The words spoken on the side were naturally heard by Su Chengyu, but the complex emotions within him left him unsure of what to say at this moment.
If their reunion had not occurred in such a peculiar context, Su Chengyu was confident he could have handled it better, but now...
"Let's do as Uncle says then."
Xu Nanzhi was the first to speak, and naturally, the others had no objections, simply turning their gaze toward Su Chengyu.
Su Chengyu shook his head, "Everyone has risked themselves to get here for my sake, so I don't have the right to let everyone continue to take risks."
"I'm here of my own accord."
Long Xuan was the first to speak, then he looked at Su Zhedian.
Having guessed what this young man was going to say, Su Zhedian smiled and said, "Relax, even in the worst-case scenario, I won't die here. With your current state, insisting on staying would only hold me back."
Long Xuan frowned, clearly dissatisfied with Su Zhedian's words.
But in fact, Long Xuan knew himself best; previously, he had single-handedly blocked the Demon Silver Dragon and the two Cave Masters of the Bixiao Demon Path, suffering significant injuries. He dared not claim that if he encountered Yang Chengyin again, things would end well for him.
"Yang Chengyin entered with me, and you've done well enough. Logically and ethically, I should help you eliminate this threat. Besides... there's an old score between Yang Chengyin and me that hasn't been settled."
Su Zhedian said with a sense of relief, leaving others with no reason to speak further.
"Old scores, old scores, all you talk about are your old scores. Can't you just look forward!"
It was only Feng Jie Yu's somewhat complaining words that were spoken from the side, clearly showing that she had reached the peak of her dissatisfaction with Su Zhedian's reckless actions once again.
Su Zhedian smiled slightly and embraced Feng Jie Yu into his arms.
"I'm sorry, I owe you and Qing Luo too much."
"You're just a scoundrel, a scoundrel!"
At this moment, Feng Jie Yu looked nothing like an Earth Immortal, just a girl throwing a tantrum before Su Zhedian, who showed no impatience, accommodating her every whim.
"Stay with me for one last stretch, for opening the passage, Old Jin."
The long-haired man expressed dissatisfaction, clearly unhappy with the nickname Su Zhedian gave him.
"You're all shiny and golden; if I don't call you Old Jin, what else should I call you? Stop talking nonsense. I've granted you the permissions, so you now have the same ability as I to open the passage between the two realms. As for what you can or can't do, I believe I don't need to teach you?"
"Less nonsense, go away!"
The long-haired man said impatiently, as Feng Jie Yu and Su Zhedian had already left the place first.
Su Chengyu watched the disappearing figures of the two, furrowing his brow slightly, evidently feeling a bit uneasy in his heart.
Beside him, Xu Nanzhi comforted, "Uncle Su's words just now didn't seem like mere comfort; even in the worst circumstances, he will surely return alive."
Su Chengyu naturally heard this, but even so, he couldn't completely let go of his worries.
Yu Yanshu, standing beside, also sensed Su Chengyu's worries, glanced at the long-haired man on the side.
"Shiny guy, you must ensure nothing happens to my master."
"You need to say that! If he dies, no one will be able to restrict the passageway between our worlds, and I don't want it to become a public thoroughfare anyone can pass through."
Yu Yanshu didn't mind what the long-haired man said, and she looked at Su Chengyu, "Master, this would probably be the last bit of confidence Master has. Besides, I can feel that he's not going to die, but more likely to resolve some past issues."
Su Chengyu was momentarily stunned, and then Yu Shuang seemed to figure it out first.
"It's probably the same reason he had to visit the Yu Clan."
"Yu Shuang..." The source of this content ɪs novel✶fire.net
Su Chengyu asked, "What exactly did Father do by going to the Yu Clan?"
Yu Shuang hesitated for a moment, looked around, and Su Chengyu candidly said, "There's nothing to hide; we are all trustworthy here. Besides, these matters aren't secrets; they'll be known publicly sooner or later."
"Yes, for better or worse."
Su Chengyu answered very firmly.
Yu Shuang didn't quite understand the implication of those words, and the long-haired man on the side started urging them.
"Alright, the passage is open. That woman is back too; are you setting off now, or what's the plan?"
Su Chengyu was just about to speak, but before he could, Feng Jie Yu spoke first, "Leave now, no delays."
Su Chengyu lifted his head, sensing something amiss, and was about to question it when Feng Jie Yu stuffed a Yu Jian containing Su Zhedian's aura into his arms.
"I know you have many questions and concerns; this is what Zhedian entrusted to me last. You'll find your answers here."
Su Chengyu nodded, and refrained from saying anything more. After all, matters concerning their family couldn't be entirely revealed to everyone here.
For example, Long Xuan.
"About the Yu Clan, have this girl tell you along the way; I also want to know some details. Now, let's hurry on our way."
Su Chengyu nodded, and then the group stepped into the threshold to return to Southern Xinjiang.
With Feng Jie Yu and Long Xuan, the two Earth Immortal protectors, traversing the realms posed no pressure, quite unlike their previous journey.
Under such circumstances, Yu Shuang revealed the details of Su Zhedian's journey to the Yu Clan.
"After I returned from the Kunwu Realm, I also investigated the past involving Mother and Uncle Su, knowing that they were a couple. Back then, I merely thought you, brother, were the child Mother had in her youth, unaware that there were other matters involved..."
Su Chengyu blinked without speaking, while Feng Jie Yu snorted coldly, "I knew back then that guy wouldn't remarry, with things unsaid, truly..."
Feng Jie Yu initially wanted to say he deserved it, but upon recalling Su Chengyu's presence, she forcibly swallowed her words.
"Sister Shuang, continue, what exactly happened?"
Yu Shuang nodded and continued, "In those years, for my Yu Clan's bloodline inheritance, it required finding a clan member with the purest bloodline to marry an equally pure-blooded foreign Ancient Clan member. After a series of screenings, the Yu Clan's chosen candidate was my father, and the person nominated by the outsiders was Mother."
"Bloodline inheritance again?"
Beside, Xu Nanzhi furrowed his brow, clearly uneasy with the term.
In contrast, Su Chengyu remained very calm, "The willingness of Ancient Clans to resort to shameful deeds, is unsurprising with this involved."
Yu Shuang's face turned a little red as being called out clearly felt uncomfortable.
"Yun Qingluo could never agree to such an arranged marriage, even if the family demanded so, what exactly did you do back then to make Zhedian so furious?"
Feng Jie Yu struck at the heart of the issue.
Yu Shuang took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and slowly said, "The Yu Clan contacted the Shen Family, purchasing a Dual Cultivation Secret Pill left from the Ancient Times, and secretly colluded with the Cloud Tribe to drug Mother. With the Elixir and special rice, Mother became pregnant with me and Yu Feng that very night."
