Book 7, Chapter 55: Smooth and Steady (1/2)

Book 7, Chapter 55: S had coan to warm, thethe winter began to flourish oncewith activity as well The annual Spring Blade Festival was starting soon, and each house was fully decorated with gaudy, elegant lanterns The sound of laughter and celebration filled the air

This year, however, the atood news of the human race’s triumph had spread far and wide by this point

Apparently, the Boundless Sect’s arh the wilds inhabited by the Beasts, but had even subjugated the Harpies and exterminated a number of Desolate Beasts

Of course, the final notice was also the most important: all taxation and forced labor would be suspended for three years to give them a time of rest

To many of the country’s citizens, this piece of information was even more important than the human race’s triumph It was only natural that this year’s celebration would be even more lively than usual

Apparently, this decision had been made because of the sudden influx of rare and valuable resources from Beast-controlled areas

The Boundless Sect also fully released the bloodline-less cultivation techniques Now, anyone adoms could cultivate them

In the past, an adequate supply of cultivation resources was hard to co of taxation policies, resources wereit easier for cultivators to ascend

Apparently, the Sect Master was still not satisfied, and he had personally gone to visit the Oceanids in an atte route

Currently, the entire human race was now under the rule of this Sect Master

Even though the Seven Kingdoms still existed, each with their own ruler, everyone knew that only Sect Master was at the very height

The tea pavilions, the wine taverns, and other public gathering areas were filled with an air of rejoicing Even the beggars lining the streets and the prostitutes in the brothels were happy - the dispelling of forced labor had made their lives much easier, and they were able to save up more money as a result

There was perhaps only one clan that was excluded from this celebration

The Su Clan

In theory, the Su Clan’s status should have risen in a meteoric fashi+on due to Su Chen’s current status

But the reality was that the Su Clan had not changed in the slightest

Not a single hts or descended to the lowest depths

The Su Clan was still the Su Clan, as steady and stagnant as always, in a way that ale clan in Northface City In fact, even their wealth and status had remained entirely the same

Of course, this was all because of Su Chen

So with the Su Clan

Su Chen’s reply was to neither support nor suppress them They would be treated like they had always been treated

As a result, they were treated with the ut in the current state of affairs

No one would ever bully theive them preferential treatment either

In fact, they were treated so fairly that it was a little eerie

The Su Clan’s servants could only buy vegetables at her and no lower

They would be treated with both politeness and for business

The Su Clan would always be invited to the city’s important affairs, and their status would be honored, but no one would ever invite thes

It was as if they didn’t exist!

This was extremely difficult for the Su Clan’s members to bear

But this was not the most important factor

No, the most important factor was that, underneath this mask of calm was disdain, ridicule, and contempt

Su Chen’s relationshi+p with the Su Clan was not a secret in Northface City Everyone, fro, knew about this story

For this reason, everyone scorned the Su Clan for pushi+ng aside their pillar of support, even if they refused to say so openly

If people’s thoughts could be heard, then the entire Northface City would likely be filled with the sounds of ridicule and

How could the Su Clan’sin their hearts?

“Pei!”

Su Hao spat on the ground as he glanced at the bustling outside world, then flicked his sleeves and returned to the main hall

The Su Clan’s hall was quite busy as well

The Su residence’s inhabitants were gathering in the hall to celebrate the new year
