Chapter 1398: The Qian Family’s Shop
On the way to the Trade Center, Su Chengyu also noticed quite a few watching eyes.
But those eyes followed him very cautiously, and Su Chengyu could not determine whether they were from the North Luo Empire or if someone from the Bam Alliance had already set their sights on them.
After stepping into the Trade Center, Su Chengyu was certain that those people must have been sent by the North Luo Empire.
This Trade Center, built with the backing of the North Luo Imperial Court, was able to react so swiftly. If it were people from the Bam Alliance, it could only mean that the North Luo Empire had been thoroughly infiltrated by the Bam Alliance already.
But considering the situation in the City of Eternal Winter, such a possibility obviously did not exist.
Otherwise, the Bam Alliance wouldn’t have had to go to such lengths to gain control of the Tower of Eternal Winter.
Fang Qing, who had retracted her gaze, used a form of silent communication to voice her confusion to Su Chengyu: "Why would the North Luo Empire want to surveil you? Aren’t you here targeting the Demonic Path and the Nether Clan?"
"It’s natural to distrust those not of one’s own kind. The North Luo Empire indeed has a deep history with the Nether Clan, but who told you they have no interest in us?"
Fang Qing blinked, not fully understanding Su Chengyu’s words.
"We suspect that the Bam Alliance has infiltrated the North Luo Empire’s ranks. Do you think the North Luo Empire doesn’t suspect that our Demon Slayer Department might have some connection with the Demonic Path?"
"Is that why you can’t directly communicate with the North Luo Empire?"
