Chapter 1501 - 1502: A Thorn in the Eye
Su Chengyu looked towards Su Zi, with a slight upturn of his lips: "Lone Star Yang Qianyan from the Demon Slayer Department, Jinglong Xu Zijing, any guard among the top five of the Dragon Soul Guard, or princes like Prince Jue, they are all better choices than me. But the Su Clan has already fallen behind by more than just one step, hasn’t it?"
Su Zi remained silent, which was as good as confirming Su Chengyu’s words.
Only then did he continue: "Before, I may not have been able to join the second-tier ranks, but once my appointment as the Saint Envoy becomes official, entering that circle should not be too difficult. Of course, I understand that my foundation is shallower compared to others upon my initial arrival in the Capital City, but doesn’t this also show that I have greater potential?"
After listening to Su Chengyu’s words, Su Zi bit her lower lip, still finding it difficult to say: "Even so, it’s highly unlikely that the Su Clan would choose to work with you. There are quite a few objections to you from the Su Clan’s side."
"What do you think is the purpose of your existence?"
With that one sentence, Su Chengyu forcefully pushed back Su Zi’s doubts.
Su Zi looked up at Su Chengyu and finally realized that she was at a loss for words. Su Chengyu continued: "I can’t reach the first-tier ranks, at least not in the short term; it’s definitely not a height that an outsider like me can reach. The Su Clan today also cannot establish connections with those from the first-tier circles of the Capital City. Either they already have their partners, or they are simply impossible to cooperate with."
Yang Qianyan, Mo Ningchen, and several princes belong to the former, whereas Xu Zijing, and Ye Qingci are clearly the latter.
"And in the second tier, if you can’t even secure this benefit for me, then you have no reason to exist."
With that one sentence, Su Chengyu gave this matter a definitive conclusion, and he turned to Su Zi for the last time: "Be clear that I’m not here to discuss with you. I’m merely telling you what I need you to do."
A chill flashed deep inside Su Zi’s heart.
