Chapter 1656 - 1657: The Peril of the Ancient Clan
As Su Chengyu finished speaking, the figure of Wan Qiu Daoist before him began to dissipate, transforming into countless wisps of dust in just moments.
Yu Yanshu, quick to react, swiftly produced a small bottle, raising her hand to gather all the dust inside.
After taking one last look, she then turned and handed the bottle to Su Chengyu.
Su Chengyu smiled and patted Yu Yanshu’s head gently, saying, "You keep it. Take it to Master Chang Chun when we return. Though it may not be much of a closure, it is, at its heart, a gesture of gratitude."
Yu Yanshu, realizing Su Chengyu’s intent, was about to speak when Bai Qiu tugged lightly at her sleeve, prompting her to stay silent.
This act by Su Chengyu was his way of separating himself from Yu Yanshu. What he owed Quanzhen was his own debt—it had nothing to do with Yu Yanshu.
After all, Yu Yanshu had been chosen by Wan Qiu as the inheritor of his Sword Intent. Although she wouldn’t be considered a disciple of Quanzhen, Master Chang Chun, as Wan Qiu’s senior brother, would surely show Yu Yanshu a measure of elder-like care.
Su Chengyu didn’t want this matter to interfere with Yu Yanshu’s future.
Understanding this, Yu Yanshu was initially reluctant, but she ultimately respected Su Chengyu’s wishes and stowed the jade bottle away.
"While the Sword Qi dissipates, this place remains absolutely safe. Do you need some time to recover?"
Bai Qiu turned to Su Chengyu and inquired. He was unaware of the external situation, so whether they needed to leave urgently or not was entirely left to Su Chengyu’s judgment.
