Chapter 202: Still No News from Chen Su?
Chapter 202: Still No News from Chen Su?
Compared to Autumn Frost's formidable strength, Jin Yue seemed more concerned about her appearance.
Upon hearing Jin Yue's words, Su Chen was also surprised.
Senior Qiu had actually taken the initiative to seek him out.
Seeing Su Chen's seemingly delighted expression, Jin Yue felt even more sullen.
"Brother Su, you must be feeling regretful now.
If you knew she would come looking for you, you would probably have declined the opportunity given by the Great Elder."
Even the most reserved person could detect the sourness in Jin Yue's words.
Looking up at Jin Yue, her face clearly displayed the words 'sulking'.
Su Chen didn't know how to explain, and remained silent.
In this moment of hesitation, Jin Yue seemed to realize as well.
At this moment, the relationship between the two was merely that of senior and junior disciples.
She had no right to interfere with Su Chen's affairs, and Su Chen had no obligation to respond to her.
In the silence, the sulking expression gradually turned into one of disappointment.
"Junior Sister, I wonder what Senior Qiu came to see me for?"
Hearing Su Chen speak, Jin Yue, who had calmed down slightly, no longer spoke with the same tone as before.
"She had some business passing through Tiangang City and wanted to see you.
She also gave me a bottle of Jade Bamboo Pills for you to take during your meditation.
The pills are with Mr. Ouyang, and since Jade Bamboo Pills need to be stored in a cool and dry place, they are kept in Mr. Ouyang's storage room."
Su Chen nodded, indicating that he understood.
On Jin Yue's side, she had thought of many things to say.
But at this moment, she felt that she had no right to say many of those words.
Su Chen had a handsome appearance and his current strength was also impressive.
He was highly regarded in Tiangang City.
Not only did Hall Master Ouyang value him, but even the sect elders had high hopes for him.
Su Chen had many options for a partner and didn't need to consider her, Jin Yue.
Although Jin Yue had the powerful Jin family backing her, getting close to her would undoubtedly bring immense pressure from the Jin family.
Perhaps, Su Chen wasn't willing to accept this.
"How was your trip, Brother Su?"
Jin Yue adjusted her tone and asked softly.
Hearing this, Su Chen pretended that the previous events hadn't happened and smiled in response.
"Overall, it went smoothly, and I gained quite a bit.
Additionally, I have a few pills here.
These pills are a bit strange, and I'm not sure if there's an issue with their refinement or something else.
When I received them, I thought of you, Junior Sister Jin, who comes from a pill refining family, and must have some expertise in this area."
As he spoke, Su Chen took out the three pills he had refined and handed them to Jin Yue.
Jin Yue's gaze didn't immediately fall on the pills.
When she heard that Su Chen had obtained the pills, she couldn't help but glance at him, thinking of herself.
After snapping out of her thoughts, her gaze returned to the pills.
The colors of the three pills were peculiar, vastly different from ordinary pills.
At first glance, they resembled low-quality jade.
But upon closer inspection, a faint medicinal fragrance could be detected, confirming that they were indeed pills.
"These three seem to be Qi-Supplement Pills?"
Jin Yue seemed to have also identified them through their scent, and as a descendant of a pill refining family, she naturally had some skills.
"They should be, but the differences in the pills' appearances are too significant, and I'm unsure if there's an issue with them.
Junior Sister Jin, with your family's profound knowledge, might be able to discern something."
"I've never seen a pill like this before. If Senior Brother Su doesn't mind, may I take it back for a closer inspection?"
"That was my intention. Sister Jin Yue, you can take it back, grind it, and examine it."
As they spoke, Ouyang Chuan returned and discreetly observed them from behind the screen. He noticed that the atmosphere between them was not as he had imagined; instead, they seemed to be keeping a greater distance from each other. Ouyang Chuan had actually hoped they would grow closer.
Su Chen's exceptional performance had increased the possibility of a relationship between them. However, today, Su Chen seemed to be intentionally maintaining his distance.
Ouyang Chuan, having returned, spoke to ease the tension. He took out the bottle of Jade Bamboo Pill and handed it to Su Chen.
As Ouyang Chuan and Su Chen began discussing cultivation and training matters, Jin Yue found an excuse and left early.
Watching her leave, Ouyang Chuan glanced at Su Chen and sighed.
Ouyang Chuan found it difficult to bring up the subject. Previously, he had advised Su Chen not to get too close to Jin Yue.
Su Chen had shown potential, but Ouyang Chuan's actions seemed to push him towards Jin Yue.
Inside the room, Ouyang Chuan and Su Chen discussed the gathering in the capital. He knew that Elder Su Chen had been informed about the gathering by the Grand Elder.
It was already late October, and winter was approaching. After winter, Su Chen would be attending the gathering in the capital.
Aware of Su Chen's limited knowledge about the event, Ouyang Chuan shared all the details he knew.
At Yunyang Sect, the frontlines had been stable for over two months, but minor issues persisted without respite.
The five elders could sense that their sect leader, Grandmaster Taiwu, intended to delegate many matters. He no longer wanted to micromanage every detail and preferred to trust others with responsibilities.
However, the current situation at the frontline prevented Grandmaster Taiwu from doing so.
In a courtyard, the five elders were discussing the current state of affairs. In two hours, they were to report to their sect leader about the sect's situation, so they wanted to consult beforehand.
After some deliberation, the elders couldn't help but vent their frustrations.
"We thought that after dealing with the crazed demons, everything would return to normal. But why do these beasts continue to plague us?"
The elders all felt exhausted, not just physically but also mentally.
Reflecting on the past two years, they recalled how the sect's frontlines hadn't faced such pressure.
Back then, they had normal arrangements with occasional purification expeditions.
But this year, after resolving the major issues at the frontlines, peace eluded them once again.
If they sought help from other sects, Yunyang Sect would lose face. Of course, the situation at the frontline was still manageable, unlike the previous nighttime rampages.
However, they had to address it; otherwise, the harassment could escalate into full-scale assaults, which would be a significant problem.
After venting their frustrations, the elders proceeded together to the side hall.
Grandmaster Taiwu was already seated at the high position in the side hall.
In front of him were four hall masters who were to be stationed at the frontlines, summoned for this meeting.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Grandmaster Taiwu began discussing official matters.
Everyone expected him to start with the frontline situation, but his first words were completely unexpected.
"I asked you to send disciples to inquire about Chen Su, but there's still no news?"
His first words were an inquiry about Chen Su, not the frontline situation as they had anticipated.
Chen Su's matter was given priority over the frontline issues.
And, please wait a moment~
