Chapter 279: The Truth is the Sharpest Blade (Part 1)

"Young Master, they have already arrived at Risheng City." Old Chen's voice came from the shadows.

"No need to worry about them; they have their own sense of discretion."

There were some matters that did not require Su Yu to worry; after all, he was very clear about their capabilities.

"The Sun Moon Empire has been making some moves recently. Should we not give the Star Luo Empire and Shrek a little hint? After all, Young Master, you are currently..." Old Chen clearly had his concerns.

Su Yu spoke slowly: "Old Chen, I know your thoughts, but it is not easy for us to intervene in these matters. After all, our current situation is already in a state of detachment. However, I am quite curious to know what has happened recently."

Rumors had been flying across the Three Great Empires recently, claiming that the Three Great Empires and Shrek had torn up their agreements and launched a massive attack on the Sun Moon Empire, resulting in heavy casualties and the loss of Soul Guidance Devices for the Sun Moon Empire.

In a fit of rage, the Sun Moon Empire had executed hostages to warn the Three Great Empires, but Shrek and the Three Great Empires had not stopped and continued their offensive.

This news spread like wildfire within the Three Great Empires. The sects and academies of the Three Great Empires were all demanding explanations from their respective empires, yet the official authorities of the Three Great Empires all refused to acknowledge the matter.

Such things absolutely could not be admitted; after all, this operation was a private agreement between the Three Great Empires and Shrek.

If it were exposed, it would be a devastating blow to the reputation of the Three Great Empires.

Therefore, they would never admit it. Even if there was concrete evidence, they would only publicly claim that it was fake news fabricated by the Sun Moon Empire to incite internal chaos.

In fact, these tactics were easy to debunk, but if Shrek also stood with the Three Great Empires, then the words of the Sun Moon Empire would become untrustworthy.

In reality, the Sun Moon Empire had indeed provided footage, but it was denied by Shrek.

Shrek's reputation within the Three Great Empires was unparalleled; compared to believing an enemy, they were more willing to believe Shrek.

However, some things could not be hidden. The appearance of one lie required countless more to cover it up.

"It has been nearly a year. It is just unclear when the Sun Moon Empire intends to take their students back."

Su Yu organized the intelligence in his hands. Currently, the exchange students between the Three Great Empires and Shrek were all subject to certain restrictions. Shrek did not dare to gamble, and the Three Great Empires did not dare to gamble either.

Both sides were still restrained in this regard, because if the Three Great Empires and Shrek chose to take action against this batch of students at this time, the resulting outcome would be the opening of a great war.

Such a huge price was something neither side wanted to touch, so for now, the exchanged students were actually the safest.

"Then Young Master, what should we do now?" Old Chen asked calmly.

Su Yu tapped the table and spoke slowly, "Wait."

"Wait for what?"

Wait? What was there to wait for? Could it be that the Young Master still had a backup plan?

"Because I am waiting for another person to show their true colors. Old Chen, what you need to do now is to spare no cost to help me search for Inner Court students who have recently graduated from Shrek. I need their whereabouts."

"Wait, it would be best to check which new elites in the Three Great Empires have performed exceptionally well recently. If there are any, send their files to me."

People from Blue Star were never ordinary people, let alone an opponent lurking in the dark.

If he had been born in the Sun Moon Empire, I would only need a very short time to find you, because your growth would be destined to lead you to join Mingde Hall and the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy, not to mention that the current Luo Yu could be called the leading figure of the Sun Moon Empire's light.

Therefore, Su Yu focused his efforts on the Three Great Empires. More than a year had passed since the last time, and he only needed to check the graduates of recent years or prominent new elites, and he could naturally arrive at an answer through data statistics.

Of course, this was also just an expectation.

After all, since the other party knew of Luo Yu's existence, they would definitely try their best to hide.

"Then let me see whether you kill me first, or I find you first."

…………

Star Luo Empire, Luo Family.

"Father, I have already graduated from Shrek Academy. Please allow me to join the military."

At this moment, Luo Jing was discussing his future with the family.

"Put this matter aside for now. It is certain that you will enter the military with your abilities, and you are also an Inner Court student of Shrek. Your resume and abilities are absolutely fine. What our Luo Family needs to do now is to befriend the Su Family. As an Inner Court student, you must know Su Yu, right?" Luo Jing's father, Luo Lengyun, asked.

Luo Jing thought for a moment and replied: "I know him, but we have had very little interaction. After all, I am two grades above him. He is a prominent figure in the Inner Court, while I am just an ordinary Inner Court student."

Hearing his father's words, Luo Jing regretted his answer.

Although he had interacted with Su Yu in the Inner Court and even cooperated with the Shrek Seven Devils at times, he did not want to face Su Yu.

In his analysis, Su Yu's existence itself had many doubts. He could not see through every step Su Yu took. If it weren't for the system giving a definitive answer that Su Yu was a transmigrator, he would have suspected that Luo Yu was the transmigrator.

In front of such a mysterious transmigrator senior, Luo Jing really did not want to have too much interaction with Su Yu.

Because in his current state, if he were discovered by Su Yu, the probability of him surviving would be less than one percent.

Even though he had exchanged for a few life-saving items relying on the system's tasks and rewards, these things could save him for a moment, but not for a lifetime.

"Let's forget about this. Although we are family friends with the Su Family, my interaction with Su Yu is not deep. If I go rashly, it will instead leave a bad impression on Su Yu." Luo Jing rejected his father's proposal.

Are you kidding? If you want to go, you go; I'm not going!

"Alright, let's put this matter aside for now. However, what do you think about the Three Great Empires attacking the borders of the Sun Moon Empire this time?"

Luo Jing thought about it. In the original work, the plot at this time should be the node where the Three Great Empires sent personnel to rescue, and the Shrek Seven Devils failed while trying to show off.

"I don't know. Who knows if the Sun Moon Empire is just looking for an excuse to slaughter the elites of our Three Great Empires."

Luo Jing did not want to say anything that would spoil the plot. The best way to protect himself was to keep secrets strictly. Now was not the time to show his edge.

Star Luo Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, are you still having a headache over the rumors?" The Prime Minister asked, watching Xu Jiawei pacing back and forth.

Xu Jiawei sighed heavily and said: "You know, yet you still ask. Fortunately, Shrek also participated in this operation, but we really have no other way..."

"Your Majesty, I was actually against this operation." The Prime Minister looked at Xu Jiawei and spoke his true thoughts.

Xu Jiawei shook his head, "We have no way out."

The Prime Minister replied: "Your Majesty, it is not necessarily that there is no way out, it is just that what we sought was too much, which is why we ended up at this point."

"Why did the Sun Moon Empire give birth to such a monstrous talent like Luo Yu? Is Heaven going to destroy my Star Luo Empire?" Xu Jiawei had never felt such immense pressure.

When he ascended the throne in the past, although it was full of difficulties, he had finally secured his position by relying on the power of the Star Crown Sect. Who would have thought that decades later, the pressure would come from a teenager in the Sun Moon Empire.

The Prime Minister spoke slowly: "The Three Great Empires are not necessarily without them, it is just..."

"Just what..."

"Never mind, it's nothing..."

Xu Jiawei: "............"
