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

Su Yu smiled and shook his head. He's quite cautious. Well, that makes sense. He wouldn't have survived this long if he wasn't cautious. It seems this guy isn't completely stupid. Maybe he just trusts the people in the organization more. Maybe.

However, Su Yu also suspected that Huang Jiu was doing it on purpose, just to lull him into a false sense of security. He was currently the head of the Hunter's Pavilion in the Great Xia Prefecture. If he were eliminated, Huang Jiu would likely replace him as the head of the Great Xia Prefecture. Therefore, Su Yu was wary of Huang Jiu.

Although he laughed at Huang Jiu during the day, he didn't actually consider Huang Jiu a complete idiot. People say that old people become shrewd, and he didn't believe that Huang Jiu was really that stupid. There must be something fishy about this. Maybe Huang Jiu was really planning to kill him.

Regardless of whether they are or not, we must be wary. No one in the Hunter's Pavilion is trustworthy; they are all a group of selfish and self-serving individuals who will do anything for profit.

Once Yun Jie returned to the house, he no longer needed to keep an eye on Su Yu, since nothing could block his view.

Under Yun Jie's watchful gaze, Su Yu began to pretend to examine the Hunter's Ranking sub-ranks, acting as if he had never seen them before.

Yun Jie shook his head slightly. Su Yu's acting skills still need improvement. If you're going to pretend, at least make it look convincing. Can you please stop looking around with your eyes on you? Are you afraid others won't see you?

Immediately afterwards, Yun Jie contacted Su Yu through the mask: "Xuan Jiu, I just gave Lin Xian a ranking list. He seems quite curious and not particularly resistant. We should be able to get in touch further."

Su Yu's eyes flickered, but his hands didn't stop; he was still flipping through the Hunter's Ranking sub-ranks.

That's strange. How come I didn't find Huang Jiu? His hiding methods are so clever.

"Xuan Jiu, are you listening?"

"Oh, yes, I was just thinking about something and got distracted."

Su Yu did not give up searching for Huang Jiu's whereabouts. While replying, he observed his surroundings, but only secretly. From Huang Jiu's words, he knew that Huang Jiu was hiding somewhere and watching him, so he did not do anything unusual.

Su Yu quickly said, "Since he didn't reject you, you can indeed make further contact with him. However, you don't need to rush to extract information from him. First, gain his trust. One interesting thing about humans is that once you gain their trust, they will open their hearts to you. Then, getting information will be a piece of cake."

"Xuan Jiu, you know so much. By the way, which clan do you come from?"

Su Yu immediately retorted, "And you?"

Yun Jie said with a smile, "It's just a small clan, let's not talk about it."

Su Yu: "What a coincidence, me too."

Su Yu was a little annoyed. "I haven't even gotten any information out of you yet, and you're already trying to get information out of me?"

But this guy seems like a completely different person at night. Where did his silly side from the daytime go? Keep going!

Undeterred, Su Yu said again, "Huang Jiu, when you're secretly watching Lin Xian, don't get too close. Be careful he doesn't discover you. His great-grandfather was a super strong expert at the ninth level of the Sun and Moon Realm. He might have some methods we don't know about."

Yun Jie said confidently, "Don't worry, unless he has an invincible method, he can't possibly find me. Besides, I'm not that close to him. I'm using my talent... cough cough, anyway, he won't find me."

Su Yu thought to himself, "A talent skill? If he has a talent skill that allows him to spy from a distance, Huang Jiu's background is probably not simple. Which clan is he from?"

Su Yu didn't say anything more. Asking like that wouldn't get him anything out of him and would only arouse his suspicion. "Okay, just know your limits. Don't expect me to come and save you before we've even started. Let me make this clear: I won't come to save you unless there's something in return."

“Understood. I’ll try to gain his trust next, but I might need your cooperation,” Huang Jiu said excitedly. “When he leaves Nan Yuan, you pretend to be an alien and attack him. Then I’ll repel you at the crucial moment and save him. What do you think?”

Su Yu: "..."

Isn't that a bad idea? I'm attacking myself?

On the other side, Yun Jie chuckled to himself, suddenly realizing how wicked he had been.

Soon, Su Yu said coldly, "I'm busy right now. I'm about to do something big. Contact the others and see if they're willing to cooperate with you."

"Oh, that's such a pity."

Yes, that's true; Yun Jie meant it from the bottom of his heart.

What a pity!

Su Yu cursed under his breath.

Don't let me get the chance, I'll kill you sooner or later!

"Then I'll contact Xuan Shiqi and Di Shiba. They should be interested, but unfortunately... they'll have to share again."

Su Yu said in a deep voice, "It's up to you, but my 40% is non-negotiable!"

Huang Jiu said urgently, "Isn't this a bit much? You haven't even contributed anything, and you still want a 40% cut? Even if I have no objection, do you think Xuan Shiqi and Di Shiba won't have any objections?"

Su Yu's tone was unfriendly: "Are you planning to back out? Don't forget, I am the person in charge of the Great Xia Prefecture, and you are all under my command!"

Yun Jie said helplessly, "Yes, you are our superior, but I don't want to either. If it were just the two of us, I would have no objection to giving you 40%. But now that Xuan Shiqi and Di Shiba want to join, your distribution is not reasonable. You can't get more than me, unless you are willing to help."

After a long silence, Su Yu finally snorted coldly, "You and I each take 30%, Xuan Shiqi and Di Shiba each take 20%, that's it! If that's not enough, then we'll just split up!"

“Okay, then let’s do it this way…” Huang Jiu agreed reluctantly, then continued, “I’ll contact Xuan Shiqi and the others now.”

Su Yu fell silent, as if he were angry.

Yun Jie ignored him and directly contacted Xuan Shiqi and Di Shiba, then quickly explained his plan and profit sharing to them. As expected, both of them agreed and said they would set off for Nanyuan immediately.

During this time, Su Yu kept spying on the screen. He could also see the conversation between Yun Jie and Xuan Shiqi. After all, Yun Jie and the others were using a public channel, so they could deliberately hide it from him. However, he didn't say anything.

Finally, Yun Jie said to Xuan Shiqi and Di Shiba, "You two should not approach Nanyuan City easily. There are many experts here now, including dozens of Sun and Moon Realm experts. If you are not good at hiding, you will be easily discovered. You should find a place to hide outside the city. Once Lin Xian leaves Nanyuan, I will contact you immediately. At that time, you just need to cooperate with me."

Xuan Shiqi and Di Shiba replied, "Okay!"

After their conversation ended, Su Yu pondered whether he should kill Huang Jiu and the other two. With his current strength, killing them wouldn't be difficult, but that would leave him all alone.

Alright, let's spare their lives for now. Today is only the first day, no rush, there will be plenty of opportunities later.

That's why he's called Su Yu. On the very first day, he was already thinking about killing his "buddy." No normal person would do something like that. But thankfully, he still had some reservations, otherwise Yun Jie would have had a near-death experience soon.

Of course, Yun Jie not only had to guard against Su Yu killing him, but also against Xuan Jia, also known as Nan Wujiang, who was ruthless in scheming against members of the Hunter's Pavilion.

Nan Wujiang's idea was actually similar to Su Yu's. The vast majority of people in the Hunter's Pavilion were of different races, and many of them were hostile to the human race. Therefore, they would kill as many as possible and would never kill the wrong one.

Of course, for them, killing the wrong person is no big deal. It's not like they haven't killed humans before. They're hiding in the Hunter's Pavilion, so if they get killed, they can just accept their bad luck.

······

The next day.

7 month 30 day.

Lin Xian got up very early and walked straight to the neighborhood where the Su family lived, swaggering along the way and not caring at all about the opinions of others.

"Kid, go back. There's nothing to see here. If so many of us couldn't find it, there's even less chance you, Ling Yun, could find it."

On the way, someone said to Su Yu that they had come here with a whole bunch of mountains, seas, suns, and moons but had gained nothing, and they didn't believe that Su Yu could discover anything.

Su Yu smiled faintly: "Not necessarily. Relics are more about luck than strength. Otherwise, wouldn't it have been discovered by Invincible?"

Su Yu paused for a moment, then continued, "So much time has passed, I don't believe that Wudi didn't come to investigate. Since the concentration of Yuan Qi in Nan Yuan is still rising, it means that the ruins are still there. In other words, they didn't find them either, which proves that this thing depends on luck, and I guess I'm pretty lucky."

"Ha, whose kid is this, talking so big?"

On a nearby rooftop, a figure slowly opened its eyes, its tone unfriendly, because Su Yu's words implied that they were unlucky and that's why they hadn't found the ruins.

Su Yu arrogantly declared, "The Lin family of the Great Xuan Prefecture! My great-grandfather was Lin Dong, the commander of the Great Xuan Xuanwu Army!"

The man on the rooftop, who was a Sun and Moon, was somewhat surprised, but he was not intimidated at all. He was a Sun and Moon himself, and he was not intimidated by Lin Dong's name. Moreover, the person in front of him was not Lin Dong himself.

"Heh, quite arrogant. If Lin Dong were here, I would naturally give way. Unfortunately, you are not! As a mere fourth-generation descendant, you'd better not be so arrogant. Today, I'll let you off the hook for Lin Dong's sake. I hope you'll behave yourself!"

As he spoke, his imposing aura surged and subsided, but this aura appeared quickly and disappeared just as fast. He was merely warning Lin Xian, who was prone to speaking recklessly.

As expected, Lin Xian looked frightened and dared not say anything more. He slunk into the Su family's residential area, then quickly went upstairs to the Su family's house.

At this moment, the doorknob of the Su family's house had disappeared, and the door frame was also somewhat dilapidated. "Lin Xian" looked normal and indifferent as he stepped into the Su family's house.

As soon as he entered the room, Su Yu noticed something was wrong.

These things... don't seem to belong to us.

Su Yu looked around and found that the furniture and appliances, such as the sofa, TV, and refrigerator, were completely different from what he remembered. Everything in the room had changed, and at that moment, he almost wondered if he had gone to the wrong floor.

No, there's no mistake, this is room 301 on the sixth floor of building three!

Having walked up the stairs for eighteen years and lived in the home for eighteen years, Su Yu was certain that he had not gone to the wrong room.

Moreover, there were several height markings in the room, a total of sixteen. Every year since he was two years old, he would stand there with his back against the wall, and Su Long or Yun Jie would help him measure his height. Each time, a mark would be left on the wall until he turned eighteen and left Nan Yuan.

Therefore, this is indeed the home he has lived in since childhood, and as a child returning home, he would never mistake it for his own.

At this moment, Su Yu wondered if those people outside had taken away or shattered all his "memories" and then pretended to replace them with a new set. If that were the case, he would want to kill someone right now!

They went on a killing spree!

However, Su Yu had not completely lost his mind. He suppressed his killing intent and contacted Yun Chen again, his tone somewhat indifferent: "Lord of the Manor, what's going on with my family?"

Yun Chen responded quickly, since he wasn't busy at all, or rather, he was quite free. At this moment, he asked with some confusion, "Your home? Oh, you mean Nan Yuan's place?"

"Yes, that's right."

"What happened to your house? Was it vandalized?"

"I want to know, where did all the things that used to be in my house go?"

Yun Chen was somewhat surprised and said, "Don't you know? My father, who is also your grandfather, took those things back to the Great Xuan King's Mansion. Now those things should have been handed over to Su Long, right?"

"Huh? Is that so? I thought..."

The killing intent in Su Yu's heart instantly dissipated. If that's the case, then everything is fine.

"Yes, that's right. Your grandfather said that those things carry your memories and your childhood, and we can't let others destroy them. Of course, as for the house, there's nothing we can do. You should understand."

“Yes,” Su Yu naturally understood. There was really nothing that could be done about the house. He was already very touched that the things inside the house could be preserved intact.

Soon, Su Yu smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Grandpa!"

the other side.

Deep in the alley.

Yun Jie stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. He sensed Su Yu's thoughts and smiled knowingly. This was fine.
