"Since I've caught you, have you ever confessed your identity?" This was also what Mo Tianxuan was annoyed about. If she had confessed earlier, she wouldn't have been laughed at by the people in the sect.
Su Yu said coldly, "May I ask if the Palace Master has ever given me a chance to speak?"
His special meridians were sealed by Mo Tianxuan in the beginning, so he could not speak. When he could speak, he was interrogated. How could he have the chance to reveal his identity?
"This …" Mo Tianxuan knew that she was in the wrong, so she was even more annoyed. If this went on, she would not be able to get out of the situation and would lose face in front of outsiders.
"Do you want compensation?" Mo Tianxuan's tone became gentler. "The faction understands that you've been wronged. Just tell us what you want, and we'll definitely consider whatever it is that the faction can give you."
"I don't want you to lay a finger on me, and retreat a thousand miles away from me when you see me!" Su Yu answered without hesitation.
Upon hearing that, Master Ghost's forehead was covered with black lines, and he was secretly shocked. Su Yu was really bold to say such a thing.
Elder Jing furrowed her brows. "How dare you! How dare you disrespect the Palace Master just because of a mere merit? "
Su Yu calmly glanced at her. "I will settle the score with you later!"
As he spoke, Su Yu looked straight into Mo Tianxuan's eyes, which were burning with fury, and said, "If you agree, I'll leave the dungeon. If you don't, I'd rather die trapped in the dungeon than take a step out. If the faction has any difficulties in the future, don't look for me."
Mo Tianxuan clenched her fists and wished she could give him a few punches on his face.
Due to a moment of carelessness, he allowed the other party to gain the upper hand.
He had asked her to stay away from Su Yu and forbid her from touching him. He must have been trying to prevent her from searching his memories.
Regardless of whether it was near or far, continuing to imprison Su Yu wasn't a wise move.
Mo Tianxuan suppressed her anger and forced a smile. "I have been in seclusion all year round. I won't summon you after this. As for touching you, I won't."
"Words alone are no proof. Let me swear the Heart's Oath Scroll first." Su Yu took out the Heart's Oath Scroll from his space ring.
The blue veins on Mo Tianxuan's forehead throbbed. She was the mistress of a palace, and it could be said that her words carried enormous weight. In the end, she was forced to sign the Scroll of the Heart's Oath by a brat.
Mo Tianxuan suppressed her anger and took the Heart's Oath Scroll. She dripped her blood essence into it and signed the contract on the spot.
Su Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
Mo Tianxuan stared at Su Yu, both infuriated and sneering inwardly. "If a Heart's Oath Scroll could stop me, how could you call yourself one of the strongest experts below the Prefecture's Kings?"
Even if she didn't touch Su Yu, she still had ways to search through his memories.
"Alright, pack up and rest for three days. I need you to do something," Mo Tianxuan said.
Unexpectedly, Su Yu stood on the same spot, with no intention of moving. "Give me another ten qualifications for the Glittering Jewel Wonderland."
Upon hearing this, Mo Tianxuan almost lost control of her temper and flew into a rage on the spot!
Even the Red Blood Palace only had forty places to enter the Glittering Jewel Wonderland.
Su Yu asked for ten of them in one go!
Each person could only use one. As for the other nine, was he going to stew them? Mo Tianxuan cursed inwardly.
On the surface, however, Mo Tianxuan frowned and asked, "Why is there a request?"
"What I gave you just now was only a guarantee that the Palace Master wouldn't make the same mistake a second time. This is compensation! Ten qualifications for the Glittering Jewel Wonderland, "Su Yu said resolutely.
Mo Tianxuan shook her head. "Not to mention ten, I can't even give you one. The Glittering Jewel Wonderland happens once every hundred years, and it's reserved for the students of the inner sanctum. It has always been a once-in-a-century opportunity for the great factions of the Blessed and Heavenly Lands. Missing even one chance could affect the faction's destiny and strength for half a year. As the Palace Master, I have no right to reward them at will.
She sounded very determined and unyielding, even if Su Yu didn't leave the dungeon.
Su Yu frowned secretly. It seemed that the Red Blood Palace attached great importance to the Glittering Jewel Wonderland.
After thinking for a moment, Su Yu said, "Alright, let's change the condition. I want to enter the depository of scriptures and exchange for some cultivation techniques."
Mo Tianxuan considered it for a moment, then nodded. "That's fine. You've made a great contribution to the Situ family, and you should be rewarded with five hundred thousand merit points. Now, as compensation, you'll be rewarded with another five hundred thousand merit points. In the depository of scriptures, you can even exchange for a top-notch legendary cultivation technique."
This was actually the compensation for refusing to give Su Yu the qualifications for the Glittering Jewel Wonderland.
Su Yu wanted to enter the inner sanctum to exchange for a special book, but he didn't know if it existed in the inner sanctum.
"Alright." Su Yu expressed his satisfaction. There were still two months before the Glittering Jewel Wonderland, so it wasn't impossible for him to succeed.
Mo Tianxuan asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Yes!" Su Yu said.
Mo Tianxuan's face finally fell, and she couldn't suppress the anger that was about to erupt.
But Su Yu said, "I hope that the faction can send back someone who is on a mission as soon as possible."
Upon hearing that, the anger on Mo Tianxuan's face faded, but she was slightly surprised. "Who? What mission?"
"Xuelian, on a mission to spy on the Heavenly Knife Region," Su Yu said.
"Her?" Mo Tianxuan had a strange look on her face. "Do you know Xuelian?"
"Sort of," Su Yu said, feeling a little surprised. Why did Mo Tianxuan sound like Xuelian was quite famous?
"If it's her, there's no need to do that," Mo Tianxuan said. "Xuelian is best at spying on intelligence, so there's no need to worry about her safety. If we summon her back now, it'll be dangerous for her to expose herself. After the Glittering Jewel Wonderland, she'll come back when her mission is over. You don't have to worry."
Is that so? Although Su Yu was uneasy, Mo Tianxuan's words made sense.
He could only hope that Xuelian would take good care of herself.
Su Yu hoped to repay her favor.
"You have no objections?" Mo Tianxuan was exasperated. She was looking for an opportunity to search Su Yu's soul and find out what was going on.
Before Su Yu could respond, Elder Jing snorted coldly. "How dare you raise objections? It's your duty to render meritorious service to the faction. If you use this as a threat and ask for excessive benefits, it's treason! "
If she hadn't spoken, Su Yu wouldn't have bothered to haggle over it. But she just had to pick on Su Yu.
"Palace Master, there's one more thing I need you to know." Su Yu took out a jade box from his chest. It was sealed, and the contents couldn't be opened from the outside.
Mo Tianxuan took the jade box suspiciously. She opened it and took a glance at it. Mo Tianxuan squinted her eyes and looked at Elder Jing. "Where did you get it from?"
"On the battlefield of the Situ family, in the hands of the enemy!" Su Yu said. "This is a scandal of the faction. I believe those who know about it haven't decided how to report it to the faction. Now that only a few of us are here, it's up to the Palace Master to decide how to deal with it."
Mo Tianxuan held the jade box in her hand and nodded slowly. Her eyes turned cold all of a sudden. "What do you think? If someone from the inner sanctum colludes with the enemy from the outside and harms the faction, what punishment should he receive?"
