Chapter 1330: Northern Border of Xia Country
"You Ming’s gaze fell on Su Chengyu after he finished speaking, clearly addressing him with his final remark."
Mo Ningchen noticed You Ming’s less than friendly demeanor towards Su Chengyu and quickly tried to smooth things over, "Isn’t this mission just getting started? Perhaps Su Chengyu could also complete it perfectly this time."
"Complete it perfectly? Hmph."
You Ming glanced at Su Chengyu lightly without saying anything else and diverted his attention, while Su Chengyu had already discerned his intention in this subtle reaction.
Mo Ningchen whispered to Su Chengyu, "Don’t take it to heart, this guy is one of the few in the Demon Slayer Department who admires the Holy Envoy of Shocking Dragon."
"It shows," Su Chengyu responded with a friendly smile, "Even if we successfully complete this mission, it still couldn’t compare to what Xu Zijing did back then, could it?"
Scratching his head, Mo Ningchen replied, "You’re right about that; after all, that was a mission he completed alone after discovering everything by himself. You know, in foreign lands, it’s much more troublesome for the Demon Slayer Department to provide support. That’s why the department generally doesn’t allow anyone to operate solo anymore when carrying out international missions."
Su Chengyu blinked, "What about the time with the Cold Moon Envoy?"
Mo Ningchen shook his head, "That was different; it seems that was at Ye Qingci’s own request, and it involved a whole mess of issues with the Dragon Soul Department. I’m not entirely sure about the details."
Su Chengyu felt he somewhat understood, Ye Qingci’s assignment was obviously related to his position, and if he couldn’t successfully kill the Ping Shan Demon Monarch alone, Ye Qingci was likely to be recalled to the Dragon Soul Department.
In the following days, Su Chengyu seldom spoke with You Ming and only asked Mo Ningchen about some internal matters of the Demon Slayer Department.
