Chapter 141 - 141 136 Two Stuffed Buns
?Chapter 141: Chapter 136: Two Stuffed Buns Chapter 141: Chapter 136: Two Stuffed Buns Gua Zhengnie had just become the new Alliance Leader of the Third Demon, but his limelight was immediately overshadowed by Wei Sisan becoming the Sect Leader of the New City Sect. People had been anxiously worried that Gua Zhengnie might cause chaos, but looking at the current situation, it seems that this problem does not exist anymore.
In recent days, people were all discussing the new Alliance Leader and the affairs of the New City Sect. They talked about the new Alliance Leader as a joke, while discussing the New City Sect was a consideration of whether to join them or not.
Ye Chen was sitting in a corner of the tavern.
Several people there started discussing these matters again.
One guy said, “I think Gua Zhengnie must be overjoyed.”
“Of course, he is happy, everyone dreams of becoming the Alliance Leader of the Third Demon. Even though it’s a different kind of Alliance Leader, he is still an Alliance Leader, which gives him more power than you have,” a man mocked.
“True, the new Alliance Leader can only command Zun Yu, this rustic chap. In the future, Zun Yu could also command Gua Zhengnie when he becomes an Alliance Leader. We could even take turns being Alliance Leaders, you be the Alliance Leader once, and then I will be the Alliance Leader once, as long as it’s fun,”
The group of people burst into laughter.
“Who cares who is the Alliance Leader as long as they are having fun. Why do you bother so much about them?”
Another person said, “I think Gua Zhengnie wanted to command the people from the New City Sect but he did not expect that they would suddenly stop playing. Now he has become a real bare pole Alliance Leader.”
“Who said he’s a bare pole? He still has Zun Yu to play with.”
“After waiting for so many years, I don’t think he could ever have dreamed that he would end up being this kind of Alliance Leader.”
Ye Chen quietly sipped his tea on the side, realizing that things were unfolding exactly as predicted by the Red Demonic Spirit. Although the Red Demonic Spirit was tricky, he was really good at predicting things.
The group started discussing again, “No one is listening to the Alliance Leader anymore, we all talk about the New City Sect. The New City Sect has been very active recently.”
“Yes, it’s not bad. Joining the New City Sect definitely has prospects. I am already planning to join.”
“Well, it depends on whether they want you or not.”
“No way, the New City Sect is quite open to new members. They are not so arrogant.”
“Yeah, I believe in this too.”
“The important thing is, they are working for the Wastelands, even if you lose your life, at least you know what you died for.”
“Don’t worry, the New City Sect won’t let you die in vain. We are not like the current Third Demon where only Gua Zhengnie and Zun Yu are such people.”
Someone said, “I’m thinking about going to Sky Lake Manor to see if they are really planning to expand their personnel. If it’s true, I want to give it a try. Are you guys willing to accompany me to try our luck, to see if we can really join the New City Sect?”
Upon hearing this, everyone cheered, “Yes, we support you. Go, of course you should go. I also want to go and have a good look, to try my luck.”
Soon those people dispersed.
Ye Chen continued to drink, it’s already the new year, but the weather was still a bit cold. It seems that the New City Sect is set to become the largest faction in the Wastelands.
Quite a lot has happened in Wasteland City lately, but he was a bit worried. He was afraid that Gua Zhengnie, feeling frustrated, might stir up trouble.
Wei Sisan had a grand ceremony to establish the New City Sect. That day was a good day and many factions from the Wastelands were invited, and many of them came. It was very lively, with drumming and gonging resounding in Wasteland City for three full days, much more festive than the New Year’s celebration, and in sharp contrast with Gua Zhengnie becoming the Alliance Leader of the Third Demon.
Wei Sisan had no intention of overshadowing Gua Zhengnie. After all, the New City Sect was a newly established faction that needed to create some noise. The aim was to blow the news of the New City Sect’s establishment to the entire Wastelands, to let everyone know and to boost its fame.
During those three days in Wasteland City, nothing was livelier than this event. Many factions that had not been active for years came out to participate, even the Sky Domain Sect which had no contact with the New City Sect sent representatives to congratulate them. Only Gua Zhengnie and Zun Yu were absent.
All those who came were welcomed, Wei Sisan had arranged everything in advance. Suddenly it seemed as if there was no more Third Demon in the Wastelands, only the New City Sect.
After making a splash for three whole days, Sky Lake Manor, which was previously unknown, gained quite a bit of fame.
The sect was finally established smoothly.
By the third evening, things had quieted down.
Wei Sisan had not expected he would succeed in such a monumental task of founding a sect, yet he felt he had been forced into it.
Jiang Zhuge and Xiao Bai came to meet Wei Sisan. Jiang Zhuge said, “Gua Zhengnie and Zun Yu did not come.” He expressed some concern. Their absence indicated they were upset.
“Did they at least send someone to congratulate us?” Wei Sisan asked.
“No!”
Xiao Bai scoffed and said, “Why bother with those two? Whether they come or not makes no difference. We have emerged from the Third Demon, and we’ve held a grand ceremony to mark our separation. In the future, we will go our separate ways. We have yielded the Third Demon to them in accordance with their request. They are now the masters of the Third Demon. What more is there to say?”
Jiang Zhuge said, “Clearly, they didn’t want this outcome.”
“What a load of crap! Are they unwilling to let us leave the Third Demon, preferring that we meekly obey their Commands? Such bumpkins, who never do anything worthwhile and always cause us trouble. How many times have they brought trouble upon us? Letting them command, what good could they possibly do?” Xiao Bai sneered as though relieving his pent-up anger, and his mood greatly improved.
Jiang Zhuge said, “I’m just worried that we’ve pulled a fast one too quickly, leaving them feeling tricked.”
Xiao Bai said, “No rush, no rush at all. We should have done this. If we delayed, I worried they’d instigate something and involve us in their problems. But now, we don’t have to worry about being entangled with them anymore.”
Wei Sisan was silent for a moment. He had also considered this, but he believed this step was necessary. He said, “We have to take this step sooner or later. As hesitation is useless, decision would be better, to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
Xiao Bai nodded and said, “Quite right, Sect Leader. We should definitely leave sooner rather than later. Otherwise, we would only harm others and ourselves. Now, it’s much better—we have no need to care about their bullshit.”
“I worry that this might provoke them,” Jiang Zhuge said.
“Hey, you worry too much. There is nothing to worry about. Our departure is inevitable and logical. Everything is going smoothly for us now. Can’t you see how many people are eager to join us? They’re dying to join us right away. This is our best chance. We have to seize this opportunity.” Xiao Bai was elated by the influx of newcomers over these three days. He saw hope. He had been worried that losing the position of Alliance Leader might affect them, but now he realized his worries had been unwarranted, and his mind was much more at ease.
“I’m just worried that they might cause trouble. It wouldn’t be the first time.”
“Just let them dare! See how I deal with them. I haven’t settled the score with them for what they did to Ling’er four years ago. They dare to come again? You leave them to me, I’ll handle those two.”
“No, I think it’s better to maintain the peace, especially since we are in a transitional period. Although we are stronger than them now, if something were to happen, the entire Wastelands would be affected,” Jiang Zhuge said.
“If they stir up trouble, that gives us the perfect opportunity to deal with them directly. They have no ties to us now. If they cause any problems, they will have to be responsible. We are no longer obliged to take responsibility for them,” Xiao Bai asserted.
“Yes, that’s true in principle, but if trouble does arise, it may affect the entire Wastelands, not just a single sect.”
Having heard this, Wei Sisan said, “Xiao Bai, calm down a bit lately, try to keep our disciples low-profile, and prevent any friction with them.”
“Okay, understood. Don’t worry, I’ll remind them.”
Wei Sisan continued, “We are all currently in Wasteland City, let’s give them some face and try not to provoke them too much.”
“Understood, Sect Leader. Rest easy.”
Weisisan then told Jiang Zhuge, “Zhuge, keep a close watch on the situation around here. If anything unusual were to happen, resolve it as quickly as possible and avoid letting things escalate.”
“Alright, understood.”
After assigning tasks, Wei Sisan’s main concern was not what might happen within Wasteland City, but what might occur outside of it.
“Sect Leader, is there anything else you’re worried about?” Xiao Bai asked.
Wei Sisan turned silent.
Xiao Bai said, “Sect Leader, you’ve always been worried that Gua Zhengnie and Zun Yu might cause trouble. Now, there’s no need for that anymore. If they cause any problems, it’s not our concern. We don’t have any involvement with them anymore. If they dare to cause trouble, we’ll clean them up.”
Wei Sisan had to be cautious, nonetheless.
