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

Despite his inner turmoil, the middle-aged man replied, "I know, but..."

Su Yu's heart sank, and he pressed, "But what? Speak!"

"However, the Su family is guarded by experts sent from the Great Xuan Mansion, and no outsiders are allowed to get close. We can't even enter the Su family's residential area right now."

"!?!" Su Yu was shocked. This was something he hadn't expected, and the Great Xuan Palace had never mentioned this matter to him before.

Then the middle-aged man said, "Young Master Chen, you also come from the Great Xuan Prefecture, and even from the Chen family. You don't know about this?"

Chen Guan snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Why should I know about this? I only need to know where there are beautiful women."

“Uh… Young Master Chen is right,” the middle-aged man realized he couldn’t refute it. This was indeed not something a playboy should be concerned with; hunting for women was his real goal.

"So, Young Master Chen, you went to the Su family because..."

Su Yu glanced at him sideways, "You're a strange person. Who are you? What I do is none of your business. And can't I just go and see out of curiosity?"

Su Yu said coldly, "Know your place. I'm asking you questions, not the other way around. If you say another word, I'll kill you!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

The middle-aged man nodded hurriedly in agreement. As "Chen Guan" spoke, he could already feel the killing intent emanating from "Chen Guan." If he said another word, he would really die!

Su Yu then asked, "Do you know how many experts are guarding the Su family? Who exactly are they, and what are their cultivation levels?"

The middle-aged man quickly replied, "We've only seen one person so far. We don't know their exact identity, but they are a powerful expert in the Mountain and Sea Realm. We can't tell exactly which level they are."

Su Yu fell into deep thought, alone in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

A powerful expert at the Mountain and Sea Realm could become a Grand Secretary in any of the major prefectures in the Human Realm, yet there is one guarding his hometown. What is his purpose?

"Alright, get out of here."

Su Yu waved his hand, his mind was full of thoughts, and he had no time to chat with the man. He casually dismissed him.

The middle-aged man also disappeared into the crowd in an instant, seemingly not intending to stay in Nanyuan any longer.

Then "Chen Guan" swaggered toward the Su family's house, whistling as he went, looking quite nonchalant.

Many people were watching him, wondering if he would be thrown out by the expert at the Mountain and Sea Realm.

"Probably not? Chen Guan is, after all, a direct descendant of a Sun Moon Realm expert, and they're from the same major prefecture. They wouldn't be so disrespectful, would they?"

"It's hard to say. After all, he is a powerful expert in the Mountain and Sea Realm. What would happen if he threw out a spoiled brat? He didn't hit him or hurt him. What can Prefect Chen say?"

Without mentioning what others were saying.

Su Yu returned to the entrance of the residential area and looked around. He found that the place had not changed much since he left. Everything was just as it had been before.

This made Su Yu feel very gratified, especially since all the neighbors were still there, except for Wu Asan's family who had moved away.

Su Yu thought to himself that they must have heard of his infamous reputation, which was why they moved away in such a hurry.

Hmph! You're lucky you ran away fast, otherwise I would have settled accounts with you!

Just as he was about to enter the residential area, a figure appeared, somewhat blurry and not very clear. He heard the figure say in a deep voice, "Chen Guan, this is not a place for you."

Su Yu stopped, sized him up carefully, and said arrogantly, "Who are you? You know who I am and you still dare to stop me?"

Kong Zhen chuckled lightly, his tone firm, "Your status isn't enough to scare me. Your great-grandfather would be more likely to do it. Besides, I'm here on the orders of the Lord of the Manor. Even Chen Henian can't enter without the Lord of the Manor's permission!"

Chen Guan retorted indignantly, "Why? This isn't the territory of the Great Xuan Mansion!"

"Hehe, although this is not the territory of my Great Xuan Mansion, it is indeed the residence of Su Yu, the pride of my Great Xuan Mansion. How can just anyone come here? Moreover, we know exactly what you are planning. I don't need to spell it out for you."

Kong Zhen's answer caught Su Yu off guard. He was indeed a prodigy of the Great Xuan Prefecture, but what was this "mansion"? Wasn't it just an ordinary residence?

However, it instantly elevates the style!

However, Su Yu still had doubts in his mind, and he continued, "So, you plan to seize Su Yu's relics? Did you get Su Yu's consent?"

"How dare you! As a citizen of the Great Xuan Mansion, how can you utter such treasonous words!"

Chen Guan's words instantly enraged Kong Zhen, who pressed down on Chen Guan with an imposing aura, as if he were about to attack at the slightest provocation.

However, considering Chen Guan's identity, Kong Zhen still explained, "Since receiving the Lord's order, I have been guarding this place and have never stepped into the Su family's residence, nor have I touched a single thing inside. How can I allow you to slander me!"

"Besides, it was Su Long's request to send people to protect the Su residence. Only after obtaining the Lord of the Mansion's consent was I transferred out of the Xuanwu Army. So, does it matter whether Su Yu's consent is involved or not? Can he compare to his father?"

"..."

Su Yu hadn't expected this to happen, but why hadn't his father told him?

However, Su Yu quickly realized that even Su Long didn't know he had gone out this time. Because he was afraid that Su Long and his wife would worry, Su Yu lied and said that he was in seclusion to heal his injuries, so Su Long probably felt that there was no need to tell him.

After receiving Kong Zhen's reply, Su Yu felt a great weight lifted from his heart. He had been genuinely worried that the Great Xuan Mansion might have some ulterior motives towards his ruins.

Su Yu's idea was simple: if you want it, you can just tell me. Given their relationship, he wouldn't have a problem handing it over. But you can't take it without asking; that's robbery.

Although there are no relics, you cannot search the area without my permission.

upstairs.

Watching the two exchange, Yun Jie knew that if he didn't intervene, Su Yu probably wouldn't be able to get in.

It refers to the situation where he is not exposed.

So Yun Jie slowly walked downstairs.

Tapping.

Footsteps echoed in the hallway.

With their keen hearing, Kong Zhen and Su Yu could hear it perfectly clearly.

Both of them looked towards the exit of the stairwell at the same time.

Yun Jie came out and stretched in front of the sun. "Haha, the weather is really nice today."

grandfather!

Su Yu was shocked. Yun Jie wasn't there when he came back last time. He didn't expect him to reappear now. This grandfather is really... elusive.

Then Yun Jie looked as if he had just discovered Kong Zhen and "Chen Guan".

"Oh, Lord Kong is sunbathing here too? Oh, and who is this...?"

Sunbathing, my foot!

Kong Zhen stared blankly at Yun Jie, speechless, ignoring him. He then turned to Chen Guan and said coldly, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

Su Yu looked at Kong Zhen, then at Yun Jie, and said, "Hello, Uncle. Judging from your appearance, you must be a resident here. I am Su Yu's classmate. May I ask if I can come to your home as a guest?"

Su Yu pretended not to know Yun Jie and even lied and said that Yun Jie was Su Yu's classmate.

Yun Jie gave him a deep look and asked, "Are you A Yu's classmate? Are you from Da Xia or Da Xuan?"

"Daxuan."

Yun Jie stepped forward and grabbed Chen Guan's hand, asking excitedly, "How is A Yu doing now? How is he doing? Is anyone bullying him over there?"

"You are……"

Seeing Yun Jie's excited expression, Su Yu felt a warmth in his heart, but he still pretended not to know Yun Jie.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm Su Yu's grandfather."

"No way? You look so young, how could you possibly be his grandfather!"

Chen Guan looked surprised, as if to say, "Don't try to fool me, I'm not well-educated."

“It’s a long story, but I am indeed Su Yu’s grandfather. If you don’t believe me, you can ask this Lord Kong. He has confirmed my identity,” Yun Jie said, pointing to Kong Zhen.

Chen Guan turned to look at Kong Zhen, "Is what he said true?"

Although he didn't want to pay attention to "Chen Guan", Kong Zhen nodded and acknowledged Yun Jie's identity.

“Come, come, young man, come to my house and have a seat. Tell me about A-Yu,” Yun Jie grabbed “Chen Guan”’s arm and pulled him upstairs.

Kong Zhen did not stop them; it was an invitation they had extended, and he was only responsible for guarding them.

Seeing this, Chen Guan gave Kong Zhen a provocative look, and then followed Yun Jie upstairs.

inside the house.

Su Yu looked around the room and found it was exactly the same as when he left, except for a few more pairs of smelly socks by the door, which were obviously Yun Jie's.

"Come, have some tea."

"Thank you."

Su Yu held the teacup and carefully observed Yun Jie, discovering that he was indeed an "ordinary person" at the Thousand Jun Realm, but his appearance...

As an outsider, Su Yu decided to ask properly, "Uncle, you..."

Yun Jie interrupted him, looking at him with a smile, "Why are you calling me 'uncle'? I'm old enough to be your grandfather. Call me 'grandfather'."

Su Yu was shocked. He caught a hint of mockery in Yun Jie's eyes. Could it be...?

Yun Jie looked around, then walked up to "Chen Guan" and asked in a low voice, "Was that Lord Kong eavesdropping?"

Su Yu carefully sensed the situation and found that Kong Zhen showed no signs of eavesdropping, so he shook his head.

"That's good," Yun Jie breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Su Yu with a smile and said, "Then I won't pretend anymore, you must be A-Yu."

!!!

Su Yu was shocked. Had they really found out?

How did Grandpa figure it out?

"What are you talking about, uncle? How could I possibly be Su Yu?"

"Alright, since no one is eavesdropping, you don't need to pretend in front of me anymore. Your grandpa has watched you grow up since you were a child, how could I not recognize you? The moment I saw you, I felt a sense of familiarity from you."

"Furthermore, once you entered the room, everything you did, from walking to sitting down, was so natural, just like being back at home."

"Most importantly, the emotions in your eyes cannot be faked."

Yun Jie chuckled and said, "Well? Do you want me to continue?"
