Chapter 1436 - 1437 The Only Concept
Xu Zijing’s answer made Su Chengyu subconsciously arch his eyebrows; he clearly understood Xu Zijing’s meaning, but understanding was one thing, actually doing it was another.
"Perhaps as you say, doing so might indeed make things go smoother, but it also increases the risk..."
"Risk? What risk?"
Xu Zijing interrupted Su Chengyu bluntly: "Within the Demon Slayer Department, Mo Ningchen certainly won’t be the most loyal one, neither to the Demon Slayer Department nor to Xia Country. You understand this, I am clear on it, and the Sect Master is acutely aware. But when it comes to official business, as long as he’s brought into the open, he will naturally make a decision among risks, just like how he decided to bet on you in the first place."
Su Chengyu said with a heavy tone: "But in doing so, the relationship between him and me will completely have no room for easing."
"Do you have one now?"
Xu Zijing counter-asked: "Different paths do not lead to common goals. I can understand your thinking, but since you’re joining the Demon Slayer Department, you’ll inevitably have to interact with all the Demon Slayer Saints, including me. Right now you can indeed keep to yourselves, but what about in the future? In this regard, you’re not as perceptive as Mo Ningchen."
Su Chengyu fell silent and looked towards the other side of the room: "Mo Ningchen already views me as a thorn in his side?"
"At least, his relationship with Yang Qianyan should return to how it was in the past."
This sentence not only told Su Chengyu that Mo Ningchen harbored even greater hostility towards him than he thought.
It also made Su Chengyu understand that Yang Qianyan had never let down his guard against him.
