Chapter 324: The Celestial Spear City's Triumph Banquet
Chapter 324: The Celestial Spear City's Triumph Banquet
The various teams from Celestial Spear City returned with even more fanfare than when they had arrived.
Some of the directions were similar, and the sects that were on their way were considered to have a convenient route.
On the return journey, they all chose to travel together with Celestial Spear City.
As a result, the entire group appeared extremely lively.
It was evident to anyone with a keen eye that Celestial Spear City was about to rise to prominence.
Last year, Celestial Spear City began to push forward its front-line defenses.
At that time, many people already felt that the sect's strength in Celestial Spear City was rapidly improving.
However, at that time, the most that could be said was that the sect's strength was improving.
They couldn't take on the reputation of a rising power.
It was Su Chen's appearance and performance during the Midyear Grand Tournament that truly marked the rise of Celestial Spear City.
Because of Su Chen's performance, it could be considered a heavy blow to Yunyang Sect.
Starting this year, even the most stubborn individuals might waver in their hearts.
The younger generation of the Great Zhou Dynasty would prioritize Celestial Spear City over Yunyang Sect in their choice of sects.
To be serious, Su Chen wasn't the symbol of Celestial Spear City's rise to prominence.
Instead, Su Chen's performance would lead to Yunyang Sect's downfall.
This would shift the focus of the younger generation towards Celestial Spear City.
That was the true sign of prosperity.
On the carriage ride back, the younger sister sat beside Su Chen.
Compared to when they left, she was even more restrained and cautious.
It wasn't easy to get close to Su Chen, so many people turned their attention to her.
This young girl wasn't used to so many people being attentive to her, and she even felt annoyed.
She was only comfortable with Jin Yue and Gu Wei, who sat with her.
"I didn't know your strength was so formidable, brother."
Sitting next to Su Chen, the younger sister's bright eyes watched him.
When Su Chen was first challenged, her small hands were tightly clenched, and her whole body was tense.
But as the trials progressed, the younger sister became more and more relaxed.
She was very calm, and her heart had already determined that Su Chen wouldn't lose.
"Yes, I told Mother not to worry about us, right? I wasn't lying, was I?"
In front of his younger sister, Su Chen always had a kind and brotherly demeanor.
On the carriage, everyone's gaze fell on the two siblings.
Seeing Su Chen boasting like this, the younger sister seemed to be deep in thought.
"Brother, why weren't you valued at all when you were in Yunyang Sect before?"
These words left Su Chen unsure of how to respond.
If she had left Yunyang Sect earlier, life at home would have improved sooner.
"That's because the people of Yunyang Sect are blind."
As the younger sister chatted with Su Chen, Jin Yue, who had been silent beside them, couldn't help but interject.
She and the younger sister were close, and on the way back, they naturally sat together.
"Actually, I'm quite blind too.
Brother Su's strength is far superior to what we imagined."
Jin Yue had always thought she knew Su Chen quite well.
Both of them were under Ouyang Chuan's command, and they used to often discuss their cultivation methods.
As a result, she only understood a fraction of his true capabilities.
If it were in the past, Jin Yue's words would have carried a hint of complaint.
But now, she seemed to realize that her relationship with Su Chen wasn't close enough.
There were some ways of speaking that she didn't have the right to display in front of Su Chen.
"I thought you were all disciples of Mr. Ouyang, and that you would understand each other better as fellow disciples."
Gu Wei, sitting nearby, softly added a sentence.
Her tone didn't seem inappropriate, but the atmosphere around them suddenly became awkward.
There should have been a second half to that sentence, but Gu Wei didn't say it.
However, it was clear that she was challenging Jin Yue.
The tension between the two was evident, and the younger sister tried to smooth things over.
Su Chen made an excuse and headed towards Mr. Ouyang's carriage.
Before leaving the capital, Mr. Ouyang had already asked all the questions he wanted to ask.
"The sect should have received the news earlier than us."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the sect will likely hold a celebration banquet when we return."
Mr. Ouyang's face was filled with a smile.
He had brought so many disciples, but none of them had achieved as much as Su Chen.
"Do you need to make it so grand?"
Seeing the helpless smile on Su Chen's face, Mr. Ouyang nodded seriously.
"It's necessary. Tian'gang City needs these to boost morale and confidence."
"To be honest, I mentioned the celebration banquet in my letter."
"The sect members have worked hard these past years.
We should celebrate our achievements, shouldn't we?"
"The sect should reward everyone. Everyone has made sacrifices, and a celebration is in order."
Mr. Ouyang spoke softly, and upon hearing this, Su Chen could only nod in agreement.
He didn't mind the celebration banquet, as long as there weren't any embarrassing ceremonies.
If he had to speak in front of everyone and share his experiences, that would be the most awkward situation.
The Tian'gang City team maintained a relatively normal speed.
When it was time to travel, they traveled, and when it was time to rest, they took a break.
On the contrary, the Yunyang Sect seemed to be intentionally delaying their journey.
The entire team didn't need to rest, but whenever they encountered a relay station, the whole team would stop.
Everyone seemed to have an unspoken agreement, and it was evident that the team was moving slower than necessary.
However, no one spoke up to suggest speeding up.
Even Zhao Li, a practical and fact-based Head Branch, wanted to delay.
Everyone seemed to have an understanding that they would be scolded upon returning to the Yunyang Sect.
Besides scolding, there might be other punishments as well.
Among the Yunyang Sect members, there probably wasn't anyone with a masochistic tendency.
They were just looking forward to being scolded.
The longer they delayed, the more scolding they would receive.
After more than three days of travel, the Tian'gang City team had arrived.
Su Chen and his younger sister got off the carriage.
Today's Tian'gang City was even more exaggerated than he had imagined.
All around the city, it was as if the New Year's Eve was approaching.
Decorations were hung everywhere to celebrate.
As expected, Su Chen's performance in the Great Zhou capital had spread throughout the city.
This year, Tian'gang City's external trade had increased significantly.
With these trades as a cover, the news had spread far and wide.
The conflict between the Yunyang Sect and Tian'gang City had come to a conclusion in the conversations of the Great Zhou's common people.
Following the crowd, as they approached the sect, the people of Tian'gang City began to offer Su Chen a gaze of respect.
This feeling was indeed a little uncomfortable.
Upon returning to the sect, there was indeed a celebration banquet prepared.
In Mr. Ouyang's letter to the sect, he had already informed them of the time they would arrive in Tian'gang City.
The sect was naturally able to make preparations in advance.
Half of the morning had passed, and it would soon be noon.
The sect allowed everyone to rest and then directly attend the celebration banquet.
As for the Tian'gang City higher-ups who wanted to talk to them, it was decided to be held after the banquet.
With the excellent results in this year's midyear competition, everyone in the sect felt relieved.
Everyone was able to act more freely and break free from conventions.
