Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 943: Chapter 738: Joining

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

This day, Su Yuan emerged from the Qingming Realm, holding an Alchemy Box in his hand.

”Puchi puchi!” Ruan Ruan jumped off the bed in the room onto Su Yuan’s shoulder, rubbed against him, and then said something.

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan’s eyes shone with silver light as he glanced out the window.

”Oh? Back again?”

Su Yuan smiled unexpectedly and, after some thought, sent Xiong Chunyang downstairs...

In front of the inn, an old man with a gaunt face was standing like a telegraph pole, attracting the attention of many passersby.

Because this man had been standing here for several days.

This old man was none other than Li Su, who had gone and returned!

”Old Man Li, didn’t expect you to come back!”

Xiong Chunyang laughed heartily, walked out from the inn, and slapped Li Su on the shoulder.

Li Su was no longer that former middle-aged man; as a Full Moon Master, even with Xiong Chunyang’s slap, his body remained steady.

Li Su turned and asked, ”Young Brother Xiong, do you know if Lord Su is still inside...”

Xiong Chunyang grinned: ”Of course, if the Boss hadn’t told me you were waiting downstairs, I wouldn’t have noticed you’d arrived!”

Li Su quickly said: ”That’s good, that’s good.”

Xiong Chunyang had long seen Li Su waiting below, originally planning to inform Su Yuan but learned from Ruan Ruan in the room that Su Yuan was busy in the Qingming Realm.

Xiong Chunyang knew immediately that Li Su waiting outside without entering the inn was to show his sincerity, so he didn’t bother him and focused on his own cultivation.

Unexpectedly, this old man really stood in front of the inn for several days.

”Speaking of which, how did you find us?” Xiong Chunyang asked.

Li Su glanced at Xiong Chunyang: ”I followed the aura coming from you.”

”Ah...” Xiong Chunyang awkwardly scratched his head.

Speaking of which, Su Imperial Envoy could completely conceal his Burning Sun Level aura, while he, at the Waning Moon Stage, kept revealing flaws...

Once back, he must cultivate his breathing further!

”Come on up, the Boss is waiting upstairs.”

”Alright!”

Li Su responded and followed Xiong Chunyang upstairs.

In the room, Ruan Ruan had already transformed into human form and prepared tea for the two, standing next to Su Yuan.

Xiong Chunyang entered with Li Su: ”Boss, he’s here.”

Seeing Su Yuan, Li Su immediately paid respects: ”Lord Su!”

”Sit down.” Su Yuan called out.

”Oh, okay!”

When Li Su was previously restrained, he faced Su Yuan with caution and fear.

But now, having regained his freedom and with a different status, he seemed a bit uneasy.

Su Yuan looked at Li Su and asked, ”Li Su, why have you come back?”

Li Su had prepared some words in advance, but facing Su Yuan’s purely bright silver eyes, he was too anxious to speak.

Taking a deep breath, Li Su stated honestly: ”I’m old, with limited potential, and currently have no better place to go.

If Lord Su doesn’t mind my old bones, I would like to continue doing some things with you.”

Li Su understood that Su Yuan and Xiong Chunyang seemed to be planning something in the Western Desert.

Although Su Yuan and Xiong Chunyang belonged to the Sky Patrol Department and he himself couldn’t really join them,

just following Su Yuan to do some things wouldn’t be a problem.

If he left like this, he’d just live aimlessly in the Western Desert doing robberies, a future he could foresee.

But if he followed this man to work, it would be better than wandering alone.

Su Yuan asked, ”I indeed need some people now, have you made up your mind?”

Li Su’s eyes lit up, and he immediately affirmed: ”Of course, I’ve made up my mind!”

”Alright.” Su Yuan nodded, ”Ruan Ruan, give him the Abyss Demon Seed.”

”Well...” Upon hearing this, Li Su’s face froze.

Ruan Ruan chuckled and walked up in a few steps.

Su Yuan tapped the teacup lightly, saying slowly: ”I don’t trust others easily; if you want to back out now, it’s still time.”

Looking at Ruan Ruan in front of him, Li Su’s expression changed a few times, but he finally shook his head: ”I won’t leave!”

Li Su had been following Su Yuan these days and found that, no matter how Su Yuan treated outsiders, he was quite good to his own people.

Moreover, even Xiong Chunyang, such a crude and ferocious person, showed unabashed reverence for Su Yuan, indicating that this man is extraordinary even within the Sky Patrol Department!

Not leaving! It’s decided!

Su Yuan didn’t say much, lifted his teacup and signaled: ”Tea for wine.”

Ruan Ruan pressed her palms together, then separated them, a black light appeared and gradually condensed into an Abyss Demon Seed, which she slowly pressed towards Li Su’s slightly widened eyes.

”Pop!”

Li Su didn’t stop it, allowing the Abyss Demon Seed to go straight into his Star Sea from his chest.

”Phew...”

With the planting of the Abyss Demon Seed, it was a done deal; Li Su felt a sense of relief.

Seeing this, Su Yuan raised his teacup and signaled: ”With tea as wine.”

Xiong Chunyang picked up his teacup, patted Li Su on the shoulder, and grinned, ”Old Man Li, following him, you won’t regret it!”

”Yes, yes, thank you, Lord Su!”

Li Su quickly picked up his teacup and drank it all in one go.

Suddenly, the tea turned into a pure energy as it entered his mouth.

”Hmm? What’s this??”

Li Su looked at Su Yuan, who appeared calm, and his thoughts raced, but he didn’t act rashly. Instead, he let the pure energy flow through his body.

After all, the Abyss Demon Seed was already threatening enough; it shouldn’t have another layer of binding added to it.

Soon, the pure energy flowed into the Star Sea and enveloped the Abyss Demon Seed, eventually eradicating it...

Li Su was stunned for a moment, then realized that Su Yuan was just testing him a little, not actually trying to place the Abyss Demon Seed on him.

”Thank you, Lord Su!”

Li Su quickly bowed, feeling completely at ease while also feeling fortunate and delighted.

This means, Lord Su indeed has accepted me!

Su Yuan wants to establish his own power, gather the Sea Gang, and govern the Western Desert... It’s just the beginning, and indeed he needs some capable hands.

These hands, apart from needing strength or ability, also need a certain level of loyalty.

And preferably, they should not be from the Sky Patrol Department, like Xiong Chunyang.

Public and private matters should be distinguished.

Many masters in the Sky Patrol Department have their own organizations, industries, and sects.

Although the Sky Patrol Department doesn’t encourage it, it doesn’t prohibit the special envoys from expanding their influence.

As long as it doesn’t go against principles, as long as one remains loyal to the Great Flame.

Li Su is a Full Moon Master and is very familiar with the Western Desert, making him a rather suitable candidate.

However, Li Su himself was part of a bandit gang and had been forcibly driven by the control of the Abyss Demon Seed for a while. Whether he holds any resentment, Su Yuan is unsure, so he naturally needs to be tested a bit.

If he wants to leave, he can go.

If he’s sincere about staying, as the first person the ”Qingming” absorbs from outside, as long as he does his work well, Su Yuan won’t treat him unfairly.

Now, Li Su’s performance is actually satisfying to Su Yuan.

Mistrust is not to be used; trust is not to be doubted.

Su Yuan helped him up with one hand and said with a smile, ”Welcome to ’Qingming.’”

”Qingming?” Li Su was slightly taken aback.

Xiong Chunyang was also a bit confused but quickly realized something and said in shock, ”Boss, do you mean to do it yourself?”

”When mud can’t stick to the wall, it’s better to take over yourself.” Su Yuan looked out the window with a faint expression, ”In a few years, Qingming will be dominating the sky over the entire Western Desert.”

”Hiss...” Xiong Chunyang took a deep breath.

If it were another Early Sun Level... or even Chongyang Level Imperial Envoy, Xiong Chunyang wouldn’t believe they could achieve it.

But looking at the silver-haired, silver-eyed young man in front of him, Xiong Chunyang couldn’t muster any doubt?

Because this person is just too brilliant and has done too many things that ordinary people find impossible!

And someone as shrewd as Li Su also immediately realized the meaning of Su Yuan’s words.

Indeed, indeed!

Lord Su not only wants to do something in the Western Desert but wants to accomplish something grand!

Li Su was inexplicably excited, and his aging body couldn’t help but tremble slightly, suddenly regaining a long-lost feeling!

”It’s the feeling of ’youth and passion!’

While Xiong Chunyang was still a bit shocked, Li Su took several deep breaths and declared loudly, ”Although Li Su is old, with limited talent, he is willing to serve Lord Su!”

Xiong Chunyang also responded and quickly said, ”Su Imperial Envoy, can’t you take me, old Xiong, into this Qingming of yours?”

Su Yuan smiled and said, ”You and I are colleagues, so it’s naturally not appropriate to take you.”

”This, this...”

Xiong Chunyang was anxious, but he understood the reasoning, even considering resigning from the department.

But that’s easier said than done; resigning unbidden is not feasible... it’s a responsibility.

Su Yuan took out the alchemy box from earlier and handed it to Li Su, ”Li Su, go to the Storm Branch in the city and give this box of Detoxification Pills to the Storm Alliance.”

”Detoxification Pills?” Li Su’s expression changed slightly, suppressing the agitation in his heart, and he carefully picked up the alchemy box, ”Sir, may I look inside the pills?”

Su Yuan nodded, ”Of course.”

Li Su opened the alchemy box, and with a whiff of alchemical fragrance, five detoxification pills were neatly placed inside.

”Third-level Detoxification Pills, based on my experience, they all seem freshly concocted!” Li Su looked at Su Yuan in amazement, ”Did you... make these, sir?”

”Yes.”

”The lord is actually an Alchemy Master!”

Xiong Chunyang was also quite surprised and, seeing Li Su’s astonished expression, suddenly grinned, ”Not only an Alchemist, but Boss Su, he...”

”Enough.” Su Yuan smiled as he interrupted Xiong Chunyang, instructing Li Su, ”Hurry on now.”

”Yes!”

No more words were needed, as Li Su already understood Su Yuan’s intention, and left the inn, heading straight for the Storm Branch.

For a moment, only Su Yuan and Xiong Chunyang were left in the room.

”Well... Su Imperial Envoy, are you really not considering me?” Xiong Chunyang was somewhat reluctant.

Su Yuan shook his head, laughing, ”Let’s not mention this again.”
