Chapter 205: Changes in the Attitudes of Hometown PeopleOn the seventh day of the winter month, Su Chen received a message from his servant, asking him to go to a side hall. At this moment, there were already quite a few people in the side hall. The elders and several hall masters were waiting in the side hall. There was also the talented disciple Gu Feng who had caused some unhappiness when he entered the sect. Behind him stood Gu Wei and Gu Yu. In addition to them, there are two direct disciples. They are all disciples who will go to the capital together to attend the gathering, but they do not have official qualifications. Seeing Su Chen, Gu Feng frowned slightly, but didn't say much. Taoist Shang Xuan, who was sitting in the upper seat in the side hall, gave the first speech, and then asked the four elders to talk about some specific responses. After listening to what the fourth elders said, Su Chen roughly understood the significance of this gathering in the capital.
The foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty lies in the balance of many sects. If one or two sects have conflicts with the royal family of the dynasty, the royal family may be able to suppress them. But what if four or five sects are dissatisfied with the royal family of the Great Zhou? Many times, the ruler is the allocator who carries out the assigned tasks. How to distribute so that all the sects are convinced is the ability and strength of the ruler. A gathering was held in the capital, and a group of young talents were invited to attend. I just want to see what kind of temperament the future leaders of each sect will have. At the same time, it also allows the younger generation of the royal family to communicate more with the various sects. In addition to the royal family's understanding of the younger generation of each sect. It also allows the geniuses from each sect to get to know each other. Those who go to the gathering will basically become the backbone of their respective sects in the future and will be the ones with decision-making power in the sect. If you are familiar with each other, any conflicts in the future will not become unresolved. The Great Zhou royal family also did not want infighting among the sects within the dynasty. After all, everyone is still facing the powerful external enemy of monsters. The fourth elder standing in the upper position explained the general situation and precautions, and then looked towards Gu Feng. “Gu Feng, you’ve been to this type of gathering more than once or twice. This time, you must take care of the disciples who are traveling with you. Especially Su Chen, he has a grudge against the Yunyang Sect, so he is likely to cause trouble from that side. We are all from the same school, and you are my senior brother." Before the Fourth Elder could speak, Gu Feng in front of him couldn't help but take over.
“If someone uses him to humiliate Tiangang City, I will know how to deal with it. But they are just some personal grudges and there is nothing we can do about it. Besides, the elders think that he has the ability to obtain the official qualification, so he should be able to handle it himself." In front of everyone, Gu Feng's words showed his attitude. "Gu Feng, what's wrong with this child?" The fourth elder seemed to want to give a lecture, but Master Shangxuan waved his hand and told him not to say anything more. “As a genius, I really have to rely on myself for many things. What kind of genius is the genius that came to help? Su Chen, when the time comes in the capital, you will be able to adapt to the situation on your own." Hearing what Master Shangxuan said, Su Chen took a few steps forward and saluted Master Shangxuan. "Don't worry, Great Elder. If I encounter any difficulties, I am confident that I can solve them on my own." Master Shangxuan nodded. He actually felt relieved about Su Chen. When dealing with monsters, he acts decisively and the solutions he comes up with are effective. All of this shows that Su Chen is quick-witted. Master Shangxuan didn't believe that Su Chen would suddenly become stupid after arriving in the capital. "It would be best if you can solve it yourself, and don't let Tiangang City be humiliated as well." Hearing Gu Feng's words, the fourth elder on the side seemed to want to scold him again. Elder Shangxuan still waved his hand. Such accusations would only make Gu Feng more disgusted with Su Chen. "We'll set off at 9:00 . tomorrow. Let's set off a little earlier this time. Time is tight and it's not good to rush." Master Shang Xuan arranged the departure time. Upon hearing this, Gu Feng came out again to talk about his situation. "Great Elder, we have some things to do, so Gu Wei and Gu Yu and I will go our separate ways. We will go to the capital to meet up later." Hearing Gu Feng's words, Su Chen also took a step forward. "Great Elder, I haven't been home for a long time. This time I am going to the capital, and I want to take a detour and go back home to visit my relatives. Please allow me to go to the capital alone." There is nothing wrong with what Su Chen said. It is normal to go home to visit relatives after being away from home for a long time.
"Then you have to pay attention to the time. Many people are staring at you at this gathering in Beijing. Be careful in everything." Hearing the answer from the great elder, Su Chen nodded. But Gu Feng, who was standing aside, began to change his tone at this moment. "Great Elder, I just thought about it, and it seems that those things are not particularly urgent. The three of us should follow the sect and go to the capital." It hasn't been long since he started to change his tune. Those present were all middle and senior executives of Tiangang City, and no one could fail to see what he meant. Gu Feng was making it clear that he didn't want to go to the capital with Su Chen. It also shows his opinion of Su Chen. Su Chen's expression did not change towards Gu Feng's attitude. My own strength level has gradually improved, and I feel more confident than at the beginning. It doesn't matter whether he thinks highly of himself or looks down upon himself. The fourth elder seemed to want to stand up for Su Chen again. But before he could open his mouth, Su Chen took his leave and left the side hall. Returning to his own courtyard, Su Chen quickly packed his luggage. Then he went to talk to Mr. Ouyang and set off ahead of others. There are still seven days before the gathering in the capital. After returning to Jiang'an City, I can rest at home for two days. After noon, Su Chen set out on his journey. Before leaving, I bought some special snacks in Tiangang City. My little sister has a greedy taste, so she will probably like these snacks. After traveling day and night and feeling a little tired, he would come across a post station and hire a coachman to take him on his journey. In less than two days, Su Chen arrived in Jiang'an City. Winter is coming soon and the autumn harvest is over. Nowadays, most of the farm work done by ordinary people is collecting firewood. Prepare more firewood at home to cope with the severe cold in winter. After the Jin family opened a pharmacy here, Jiang'an City became noticeably more prosperous. Many warriors came here to buy medicine. The warriors were rich and spent lavishly in Jiang'an City.
As various consumption items increase, the things that ordinary people need to buy in restaurants and the like in the city also increase. With his income increasing, Su Chen seemed to smile more when looking at the people of Jiang'an City. On the way, Su Chen met Uncle Chen, Uncle Zhang, and Aunt Six. When I came back before, they both had cold faces. They just pretended not to hear my greetings. But today, the three of them actually took the initiative to greet Su Chen. Although the tone of his voice was awkward, at least it was no longer as cold and disgusted as before. All the way back home. The backyard of my house seemed to have been widened a bit, and it looked more like a mansion. At the gate of the courtyard, the guard saw Su Chen and this time he went straight forward to greet him. "Madam, Second Miss, the young master is back~" After shouting towards the courtyard, A Niang and Xiao Mei quickly walked out of the courtyard. When the little sister saw Su Chen, she rushed over to him directly. The smile on his face was overflowing. Also, still in the process~ But I’ve been feeling a bit underpowered lately, so I might need to adjust my schedule.
