Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 307: Another older brother has appeared

Yu Suifeng stood under the Evil-Expelling Monument and smiled, saying, "Zhang San has committed many crimes, but this time it was not Zhang San who committed the crime, but the thieves with the surname Dong and the surname Chi who entered the Imperial Palace with Zhang San. These two thieves killed Fang Jianqiu and Jin Tianying and are now wanted nationwide by Da Qin. They have already fled overseas."

The Evil-Expelling Monument's eyes rolled, its lips did not move, but a voice came from its mouth, whispering, "Then, where did that old zongzi brought by Zhang San go?"

"The old zongzi attacked and injured people and then fled." Yu Suifeng said.

Yu Suifeng breathed a sigh of relief, got off the stone stool, and asked in confusion, "Why did you also leave the Heavenly Court and not go to pay respects to the Divine Emperor?"

"What's the use of paying respects to him? He is not a true Divine Emperor, just an ordinary person." Yu Suifeng sneered. "So-called paying respects is just a show, kneeling together with other scholars, saying sweet words. I refuse to do that! Besides, someone else has already become the Sect Master!"

She leaned against the Evil-Expelling Monument, looking very intimate.

Yu Suifeng shivered and quickly pushed her away.

Yu Suifeng didn't mind and smiled, saying, "Zhang San has already been wanted nationwide, but you still don't know. Both inside and outside the Imperial Palace, there are experts everywhere, setting up a tight net, just waiting to capture you."

Yu Suifeng transformed back into his human form and calmly said, "They are after Zhang San, what does it have to do with me, Su Yun?"

Yu Suifeng sneered, "What does it have to do? My master is the National Teacher Yu Daoyuan of Da Qin, and he supports the Holy Emperor! If they catch you, regardless of whether you are Su Yun or Zhang San, he will definitely treat you as Zhang San and kill you!"

Su Yun was puzzled, "According to what you said, the Palace Master of the Imperial Palace, Yu Daoyuan, is a person of our Da Qin's Holy Emperor, but the Imperial Palace is under the influence of the Heavenly Court, and the Holy Emperor is in a hidden struggle with the Heavenly Court. Why is your relationship so chaotic?"

Yu Suifeng said, "Those who have reached the realm of Yuan Dao, who wouldn't want to break free from the control of the Divine Emperor? Even Martial Saint Jiang Zushi has taken the lead and even forcibly seized the divine energy of the Heavenly Court's gods for his own use. The conflict between the upper echelons of Da Qin and the Heavenly Court is deeper than you can imagine."

"Is that so?"

Su Yun pondered. It was true that those who reached the realm of Yu Daoyuan and Jiang Zushi would not want to be controlled by others, which led to the alliance between Jiang Zushi and the Holy Emperor.

"This Holy Emperor is quite formidable. If what the Divine Emperor told me is not a lie, then besides joining forces with the Great Demon God, the Holy Emperor has also colluded with Yu Daoyuan, Jiang Zushi, and others, and even many of the seven elders of the Heavenly Tower support him!"

Su Yun's expression became serious. This Da Qin Holy Emperor was indeed a formidable person.

What was even more terrifying was that the Divine Emperor personally bestowed him the title of Holy Emperor, making him loved by thousands!

Thinking that he would soon be competing with such a person for the position of Sect Master of the Heavenly Tower, Su Yun couldn't help but feel excited and cautious at the same time.

If he took a wrong step, he could fall into an abyss and never recover!

Su Yun changed the structure of his bones, adding a few more vertebrae to make himself taller. He also changed the muscles of his face, altering his appearance to look like someone in his thirties, and said, "It seems that the Divine Emperor's situation is even more dangerous than I imagined! He needs me more than I need him. He will definitely come to beg me."

Yu Suifeng looked at this young man. He was too confident, to the point that even though he was young, he had a charm that many mature men did not possess.

"You won't be able to leave the Imperial Palace like this. There are experts guarding inside and outside the Imperial Palace. If a stranger like you runs out, you will definitely be caught." Yu Suifeng couldn't help but remind him. "Moreover, there is a Bone-Reflecting Mirror in the Star City's government office, which is used to prevent criminals who are good at changing their appearance. When the Bone-Reflecting Mirror is used on you, it will reveal your true form!"

Su Yun's face slightly changed, "There is such a treasure?"

Yu Suifeng said, "It is said to be a spiritual tool invented by a person named Qiu Shuijing."

Su Yun's face darkened as he looked up at the sky.

In the sky, many scholars were flying, and some were activating a gourd, from which silk threads flew out like waterfalls. Others were summoning gu worms and spiritual weapons, such as large spiders, to weave nets in the air.

Yu Suifeng walked towards the outside, her eyes flickering, and she smiled softly, "You should stay in my place for a few days to avoid trouble."

Su Yun didn't do as she wished and had no choice but to follow her, whispering, "I am a man, is it convenient for me to stay in your room? If someone sees it, won't they gossip about you?"

Yu Suifeng turned around and smiled, "What's the problem with that? If men and women in our Da Qin like each other, it is common for them to live together. No one will gossip. If we can't get along, then we can separate."

Su Yun followed her to her place. Yu Suifeng had a high position in the Imperial Palace, after all, she was Yu Daoyuan's disciple and also the senior sister of the Imperial Palace. Her residence was magnificent, with multiple floors, study rooms, alchemy rooms, bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, and meditation rooms.

Yu Suifeng liked tranquility and lived alone, but there were some spirits helping to take care of the room. When Su Yun entered with her, a wooden bucket was walking out, handling kitchen waste.

"You can stay here for now. Three meals a day will be delivered directly to you by the spirits in the kitchen, and they will also wash the dishes." Yu Suifeng said, "If you need to wash up, go over there. There is a bathhouse and clean clothes."

Su Yun thanked her and said, "I see that there are many spirits in Da Qin. Why is that?"

"We don't have the Heavenly Market Wall in the Western Region. After the Ling Shi die, they often hide in vessels and turn into spirits. They help the Ling Shi with their tasks and make a living." Yu Suifeng said with a smile, looking at him with a smile. Su Yun was puzzled.

"You have been chased for so long, don't you want to take a bath?" Yu Suifeng laughed.

Su Yun also felt a bit dirty on his body, so he went to take a bath. He saw a bronze-carved Orient Loong God by the bath, with its mouth facing the bath. The bath was quite large, but there was no water in it.Su Yun pondered for a moment, attempting to activate the bronze Orient Loong God with his true essence. Suddenly, the dragon's body stretched out, its mouth spewing hot water, quickly filling the pool.

"So it's a spiritual artifact!"

Su Yun marveled in a low voice, "I never knew a spiritual artifact could be used this way. I could bring it to Yuan Shuo in the future and promote it. Every household could use it. Spiritualists wouldn't have to fight and kill, they could make money by crafting daily-use spiritual artifacts..."

He stripped clean and soaked in the bath, letting out a comfortable sigh.

Suddenly, Yu Shuangyun quietly pushed the door open and peeked in, only to see Su Yun already in the bath. She withdrew her disappointed gaze and said, "There are replacement clothes in the cupboard, they're mine. I'm tall and usually dress more like a man, so you should be able to wear them."

Su Yun agreed, leaning on the edge of the pool and laughing, "Miss Shuangyun, aren't you leaving? Or do you want to join me in the bath?"

Yu Shuangyun spat and closed the door, leaving. After a while, she knocked on the door and asked, "What do you like to eat? I'll have the kitchen spirits prepare it."

"Roast lamb, I like whole lamb."

"Tch! You'll burst!"

Not long after, Su Yun heard unfamiliar voices outside. A man's voice said, "Shuangyun, I heard there's a man in your room! Bring him out, I want to see which scholar has the guts to sleep with my daughter!"

Su Yun's face changed slightly, he quickly looked around. The bathroom only had one door and a small window, escape seemed unlikely.

Yu Shuangyun's voice came, sounding frustrated, "Dad, what's wrong with bringing a scholar home? He's my classmate, I won't do anything."

"That's good then. Where's that brat hiding?"

"He's taking a bath."

"...Don't stop me, I'm going to castrate him!"

...

Su Yun turned pale. When Yu Shuangyun came to find him, she saw the young master of Tongtian Pavilion, still wet from the bath, trembling in the wardrobe, clutching his clothes.

"It's okay, I chased my dad away."

Yu Shuangyun laughed, "Even if he caught you, it wouldn't matter. My dad's sword is fast. One strike and you wouldn't feel any pain."

Su Yun snorted, waving his hand, "You go out first, I'll get dressed."

Yu Shuangyun left the bathroom. After a while, Su Yun came out dressed in her usual clothes, barefoot. His white clothes, embroidered at the collar, made him look extremely dashing and handsome.

Yu Shuangyun secretly praised him. At this moment, her father's voice came from outside, "Shuangyun, a villain named Zhang San has come to the imperial palace. He's ruthless and has committed many evils, you must be careful!"

Yu Shuangyun agreed, looking at Su Yun and laughing, "Dad, don't worry. If Zhang San dares to run here, I'll stab a hole in him!"

Her father suddenly threatened, "You brat in the room, if you dare to touch a finger... no, a hair of my daughter, I, Yu Daoyuan, will castrate you!"

Yu Shuangyun angrily ran out, scolding her father and chasing him away.

Su Yun's face changed drastically, "Yu... Yu Daoyuan? The national teacher of Da Qin, Yu Daoyuan?"

After Yu Shuangyun chased away Yu Daoyuan, she returned, complaining bitterly, "He's so fierce, does he still want me to get married?"

Su Yun coughed, testing the waters, "Miss Shuangyun, your father is from the Little Saint Emperor faction..."

"He is him, I am me."

Yu Shuangyun understood his meaning and decisively said, "Don't worry, I am now part of Master Su's faction, I will never join anyone else!"

Su Yun looked at her deeply and smiled, "I believe you."

That night, nothing happened.

The next day, Yu Shuangyun got up to attend morning classes. Su Yun, after a night's rest, felt refreshed and thought, "I can't delay any longer, I must find a saint or several saints to protect Brother Winged Dragon!"

He went to the meditation room and sat down, opening his spiritual realm.

"Qingyu Town! Qingyu Town! Qingyu Town!"

Su Yun's spirit continuously chanted, the wall of runes slowly appeared, behind the wall was boundless darkness. As his understanding of the sealing runes deepened, chanting Qingyu Town no longer affected him.

Su Yun's spirit looked at the crack in the wall of runes and the dark space behind the crack, hesitating a bit, but still gripped the horn of the Winged Dragon, resolutely stepping into the crack in the wall of runes!

"No matter what, I need one or several saints to protect Brother Winged Dragon!"

He walked into the darkness, deeper and deeper, the dragon horn in his hand emitting a faint light, heading towards the unknown.

"Hahaha!" A child's cheerful laughter came, running past him.

Su Yun was stunned, it was him.

His younger self!

He hurriedly chased after him with the dragon horn, not knowing how long it had been, when suddenly he saw a line of light in the darkness. As he approached, the light grew larger, it was Qingyu Town, standing alone in the darkness, like a sunlit island in the endless darkness!

Su Yun looked back, only to see darkness everywhere, he could no longer find the wall he had come through or the crack in the wall.

Su Yun steadied his mind and walked towards Qingyu Town.

However, not long after his spirit disappeared behind the wall of runes, a huge eye appeared behind the crack in the wall of runes, secretly observing the spiritual realm outside the wall.

"Hehe, no one..."

"Those guys are all waiting for the brat to go in so they can kill him, but who would have thought that now is the best time to sneak out and play!"

Su Yun suddenly stood up straight, took two steps in the meditation room, and frowned, "Two legs? How do you walk with two legs!"

The sound of clothes tearing came, and Su Yun slowly grew a third leg, pushed the door open, and swaggered out.

Outside the door, a middle-aged man with a long sword on his back was facing him, sneering, "Brat, you're still caught by me. You dare to sleep in my daughter's room and skip class in the morning, you really, really, really..."

He turned around and saw the "Su Yun" with three legs, stuttering and unable to speak.
