After the racing competition, the Li family, led by Secretary B, returned to the Divine Sword Tower in a triumphant manner, waiting for the Shen family to send an invitation.

The young girls in the outer courtyard were bent down and bowed their heads in the bleak clouds, picking up the sad fragments on the ground from the ground.

Although this failure was not as strong as the shock brought by the defeat in the contest a month ago, the blow to morale was even more fatal. After experiencing a crushing defeat, the rise that the people in the outer hospital finally got caught by a 0.28-second time, as if they were breaking a rare germination of hope, which hurts all internal organs.

Until the Li family left, in the battle chart, no one of the teenagers from the outer courtyard was willing to move, and no one even spoke. What enveloped people's hearts at this time was a confusion that had never been seen before.

What should we do next? Today's racing, everyone has worked together to win all favorable conditions, but they still can't win. Maybe it should really be...

During the silence, Chen Herong spoke first.

"The responsibility for today's defeat is all on me. As an instructor in the outer school, I cannot give you proper guidance, which has led to your skills being inferior to others during the competition... Now, I have no face to take on the position of instructor, and I will submit my resignation to the city lord tomorrow."

These words soon attracted the opposition of the students, and the silent field suddenly became a little lively.

"Instructor, what are you saying? Why is the responsibility all lies with you?"

"You have done a good job, but we are not strong enough, and we have embarrassed our family..."

"Instructor, don't underestimate yourself. Although we have hated you over the past few years, especially your scar face is really annoying... but none of us will deny your guidance."

"Yes, although the training program you designed is inhumane, and you always show the disgusting scar face when we are exhausted, which makes our stomachs turbulent. But every time we vomit, we do feel real progress."

"That's right, every time I think that as long as I meet the graduation standards as soon as possible, I will never have to look at your scar face again, I feel that no matter how hard or tiring the training is, it is worth it."

Chen Herong only heard the muscles on his face twitching and the scars twisted. He wanted to punch them out and beat them all into pig heads.

And at this moment, suddenly, the teenager's discussion came to an abrupt end.

As if it was stuck in his throat by external forces, everyone closed their mouths at the same time and stopped talking, making the venue quiet instantly.

Several younger boys and girls looked at each other, surprised by the inexplicable quietness, then opened their mouths and patted their ears, confirming that there was no physical problem... But soon, a ruthless aura spread out, like the bone-burning chill of winter night, which instantly frozen all people's distracting thoughts.

Everyone's attention was involuntarily focused on one place.

A young man with silver hair as a waterfall stood in the middle of the road and looked at everyone. His majestic and upright figure made his gaze condescend. The two sharp gazes seemed to penetrate the hearts and make all his consciousness freeze. Only a trace of instinct was left, and he wished he could kneel down to the ground and show his loyalty to him.

In the silence, someone took two steps forward, bowed and said in a hoarse voice: "Master Lord..."

The hoarse voice, like a bell ringing in people's hearts, broke the deadlock of consciousness freezing and made people start thinking again.

Lord City Lord?

In the entire Shencheng, there is only one person who can be called the city lord. The rest, whether Chen Yueying or Chen Jinghai, will strictly abide by their duties. The title is the deputy city lord, and no one is allowed to transgress and omit the sub-word.

The city lord of Shencheng could only be Chen Ruoshi. Only Chen Ruoshi could not speak or touch his true energy. With his own existence alone, he would not even dare to say more.

When people saw Chen Ruoshi, the most surprised thing in their hearts was that they were surprised. This famous city lord, actually no longer showed up easily for a long time, so that most young people in the outer courtyard had never even seen the honor of the city lord. Therefore, people could not imagine that this young man who looked at at most was only twenty-five or sixty years old and had a jade-like skin was Chen Ruoshi who was about to celebrate his 100th birthday!

Generally speaking, even the cultivator with a high level of cultivation cannot completely resist the erosion of time. Especially when he is nearly a hundred years old, the traces of aging will eventually come, but this rule seems to have failed on Shen Ruoshi. Even a head of silver hair seems full of vitality and is completely exhausted.

After the initial shock, new doubts soon emerged in people's minds.

Why did the city lord appear here? In the past, even if there was an emergency military situation in the Chaos battlefield, the deputy city lord came forward to preside over it, and the city lord himself would never go out easily. Now, is this...

Thinking of his previous defeat in the battle formation map, the people in the outer courtyard couldn't help but feel cold sweat, and they were frightened and worried.

This competition that decided to belong to the birthday party invitation may of course attract the attention of the city lord himself. When he came to the scene with high expectations, he saw a crushing defeat... This really gave the city lord a heavy birthday gift!

When people were nervous, Chen Ruoshi suddenly spoke.

"Did you forget the Shen family's family precepts?"

Of course, no one will forget that family motto will be instilled by parents until the Shen family is sent to the outer hospital.

Among the crowd, Chen Feihong, the tallest and burly figure, stood up first. Facing the stern pressure, he said in a deep voice: "The Shen family can lose, but they will never admit defeat!"

After saying that, this man who looked older and more mature than Chen Ruoshi knelt on the ground: "My grandson knew his mistake. After the defeat, I not only could not lead all my brothers and sisters to regroup, but even felt despair and depressed. I really felt ashamed of the city lord's expectations..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Feihong suddenly found that his voice had come to an abrupt end.

As Chen Ruoshi's gaze shifted, Chen Feihong's accusation was naturally interrupted without saying anything.

Next, Chen Ruoshi shook his head and said, "It's wrong."

"You're all wrong."

"The Shen family motto is not that understandable."

Chen Ruoshi's faint words caused a wave of confusion in everyone's hearts.

The Shen family motto is not understood in this way? How should we understand these two sentences? Everyone has heard these two sentences since they were young. Can there be other ways to understand them?

"Each sentence of the two sentences of the Shen family's family is equally important. The Shen family can lose, but never admit defeat. Over the years, you only remember the second half, but forget the first half."

Chen Ruoshi said, raised his head slightly, his eyes becoming distant and deep, as if he had seen through the long river of history.

"The Shen family is warlike, this is passed down in the bones and has followed the tradition of thousands of years. How can warriors always win and never defeat? The more they fight, the more they lose. Including me, who has never lost? Since I stepped into the immortal path 92 years ago, I have suffered 172 defeats in my life, and an average of nearly two games a year. Among them, 122 games lost to the same tribe occurred during the training of the outer courtyard. The loss to the foreign tribe was mostly when I was out for training. Now, Xiangzhou tribe is in the cultivation of the Xiangzhou tribe. Most of the losses to the foreign tribe were lost during the training period. The fairy world often says that I am a master with all my own unique skills and will never defeat all my life, that is pure nonsense. Of course I will lose, and I will not lose less than any other famous master, among which there are even a crushing defeat that I will never be able to win or lose in my life. I have three fights with the leader of the Holy Sect, and each time I have a one-game move, and I will lose all the game. But that seems to be just a slight difference, but it is a real gap like a natural barrier. I am afraid that my power for the rest of my life will not be filled... But so what?"

Chen Ruoshi said, his eyes turned back to the young man in the outer courtyard.

Looking at the surprised and startled faces, Chen Ruoshi said: "For us immortals, we should have a deeper understanding of the natural inequality of humans than the sentient beings in the mortal world. Some people are born with unique qualifications and understanding. The path of immortality is smooth for him, while others are struggling step by step, and they can only sway at the foot of the mountain throughout their lives. Such qualification differences, whether they work hard or work hard, are useless."

"You can work hard, and you can, but you will never have the qualifications. So, you will eventually meet an opponent you can't win no matter what, and will encounter failures that will never be restored. At this time, do you have to deceive yourself and tell yourself that as long as you work harder, you will definitely win back next time? Or you are discouraged, despaired, and completely give up the path of immortality?"

"That's all a joke! The Shen family must learn to face failure calmly, and do not regret or be angry because of failure. Only the weak need to use excitement to motivate themselves to move forward, and do not breed meaningless despair and depression, because there is no failure worthy of the immortal cultivator giving up the immortal path! Being indifferent to every victory or defeat, you can afford to lose, and not stop. This is the purpose of the ancestors of the Shen family leaving their family precepts."

"As for the face of a family... Haha, will the reputation accumulated by the Shen family have been shaken by the failure of you little things? You may be too despised! Even if there is something that will never be allowed to fail, it is not your turn to take it. If you become discouraged for some unnecessary vanity and wish you could sink into it, then you will never have the chance to shoulder the real burden."

After saying that, Chen Ruoshi no longer paid attention to the children of the outer courtyard who looked thoughtful, but instead hooked up with Chen Herong: "Come."

Chen Herong was shocked, but he obeyed the order and leaned over.

When there was still three feet away from Chen Ruoshi, Chen Herong suddenly felt that the surrounding space changed. Turning back, the scenery behind him had become gray.

Chen Ruoshi said, "Say some things privately."

Chen Herong immediately became nervous and swallowed: "Please give me instructions, Lord City."

Chen Ruoshi said: "I am not here today to see the competition in the outer courtyard, so I didn't see the previous competition at all. I just used the situation to comfort those little guys."

Chen Herong thought in his heart that indeed, how could such a competition that even the deputy city lord was not invited to alarm the city lord himself? But since that is the case, what is the city lord here to do?

"I only have one question. What is the relationship between that Wang Jiu and Shen Qingming?!"
