Chapter 1700 - 1701: The Luo Clan’s Ancestor
"It’s Su Chengyu."
Xu Nanzhi spoke softly; she was the one least aware of events outside due to her seclusion, yet paradoxically, she was the most knowledgeable about what was transpiring beyond.
She slowly lifted her gaze towards Luo Changping and blinked, saying, "I’m not surprised that Su Chengyu could persuade you; nor am I surprised that he could come here. I’ve always believed that whatever he wants to achieve, he surely will. Only..."
"Is Lady Saintess still hesitating?"
Xu Nanzhi smiled and shook her head, "Even if we succeed, the cost is too great. Regardless of how much Su Chengyu must sacrifice for me, the complete fallout with the Jiang Clan, the Xiao Tribe, and of course, the Su Clan, which is related to him, is inevitable. Moreover, what worries me the most is..."
"Over at the Capital City?" Luo Changping ventured, guessing at Xu Nanzhi’s concern.
Xu Nanzhi took a small sip of tea before continuing, "Indeed, the ones wanting to put the Luo Clan to death are ultimately the official authorities of Xia Country. Su Chengyu, now highly esteemed, with the title of Heavenly Balance Saint Envoy, is fast rising to rival Jinglong and Moon Han in influence. To protect one Luo Clan, Su Chengyu might struggle with his position in the Capital in the future."
