Chapter 236: Chapter 164: Dialogue
"Hm?"
Su Yu reacted quickly. He immediately sensed something had appeared before him and hastily retreated several steps.
However, when that person appeared, Su Yu couldn’t help but curse, "Holy shit."
Li Longxuan.
He was an incredibly rare sight.
This wasn’t just because of his high status and immense power, but also because of old injuries that prevented him from being active in public for extended periods.
Therefore,
whenever Li Longxuan made an appearance,
it usually meant something urgent was afoot.
’Is what happened in the Spirit Realm that urgent?’
Su Yu wondered.
He never would have imagined that the target of this man—Cang City’s only eighth-rank Extraordinary and the special organization’s undisputed ace—was none other than Su Xing, who was hidden right behind him.
"Li Daofeng..."
Su Yu immediately snapped into a salute.
Li Longxuan’s somewhat murky eyes glanced at Su Yu as a thought crossed his mind:
’Is it him?’
’No... The premonition overlaps with him somewhat, but he doesn’t have the aura I sensed. It shouldn’t be him.’
’Hmm...’
"Your name is Su Yu, correct?"
Li Longxuan paused,
then finally said Su Yu’s name.
Although Li Longxuan wasn’t deeply involved in the organization’s current affairs, Su Yu was still a well-known figure among the new generation. In ten or twenty years, the special organization would likely have to rely on their batch.
Naturally, Li Longxuan remembered him.
And by extension,
he also happened to remember Su Yu’s ordinary brother.
"Yes, sir."
Su Yu replied with a straight face.
His eyes were locked on Li Longxuan, not daring to look away for even a second. Su Yu had heard that for an Extraordinary Being of his caliber, their perception was practically indistinguishable from foreseeing the future.
Su Yu worried that even the slightest twitch would expose Su Xing behind him.
In reality,
Su Yu was worrying for nothing.
Li Longxuan had already sensed another person’s presence. It was only due to the unique properties of the Heart Sword Stance that he couldn’t see what Su Xing looked like, merely his approximate location.
"Hmm..."
Li Longxuan silently glanced toward Su Xing.
To Su Yu, it felt as if the man were looking right at him. The hairs on his body stood on end, and his mind went completely blank with a loud BUZZ.
After a long moment, Li Longxuan’s voice sounded again, shattering the blankness in Su Yu’s mind and pulling him back to his senses.
"You should leave."
"It’s not safe here."
Li Longxuan said calmly, glancing at Su Yu.
He had, in fact, wondered if the person hiding here was somehow related to Su Yu.
After all,
their positions were so close.
It couldn’t be a mere coincidence, could it?
But,
Li Longxuan was, after all, a man of great experience.
He knew that some things couldn’t be judged by simple appearances. Besides, with him present, it wouldn’t be easy for anyone to leave the Spirit Realm. There was no need for him to rush.
Furthermore,
Li Longxuan’s intuition told him
that the person here might be able to help him in the future. If his intuition was correct, this applied to both Su Yu and the hidden individual. There was no need for him to antagonize either of them.
Even if
these two
were likely hiding some secret.
But the truly powerful always have a greater magnanimity. He didn’t care what Su Yu was hiding, so long as both he and the hidden person had no ill intentions toward the special organization.
Therefore,
it was time to sound them out.
"Understood."
Su Yu glanced at Li Longxuan, then immediately used a transmission Sequence to send a message to Su Xing beside him before turning and leaving without hesitation.
Although
Li Longxuan was exceptionally powerful,
Su Yu was confident his transmission Sequence couldn’t be overheard. This was the advantage of being a Sequencer: as long as you operated within the Sequence’s rules, it would perform its function regardless of the power disparity between individuals.
This was a feat that both Martial Artists and Qi Cultivators found nearly impossible to replicate.
For Martial Artists
and Qi Cultivators,
their techniques were useless if their opponent was stronger, as overwhelming power could brute-force its way through any defense.
After Su Yu left, Li Longxuan raised his right hand. Two metal chairs flew over from a distance, one landing behind him and the other in front of Su Xing.
This was one of Li Longxuan’s Sequences, something Su Xing knew a little about. He glanced at Li Longxuan, then at the Heart Sword Stance enveloping him, unsure of what to do.
’If’
’Li Longxuan is hostile toward me,’
’this is going to be incredibly difficult to handle.’
’I’m definitely not his match. The friendly relationship I’ve cultivated with the special organization would shatter in an instant, and my brother would be put in an extremely awkward position.’
Fortunately,
Li Longxuan’s next words immediately dispelled Su Xing’s suspicions.
"Have a seat. I mean you no harm."
"Of course, I have no interest in knowing who you are. You can maintain this form if you wish. However, there are a few things I’d like to ask you."
SCRAPE...
It was the sound of a chair dragging across the ground.
Su Xing didn’t stand on ceremony. He pulled the chair under him and sat down, deliberately lowering his voice as he spoke:
"Elder Li."
"What is it you wished to ask of this junior?"
