Chapter 310: Liu Xingwan's Grievance
Chapter 310: Liu Xingwan's Grievance
The Yunyang Sect's frontline defense.
From time to time, Liu Xingwan would visit the frontlines to take a look.
Many disciples had followed Su Chen to learn the techniques for dealing with demons.
But in the end, only Liu Xingwan managed to grasp some of the essence.
The Earth Demons had been eliminated for almost two months now.
Demons in the wilderness were starting to stir again.
As Liu Xingwan walked along the frontline defense, she couldn't help but remind the disciples stationed there of various things.
At this moment, Liu Xingwan was inspecting the situation at the southern end of the defense line.
Suddenly, she turned around and saw it was Zhao Li, the Hall Master.
"Hall Master."
"You stubborn child, why won't you listen to advice?
I told you to stay in the sect and focus on your cultivation. The midyear competition is coming up soon, and you need to be in good form.
Why do you keep running to the frontlines?"
Zhao Li sighed helplessly.
After dealing with the Earth Demons, Zhao Li and Liu Xingwan had become quite close.
Their views, temperaments, and personalities were quite compatible.
It wasn't surprising that they had grown closer.
"In a few days, I haven't had any special insights. Cultivating doesn't guarantee progress either.
It's better to come to the frontlines and help the sect.
I've been feeling a bit frustrated lately, so I thought I'd come here to clear my mind."
Liu Xingwan spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Li sighed again.
"Your frustration... is it because of Chen Su?"
Liu Xingwan paused, wanting to explain, but she held back.
Seeing that they were alone, she swallowed her words.
"Hall Master, do you have any news from him?"
Hearing this, Zhao Li shook her head.
"I find it very strange as well.
After Chen Su returned to the Eagleeye Sect, it's as if he completely disappeared.
Even after we left, I arranged for some people to investigate within the Eagleeye Sect.
But the news they sent back also said they hadn't seen Chen Su."
Liu Xingwan, standing nearby, opened her mouth to ask further.
Before she could speak, Zhao Li continued her explanation.
"I know you want to talk about Celestial Capital, Xingwan.
The Eagleeye Sect and Celestial Capital are close, and the two sects have a tight relationship.
So, I arranged people in Celestial Capital a long time ago.
But the result is the same; there's no sign of Chen Su in Celestial Capital either."
Liu Xingwan frowned, her expression turning sour.
Logically, a disciple with Chen Su's talent and potential should be quite remarkable.
Even if the Eagleeye Sect wanted to hide Chen Su, it shouldn't be this easy.
Top disciples must participate in numerous trials and receive guidance from various cultivation techniques.
Take Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan, for example; even if the Yunyang Sect wanted to hide them, they wouldn't be allowed to skip trials like the Ascend Cloud Platform, right? Cultivation, resources, comprehension, and trials—these three aspects must come together to improve one's cultivation strength.
Is it possible that the Eagleeye Sect, in their attempt to hide Chen Su, doesn't even let him participate in trials?"
"When they left, they didn't even leave a way to find him.
Later, when it's time to prove that Su Chen's reputation is false, and his strength is all talk and exaggeration, what can I do to make him keep his promise?"
There was a hint of grievance in Liu Xingwan's tone.
Zhao Li, being older and more experienced, instantly sensed something amiss in her tone.
Zhao Li didn't lecture her or advise her against having feelings for Chen Su.
In fact, the higher-ups of the Yunyang Sect had already been paying attention to this matter.
At the Ascend Cloud Platform, "Chen Su" had stayed on the seventh level for a full one and a half hours.
In addition to investigating the Earth Demon's movements, Chen Su's reputation within the Yunyang Sect was that of a young prodigy, a Celestial Prodigy-level talent.
If it were anyone else, the Yunyang Sect would have already made a fuss.
Liu Xingwan didn't know how many times she would be pulled aside for a chat.
But this time, it was Chen Su, and Zhao Li had heard the arrangements from Taiwu Zhenren.
It was best to let things unfold naturally.
The sect seemed to have some support for this idea.
"I don't know if he'll participate in this year's Midyear Competition.
With his strength, obtaining the qualification for the Midyear Competition is more than enough.
It's just that he's in the Eagleeye Sect, and I don't know if that small sect can give him the opportunity."
Zhao Li shook her head helplessly, and when it came to Chen Su, Liu Xingwan seemed to have a lot more to say.
"You should worry about yourself, my child.
Our Yunyang Sect is under no small pressure this year. We need to restore our reputation, and our performance in the Midyear Competition must be exceptional.
As for that Su Chen, I've heard from many people that he's not without ability.
He learned a lot from our Yunyang Sect back then, and now he's been in Celestial Capital for so long.
Even with average talent, he must have learned something.
To make him show his true abilities, Celestial Capital will definitely put in the effort to cultivate him."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xingwan still didn't seem too concerned.
"Rest assured, Hall Master. As long as Su Chen dares to participate in the Midyear Competition, he'll have the chance to face us.
All his pretenses outside will be torn apart by us.
If I get to face him, I won't just let the people of Great Zhou see through his lies with Celestial Capital.
I'll also make him suffer.
Yunyang Sect nurtured him for many years and took care of him for many years.
But he forgot his gratitude and turned around to frame us.
Such a person is disgusting and nauseating.
Even without the bet with Chen Su, I want to face him and teach him a lesson."
As she spoke, Liu Xingwan turned to Zhao Li and asked.
"Hall Master, has Celestial Capital confirmed Su Chen's participation?
The Midyear Competition is not far away.
Logically, all the major sects should have submitted their lists of participants by now."
Zhao Li shook her head slightly, but she did know about this matter.
"In the list obtained five days ago, Su Chen's name is still not there.
Because of this, the Third Elder was sent to the Imperial Court again.
He prepared a competition proposal for the Imperial Court to adopt.
If that proposal is accepted, it's basically forcing Celestial Capital to arrange for Su Chen to come.
I hope the Imperial Court will show some understanding."
Liu Xingwan nodded.
If Celestial Capital still refuses to send Su Chen to the Midyear Competition, she will go to Celestial Capital to challenge him.
As one of Great Zhou's top Celestial Prodigies, she will lower her status to compete with Su Chen.
It's not just for the reputation of the Yunyang Sect, but more importantly, it's a chance for Chen Su to fulfill his promise.
Zhao Li accompanied Liu Xingwan as they completed their inspection of the frontlines.
In their conversation, they occasionally talked about Chen Su, and sometimes they mentioned Su Chen.
Their evaluations were worlds apart.
One was a talented genius who helped the Yunyang Sect out of its predicament, with exceptional natural talent.
The other was a traitor to the Yunyang Sect, one who forgot gratitude and framed them, disgusting and despicable.
Although Zhao Li didn't particularly dislike Su Chen, she couldn't deny that because of him, the Yunyang Sect had encountered countless troubles.
After completing the inspection of the frontline, Zhao Li took Liu Xingwan back.
As the upcoming Midyear Competition drew near, Liu Xingwan's heart was filled with growing anticipation.
