Chapter 326 means that Su Chen is deliberately concealing his talent and potential for fear that we will take him seriously?Being able to reach the position of sect leader, how could Master Taiwu not know what they were thinking?
He arrived nearly a day later than usual, and chose to return to the sect late at night.
You can guess the idea at a glance.
Faced with Master Taiwu's questioning, everyone present remained silent.
Zhao Li also lowered her head unconsciously.
As the head of the Yunyang Sect, she had rarely been scolded like this in all these years.
Actually, it’s not Zhao Li’s fault that she encountered these situations this time.
Su Chen's behavior was not something she could control.
But after all, she is the leader of the team and she must be responsible for this.
"Where's Sun Xuerong?"
In the past, Master Taiwu would always call them the Five Elders no matter what the occasion.
But at this moment, he began to call him by his name.
Just call Sun Xuerong.
"The Fifth Elder did not come with us. She left first."
Zhao Li replied softly.
At the moment, it seems that Sun Xuerong can drag on longer than most.
Hasn't come back yet.
“Well, it seems that your five elders are also on their way back to help the people get rid of the monsters.
Then let's wait a little longer.
When she comes back, we will discuss it in detail."
After Master Taiwu finished speaking, his eyes turned to Liu Xingwan next to him.
“Xingwan, you go back first, you still have to prepare for the Mingying battlefield.
You are tired from all the traveling, go and have a rest."
Towards Liu Xingwan, Master Taiwu seemed to have suppressed his anger.
Even though he was so angry, he still gave Liu Xingwan a good look.
Hearing this, Liu Xingwan shook his head slightly.
"I also went to the mid-year competition this time. Master, I may know more about what you want to ask."
Liu Xingwan is much more considerate than Fu Jianyun.
She knew that in the current situation, only she and Fu Jianyun could persuade Master Taiwu to some extent.
When my master comes back, if she is still there, she can at least persuade the sect master.
She didn't try to persuade him or say anything nice.
Sun Xuerong didn’t know how she would be scolded.
Upon hearing this, Master Taiwu did not say anything else.
So many people were waiting in the side hall.
No one said much, everyone waited silently in the side hall.
It was getting light outside.
Compared to the sect's fast news dissemination channels, other news channels are slower.
But this is slow, only three or four days at most.
What's more, such a major event as the capital's mid-year competition will attract special attention from the disciples of the Yunyang Sect.
If nothing unexpected happens, the news of the mid-year competition will surely spread widely to the Yunyang Sect today.
Many disciples are accustomed to going to the rear-line cities to learn more.
In the rear-line cities, the news will be known to everyone today.
It was almost noon when an attendant came to report.
Sun Xuerong is back.
At the door of the side hall, Sun Xuerong hesitated for a moment before walking into the side hall.
"Fifth Elder, you've worked hard along the way. You must have encountered a lot of trouble, right?"
Taoist Taiwu looked at Sun Xuerong with a cold tone.
Sun Xuerong was the same as everyone else. In fact, they didn't expect that Master Taiwu and his men would be waiting in the side hall.
"Master, what are you doing?"
"You are the fifth elder of the Yunyang Sect. The sect wants to discuss some important matters. How can you not be present?"
Sun Xuerong didn't know how to speak after hearing the cold reply from Taiwu Zhenren. In this situation, no matter what she said, she would not get a favorable response from Taiwu Zhenren.
Seeing that she had returned, Master Taiwu no longer delayed waiting.
"Who can tell this Sect Master what the results of the mid-year competition show?
Hall Master Zhao, Elder Sun, and this sect leader should analyze the situation.
How did a disciple who gained fame through flattery and boasting win over Wen Yuanlang?
Did he get a peerless magic weapon?
Or maybe there are some top-notch elixirs in Tiangang City.
After taking it, it is not only a bluff, but can even quickly improve your strength?"
Master Taiwu said this but received no response.
This mid-year test was conducted by disciples sent by the Yunyang Sect itself.
Last year he could still argue that it was Linhai Mansion's problem, but now, he is thinking that his own disciples from Yunyang Sect are the traitors?
"Isn't the Fifth Elder usually quite eloquent?
Why don't you say a word today?"
Taoist Taiwu asked repeatedly, his gaze mainly on Sun Xuerong.
He was also very clear that the culprit in this incident was Sun Xuerong.
In the side hall, only the questioning of Master Taiwu could be heard.
But no one answered his question.
After a long time, Master Taiwu continued to ask.
"Fifth Elder, do you still remember your evaluation of Su Chen?
He is greedy for credit, has a bad character, and has no natural ability.
Analyze with me, how did you see that he has no talent or ability?
This sect master would like to ask you, have you really understood this Su Chen?
Is it possible for a disciple with no talent to reach this point in more than two years?"
Sun Xuerong raised her head slightly. She seemed to have something to say, but after hesitating for a moment, she swallowed it all back.
But this small action was clearly seen by Master Taiwu.
“If the Fifth Elder has anything to say, it’s best to just say it.
This is to prevent me from complaining about the injustice when I punish you later.
Now, you have a chance to explain yourself.”
Taoist Taiwu walked to the side, picked up a cup of tea and drank it.
There were some tea leaves in the cup, which Taiwu Zhenren chewed and swallowed directly.
Master Taiwu, who has always been very meticulous, has become rough today.
“Although I didn’t go to the mid-year competition this time, I can probably foresee what the situation will be like then.
Just thinking about it makes my face feel hot.
I don’t know what other sects said about us at that time.
The competition system of the mid-year competition was promoted by our Yunyang Sect, and it was us who did everything possible to force Su Chen to come to the capital to participate in the competition.
Now think about it, funny?
When Master Shangxuan and his companions learned about this, I don’t know how many times they laughed at us behind our backs.
I have lost all my face.”
After Master Taiwu finished his words, the focus immediately fell on Sun Xuerong.
"I wonder how the Fifth Elder feels about coming to the capital this time?
Logically speaking, seeing it with one's own eyes should be much more profound than what I feel.
Come on, we have been waiting here all this time, aren't we just trying to hear what the Fifth Elder has to say?"
After being questioned repeatedly by Master Taiwu, Sun Xuerong finally seemed unable to bear it anymore.
“Sect Master, when we drove Su Chen away, his performance was indeed very average.
He stayed in Yunyang Sect for quite a while.
The talent potential shown is indeed very poor."
Upon hearing this explanation, Master Taiwu chuckled.
“I see, the Fifth Elder has made it very clear and direct.
That is to say, Su Chen deliberately concealed his talent and potential for fear that we would pay attention to him.
You are afraid of standing out in our Yunyang Sect, right?"
