Chapter 337: But Looking at Su Chen's Face, These Words Were Hard to Say Out Loud
At this moment, Long Yunyun was standing on the inner bridge, chatting with her senior and junior sect members.
In front of her fellow sect members, Long Yunyun had completely transformed.
Her smile was radiant, and her tone and demeanor had become much gentler.
This was a side of her that had never been seen before by Su Chen and his group.
The proud and aloof attitude she usually displayed was only reserved for Su Chen and his companions.
Su Chen even felt that Long Yunyun was acting somewhat obsequious towards her fellow sect members from the Heavenly Wind Valley.
Seeing this, Su Chen, Gu Feng, and the other senior sect members couldn't help but chuckle.
They all understood Long Yunyun's true nature.
Su Chen and the senior sect members wanted to leave immediately.
But seeing that Master Mu couldn't bear to part with her, his old eyes remained fixed on Long Yunyun.
They could only endure and wait a little longer.
Perhaps it was a grandparent's love for their granddaughter.
On the inner bridge, the Heavenly Wind Valley disciples chatted for a while before turning their attention towards Su Chen's group.
"Junior Sister Yunyun, are these the people from Heavenly Pole City?" asked a female disciple.
In front of Long Yunyun, she seemed to have an air of arrogance.
"Senior Sister Ren, I only have some connection with Heavenly Pole City, but I'm not from there," Long Yunyun quickly explained.
"Oh, then I must have spoken too soon," the female disciple named Ren Xi said.
"Didn't the sect ask you and Master Ding to talk to them and lead them to the outer ring path? How did they end up here?" She glanced at Su Chen's group and asked casually.
"Master Mu asked me to show them around this place.
They lack experience and don't know the dangers here.
By letting them see more, they'll be more convinced," Long Yunyun replied with a serious attitude, appearing much more honest in front of her fellow sect members.
She seemed to be trying her best to display a well-mannered and knowledgeable demeanor.
"Alright, after you're done with them, come to our courtyard.
My brother said he might be going to Jin State soon and wants to learn about the situation there.
Junior Sister Yunyun, prepare yourself, and chat with him when the time comes.
Remember to prepare in advance, or you might be clueless when the time comes.
My brother has a good temper, but I can be quite harsh."
Before Ren Xi could finish her sentence, Master Mu, standing nearby, walked up with a stern gaze.
"Between fellow sect members, your manner of speaking seems inappropriate.
Are you asking Yunyun for a favor, and is this the attitude you have when asking for help?"
Master Mu seemed slightly displeased, immediately defending his granddaughter.
But before he could finish his sentence, Long Yunyun interrupted him.
"Shut up! Do you think people from Heavenly Pole City have the right to speak here?
Why do I always run into you guys and have such bad luck?"
Long Yunyun scolded Master Mu, her own grandfather, directly in front of Su Chen and the others.
Seeing this, Su Chen and the senior sect members wanted to step in.
"Yunyun, your grandfather is trying to help you," one of them said.
"If you want to help me, then make them stop being stubborn and go to the outer ring path.
The inner ring path of Sand Treasure Ground isn't a place they should venture into.
You say you're doing this for my sake, but what have you ever done for me?"
Long Yunyun rebuked them harshly.
Her attitude towards Master Mu and Ren Xi was completely different from how she spoke to Su Chen and the others.
Gu Feng and Su Chen watched as Long Yunyun became agitated.
Master Mu was just a branch head in the Yunyang Sect, while Su Chen and Gu Feng were core disciples of Heavenly Pole City.
In the future, they would likely become elders of the city, representing its future.
Even if Master Mu genuinely wanted to help Long Yunyun, he had no right to make Su Chen and Gu Feng suffer.
Seeing this, Ren Xi's smile became even brighter.
"Old man, before your granddaughter came, I've said many harsh words to her, yet she still wanted to come to our courtyard.
Today, I invited her, and she was overjoyed.
If I take back my invitation now, she might hold a grudge against you for a year or more."
Master Mu looked up at Long Yunyun, his face showing a hint of confusion.
"Old man, remember that my brother's name is Ren Xiuyao.
It's her good fortune that my brother wants to talk to her."
After speaking, Ren Xi's gaze shifted back to Long Yunyun.
"This year, the inner ring path qualifications are quite competitive, and there are limited spots.
My brother still needs a few more spots, so hurry up and take care of it, or you might not be able to handle it later."
With that, Ren Xi left with a smile.
The others also had smiles on their faces, a mix of amusement and other emotions.
After they left, Gu Feng let out another soft hum.
"Ren Xiuyao? Who's that? I've never heard of him."
Hearing Gu Feng's words, Long Yunyun became agitated again.
"With your limited knowledge, it's no surprise you've never heard of him.
While you were struggling in the outer ring path, Ren Xiuyao might have already exited the inner ring path.
Just know that he's several times more outstanding than you, and..."
Long Yunyun had wanted to say more, that Ren Xiuyao was several times more handsome than the others.
But looking at Su Chen's face, she couldn't bring herself to say those words.
Hearing this, Su Chen and the others actually understood.
"In short, he's just a man you admire.
No wonder you act so subservient in front of others' younger sisters.
But if nothing unexpected happens, this person surnamed Ren probably doesn't care about you at all.
If he had even the slightest interest in you, he wouldn't let you suffer like this."
Su Chen glanced at the senior brother beside her, who was quite good at speaking.
His words were like knives, constantly stabbing at Long Yunyun.
As soon as these words were spoken, Long Yunyun's face indeed became a little ugly.
She glared at everyone, hating them all.
"If I didn't have some connection with Tian Gang Cheng, why would Ren Shi be so indifferent to me?
Since I was young, Tian Gang Cheng has only brought me trouble.
The fellow disciples in the valley all have prejudices against me because of you!"
Hearing Long Yunyun's words, Su Chen understood even more.
"They look down on you because you look down on yourself.
It's because you consider yourself inferior, bowing and scraping before others, acting subservient.
It's also because of your attitude that the people of Tian Feng Valley have become more arrogant towards Tian Gang Cheng.
You might be standing, but your heart has always been kneeling.
If you're not being stepped on, that's even stranger.
Also, I want to remind you.
If you think that Tian Gang Cheng has only brought you trouble, you should have refused the Shan He Chi qualification last year."
Su Chen's words actually struck at the heart of the matter.
But for Long Yunyun, she couldn't listen to it.
To be precise, no matter how reasonable the words of the Tian Gang Cheng cultivators were, she believed they were wrong.
"I'm too lazy to argue with you."
After saying this, Long Yunyun turned her gaze back to Master Mu.
"If you still want me to call you 'Grandpa,' then this time, I'll choose the outer ring path for the entire journey.
Putting aside these issues, they're not suitable for training on the inner ring path.
Even if they obtain the qualification, they'll only be left far behind by my other fellow disciples."
After hearing these words, the senior brother beside her immediately responded in a strange tone.
"Yes, yes, yes, we're all mediocre.
How can we compare to the man in your heart?"
Facing this strange tone, Long Yunyun glared at him again.
"You're thinking too highly of yourselves. You're not even worthy of being compared to Ren Shi, and even my other fellow disciples can easily surpass you!"
After saying this, Long Yunyun stopped arguing and directly left the mountain cave where the inner ring path was located.
She seemed quite confident, believing that Master Mu would handle the others for her.
But she didn't consider that her grandfather was just the head of Tian Gang Cheng, not the sect master.
Moreover, the qualification for the training ground was obtained through a trade with Tian Gang Cheng, not given by Tian Feng Valley.
Tian Gang Cheng even provided more qualifications than needed.
Given this, why should she go to the outer ring path for training?
Long Yunyun still thought too highly of herself, believing that Tian Gang Cheng was begging for her recognition.
After Long Yunyun left, Su Chen and Gu Feng looked at Master Mu.
"Don't worry, this old man knows what's more important.
This child has already lost her way in Tian Feng Valley."
Master Mu's heart still leaned more towards Tian Gang Cheng.
This was already evident when Long Yunyun visited Tian Gang Cheng last year.
With the people from Tian Feng Valley gone, Su Chen and the senior brothers decided to stay here a little longer.
They walked onto the inner bridge and looked at the turbulent flow of muddy sand below.
"When the training ground officially opens, there will be a powerful pressure restricting the area.
Entering this place might truly be dangerous."
Gu Feng reminded them softly.
The senior brothers beside him heard this and smiled.
"If we're afraid of danger, we might as well stay in the sect's backyard every day.
Choosing the path of cultivation means constantly facing danger."
"The more you fear danger, the more dangerous your future will be.
Since we're here, what's there to fear?"
Everyone present agreed that they should go to the training ground.
Su Chen carefully examined the cave, and then they went up to take a look.
The inner ring path was called the 'Circular Path' because of its spiral-descending layout.
The training on the inner ring path seemed to start near the inner bridge and spiral upwards.
The cave's location was above the canyon.
Su Chen and the senior brothers went to the top of the canyon, where the muddy river flowed.
At the point of impact, a funnel-shaped terrain had formed.
Those participating in the inner ring path training would start from the bottom and eventually reach the top of the canyon.
Even before the official start of the training, they could already sense the dangers within.
After observing the situation, everyone prepared to return to their temporary lodgings.
Meanwhile, news finally arrived that Mu Dan Ying would return tonight.
Master Mu's daughter-in-law, Aunt Mu, finally appeared.
