Chapter 68: Praising Su Chen's Words, Eloquently
Seeing Su Chen's safe return, Wu Yi and his fellow senior brothers were relieved.
However, compared to the others, Wu Yi and his two senior brothers had faith in Su Chen.
"I knew Su Shidi would return safely. The last time he saved me, it was in the middle of the night, and it was even more dangerous than today. If there were no issues then, there's definitely no problem today."
Lin Tian spoke, and nowadays, he especially enjoyed praising Su Chen.
Wu Yi smiled and waved his hand, pushing Lin Tian away.
Then he began to inquire about the details of what happened in the dense forest.
Su Chen did not hide anything and recounted the entire process.
When they heard that it was the same Golden Demon, the faces of the few present grew more solemn.
"So these demonic brats are so clever, they even know to use Great Demons to help them capture people."
Many people underestimated the intelligence of demonic creatures.
But in reality, demons with the strength of Golden Demons were not as foolish as everyone thought.
They continued their conversation as they headed back.
On the other side.
After a brief rest, Ouyang Chuan gathered his disciples under his command.
The injured Jin Yue and Ran Ting, after treating their wounds, joined them.
Their injuries were not severe, but they did affect their muscles and bones, and they might need some time to heal.
Jin Yue began to recount what she had seen, heard, and experienced.
She shared her story with her fellow disciples.
As the disciples listened, many of them felt goosebumps.
When the Great Demon launched its surprise attack, the disciples witnessed the ferocity of those Great Demons.
Their bloodthirsty mouths, emitting a foul stench, were filled with sharp fangs.
Being bitten by those teeth was already considered good luck.
After Jin Yue finished speaking, Ran Ting continued the narrative.
Their experiences were similar, but there were also many differences.
Listening to their stories was truly chilling.
Ouyang Chuan sat patiently, listening and thinking.
He wanted his disciples to remember the lessons of today and be more cautious in the future.
In any sect, new disciples on the frontlines had the highest mortality rate.
Only by remembering these lessons and being thoroughly vigilant could they survive in the wilderness.
After the two finished speaking, Ouyang Chuan began to elaborate.
It must be said that Ouyang Chuan was indeed a responsible instructor.
No wonder Wu Yi had initially recommended Su Chen to be under his command.
Ouyang Chuan took this opportunity to analyze the dangers of the wilderness based on Jin Yue and Ran Ting's experiences, pointing out what they did right and wrong.
"When dragged into the wilderness by demonic creatures, it's often a situation where even gods struggle to save you! Jin Yue and Ran Ting, your first mistake was not doing your utmost to prevent yourselves from being dragged into the wilderness."
Ouyang Chuan spoke with a solemn expression.
"Although both of you returned safely, the fact that you were dragged into the wilderness is the biggest mistake.
No matter how painful or difficult it is, you should never allow demonic creatures to drag you into the wilderness!"
The gathered disciples nodded in agreement.
"This time, you two were lucky to have Su Chen, your Su Shixiong, who was willing to risk his life to save you.
If we hadn't met him today, I can tell you directly that I had already chosen to give up.
After being dragged into the wilderness, I quickly lost track of your whereabouts.
If it weren't for Su Chen, a disciple extremely skilled in observing demonic traces, you two would not have survived today."
Among the disciples present, everyone knew that Su Chen had participated in this rescue mission.
But hearing Ouyang Chuan speak of Su Chen in this manner still felt a little unnatural.
Following this, Ouyang Chuan continued to impart his wisdom.
Including the techniques he had learned from Su Chen, he shared them with his own disciples.
After a long conversation, more than half an hour had passed.
The disciples present at today's lesson would likely never forget it for the rest of their lives.
When they next ventured into the wilderness, they would be more vigilant and cautious than anyone else.
Having said everything he needed to say, Ouyang Chuan looked at the crowd and asked.
"If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask."
The few disciples in front of him glanced at each other, and one of them, with considerable courage, slowly stood up.
"Sir, did Su Chen really try to steal credit for others' work?"
Hearing this, Jin Yue, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but interrupt.
"Brother Shu Zhen, Su Chen entered Tian'gang City in the same year as us, and he is slightly older than us.
According to the rules, we should address him as 'Senior Brother' and not call him by his name directly."
Jin Yue's tone was gentle, but her expression was stern.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Chuan nodded.
"According to the rules, you should indeed address him as 'Senior Brother.'"
After saying this, he began to answer the disciple's question.
"To be honest, even now, I can't guarantee that he definitely didn't try to steal credit.
After all, the fact that he outperformed Liu Xingwan in the demon-slaying campaign is a bit too impressive.
But today, in the dense forest, I gained a very different understanding of Su Chen.
He has a firm and resilient character, and he is calm and composed.
His research on demonic traces is profound.
He is honest and principled, brave yet wise.
In just half a day of interaction, I truly saw his exceptional qualities.
Previously, when we mentioned Su Chen, we suspected that the abilities he displayed were fake.
But now, I can confirm that he is indeed the real deal."
At this moment, Ouyang Chuan felt that his attitude towards Su Chen had completely changed.
When he spoke of praising Su Chen, his words flowed like pearls.
"From his experience in the wilderness, it's clear that Su Chen frequently carried out reconnaissance missions in Yunyang Sect.
Many methods and techniques that we elders are unaware of, he knows them like the back of his hand.
I can't confirm the real situation for now, but based on my personal impression.
Su Chen might not have tried to steal credit, and there might have been some misunderstanding."
Ouyang Chuan himself probably didn't expect this.
His opinion of Su Chen had undergone such a significant change in just one day.
Venturing deep into the wilderness and successfully rescuing someone had truly shown his exceptional abilities.
Furthermore, many of the rumors he had heard about Su Chen had been proven true.
Su Chen indeed possessed unique abilities in observing demonic traces.
Ouyang Chuan had witnessed this himself.
Additionally, the rumors claimed that Su Chen often undertook reconnaissance missions.
Reconnaissance missions were extremely dangerous in every sect.
They were also the missions that contributed the most to one's merit.
When Ouyang Chuan heard these rumors, he assumed that Su Chen was taking credit for others' work.
Reconnaissance missions offered a lot of merit, and cases of stealing credit often occurred during these missions.
But this time, after slaying demons and rescuing people with Su Chen, I believe he has the capability to earn that merit.
He participated in reconnaissance missions and should receive the majority of the credit.
Even if he was with me, a Fifth Rank Snow Intention Realm cultivator.
I believe the main credit for this mission should go to Su Chen."
