Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 245 - 155: Vice Leader Su Yu Returns to Jinjiao Island
There was no speech, no mobilization, they slipped away quietly, moving low-key.
When everyone boarded the ship, the Giant Wood Divine Vessel slowly started, heading down Chensha River towards the Yuanjiang River under the watch of the three major guilds.
The battleship quickly reached the mouth of Chensha River where it enters Yuanjiang River, and there was a commotion on the deck as many players gathered on the left side of the deck, raising their heads to look up at Thousand Feather City on the shore.
A large number of guild members were also gathered on the walls of Thousand Feather City, with people looking at each other, many waving and saying goodbye.
Su Yu leaned on the railing with a face full of emotion:
"Who would have thought a guild that’s been around for over a hundred years could vanish in a day!"
The Giant Wood Divine Vessel lingered by Thousand Feather City for a while before finally sailing into the Yuanjiang River under the urging of the three major guilds.
"I wonder which guild will eventually occupy Thousand Feather City!"
Gu Zhiqiu, standing beside him, replied:
"Most likely Sword Spirit Pavilion!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Indeed."
"But, Thousand Feather City is not easy to take."
Su Yu said calmly:
"Sword Spirit Pavilion is already one of the top guilds around, and taking Thousand Feather City will significantly enhance their potential. If they can consolidate this territory, their strength would further improve, gaining the ability to possibly challenge two or even three guilds at once. The nearby medium-sized guilds certainly won’t let them have their way. I expect that after we leave, the major guilds will fiercely compete for Thousand Feather City, and it’s hard to say who will have the last laugh."
Gu Zhiqiu laughed:
"Who gets the last laugh is none of our business. I’m only concerned about whether we can thrive when we reach the sea."
Su Yu said seriously:
"Don’t worry, where we’re heading, there’s a guild even larger than Sword Spirit Pavilion protecting us. There shouldn’t be any issues."
"I hope so."
Su Yu looked at Gu Zhiqiu in surprise and found a hint of confusion on his face, which was a confusion about the future.
Indeed, moving to a new place naturally brings some confusion.
He didn’t intend to offer any consolation, knowing it’s better to see the reality once they arrive than to say more.
The Giant Wood Divine Vessel soon left Thousand Feather City and entered the vast Yuanjiang River, heading downstream.
As the battleship gradually distanced itself from Thousand Feather City, everything was settled, and many players began to accept reality. Looking out from the railing, they saw the vast, wide river surface, where the gentle river breeze was refreshing, and the mood of many members began to relax, becoming more active on the deck.
However, Su Yu didn’t witness this scene as he was called into the cabin for a meeting by Chu Xinyue.
The meeting gathered all mid-to-high-ranking members of the team. Su Yu scanned the room as he entered and noticed that many old faces were missing, likely unwilling to leave their hometown, while there were indeed some new faces, probably newly promoted.
The agenda was as everyone expected.
Chu Xinyue stood in the center, her eyes sweeping across the crowd, and said in a solemn voice:
"The team has officially detached from the Thousand Feather Guild and is now an independent team. With this relocation, many squads have separated, and the team is extremely chaotic internally. I plan to reorganize the division of labor."
"I will take the position of team leader, with Chu Xiaoyu and Su Yu as vice team leaders."
Everyone’s expressions remained calm, without objections.
Chu Xiaoyu has been her assistant, so taking the vice team leader role was reasonable, and she has always been the vice team leader.
Su Yu, himself a squad leader, has connections, and everyone relies on his connections to establish overseas, making him a vice team leader also sensible.
Chu Xinyue looked around at the crowd and continued:
"I will also serve as the first squad leader, with Feng Yueqing as vice squad leader."
"Chu Xiaoyu will serve as the second squad leader, with Wen Yan as vice squad leader."
"Su Yu will serve as the third squad leader, with Gu Zhiqiu as vice squad leader."
"The fourth squad leader will be Chu Jie, with Cheng Yunqing as vice squad leader."
"The fifth squad leader will be Hu Qingfeng, with Luo Hao as vice squad leader."
"Newcomer supervisor: Fu Ping."
"Logistics supervisor: Chu Xiaoyu."
"Personnel supervisor....."
The original fourth squad leader Li Xuan left, and the former deputy squad leader Chu Jie took over, with Cheng Yunqing being newly promoted as deputy squad leader.
The original fifth squad leader Hu Zhilin retired directly due to this incident, and the position was taken over by his son Hu Qingfeng, essentially letting his son succeed him.
After Hu Qingfeng was transferred, the fifth squad was directly emptied and now only had 13 members left.
Fortunately, he knew he was at fault. Not only did he not take any share from the fifth squad’s treasury, but he also added 1000 gold, making the fifth squad the richest in the third squad.
The squad leader has not been selected yet, but Su Yu already had an idea in mind.
The meeting results were quickly uploaded to the team channel. After returning, Su Yu immediately gathered his subordinates and announced that the squad plans to select one or two people from all team leaders, one as the fifth squad leader and one as the deputy squad leader.
Additionally, thirteen people will be selected as team leaders from ordinary members.
Although the number is far from filling the squad framework, the structure needs to be established.
With various positions enticing at the front, it was clear that everyone’s spirits were lifted.
After the battleship increased distance from Thousand Feather City, its speed slowed, and many Divine Thunder Towers were activated for leveling up while traveling.
Su Yu no longer stayed low-key, directly summoning Ao Run, whose enormous true dragon form appeared, greatly boosting the morale visibly.
....
A month later, the Giant Wood Divine Vessel appeared at the mouth of Yuanjiang River heading to sea, stopping over in Blue Sea City for a day to resupply before continuing to sail into the ocean.
The battleship sailed into the sea, following a fixed route towards Feixing Island.
However, Su Yu disembarked here, leaving two Loose Immortals to oversee, while he, Chu Xinyue, and Xiao Qingli took a group of elite subordinates aboard a Flying Ship, leaving the battleship.
They needed to advance to Jinjiao Island ahead of time to meet with their elder brother and sister-in-law to arrange matters and prepare their guild base in advance.
The main focus was locating the guild base, ensuring there was a foothold when the main force arrived.
Attaching the team wouldn’t be a problem, never mind the relationship with the elder brother and sister-in-law, any guild wouldn’t reject a large team with Loose Immortals, the only difference being in terms of treatment.
With the elder brother and sister-in-law’s relationship, plus Chu Xinyue also being a Xuanzhen Immortal Sect disciple, being peers, the treatment surely wouldn’t be bad.
Flying Ships travel faster than battleships, and Su Yu returned to Jinjiao Island in just over ten days, then went alone to Mingsu Palace.
His elder brother and sister-in-law were extremely surprised to see Su Yu and asked:
"Little brother, you’ve returned so quickly? Didn’t you say there was something wrong with the guild you were born into? Is it resolved?"
No need for beating around the bush with his elder brother and sister-in-law, he said directly:
"My previous guild has already been wiped out by Celestial God Association with the help of three nearby guilds, but I brought some friends back, ready for development overseas."
The elder brother didn’t think much, laughing:
"That’s a minor issue—have them come over, join Canglan Association or as a dependency, either way."
Su Yu scratched his head, saying:
"There are quite a few of them."
The elder brother assumed it was tens of people and waved dismissively:
"No matter how many people there are, the guild can accommodate them."
However, the sister-in-law, being meticulous, sensed another layer to his words and asked:
"You say quite a few, does it mean over a hundred and that makes it difficult to place them?"
"Uh, over a thousand."
"???"
The elder brother was shocked, asking:
"You didn’t bring over the entire squad, did you?"
"Not just the squad, it’s an entire team, with around 1,700 people currently."
"So many people...."
The elder brother and sister-in-law exchanged a glance, their expressions grew serious, and the sister-in-law asked in a deep voice:
"What is your relationship with these people???"
"The team leader is also a Xuanzhen Immortal Sect disciple, has always had high hopes for me, greatly supporting me. After I joined Thousand Feather Association, they even promoted me to team captain, in charge of a squad. I’m obligated to repay such a great favor."
"Uh!"
The couple exchanged glances, nodded, and said:
"Such support and recommendation form is a significant favor, your benefactor, this favor must be repaid."
"No problem, once your team leader comes over, we’ll have a good discussion, whether joining the guild or as a dependency to form an independent team, both could work."
Su Yu immediately said:
"The team leader has already arrived, alongside me, currently waiting in Jinjiao City."
The elder brother promptly stood up and said:
"Then quickly invite them over."
"No, we’ll go over."
The couple immediately prepared to head out, with Su Yu following them. Shortly after, a Flying Ship flew out of Mingsu Palace, heading straight towards the nearby Jinjiao City.
"Speaking of, how old is your team leader, what’s their personality, and do they have any peculiar habits or taboos?"
"Uh, the team leader and elder brother and sister-in-law are not far apart in age, reserved in nature, usually quite gentle with me, no particular taboos."
"Bang!"
Su Huan smacked Su Yu’s head, scolding:
"Can’t you speak properly? How can you use gentle to describe your benefactor? That’s amiable."
Su Yu... the team leader truly is quite gentle usually, isn’t it?
