Chapter 386: Lord Ren, Why Are You Still Here?
Chapter 386: Lord Ren, Why Are You Still Here?
On the afternoon of August 20, 2024, after Su Chen and Tan Kun finished their tasks, they returned to the bamboo tower.
During this process, Commander Qin Wei and the four Pavilion Masters accompanied them.
Tan Kun, who had been by Su Chen's side, was initially quite reserved.
In front of the mid-level leadership of the battle unit, he felt rather uncomfortable.
But after a day's journey, Tan Kun had relaxed significantly.
As they approached the bamboo tower, the others could see that Tan Kun's demeanor had become more natural.
And for Tan Kun, his admiration for Su Chen had grown tremendously.
The changes Su Chen brought about were astonishing.
Even without the presence of the commander and the others, the daily gains from demon slaying were enough to delight him.
Some of those living in the bamboo tower didn't know Su Chen well yet.
But they knew Tan Kun, and they were aware of his abilities and his background.
Regret filled their hearts.
Previously, so many people had surrounded Su Chen, hurling all sorts of unpleasant words at him.
What would have happened if they had sided with Su Chen back then?
Pang Ding, who had informed Ren Yanfei earlier, also saw the two of them returning in the crowd.
Tan Kun even pointed at him and said a few words to the commander standing beside him.
Qin Wei turned and said a few words to the other Pavilion Masters.
Soon after, Pang Ding was immediately taken away by the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall.
"Perhaps it's better to find you another courtyard. This one here, to be honest, is a bit..."
Looking at the bamboo tower's environment, even Qin Wei felt a bit embarrassed.
Su Chen was now the prized member of their Third Battle Team.
The evident changes in the canyon defense line were worth the commander's special treatment.
The other Pavilion Masters also had a good impression of Su Chen.
Compared to Ren Yanfei, Su Chen was indeed much better.
Ren Yanfei's indifferent attitude made everyone feel annoyed just thinking about it.
"Thank you, Commander. If you could find us a quieter courtyard, that would be best.
We'll manage for tonight, and deal with it for one more night."
Su Chen smiled and looked at the bamboo tower, no longer refusing.
After all, this bamboo tower was indeed not very comfortable.
The only thing worth mentioning was probably the good ventilation, but with winter approaching, even if Su Chen could endure the cold, the comfort level was significantly lower.
After delivering Su Chen and Tan Kun, Qin Wei and the Pavilion Masters left the bamboo tower.
They had come in the morning and were now leaving in the evening.
The status and position of Su Chen and Tan Kun were evident to the disciples living in the bamboo tower, even the most foolish could see it.
News about the canyon defense line continued to spread over the past two days.
More and more people had heard about it.
The previously arrogant and domineering Ren Yanfei seemed to be abandoned.
That night, Su Chen led the mid-level leadership of the battle unit to inspect the canyon, and the results they obtained were once again verified.
Unlike Ren Yanfei, who didn't allow others to follow him.
Su Chen didn't have so many rules and would even offer a few pointers to those around him.
He would explain why certain areas might be prone to demon attacks.
He discussed the tracks, scents, and remains of various sects, and what they represented.
Even those who had doubts about Su Chen found their skepticism dissipating after following him for a while.
Qin Wei's heart felt much more at ease.
At least for now, he didn't have to worry about the canyon defense line.
Another day passed.
Ren Yanfei, still waiting in his courtyard, grew increasingly anxious.
The battle unit had already spread the word, seeking to recruit others to test their abilities. They wanted to see how accurate the other disciples could be without Ren Yanfei's intervention and without Su Chen's assistance.
In the past, only Ren Yanfei had the authority to assign canyon exploration missions.
Now, the battle unit had directly bypassed him, giving others an opportunity to showcase themselves.
His disciples from the courtyard had already left without any notice, directly participating in the mission.
Ren Yanfei's heart was in complete disarray.
By the morning hour, he no longer possessed the arrogance he had before.
He brought two people with him and headed towards the battle unit camp.
Upon arriving at the camp, Ren Yanfei coincidentally encountered Commander Qin Wei.
"Commander, do you have business this early?"
Ren Yanfei felt that his attitude today was exceptionally polite.
Even when speaking with his own commander in the past, he would not have used such a tone.
Everyone could tell that Ren Yanfei's demeanor was unusually humble today.
"Hmm, what's the matter, Lord Ren?"
Qin Wei acted as if he knew nothing, casually asking.
"It's not a big deal, Commander. Since you've been away for a while, I wanted to chat with you."
Upon hearing these words, Qin Wei didn't even turn his head.
"I'm a bit busy right now, Lord Ren. If you have time later, wait a little."
"In the afternoon, I should be back."
"Commander, I just want to have a quick chat, Commander."
Ren Yanfei spoke, but Qin Wei ignored him and left.
Many people around the camp witnessed this scene.
From this moment on, more people realized what was happening.
The previously domineering Ren Yanfei was no longer being taken seriously.
If his past behavior hadn't been so arrogant, he might not have ended up in this situation.
With his character and actions, it was inevitable that countless people would take advantage of his downfall.
Ren Yanfei felt stifled in his heart; in the past, who would dare to speak to him like this?
Even the commander had always treated him politely.
But today, he was directly told to wait.
Even in his words, he was still being humble, not giving him any face.
Qin Wei wasn't worried at all that he would leave.
That attitude was clearly telling Ren Yanfei.
Stay if you want, leave if you wish.
After so many years, everyone should have had enough.
In the Third Battle Unit, there were probably many who wanted him gone.
At this early hour, Ren Yanfei thought for a moment but ultimately chose to stay here.
But from this moment on, Ren Yanfei had experienced the change in his status.
No one came to ask if he had eaten breakfast.
By noon, no one came to ask if he wanted lunch.
All morning, only one person came to speak to him.
"Lord Ren, please step aside, we only have three chairs here."
Although the tone was polite, they still addressed him as Lord Ren.
But the words held no respect for him.
Waiting in the camp, they didn't even keep a chair for him.
During this time, many people came and went in the camp.
And Ren Yanfei's physique was so eye-catching that anyone passing by couldn't help but glance a few times.
In the afternoon hour, Qin Wei finally returned with his men.
Along the way, they chatted and laughed, seeming to be in a good mood.
By Qin Wei's side, in addition to several hall masters, there were also Su Chen and Tan Kun.
Upon reaching the camp, Qin Wei feigned surprise.
"Hey? Lord Ren, why are you still waiting here?"
Seeing him standing there, Qin Wei turned to look at the camp's attendants.
"You too, how come you didn't prepare a chair for Lord Ren?"
Although he said this, it was just a passing remark, and no punishment was given.
