Chapter 27: Even if it's a Fake, It Should Be More Convincing
Chapter 27: Even if it's a Fake, It Should Be More Convincing
After speaking, Su Chen bowed to the other fellow sect members and then left the pavilion.
Rather than saying that Ouyang Chuan wanted to mentor him and have him study The Great Zhou Code of Conduct to purify his heart, it seemed more like he was helping Xia Kun vent his anger by punishing Su Chen.
Copying The Great Zhou Code of Conduct twenty times, who knows how much time he would waste.
Furthermore, copying it twenty times would be useless in changing their biased views of him.
Even a hundred or a thousand times would be pointless.
Only by improving my strength and realm can I show them my potential and abilities.
Only then can I clear my name from this slander."
Su Chen's mind became increasingly clear, and he would no longer be easily deceived like before.
This Ouyang Chuan, he has a strong bias against me.
It would be difficult for me to gain recognition from him.
Since that's the case, it's better for me to change my instructor.
Even if the new instructor is mediocre, they won't be like Ouyang Chuan, adding obstacles for me.
Pavilion.
Seeing Su Chen leave, Ouyang Chuan's expression remained indifferent.
On the contrary, the other disciples around him were somewhat surprised.
"It's better that he left. If a student under my guidance were to show such an unbecoming character, it would only embarrass me."
Ouyang Chuan returned to the stage, and Su Chen's departure seemed to please him.
"Instructor, why does the sect still want him to enrol?
A person like this, unwanted by the Yunyang Sect, why do we take him in?"
Below the stage, a disciple couldn't help but ask.
Ouyang Chuan slowly sat down and began explaining to everyone.
"Regarding your question, I actually asked the Third Elder the same thing, why keep him in the sect.
The Elder gave me two reasons.
Firstly, Su Chen had previously assisted our Tiangang City disciples during the late autumn defense against demonic creatures, and his contributions were significant. We must acknowledge this.
Considering this, the Elder has already decided to accept him.
Secondly, although Su Chen's character is lowly due to his glory-seeking and fame-grabbing nature, he is not a heinous criminal.
If Tiangang City also expels him, pushing him to desperation, he might commit some evil deeds.
Keeping him in Tiangang City is also a way to eliminate a potential threat for the Great Zhou."
Hearing this, the other disciples unconsciously nodded, agreeing that these reasons made sense.
"According to Su Chen's character, if he's pushed to desperation, he might indeed commit those evil acts.
Engaging in deceit and crime, robbing and plundering.
In the end, it would be the common people of the Great Zhou who suffer."
The other disciples nodded in agreement.
Subtly, it seemed like they were adding a filthy title to Su Chen's reputation.
Returning to the courtyard, Su Chen continued to cultivate and improve himself during his free time, tempering his physique.
Cultivation progress still relied on himself.
There was no need to invest too much in Tiangang City.
Tiangang City was merely a platform for him to prove his innocence.
Other hopes should be placed on himself.
A day passed.
Su Chen received news from Yao Xiaoyu, and he was reassigned to Ji Sheng's mentorship.
The two sat down at a restaurant in the city and ordered some simple dishes.
"Su Shidi, why did you cause such a fuss after only two days of study?"
Yao Xiaoyu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her face filled with concern.
It took some effort for her and Wu Yi to be placed under Ouyang Chuan's mentorship.
Unexpectedly, after just two days, he was reassigned to another instructor.
Su Chen smiled and remained calm.
"Regarding Ouyang Chuan, let's just forget about it.
With my tarnished reputation, I'd only face harsh treatment under his guidance.
"Translation Rules" strictly, using "Key Terms" for translating and consistency. Do not include any unrelated content or incomplete thoughts.
In the time wasted under his command, it's better for me to seek guidance from other instructors. Even if I don't get much help, at least I won't face any obstacles."
Yao Xiaoyu wanted to say something, but after a pause, she could only sigh.
"Among all the instructors, Mr. Ji Sheng is the strongest."
"He has already reached the Profound Completion of the Fifth Stage Snow Intent Realm, which is significantly more advanced than the others."
Upon hearing Yao Shijie's words, Su Chen had a vague idea.
"Although he is strong, this Mr. Ji probably has other more troublesome issues."
Su Chen didn't know Ji Sheng, but he could roughly guess Ouyang Chuan's intentions.
He probably won't send me to study under a more outstanding instructor.
"Mr. Ji is indeed strong, and he's only a step away from the Fourth Stage, rivaling the city's elders in strength.
But he has little interest in teaching and guiding disciples.
Unless you're one of the top disciples, he won't even spare you a glance.
Even offering a few pointers feels like a waste of energy to him."
"But Yao Shijie is a direct disciple."
"In his eyes, except for those top disciples, we direct disciples are all the same, ordinary people with average talent."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen finally understood why Yao Shijie had been worried earlier.
"The benefit of studying under him is that it's very relaxed and free.
The drawback is that with all the relaxation and freedom, everything depends on you."
To put it directly, studying under Mr. Ji is like self-learning.
"If you encounter any difficulties or have any questions about cultivation, come and ask us.
If I can't answer, you can still ask Senior Brother Wu Yi."
The next day, Su Chen went to another pavilion, where Ji Sheng instructed the crowd.
In the morning, there were still quite a few disciples present.
Seeing Su Chen, a few of them smiled.
"I knew it, Su Chen would eventually come to us.
All of us who were rejected will ultimately gather here."
The others around also smiled, but there was no sense of malice.
Su Chen conversed with the crowd, and they were all in the same situation.
Rejected elsewhere, they came to study under Ji Sheng.
It felt like all the disciples with lower talent and potential had gathered here.
Perhaps there was a sense of shared sympathy, as the crowd didn't reject Su Chen.
During their conversation, Instructor Ji Sheng arrived.
He seemed to have not taken care of himself, looking somewhat disheveled.
Previously, when chatting with fellow sect members, Su Chen learned that Ji Sheng would come today.
The sect's elder had given him a strict requirement; at least for the first month, he must come.
This requirement was already as low as it could get; all that was needed was his presence.
No other demands were mentioned.
Considering the elder's face, Ji Sheng reluctantly showed up.
Ji Sheng wore a constant smile, and even though the crowd was casual, he showed no sign of reprimand.
He didn't care about them at all.
Do as you please, he didn't mind.
However, upon seeing Su Chen, he couldn't help but take two steps forward.
"You're Su Chen, right? Let me ask you, what were you thinking when you were in Yunyang Sect?
Even if it's fake, you should have made it more believable.
What were you thinking when you suppressed Xing Wan? Honestly, I really can't understand."
Ji Sheng wore a smile as if chatting casually with Su Chen.
