The mastermind behind the scenes starting with the calamity of all races

"You're being too polite. We at Da Xuan are never stingy when it comes to talent. And we're not just giving special treatment to you, Su Yu. We value any exceptional talent the most."

Su Yu nodded. He knew that Zhang Jing's words were meant to tell him that he didn't need to feel guilty and could just focus on his cultivation and research.

After a while, the three arrived in front of a building. Zhang Jing said to Su Yu, "This is the research institute built for you. Some commonly used research equipment, materials and special research rooms are already prepared. If there is anything else missing, just submit a document and I will arrange for someone to take care of it for you as soon as possible."

"Oh, by the way, this research institute doesn't have a name yet. Why don't you come up with one?"

Looking at the research institute that stood thirty meters tall and covered several thousand square meters, Su Yu slowly said, "Let's call it the Primordial Spirit Research Institute."

This is also to commemorate the first research institute he established, and to continue to achieve his goals.

“Okay,” Zhang Jing nodded. As the owner of the research institute, it was Su Yu’s business how to name it. Whether it was called the Primordial Spirit Research Institute or the Su Yu Research Institute, it didn’t matter.

"What do you plan to do with your men?"

Su Yu was taken aback. He had almost forgotten that he still had several demonic beasts with Yun Chen. He thought for a moment, looked at Zhang Jing, and asked, "Can I bring them into the academy?"

Zhang Jing thought for a moment and said, "That's possible, but they must stay obediently near your research institute. If they wander off, I can't guarantee their safety."

Su Yu nodded quickly, "No problem, I will definitely keep them in check. If they don't listen, I won't blame the Prefect if they die."

“Okay, I’ll have someone bring them over in a bit,” Zhang Jing thought for a moment, then asked, “Is there anything else you’d like to know?”

Su Yu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. I'll figure out the rest on my own. The Prefect is very busy, so there's no need to trouble you."

Zhang Jing: "Haha, okay, no problem. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me anytime. I live in Guanji Pavilion within the academy. You can just ask anyone there."

Su Yu nodded, and then Zhang Jing left.

After Zhang Jing left, Lin Dong quickly asked, "Su Yu, what are your plans next?"

Su Yu gave Lin Dong a strange look, not understanding why he seemed anxious and uneasy.

Su Yu said, "I plan to take a good look at the research institute to see what's missing, and then ask the governor to arrange a few people to come over as soon as possible so that we can start the research as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong exclaimed, "This won't do! There are people waiting at home!"

He quickly stopped Su Yu, saying, "What you're talking about isn't urgent. Come with me first; someone is waiting for you."

"Ok?"

Su Yu found it strange. Yun Chen had just said that someone important was waiting for him, and now Lin Dong was emphasizing it again, and seemed quite anxious. He couldn't help but ask, "Who is waiting for me?"

"You'll understand when you come with me. It's actually quite complicated," Lin Dong said, unsure how to explain it to Su Yu. He decided to let Su Long and Lin Xuan "perform" while he played a supporting role.

This completely baffled Su Yu. Someone was waiting for him, and it sounded complicated. So what was it?

"Stop thinking about it, hurry up and let's go."

Lin Dong didn't care whether Su Yu agreed or not, and pulled him out.

"Commander Lin, I can walk by myself."

Su Yu broke free from Lin Dong's hand and forced a smile.

"Then hurry up."

"Alright, Commander Lin, lead the way."

······

They left the Great Xuan Civilization Academy.

Lin Dong led Su Yu towards the inner city. His family's residence was near the Prince's Mansion, located in the innermost part of Yaoguang City.

Looking at the route he was taking, Su Yu secretly wondered if he was really going to see the Great Xuan King.

The further Su Yu went, the fewer residences there were, and most of them were the offices of various government agencies of the Great Xuan Prefecture. Among them, Su Yu saw the Yuqiang Bureau.

Sudden.

Lin Dong stopped in his tracks.

"arrive!"

Su Yu looked up and saw a vermilion gate with a huge plaque above it that read "Lin Residence".

······

Su Yu looked at Lin Dong, his eyes full of doubt. Wasn't he going to see the Great Xuan King?

I don't think the Great Xuan King's surname is Lin.

"Forest……"

"Don't ask, just go inside and you'll find out!"

Snapped!

Lin Dong slapped Su Yu hard on the back.

"hiss!"

Su Yu staggered and gasped sharply. Even with over three hundred acupoints open, he felt a sharp pain.

Seeing the pain on Su Yu's face, Lin Dong realized what was happening and scratched the back of his head sheepishly, "Sorry, sorry, I got a little excited."

Su Yu rubbed his back and looked at Lin Dong with a resentful expression. Did he think that getting excited would overshadow the fact that Lin Dong hit him?

Do you think I, Su Yu, am so easily dismissed?

Just you wait!

Su Yu secretly made a mental note of Lin Dong's name. Poor Lin Dong had no idea that he had already been noted down by Su Yu before he even recognized his "grandson".

Meanwhile, in the Lin family hall.

Su Long, Lin Xuan, and others were already waiting there. Lin Xuan seemed quite anxious, and Su Long kept trying to comfort her.

Just then, a servant ran in, shouting, "Coming, coming! They're at the door!"

Swish!

Su Long, Lin Xuan, and the others jumped to their feet. Su Long quickly looked at the others and asked, "Did everyone memorize their lines? Don't forget them, or else..."

"I've noted it down, Your Excellency. Please rest assured!"

Lin Tong's eldest son, Lin Xian, said with certainty.

"Get out of here! Don't call me 'Lord,' call me 'Young Master'!"

"Yes, yes, yes," Lin Xian replied, then looked at the others, "Have you all remembered?"

"I've got it!"

Everyone had already memorized their lines perfectly; it was just that Su Long was too nervous.

"Husband, do you think A-Yu will acknowledge me later? Will he hate me?"

Lin Xuan asked anxiously. Although she had asked this question countless times and Su Long had answered it countless times, it still couldn't completely calm her heart.

Su Long patiently replied, "Don't worry, A Yu will definitely understand you. He asked me about you when he was little. Obviously, he misses his mother too, but he was afraid of upsetting me, so he never brought it up again."

Da da da……

A series of footsteps sounded.

Lin Xuan rushed out immediately. She recognized Su Yu at a glance, and tears instantly streamed down her face. She staggered toward Su Yu.

As the woman slowly approached him, Su Yu inexplicably felt a familiar aura, as if he knew her, but he definitely didn't.

Lin Xuan slowly walked up to Su Yu, tremblingly raised her hand, and touched Su Yu's cheek. Her tears were still flowing down her face.

For reasons unknown, Su Yu did not flinch, but stood still, letting the strange woman stroke his cheek. At that moment, he felt a deep warmth.

For some reason, he felt like crying at that moment.

At this moment, Su Long walked out of the hall, and Su Yu saw him immediately. He shouted, "Dad!?"

"My son!"

Su Long rushed over and gave Su Yu a big hug; the two hadn't seen each other for more than half a year.

Su Yu asked, both surprised and puzzled, "Dad, what are you doing here?"

Su Long waved his hand, "Don't worry about that for now, take a look at who this is first."

Su Long pulled Lin Xuan in front of Su Yu.

Su Yu looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar woman, then glanced at Su Long, and said in surprise, "Dad, you can't be serious? You found me a stepmother?"

Snapped!

Su Long was so angry at Su Yu's words that he jumped up and slapped him hard on the head, shouting, "What nonsense are you talking about? She is your mother, your own mother!"

Deng Deng Deng!

Su Yu took a few steps back, pointed at Su Long, and questioned, "You're not my dad! My dad said my mom passed away a long time ago, don't try to fool me!"

"Fuck you!"

Su Long was furious. He quickly took off his shoes, looking as if he intended to hit someone with the soles.

"You...you stay away, or I'll attack!"

Seeing Su Long's appearance, Su Yu recalled some terrifying memories. When he was a child, Su Long had also hit him with the sole of his shoe. This scene seemed familiar.

At this moment, Su Yu saw Lin Dong standing to the side and loudly questioned, "Commander Lin, what do you mean? Why did you send someone to impersonate my father?! My father is currently on the Battlefield of the Heavens, with the Demon Suppression Army, he couldn't possibly be here!"

"..."

Lin Dong was speechless. He never expected this to happen. This was completely out of the script!

In the void, Yun Jie and his son almost burst out laughing when they saw this scene. Su Yu's thought process was truly amazing; he actually questioned whether his father was his father.

Yun Chen gave Yun Jie a thumbs up and said, "As expected of your grandson, amazing! I'm impressed!"

"Get out of here, are you implying something about your father?" Yun Jie glared at Yun Chen. This kid has no manners; it seems he hasn't been disciplined in a long time.
