Chapter 245: A Three-Pronged Strategy
Chapter 245: A Three-Pronged Strategy
Within the lateral hall, everyone fell silent upon hearing the Sect Leader's words.
In a short time, the solutions they could think of were limited.
To attract a disciple, the cultivation resources, and the sect's level of importance were all considered the most effective conditions.
Moreover, these were the conditions offered by Yunyang Sect.
Grandmaster Taiwu had tried these methods to attract Chen Su, but to no avail.
It was even less likely for others to use these conditions to bring Chen Su to Yunyang Sect.
Their authority was insufficient, and the promises they could make were even fewer.
"Think about it and see if there are any other ways.
This child, in my opinion, is indeed excellent, not only in his ability to deal with demons.
His talent in martial cultivation is also quite good, and he can at least become our Yunyang Sect's direct disciple."
Grandmaster Taiwu was now somewhat troubled.
This time, when inviting Chen Su, he had only mentioned it once.
But Su Chen directly responded with silence, not wanting to continue the discussion on this matter.
"Sect Leader, this year, because of Su Chen, our Yunyang Sect's reputation has been severely damaged.
Chen Su is capable, and being in the Eagleeye Sect, he is surely receiving exceptional treatment.
Moreover, with the close relationship between the Eagleeye Sect and Tiangang City, the impact is likely even greater.
He must have some concerns.
Even if we make promises and offer him resources, he won't be at ease.
Furthermore, the Fifth Elder went to the Eagleeye Sect to retrieve the Heavenly Blossom Fruit, and the news has returned.
Chen Su might have already heard about it."
Speaking was the Hall Master of Yunyang Sect, who also collected some of the news circulating in Great Zhou.
Upon hearing these words, Grandmaster Taiwu realized the situation.
Sun Xuerong hasn't returned yet, but the news of her demanding the Heavenly Blossom Fruit from the Eagleeye Sect has come back.
Judging from the timing, Sun Xuerong must have stayed in the Eagleeye Sect for a few days, forcing them to return the fruit.
Hearing this news, Chen Su might have even more doubts about Yunyang Sect's promises.
Thinking of this, Grandmaster Taiwu couldn't help but sigh.
Under these circumstances, it's not even possible to ask Chen Su to come to Yunyang Sect.
Hearing all this, it's already excellent that he's willing to help Yunyang Sect.
Zhao Li, who had been silent beside him, thought for a moment and then stepped forward.
"Sect Leader, I've thought of a way.
Sometimes, when we elders give advice, the younger generation may not listen.
We can arrange for fellow disciples to talk to him, for example, let Xing Wan go and get to know him.
First, it will allow him to see the importance we place on our top disciples in Yunyang Sect and that we won't be deceived by external news.
Secondly, Xing Wan is naturally beautiful, and young men can't help but take a few more glances.
If Xing Wan praises him a few times and advises him with kind words, perhaps everything will fall into place naturally."
Hearing this, Grandmaster Taiwu couldn't help but frown.
"Your idea sounds like a beauty trap."
"It's not wrong to call it a beauty trap, but we're not using beauty as a lure.
The essence of a beauty trap is not in seduction.
Through Xing Wan, we can show him the depth of our Yunyang Sect.
Of course, we can also try to set a goal for him, making him want to get closer to Xing Wan."
Hall Master Zhao Li's words seemed to gain some approval from the other Hall Masters.
"Chen Su is extremely skilled in dealing with demons. Letting Xing Wan get to know him will also allow her to learn the intricacies of his abilities.
This way, it's a two-birds-with-one-stone approach."
It seemed like a pretty good strategy.
In the view of Grandmaster Taiwu, this idea seemed rather inappropriate.
The esteemed Yunyang Sect, the foremost sect of Great Zhou, resorting to such tactics to acquire a young disciple seemed beneath them.
"If word of our methods reaches the citizens of Great Zhou, I fear the backlash and the disparaging remarks that will follow."
Grandmaster Taiwu couldn't help but feel embarrassed. In his mind, the Yunyang Sect's actions were demeaning.
Upon hearing this, Hall Master Xia Kun stepped forward, seemingly understanding the underlying intention. He continued to explain, "Sect Leader, we employ these means to recruit this disciple, not to harm them. Even if others find out and the news spreads, what of it? Even if the citizens of Great Zhou learn of this, it will show that the Yunyang Sect values and seeks out exceptional young talents. Those we dismiss are those without ability, those with only a false reputation. Take Su Chen, for example, who slanders us. By doing this, we also send a message to the young generation of Great Zhou that talented and promising disciples will be valued and nurtured in the Yunyang Sect. It's not like the rumors outside, where a genius disciple is driven away."
Upon hearing this, those present seemed to find it somewhat reasonable. This arrangement seemed to be a multi-faceted strategy. Even if there were some flaws, they couldn't foresee any significant negative consequences.
As he contemplated, Grandmaster Taiwu nodded in agreement. Looking around at the crowd, he felt that the Hall Masters' suggestions were far more useful than those of the Elders.
He began to reconsider his own thoughts. In the future, if there were matters to discuss, seeking advice from the Sect's Hall Masters might prove more beneficial.
After the conversation, Grandmaster Taiwu assigned Zhao Li to handle the matter and speak with Liu Xingwan. Among the young talents of Great Zhou, many admired Liu Xingwan.
Liu Xingwan's talent was exceptional, and she was also beautiful. With just a single sword move, she could captivate many.
Zhao Li discussed the matter with Liu Xingwan, suggesting that she get to know "Chen Su" and learn some demon-countering techniques from him. Of course, it would be best to speak highly of him and leave a good impression of the Yunyang Sect.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xingwan understood that her sect wanted to recruit "Chen Su." If it truly benefited her sect, she was willing to help recruit him. Compared to Fu Jianyun, Liu Xingwan was much more obedient. Learning demon-countering techniques didn't bother her.
Born into this era, martial arts were essential for survival. To protect the people and face the demon threat, these skills were indispensable.
Liu Xingwan had, of course, heard of "Chen Su." Recently, she learned that he was all talk and no action, but she didn't expect such a quick turnaround.
After receiving her instructions, Liu Xingwan prepared to leave the next day. The sect's frontline was in trouble, and she had already been there before. However, due to other matters within the sect, she had temporarily returned.
At dusk, Sun Xuerong returned from the Fei Ying Sect. She knew she would be held accountable.
Upon her return, she immediately went to Grandmaster Taiwu's courtyard.
"Sect Leader," she said.
Hearing her voice, Grandmaster Taiwu turned and smiled at Sun Xuerong. "Oh, Fifth Elder, you've finally returned."
As he spoke, he immediately instructed the nearby attendants to summon the other Elders.
