Chapter 332: What Exactly Does She Intend for You?
Chapter 332: What Exactly Does She Intend for You?
The various major sects within the Great Zhou Dynasty generally maintained a harmonious relationship.
Despite occasional arguments and disputes, there had never been any reports of them attacking each other's disciples.
However, Su Chen seemed to be an exception.
Unlike others, Su Chen only joined Celestial Capital City after leaving Yunyang Sect.
Moreover, Su Chen's past as a Yunyang Sect disciple had tarnished the sect's reputation.
Considering Sun Xue Rong's character, it was not surprising that Zhenren Shang Xuan would say such things.
But Zhenren Shang Xuan still felt that he might be overthinking it.
Yunyang Sect probably wouldn't be that malicious.
In the current world, demons constantly threatened the safety of the Great Zhou citizens.
If Yunyang Sect were to attack Celestial Capital City, it would no longer be a matter of them having poor judgment or failing to recognize talent.
Su Chen understood what Zhenren Shang Xuan was implying.
Regardless of whether Yunyang Sect had such malicious intentions, Su Chen needed to continue improving his cultivation.
After the Mid-Year Competition in the capital, the entire Great Zhou had become increasingly focused on him.
Enhancing his strength and reaching a higher cultivation level, thus gaining sufficient self-protection abilities, was the right path.
It seemed that once he embarked on this path, there was no turning back, and he had to keep pushing forward.
The next day, he would set off for Jin State, returning home. Mother and Younger Sister had already started helping Su Chen pack his belongings.
Early the next morning, the sect elders called Su Chen to the courtyard.
In the courtyard, several elders and Mr. Ouyang were all present.
After giving Su Chen some reminders, Zhenren Shang Xuan retrieved an inner armor from the house.
"There were too many people yesterday, so I'm giving this to you. Otherwise, others might harbor resentment."
"Take it now.
Sometimes, external assistance like this is also not to be underestimated.
With this inner armor, you should be able to survive a regular Earth Demon's attack."
The inner armor before Su Chen's eyes was a Supreme-grade inner armor.
Su Chen guessed that this might be the only Supreme-grade inner armor in Celestial Capital City.
An item of such quality was incredibly precious to any sect in the Great Zhou.
Su Chen was touched by the gift of such a valuable item.
The treatment he received in Celestial Capital City was far better than in Yunyang Sect.
But after some thought, Su Chen declined.
"Take it. We old folks rarely get to leave the sect for training.
Except for dealing with threats above the Earth Demon level, we can't use this Supreme-grade inner armor.
Take it; it will be of great use to you."
Zhenren Shang Xuan often felt that Celestial Capital City hadn't provided enough help to Su Chen.
Among the many cultivation techniques Su Chen had learned, only the Cloud Stride technique was acquired from Celestial Capital City.
At most, they had only given Su Chen some pointers.
Seeing that the elders were all urging him to accept the inner armor, Su Chen hesitated.
It wasn't that he couldn't accept it, but accepting it would be a waste.
He already had a Supreme-grade inner armor, so it would be better to give this one to someone else in the sect.
"Take it. This year, our sect has made significant progress in various aspects, and you, my child, have played an indispensable role.
You are qualified to receive this inner armor."
Mr. Ouyang also smiled and spoke from the side.
Given the situation, it was difficult to refuse such kindness.
After a moment of hesitation, Su Chen removed his outer robe, revealing the Supreme-grade inner armor he was wearing, given to him by Qiu Ruo Shuang.
This inner armor not only reached the Supreme grade in quality but also, upon closer inspection, was considered exceptional even among Supreme-grade items.
"Actually, I already have an inner armor."
The crowd noticed the inner armor on Su Chen's body, and their faces twitched slightly.
They had thought they were giving him a valuable gift, not knowing he already had one.
The courtyard fell into a brief silence.
After a while, Mr. Ouyang was the first to speak.
"Is this the one given to you by Senior Qiu?"
"Yes," Su Chen replied affirmatively, causing Mr. Ouyang's brows to furrow slightly.
"What exactly does she intend for you? Why are the gifts she gives more valuable than the last?"
His words sounded more like a complaint.
But after the complaint, he knew he shouldn't jump to conclusions.
After all, from the current situation, Qiu Ruo Shuang had only shown kindness towards Su Chen, with no signs of ill intent.
The elders nearby also took the opportunity to ask about this Senior Qiu.
Learning that Su Chen had such an opportunity, they no longer insisted on giving him another Supreme Inner Armor. It wouldn't provide much assistance and might even be a waste of resources.
After some thought, Zhenren Shang Xuan handed the inner armor to Mr. Ouyang.
"In a moment, give these to Mu Quan and let him deliver them to Gu Feng."
As he spoke, Zhenren Shang Xuan glanced at Su Chen once more.
"You, young man, must be more careful with your words. Don't let anything slip, or we old folks will be roasted."
Su Chen smiled and nodded.
He understood the meaning behind Zhenren Shang Xuan's words.
This was a concern that his careless words might let Gu Feng know the origin of the Supreme Inner Armor.
Su Chen didn't need it, so giving it to him would likely make him feel uncomfortable.
It was only natural for people to have such thoughts.
Back at his family's courtyard, Su Chen prepared to leave with various items.
This time, he had stayed with his family for quite a while.
The main reason was that he was going to the capital to participate in the Midyear Competition, and he took his younger sister along.
If you calculated the time spent at home, it wasn't that long.
This time, he was going to Jin State, and he couldn't bring his sister with him.
A strange place like that wasn't suitable for gaining experience.
The first condition for Su Chen to take his younger sister was to ensure her safety.
If even safety couldn't be guaranteed, how could Su Chen dare to let his sister follow?
This trip to Jin State was to the Shadowplain Battlefield.
The Celestial Capital's core disciples and direct disciples going there might encounter danger.
Especially near the Shadowplain Battlefield, the number of demons would definitely surge.
It was unclear if there were golden demons or even earth demons hiding and infiltrating.
Moreover, Jin State was too vast.
In front of Jin State, the entire Great Zhou seemed insignificant.
The wrongs suffered by the crowd in Jin State were likely beyond the Great Zhou court's ability to seek justice for them.
Speaking of which, the Great Zhou only sent five disciples.
Compared to the number of disciples in the Shadowplain Battlefield, this was an insignificant proportion.
With fewer people, they would be even less likely to be valued.
At noon, the crowd gathered outside the city, preparing to depart.
Today, as they set off, Zhenren Shang Xuan and several other elders arrived.
The Shadowplain Battlefield was filled with various dangers but also surrounded by opportunities.
Moreover, Su Chen and Gu Feng's performance would also affect the Celestial Capital's reputation in Great Zhou, further impacting it.
It was normal for the sect to pay attention.
Of course, the main reason for this trip to Jin State was that the Celestial Capital sent two core disciples and six direct disciples.
If they didn't pay attention and worry, that would be truly strange.
