Chapter 105 Perhaps Miss Yuan has seen me on the wanted poster.

Having already wasted the afternoon, Su Yu decided to go out and wander around Baicheng the next day.

As the main city of Baicheng, Baicheng has a special notice board at the city gate to display wanted notices and bounties, and information about Su Yu and Feng Huaijin is also on it.

Su Yu was well aware of this, so she concealed her appearance and didn't go there to look. Instead, she wandered around the Danhui and Han Dange, then went to the stores under the other eight major forces, as well as some scattered small shops. She bought some local delicacies and then strolled over to Guanlou, where she found a place on the first floor to drink tea.

Starting at noon that day, the chief alchemist of Baicheng Danhui suddenly went mad and insisted on switching to Han Dange. His relatives and apprentices seemed unable to stop him and planned to switch jobs with him. Meanwhile, the people from Han Dange actually dared to go to the entrance of Danhui, banging drums and gongs, calling their friends and acquaintances to watch the show.

The magical artifact shops owned by the Sun, Wang, and Wu families inexplicably launched a grand duel to prove that the other side was the trash, resulting in many of the artifacts in the shops being damaged.

Several shop assistants and owners were either demanding higher wages, getting embroiled in family disputes, or being verbally abused by difficult customers. As for the few shop assistants who hadn't caused any trouble, they were all cowering in their shops, too afraid to utter a sound.

As Su Yu leisurely sipped his tea, a demon resembling a servant approached him and whispered, "Young Master, Miss Yuan requests your presence."

Su Yu twirled the teacup in her hand, placed it back on the tray, and looked up, saying, "Let's go."

The waiter seemed surprised that Su Yu agreed so readily. After a moment of hesitation, he immediately agreed and led Su Yu to the rooftop terrace.

The rooftop terrace of this pavilion even has private rooms. The waiter led Su Yu to the door of a private room, knocked lightly, and only opened the door after receiving permission from inside.

"Young Miss, the demon has arrived." The waiter bowed and quietly withdrew.

Inside the private room, Yuan Shengshuang still held Jingdian in her arms, with only one maidservant waiting beside her.

Su Yu was somewhat surprised, but naturally found an empty seat and sat down: "Is there something you need from me, Miss?"

Yuan Shengshuang didn't speak, but stared at him for a while before saying with certainty, "You did it. What do you want to do?"

Su Yu: "I'll help you."

“I’ve only met you once, what kind of joke are you talking about?” Yuan Shengshuang sneered. “Ru.”

The maid behind her suddenly raised her hand, and the fine ice light condensed into a sharp blade, aimed at Su Yu's head, neck, and chest—all lethal points.

"Only the Yuan family's shops were completely unharmed. Are you helping them or harming them?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Jingdian, nestled in Yuan Shengshuang's arms, finally realized something was wrong. Shocked and bewildered, she tried to stand up, but Yuan Shengshuang comforted her and patted her back down.

Jingdian: ...You demons should handle your own affairs.

Of course, if a real fight breaks out, it will have to apologize to Su Yu first.

Su Yu casually raised her hand to indicate that she was harmless. Although it was a gesture of surrender and weakness, Yuan Shengshuang managed to perceive it as an air of composure and fearlessness.

"Because I see that you will be the lord of White City."

The anger on Yuan Shengshuang's face paused for a moment.

Is this a charlatan or a fraud?

Does she look like she's being taken advantage of?

"You..." Before she could finish speaking, Yuan Shengshuang swallowed back the rebuke that was on the tip of her tongue, making sure it was completely gone.

Because at this moment, Su Yu had silently returned to her original form.

Her hair was as white as moonlight, and the most distinctive feature of her face was the two small, crescent-shaped red moons.

"Perhaps Miss Yuan has seen me on the wanted poster?"

"Of course I've seen him before," Yuan Shengshuang said, her eyes flashing as she immediately recognized the demon before her.

The chief of Yuanfu, the only awakened Moon Demon bloodline at the time, and a legendary Moon Demon who could see through all the secrets of cause and effect in the world.

If so, then his words would have credibility.

“Chief Su,” Yuan Shengshuang raised her chin, “you have quite the nerve. Aren’t you worried I’ll betray you to the Demon Palace?”

“Then the Yuan family should be besieged by the seven major forces in Baicheng,” Su Yu chuckled. “I almost forgot, including the Pill Gathering, it should be eight major forces.”

Yuan Shengshuang: ...Damn it, Shanghai has already planned this.

It seems he really is the chief of the Yuan family.

Yuan Shengshuang quickly changed the subject: "Then let's talk about the Lord of Baicheng."

Her proud demeanor remained unchanged, and the light in her eyes shone with an inextinguishable ambition.

She was still young and had no intention of staying in Baicheng for the rest of her life, but the opportunity to become the city lord was presented to her, so how could she possibly let it go?

The position of Lord of White City has been vacant for a long time because the eight major powers are unwilling to give way to each other. The city's daily decisions are only announced after these powers have held meetings and distributed the benefits.

To obtain the position of city lord, one must suppress all other forces.

Yuan Shengshuang went straight to the point: "The Yuan family is not strong enough to suppress all forces, and my cultivation is not as good as that of the elders of other families. How can I possibly become the city lord?"

"Just do as I say."

And he has already done it.

He made quite a few discoveries during his tour of Baicheng.

Because every decision requires the eight major powers to argue and negotiate before it can be issued, the city's efficiency is terrifyingly slow. Then there are the demons who carry out the decisions. One demon in this family will plant a few demons, and another family will stuff a few in. These forces already have their own frictions, and there are quite a few members who privately hinder each other or even make enemies.

Even more so, many of these forces arrange marriages for the sake of social standing, and there are also direct and collateral branches among these forces. The inter-demon relationships in this city are incredibly complex and convoluted.

Su Yu admires the ability to maintain this balance for so many years.

Divide, subdue, and suppress.

Whether they defect or join the Yuan family, they don't need overwhelming strength; they just need to tear apart the disciples of other forces.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Yuan family, you can go and reconnect with your relatives and friends now."

Yuan Shengshuang didn't ask him where he got so much detailed information about demons. If he was a Moon Demon, it wouldn't be too surprising that he knew so much.

As for those ancestors and elders with high cultivation levels, Su Yu took out a disc and pushed it towards Yuan Shengshuang.

"Let's seal them for three hundred years first. Are you confident that your cultivation will surpass theirs?"

Yuan Shengshuang accepted the array plate without hesitation: "Of course."

As expected of the chief of Yuanfu, even though he was wanted by the authorities, he still managed to seal a Void Refinement stage cultivator with such a grand gesture.

The condition for its use is that the target to be sealed needs to be prohibited from breathing for three breaths; the Yuan family will figure out a way to do this themselves.

After carefully putting away the array plate, she looked up and asked seriously, "So, what do you want?"

Su Yu stated bluntly, "Bai Yu."

That's quite an appetite, but for the chief of the Yuan family...

Yuan Shengshuang was silent for a moment: "The Yuan family can help, but the Yuan family will not get involved in your affairs with the Demon Lord."

Su Yu: "Deal made. It's a pleasure doing business with you."

"It's a pleasure to work with you."

After the conversation ended and they swore oaths to each other, Yuan Shengshuang quickly ordered her demon to cause some trouble for her own shop, hoping to make a big scene.

Staying out of things alone isn't always a good thing.
