My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

The higher you stand, the more people will dislike you and want to get rid of you; that's inevitable.

Those powers are not given to you for no reason; you have to give something in return for them.

Upon hearing this, Su Chengying looked at Qi Yu with a complicated expression.

He knew Qi Yu was a lazy bum, but he never expected him to be this lazy.

He's not even interested in the position of head coach anymore!

Is there anything in the world that can arouse his interest?

"Who do you want to give the position of head coach to?" Su Chengying asked.

Qi Yu's eyes narrowed down to a suitable candidate, and he smiled, "Uncle-Master Sun Guyuan!"

Sun Guyuan was also a disciple of the former leader, and was the leader's junior brother. His seniority and status were second only to the leader.

No one should object to him becoming the head of the church!

Su Chengying didn't know what to say. Qi Yu was serious; he was really thinking about stepping down.

Qi Yu was the most talented person he had ever met, and also the most lazy person he had ever met, without exception!

However, it was precisely because of this laid-back personality that he was able to gain the approval of his senior brother, who then announced that he would pass the position of leader to Qi Yu.

"A qualified coach is one who doesn't aspire to be a coach!"

These words were spoken to him and the current head coach by his teacher, the former head coach.

Later, some things happened, and he was forced to go to the south by the previous emperor of the Dayun Dynasty. In the end, the position of leader fell to his senior brother.

The things my senior brother did in the early stages of his tenure were similar to what Qi Yu is thinking now.

He also wanted to relinquish the leadership, so he would write to Su Chengying every few days, asking Su Chengying to return and succeed him as leader.

Su Chengying ignored him until he married Xu Shuqin and became the leader of the Blood God Sect, at which point he broke off all contact with the sect leader.

The more Qi Yu resists becoming the head coach, the more the head coach will try to make him the head coach. The head coach will likely do something to achieve this.

Su Chengying's gaze toward Qi Yu turned mocking.

Poor child!

However, this junior brother Sun Guyuan doesn't seem to be someone to be trifled with either!

Nearly forty years have passed, and they still haven't found out who Sun Guyuan really is.

Sun Guyuan's claimed identity was false. Although he said he came from overseas, he and the leader mobilized their forces to send people to another continent overseas, but they found no clues about Sun Guyuan.

Sun Guyuan's appearance was too mysterious, and the tokens and letters he carried were undoubtedly those of the former leader.

Forty years have passed, and Sun Guyuan has remained very ordinary. He has not acted arrogantly or bullied men and women just because he is the junior brother of the sect leader.

He was just like an ordinary Taoist disciple, traveling across the continent to heal the sick and save lives.

His only outstanding skill was playing chess exceptionally well, earning him the nickname "chess prodigy."

It looks ordinary, but that very ordinariness is the most unusual thing!

Because it was too deliberate!

However, Sun Guyuan remained calm, and they had no evidence to prove their suspicions, so they could only be a little cautious.

……

It's Chinese New Year, and many people are going home to celebrate with their families.

Meanwhile, in the capital city, at the Lin residence, Lin Ruohai and his wife were serving tea to an old Taoist priest.

Qi Yu also recognized this old Taoist priest; he was Sun Guyuan.

"Father-in-law, please have some tea!" Madam Lin offered a cup of hot tea with both hands.

Sun Guyuan nodded, took the hot tea, took a sip, and then looked at Lin Ruohai.

"How are the preparations going?"

Lin Ruohai lowered his head and said, "Reporting to Father, everything is ready. The Crown Prince will clear the way for us."

Sun Guyuan nodded and said seriously, "This will be a crucial move that will determine the outcome of the battle. We cannot afford to make the slightest mistake, otherwise our clan's century-long plan will be in vain."

Mr. and Mrs. Lin Ruohai both lowered their heads and remained silent.

Sun Guyuan took a sip of tea and asked, "How is Ruoxi doing?"

Lin Ruohai said, "The leader has already visited Qi Yu, and Qi Yu's fire poison has been cured. He is only one step away from becoming a grandmaster."

Sun Guyuan's eyes were somewhat unfocused as he murmured, "Grandmaster! I should have been able to reach that level too!"

Lin Ruohai remained silent, but his mind was filled with complex thoughts.

In order to lower the leader's guard, Sun Gu Yuan abandoned his dantian and became no different from an ordinary person.

So he is now really an ordinary person, not a martial artist.

Back then, his father's name was known throughout the entire Endless Sea.

If he hadn't destroyed his dantian, he would have already become a grandmaster, or even possibly reached the Dao Integration stage. He would certainly not be inferior to the sect leader.

Sun Guyuan came to his senses and said, "Li Ming has already vaguely guessed our origins, but it doesn't matter. He is a smart man and knows how to make a choice."

"His ascension to the throne and his conquest of fifteen kingdoms is advantageous to us; in fact, we can even lend him a hand if necessary!"

Lin Ruohai nodded respectfully and said, "I understand, Father, but what about His Majesty..."

When Li Muchen was mentioned, Sun Guyuan's eyes became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "This Li Muchen is an old fox, as cunning as Su Chengying. When you are by his side, try to talk less and do more."

"Just do your best to complete whatever he asks you to do!"

After finishing his tea, Sun Guyuan stood up and said, "Go prepare dinner! Consider it an early reunion dinner with you all!"

Madam Lin nodded and hurriedly went out to prepare dinner.

Sun Guyuan walked to the window, looked west, and said, "To be honest, I quite like Qi Yu, but it's a pity! He's Su Chengying's son-in-law and also the sect leader's disciple, so there's nothing I can do about it!"

Lin Ruohai stood behind him, not daring to utter any words that might disturb his father's reflections.

"Ruohai, tell Ruoxi that if necessary, she should kill Su Yue!"

Lin Ruohai nodded, his expression unchanged.

He knew Su Yue's identity and strength, but when Sun Guyuan told Lin Ruoxi to kill Su Yue, he thought it was simple and normal.

There's only one explanation for his expression: Lin Ruoxi is stronger than Su Yue, at least capable of killing Su Yue!

The Su family is pretending, but isn't the Lin family doing the same?

They are even more deeply hidden.

Chapter 159 Xuanmen

The arrival of my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law made the courtyard lively. The day after tomorrow is the New Year, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

Qi Yu bought a lot of fruits and meats and cooked a sumptuous meal.

Xu Shuqin watched from the side and then assisted Qi Yu.

She knew Qi Yu was a good cook, but she never imagined he could cook so skillfully.

As she watched, Xu Shuqin glanced at Su Yue beside her, somewhat speechless.

When she was little, I was so focused on teaching her martial arts that I didn't properly teach her needlework and cooking.

As a result, his daughter is now completely bewildered.

In other words, Qi Yu doesn't care anymore!

Poor Qi Yu!

Su Yue felt her mother's gaze and dared not meet it, so she could only pretend not to see it.

She may not know how, but she's already trying her best to learn!

After finishing their meal, Su Yue and Xu Shuqin went to clear the dishes, while Qi Yu and his son Su Chengying went to the courtyard and sat on the cold stone bench for some post-meal entertainment.

Let's play chess!

Moreover, the chessboard they were playing was a rare and exquisite one, which Su Chengying brought along as well.

With each move, the phantom of a mythical beast appears on the chessboard, which is quite interesting to watch.

We played the game for a while, and then chatted from time to time.

"Yu'er, do you know that there is another continent overseas?" Su Chengying suddenly changed the subject and asked.

Qi Yu nodded and said, "I've read some books that say there's a continent 20,000 miles to the south. But calling it a continent is more like calling it an archipelago of countless islands, isn't it?"

Su Chengying nodded and said, "That continent is called the Endless Sea. Not all the people living on the continent are humans; there are also many sea creatures and monsters that have crossed the ocean from the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

"Across the sea, the two continents have occasional interactions, but these are not deep. Moreover, the people on the other side have a deep desire to conquer our continent."

Qi Yu knew this because, from a topographical perspective, that continent was actually located on an earthquake zone where continental plates met, and there were many volcanoes there, all of which were active.

Earthquakes happen there every day, and tsunamis are commonplace.

The endless sea is a place rife with disasters.

The people living there naturally yearn for the more stable and peaceful mainland.

However, the world's maritime industry was not developed, and the cost of crossing oceans was very high.

Even so, people from another continent still have their eyes on this side.

Su Chengying placed a chess piece down, then picked up a white piece that had been captured, and continued, "The people over there are very dangerous. If you really become the leader, you will be their primary target."

Qi Yu looked up, staring at Su Chengying in astonishment. "Really? Is it that serious?"

"There are also many spies from the Endless Sea on this land. You might even be right next to one of them."

"I'm telling you this so you can be more careful and not get scammed. At the same time, I'm also telling you not to let the leaves in front of you block your eyes from seeing the real future!"

Su Chengying placed another piece, completing the game perfectly.
