Chapter 334: Such Treatment
Chapter 334: Such Treatment
"You've come from far, and I've been remiss, truly remiss."
As they entered the reception hall, Ding Jiujiang immediately spoke with a smile.
His words seemed like an apology.
However, his expression didn't convey any sense of remorse.
Su Chen and Gu Feng, along with the other senior disciples, exchanged glances and then simultaneously smiled lightly.
This 'remiss' Ding Jiujiang spoke of was genuinely a display of negligence.
"Let's go to the guest rooms first, and we can put these items away. Then, we can discuss other matters."
As he spoke, Ding Jiujiang began leading the way.
Master Mu glanced at Long Yunyun and hesitated for a moment before calling out, "Yunyun."
Hearing her grandfather speak, Long Yunyun pursed her lips.
Then, she nodded.
But this granddaughter of his didn't call out to Master Mu.
Last year in Tian Gang City, the words Master Mu had said to her must have hurt her.
However, Master Mu still didn't think he was wrong.
Raised and nurtured by Tian Gang City, he had become the Hallmaster of the city.
He wouldn't tolerate anyone disparaging Tian Gang City, not even if it was his granddaughter.
Last year, when Long Yunyun and Su Chen had their confrontation, she had lost face terribly.
Moreover, even the qualification for training in Mountain River Pool that Tian Gang City had given her was won by Su Chen.
Perhaps this was also a reason why Long Yunyun still held some resentment towards everyone.
Su Chen, Gu Feng, and the others walked at a slightly slower pace, not keeping up closely.
Among them, they spoke in low voices.
"Just as we expected, Heaven Wind Valley is still this arrogant."
Gu Feng looked at Ding Jiujiang and Long Yunyun's backs, his tone carrying a hint of disdain.
"Was it like this the last time you came, Senior Brother Gu?"
Someone beside them asked quietly.
"It was similar. The older generation was better; they at least knew to be a bit more polite.
But these young ones don't even pretend."
Gu Feng paused for a moment and then gestured to the others.
"Last year, when the people from Heaven Wind Valley came to the sect to train in Mountain River Pool, I wasn't at the sect, but I can imagine their expressions.
If nothing unexpected happened, they must have been trying hard to restrain their disdain.
Right?"
Hearing this, the others around them recalled the situation.
In a moment, they nodded.
"It seems it was indeed like that. Those from Heaven Wind Valley do have a sense of arrogance.
But after Senior Brother Su defeated Long Yunyun, their expressions didn't appear so arrogant anymore."
"Anyway, we know what they're like, and it's just a training session.
We're in Jin State, and we don't expect anything from them.
From now on, there won't be much interaction."
As they spoke, Master Mu slowed down slightly and waved for them to walk faster and keep up with his pace.
They headed west, where the guest rooms of Heaven Wind Valley were located.
"You can rest here for a while. The valley has prepared a banquet for this evening.
Around dusk, I'll come to find you all."
Ding Jiujiang led the group into the guest rooms as he spoke.
Opening the door, they found the room in disarray.
"Oh, why didn't these people clean their rooms? Everyone, let's move to the side rooms on the other side.
The attendants in the valley are truly lazy, not even bothering to clean the rooms. Look at this mess."
Master Mu waved his hand beside them.
"Never mind, no need to trouble Hallmaster Ding.
We'll tidy up a little, and it should be livable."
"Then we can only ask our guests from Celestial Capital to bear with us."
After Ding Jiujiang finished speaking, he and Long Yunyun left.
The guest rooms were in disarray, but some were spacious enough.
Two people occupied one room, which wasn't too cramped.
Hallmaster Mu Quan also found a guest room and started cleaning.
As they watched him leave, Su Chen and the others began to complain again.
"It seems that Heaven Wind Valley doesn't take us seriously at all.
We just need to remind the attendants in the valley, I don't believe they would dare not come and clean these rooms."
After one person complained, the others chimed in.
"No wonder many senior brothers and sisters from before said they wouldn't come back to Heaven Wind Valley.
Now it seems that the people of Heaven Wind Valley have this kind of attitude, and they look quite unpleasant."
Hearing their complaints, Gu Feng remained relatively calm.
"It's fine if you get used to it. Heaven Wind Valley doesn't respect us, and it's understandable that they treat us with neglect.
Anyway, it's just a few days of travel, and we'll be leaving soon."
With Gu Feng's words, everyone became much more composed.
Without high expectations for Heaven Wind Valley, they naturally wouldn't be disappointed.
They treated this place as a training ground, and the attitude of the Heaven Wind Valley disciples was just a challenge they had to overcome in this training.
The guest rooms were simply cleaned up.
At night, they meditated and rested. No one expected to stay in the guest rooms for comfort.
As dusk approached, Ding Jiujiang came again.
He invited everyone to the western pavilion for a banquet.
But this banquet seemed to be just a simple meal.
Besides Ding Jiujiang, Long Yunyun and another Heaven Wind Valley disciple attended.
This was their reception, and the difference in treatment compared to what they received in Celestial Capital was evident.
Master Mu Quan seemed a bit uncomfortable, but he endured it.
Hesitating, he looked at Ding Jiujiang and Long Yunyun.
"My daughter and son-in-law, do they have some urgent matter today? Why haven't I seen them?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Jiujiang hurriedly explained with a smile.
"Don't worry, Hallmaster Mu. They're just not in the sect today, and they'll be back by tomorrow at the latest.
They didn't encounter any danger or trouble, so there's no need to worry about them."
Master Mu Quan glanced at Long Yunyun, his daughter, who didn't refute or ask further.
The group sat at a round table, eating dishes that were still quite exquisite.
In the eyes of Heaven Wind Valley, this hospitality should have been more than enough.
During the meal, Ding Jiujiang started asking some questions.
Everyone answered half-heartedly.
Halfway through the meal, Ding Jiujiang asked, "For this Sand Treasure Ground, are you all planning to take the outer ring path?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Feng immediately replied, "Hallmaster Ding is just joking. After traveling for so long, it's not just for the outer ring path of the Sand Treasure Ground.
The junior brothers and I are going to the inner ring path for training."
Su Chen and the other senior brothers were visiting for the first time, so they naturally didn't know the difference between the outer and inner ring paths.
But it was obvious that Ding Jiujiang was trying to trick them.
"The inner ring path can be quite dangerous, and it's quite different from the Mountain River Pool in Celestial Capital.
How about this, tomorrow you can go and take a look at the Sand Treasure Ground.
After seeing it, you can make your decision."
