Chapter 371: I sense that my younger sister, Gu Wei, seems to have a favorable impression of Su Shidi as well.
The aura of a Transcendent Powerhouse should be incredibly clear in the presence of demonic beings.
To slay demons in the wilderness, they must not rest during their journey.
Without giving the demons time to react, they arrive before them and annihilate them.
For this mission, Taiwu Zhenren had already executed a similar task when he eliminated the Earth Demon.
He has everything under control.
Following the markings, the group began to venture deeper into the wilderness.
After roughly calculating the distance, they could slow down a little ahead.
As they got closer, their speed had to increase.
If it's true that three Celestial Demons are seeking a way to enter the Demon Emperor's realm, then this journey will undoubtedly put their lives at risk.
With so many people present, each one of them is a prominent figure in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But facing these dangers, no one seems to be backing down.
The various Sect Leaders and Elders present have stronger characters than most.
Some people become extremely afraid of death after reaching a certain level of strength.
But today, as they all ventured into the wilderness together, they seemed to have gained a bit more composure.
Even in the face of potential destruction, they advanced bravely.
At the forefront of the Cloud Yang Sect's defense line, Liu Xingwan's gaze kept falling on Su Chen. Her behavior naturally caught the attention of the Cloud Yang Sect's members.
There were still many matters to attend to within the Sect, and the Elders of the Cloud Yang Sect were not present at this moment.
Zhao Li, standing nearby, couldn't help but ask.
"Xingwan, why have you been staring at Su Chen like that ever since you returned from the wilderness?"
Hearing Zhao Li's question, Liu Xingwan finally snapped out of her thoughts.
"Is there something?"
"Yes, it's like you're about to stick to him if you keep pulling me along."
Hearing this, Liu Xingwan slightly restrained herself, no longer acting as she had just moments ago.
"You didn't rest last night, go and get some rest first."
The Sect Leader and the others would probably need a day or two to return.
Su Chen should be preparing to rest as well, and there's nothing else going on here, so go."
Liu Xingwan looked towards the not-too-distant Su Chen, who indeed seemed to be preparing to rest in another tent.
Watching Su Chen walk out of the central area, Liu Xingwan hesitated slightly before approaching Ouyang Chuan and Gu Feng.
Seeing Liu Xingwan approach, Gu Feng's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Fairy Liu, our two Sects are still in the cooperation stage. Is this the time to argue with us?"
If you have any issues with Su Shidi, wait for him to rest, and then come to argue later.
I, Ouyang, have no interest in accompanying you in this commotion."
Hearing Gu Feng's words, Liu Xingwan became annoyed.
With a serious expression, she stood before the two men, her face seemingly carrying a hint of apology.
"I apologize to both of you for the previous matters.
Over these past two years, we have distorted the facts and slandered you.
This time, we came to negotiate, but we, the Cloud Yang Sect, caused a ruckus and blocked you.
These things were our fault.
I, Liu Xingwan, may not represent the Cloud Yang Sect, but I can at least apologize on my own behalf.
Truly, I'm sorry."
Liu Xingwan's sudden words left Ouyang Chuan and Gu Feng stunned for a good while.
After a moment, the two glanced at each other, still unsure of the situation.
Xingwan's words were sincere, and her voice was not forced down.
Many people nearby heard this and turned to look.
Zhao Li, the Hall Master, quickly walked over.
Before she could speak, Liu Xingwan addressed her.
"Hall Master, I know what I'm doing.
We were wrong, and we need to apologize.
After this matter is concluded, I'll tell you everything exactly as it happened."
Hearing this, Zhao Li no longer insisted on pulling her away.
In her perception, Liu Xingwan had always been a reliable disciple.
Although she didn't quite understand at this moment, she chose to believe.
Gu Feng and Ouyang Chuan were left a bit bewildered by Xingwan's attitude.
Gu Feng tugged at Ouyang Chuan's robe, bringing him back to his senses.
"It's fine.
The misunderstanding is cleared up, and everything is in the past now."
We are all warriors of the Great Zhou, and we shouldn't bear grudges."
Ouyang Chuan wasn't sure what he was saying, but the words just slipped out.
After all, Mr. Ouyang never imagined that one day, a proud disciple of the Cloud Yang Sect would come to apologize before him.
Indeed, he was completely unprepared.
"Thank you, Senior Ouyang and Brother Gu, for your understanding. I also hope that the relationship between our two Sects will become closer in the future."
"Okay."
Ouyang Chuan and Gu Feng didn't know how to respond.
They were also puzzled by Xingwan's sudden change in attitude.
After apologizing, Xingwan began chatting casually with the two men.
The initially awkward atmosphere dissipated during their conversation.
With more communication, there were fewer misunderstandings and conflicts.
As they became more familiar, Xingwan started asking about the news she wanted to know.
"Senior Ouyang, have you been guiding Su Chen all this time?"
Hearing this, Ouyang Chuan shook his head slightly.
"This child was initially following Ji Sheng, and he almost got him into trouble.
When I first met him, I also had many misunderstandings about him.
It was only later that I realized my eyes had failed to see his true potential."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xingwan nodded thoughtfully.
"So, Tian Gang City initially had the same misconception as us, not realizing Su Chen's potential?"
"It's not your fault. You've been spreading rumors about Su Chen's poor character everywhere.
And that Xia Kun, from the very beginning, slandered Su Chen in front of us.
To truly understand Su Chen, it's natural that we'd need some time."
As Ouyang Chuan finished speaking, Gu Feng, sitting beside him, chimed in.
"How long has Su Shidi been in Yunyang Sect?
You've been there for over two years, yet you not only failed to recognize his potential but also slandered him.
In Tian Gang City, it should have taken less than half a year for us to notice Su Shidi's exceptional talent.
In this regard, you are far behind us."
Gu Feng's words were indeed accurate.
Under Tian Gang City's system, it's actually quite difficult for disciples to go unnoticed.
A disciple with ability and talent will undoubtedly be pursued by numerous teams.
The teams carrying out demon-slaying missions in Tian Gang City are not forcibly assigned by the sect.
It's challenging for a sect's disciples to remain hidden.
Liu Xingwan didn't argue with the two of them but instead started asking questions about herself.
"Senior Ouyang, Brother Gu, now that Su Chen has become famous, there must be many female disciples in Tian Gang City who admire him, right?"
"I think there are very few. Apart from Jin Luo, I don't see any female disciples showing obvious interest.
Most females are reserved, and they usually just think about it in their hearts.
Su Chen is already Heaven's Pride, and he performed excellently in the Mid-Year Tournament.
Most female disciples in the sect know that it's unlikely for them to be with Su Chen."
Upon hearing this, Gu Feng, who was sitting nearby, revealed a smile.
"I feel like my sister, Gu Wei, also seems to have a good impression of Su Shidi.
But my sister doesn't want to talk to me about many things these days.
I'm not sure what's on her mind.
If she really has feelings for Su Shidi, as her brother, I should help them get together."
Before Gu Feng could finish his sentence, Liu Xingwan's expression changed as she looked at him.
In an instant, her previous kindness seemed to have vanished.
She didn't look at him while speaking but instead directed her words to Ouyang Chuan beside her.
"Senior Ouyang, do you know who Su Chen is more inclined towards?"
"This, I really don't know. We're here to lead the disciples in their cultivation.
It's not like we can keep asking him who he likes every day. Besides, he's still young, and warriors don't usually marry so early."
Liu Xingwan nodded, having asked most of the questions she wanted to ask.
From this point on, Mr. Ouyang didn't have much more to say.
Since it was getting late, the conversation was coming to an end.
Liu Xingwan was also feeling a bit tired, so she found an excuse to leave and went back to her tent to rest.
All they could do now was wait.
Whatever was happening in the wilderness, they could only guess.
However, the news of Liu Xingwan's apology to Ouyang Chuan and the others had already reached the sect.
Sun Xuerong and the others were now aware of the situation.
But given the current circumstances, they couldn't come here to reprimand Liu Xingwan.
Su Chen had rested in his tent for over two hours, fully restoring his energy and stamina.
Since it was the middle of the night, Su Chen continued to rest in his tent.
His identity was now completely exposed in front of Liu Xingwan.
Su Chen didn't have any concerns in his heart.
Let the people from Yunyang Sect know what they want to know.
He didn't care if they still harbored ill intentions towards him.
He had offended a major power in Jin State, so he didn't need to worry about them.
Moreover, after enduring for so long, he had finally given himself a thorough explanation.
The title of a glory-seeker should be completely removed.
He had shared some of the truth with Liu Xingwan, and she would convey this to Yunyang Sect.
Now, it was up to Yunyang Sect to make their choice.
If they continued to slander him, he would use other methods to prove himself thoroughly.
But at that time, it might make them look bad.
As the Third Hour approached, Su Chen finally emerged from his tent and returned to the central tent.
It was still early, but there were already quite a few people in the central tent.
Not long after, Gu Feng and Ouyang Chuan also arrived.
They had a quick meal and then asked Su Chen about the situation.
Seeing that Su Chen seemed tired yesterday, Ouyang Chuan and Gu Feng didn't ask too many questions.
At this moment, combining Liu Xingwan's strange behavior from yesterday, the two of them definitely had a lot to ask.
First was why Liu Xingwan suddenly acted that way and why her attitude changed so abruptly.
Su Chen's answer was very direct.
He had saved her life.
This reason seemed quite convincing.
She was grateful for him saving her life, rescuing her from the demonic beings.
In fact, this life-saving grace did make Liu Xingwan grateful.
But it wasn't enough to shake her beliefs.
Mr. Ouyang also told Su Chen about Liu Xingwan's apology yesterday.
Su Chen was also surprised that Liu Xingwan would come to apologize in person so quickly.
Many people in high positions actually find it hard to lower themselves.
