Capítulo 1794: Chapter 1795: The Matter of the Prophet

Ye Qingci is not someone who likes to ramble, but she knows that every word and expression she uses must be incredibly cautious at this moment.

After all, unlike others, Zhao Shijue’s identity is ultimately too special.

He carries the blood of Zhao Xuanzhen, and even with his own ambitions, Ye Qingci cannot guarantee what kind of decision Zhao Xuanzhen might make.

And if Zhao Shijue’s choice is not the one she most wants to see at the moment, then Su Chengyu will be completely trapped in a passive situation.

Luckily, although Zhao Shijue noticed the abnormality of the problem and was very concerned about the content Ye Qingci mentioned, he quickly grasped the crux of the issue after a brief thought.

Then swiftly shook his head, watching Ye Qingci with a wary expression.

“Saint Envoy Ye, let’s stop here. It was unnecessary of me. I haven’t asked anything, and you haven’t said anything.”

Zhao Shijue took a deep breath and turned his head to calm his inner peace.

Everything that happened today and the news he heard were truly terrifying.

From the great upheaval in the four major Taoist sects to the little bits of information Ye Qingci revealed, Zhao Shijue understood now that the person he chose to cooperate with was indeed a dangerous fellow.

Just from these scraps of information, Zhao Shijue felt like retreating at this moment, but he quickly cast the thought aside.

Because he also knew that the more dangerous and complex the situation, the better the chance to attain what he desired.

The weakening of the Ancient Clan, the upheaval of the four major Taoist sects, Su Zhedian’s return…

As a member of the royal family, he understood that all these matters were inseparable from Xia Country and his father.

As a prince, he was completely an outsider before coming here.

But now, Zhao Shijue found that this so-called outsider of his had hope of entering this world he shouldn’t have been able to touch due to an unexpected gamble.

Su Chengyu.

Zhao Shijue looked up at Ye Qingci, who had redirected her focus onto Su Zi.

“That Martial God from the Su Clan will likely come to the Capital City but won’t act recklessly. He will likely contact you directly. At that time, I’ll need you to hold him steady and immediately relay all information.”

Su Zi listened to Ye Qingci with a gloomy expression: “Deliver messages under the Martial God’s nose? Me?”

“You didn’t show such fear when you were in front of me before.”

Ye Qingci calmly looked at Su Zi, sensing the deep fear within her. But Su Zi had to be a crucial part of this plan, critical for both Su Chengyu and Su Zhedian.

“I’m not afraid, I just…”

Ye Qingci continued, observing the hesitant Su Zi, “I heard from him. You are the one cultivated for the continuation of the Su Clan’s bloodline, right?”

Su Zi glanced at Ye Qingci in surprise, then quickly showed a bitter smile: “Yes, considering your relationship with my master, how could he not tell you these things.”

With Ye Qingci revealing her biggest secret, Su Zi also let go of her last bit of pride.

“Su Zi, you must understand. You are not Xu Nanzhi. She had Su Chengyu who could risk his life to rescue her from the Luo Clan. You want to survive only through saving yourself. This is your only chance.”

Su Zi took a deep breath and replied softly, “I understand, but I can only deliver the messages; the other things…”

“I understand. The other things, you also can’t do.”

Ye Qingci bluntly interrupted Su Zi’s unfinished words.

Su Zi inwardly disagreed with Ye Qingci, but ultimately repressed her discontent.

With matters settled here, Zhuang Yihan spoke up as well.

“So, what should I do?”

“A few days later, a Su Chengyu will appear in the Capital City. I hope you can contact him directly and report that Su Chengyu is indeed in the Capital City.”

“That’s not Su Chengyu?”

Zhuang Yihan instantly detected the implied meaning and promptly asked.

Ye Qingci did not conceal anything and stated directly: “It’s a disguise, the disguise of an Earth Immortal. You can rest assured that, without engaging, no one will be able to discern anything.”

“Is it you?”

Ye Qingci shook her head: “It can’t be me. There are many eyes watching me in the Capital City, and I must appear elsewhere at the same time. Besides…”

Ye Qingci paused, and the others sensed there was something important she still had to do, so they refrained from asking further.

After thinking for a moment, Zhuang Yihan replied: “The plan seems fine, and I can assist. However, as a friend of Su Chengyu, quite a few people in the Capital City know. If I show up directly, others may not trust it.”

Ye Qingci understood Zhuang Yihan’s point and directly asked: “Can you find someone to help with this task?”

Due to her background, Ye Qingci consciously kept a distance from the Dragon Soul Department members to avoid suspicion, so she did not know anyone from the Dragon Soul Eighteen Guards stationed in the Capital City.

“I can’t say I’ll find someone to help. There’s too much involved in this even for me; I wish I could toss these thoughts aside.”

While speaking, Zhuang Yihan lifted his head: “But as long as you can ensure that even an Earth Immortal Realm needs to act to verify the opponent’s issue, I can find someone to replace me for this task. I can’t guarantee the deception, but I can ensure they won’t have a frontal conflict.”

Ye Qingci quickly understood his words: “Then I’ll trouble you with it.”

“It’s a small matter, just helping as a friend. As for other things, I don’t know.”

While speaking, Zhuang Yihan also glanced at Zhao Shijue. Despite being part of the Dragon Soul Department, he has his own background and stance; making this decision didn’t require much hesitation.

But Zhao Shijue is different, so Zhuang Yihan is quite curious about Zhao Shijue’s intentions.

“Your Highness, it’s up to you now.”

Zhao Shijue furrowed his brow and said, “Me? I know nothing. What can I do? I was here merely curious about Qingcheng’s incident, asking about Su Chengyu. Other matters, I don’t know and won’t meddle.”

Ye Qingci was not surprised by Zhao Shijue’s reaction; rather she was satisfied with it.

All are smart people; some things are just touched upon, but they already have the answer inwardly. Ye Qingci’s goal was this attitude.

“Don’t worry, Your Highness, I’m not seeking you to do anything, merely offering a suggestion.”

“What suggestion?”

Zhao Shijue asked curiously.

“Princess Lin An is now required by Your Majesty to stay in the Yaoguang Hall, difficult for others to access. Living alone might be a bit lonely. You, after all, are Princess Lin An’s brother; you could visit her if you have time.”

Zhao Shijue’s eyes moved slightly, then he quickly suppressed it, speaking coldly.

“I don’t need you to tell me, I was going to go already.”

Ye Qingci blinked, having already deduced everything internally.

After arranging matters for the three, Ye Qingci gazed towards the north.

She arranged these in advance precisely because she knew today was the day Su Zhedian set foot in the Yu Clan.
