Chapter 329

Everything Is Ready, Missing Not Even the East Wind

The perception jade was temporarily left with Hu Qi. At this point, Su Yu had only one last matter to take care of: forging an identity. In the Human Realm, a genius could not simply pop out of thin air. Of course, even if someone was not a genius, they still needed a respectable amount of strength. Unless one chose to become an All-Races cultist, having a proper identity was vital if one wanted to travel openly across the lands. *** Yuexin Island. Su Yu summoned the old turtle once again and asked with a hint of curiosity, "Senior Xuan Turtle, when I fought Shan Xiong last time, a xuan turtle emerged from the lake. Was that your descendant?" Last time he had clashed with Shan Xiong, a xuan turtle had indeed surfaced, possessing the strength of the Lingyun Realm. Later, caught in the crossfire of Su Yu and Shan Xiong's clash, it had no choice but to breach the surface and flee the lake. The old turtle replied with amusement in its voice, "No, that was my wife." "..." Damn! In this day and age, even turtles had wives. Su Yu was speechless. Only after quite a while did he say, "Senior, honestly, being on one's own is pretty good. Being a lone turtle sounds pretty nice too. If you hadn't taken a wife, perhaps you'd have reached the Sun Moon Realm long ago." "..." The old turtle fell silent. Was this kid trying to advise him against finding female turtles? Did he know how many wives he actually had? "Young friend, you have it wrong. To cultivate the Dao is to cultivate one's Dao heart. It is to cultivate the union of yin and yang between heaven and earth, mutual affection, and joyous contentment. Otherwise, what meaning is there to cultivation?" Su Yu stayed silent for a moment and said no more, nodding slightly. Perhaps! Everyone had different pursuits; one could hardly impose their views. Xuan turtles were probably different from humans—taking a wife might not necessarily hinder their cultivation. Female turtles and human women were likely different; a female turtle probably wouldn't disrupt the old turtle's cultivation. As they chatted, they arrived at Yuexin Island. Niu Baidao had returned not long ago. He walked up to the tea pavilion on the raised ground of the courtyard and chuckled. "Brat, you just kicked me out a moment ago, and now you're coming to look for me again?" "You joke, Principal!" Su Yu flew down, cupped his fists slightly toward the old turtle, and quickly turned to Niu Baidao with a smile. "Principal, I didn't kick you out earlier. You chose to leave on your own." "You little brat!" Niu Baidao laughed. "Come on up and have a cup of tea. You've been rushing about day in and day out lately, far too busy. True cultivation is knowing when to exert yourself and when to relax!" Su Yu stepped through the air and landed opposite him. Niu Baidao poured him a cup of tea from across the distance, looked around, and smiled. "When you have free time, climb up high to look far, and take in this peaceful lake surface..." Su Yu chuckled. "Surging undercurrents everywhere—where is the peace? Why deceive yourself, Principal?" Was the lake truly calm? Hardly! It was only calm on the surface. Beneath lay surging undercurrents and murderous intent! Niu Baidao paused slightly, then nodded slowly after a long silence. "You're right. Indeed it is! The Great Zhou, Great Xia, and Great Ming Prefectures are already rife with turbulent undercurrents. Even the All-Heavens Battlefield and the three great seas are showing signs of chaos." With a sigh, he added, "Still, we have a bit of time. The major god and demon races might not be fully prepared either. Their Half-Emperors are in seclusion. Without the Half-Emperors stepping out, those two powerful races won't dare clash rashly with humanity. If they fail to wipe out the human race, humanity can occupy numerous minor realms. Once the roles of attacker and defender swap, the gods and demons will be in for a nasty surprise!" Right now, humanity was unwilling to abandon the Human Realm! If they truly were willing to abandon it, although humanity was not as strong as the two major races, it would certainly end in mutual destruction. By occupying minor realms and unleashing their Invincible power, human Invincibles would remain invincible inside those minor realms unless the gods and demons could shatter them. Naturally, the Human Realm could not be surrendered! Although everyone believed the Human Realm wouldn't be easily shattered, if it truly were lost and shattered by the gods and demons, every Invincible who attained the Dao within the Human Realm would suffer grievous wounds or even drop in cultivation realm. When that happened, humanity would be in dire straits. Su Yu nodded. "So things are still at a stalemate. Even if the gods and demons want an all-out war, so long as they can't overwhelmingly suppress humanity, they won't rashly go all out. Right, Principal?" "Right!" Niu Baidao nodded, then soon added, "However, there's another trouble! The Immortal race! Previously, the Immortals sat on the fence. But now, if Zhou Polong is confirmed to be attaining the Dao through the multiple divine character faction, the Immortals might swiftly shift their stance and join in." Su Yu said nothing. Niu Baidao continued, "Of course, everyone knows the Immortals harbor ill intent anyway. The real fear is if the Immortals join forces completely with the gods and demons." "Does Principal mean to say what I said before was wrong?" Su Yu said impassively, "Even if I hadn't said anything, Shan Xiong has been roaming all over, picking fights with powerful opponents and displaying so many traits. Sooner or later, someone would have connected the dots. I merely laid bare the crux of the matter. If anyone is to blame, blame Zhou Polong for indulging his disciple's ostentatious behavior!" He didn't believe he had done anything wrong! Never once! Since Shan Xiong challenged him and Zhou Polong tried to kill him with praise, why shouldn't he strike back? As for how much trouble this invited or how much crisis it added to humanity, go find the instigators. Strictly speaking, Su Yu was the victim. What the hell did any of that have to do with him? Whether Invincibles vented their wrath on him or not, Su Yu did not care. Going away this time was partly to lie low. If an Invincible truly thought Su Yu had acted out of line and came looking for trouble... at worst, he'd flee midway to the All-Heavens Battlefield. Leaving that topic aside, Su Yu said directly, "Principal, for my journey, I need an identity. A plausible identity—one that truly exists even if an Invincible comes investigating, an identity of a real person..." Niu Baidao smiled. "An identity is simple. I've lived for several hundred years; this is a trivial matter." To an old fossil who had lived for several centuries, it truly wasn't hard. He said directly, "Two layers to the identity, one overt, one covert. Overtly, you're a scion of a family in the Great Ming Prefecture. Covertly, you're a student I accepted. What do you think of that identity?" "..." Su Yu looked at him. Niu Baidao waved it off casually. "What, not good enough? It's nothing! In all my years, to be honest, I've taken in quite a few disciples of all sorts. Some I taught for a few days and ignored afterward; some I took in and packed off to travel on their own; some were just in name only—if I found someone promising and wanted to make friends, letting them take the title of Niu Baidao's disciple gave them some backing..." Niu Baidao chuckled. "If you want that kind of identity, I've got plenty. As for the real people, they're all alive. Some were crippled and took up ordinary aliases; some are secluded in secret realms, secluding themselves for decades without ever coming out... Since they're alive, even if an Invincible checks, they won't find that they've died." Niu Baidao asked with a laugh, "Which one do you want?" Su Yu was momentarily at a loss for words. After a pause, he said, "A weapon forger!" Niu Baidao raised an eyebrow. "You want to disguise yourself as a weapon forger?" Aren't you just going out to the ruins? Why pretend to be a weapon forger too? "Yes, a weapon forger!" Su Yu smiled. "Not too old, but not weak either. A ninth-stage Tengkong Civilization Master would be best, with a decently strong physical body—ideally having practiced a Heaven-rank cultivation art and achieved eighteen body tempers." Whatever cultivation art it was, he could replicate it. Su Yu had full confidence in this—not just replicating, but executing the real thing once he got the technique. With his extra apertures shut, unless Su Yu chose to burst with power, outsiders would find it very hard to notice. "Those requirements..." Niu Baidao, who had been overflowing with confidence a moment ago, developed a slight headache upon hearing this. Those restrictions were rather demanding. "Well, I do have a female disciple..." "Cough, cough!" Su Yu nearly choked on a cough. *Principal, be reasonable!* A woman? You want me to disguise myself as a woman? I'm not a pervert like Xu Bin! Niu Baidao gave an awkward laugh. "Hear me out. This female disciple of mine has a younger brother who actually fits your criteria quite well. Not too old, around thirty-five years old, something of a genius." To meet Su Yu's criteria at thirty-five was indeed considered a genius. "There's just one catch. This kid... stirred up some trouble in his youth. The reason he's laid low all these years is precisely to avoid having that trouble catch up to him; he's been hiding from it the whole time..." "What trouble?" Niu Baidao thought about it and gave a dry cough. "Actually, it's not that bad. It's just... he was a bit of a playboy. A few years ago, he slept with the granddaughter of a ninth-stage Sun Moon... Cough, normal mutual passion between a man and a woman, right? Everyone in the Great Ming Prefecture understands that! But that lass... she got attached, insisting on marrying no one but him. As for him, he didn't want someone bossing him around, so he went into hiding..." "Her grandfather has been looking for him ever since. If you assume his identity, you might run into a bit of trouble." Su Yu shook his head. "Forget it then. I have no desire to provoke a ninth-stage Sun Moon for no reason." "Aside from him, no other identity matches your expectations. What's more, he can personally recount everything about his life so you won't be exposed. To steer clear of his trouble, he's more than happy to stay hidden until you're done with the identity—three to five years, even eight to ten years would be no problem." Su Yu frowned. Niu Baidao added, "Cough, that girl's grandfather is in seclusion; he might not even come out..." "When you say that, I feel like there's a ninety-nine percent chance he will!" Su Yu was speechless. You never say things like that out loud; jinxes tended to come true. "Besides, what if the woman tracks me down? Am I supposed to kill her? What else would I do?" The identity fit his criteria, but it was fraught with headaches. Women and the elderly were both tough to deal with. Women, children, and the elderly were the three groups one should never cross, and this identity provoked two of them right off the bat. It was not a good choice. "That girl won't be able to find you..." Niu Baidao laughed. "At least not in the short term. She went to the All-Heavens Battlefield on a two-year deployment. She only left recently. A two-year post... You won't be using this identity for two years, will you?" Su Yu shook his head. That shouldn't be necessary. Once he reached the All-Heavens Battlefield, he would likely switch identities. An identity within the Human Realm might be disclosed to others, but changing identities in the All-Heavens Battlefield was something he could never reveal to anyone. Only he could know that. "I still feel it's unsafe. If her grandfather shows up and tries to kill me or force me to marry his granddaughter, wouldn't that be a mess?" "Not likely." Niu Baidao chuckled. "Her grandfather is only hunting him down to teach him a lesson. Do you really think he'd want to marry his granddaughter to a scoundrel? If you run into him, just speak politely. At worst, kowtow and apologize, and it should blow over. If all else fails, just say I've taken you as my disciple and that your master's consent is required, then tell the old man to come find me. It won't be a big deal." Niu Baidao smiled and added, "Relax. If it were a suicidal identity, would I let you use it? The old fellow knows the kid has ties to me. Otherwise, do you think he couldn't catch him? The kid is hiding right here in Tiandu Prefecture, and the old man isn't oblivious to that." Su Yu thought it over and asked, "Which ninth-stage Sun Moon is this?" "The head of the Yuqiang Department in the Great Tang Prefecture—a bit older than Old Hou, around my age, from the same era. Correction: the former head of the Yuqiang Department. The old fellow has already stepped down and is now one of the pillar figures of the Great Tang Prefecture. As long as you don't go to Great Tang, he won't necessarily bother you." From the Great Tang Prefecture! A ninth-stage Sun Moon! Su Yu said hesitantly, "Are you certain it'll be fine? He won't just slap me to death on sight without a word, will he? That would be too unjust!" "Absolutely not!" Niu Baidao curled his lip. "It was consensual! His granddaughter was willing. She threw a fit before: if the old man laid a finger on the boy, she threatened to kill herself! Otherwise, do you think someone could sleep with a ninth-stage Sun Moon's granddaughter and get away so easily?" "Scumbag!" Su Yu spat out the word, referring to the guy whose identity he was going to take. After sleeping with her, he pulled up his pants and ran! The granddaughter of a ninth-stage Sun Moon—was her status not high enough? Was her strength not sufficient? Was her position lacking? Or was there no feeling? Then why sleep with her in the first place! To make a girl threaten suicide for him—what an utter scumbag. Niu Baidao chuckled sheepishly. "You can't put it like that. In this day and age, cultivators... cough, seek freedom. Not to mention others, look at your teacher Liu Wenyan! He's just like that. Look at him—he has plenty of women around him who have waited for him for decades, wouldn't you say?" If that made him a scumbag, Niu Baidao himself would count as one too, and that wouldn't do. *I'm telling you, your teacher is the same way, so stop cursing. If you keep cursing, Niu Baidao isn't much better than that kid either.* Of course, his old romantic flames had long passed away; otherwise, someone might be making a scene at the academy right now. How shameful that would be! Su Yu opened his mouth, but for a long moment, he had no reply. True enough! Forget it, no point cursing. "What's his name?" "Cui Lang!" "..." Damn! The name certainly matched the personality—truly wanton. Cui Lang! "Can I meet him?" "Of course you can. Once you leave, I can keep him in an academy secret realm to undergo arduous seclusion. The kid is on the verge of entering the Lingyun Realm, so this gives him a chance to cultivate. He'll jump at the chance." He then frowned. "However... can you fool people? It won't be easy! How about this: I'll get you a good item later to carry with you. Unless a Sun Moon inspects you inch by inch, seeing through your identity will be hard." Su Yu was overjoyed. "Then I'll trouble you with that, Principal! Cui Lang it is then. At worst, I just won't head toward the Great Tang Prefecture." "Alright. I'll arrange for you two to meet later so you can talk more. Flirtatious though he may be, his talent is actually quite decent—one of the top geniuses in Great Ming Prefecture. Of course, he hasn't shown his face in years, so few remember him now." At this, Niu Baidao continued, "Do you need someone assigned to protect you?" "No need!" Su Yu smiled. "As long as he doesn't have powerful enemies, there's no need. Otherwise, why would an expert be protecting him? That would only make it easier to give away the disguise." Su Yu then added, "Principal, could this remain known only to the few of us? I'd rather not have too many people in the know." "Naturally!" Niu Baidao chuckled heartily. "Rest assured, I'm still counting on your safe return to extend the lifespans of us old fellows." Su Yu nodded and added, "It might take some time, though..." "Two or three years is fine!" That was fine then. Su Yu calculated: if he was out and it took too long, at worst he could find someone to deliver the items back. As for the cultivation arts, Niu Baidao already knew them. All that was missing was Heaven Yuan Qi. With his identity resolved, Niu Baidao gifting him a disguise treasure, the perception jade being finalized soon, his eighth body temper likely finishing in a few days, and his divine characters mostly outlined... At this stage, essentially everything that needed preparing was prepared. Then Su Yu thought of something and asked, "Principal, what about my own identity..." "Just announce that you're going into seclusion!" Niu Baidao smiled. "You were already in seclusion anyway. You detonated 144 Yuan apertures; entering seclusion for half a year or a year is completely normal! Of course, you'd better choose an empty spot for seclusion so people close to you don't find out—like that Wu Lan or whoever..." "I understand." "Then there's no issue." The two discussed the details for a while. Niu Baidao would bring Cui Lang to meet Su Yu tonight so they could converse, allowing Su Yu to learn his mannerisms, familiarize himself with his past deeds, and get acquainted with the relatives and friends he might encounter. Su Yu considered it; there was still time, no rush. Before heading out, it was best to make everything airtight. Of course, Niu Baidao knowing the identity was unavoidable. If even Niu Baidao didn't know, Su Yu would find it hard to even leave the city. Whether Niu Baidao would tell Zhu Tiandao, Su Yu wasn't sure. If he did, so be it; it wasn't a big deal. As for his identity in the Human Realm, it mattered little if they knew. If these people truly wanted to harm him, Su Yu wouldn't have any chance to resist anyway—he was currently staying right in the Great Ming Prefecture. *** That night, Su Yu met Cui Lang. They met on Yuexin Island. A guy who looked very young, bright, and handsome, with an air of a rogue about him. Upon seeing Su Yu, he carried himself with an undisciplined swagger, arms crossed, sizing Su Yu up with an amused grin. "Pleasure to meet you, I'm Cui Lang! Grand Elder Su, humanity's top genius who defeated Shan Xiong—I doubt Huang Teng or Qin Fang could necessarily match you either..." "To have Grand Elder Su use my identity is an absolute honor!" Cui Lang chuckled for a moment, then, before Su Yu could speak, laughed, "Grand Elder Su, you're far too serious. That won't do! Anyone who knows me, Cui Lang, knows my personality. I'm... not serious in the slightest!" Su Yu nodded. "I can tell." Cui Lang smiled. "Principal Niu probably gave you the gist of my story. There isn't much trouble, really—just that minor issue in Great Tang Prefecture. Everywhere else is clean. When I usually frequent pleasure houses, I stick to proper establishments. Only that one time did I fall for that woman's wiles and trip up. Ah, what a shame!" He let out a sigh! Cui Lang put on a thoroughly exasperated look, feeling that he had taken a terrible tumble. Su Yu was speechless. So you have a whole catalog of exploits? In the future, would some woman on the street randomly call out, "Master Cui, you haven't visited in so long, I missed you..."? Holy crap! Just imagining that scenario gave Su Yu a headache. "You haven't provoked the descendants of any other experts, have you?" "Nope, don't worry. I've always followed the rules in my affairs. That time was just bad luck. The woman insisted she was from an ordinary family. Sigh, and I actually believed her! An ordinary family? Women, they really can't be trusted!" Cui Lang sighed wistfully once more. "That was my only stumble. Nothing else. Also, I have a few fair-weather friends scattered across the prefectures, but you don't need to worry much about them. Even if you don't recognize them upon meeting, it's fine; we're not close anyway, just drinking buddies. If you run into one, just bluff your way through with 'Brother Zhang' or 'Brother Li.'" "As for the Cui family, there's nothing to worry about either. I haven't gone back in years. There's just my sister, Principal Niu's student, and she's been in seclusion for several years too, so that's not an issue..." Cui Lang talked for a while, giving a brief summary of his background. He was also a graduate of the Great Ming Civilization Academy! After graduation, however, he had run off to wander far and wide. He had visited many places across the Human Realm and even went to the All-Heavens Battlefield a few times—not to kill enemies, but because he wanted to see whether living beauties of all races were truly gorgeous. Truly dissolute! Su Yu listened quietly, observing every word and gesture. Cui Lang's background was straightforward: the Cui family was no major clan, but because his elder sister had been accepted by Niu Baidao as a student, the family gained a powerful patron, enabling Cui Lang to cultivate rapidly to his current level. A ninth-stage Tengkong Civilization Master who knew how to forge weapons, though his forging was only at the peak Yellow rank, not yet reaching the Profound rank. That was already quite good, and he was on the verge of entering the Lingyun Realm. A Lingyun at thirty-five was by no means weak. As for the physical body, he had indeed cultivated a Heaven-rank art, though only an early Heaven-rank one, opening 110 apertures, achieving eighteen body tempers, and sitting at the ninth stage of Tengkong. Such strength was formidable, comparable to someone in the early Lingyun Realm who cultivated only one path. He could be counted as Niu Baidao's disciple, or rather grand-disciple. He had always learned under his sister, and Niu Baidao occasionally taught him things—such as being a roguish rake, most of which was learned from Niu Baidao. Cui Lang mentioned this offhandedly, and Su Yu pretended not to hear. In his eyes, Principal Niu was still a respectable figure. Hearing this now and connecting the dots... forget it, better not dwell on it! The two spent the entire night conversing. *** Over the next few days, Su Yu cultivated in seclusion during the day and came to Yuexin Island at night, continuing to listen to Cui Lang tell stories of his past and experiences. This continued until the 15th. On this day, two joyous events arrived. Su Yu reached his eighth body temper! And the perception jade had been successfully upgraded by Hu Qi. *** Retrieving the perception jade from Mingxin Hall, Su Yu placed it into his sea of will once more and noticed significant differences. Hu Qi was truly formidable! That was Su Yu's impression! The perception jade had several new functions. Su Yu performed a quick test: when probed by different people, it could display distinct numbers. For instance, if two Shanhai experts probed him, it would show two red dots of light, marked Red No. 1 and Red No. 2. For the Sun Moon Realm, it displayed purple. The display differentiated them; though it seemed simple, it had gained the ability to distinguish auras. This was no minor enhancement, and Hu Qi had likely expended immense effort on it. Furthermore, compared to before, the detection was more specific. For example, a deeper red meant a stronger opponent—a powerhouse among the Shanhai Realm. A fainter color indicated someone relatively weak within that realm. The final change was that beyond passively detecting probes, Su Yu could actively utilize the perception jade to trace the other party's location. Of course, doing so carried the risk of exposure and being sensed by the target. Still, when needed, it was a very useful function. When a powerful figure probed him, it was unwise to use; but against a weaker foe, he could trace them back and kill them outright. Having acquired the perception jade and spent a week listening to Cui Lang's stories, Su Yu now possessed a comprehensive understanding of Cui Lang. *** On the evening of the 15th. Yuexin Island. Inside the hall sat two Cui Langs. Niu Baidao stood nearby, staring at the two for a while before finally speaking. "I'll step outside for a bit without probing you with willpower. When I return, I'll see if I can distinguish the real one. Su Yu, change into a different outfit. If you can fool even me, there won't be any problem unless an Invincible inspects you." "Understood!" One of the Cui Langs answered. Niu Baidao was taken aback. "Are you Su Yu?" He wanted to probe with his senses, but felt it would be embarrassing. With a dry cough, he said, "Stop fooling around, Cui Lang. Believe me, I'll thrash you!" "Principal, why hit me?" That Cui Lang said speechlessly, "You didn't mistake who I am, did you?" "..." Beside him, Su Yu also grinned roguishly. "Principal, your eyesight... tsk tsk, isn't looking so sharp!" Niu Baidao looked at the two, glancing back and forth before finally saying, "You kids playing this game with me? You really think there's no difference at all? Su Yu, your skin has a deeper bronze tint, likely because you just broke through in body tempering. This brat's skin is fair and tender, like a pretty boy's... Of course, outside, no one would pay attention to such a thing." The real Cui Lang broke his composure at this, giving a fawning smile. "Principal, how am I a pretty boy? I was born with good skin, I can't help it." Su Yu smiled and reverted to his true appearance, asking, "Principal, any major issues?" "There are still some issues!" Niu Baidao said, "Your transformation comes from a divine character, which is only at Tier 3. Even combined with the concealment talisman I gave you and your other masking divine character, fooling Shanhai experts is easy, and ordinary Sun Moon experts won't notice unless they inspect closely. But if an advanced Sun Moon inspects you carefully, you will be exposed." "An advanced Sun Moon..." Su Yu pondered for a moment and said, "If my divine character reaches Tier 4, would it be flawless?" "Tier 4?" Niu Baidao felt like cursing! That was a Shanhai divine character! You're fucking only in the Tengkong Realm! Just Tengkong! And you're asking me if having a Tier 4 divine character would work?! Su Yu quickly added, "Actually, I have another means of concealment. I'll bring that little fur ball and hide it in my sea of will; it possesses concealing power as well." There was another point, too! Among the innate racial techniques Su Yu knew, there were also several concealment arts. He wasn't sure if they could further augment the effect. Niu Baidao pondered for a moment and said, "You're taking that little fur ball? That creature is likely the scion of an ancient race. Bringing it along is fine within the Human Realm... but try to avoid the All-Heavens Battlefield, or you might provoke the powerful beings backing its lineage." "I know." Su Yu nodded; he would see when the time came. "By and large, there aren't any big problems. Sun Moon experts generally don't inspect a person in minute detail unless your behavior is overly glaring and arouses suspicion. Otherwise, looking at your cultivation art and outward demeanor is enough. Why would they probe you?" "If your divine character really reaches Tier 4, fooling the Sun Moon Realm won't be a problem at all." "Understood!" Su Yu nodded. Fortunately, according to Niu Baidao, unless a powerhouse of the seventh stage of the Sun Moon Realm or higher inspected him thoroughly, there were no major flaws in any other aspect. Unless he offended an advanced Sun Moon to the point of mortal enmity, no one would intentionally probe him. Now, truly everything was in place. "So when do you plan to leave?" Su Yu made a quick calculation and smiled. "May 18th. I'll wrap up affairs at the research institute, and then officially begin my seclusion!" "Alright. When you leave, just head out directly. It just so happens that Cui Lang's little wife went to the All-Heavens Battlefield and her grandfather is in seclusion. Going out to run wild at a time like this is completely reasonable. After being chased for so many years, stepping out now is his golden opportunity." Beside them, the real Cui Lang had no retort. It was true—even if Niu Baidao hadn't sought him out, he had indeed intended to slip away and roam free for a year before returning, as the woman wouldn't return to the Human Realm for more than a year. At this point, Cui Lang remarked with feeling, "Brother Su, let's make things clear beforehand: you can use my identity, but if you provoke any formidable enemies, you have to clear my name before they die. Otherwise, I'll die an unjust death." "Without fail!" Su Yu laughed. "Certainly. Once I switch back to my own identity, I'll resolve any and all issues that arose while using Brother Cui's identity. I won't cause Brother Cui any trouble." "That's good!" He was a bit intimidated. This Su Yu fellow was no gentle soul. And the enemies he offended were never weaklings. Cui Lang could never withstand that! As for anything else, he didn't care much. Even if Su Yu got involved with dozens of women outside, it wouldn't bother him. Fear that? What a joke! He had no fear of such things. If Su Yu's journey could resolve his own lingering trouble, that would be the best outcome.
