Chapter 174: Is the Prodigy worthy of being called a Prodigy? In the side hall, only Master Taiwu and three elders were present situation is not that tense now, unless it is something particularly urgent. As the sect leader, Master Taiwu has not been so strict during this period. But compared to the previous two years, Master Taiwu has to take care of many things himself. The crisis that the Yunyang Sect encountered this time also made him alert. The position of clan leader is never easy. If you feel relaxed, it means that the sect is going to have big problems. "The disciples who were sent to the Flying Eagle Sect have returned, and they provided the news. It is said that Chen Su is not a disciple of their Flying Eagle Sect, but a wandering knight of the Great Zhou. If we are looking for Chen Su, we have come to the wrong place." In the side hall, Taoist Taiwu was talking about the latest news.
Although they hit a wall, the senior leaders of Yunyang Sect did not seem to be too discouraged. Sun Xuerong, who was standing next to her, also chuckled when she heard this. “The Flying Eagle Sect must have made up some lies for us. How could such an outstanding disciple be snatched away by us so easily? What he said means he doesn't want us to contact Chen Su. You can try to ask other disciples of the Flying Eagle Sect and get some information from them." Upon hearing this, Master Taiwu nodded. “The disciples sent out have already gone to talk to those disciples of the Flying Eagle Sect. But these disciples said the same thing, they all said Chen Su was a ranger from outside. He is not a disciple of their Flying Eagle Sect." Hearing these words, the faces of several elders around became slightly serious. “It seems that the people from the Flying Eagle Sect have some foresight. This behavior clearly shows that they guessed that we wanted to contact Chen Su. If we are not allowed to see Chen Su, it will be impossible for us to bring him to Yunyang Sect." Several people frowned slightly. Now it seems that this plan to poach people is really difficult to implement. After a moment's silence, Master Taiwu no longer dwelled on it. "We'll talk about Chen Su later. It's not easy to hide such a dazzling and eye-catching disciple. By the way, Xingwan went out on a spy mission and I heard that he has returned. Why didn't anyone report the results of the investigation to me?"
Hearing Master Taiwu's question, Sun Xuerong showed some hesitation. “This kid is still not very familiar with spying missions. This trip to the wilderness did not yield enough valuable information. So I didn't bother the Sect Master. I'm already looking for a new candidate." Hearing this, Master Taiwu did not scold. "Forget it, it's good enough that Xingwan has this kind heart. She still needs to spend more time on her own cultivation, and these trivial matters can be arranged for other people in the future." After saying this, Master Taiwu looked at the elders again. “Now that the sect’s front line has almost stabilized, it’s time to deal with some of the previous problems. Especially the issue of our Yunyang Sect’s reputation. After we encountered difficulties on the front line, many people in the Great Zhou said that our Yunyang Sect lacked insight. If you can't see the talent clearly, you can't distinguish the truth. He has been making a fuss about the disciple who was driven away. Behind the scenes, there must be the support of Tiangang City. In this case, let's start with Su Chen and let the people of Da Zhou see if he is as capable as Tiangang City says." Sun Xuerong was the one who most supported what Master Taiwu said. Since the beginning of spring this year, she has been questioned by many people. This decision made by Master Taiwu will prove that her original judgment was correct. "Regarding this Su Chen, the praise that Tiangang City has for him is false to anyone with a discerning eye. Not only is he extremely capable in dealing with monsters, but he is also the best in his generation in martial arts practice. After a while, perhaps Tiangang City will say that he is better than Tianjiao." The great elder at the side spoke up and told the news he had learned. When several elders of the Yunyang Sect heard this, they couldn't help but laugh. "If anyone can be compared to a genius, does that genius still deserve to be called a genius? Several mediocre people were invited to attend the Nanhu Conference in the past, and their abilities were praised at the conference. From that time on, the Nanhu Conference was disliked by the younger generation of the Great Zhou. If this Su Chen is worthy of being called a genius, then the top disciples in the future will probably dislike the title of genius." After hearing what Sun Xuerong said, Taiwu Zhenren and others nodded in agreement. Nowadays, who among the true geniuses would attend the Nanhu Conference?
Those who go there are all people who seek fame and reputation. "Since Tiangang City is praising Su Chen so much, let's wait until winter comes and see if there is a chance to meet him at some gathering. It is difficult for us to verify the ability to deal with monsters, but it is not difficult to verify the martial arts strength. When the time comes, arrange for a disciple from the sect to go and fight him. Look at how big the lie compiled by Tiangang City is. Let's also show the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty how Tiangang City slandered us." The other elders did not object to Master Taiwu's arrangement. But they still have many concerns. "Tiangang City should know how capable Su Chen is. Even if there is such a competition, I am afraid Su Chen will not be allowed to participate." Taoist Taiwu frowned and thought for a moment. "That's true. No matter how stupid Tiangang City is, they will definitely not go there again if they know they will be embarrassed. In that case, let our Yunyang Sect plan a competition this year. With so many sects supporting us this year, let’s consider it as a thank-you ceremony prepared by our Yunyang Sect. Take out some treasures as rewards. When inviting people to Tiangang City, Su Chen was specifically mentioned as being invited to join. If he still doesn't come, we will take this opportunity to spread the word. Tiangang City is using this to destroy our reputation, so why can't we do the same?" In the side hall, several high-ranking officials of the Yunyang Sect were discussing. After the crisis on the front line was resolved, these sect elders did have some free time. During the conversation, some trivial things came up. But Master Taiwu still has some concerns about things on the front line. “Third Elder, Fifth Elder. Our frontier defenses are now stabilized for the time being, but the sect’s detection capabilities are still a flaw. We, the Yunyang Sect, cannot be trapped here forever; the front line of defense will always move forward. It definitely requires disciples who have strength and ability in these areas. In addition, the sect now wants several disciples to carry out espionage missions, but cannot find suitable candidates. If we don’t invest resources in training, this will still be a huge shortcoming of our Yunyang Sect.”
Hearing this, the third elder and Sun Xuerong both nodded. After experiencing this predicament on the front line, everyone should have learned a lesson. In the eyes of everyone, the exploration mission is no longer considered easy. This time, the treatment for the exploratory disciples will be much more generous than before. In fact, let alone the future, even though there are various obstacles and traps now, if we want to deal with the monsters properly, we still need to have exploration disciples. After all, the defense line is so long, if you want to deal with it properly, you have to kill each monster one by one. Providing accurate investigation information is still an essential part. 感谢金主【书友20221222235001383】、【书友20220704150241621】、【一诗一酒一倾城】、【书友20240514195153898】、【书友20230823164358210】、【书友20220611201430841】、【翔佑織雲】的打赏~ I wish all the sponsors a healthy life, everything goes well, and everything goes well~
