Chapter 327: Does Chen Su Participate in This Year's Mid-Year Competition?
Chapter 327: Does Chen Su Participate in This Year's Mid-Year Competition?
Tai Wu Zhenren's rhetorical question left Sun Xuerong speechless.
Others aren't fools, why would they want to frame themselves like this?
Do they really wish for me to fail so badly?
If that's truly the case, then Su Chen wouldn't have left Yunyang Sect and started making a name for himself in Heaven's Spear City.
After being refuted, Sun Xuerong's tone became much weaker.
"I can't explain the exact reasons, but back then when he was in the sect, he didn't perform well himself.
The sect provided him with the necessary cultivation resources and guidance.
It's true that he didn't display his true strength and abilities."
In front of everyone, Sun Xuerong continued to make excuses.
But from a certain perspective, she wasn't entirely making excuses.
She knew very little about Su Chen.
Before, she had heard of Su Chen Su's name.
But she only knew that Su Chen was a disciple who was more proactive on the front lines.
Other than that, there wasn't much else.
Later, when Su Chen was accused of stealing credit, even this proactive attitude was seen as a facade by many.
Hearing Sun Xuerong's defense, Tai Wu Zhenren took a letter from one of his attendants.
"During these few days of waiting, I had someone investigate this matter in detail.
To see how much cultivation resources and guidance Su Chen received from Yunyang Sect.
The results were shocking.
Ever since joining Yunyang Sect, Su Chen never received any detailed cultivation guidance from the sect.
When the front lines encountered numerous difficulties, many disciples were directly sent to the front.
The promised resources from Yunyang Sect were never fulfilled.
For over two years in Yunyang Sect, Su Chen received no active cultivation guidance from us.
The cultivation techniques and moves he practiced were all obtained through his own contributions.
To put it bluntly, for such a talented individual, we, the leaders of the sect, never paid any attention to him!"
Tai Wu Zhenren's words were accompanied by a loud slap on the table, creating a resounding echo.
It seemed he was still holding back, as the table remained intact.
"Nonsense! He received all the cultivation resources the sect promised. If I were in his position, I would also leave and cause trouble for Heaven's Spear City!"
Tai Wu Zhenren now presented the evidence of Su Chen's treatment.
The unfair treatment Su Chen endured was now fully exposed to the public.
"This issue isn't solely the fault of the Fifth Elder. The other four elders, you too have neglected your duties.
After this incident, you'll see.
See how much turmoil Yunyang Sect will face.
It was challenging to boost the morale of the sect's disciples, and now, see what will happen."
The few elders beside him lowered their heads, appearing apologetic.
But in this situation, what use was their apology to Tai Wu Zhenren?
Would their apology restore the sect's morale?
After a prolonged silence, Tai Wu Zhenren spoke again.
"What solutions do you propose? Why are you all silent in the face of these problems?
Externally, how should we address the matter of Su Chen? The people of Great Zhou already doubt us.
At the very least, we must provide an explanation."
Facing Tai Wu Zhenren's interrogation, Sun Xuerong paused before speaking again.
"Sect Master, Su Chen does possess some strength, and I admit that I didn't handle the matter well.
It seems that they misjudged him, leading to the current situation.
However, when our Yunyang Sect decided to let him go, it wasn’t because of his strength from the very beginning.
It was due to his character flaws. We expelled him because of his low moral standards.
Therefore, this explanation can actually hold water.
At least it allows the Yunyang Sect to stand on a moral high ground.
In front of outsiders, the Yunyang Sect can explain very confidently that they expelled Su Chen not because they failed to recognize his talent and potential, but because of his poor character.
This excuse can at least alleviate the widespread doubts about the Yunyang Sect in Great Zhou.
After hearing this response, Tai Wu Zhenren also thought about it quite seriously.
It does have some feasibility.
However, Tai Wu Zhenren now has very little trust in Sun Xuerong.
"Fifth Elder, are you sure that Su Chen tried to claim others' credit back then?"
Facing this question, Liu Xingwan spoke up to help her master explain.
"Sect Master, Su Chen’s performance in this Midyear Competition in the Capital City was indeed somewhat unexpected.
However, I still have confidence that I can defeat him with my current strength.
Over two years ago, he was far from as strong as he is now.
At that time, the contributions he earned surpassed mine, and I didn’t believe the authenticity of those contributions.
Moreover, many people at the time did say that Su Chen tried to claim others' credit.
It wasn’t just a few of us who said it."
With Liu Xingwan helping to explain, Tai Wu Zhenren's expression relaxed a lot.
He didn’t continue to press the matter further.
However, Tai Wu Zhenren still had many complaints.
"Back then, this old man criticized the Eagleeye Sect in front of Chen Su.
I said that the Eagleeye Sect couldn’t recognize the talent and potential of the young generation, wasting two years.
Now it seems that our Yunyang Sect isn’t much better.
We also failed to recognize Su Chen’s abilities, didn’t we?
And if this news spreads, Chen Su will likely be even more disappointed in us."
Tai Wu Zhenren looked somewhat regretful.
He still remembered what Liu Xingwan had said earlier, that they had made a bet.
He thought it was a sure win, but now, they lost so directly.
"By the way, did Chen Su participate in this Midyear Competition?
It seems that the news we received didn’t mention him at all."
Hearing this, Liu Xingwan immediately shook her head.
"I looked through the crowd three or four times and didn’t see his figure.
I even had someone investigate, and it seems that no one from the Eagleeye Sect came to participate in the Midyear Competition.
Actually, I wanted to ask the Sect Master, how can we find him?
After Chen Su returned to the Eagleeye Sect, he seemed to have completely disappeared.
Sect Master, if you could help, I’d like to talk to him about some matters."
Tai Wu Zhenren also shook his head helplessly.
"The last time I asked him to come forward, I had to go through the Eagleeye Sect master.
They might be afraid that we will snatch their treasure disciple, so they are keeping him hidden.
As for meeting him, I can only try to talk to the Eagleeye Sect."
After a few more words with Liu Xingwan, Tai Wu Zhenren dismissed the young disciples who came with him.
He had some decisions to announce.
The impact of the Midyear Competition is far greater than expected.
Tai Wu Zhenren needs to find a way to respond.
Solving the problem might not be possible, but at least he can alleviate it.
It’s 11 PM again, and it’s too late, so I’ll post it in the morning.
