190: All fishing!
In Tianhe City, within an abandoned village.
Purple Silkworm Woman had arrived early.
She was waiting for Senior.
Suddenly, she sensed something and immediately looked up.
Su Yu, clad in scarlet battle armor, was approaching.
Behind him, another person followed.
That was Du Qing, a powerful individual from the Unicorn race.
As they drew closer, she could feel the terrifying aura emanating from Du Qing.
"Above War God!"
Purple Silkworm Woman's eyes narrowed.
Senior was indeed Senior; he already had someone following him!!!
Purple Silkworm Woman suddenly felt a pang of disappointment.
Clearly, I was the first to show goodwill to Senior.
Clearly, I was the first to want to follow Senior.
Yet, someone beat me to it!
It felt a bit unfair!
But there was nothing she could do.
"I am currently only a War Emperor; if I want to follow Senior, I'm afraid I'm not yet qualified!!!"
Purple Silkworm Woman comforted herself, "It seems I must raise my strength to War God, otherwise, Senior might not think highly of me!"
Su Yu approached, looked at Purple Silkworm Woman, and said proudly, "I have arrived. Speak."
Having once been Half-Step Forbidden, he had the right to be arrogant.
Although, this was Su Yu acting.
But in front of Purple Silkworm Woman, he had to act, and he had to do it convincingly.
Within his Inner World, the "Zhuang" Divine Rune vibrated, and vaguely, a mysterious power seemed to work on Su Yu's body, making his act very, very convincing.
"Purple Silkworm Woman greets Senior!"
Purple Silkworm Woman composed herself and quickly said, "That Masked Man from the Night Watcher spoke with me and told me some things."
Su Yu said nothing, but waited patiently.
"First, he might have spoken too much, as he subconsciously mentioned his surname was Liu!"
"Among the high-ranking Night Watchers in East District One, there is indeed the Liu Clan, and Liu Tao is a War God among them. That person is very likely Liu Tao's Divine Inscription Avatar."
Purple Silkworm Woman looked at Su Yu, puffed out her proud chest, and her eyes showed anticipation.
"Very good. What else?" Su Yu glanced indifferently.
Surname Liu?
Perhaps!
But it's not necessarily true. I, Su Yu, am still a Senior expert right now!
In your eyes, I am still a Half-Step Forbidden, preparing to stir up trouble with you all!
However, who among you would have thought that I am actually a Night Watcher, and even the Minister of the Tianhe Branch!
Therefore, Su Yu didn't believe it at all.
These were all old fellows who had lived for countless years; how could they truly speak too much?
If they spoke too much, it meant either they were brainless or they were scheming.
But to have lived so long, to say they were brainless would be truly unbelievable.
So, the only answer was that they were scheming.
Perhaps the Masked Man, being in a high position, knew that someone was investigating and wanted to use this opportunity to divert everyone's attention to the Liu Clan.
If his plan succeeded, then the Liu Clan would become the scapegoat.
Of course, the Liu Clan themselves might not be innocent; they could very likely be bad people too.
"Second, that Night Watcher said that the Tianhe Department has his people, and once war breaks out, his people will dig for treasure maps in Tianhe City," Purple Silkworm Woman said.
"Oh? There's such a good thing?"
Su Yu said this verbally, but in his heart, he was already cursing.
This was truly trying to stir up trouble!
Upon returning, he would immediately conduct a thorough investigation, making sure to root out everyone involved.
"Third, that Night Watcher also revealed that for now, they shouldn't attack Su Yu, but wait two more days."
"Someone from East Fifth District is on their way; they also want to deal with Su Yu!"
"At that time, with strength in numbers, even if Su Yu has some abilities, he will definitely die this time!"
Purple Silkworm Woman continued.
"East Fifth District?"
Su Yu's heart jolted.
The high-ranking Night Watchers from East Fifth District, they want to kill me!
Through official channels, they found they couldn't do anything to me, so they're actually going to team up with cults?
How are these Night Watchers!
These are cults!
Damn it!
Cults have actually infiltrated the Night Watcher high ranks?
Su Yu was enraged.
But on the surface, Su Yu smiled and said, "People coming from East Fifth District is not unexpected."
"I heard that Su Yu killed several Night Watchers in East Fifth District. The people coming from there are very likely the local Night Watchers!"
"They want to kill Su Yu for revenge!"
"Senior is wise!" Purple Silkworm Woman quickly spoke, not stinting on her praise.
"Anything else?" Su Yu asked again.
"There's also a fourth point: that Night Watcher frankly admitted that once they engage, his side can hold back an Above War God existence!"
Hearing this, Su Yu's expression slightly changed.
The Masked Man, he can even hold back an Above War God existence?
Whether it's the Zhou Family or the Liu Clan, they only have War God powerhouses. Where did he get this ability?
Su Yu's eyes narrowed, and he thought of the Lüqiu Clan at that time.
They had hidden their true strength.
What they displayed was for outsiders to see; in reality, they all had trump cards.
These ancient humans or ancient great sects that had been unearthed, they all had their own foundations; how could they easily reveal their true strength to others?
"I'm still too young!" Su Yu sighed inwardly, secretly thinking, "Even a young Junior like me can think of keeping some trump cards; how could these old immortals not?"
"Even the Purple Silkworm Woman in front of me, having lived until now, probably has some trump cards!"
Thinking this, Su Yu smiled and said, "Purple Silkworm Woman, you've done very well!"
"I really want to reward you with something, but I'm truly too poor right now!"
"What are you saying, Senior?" Purple Silkworm Woman quickly said, "Even if I didn't tell you these messages, Senior would know them sooner or later."
"That won't do! When I do things, I'm never stingy with rewards!" Su Yu thought for a moment and said, "I can see that you revere me greatly!"
"After this matter is over, if you can become a War God, you can join my disciples!"
"Coincidentally, my maidservant passed away long ago. How about you join my disciples and be my maidservant?"
"As for your Divine Silkworm Gate, I've never even heard of it; you might as well leave it!"
"Follow me, and in the future, you'll live a life of luxury. What could you possibly lack?"
Purple Silkworm Woman was excited upon hearing this, but she quickly suppressed it and quickly said, "Senior is joking. Junior is a member of the Divine Silkworm Gate; how could I easily leave my sect?"
Leaving would be tantamount to betrayal, and her reputation would be very bad.
Moreover, if she truly betrayed, would Senior dare to accept her?
If she could betray her sect today, she could betray Senior tomorrow.
No matter who it was, no one would want such a person.
Even if they did accept her, they would be wary, and even at critical moments, they would choose to sacrifice her.
In short, such people rarely come to a good end!
"No matter, I was just mentioning it to you." Su Yu didn't bother to say more, smiling as he said, "If you have any news, remember to contact me again!"
With that, Su Yu turned and left.
Du Qing followed behind him, like a servant.
This scene, falling into Purple Silkworm Woman's eyes, made her believe even more that Senior was indeed a Half-Step Forbidden in the past.
Otherwise, how could this scene be explained?
Soon.
Su Yu returned to the Department.
The Six-Eared Macaque was lying on the bed in his form, staring blankly.
Upon seeing Su Yu return, the Six-Eared Macaque transformed back into the appearance of the Great Sage.
"When you weren't here, someone came outside to eavesdrop, but they left very quickly!"
"There are bad people in your Night Watcher Department."
The Six-Eared Macaque said indifferently, and his figure disappeared.
Su Yu shook his head.
In this world, how could there be no bad people?
It was impossible.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated.
Su Yu took out his phone and saw the pushed news.
"At Night Watch Headquarters, a War God powerhouse personally escorted an Immortal Herb to Tianhe City, and was ambushed by seven unknown War Gods along the way."
"Currently, among the seven attacking War Gods, three are dead and four are injured!"
After seeing the news, Su Yu couldn't help but grimace.
For an Immortal Herb, was it really necessary?
Were they trying to steal the Immortal Herb, or were they trying to prevent the Immortal Herb from saving him?
Su Yu frowned in thought.
He couldn't figure it out.
Immortal Herb was very valuable; to say that someone wanted to steal it actually made sense.
Suddenly, Su Yu's heart stirred. The Headquarters arranging someone to escort the Immortal Herb could have been done secretly.
Why was it done so conspicuously, making everyone aware?
Su Yu's eyes narrowed, and he thought of a possibility.
The Headquarters was also fishing.
"There wouldn't be no Immortal Herb at all, would there?" Su Yu couldn't help but think, "This time I'm fishing, but now, it seems the Headquarters is using me as bait!!!"
Su Yu's expression became very unpleasant.
Who among normal people would be willing to be bait?
Could someone who was bait be normal?
Su Yu cursed under his breath and continued to look at the next piece of news.
"A Night Watcher in the Demon City brought out an Immortal Herb from the unearthed world. Currently, arrangements have been made to escort the Immortal Herb to Tianhe City!"
"This..." Su Yu sneered, unable to help but curse, "It's bad enough that the Headquarters is using me as bait, but the Demon City is also using me as bait!"
Su Yu continued to read the news.
"The Minister of the Wuyang City Night Watcher Department stated that Su Yu, the Minister of the Tianhe Department, is the hope of humanity and cannot be allowed to die. For the hope of humanity, Wuyang City has already arranged for two War Gods to personally escort the Immortal Herb, guaranteeing its delivery to Su Yu!"
"The Dapeng City Night Watcher dug three thousand treasure maps consecutively and finally unearthed an Immortal Herb. Currently, arrangements have been made to escort the Immortal Herb to Tianhe City!"
...
Su Yu read through each news article, his heart shaken, and then he started cursing.
One or two was fine!
But in the end, they all came out fishing!
I, Su Yu, a dignified Night Watcher, the Minister of the Tianhe Department, you're all using me as bait?
This time, I'm the one fishing, okay?
I want to slaughter all sides!
I want to prove my Dao through killing!
Su Yu's face was grim, and he threw his phone away!
"Minister!"
Suddenly, a Night Watcher came from outside.
"Come in!"
Su Yu lay on the bed, his aura quickly becoming weak, and his expression also became very haggard.
"Minister, a young lady has come outside and says she wants to see you," a Night Watcher walked in and said.
"the one who came last time?" Su Yu thought of Xiao Ru.
"No. This young lady is much prettier than the last one. She says her surname is Chen, and she heard the Minister was injured, so she brought two boxes of milk to see the Minister!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yu's eyes showed contemplation.
Surname Chen?
Which young lady I know has the surname Chen?
