Chapter 77: Returns

As they spoke, the sky began to brighten.

After two bitter and bloody fights, the long evening had finally passed.

Upon seeing the white sky, Baron said, “Okay, since the matter is already resolved, we should return.”

Baron and the others were not from Northface City. Su Chen had only recruited them temporarily. Now that the mission was over, they would return to their own places of living, so they all said their goodbyes to Su Chen.

As he watched everyone leave, Su Chen thought for a minute, then suddenly said, “Can I borrow Night Demon for a moment to help me do something?””

“What else do you want?” Night Demon asked.

“This morning, my Second Uncle will be sending someone to buy medicine. I want you to help me……”

Night Demon laughed when she heard this. “You want the Origin Energy Medicine? Why make things so complicated, I’ll just seize it for you.”

“No, I just want you to help me switch out the two medicines.”

Night Demon’s eyes lit up. “You brat, you’re quite interesting. In this case, won’t the Black Anesthesia be given to his son to drink instead?”

“That’s right. But perhaps it would be better to leave behind a letter, informing him that this is a new style of medicine and requires a few days to activate. This will achieve the greatest result,” Su Chen laughed.

Everyone instantly understood and began to darkly laugh together.

Night Demon said, “You really are quite bad. No problem, I’ll take care of it.”

“I also would like you to help me delay the person responsible for delivering the goods. Try to make it so that he only returns to Northface City by tomorrow noon……” Su Chen painstakingly listed out another pile of requests.

“These won’t be too difficult, just a little annoying to do. Hey, today is already the second day.”

“I’ll pay an employment fee, twenty times the reference value.”

Night Demon smiled wide. “That’s more like it.”

To the side, Baron also nodded, saying, “It seems like a good show is about to occur in the Su Clan.”

Su Chen replied, “Baron must find our clan’s internal conflicts quite silly.”

Baron, however, replied sincerely, “Internal conflicts are always present and are quite normal. How could I find them silly? Su Chen, I think highly of you. Even though you are blind, your heart is bright, and there are many people who are unable to compare with you. I will be waiting to hear about the conclusion of your battle with your Second Uncle. I trust that it will be entertaining.”

“Thank you, Baron.” He turned his head around and said to Night Demon, “Then let’s go together. I’ll describe Zhang Song’s appearance to you as we go.”

“You’re not going back to Northface City?” Night Demon asked.

“I’ll follow you first to the Flying Immortal Palace. I’m still a little uneasy about successfully taking care of this matter.”

Night Demon rolled her eyes at him, as if she was unhappy that he didn’t trust her. However, in the end she still agreed.

Once everyone had gone their own ways, only Night Demon, Su Chen and Iron Cliff walked towards the Flying Immortal Palace.

As they walked, Su Chen asked Night Demon, “That’s right, I noticed that during your operation everyone else used codenames, not their real names, but Baron seemed to use his real name. Why was this? Could it be that he wasn’t worried about revealing his true identity?”

Night Demon said, “That is because strictly speaking Baron does not actually belong to the organization. His relationship with the organization has always been that of a business relationship, and his understanding of the organization is also limited. However, this doesn’t prevent him from taking care of business for the organization.”

“So that’s the case. Then the others are also the same?”

“What? You want to discover all of the organization’s secrets?” Night Demon watched him, slanting her eyes.

Having interacted so many times, in addition to fighting together last night, Night Demon and Su Chen’s relationship had become more familiar as well. When they talked, they were also much more at ease.

Su Chen replied, “If it’s inconvenient then whatever, I was just curious. In addition, I don’t have much interest in knowing the organization’s secrets. I just want to understand the people around me; for example, Aaron was always picking fights with me, and I wanted to know what kind of person he was. Oh, that’s right, Li’s illusion techniques appear extremely powerful. I wonder what else he can do. I just entered the Qi Drawing Realm, which is the perfect time to choose a future path. I wonder if I can end up as an illusion master like him……”

Su Chen’s face revealed a longing expression

“So that’s the reason for your curiousity.” Night Demon tilted her head and thought for a moment before replying, “If this is all you want to know,, there’s no reason why I can’t tell you. Aaron cultivates the Negation Blade, which is an extremely difficult Origin Skill to learn but it possesses extreme strength as well. However, he experienced a setback in the past when cultivating resulting in his heart being damaged, making him extremely irascible. Thus, he appears to be easily angered, but he isn’t intentionally targeting you. Copper Deer is an expert in controlling vegetation……”

They talked as they walked.

They talked the entire trip. Once they arrived inside the city, Su Chen said, “I’ll leave the matter of Zhang Song with you. In any case, I’m blind and I can’t see, so I won’t be much help if I stay here. I’ll be taking my leave now.”

“Hm? Didn’t you want to make sure that I took care of the matter before leaving?” Night Demon said with surprise.

However, Su Chen had already taken Iron Cliff and left.

Night Demon was puzzled. “That’s really strange. Because he was worried about the outcome, he followed me all the way here from the Shadow Mountain. Now that I am about to begin, he says that he wouldn’t be of any help and leaves. Isn’t that quite unnecessary? Why make so much trouble yourself, just return to Northface city directly,” she mumbled to herself as she saw Su Chen disappear amongst the crowd of people.

Suddenly, a thought surfaced in her heart: ‘Could this brat be interested in me, and purposefully found an excuse to come with me?’
