Chapter 201 Communication

Su Yu sat down, wanting to see what Su Yao was up to.

He picked up the cup of tea that had been given to him, took a sip, and raised an eyebrow, signaling her to start making excuses.

This tea tastes familiar; it seems to be the one he kept in the storage cabinet inside the tent.

Su Yao cleared her throat, adopting a serious demeanor, and asked, "Brother, you two are living together. How far have you progressed? Do you really like him?"

It turns out to be gossip.

"Cough cough—" Su Yu choked on her tea, and a physiological blush rose on her face.

Su Yao immediately burst into laughter, leaning forward against the table, propping her chin up as she looked at Su Yu, intending to continue steer the conversation in that direction: "Oh, are you shy?"

Su Yu caught her breath, gripped the teacup tightly, and swiftly pinched the little rascal's beak with one hand, remaining steadfast and unmoved: "...Yes, don't change the subject, how did you end up in the Demon Realm?"

Su Yao's eyes darted around, and instead of answering, she asked, "Brother, tell me, what do you like about him?"

This is an attempt to change the subject.

Su Yu gave a soft hum, her posture relaxing instead. After a moment of silence, she casually replied to her question: "All of them."

This is serious.

The tent flap was suddenly swayed by the fan.

Su Yu glanced over, then pretended not to have noticed anything and looked away.

Then, unexpectedly, she asked, "What about you and You Fujun?"

"Cough cough cough!"

Su Yao choked on her own words, her face flushed as she stammered, "What, what about me and Xiao Jun? Oh, we're fine, what could possibly happen to us, brother... you really are..."

Su Yu's eyes sharpened and became serious.

Could it be that something is really going on with Su Yao's behavior?

He was just making a casual lie because he remembered how Su Yao had carried You Fujun in a princess carry back then!

You Fujun, You Fujun...

Su Yu suddenly remembered the message from You Fujun when the system teamed up with him, and the strange situation of her calling him "brother".

This colleague had actually planned all along to abduct his sister!

He even felt guilty about being with Twelve. This colleague is really something else!

Su Yu calmly rephrased her words: "I'm asking why you came to the Demon Realm alone. Why didn't You Fujun come with you?"

He should find out what You Fujun means.

Yu Fujun is a Time Management Bureau employee who has done several missions. Will she go straight back to the Time Management Bureau after this mission is over? What will happen to her sister?

Or worse, is this person actually a player who falls in love in every world?

Previously, he only thought of himself as a colleague. He thought that You Fujun became Su Yao's friend simply for the sake of the mission, and that she seemed to be very career-oriented with a positive attitude towards the plot. Therefore, he paid no attention to You Fujun's good reputation in the Time Management Bureau, her mission experience, etc.

The more Su Yu thought about it, the more somber her expression became.

It's entirely Su Yao's freedom to like whomever she wants, and Su Yu isn't some controlling patriarch who forbids people from dating.

But he couldn't wait to investigate You Fujun thoroughly.

He subconsciously focused on listening to the sounds coming from Ding Yilian, the source of Feng Huaijin's voice.

The rustling sound of clothes rubbing together.

The sound of the heart and blood flowing.

It is within a controllable order.

He can know at any time.

Su Yu calmed down.

He silently watched Su Yao, as if waiting for her answer, while simultaneously speaking to System Xiao Qi in his mind:

Xiaoqi was suddenly mentioned in the learning materials data stream. Not quite understanding the situation, she subconsciously responded in a daze:

Seeing that Su Yu looked genuinely serious, Su Yao fearlessly said, "I came to the Demon Realm because I accepted a mission from my sect. Xiao Jun didn't come because she accepted another mission."

Su Yu: "Continue."

Su Yao: "The sect's mission must be kept secret."

Su Yu: "Then you shouldn't go back."

Su Yao slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "Why should I?"

Su Yu snorted coldly: "If you get involved in the struggle for the ancient demon's remains and don't explain yourself clearly, even if I let you go, other demons will come after you."

He said slowly, "Ayao, I have lived in the Demon Realm as a demon for decades, longer than I have in the Spirit Realm. This place is also my home."

His words and gestures showed no wavering or concession, as if he were simply telling Su Yao a given fact.

He holds a high position in the demon realm, so he must also be responsible for that position.

Su Yao frowned and slowly sat down.

"Okay, bro, you're right."

The test yielded a clear answer; it seemed her brother was inextricably linked to the Demon Realm. She would have to find a way to reduce the sect's involvement in the preparations for war against the Demon Realm.

Xiao Jun said the fighting would stop soon, and Su Yao believed her, but wasn't sure when.

There were some things Xiao Jun couldn't tell her, so she chose to take action herself.

So, besides her sect mission, Su Yao had other plans for coming to the Demon Realm this time. For example, she wanted to use the recording stone to record some materials as evidence to dispel the increasingly widespread Demon Realm threat theory.

Su Yao became honest, so Su Yu stopped pretending to be serious: "Just pick something you can talk about."

"Just don't make me worry too much, okay?" Su Yu lowered his voice, and at this moment, he looked like a gentle and caring older brother.

"Okay, you too." Su Yao secretly pursed her lips, thinking that if Su Yu could at least let out a message before disappearing so that she wouldn't worry, that would be a huge improvement.

After reaching an agreement, Su Yao gave a general overview of her mission, which was enough for Su Yu to deduce the whole picture.

Just as there are spies infiltrating the spirit world, there are also spies in the demon realm. Furthermore, due to the existence of numerous sects, in addition to formal alliances, various forces also have many private agents.

Ying Lang belonged to a legitimate organization, while the people who received the news about the remains and came to seize them belonged to the sect's private forces.

Among them were people who knew Ying Lang who had also worked in legitimate organizations. After changing their allegiance, they concealed this information from many of their former colleagues, all in order to obtain intelligence at crucial moments.

For example, the news about the ancient demon skeleton.

The three sects discovered unusual activity in their subordinate sects and issued a mission to their core disciples to infiltrate the Demon Realm to investigate, ensuring that the unusual activity would not escalate the conflict or hasten the outbreak of war.

It's best to prevent the skeleton from actually being stolen.

Su Yao said, "Besides me, the other two sects each sent one person."

As for why she hadn't made any move before, it was because her other two companions hadn't arrived yet, and she felt that she didn't need to interfere as she saw that the group seemed to be outmatched.

Just send a message back to the sect so they can deal with the force that acted without authorization.

Su Yu paused for a moment, vaguely having the thought of capturing those two core disciples and exchanging them for resources with the Spirit Realm, but quickly suppressed it.

It doesn't make sense to only tie them up and not Su Yao, but tying up his sister is something he can forget about.

Su Yu asked, "When do you plan to go back?"

Su Yao instinctively knew she couldn't say she planned to stay for at least another half month, so she simply said, "After I meet up with those two, we'll go back together."

Su Yu didn't suspect anything. After resolving the issue of Su Yao running to the Demon Realm and sorting out the incident of stealing the skeleton, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He concluded by saying, "Alright, it just so happens that Twelve is here too. He's also my sworn brother, and he's your second brother. You two should remember to get along well."

Su Yao's smile froze.

What tricks did that woman surnamed Feng use to bewitch her brother and turn him from a sworn brother into her partner?!

This was definitely premeditated!

In that instant, Su Yao added another item to her research plan on the Demon Realm.

She needs to thoroughly investigate this demon's reputation in the demon realm.
