With that one sentence,
Su Qingxue's face, once full of confidence and composure, instantly darkened.
Her gaze turned terrifyingly cold.
"What did you say?" Su Qingxue seemed to think she had misheard.
In White Cloud County, someone actually dared to ask her what she was in that tone?
Did he not want to live?
Xu Ye looked at Su Qingxue as though she were an idiot and said flatly, "Can't understand human speech?"
"Impudence!" The scar-faced coachman's expression immediately sank, streams of spiritual power surging around him as though he were about to attack Xu Ye.
Su Qingxue's face darkened as she waved a hand.
The scar-faced coachman shot Xu Ye a cold glare but did not make a move.
Only then did Su Qingxue stare at Xu Ye and say, "Kid, have I given you too much face? Do you think I don't dare kill you?"
If not for the fact that she had just taken Xu Ye's special pardon decree and did not want to leave the Demon-Suppression Bureau with something to hold against her,
she would have personally killed Xu Ye long ago.
Why would she have let the Clear Spring Gang do it?
Even so, did this kid think she did not dare kill him?
Hearing this, Xu Ye sneered. "Do you really think your Su Family can cover the sky with one hand?"
The moment those words came out, Su Qingxue was so angry that she laughed. With two cold chuckles, she looked at the scar-faced coachman and said, "Kill him!"
After provoking her again and again, Su Qingxue had completely run out of patience.
Killing this fellow would be no more than a matter of spending some effort to smooth things over afterward.
She did not believe the Demon-Suppression Bureau would turn against the Su Family for a dead man.
As her words fell, the scar-faced coachman wasted no time. He turned into an afterimage and pounced toward Xu Ye.
Seeing this, Xu Ye did not move. He could sense that the scar-faced coachman was extraordinarily powerful, far beyond what he, at the ninth level of Meridian Opening, could handle.
Perhaps this man had already reached the Qi Control realm.
He could not even be bothered to fight. With a lift of his hand, the Demon-Suppression Bureau identity badge appeared in his palm.
"You dare attack a Demon-Suppression Guard of the Demon-Suppression Bureau in broad daylight? I wonder how many lives you have to throw away?"
As his words fell, the scar-faced coachman noticed the Demon-Suppression Bureau badge in Xu Ye's hand. His pupils immediately contracted, and he instantly halted his attack.
"Why haven't you made your move?" Su Qingxue asked darkly when she saw the scar-faced coachman stop.
"Miss..." The scar-faced coachman's expression shifted before he moved his gaze aside.
Su Qingxue swept her eyes over and immediately saw the Demon-Suppression Bureau badge in Xu Ye's hand.
Her expression changed drastically, her pupils shrinking slightly.
"A Demon-Suppression Bureau badge!" Su Qingxue cried out. Staring at Xu Ye, she asked in disbelief, "You became a Demon-Suppression Guard of the Demon-Suppression Bureau?"
Even if she racked her brains to the point of breaking, she never would have imagined that Xu Ye had become a Demon-Suppression Guard.
How was that possible?
Xu Ye sneered. "What a coincidence. Just moments ago, I became a black-robed Demon-Suppression Guard of the Demon-Suppression Bureau."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Su Qingxue's expression kept changing, her eyes incomparably dark.
This kid was nothing but a street brat, and he had even sold that special pardon decree to her.
How could he still enter the Demon-Suppression Bureau?
"Did you take the Demon-Suppression Bureau's examination?" Su Qingxue suddenly thought of something, and her expression shifted slightly.
The Demon-Suppression Bureau's semiannual examination was being held today. Could it really be such a coincidence?
Xu Ye could not be bothered to answer her. His tone turned disdainful as he said, "Miss Su, don't say I look down on you, but if you attack a Demon-Suppression Guard of the Demon-Suppression Bureau in broad daylight, even if I gave you ten times the courage, would you dare?"
Hearing this, Su Qingxue's face darkened immensely.
If it had been before, she would have thought that killing Xu Ye was no big deal.
At most, if the Demon-Suppression Bureau asked questions, she could pull some strings and the matter would pass.
But Xu Ye was now a Demon-Suppression Guard. That changed everything.
If she dared kill Xu Ye in the street, it would be no different from slapping the Demon-Suppression Bureau across the face.
The Demon-Suppression Bureau would be the first to spare no mercy for the Su Family.
She did not dare do such a thing.
And her silence now was entirely because she could not believe Xu Ye had become a Demon-Suppression Guard.
Seeing that Su Qingxue said nothing, Xu Ye said flatly, "If you don't dare, what are you putting on airs for?"
After saying that, he glanced at the scar-faced coachman and said, "You'd better pray I never reach the Qi Control realm. Otherwise, you'll be the first one I kill."
With that, he could not even be bothered to spare Su Qingxue another glance before turning and leaving.
Even in these troubled times, the Demon-Suppression Bureau's prestige still carried weight.
Even the Su Family had to bow its head before the Demon-Suppression Bureau.
Otherwise, why would everyone want to enter the Demon-Suppression Bureau?
This was the patron he had chosen for himself.
"How did this happen?"
"How could he possibly enter the Demon-Suppression Bureau?"
"Wasn't he born with blocked martial meridians?"
Su Qingxue ignored Xu Ye as he left, her eyes becoming complicated and puzzled.
Xu Ye's sudden move had thrown all her plans into disarray.
"There is definitely something wrong with this kid!"
"In just a few days, he went from being born with blocked martial meridians to becoming a Demon-Suppression Guard in one leap. Interesting, truly interesting. I'm finding this more and more interesting."
Su Qingxue's eyes suddenly lit up, as though she had thought of some possibility.
A hint of greed appeared on her face.
Seeing Su Qingxue like this, the scar-faced coachman wisely returned in silence to the coachman's seat.
Just then, a startled cry rang out. "Sis, what are you doing here?"
Hearing this, Su Qingxue raised her head slightly and saw a young man in the black robes of a Demon-Suppression Guard swaggering over.
The newcomer was none other than her biological younger brother, Su Yu!
"Xiao Yu!" Su Qingxue called.
"Sis! What are you doing here?" Su Yu walked up to the carriage, his face full of confusion.
"Nothing, just taking a stroll. What about you? Have you adjusted to the Demon-Suppression Bureau?" Su Qingxue came back to her senses and asked.
At this, Su Yu immediately smiled, his face animated. "There really isn't much to do inside the Demon-Suppression Bureau, but patrolling the streets outside is pretty interesting. Now that I'm a Demon-Suppression Guard, wherever I go, everyone has to address me as Lord Demon-Suppression Guard."
Clearly, he was very satisfied with his current situation.
Unlike before, wherever he went now, people looked at him with reverence and fear.
It felt great!
"That's good." Su Qingxue nodded slightly, seeming somewhat distracted.
Su Yu frowned slightly at the sight. "Sis, did something happen? Why do you look so worried?"
"Tell me if there's anything. I'm a Demon-Suppression Guard now—I'll settle it all for you."
Hearing this, a gleam flashed through Su Qingxue's eyes. "Xiao Yu, do you know where the special pardon decree that got you into the Demon-Suppression Bureau came from?"
"Didn't you specially prepare it for me, Sis?" Su Yu asked in confusion.
Where else could it have come from?
No one in his family had died.
Su Qingxue smiled faintly and recounted what had happened between her and Xu Ye, embellishing the story as she went.
After hearing Su Qingxue out, Su Yu frowned slightly. "You're saying that a useless piece of trash who couldn't even hold on to a special pardon decree somehow slipped into the Demon-Suppression Bureau?"
Su Qingxue nodded slightly without speaking.
Su Yu still had some brains. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Sis, do you want me to take him out?"
