The central tent is large and the middle is a 25-foot-long square table, which is specially designed for meetings.
The seating arrangement on the square table actually represents the status of each family.
The people from the Qiu family naturally sat at the top.
Qiu Ruoshuang sat on the right side of Qiu Xingtian.
There was nothing strange about these seating arrangements, and no one had any objections.
But on Qiu Ruoshuang's right side, the person sitting was Su Chen.
Seeing that Su Chen actually came here to attend this meeting, many powerful people from the sects were stunned.
After coming to his senses, his face was full of coldness and contempt.
In the central tent, some people chose a suitable spot to sit down.
The forces represented by these people are actually a statement.
They expressed their complete submission to the Qiu family.
Even though the Qiu family brought a young man and asked him to participate in the meeting, they still expressed their agreement.
At least they didn't openly oppose it.
After about half a quarter of an hour, those who were willing to sit down had already sat down.
In the central tent, there were seven powerful men from various sects standing aside.
His face was cold and he said nothing, just looking at Qiu Xingtian.
Seeing this, Su Chen looked at Qiu Ruoshuang beside him.
Then he stood up and prepared to change seats.
Sitting next to her, this position is too far forward.
How could they bear it when facing the powerful people from the major sects present?
When he stood up, Qiu Ruoshuang beside him gently pulled Su Chen's sleeve.
This small action made it even more difficult for people around to accept.
This shows that the relationship between Qiu Ruoshuang and Su Chen may be closer than they thought.
Among so many people present, there should be no one who wants the two of them to get closer.
Many sects are still waiting for their young talents to come and establish a close relationship with Qiu Ruoshuang.
Now Su Chen and Qiu Ruoshuang are so close.
Even this kind of high-level meeting called Su Chen in.
This is obviously an attempt to take credit and gain fame for Su Chen.
This kind of behavior is not uncommon in this world.
This kind of situation occurs more often especially in many large sects and even in the royal families of various countries.
The abilities of the royal princes have not yet been recognized by the court and many forces.
In certain actions, they will be asked to come forward and solve the problem together with others.
In the end, it's just about gaining credit.
If you have made achievements and have a reputation, and succeed to some high position, there won't be so much gossip.
The strong men from various sects looked at this scene and subconsciously thought of these.
Letting Su Chen come in would help him gain credit.
Could it be that Qiu Ruoshuang really wanted to recruit him as the son-in-law of the Qiu family?
They absolutely cannot accept this situation.
It didn’t matter that the disciples under his command didn’t get close to Qiu Ruoshuang.
But the Qiu family cannot have such a son-in-law.
While hesitating, he just stood there stubbornly to prevent these people from gossiping anymore.
Su Chen has moved to the seat at the bottom.
Just seeing this scene, the few elders who had not sat down still did not sit down.
Wei Huaifang of Huangyan Sect was so angry that he laughed after seeing Su Chen's actions.
“Sometimes I really don’t know whether you are pretending to be stupid or you are really stupid.
You are not even qualified to enter today's meeting.
Do you really think you can just move and sit down?"
As soon as Wei Huaifang finished speaking, Qiu Ruoshuang spoke up to help explain.
"Su Chen's attainments in dealing with monsters are already better than most of us here.
I invited him here for no other reason.
Just to analyze together the difficult situation on the front line today.
Hearing this, many people snorted.
"Miss Third, we can see why you invited this young man here.
Although I am old, my eyesight is still good.
If you want to give him the credit, please give him your share.
Don't give him the credit for our achievements.
If we find out, no matter how strong a third-rank expert suppresses us, we will still demand justice!"
As soon as the words came out, many people around followed suit.
Some people looked at Su Chen seriously, their tone was also full of seriousness:
“I looked down on you before, but now I really want to ask you, how did you please Miss Qiu San?
If he had such talent in martial arts, he would probably be at the third rank now, right?
If you are so capable in dealing with monsters, then you should be able to help us eliminate all these monsters in this crisis, right?"
As they talked, the matter became more and more troublesome.
Qiu Xingtian, the front-line commander, also had a gloomy expression on his face.
He looked at his sister, who was clearly unwilling to back down.
His gaze turned to the side and looked at Su Chen.
It seems that Su Chen is the one who is slightly willing to make concessions.
"Don't sit there, just stand beside Ruoshuang and listen."
Qiu Xingtian's arrangement can be considered a concession.
Qiu Ruoshuang was somewhat reluctant, but Su Chen didn't want to dwell on these things and had already walked behind Qiu Ruoshuang.
Wei Huaifang and the others also took advantage of this step and sat down.
The meeting also started to discuss serious matters at this moment.
Qiu Xingtian began to share the news he heard from Qiu Ruoshuang with everyone present.
Considering that those celestial demons all looked somewhat old, Qiu Xingtian gave his own inference.
The celestial demon in the wilderness should be seeking something to prolong its life.
They were already old and didn't have much time left to live.
Now that there is an opportunity, we will naturally fight for it with all our might.
Qiu Xingtian's speculations explained many problems that did not make sense before.
Tian Yao has always cherished his life, except that he would move forward slightly in the Mingying battlefield.
At other times, most of them stand in the back line.
There is no absolute safety, they will not easily encounter warriors in the state of transformation.
On the Mingying battlefield, it was also confirmed that there was a Demon King behind the scenes making plans.
However, the celestial demons in the Mingying battlefield were not as ferocious and daring as the ones they were currently encountering.
People from the major sects around nodded when they heard this.
They generally agree with most of the content of this speculation.
At least it is more reasonable than their previous inferences.
So what if you just know this?
After explaining his speculation, Qiu Xingtian began to talk about the subsequent layout.
Still keep steady, defense is the main focus.
If this method is used, the demons in the wilderness will never be eliminated or destroyed.
Knowing what the Heavenly Demon's purpose is is of little use.
On both sides of the square table, the leaders of various sects could not help but frown.
After hesitating, Wei Huaifang and the others turned their gaze to Su Chen.
“Isn’t this little friend Su very accomplished in dealing with monsters?
You are so awesome, please give us some suggestions.
Since we've already entered the central tent, we must have some skills.
If you can't explain why and still want to gain credit and fame for yourself, I suggest you have some dignity."
Faced with this, Qiu Xingtian frowned.
Su Chen was invited in by Qiu Ruoshuang.
If he loses face, Qiu Ruoshuang and the Qiu family will also lose face. Qiu Ruoshuang was very calm when she heard this.
He turned around and looked at Su Chen, indicating that Su Chen could start discussing how to deal with the situation.
Su Chen actually wanted to tell Qiu Ruoshuang about the method he had thought of.
Let her explain to these seniors.
But Qiu Ruoshuang didn't want to take all the credit, and the others were right.
She really wanted to add some credit to Su Chen and gain some fame.
The two of them became closer, and this merit and reputation was used as a basis to convince others.
Seeing this, Su Chen no longer hesitated and stepped forward.
"The northern part of Jin State has complex terrain and many obstacles.
This kind of terrain will have a great impact on both us and the monsters.
But relatively speaking, the monsters' keen insight into top fighters makes the terrain have a greater impact on us.
It is not a good idea to attack monsters in the wilderness. Defense is a better option."
Su Chen hadn't even finished his words, and after just a brief pause, he was interrupted.
"If you just agree with what the second young master of the Qiu family said, there is no need to repeat it again."
Several people started to speak in a sarcastic manner before they even finished listening to Su Chen's words.
Su Chen ignored him and continued to express his own views.
“I took a look at the frontline defense yesterday and found some problems with the traces left by the Sky Demon.
What they are pursuing may have already been obtained.
I don’t think the previous harassment was obstruction.
And attract people's attention in other directions.
Playing it safe is a good idea, but in this situation, perhaps playing it safe will give those celestial demons enough time."
Having said this, Su Chen paused for a moment.
The first half of the sentence is indeed very close to what Qiu Xingtian said.
Originally, what Qiu Xingtian said was what Su Chen told Qiu Ruoshuang, and he heard it from Qiu Ruoshuang.
But the second half was completely different from what everyone expected.
Su Chen's words did not support seeking stability at all.
What Su Chen said meant that Tian Yao had found what he was looking for.
It may not be possible to take it away or move it.
It can only be used in that position.
In order to prevent people from getting close to them and discovering their ways, they launched these sneak attacks.
When everyone present heard this, they were stunned.
Qiu Ruoshuang and Qiu Xingtian had been busy with other things this morning, and Su Chen had not told her about these things.
So she was also a little surprised.
After a moment of silence in the tent, several seniors came to their senses and smiled more.
"Young man, please continue. We would like to hear what solutions you can come up with.
Don't just raise problems without offering solutions.
If that's the case, we'll just think you're talking nonsense with your mouth open."
Wei Huaifang stood up and looked at Su Chen, asking Su Chen to give a solution.
Many people can raise questions, but giving responses is the real core.
Faced with these, Su Chen remained calm.
I had already thought of how to deal with it in my mind.
“The celestial demons in the wilderness are actually quite shrewd.
Judging from the traces they left behind, they are hiding their purpose.
The various surprise attacks and sneak raids seemed more like an attempt to break into the deep heartland of Jin State.
But in fact, they have been covering up one direction.
The northeast direction is the direction covered by this group of celestial demons.
If you go over there, you should be able to find some strange things.
Along the way, we will certainly encounter various dangerous crises, and they will continue.
So, go to the northeast to verify carefully."
Su Chen still didn't finish his words this time, and many people around him stood up to refute him.
“Northeast direction?
When giving advice to young people, it is best to combine it with reality.
I have been in this camp for a day. Didn’t I go and ask around?
Are there any directions from which these celestial demons come from the northeast?
Besides, we have already sent people to investigate the situation in the northeast."
Wei Huaifang waved his hands as he spoke.
He couldn't listen any more after hearing this.
This gesture is to let Su Chen leave and stop talking.
"Mr. Wei is right, this young man speaks with conviction.
I thought those words just now were some profound ideas.
As a result, we were asked to explore the northeast. If there was a problem there, the previous explorations would have discovered it long ago."
In the tent, another person stood up and agreed with Wei Huaifang.
In fact, most people present regarded Su Chen’s proposal as nonsense.
At the beginning, those words did scare them.
The celestial demons have already found what they needed, and what they are doing now is worrying about being discovered by the warriors of the Jin State.
I have to say that this statement fooled a lot of people.
And it makes sense, for the most part.
But when Su Chen mentioned the northeast direction, all these people disbelieved it.
"Second Young Master of the Qiu Family, Third Young Miss, what do you two think of this statement?
He said there is a problem in the northeast direction, do you believe it? "
Of course Qiu Xingtian didn't believe it.
He led the team on several explorations in the northeast direction.
If there are any problems over there, he can come out and confirm it himself.
If there is a situation, you should be able to see the problem during the first few visits.
But before he could answer, Qiu Ruoshuang had already responded: "Of course I believe it."
When these words were spoken, the facial muscles of several seniors present twitched.
His face looked unhappy and he seemed angry.
This time, even Qiu Xingtian did not stand on his sister's side.
“Ruoshuang, I led a team to explore the northeastern direction of the wilderness.
If there really was something mysterious over there, how could we not have discovered it?
I'm not the only one leading the team there.
I went to check the situation two or three more times afterwards, but I didn’t find any clues.”
Qiu Ruoshuang still insisted on her own opinion despite her brother's explanation.
"Su Chen would not speak nonsense when it comes to matters involving monsters. Since he said it in front of others, there must be some basis for it."
Faced with Qiu Ruoshuang's explanation, Qiu Xingtian's brows furrowed more and more.
"The celestial demon is already intelligent and is extremely cunning.
It's normal for young people not to see the problem, but it's really inappropriate to defend him to this extent, isn't it? "
Below the tent, Wei Huaifang stood up and spoke again.
It seems that Qiu Xingtian also stood on their side and did not support Su Chen like Qiu Ruoshuang.
"The matter has not yet come to a conclusion, and we don't even know whether we are right or wrong, so why am I quibbling?
The current situation is what it is, so take this opportunity to go and take a look.
We will go and see if there are any problems in the northeast direction."
Qiu Ruoshuang gave a conclusion to today's meeting.
She had been in the wilderness with Su Chen and knew Su Chen's ability to deal with monsters and judge their movements.
In addition, Su Chen rarely boasts.
More of a humble one.
Qiu Ruoshuang felt that the news was mature enough for Su Chen to say this in front of others. (End of this chapter)
