Chapter 158 Pupil Earthquake

It looked like the kid was about to grab his leg and start howling.

Su Yu was startled and immediately kicked out.

What are you doing!

What the hell? He just used some illusion magic during the telepathic communication to make him believe he was his superior!

An Rui was still somewhat shrewd. After being kicked, he scrambled to his feet and didn't do anything rash. He just pleaded with Su Yu, "Sir, I may not have done anything great, but I have worked hard. Please, please protect me!"

Su Yu snorted coldly, seamlessly immersing herself in the role: "Protect you? You should take a look at what you've done!"

An Rui's face turned even paler, and he said in a panic, "It's just... it's just that a few little rats have their eyes on me! I promise, I was never seen delivering the secret medicine! They're just a little suspicious. We just need to silence them. With you here, you can definitely, definitely manage to do it!"

After saying this, An Rui felt there was nothing wrong with it, but he watched helplessly as the aura of this "superior" became even more dangerous, and an imposing aura descended instantly.

"Silence them?" Su Yu scoffed, a hint of anger in her eyes. "You're dreaming."

Even a little mouse, and they even killed it to silence it—this guy has no taste.

An Rui trembled under the oppressive aura: "M-Sir, what does this mean?"

"It's meaningless." Su Yu was not happy and too lazy to continue playing the role-playing game. She looked him straight in the eye and activated a mind control illusion.

"Tell me, who are your superiors?"

An Rui's expression gradually became dazed, and his first words were: "You."

Su Yu: "...Apart from me."

An Rui handed over four names. The first was Fei Tutian, a core disciple of the Dongtu Sect, the second largest sect in the Qingyang Domain. He was presumably the liaison who was supposed to come here and the person An Rui was supposed to pass on a message to. They had discovered a rogue cultivator in the Mahayana stage, but they didn't know his background, so they passed the message up to their superiors for help.

The other person was Zhao Rong, the vice leader of the Blood Bear Mercenary Group. The secret medicine that An Rui sent was for him. As for its use, An Rui didn't know, and he didn't dare to ask.

As for the other two, they were from his own sect: Luo Qi, a core disciple of the Luo Fan Sect, and the sect's sixth elder.

Xiao Qi added that Su Yao had previously tracked down the Blood Bear Mercenary Group to find the source of the evil cultivator's secret medicine, and that's how she discovered this kid who delivered the item.

After asking the questions, Su Yu should have cleaned up his tracks and left, but thinking about what the plot consciousness had told him earlier, he paused for a moment and then asked, "What do you think of what you've done?"

An Rui still looked dazed, but under the illusion, he still spoke his true feelings.

"It's definitely not a good thing, but they're giving me so much more than I've worked so hard to cultivate. If my parents, siblings, and I can live a good life, I'm sure I'll become a superior person in the future."

Su Yu didn't speak, but An Rui kept talking, immersed in the illusionary world, looking like he was about to cry.

“At first, I didn’t know anything. I was just doing something for my senior brother. Someone died, and I had no choice. If I didn’t do it, it would be like I killed him. I didn’t do it, I didn’t do it, but who would believe the words of a junior disciple like me?”

"Anyway, it's just delivering some things..."

Su Yu frowned slightly.

It sounds like An Rui was just someone used to deliver things and relay messages. The person he was dealing with wasn't an evil cultivator. He only knew that what he was doing was probably not a good thing, but he didn't know anything deeper about the Demon Realm.

Su Yu thought for a moment, then erased An Rui's memories of him, causing An Rui to temporarily fall into a daze, and then searched for the token on An Rui's body that connected him to the real contact person.

He certainly wouldn't take such a clue; he just wanted to take a look and then use illusion magic to create a fake one, so that he could easily fool people if anything happened.

Su Yu couldn't find anything in the other person's storage ring, so she started searching them.

Su Yao and her group finally caught up to the outside of the city, their pupils dizzying.

Lin Zhisui transmitted his voice silently:

This girl was the same girl who ranked first in the Zhongling Realm before Su Yao suddenly appeared in the Path of Conquest Competition. After arriving in the Shangling Realm, she became familiar with Su Yao and the others, and was gradually led astray.

You Fujun barely managed to maintain her persona:

She sounded a little embarrassed by her first sentence, but her eyes never wavered.

Su Yao was on the verge of collapse:

All three of them had high-level invisibility talismans they had obtained from their master at the Xuanling Sect, so they probably wouldn't be discovered for a while.

Su Yu, somewhat speechless, found a flat jade talisman in An Rui's belt, memorized its appearance, and then put it back in its original place.

An Rui should wake up in five minutes, and A Yao should be able to see the target in a relatively normal way.

He felt that if this contact person didn't appear in the story, A Yao might turn to the Blood Bear Mercenary Group, who had received the gift from An Rui.

If he goes to find Fei Tutian, he should be able to avoid running into A Yao directly.

However, to increase the chances of A Yao going to find Zhao Rong, Su Yu specially laid An Rui flat before leaving and drew two crossed withered branches on the corner of his clothes with red stone, which is the symbol of the Blood Bear Mercenary Group.

Xiao Qi, who had just finished communicating with System 236, came to her senses and burst into tears:

Su Yu's pupils dilated in shock.

He slowly put the red stone back into his storage ring, and spoke somewhat hesitantly but with barely suppressed composure:

It's alright, he's wearing a mask, and his black robe also blurs his figure, so he's unrecognizable.

Even with the system around, his colleague You Fujun will most likely know who he is.

I'm having a strong urge to silence them.

Su Yu took a deep breath, stood up in one go, kicked the dazed An Rui, and imitated the hot-tempered older brother she had seen in the Demon Realm, sneering, "What a piece of trash, you can't even handle a small matter!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left, releasing the pressure of a peak Mahayana cultivator to make those people back down.

You Fujun, who already knew Su Yu's identity from the system, remained silent.

It's not unusual for the protagonist's brother to get involved in the main storyline.

But the other two were full of enthusiasm.

Lin Zhisui glanced back and forth at An Rui lying on the ground and the black-robed man who was gradually walking away:

Su Yao, her eyes shining, waited for the person to walk away so she could lead her two teammates to follow.

You Fujun:......

Colleague, look at the "good deed" you've done!

How can she get these two back on track in the main storyline?
