"Nonsense, it's not!"
Su Xiyan protested. She had always thought her disguise was impeccable. It must have been Chen Shuo's vampire aura that gave them away, causing Su Yuanying to notice.
"I was right next to you, and you didn't sense my presence. How could you sense it from so far away? It definitely wasn't my fault; it must have been your footsteps."
Chen Shuo was equally unwilling to back down. He had confidence in his ability to hide his aura, especially since the system had recovered, he had never failed.
"No way, it was you..."
"Not me..."
"Alright, you two, stop bickering. What's with the sneaking around?"
Su Yuanying watched the two of them bicker like children and couldn't help but shake his head and ask.
"Well, I don't really have anything to say. It's mainly Chen Shuo who has something to tell you."
Su Xiyan pointed at Chen Shuo. Initially, Chen Shuo had planned to directly inform Su Yuanying about last night's events.
Su Xiyan, upon learning this, insisted on coming along, wanting to test her father's vigilance when he was drunk.
The result was clear: even after drinking heavily, as a top-tier monster hunter, Su Yuanying's perceptiveness was still remarkably sharp.
"Son-in-law, what do you need from me? Are you here to discuss the engagement party? If that's the case, I think it's better to do it sooner rather than later. If you're okay with it, I can start arranging it right now."
Under the influence of alcohol, Su Yuanying was very straightforward, immediately wanting to set a date for the engagement party.
Su Yuanying's words left the two of them in a cold sweat. What a saying, "better sooner than later."
Su Xiyan was also quite upset by Su Yuanying's attitude. To an outsider, it would seem as if she, as a daughter, couldn't find a husband.
"Dad, can you stop talking about this? It's serious." Su Xiyan pouted.
Chen Shuo also nodded seriously. Seeing both of them looking solemn, Su Yuanying finally took it seriously: "I guess I misunderstood. What's the matter?"
"The thing is..."
Chen Shuo then recounted everything that happened last night. Su Yuanying was somewhat shocked upon hearing it.
"What? Such a thing happened? Right under the Monster Hunters' Guild? That can't be. I thoroughly searched the area when I returned to Su City after hearing about the Demon King's appearance."
Su Yuanying was puzzled. Upon his return to Su City after hearing about the Demon King, the first thing he did was use his abilities to search for the source of the vampires.
Even the Monster Hunters' Guild was not spared. After several incidents, he traced the source and found it close to the guild.
Because of this, he conducted a strict search within a kilometer of the guild.
Yet, he found nothing. Thus, Su Yuanying concluded that the incidents near the guild were a deliberate attempt to divert their attention.
Now, with Chen Shuo revealing this information again, he found it hard to accept.
"Absolutely true, Father. Chen Shuo and I went there yesterday. It's been there for a long time, right under our Monster Hunters' Guild."
Su Xiyan chimed in, and under her words, Su Yuanying finally believed it.
After all, what reason would the two of them have to deceive an old man like him?
Now that it had been discovered, the immediate task was to resolve it.
"Alright, let's go check it out now."
"Now? Dad, maybe we should wait until you're sober?"
Seeing Su Yuanying in his drunken state, Su Xiyan was a bit worried. She had been inside and knew that even without vampires, the environment was unbearable for a normal person.
"What are you talking about? Do I look drunk? It's just an appearance. No one can make me drunk if I don't want to be."
Su Yuanying chuckled, shaking his body as if releasing a burst of energy.
In the next moment, the drunken Su Yuanying transformed, becoming alert and his complexion normal.
Not only that, but the alcohol smell on him also disappeared.
"How did you do that?" Su Xiyan was astonished.
"Learn well, don't think your rapid progress in strength makes you superior. Some things require long-term exploration."
Su Yuanying smiled proudly. This was his secret technique, not practical in battle but very useful in business and social interactions.
It allowed him to drink with friends without disrupting his work schedule.
"Alright, alright, old ginger is still hot, right? Since that's the case, let's get going?"
Seeing her father was fine, Su Xiyan wanted to leave promptly.
Chen Shuo thought the same, wanting to avoid any further complications and uncover the secrets of the stone coffin as soon as possible.
The three of them set off, with Chen Shuo driving. The nearly one-hour journey was shortened to half an hour by Chen Shuo's superb driving skills.
Arriving near the Monster Hunters' Guild, Su Yuanying was still somewhat unwilling to accept the situation. He once again used his spiritual power to probe the surroundings, but the results were the same as before.
"How did they manage this?"
Su Yuanying murmured, still unable to believe it.
"You'll understand when you go inside."
Chen Shuo didn't elaborate much, and even about Sang Biao, he only mentioned it briefly.
"Alright, let's hurry."
Su Yuanying said, asking Chen Shuo to lead the way.
As Chen Shuo guided Su Yuanying to the fire hydrant, Su Yuanying suddenly stopped, looking around with a serious expression: "Wait, there's something wrong."
Su Yuanying's words put Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan on high alert.
Especially Chen Shuo, who not only went on the defensive but also activated his system for assistance.
After a thorough search, Chen Shuo didn't find any danger as Su Yuanying had mentioned.
"Uncle Su, it doesn't seem like there's anything unusual?"
Chen Shuo frowned, not questioning Su Yuanying but knowing his system wouldn't miss anything.
That meant if Su Yuanying could sense it, he could too. Even if the system malfunctioned, his Demon Saint strength would detect any danger.
But...
"Come out, stop hiding. I never expected that after eliminating one Demon King, there would still be another."
As Su Yuanying spoke, his aura suddenly surged. This was the first and only time Chen Shuo and others saw Su Yuanying truly serious.
