Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 133 – Invincible imagination

"I didn't understand until I saw what you've done these days, and then I figured it out again."

Ye Luo praised sincerely: "Your scheming is really too scary, too terrifying."

Su Yun was confused and didn't know why he said that.

"Your Majesty is truly wise! Choosing you as the second envoy is an extremely wise decision!"

Walking side by side, Ye Luo said: "The Ye family is an old prestigious family with a long history, not like the new rich families such as Lin, Zhou, Lu, Wen, Tian, Wu, and Tong. The new rich families are ambitious, while the old prestigious families have experienced great storms and are more stable. Your Majesty trusts the old prestigious families more. I was intelligent from a young age and entered the Tian Dao Academy at the age of twelve, while others were still studying at the Xiang Xu at my age."

He was quite proud and said: "The Ye family has the best private tutors and the best conditions. Besides learning what is taught at the Xiang Xu, I can also learn what is not taught there! At the age of eleven, I had already helped my father manage the business of the glass factory, turning his losses into profits. I can see the thoughts of those around me at a glance, which is the difference between smart people and ordinary people! Until I met you!"

He looked deeply at Su Yun and sighed: "The first time I met you, I thought you were a fool. You knew that Qiu Shuijing had offended Your Majesty, but you still got close to him, offended Your Majesty, and exposed yourself. Later, I figured out that it was your strategy for self-preservation. At that time, I thought you were just like that, and I could do it too. But when you destroyed the Hei Hui City and broke the Hei Hui Factory, I admired you a little."

Su Yun blinked his eyes and wanted to be modest, but didn't know how to start.

"When you broke the Hei Hui City, made the Tong family defend themselves, and suffered a big loss, exposing themselves, and let other families divide the benefits of the Tong family's Hei Hui Factory, the Tong family's every move in the Hei Hui City was exposed to the eyes of the major families. This is your cleverness!"

Ye Luo raised his thumb and praised: "I consider myself to be a person with deep intelligence, who has discovered many secrets, but the more I know, the less I dare to act. Only you, with your bold and ingenious actions, left me stunned and could only admire you!"

Su Yun thought for a while, and he didn't seem to have thought of so much when he sneaked into the Hei Hui City at night.

"At that time, Master Tu Ming tested whether I wanted to investigate the case, so I had to go to the Hei Hui Factory with a stiff upper lip. I didn't know so many things would happen... but if I said this, I'm afraid Ye Luo wouldn't believe it."

Ye Luo continued: "After you broke the Hei Hui City, you also broke the Lin family's Thunder Valley, pushing yourself to the forefront and becoming the target of the seven major families in Shuo Fang! This is another extremely foolish move!"

He snorted coldly, his face becoming stern: "As an envoy, entrusted with the Emperor's secret orders, the first priority is not to solve the case, but to protect oneself! But you, for the sake of solving the case, were reckless and fearless, making me nervous for you while secretly resenting your foolishness. However, until Lao Piao's move..."He suddenly became somewhat lost and muttered, "I just understood the deep meaning hidden in your actions, and I realized how great the gap between us is..."

Su Yun couldn't help but say, "Young Master Ye Luo, actually, I..."

"You don't need to explain! I understand your actions!"

Young Master Ye Luo raised his hand to stop him and arrogantly smiled, extremely self-confident. "If I couldn't understand your actions, then I would be unworthy of being a scholar of the Tian Dao Academy, unworthy of being the inheritor of the Ye family, and unworthy of my ancestors! This all started from when you first entered the city and met Li Muge, the son of the Shuo Fang Marquis! Of course, it wasn't a coincidence, but a premeditated plan!"

Su Yun was even more stunned.

"Not only did you establish a connection with the Shuo Fang Marquis, but you also established connections with Tu Ming and the Master of the Grey Calamity, and used this to contact Old Piao Bazi!"

"You didn't directly take the official route, but secretly negotiated with Old Piao Bazi, and then controlled all the experts of the Green Forests in the three religions and nine streams, the seventeen states of the Shuo North, and the 108 counties! Without anyone noticing, you already had the largest underground force as a backing!"

"When the seven great aristocratic families made their move against you, you took the opportunity to show your strength and power to your potential allies! In the Yunqiao battle, your wings had already grown, and you moved your potential allies, making them feel that they could join forces with you!"

"So, you used yourself as a mediator to form an alliance between Qiu Shuijing, Old Piao Bazi, and the impossible-to-make-a-move Saint Xue! These three people could not form an alliance, but because of your appearance, they finally joined forces!"

Su Yun was dumbfounded. How could he explain this?

"In the Old No-Man's Land, Saint Xue was injured, and you carried him back and searched for a good doctor for him. Saint Xue then had a relationship with Old Piao Bazi! How could the Green Forests' Old Piao Bazi possibly join forces with the world-famous Saint? But it was because of your actions that the impossible became possible!"

"By now, your wings are full, and the situation is set. You can stand up to the seven great aristocratic families!"

Young Master Ye Luo casually smiled arrogantly and said, "Su Shangshi, did I guess right?"

Without waiting for Su Yun's answer, he suddenly became disheartened and said, "But after you did all this, I only understood why you did it after analyzing it afterwards. The gap between you and me is really too big. I could only understand it afterwards, and I couldn't figure out what you were doing beforehand..."

Su Yun suddenly felt calm in his heart and thought, "Young Master Ye Luo is really tired from living as such a smart person. He thinks too much."

Young Master Ye Luo was like a defeated rooster, his eyes lifeless as he said, "I've been investigating for so long, and all I saw was danger. I only saw that with even the slightest movement, I could be crushed to pieces, and the Ye family could be crushed to pieces. You're too amazing. You combined all the other forces to form a power that can resist the seven great aristocratic families. I'm not as good as you..."

Su Yun patted his shoulder, wanting to say something comforting, but couldn't find the words.

Young Master Ye Luo said, "You even brought Li Zhuxian, the young lady of the Shuo Fang Marquis, into your Ge Wu Academy. This move... this move...""He shook his head. 'Incredible skill! Incredible skill...'"

Su Yun had nothing to say.

"But I still don't acknowledge you!"

Ye Luo suddenly became spirited, his demeanor noble as he said, "Even if you are smarter than a demon and the wisest in the world, I still won't acknowledge you. Because there is one area where you and I have not competed yet. That is strength!"

"So, you gave me three Qinghong coins just to challenge me?" Su Yun tossed the three Qinghong coins in his hand, smiling ambiguously.

Ye Luo turned around to face him and said with a smile, "Those who enter the Heavenly Dao Academy based on their true abilities are all rare geniuses in the world. Naturally, I am also proud! I may not be as smart as you, but I can surpass you in other areas!"

Su Yun's heart stirred, thinking of Di Ping, and asked, "As fellow students of the Heavenly Dao Academy, it's common to compete against each other, right?"

Ye Luo nodded, "Indeed."

"Then, how do you compare to Di Ping?"

Su Yun asked calmly, "As a student of the Heavenly Dao Academy, I am prepared to challenge Di Ping."

Ye Luo's face changed drastically, stammering, "You want to challenge Di Ping? You dare to challenge the...?"

He could hardly speak, feeling an immense pressure at that moment, a pressure that made it difficult for him to breathe!

"A master! This person is a master!"

Sweat dripped down his forehead, and he muttered, "An unparalleled expert in the Dao of the Heart!"

Di Ping was the Emperor of Yuan Shuo, the Emperor of the East, and this was something that all students and teachers of the Heavenly Dao Academy knew. Su Yun, as a student of the Heavenly Dao Academy, naturally could not be unaware of it!

But even knowing this, he dared to challenge Di Ping and said it so casually. His powerful Dao of the Heart was simply invincible!

Ye Luo thought of Di Ping sitting on the Emperor's throne, and the pressure came rolling in.

Not to mention the students of the Heavenly Dao Academy, even those in the realm of Ascension felt a terrible sense of oppression standing in front of the Emperor!

This sense of oppression did not come from strength, but from a country!

Behind the Emperor of Yuan Shuo were tens of millions of people, thousands of spiritualists, and countless armies!

All these forces had to obey one person, obey the Emperor!

Challenging such an existence required an invincible Dao of the Heart!

Ye Luo's body trembled, imagining himself standing in front of Di Ping and challenging him. His body shook even more violently.

He couldn't do it!

Sweat poured down his body, making it difficult for him to breathe. Di Ping's face grew larger and larger in his mind, and his posture became more and more majestic, like a towering god, leaving him with no resistance.

Su Yun was puzzled and looked at him with suspicion.

Suddenly, Ye Luo knelt down with a thud, his hands on the ground, panting heavily, his eyes unfocused, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death battle."Is Young Master Ye Luo seriously ill? Is he like Di Ping, a sickly person?" Su Yun felt a faint sympathy in his heart, as he was once blind too.

People with the same illness naturally sympathize with each other.

When he asked Young Master Ye Luo earlier, he just wanted to say that if Ye Luo's ability was similar to "Di Ping," he could challenge Ye Luo before challenging "Di Ping" to test his strength.

However, for some reason, Young Master Ye Luo suddenly seemed to have fallen ill.

"I..."

Young Master Ye Luo's body twisted almost into a contortion, standing up in a strange posture. His clothes were soaked with sweat in the winter cold, and he suddenly looked up, gazing at Su Yun.

.

"I will definitely defeat the invincible Di Ping in my heart!"

Young Master Ye Luo's eyes were red, obviously having lost in his inner battlefield. He had failed to overcome his fear and attack Di Ping.

But his fighting spirit had risen.

After all, he was a genius of the Tian Dao Institute. In a short moment, he realized the reason why he was restricting himself and not daring to attack Di Ping!

That was the supreme imperial power, as powerful as the most powerful deity!

In Young Master Ye Luo's eyes, Di Ping's shadow overlapped with Su Yun in front of him. The supreme imperial power was as heavy as the earth and as towering as the sky, and Su Yun was a towering deity that suppressed him!

"I..."

Young Master Ye Luo's voice was hoarse, his mouth foaming, his body trembling, as if he was gathering courage.

"Su Shi Zi!"

He roared like a wild beast, "I want to challenge you!"

With these words, his soul suddenly felt relaxed, with a feeling of enlightenment, as if he had ascended to the immortal realm.

Young Master Ye Luo raised his head, tears streaming down his face, murmuring, "I said it, I finally said it... I can do it! I can really do it!"

Su Yun patted his shoulder and encouraged him, "I also went through a period of setbacks. There's no need to feel inferior. You will overcome it, Young Master Ye Luo. How much do you think the lesson I just taught you is worth?"

Young Master Ye Luo wiped away the tears on his face and resolutely said, "It's priceless! To show my sincerity, I will enroll in the Ge Wu Institute of my Ye family!"

Su Yun happily said, "Then I'll wait for you to challenge me. And remember to be on time for class."

Young Master Ye Luo nodded and left in big strides.

Su Yun looked at the backs of Saint Young Master Bai Yuelou and Miss Wu Tong, feeling pleased. "I have another loyal customer who will pay me... and not just him."

He was very happy in his heart. "If he fails the challenge once, he will definitely have a second and third time... with a little accumulation over time, I will slowly earn more money. Moreover, there are still other loyal customers like him."

Zhai Zhu: It's Monday again, and Ge Wu Institute urgently needs recommended votes and monthly tickets. Come, let me check your pockets!
