Platinum Tier III: A Step Away from Legendary Demon Hunter

"How many years have we known each other? Don't try to play your little tricks with me. I know what you're worried about. Rest assured, I won't report Chen Shuo's matter to the capital."

Elder Xu said gravely. In fact, from the moment he chose to help Chen Shuo, he had made his decision.

As a Legendary Demon Hunter, all his actions represented the entire Monster Hunters' Guild.

Moreover, he had also done something that crossed the line. This incident was already a stain on his decades-long career.

If it were reported, he would also face punishment from the entire Monster Hunters' Guild.

Rather than complicating matters, it was better to keep it hidden for now.

Besides, from his few interactions with Chen Shuo, he had redefined his view of Vampires.

Not all Vampires were bad; there were good ones too.

As long as one's heart was inclined towards goodness, why should it matter which camp they belonged to?

"Elder Xu, I knew you were the most understanding. We must have this meal today, and have it properly. We haven't had a good drink together in years. Let's take this opportunity to have a proper drink."

After receiving Elder Xu's affirmative response, Su Yuanying was completely relieved.

As a Legendary Demon Hunter, his promises were certainly guaranteed.

Faced with Su Yuanying's enthusiasm, Elder Xu only responded with a cold glance: "Save it. You can keep your 'trap' to yourself."

"But we still need to eat, right?"

"No need. I've already spent too much time in Su City. The capital sent an urgent report this morning. There are changes in the capital, and I need to hurry back."

Elder Xu said, unable to suppress a heavy sigh.

Although Elder Xu didn't fully explain the ins and outs of the matter, from his solemn expression, it was clear that the situation in the capital must be quite tricky.

"Is that so? That's really too bad. Son-in-law, quick, quick, thank our Elder Xu. If it weren't for Elder Xu this time, we wouldn't have resolved things so smoothly."

Su Yuanying put on a regretful expression, while simultaneously urging Chen Shuo to thank Elder Xu.

Chen Shuo naturally understood Su Yuanying's good intentions and immediately cupped his hands: "Elder Xu, a thousand words cannot express my gratitude. In the future, if there's anything I can do to help, I will do so without hesitation!"

Chen Shuo's words came from the bottom of his heart. He was a person who remembered kindness and repaid favors. Since Elder Xu was willing to lend a hand in times of crisis, he naturally wouldn't stand idly by if Elder Xu encountered trouble.

"No need. Our paths are different. It's better if we meet less in the future." Faced with Chen Shuo's goodwill, Elder Xu's attitude was also very clear.

Then, as if feeling his previous words were somewhat inappropriate, he spoke again: "No, it would be best if we don't meet at all."

"Elder Xu, look at what you're saying. He is my son-in-law after all. For my sake, shouldn't we interact more often?"

Su Yuanying tried to smooth things over, but Elder Xu wasn't having it: "Save it. Our paths are fundamentally different. This is already the biggest concession I can make. Enough talk, I'm leaving."

With that, Elder Xu turned and left without any further courtesy.

Chen Shuo and Su Yuanying were left standing awkwardly in the wind. Only after Elder Xu had disappeared did Su Yuanying manage an awkward smile: "That's just how he is, an odd fellow. But don't worry, he always keeps his word. Your situation won't be reported to the capital."

Chen Shuo nodded silently. At this moment, he wasn't concerned about himself.

No matter what happened to him, even if he offended those people in the capital, he could protect himself.

What he was worried about was that because of his involvement, Su Xiyan would be implicated, and it would further implicate the Su family.

Su Yuanying, being experienced, saw through Chen Shuo's concerns at a glance. He patted Chen Shuo's shoulder and smiled, "Come on, don't worry. As the saying goes, 'When the enemy comes, we'll fight; when the flood comes, we'll build a dam.'"

"You don't think our Su family came out of nowhere, do you? With years of accumulated influence, our Su family still holds a place. Even if it's because of you, the capital won't give our Su family too much trouble."

Hearing Su Yuanying say this, Chen Shuo nodded again.

"Uncle, I have something else to tell you..."

Chen Shuo then recounted the strange phenomena that had occurred with Su Xiyan. After listening, Su Yuanying also fell into deep thought.

"That's impossible. How could this happen? I've never encountered the problems Xiyan is having since I broke through to Platinum. Where is she now? Take me to see her."

Learning that Su Xiyan had broken through to the Platinum tier, he was proud as a father.

However, the strange phenomena happening to Su Xiyan also made him take it seriously.

Su Family Residence.

As soon as they returned to the Su residence, Chen Shuo led Su Yuanying to Su Xiyan's chamber.

At this time, Su Xiyan had returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that Su Xiyan was fine, Su Yuanying, as a father, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Dad, you're back so soon?"

Seeing Su Yuanying and Chen Shuo, Su Xiyan was overjoyed.

"Yes, we left the aftermath to the guild people. After hearing about your situation, we came back immediately. Come here, let me take a look at you."

At Su Yuanying's gesture, Su Xiyan obediently walked to his side.

Su Yuanying mobilized the celestial energy within his body and pressed it towards Su Xiyan's head. After a thorough examination, Su Yuanying's brows furrowed.

"How is it? Is there any problem?"

Chen Shuo asked anxiously from the side. So much time had passed, surely something must have been discovered.

But Su Yuanying's subsequent reaction left Chen Shuo greatly disappointed. Su Yuanying just shook his head slightly and sighed deeply: "I couldn't detect anything. Her energy is normal, her meridians are normal, everything is normal."

This...

The situation was becoming more complex. To be on the safe side, Chen Shuo also reached out to try to investigate.

Previously, he could vaguely sense something inside Su Xiyan's body, but this time's investigation left him puzzled as well.

The thing that was there before had completely disappeared. No matter where he searched, he couldn't find it.

"How can this be?" Chen Shuo muttered.

"Perhaps it was just a sudden reaction due to breaking through too quickly. You should know that my daughter is now a Platinum Tier 3 hunter. This is truly a great fortune for our Su family."

Su Yuanying remarked with emotion, his eyes glistening.

He had spent his entire life only to barely touch the threshold of becoming a Legendary Demon Hunter. But looking at Su Xiyan, at just over twenty years old, she had already reached Platinum Tier 3.

With just one more breakthrough, she would reach the stage of a Semi-Legendary Hunter.

In a few decades, wouldn't she be able to become a true Legendary Demon Hunter?

If she could achieve that, it would bring great honor to the entire Su family.

Su Yuanying's answer was somewhat forced, but without a definitive conclusion, this was the only way to think about it for now.

At least for now, Su Xiyan hadn't shown any problems, and her strength was already infinitely close to that of the legendary Legendary Demon Hunters.

Given time and after slaying a few more Demon Kings, becoming a Legendary Demon Hunter was within reach.
