Chapter 21: Luring The Snake Out Of The Cave (4)

Su Yu didn’t feel regretful. Seeing that Teacher Liu didn’t know about it, he was about to leave. But when Liu Wenyan saw that Su Yu was leaving, he pondered a little and asked, “Your father has gone to the Allskies Battlefield, so are you alone at home?”

“Mn.”

“In that case, be more careful at home…”

Su Yu turned his head. Had the situation already worsened to this degree?

“There are guards on the street and in the academies. In the homes of most people, there are also experts at the Thousand Pound Realm. So, there’s no need to worry too much about their safety. But since you are alone…things will be more dangerous for you.”

Liu Wenyan hesitated but soon continued, “Actually…I don’t really agree…”

“Teacher Liu!”

The sound of clanging rang outside the door.

Liu Wenyan’s countenance didn’t change as he continued, “His father is an old soldier of the devil suppression army. Could it be that even he is unworthy of trust?”

“There are all sorts of possibilities. Su Long has already left the army for a whole 18 years!”

“In that case, you guys best arrange people to protect him, or I cannot be at ease.”

“Currently, there’s no way to mobilize our forces to protect people individually!”

Liu Wenyan frowned. “I have no way to question you guys since the Longwu Guards are carrying out a military order. But…I feel that Su Yu has no problems. Naturally, if you are worried, Su Yu can spend the next few days with me. If not, if we allow him to go home, that will be us being irresponsible toward him.”

......

“…”

The person outside hesitated a little, but it seemed like he had made a decision.

As for Su Yu, he was at a loss. What did this mean?

Naturally, he didn’t interrupt them.

Was that person outside someone from the Longwu Guards?

But when Su Yu came here, he didn’t see anyone outside.

“Fine!”

An instant later, a voice rang out from outside. After that, there was only silence.

Liu Wenyan looked at the silent Su Yu as he smiled. “The people from the All-Races Sect have concealed themselves a bit too deeply. We are suspecting that the recent chaos is actually for another purpose. So…we cannot wait passively. We can only seize the initiative to attack!

“But we cannot be sure if the academy or the city guards have been infiltrated. So…we need an opportunity.”

“Opportunity?”

Su Yu seemed to be on the verge of understanding, yet it still wasn’t that clear to him.

“Correct, an opportunity!

“Nanyuan is just a minor city. There isn’t anything important here, and the value isn’t high. If one wants to talk about value, the most valuable thing here will undoubtedly be the Nanyuan Mid-grade Academy! Or maybe, the city lord’s residence. However, there are city guards stationed in the city lord’s residence, and that place is much safer than here.

“We cannot be sure if the other party has entered Nanyuan, but just to prepare for the unexpected and change passive into active, we decided to use bait to lure the snake out from the cave.

“You guys…can be considered bait, but not bait at the same time.”

Liu Wenyan sighed. “If the All-Races Sect is in Nanyuan and has a secret plot, once the news of sending you guys away spreads, they will definitely make their choice according to a few options.

“Firstly, act in advance to kill you guys.

“Secondly, act while you guys are on the way there. But at that time, the city guards will be present, and to kill city guards, they have to mobilize a large number of people. Also, when you guys are halfway there, the Great Xia Prefecture Army will surely go over and receive you all.

“Thirdly, let you all leave in peace with a portion of city guards to weaken Nanyuan’s strength before they act.

“Fourthly, giving up on Nanyuan. Because after you guys depart, we will be able to become more focused and have excess strength to guard more places. It’s very difficult for them to gain a chance to act then.”

Su Yu frowned. He then pondered and asked, “So, teacher, do you mean that if their goal is really us, they might choose to act in advance?”

“That’s right, they will leap out from their hiding spots.”

“But if their target isn’t us…”

“You guys will be able to leave Nanyuan smoothly. The Great Xia Prefecture is indeed safer, and one or two months later, the Longwu Guards will be able to exterminate them.”

Liu Wenyan then said seriously, “So, you guys can be considered a bait to lure the snake out of the cave, but not many people know of this. This is because…we cannot be certain if they have ‘eyes’ in the surroundings or not.”

“Will things be very dangerous for us?”

“Not for the majority of people, but things are hard to say for you because you are home alone.”

Liu Wenyan continued, “This is why I told you. I don’t want you to be unprepared and get killed. In the next two days, you can just stick around me. If nothing happens three days later, the guards will send you guys away.”

Su Yu contemplated but didn’t say anything.

Nanyuan City’s intention was to prepare for the unexpected. After sending them away in advance, it would be for the best if nothing happened. But if something did happen, they would be able to seize the initiative.

As for danger…having a plan was safer than having no plan.

If the All-Races Sect really had them as their target, with the current arrangements here in Nanyuan, they would actually be safer in comparison.

Su Yu could understand this. He then smiled and said, “Teacher, please rest at ease. I understand. However, is the infiltration by the All-Races Sect really that impressive?”

“Yes!”

Liu Wenyan sighed. “If not, why would they be called rats in the gutters? They are too good at hiding. It’s best that nothing happens to Nanyuan. But if it does, we can only do our best to be fully prepared.

“During these two days, you should stay at my residence. As for the reason, just say that you are learning a new all-races language from me.”

“Sure!” Su Yu didn’t mind where he went. However, he was somewhat curious. “Teacher, didn’t you grasp the power of will? Can’t you differentiate normal people from the All-Races Sect who are concealing themselves?”

Liu Wenyan smiled but didn’t answer, putting on a mysterious and profound attitude.

(Why don’t you take a guess?)

(I can still do so for newbies like you and your peers. But for adults, who among them wouldn’t have complicated thoughts? Who would reveal their intentions so clearly? This is especially so for those people from the All-Races Sect. Who among them wouldn’t fear death? Those who don’t fear death have probably died long ago.)
