Chapter 369: Chapter 369: If You Don’t Succeed, Die Trying_1
The death of Li Yuancang sparked intense hatred in Su Chengyu’s heart towards the Black Dragon Commerce Association. He swore that he would topple the Association, or else he would never give up.
"You all go back first, I need some time alone."
Stone Sword Edge and Gu Yi Fan left, followed by Fang Yue and Fang Qing. In the car, Fang Yue said, "I can’t believe some people would willingly take a sword for Su Chengyu and die for him. Does he hold such a great charm?"
"That’s because you do not truly understand him. Perhaps this is the brotherly loyalty among them men. There are always people in the world who would make you willing to do anything for them, even if it means risking your own life."
Fang Qing admired Li Yuancang for being able to make such a decision during that critical moment.
"I have no interest in understanding him. I am going back to Jiangyang first. Dad asked you to visit when you get time." Fang Yue said.
"Sister, I heard from our second brother that you aren’t quite yourself these days. You seem distracted and you’ve lost weight. He says you’re love-struck. I’m curious, who’s this man who has stirred your heart?"
Fang Qing asked curiously.
"Nonsense! There’s no such thing," Fang Yue promptly denied.
"His name is Su Cheng, right? I heard he saved your life from the Black Wolf Demon. Although the cliche scenario of a hero saving a damsel in distress is overly melodramatic, it seems like us women are quite fond of it. Sister, I support you. Be brave to pursue your happiness."
Fang Qing encouraged.
"Fang Ming, the big mouth, no secret is safe with him." fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm
Fang Yue cursed, then responded: "Okay, I admit, I do like him a bit. But he left without saying goodbye, only leaving a few words stating that the road of life is long and we may not be able to see each other again."
"What? He left without saying goodbye? What a scumbag! He stirred your feelings and then just left. Su Cheng is even worse!"- Fang Qing scoffed.
"Don’t say it like that. He didn’t lead me on, in fact he always kept a cold attitude towards me. I was the one who couldn’t help falling for him. His decision to leave without saying a word probably is his way of rejecting me."
As Fang Yue spoke, she felt a sense of desolation and sadness in her heart.
The desolation and sadness in Fang Yue’s heart were not only because of Su Cheng’s unexpected departure, but also because of her unrequited love. She had not yet found a solution to remove her Witchcraft curse.
She could not accept the idea of cultivating with Su Chengyu to remove the Witchcraft curse.
Over the past few days, she had no appetite for food. The impression left by Su Cheng in her heart during their short interaction couldn’t be erased.
"Sister, don’t be sad. If you’re meant to meet, you will meet again," Fang Qing comforted.
In the villa, Su Chengyu carefully laid out Li Yuancang’s body and sat silently beside it.
Xu Nanzhi walked over, took Su Chengyu’s hand, and leaned on his shoulder. She knew best how much doubt and responsibility Su Chengyu had on his mind at this moment.
She wished she could share the burdens with Su Chengyu, but all she could do was to keep silent and accompany him.
"It was my fault that Yuancang died. If I could just submit to the Black Dragon Commerce Association, none of this would have happened today. Everyone would be safe. Is my so-called pride, as they say, really a joke? Without power, what do my dignity and honor mean?"
At this moment, Su Chengyu fell into self-doubt, his Dao Heart was shaken.
"ChengYu, please don’t think like this. If you give up your principles and surrender to a tyrannical force like the Black Dragon Commerce Association, aiding in their evil deeds, I’m afraid Li Yuancang would be disappointed, and so would a lot of people. Your choice is not wrong. It’s because of your personal charm that Li Yuancang was willing to die for brotherly loyalty," Xu Nanzhi said.
Although Xu Nanzhi didn’t possess superior skills, she could always dispel the clouds when Su Chengyu was confused, and help him find his true self.
Su Chengyu hugged Xu Nanzhi, his heart feeling a little more settled.
"If I had agreed to them today, Yuancang would’ve definitely scolded me face to face for being spineless and probably would’ve severed ties with me."
Su Chengyu understood Li Yuancang’s temperament very well. He was truly a man of principle, and one who prioritised honor over life.
"By the way, who saved you today?" Xu Nanzhi asked.
Looking back on today’s situation, Xu Nanzhi still felt a lingering fear. It was too dangerous - Su Chengyu was at the brink of death.
"I don’t know him. But he said he was repaying a favor to his young mistress, he didn’t mention who this young mistress was."
Su Chengyu was contemplating on the matter. Among the people he knew, who had such a formidable background?
The middle-aged man’s power was at least of a Great Grandmaster in the sixth-grade realm or higher. If someone of his stature regards someone as his mistress, their identity would not be ordinary. Most likely, they are offspring of a powerful family or clan in Kyoto.
Su Chengyu had indeed visited Kyoto a few times for tourism, but he didn’t have any friends or relatives there. He couldn’t figure it out after thinking it over.
"So, this person is quite mysterious. His appearance today scared off Feng Huaqiang, so Feng Huaqiang won’t be making a move on you anytime soon. It should be relatively safe during this period," Xu Nanzhi said.
"That man said he could only help me once and won’t owe each other anything after that. Relying on others ultimately is unreliable. I can only rely on myself to improve my strength. I think it’s time to refine the Xuanling Pill and make a breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Realm!"
Su Chengyu had just broken through to the ninth level of the Qi-Refining Realm, but the enemy was too powerful. Only by continuously improving his strength could he protect his loved ones and prevent a tragic outcome like the one which occurred recently.
"No! In your current state, if you attempt to forcefully breakthrough, you will surely perish under the Heavenly Tribulation. I won’t allow you to do it." Xu Nanzhi panicked, quickly saying.
"How do you know about it?" Su Chengyu asked.
"Well... how do I know about it? Didn’t you tell me?" Xu Nanzhi said.
"I didn’t tell you ..." Su Chengyu countered.
Xu Nanzhi furrowed his brows and said, "I do know that cultivators face Heavenly Tribulation every time they try to break through. Your spirit has suffered setbacks and is unstable; you would surely not survive the tribulation."
Su Chengyu didn’t dwell on that matter; he hugged Xu Nanzhi and said, "If I don’t improve my strength as soon as possible, I’ll still end up in a dead end when facing a powerful enemy. Maybe it’s worth taking a gamble. I’ve always been lucky. What if I manage to survive by chance?"
He too understood the danger, but he didn’t have a choice. Whether it was to revive Lin Chuxue or to heal Xu Nanzhi, he needed to reach or surpass the Foundation Establishment Realm. He couldn’t keep living on the edges of life in the Qi-Refining Realm.
What meaning would a life like that have?
He had been pushed into a desperate situation, there was no turning back. If he didn’t succeed, he would die trying!
