Chapter 392: Wang Shanlin's Decision
Chapter 392: Wang Shanlin's Decision
In the camp, the news had already reached Su Chen.
"Brother Su, the cause of this matter is still with me. If I hadn't called my sister over, there wouldn't be so much trouble. The First Battle Team and we have never gotten along, and with Team Leader Wang coming, you would definitely be at a disadvantage if you went. Brother Su, please avoid the limelight for now, and let me go today," Tan Kun said as he turned to leave.
However, Su Chen raised his hand and pulled Tan Kun back. "If it were really possible to resolve the issue with you stepping forward, they wouldn't have called my name. You go notify Team Leader Qin, and I'll go take a look."
Su Chen was aware of the potential crisis he might face. This was the camp of the Third Battle Team, and the team leader was not present. However, several hall masters were in the camp. Would the team leader of the First Battle Team, no matter how arrogant, dare to take action against him in front of these people?
Without much hesitation, Su Chen walked out of the camp. When he saw Su Chen, Hu Xingyi's face broke into a sly smile, mixed with a sense of triumph, as if showing off his abilities. "Young Master, is this the person?" Gong Shu, standing beside him, asked.
Hu Xingyi nodded, and his sly smile seemed to grow even wider. "Elder Wang, please uphold justice for us. This foolish evil-doer dared to attack our Young Master."
Wang Shanlin, the team leader of the First Battle Team, gazed at Su Chen. "Let's find a quiet place to talk. This place is too crowded. We can find an empty tent in your camp."
Wang Shanlin walked into the Third Battle Team's camp and found an empty tent. Hu Xingyi and Gong Shu followed him, their eyes fixed on Su Chen. The old man, Gong Shu, looked at Su Chen with a hint of disdain.
Many people in the Third Battle Team were nervous, and some even ran to the front line to notify their team leader. Su Chen hesitated for a moment before following them into the tent.
"Suzi, wait, let's wait for the team leader," some of the hall masters warned, but Su Chen just smiled and followed them in.
"Elder Wang, our Young Master's injuries are not light. We cannot accept the idea of 'harmony is precious.' Our master would not agree with this either. Please, Elder Wang, uphold justice fairly," Gong Shu said, concerned that Wang Shanlin might downplay the situation.
Wang Shanlin replied, "Rest assured, I have no interest in mediating a peaceful resolution." He then turned to Su Chen and asked, "You're Su Xing, right?"
Su Chen nodded, unsure of Wang Shanlin's intentions, and remained cautious.
"I know you, and I've arranged for someone to investigate you. You're quite impressive in handling demonic creatures, much better than I, an elder. The Third Battle Team's defense line has been very stable, and I, as the team leader, am truly envious. How about joining our First Battle Team?"
Wang Shanlin's words caught everyone in the tent off guard, including Su Chen, who did not expect the team leader to be so friendly and inviting. Before Su Chen could respond, Gong Shu interrupted, "Elder Wang, have you been drinking too much? You're talking about inviting this person who injured our Young Master? Are you trying to show bias towards him?"
"If our Young Master were to find out, do you think you could handle the consequences?"
Before the words had even finished leaving his mouth, this Gong Shu was already slapped across the face.
His face was marked with a fresh, red handprint.
"You, a mere slave of an Elder, who do you think you are to speak to me like this?"
Hu Xingyi, standing nearby, was completely dumbfounded by this turn of events.
He had thought that Wang Shanlin was on their side.
"Wang... Wang Elder..."
After a while, Gong Shu finally came to his senses, looking at Wang Shanlin with disbelief.
"Our Young Master is an Elder of the sect."
Wang Shanlin let out a soft snort.
"You talk as if anyone isn't an Elder of the Ta He Sect. Am I, Wang Shanlin, really inferior to Elder Hu?"
Moreover, the reason Elder Hu was able to become an Elder was mainly due to his old age. Look at him, does he even have any real power?"
As he spoke, Wang Shanlin shifted his gaze to Hu Xingyi, who was standing beside him.
"Hu Xingyi, do you think the sect is unaware of your reckless behavior? If I teach you a lesson, not only will the sect not blame me, but they'll even praise me for doing the right thing."
After saying all this, Wang Shanlin no longer paid them any attention.
He turned to Su Chen and continued their conversation.
"When you usually pass through our First Battle Team's defenses during your explorations, you must have noticed the chaos there, right?"
Su Chen felt that the current issue was mainly concentrated in one area. Over this period of time, the defenses were indeed in disarray.
Wang Shanlin's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he wanted to hear Su Chen's opinion.
But upon hearing this, Su Chen's face showed even more confusion.
"Elder Wang, is your First Battle Team's defense really in chaos? I thought it was intentionally arranged to leave a loophole for the demons near the canyon. If the defense is truly in disarray, then Commander Wang will have many issues to address, especially with his disciples. They might not be following orders anymore. If this is the case, Commander Wang might need to spend a lot of effort to sort things out."
As Su Chen finished speaking, Wang Shanlin's smile grew even wider.
"They didn't lie; you really do have something special. The current loopholes in the defense are deliberately arranged by me. Your Third Battle Team has been causing trouble for the demons, and those beasts are starting to flee towards our defenses. Since that's the case, I'll give them some loopholes and deal them a big blow."
The more Wang Shanlin spoke, the more impressed he was with Su Chen.
"How about it, what do you think of our First Battle Team? It's much better than where you are now, and the resources I can provide are definitely better than what you have here. Even joining the Ta He Sect wouldn't be a problem."
These words put Su Chen in a difficult position.
"Elder, I already have a sect, so joining the Ta He Sect is not possible. Additionally, I can't just abandon the Third Battle Team. If you need me, I can visit the canyon area of the First Battle Team every three days."
Wang Shanlin thought for a moment and nodded in satisfaction.
"That's fine too. Let's work together for a while and see how it goes."
After saying this, Wang Shanlin's gaze shifted back to Hu Xingyi, who was standing beside him, as well as Gong Shu.
They had thought that Wang Shanlin was there to help them vent their anger.
But who would have thought that Wang Shanlin was there to win Su Chen over.
This Gong Shu had always thought he was invincible.
Qin Wei wasn't a member of the Ta He Sect; he only had a cooperative relationship with them, so it wasn't appropriate for him to take action against Gong Shu.
But Wang Shanlin, standing before them, was a genuine Elder of the Ta He Sect.
"Hu Xingyi is in this state today, and you, as his shameless slave, bear a large responsibility. Today, you've committed a grave mistake, so come with me."
With that, Wang Shanlin grabbed Gong Shu and left.
