Chapter 50: Yunyang Sect Retreats from the Front LineWhen people reach a certain age, they become nostalgic.
If A Niang were to live in a different place, she would need to get used to it again and get to know other people again.
And it was indeed as my mother said, my ancestors and father were buried in the back mountain.
During festivals, people also go to burn incense and pay tribute.
My roots are here and I don't want to leave.
“My mother is old, and perhaps it is indeed difficult for her to live in Jiang’an City.
But compared to before, it’s much better.
We moved into the city and no longer had to live in fear every night.
Since there is no work to do in the city, we can also do some handicrafts at home.
Let others think what they want and how they treat us.
We just live our own lives.”
Su Chen knew that he couldn't persuade his mother, and he had actually thought of all this before he said this.
I'm just saying it to try my luck.
"It's okay not to move, but you and my little sister, mother, should not be too frugal in the future.
In recent times, you must be avoiding buying things if you can.
They sold our house for a high price, so my mother was reluctant to let it go."
Seeing that A Niang wanted to explain, Su Chen waved his hand and continued speaking.
“I am on the front line of Tiangang City, and I may often face the threat of monsters.
If my mother and younger sister continue to be like this, I will be worried every day.
If you feel uneasy, you may run into danger at any time."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, you are saying something unlucky.
You must be safe and take care of your own safety."
When A Niang heard Su Chen's words, even though it was just a joke, she was still shocked.
"Mother, please think of this as something good for me and stop being so frugal.
The money I brought back home was originally meant for you and my younger sister, and saving it won’t help in hatching eggs.
As for getting married, mother, don't be in a hurry.
I still have this bad reputation, which girl from a good family would be willing to marry me?"
When Su Chen heard this, his mother and younger sister both smiled.
"That's not necessarily true, you are good-looking, there must be girls who would like you for your looks.
If you don't believe me, I'll spread the word tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Su Chen waved his hands repeatedly.
I really haven't thought about this matter yet.
The family gathered together, made some side dishes, and ate them along with the cooked dishes that Su Chen bought.
The time spent with my family is really happy and comfortable.
But for Su Chen, the goal in his heart became more and more determined.
The Yunyang Sect falsely accused him of being greedy for credit, not to mention the impact it had on him.
I can endure all the harsh treatment I received in Tiangang City.
But his mother and younger sister were also innocently implicated.
If I really acted greedily to gain credit, I will accept the consequences.
However, everything I endured was slandered.
After resting at home for three days, Su Chen was ready to leave for the front line.
During these three days, I also felt the attitude of the people around me towards my family.
If they were not reluctant to spend the money, and really offered double the price, they would never be willing to sell things to my family.
Su Chen now feels it is increasingly important to clear up the stigma on himself.
There is also a greater desire for strength in my heart.
Accompanied by his mother and younger sister, Su Chen headed to the front line of Tiangang City.
This period of time.
There was a big commotion in the Yunyang Sect.
The number of disciples on duty at night in the Yunyang Sect has doubled. The Yunyang Sect, which is 100 miles away from being demon-free, is now attacked by demons.
Although there were many powerful people in the Yunyang Sect, these little monsters did not cause much trouble.
But for the Yunyang Sect, it was already embarrassing enough.
Moreover, in the past two years, disciples and hall masters from other sects often came to Yunyang Sect.
I want to learn the Yunyang Sect’s methods and strategies for dealing with monsters.
But now, after these people came here, they were no longer studying.
I was just watching a joke.
The Yunyang Sect did not suppress the news.
The main reason is that it cannot be suppressed and it should have been spread out by these people long ago.
After this commotion, all the scout disciples in the Yunyang Sect were re-examined.
The assessment will be conducted by the hall master or even the elders.
I asked in detail about the responses during the investigation and the various methods and strategies.
The result shocked the Yunyang Sect.
Among so many disciples, only two barely qualified.
The others even seem like amateurs.
Many of these disciples were even praised by the sect last year.
The sect also gave them generous rewards for risking their lives to find out the information.
Looking back now, calling these disciples good-for-nothings might be a compliment to them.
After three days of interrogation, Sun Xuerong was filled with anger.
Later, when she saw that the disciples were unable to answer the questions and were hesitant, she even started to curse at them.
Those disciples who had received rewards from the sect were not only asked to return them, but their contribution points were also significantly deducted.
After the review, the sect’s top leaders organized another meeting.
True Man Taiwu did not go out again this year and has been staying in Yunyang Sect.
It would be impossible for him to travel again unless this troublesome matter was resolved.
"Last night, more than ten monsters attacked the sect.
But this time everyone reacted quickly and it didn't cause any impact.
It was only after Hall Master Ying Hua took over the sect's defense that things became somewhat more stable."
Just after hearing this, Master Taiwu still frowned.
“The sect has been harassed by monsters all the time, and the front line has completely lost its meaning.
Let's withdraw the defense line. The front line is too far away from the sect now, and it is difficult to convey various supply instructions.
Since it is meaningless, there is no need to persist. "
No one spoke.
It took more than two years to finally push the front line to that position.
Such feats were often mentioned and praised by the people during the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But now, I have to give it back.
I feel unwilling, but what can I do?
The Yunyang Sect is now facing these troubles. If they don’t deal with them well, it may even cause greater impact.
Moreover, since the leader of our clan has said so, naturally others have no other opinions.
Seeing that no one had anything else to add, the fifth elder Sun Xuerong stood up and began to report on her affairs for the day.
“During these three days of investigation, the sect’s investigation of the disciples has revealed more problems than we imagined.
Many disciples don't even know the most basic responses.
As an exploration disciple, I am responsible for the habits of monsters and the identification of their traces.
They have only a vague understanding of these core contents, and some disciples even talk nonsense.
Many of them even received many awards last year.
If it weren’t for this review, we elders would still think they are top elites.”
Sun Xuerong's words made the expressions of everyone present even more serious.
“Fortunately, these problems only occur among the investigating disciples.
The other disciples are still talented and knowledgeable. "
