Chapter 247: Chen Su's Strange Attitude
Chapter 247: Chen Su's Strange Attitude
Grandmaster Taiwu was taken aback by Su Chen's response.
Usually, even when Su Chen argued, he would leave room for discussion.
But when it came to Li Xingwan, his response seemed rather strange.
For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward.
Before coming, Grandmaster Taiwu had thought that Li Xingwan might need some extra guidance.
After all, she was a true prodigy of the Heavens.
Asking her to learn from Chen Su was a gesture of humility.
But unexpectedly, Chen Su's reaction was peculiar.
"There's no such thing as a renowned and far-reaching reputation. These unknown juniors are all talented young elites of Great Zhou.
Xingwan is a gifted child, and I want her to learn from you some techniques for dealing with demons."
Grandmaster Taiwu tried to smooth things over.
"Junior Sister Li has exceptional talent, and she's already highly skilled in handling demons.
During Yunyang Sect's past purification campaigns, she could effortlessly slay hundreds of demons with a smile.
We are mere unknown rankers, how can we teach her our methods?"
As Su Chen spoke, his tone carried a strange air of ambiguity.
Not only was Grandmaster Taiwu surprised, but even the disciples who had been following Su Chen these past few days were filled with bewilderment.
The awkwardness lingered for a moment, and Grandmaster Taiwu made a few excuses before asking Li Xingwan to return to her tent first.
Then, he spoke with Su Chen.
"I won't hide it from Senior Brother Taiwu, I do have a poor impression of Junior Sister Li, so please understand.
Junior Sister Li's talent is indeed exceptional, and she doesn't need our guidance."
Grandmaster Taiwu tried to ease the tension, but it seemed to have little effect.
He merely informed Su Chen that Li Xingwan would be listening in on the side tomorrow.
After speaking with Su Chen, Grandmaster Taiwu found Li Xingwan.
Hearing Grandmaster Taiwu's words, Li Xingwan nodded in agreement without hesitation.
She didn't care about Su Chen's attitude at all.
Seeing this, Grandmaster Taiwu helplessly called Zhao Li to the frontline.
He recounted the situation of Li Xingwan's meeting with "Chen Su" to her.
"One speaks with a strange attitude, while the other is cold and indifferent, not caring about the other's reaction at all.
He even suggested that Xingwan persuade Chen Su to stay, but now it seems completely impossible."
Upon hearing Grandmaster Taiwu's words, Zhao Li seemed to gain some confidence.
"Hearing the Sect Leader say this, I don't think it's impossible.
Having emotions and reactions means there's still a chance.
The worst-case scenario is if Chen Su is also indifferent to Xingwan.
If he doesn't care at all, it's indeed difficult to have any effect.
But right now, Chen Su has a biased and dismissive attitude towards Xingwan.
As they get to know each other, his opinion of Xingwan will gradually change, and the impact will be even greater.
The previous misunderstanding will turn into self-blame.
In this situation, it's easier for him to fall deeper.
For us, if Chen Su gets entangled and Xingwan can maintain her clarity, that's what we want."
Zhao Li's explanation made sense to Grandmaster Taiwu.
Thinking about it, he felt he had misunderstood "Chen Su," believing he had misjudged "Chen Su's" abilities.
When Chen Su's true strength was revealed, he felt a sense of self-blame and valued "Chen Su" even more.
"Hall Master Zhao's words make sense, let's give it another try.
We also need to research more on dealing with Earth Demons.
We can't be trapped by these Earth Demons forever.
If we can't resolve the Earth Demon Plague, Yunyang Sect will never find peace.
The snow will soon melt, and it's best to resolve everything before spring arrives."
After hearing these words, Zhao Li nodded in agreement.
If the Earth Demons aren't eliminated, they might attract more trouble.
Just like before, the Earth Demons taught other Greater Demons and Golden Demons how to ambush in the snow.
That Earth Demon has always been there, and who knows what else it might teach other demons.
That's what they say, but the problem is how to eliminate this Earth Demon.
After that dangerous encounter, not only the Earth Demon but many other demons didn't dare approach the Yunyang Sect's frontline.
The seemingly peaceful and stable frontline always seemed to hide a crisis beneath.
Zhao Li calculated for a moment and planned to talk to "Chen Su" when she had the time.
Now, she felt that talking to "Chen Su" would be more meaningful than communicating with other Hall Masters.
A night passed.
As expected, Liu Xingwan arrived after daybreak.
Although Su Chen had clearly shown his displeasure towards her the day before, she still came.
Liu Xingwan followed quietly, without expressing any opinions.
She simply tagged along, listening to Su Chen and the others' explanations.
With Liu Xingwan by their side, the other Yunyang Sect disciples seemed a bit uneasy.
This Heaven's Talent Disciple seemed to make them feel more restrained than other Hall Masters and Elders.
Throughout the entire patrol, Liu Xingwan remained indifferent, just listening.
Su Chen didn't pay her any mind, as if she didn't exist.
Su Chen talked a lot during the patrol.
He also pointed out traces in many places.
Among them, there was a distant location that Su Chen pointed to.
He said that a small demon might appear there tonight, but it would keep its distance and wouldn't dare come close.
In the afternoon, Zhao Li found Liu Xingwan.
Liu Xingwan also mentioned it to her, hoping she wouldn't mind Chen Su's previous attitude.
Liu Xingwan agreed directly.
But upon hearing Zhao Li's praise, she became genuinely curious.
She wondered if Chen Su was truly that formidable.
In the evening, Liu Xingwan went alone to the sentry post, asking the disciple there to take a rest.
Seeing it was Liu Xingwan, the sentry disciple was startled.
At Liu Xingwan's gesture, he went to rest in the tent.
Taking over the sentry post, Liu Xingwan carefully observed the surroundings, especially the area Su Chen had pointed out during the day.
Two hours passed peacefully, and at the Yin Hour, a small demon indeed appeared, just as Su Chen had said.
It kept its distance from the frontline, afraid to approach.
It didn't stay long and quickly ran away.
Seeing this, Liu Xingwan was genuinely surprised.
She couldn't detect anything strange about that place.
But Su Chen could precisely calculate the demons' movements.
Although she had heard that Su Chen was skilled in dealing with demons, witnessing it firsthand added to her curiosity.
Inside, her initial indifference turned into curiosity.
She wondered how Su Chen could predict the demons' arrival and determine that they would only dare to watch from a distance, not daring to approach.
Initially, Liu Xingwan had some evasive intentions.
But tonight, she would be more serious.
The next morning, Liu Xingwan waited early at the defense line.
Top disciples seemed to possess excellent self-control.
Su Chen led the others on their routine morning patrol, with Liu Xingwan by his side.
After walking for a while, she asked, "About the demon attack you mentioned yesterday at the forward position, you said they wouldn't dare approach our defense line. What's the basis for that? Can you explain?"
Hearing this question, Su Chen didn't even pause in his steps and continued walking forward.
