Chapter 1514 - 1515: Besieged on All Sides
Zhao Shijue spoke with difficulty, "It’s not entirely that, master’s words are indeed very important to me, after all, he seldom speaks to me, but I know that once he does, it usually involves secrets of the universe that I am not privy to. And the reason I wish to forge good relations with you, is also partly because I genuinely believe in your prospects in the Capital City."
"Oh?"
Su Chengyu looked at Zhao Shijue with some surprise: "I know that there are many people in the Capital City who do not think highly of my future, you are the first to openly say that you look favorably upon it."
Zhao Shijue shook his head: "I can also see the situation clearly, I know that many people want you dead... sorry, I shouldn’t have said that."
"No problem, it’s a well-known fact."
Su Chengyu didn’t mind, and he spoke openly. The more Zhao Shijue could say such things, the more it demonstrated that he was speaking sincerely at this moment.
Zhao Shijue nodded before continuing, "But isn’t that the case for everyone? When Long Xuan was just growing up, hailed as the future of the Long family, how many people hoped that Long Xuan would fail along the way?"
"Long Xuan proved everything with his own strength, and he did have a strong background to begin with."
"I know that."
Zhao Shijue nodded emphatically as he looked at Su Chengyu, finally reaching his main point: "I don’t know much about the grudges between you and the Ancient Clan. To be honest, I don’t know much about the Ancient Clan. If not for the Demonic Path re-emerging now and the Ancient Clan starting to strengthen their connections with the Capital City, I would know even less about them. But there is one person I understand very well."
"Who?"
