Edge explained.
“Dad, are you crazy?
How could he possibly heal my injuries!
My Dantian and ridians are destroyed, only an elixir made by a cultivator could restore them!
The Dragon Soul Departnt doesn’t even have such an elixir, so how can he…?”
“Su Chengyu is a cultivator!
Otherwise, why would I agree to be under his command?
If he weren’t, I’d rather see us both destroyed.
But if he’s a cultivator, that’s different; I can’t hold him back, so it’s better just to make this deal.”
“What?!
Su Chengyu is a cultivator?!
How is that even possible?”
Shi Yi had always considered himself gifted, even losing to Su Chengyu, he never thought that Su Chengyu could be that much stronger.
But when Stone Sword Edge said that Su Chengyu was a cultivator, Shi Yi was deeply shocked.
Cultivators were one in a million and his talent seed worthless in front of them, he didn’t even qualify to carry their shoes.
“He truly is a cultivator.” Stone Sword Edge asserted.
Shi Yi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face went pale, he was deeply struck.
“He really is a cultivator!
I…I will never surpass him in this lifeti,” Shi Yi said weakly.
Stone Sword Edge patted Shi Yi’s shoulder and said, “Son!
You mustn’t be disheartened.
There are always people better than you outside of your circle and sky beyond the sky!
It’s good to be ambitious, but you must also learn to assess situations, do you understand?”
Although what Stone Sword Edge said didn’t imdiately console Shi Yi, but he had to face the harsh reality; competing against Su Chengyu was like a firefly challenging the moon.
“Another pivotal reason why I agreed to this deal with Su Chengyu is his status as a cultivator.
Cultivation demands a rare talent.
However, even more important is the lineage of Dao (cultivation path) one carries.
Without the lineage, regardless of talent, it would be hard to step into the realm of cultivation.
Behind Su Chengyu, there must be a cultivation lineage, and those lineages that could still be passed down are very prominent and beyond our reach.”
At first, Stone Sword Edge agreed to this deal due to circumstances, out of desperation.
But after careful analysis on his way back, he saw this as a rare chance, a chance for his family to prosper greatly.
“You an, we could get in touch with that lineage of cultivation through Su Chengyu?
But we’re not cultivators, we can’t join them,” Shi Yi stated.
“No!
As long as we maintain a good relationship with Su Chengyu, it’s like having a powerful ally, right?
Now when I think back to the day at the Dragon Soul Departnt when the Cold Moon Envoy ca personally to back up Su Chengyu, I realize that was no coincidence.
I suspect the Cold Moon Envoy had already recognized Su Chengyu as a cultivator.
As he received the notice of the Cold Moon Envoy, Su Chengyu will definitely have a chance to join the Demon Slayer Departnt.”
Hearing this, Shi Yi gasped.
Joining the Demon Slayer Departnt was Shi Yi’s ultimate dream, even if he beca a low-level Demon Slayer Envoy.
That was still much better than being a Grand Marshal in the Dragon Soul Departnt.
In the Dragon Soul Departnt, there was a saying: it’s better to be a Demon Slayer Envoy than a Grand Airspace Officer.
A Grand Airspace Officer was a high-ranking official in the Dragon Soul Departnt, highly influential.
And although it might be sowhat exaggerated, it did illustrate that the Demon Slayer Departnt was held in much higher regard than the Dragon Soul Departnt!
“While Su Chengyu is still in his early stages, this is our opportunity.
I will fully obey his commands and assist him from now on.
Once he has fully grown, the benefits we will gain are imasurable!”
Stone Sword Edge had made the decision to entirely serve Su Chengyu.
Winning the favor of a cultivator had massive advantages.
The fact that a cultivator could produce elixirs alone, was worth more than a thousand other advantages!
Stone Sword Edge wasn’t particularly talented.
Without the help of an elixir, he would never have the opportunity to reach the realm of the Great Grandmaster.
But if he could get on the good side of Su Chengyu, the cultivator, he would definitely have a chance to beco a Great Grandmaster.
“Dad, I understand now!
It was foolish of to try and compete against Su Chengyu.
Now that I think about it, it’s quite laughable!
We should definitely latch onto this powerful ally; this is a golden opportunity for the rise of our family.”
After seeing the benefits, Shi Yi gained insight all at once.
With so much to gain, he had no cause for his previous resentnt and unfounded hatred towards Su Chengyu; he was even willing to kowtow and call him ‘dad’.
In this world, there are no eternal enemies; interests decide everything.
“You’ve co to understand, that’s good.
Now, try to recover from your injuries.
For this year, you will have to bear with it a little,” Stone Sword Edge advised.
“It’s not a sacrifice at all.
In fact, these injuries are so worth it.
If I hadn’t suffered these injuries, how could I have won over Su Chengyu?”
At this point, Shi Yi had completely forgotten his earlier resentnt toward Su Chengyu, he was now his beloved benefactor!
Su Chengyu took Su Xiaoxiao and Zhang Xiaomo out for a feast.
“Xiaoxiao, I need to go to Jiangyang for so business.
You should stay in the school dormitory for the next few days,” said Su Chengyu after leaving the restaurant.
“No!
I want to stay at ho, to prevent you from bringing other won there.
That house was bought by , it should only belong to you and !
Brother, can you promise not to bring them ho in the future?”
Su Xiaoxiao humbly pleaded.
At that mont, Su Chengyu felt both a sense of tenderness and pity.
He pinched Su Xiaoxiao’s cheek and said, “Alright!
I promise you that I won’t bring anyone else ho.
It will be our ho.”
Su Xiaoxiao, pleased, tiptoed up, gave a quick peck on Su Chengyu’s face, then opened the car door and hopped in.
Su Chengyu sent Zhang Xiaomo back to school, and then dropped off Su Xiaoxiao at ho.
“Aren’t you coming in?” asked Su Xiaoxiao.
“I got to return Fang Qing’s car,” Su Chengyu laughed.
“Humph!
Who knows if you are going to return the car, or going to ‘drive’.” Su Xiaoxiao pouted.
“Drive?
Drive what?” Su Chengyu was puzzled.
“You stop pretending, don’t think I don’t know your slang terms.
Brother, I can’t control your ‘driving’ activities, but rember this, drive safely.
I don’t want anyone calling ‘little aunt’.” Su Xiaoxiao said, looking away.
Su Chengyu finally reacted and rolled his eyes, “What nonsense are you talking about?
Get into the house now.”
Good Lord, even this girl picked up such lingo.
It was indeed a surprise!
