554: Ye Que's plan! What the hell is the Black Devil?

Just as everyone was stunned,

a murderous and exceptionally chilling voice rang out from the courtyard entrance.

“Let her go! Otherwise, you will surely die!”

Ye Que, holding his now perfectly intact iron sword, walked step by step towards Su Shengyuan, his eyes glinting with ferocity.

At this moment, Ye Mengyou, whose mind had been a blank, also came to her senses, a blush appearing on her face.

The moment Su Shengyuan embraced her, she actually felt a sense of belonging!

“Is this what falling in love feels like?”

“Bah, bah, bah, how is that possible? How could I, your aunt, fall in love at first sight with a man?”

Ye Mengyou dispelled this embarrassing thought from her mind.

Then, she looked at Ye Que and said, “Grandson, don’t be rude.”

However, Ye Que completely ignored Ye Mengyou’s words and walked directly in front of Su Shengyuan.

His eyes flickered with killing intent, and his aura gradually became fierce.

“Whichever hand touched my little aunt, I’ll chop off that hand. Don’t force me to do it myself.”

His voice was like ice, making people involuntarily shiver all over.

Su Shengyuan, however, paid him no mind, merely looking at Ye Que quietly.

Ye Que’s words also caused Chen Shushu, Lei Hu, and Hundred Li Chengfeng to frown, a flicker of displeasure in their eyes.

If it weren't for Ye Mengyou, they would have probably already taught Ye Que a lesson.

Of course, whether they could win was another matter.

Ye Mengyou’s face turned cold. She pulled Su Shengyuan behind her and angrily shouted at Ye Que, “Scram! If you dare to be so presumptuous here again, do you believe I won’t tell your father?”

Ye Que frowned!

However, with Ye Mengyou present, he couldn’t do anything.

Then he said coldly, “If you touch my aunt again, I’ll kill you.”

With that!

Ye Que walked out.

As he was about to exit the doorway, Ye Que stopped, not turning back, and said, “Aunt, I am no longer the old Ye Que. From now on, I will protect you!”

“Today, Ye Que officially returns to the team!”

The clear, cold voice resonated, and Ye Que disappeared from the doorway.

It was supposed to be a touching scene.

Ye Que, who had been foolish since childhood, had now regained his sanity.

It was something everyone should be happy about.

But his immediate targeting of Su Shengyuan upon entering the door, however, aroused everyone’s disgust.

“Hmm? Ye Que has regained his sanity?”

Only then did they notice the difference in Ye Que.

Ye Mengyou turned to Su Shengyuan and said apologetically, “I apologize to you on behalf of Ye Que. He’s a very good child, and I don’t know why he’s like this today. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Su Shengyuan’s lips curved slightly upwards. Then he extended his arms again and hugged Ye Mengyou.

“No need for apologies. A hug is fine, isn’t it?”

Meanwhile, Ye Que, who was secretly peeking from the doorway, saw this scene, and his killing intent was on the verge of uncontrollably erupting.

His five fingers, gripping the iron sword, clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white.

“Su Shengyuan, you dare to touch my woman? You will surely die! Kill, kill, kill!”

However, Ye Que knew that with Ye Mengyou present, he couldn’t kill Su Shengyuan, so he left with monstrous killing intent.

Inside the courtyard, Ye Mengyou, her face flushed, pushed Su Shengyuan away.

When Lei Hu and the others saw Ye Mengyou blush, they immediately started to jeer.

“Wow, Captain is blushing! A rare sight in a hundred years, haha!”

“…”

Although men and women should not touch each other, Su Shengyuan was handsome!

Ye Mengyou didn’t get angry either.

Instead, she enjoyed joking around with her teammates like this.

Moreover, everyone was from the Jianghu, naturally uninhibited. What’s wrong with a hug? It’s not like they stripped naked and got into bed.

And Fu Ling was also unexpectedly chosen by Ye Mengyou to stay here.

Of course, Ye Mengyou didn’t let Fu Ling stay here because of Su Shengyuan, but because Fu Ling’s talent was indeed very good, even comparable to Lei Hu and Chen Shushu.

After settling Su Shengyuan and Fu Ling,

Ye Mengyou went to handle the formalities for the two of them.

When recruiting people into a team, the captain has full authority, but after recruitment, the information must be filed.

Just then!

As Su Shengyuan and Fu Ling were chatting in the courtyard,

with a bang!

The courtyard gate was shattered by a tremendous force.

As wood splinters flew everywhere, a man resembling an iron tower walked in from outside.

Compared to him, Lei Hu was like an adult next to a child.

“I heard you’ve recruited two new people? Let Master Jin take a look?”

As Jin Shenggui’s words fell, he saw Su Shengyuan and Fu Ling.

However, his gaze was fixed intently on Fu Ling.

“Heh heh, it’s just as he said, she’s a beauty.”

Lei Hu, who was lifting a stone block on the training ground, frowned upon seeing Jin Shenggui.

“You old bastard, are you looking for trouble? You’re dead! How dare you destroy our courtyard gate? When the Captain returns, she won’t…”

“Quiet!”

Before Lei Hu could finish his sentence,

Jin Shenggui took a step, instantly appearing in front of Lei Hu. He extended his right hand and slapped Lei Hu to the ground.

After that, Jin Shenggui walked towards Su Shengyuan and Fu Ling.

“Kid, I hope you pretend nothing happened next, otherwise, you’ll learn how to write the word ‘death’…”

Before Jin Shenggui could finish his sentence,

Su Shengyuan slowly rose and walked towards him.

“Quiet!”

Slap!

In the Void Realm, a palm print descended.

A red five-finger mark immediately appeared on Jin Shenggui’s face.

Hearing the commotion, Chen Shushu and Hundred Li Chengfeng also ran over from the backyard.

They happened to witness this scene!

Both of them were stunned!

Jin Shenggui was a tyrant here, and they didn’t expect Su Shengyuan, a newborn calf, to be unafraid of the tiger, daring to hit Jin Shenggui.

However, recalling that Su Shengyuan didn’t know who Jin Shenggui was, they immediately walked over.

“Jin Shenggui, how dare you act wildly here?”

Facing Jin Shenggui, their voices clearly lacked confidence.

Su Shengyuan shook his head upon seeing this and asked indifferently, “Can this person be killed?”

“Ah?”

Chen Shushu and Hundred Li Chengfeng were immediately stunned.

Su Shengyuan seemed to have gotten the answer he wanted.

He took a step and landed in front of Jin Shenggui.

At this moment, Jin Shenggui also reacted from his daze.

Feeling the stinging pain on his face, Jin Shenggui’s eyeballs were filled with bloodshot veins, and even the veins on his forehead bulged.

“You dare to hit me? Do you know who I am…”

Boom!

As Su Shengyuan raised his hand, the Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation instantly materialized in the sky.

Fierce Sword Qi covered down, enveloping Jin Shenggui.

“Annihilate!”

Chi chi chi…

In an instant, Jin Shenggui’s body shattered into countless pieces.

Su Shengyuan waved his hand, the Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation dissipated, and he casually sat back down beside Fu Ling, continuing their chat as if nothing had happened.

Chen Shushu, Hundred Li Chengfeng, and Lei Hu stared blankly at the pile of minced meat, their eyes filled with various expressions.

Dazed, confused, shocked…

Who would have thought that the captain of the Eighth Courtyard would die just like that!

And be killed so easily!

Only now did they realize what kind of Soul was hidden beneath Su Shengyuan’s seemingly harmless exterior!

At this moment!

Ye Mengyou, who had finished processing the documents for Su Shengyuan and Fu Ling, returned.

Looking at the pile of minced meat on the ground, she asked curiously, “Are we having stewed meat tonight?”

Lei Hu and the other two immediately came back to their senses when they heard Ye Mengyou’s voice.

Chen Shushu said with a trembling voice, “Boss You, we’re in trouble. Do you know who this pile of minced meat is? It’s that old bastard Jin Shenggui. He was just ‘poof, poof’ by Su Shengyuan, and then he turned into a pile of minced meat.”

Although the scene was too bloody,

Chen Shushu’s description, coupled with his expression, made it somewhat comical.

Ye Mengyou waved her hand and said indifferently, “Oh, it’s that old bastard, then he can just… What? It’s Jin Shenggui?”

Only at this moment did Ye Mengyou finally react.

She immediately looked at Su Shengyuan!

Her eyes were filled with shock.

Just then, Su Shengyuan also looked at Ye Mengyou and asked, “I only acted with the consent of Chen Shushu and Hundred Li Chengfeng.”

“I asked them, ‘Can this person be killed?’ They said… Ah!”

Chen Shushu and Hundred Li Chengfeng, upon hearing this, immediately fell backward stiffly.

Brother, our ‘ah’ was ‘yes’? Not ‘no’!

Ye Mengyou was also speechless.

However, this matter was somewhat troublesome, and if you say it wasn’t troublesome… it was still somewhat troublesome.

After all, Jin Shenggui had someone behind him!

“Don’t go out for now, close the door…”

She glanced at the door, which had already turned into wood splinters.

Ye Mengyou was even more speechless.

“Don’t go out these two days. I’ll go work something out.”

With that, Ye Mengyou hurried out again.

Su Shengyuan looked at Lei Hu and the other two and asked, “Does this Jin Shenggui have someone behind him?”

The three of them nodded in unison.

“His third uncle is the Deputy Hall Master of Hundred Refinements Hall.”

Su Shengyuan nodded upon hearing this, not taking it to heart.

He merely glanced vaguely at the doorway.

Not long after Ye Que left, Jin Shenggui came knocking.

Su Shengyuan wasn’t foolish!

He naturally knew that Jin Shenggui was being used as a pawn by Ye Que.

If one wants to be a pawn, one must be prepared to be broken.

Therefore, Su Shengyuan did not hesitate to kill him.

As for the person behind Jin Shenggui, Su Shengyuan believed Ye Mengyou could handle it.

It was just a Deputy Hall Master, not the Hall Master.

Hunter God Pavilion, in the Nine Provinces, has nine Pavilion Masters, who report to the Dao Court’s Grand Pavilion Master.

And below these Provincial Pavilion Masters are the Left and Right Envoys!

Below the Left and Right Envoys are the Hall Masters!

Each Hall is responsible for governing the various teams of Hunter God Pavilion!

And each team is controlled by a Captain!

A mere Deputy Hall Master held no interest for Su Shengyuan.

Three days passed like this!

Ye Que did not come to trouble Su Shengyuan again.

And Ye Mengyou had also been gone for three full days.

In the morning!

Su Shengyuan and the others gathered around, eating the breakfast prepared by the chef, Fu Ling.

Hundred Li Chengfeng was still devouring his food, unable to stop eating because it was so delicious.

The courtyard gate had been reinstalled!

This time, it was directly replaced with a very sturdy stone gate.

Just then, the stone gate was pushed open.

Ye Mengyou walked in, squeezed into the group’s seats, sat next to Su Shengyuan, and without ceremony, directly snatched the half-bowl of porridge from Su Shengyuan’s hand and gulped it down.

“Huh? Who cooked this porridge? It’s so delicious? Is there any more? Another bowl.”

Fu Ling immediately got up dutifully to serve Ye Mengyou more porridge.

It wasn’t Ye Mengyou’s fault for not knowing who cooked the porridge.

After all, since Fu Ling came here, she hadn’t eaten in this courtyard.

It wasn’t that she was busy, but that Su Shengyuan killing Jin Shenggui was quite a big deal.

She had been running around for three days, and only then did she settle the matter.

“The matter is settled. These three days have exhausted me, your aunt.”

Ye Mengyou didn’t blame Su Shengyuan.

And in her heart, she even highly approved of him.

She liked people who were decisive in killing.

Su Shengyuan suited her taste very well!

“Tired? Do you want me to give you a massage?”

Su Shengyuan got up, walked behind Ye Mengyou, placed his hands on her shoulders, and gently massaged them.

The soft pressure was just right!

Ye Mengyou immediately let out a comfortable ‘Ah…!’

Lei Hu and the other two looked at each other, then lowered their heads and silently ate the porridge in their bowls.

However, their eyes were full of amusement.

While enjoying Su Shengyuan’s gentle touch, Ye Mengyou said, “Although this matter has been resolved, the higher-ups have also assigned us a rather difficult mission to complete.”

“Do you know about that Black Demon? Our mission is to place the Black Demon’s head on the Hundred Refinements Hall’s table.”

Upon hearing this mission,

Lei Hu and the other two almost spat out their plain porridge.

Chen Shushu said with a mournful face, “Isn’t this clearly sending us to our deaths? With our strength, how can we possibly kill the Black Demon!”

“What is a Black Demon?”

Su Shengyuan asked.
