Chapter 715: Crisis_1
"Rise. True loyalty does not lie in words, but in actions. Anyone can talk a good game, just like that Su Chengyu. Previously, he expressed gratitude and swore allegiance to me. But the moment he defeated Lee Longqing and won the championship of the Dragon Soul conference, gaining fame overnight, he suddenly no longer regarded me as important."
He Lian Xuan changed the subject smoothly, steering the conversation towards Su Chengyu.
Xu Jianglong was a keen observer, he discerned a hint of displeasure in He Lian Xuan’s words and immediately chimed in, "The Grand Minister regarded him so highly, even saved his life. Otherwise, he would have died at the hands of Xiang Yuesheng that day. His ingratitude, his turning against the one who nurtured him, he’s nothing more than a white-eyed wolf!"
"Rest assured, Grand Minister, I am not a lowlife like Su Chengyu. My life belongs to you, whenever you command, whether it be to go through fire or water, I would not hesitate or step back."
He Lian Xuan slightly nodded, "Your determination is commendable. Speaking of this Su Chengyu, he has indeed disappointed me! He has grown arrogant with success, even killed Yin Huan! Before the duel, I asked him to see reason, to let his grudges with Yin Huan go, to avoid a fight to the death, but he stubbornly persisted in having his own way."
"Grand Minister, you cannot trust this man. He is bound to bite the hand that feeds him one day. You must be prepared. In my opinion, such people should be eliminated before they have the chance to spread their wings," Xu Jianglong lowered his voice and said.
"But he is, after all, a Si Master of Dragon Soul department, and now the champion of the Dragon Soul conference, at the peak of popularity. Even if he disobeys me, I can’t possibly eliminate him myself, otherwise wouldn’t it attract criticism?" He Lian Xuan frowned.
"Grand Minister, if you trust me, you could let me take care of this matter. You don’t have to worry about anything. I assure you that Su Chengyu will not be able to leave Jiangnan alive."
Being astute, Xu Jianglong sensed the intent behind He Lian Xuan’s words. He couldn’t openly admit to it, but this was his chance to prove his worth and he wouldn’t let it slip away.
