Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

Chapter 42 The Flower Bud and the Trials of Mount Shu

Hua Qiangu, as the temporary leader of the Shu Mountain sect, began to handle many affairs, but the process was far from smooth, and challenges came one after another.

On this day, Hua Qiangu and Qingfeng were discussing in the council hall how to further strengthen the defenses of Mount Shu in order to prevent a surprise attack from external forces.

Hua Qiangu frowned and said, "Master Qingfeng, the external threats are becoming more and more obvious. Shan Chunqiu and his group will definitely not let this go. We need to come up with a more comprehensive defense plan as soon as possible!"

Qingfeng nodded in agreement, "Yes, Hua Qiangu, you're right. The fortifications need to be improved as soon as possible, and the disciples' patrol arrangements also need to be more rigorous!"

Just then, a disciple rushed in, shouting anxiously, "Sect Leader, something terrible has happened! The disciples from different peaks are arguing again over the distribution of supplies, and it's getting out of hand. You'd better go and see!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Qiangu immediately stood up and said anxiously, "Oh dear, why are they arguing again! What should we do? Come on, let's go and see."

The two rushed to the scene and found a group of disciples gathered together, arguing heatedly.

A disciple named Chen Yu shouted, "Why did our Heavenly Sword Peak receive so many fewer supplies than you? Our peak also has a heavy workload, this is so unfair!"

Another disciple from Lingxu Peak, Liu Chang, retorted, "Your Tianjian Peak has fewer people to begin with, so naturally you won't have as many as us when the distribution is proportional. What's unfair about that!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu became even angrier and shouted, "What kind of twisted logic is this! A heavy mission means more supplies should be allocated, that's only fair! You're bullying us!"

Liu Chang also got angry and roared, "Who's bullying us! You're all too greedy, trying to take more supplies? No way!"

Some of the disciples around tried to mediate, but no one listened, and the scene was chaotic.

Hua Qiangu hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Senior brothers and sisters, please stop arguing! Can you listen to me for a moment?"

The crowd quieted down a bit and all looked at Hua Qiangu.

Hua Qiangu took a deep breath and said, "I know everyone cares about the distribution of supplies, but now that Shushan is facing such a big crisis, we should unite instead of arguing over such a small amount of supplies! If this continues, it will only make Shushan more chaotic and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage!"

Chen Yu muttered, "Sect Leader, this distribution is really unfair. Our Heavenly Sword Peak is really at a disadvantage."

Hua Qiangu patiently explained, "Senior Brother Chen Yu, I understand how you feel. But the previous allocation plan was formulated after comprehensively considering various factors such as the number of people and tasks of each peak. However, since everyone has objections now, let's discuss a fairer and more reasonable plan, okay?"

Liu Chang chimed in, "Hmph, renegotiate? What good results can we expect? It'll just be each side sticking to their own logic."

Qingfeng spoke up from the side, "Junior Brother Liu Chang, you can't say that. If we all sit down and talk calmly, we can always find a solution that satisfies everyone. Besides, these are special times, and everyone should prioritize the overall situation."

Liu Chang snorted after hearing Qingfeng's words and remained silent.

Hua Qiangu continued, "How about this? Let's gather the disciples in charge of material management from each peak, along with the peak masters' representatives, in the council hall to reconsider the material distribution plan. Everyone should share their thoughts and needs, and together we can develop the fairest and most reasonable plan. What do you think?"

After hearing Hua Qiangu's words, the disciples looked at each other and then nodded in agreement.

"Alright, let's listen to the sect leader and give it another try," someone said.

So, Hua Qiangu led everyone back to the council hall and began a new round of discussions on the distribution of supplies. The discussion lasted for several hours, during which everyone spoke up, expressed their opinions, and debates rose and fell.

But Hua Qiangu remained patient, listened carefully to everyone's opinions, and constantly recorded various data and suggestions in her notebook.

Finally, after arduous discussions, a new resource allocation plan was born.

Holding the proposal, Hua Qiangu happily said to everyone, "Dear senior brothers and sisters, look, this is the new proposal we have come up with together. This time, we have fully considered everyone's situation. I hope everyone is satisfied!"

The disciples took the plan and looked at it; most of them showed satisfied smiles.

"Yes, this looks much fairer. Thank you for your hard work, Sect Leader!" Chen Yu said.

"Yes, I hope this time we can really solve the problem of resource distribution," Liu Chang said.

Hua Qiangu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, the issue of resource distribution is temporarily resolved. Let's not quarrel over this anymore. We need to work together to deal with other crises in Shushan!"

However, just when everyone thought they could finally catch their breath, new troubles came knocking.

A disciple on patrol rushed in, shouting, "Sect Leader, something terrible has happened! We've found some suspicious traces in the back mountains of Shu Mountain. It seems like someone is spying on us!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Qiangu's expression immediately turned serious. She said, "What? Suspicious traces? We can't be careless! Daoist Qingfeng, let's go take a look right away."

Qingfeng also looked serious and said, "Alright, let's go!"

The two, along with several disciples, hurriedly headed towards the back mountain.

Upon reaching the back of the mountain, one could see some messy footprints and broken branches on the ground, indicating that someone had passed through the area in a hurry.

Hua Qiangu squatted down and carefully examined the footprints. She frowned and said, "These footprints look very unfamiliar. They don't seem to belong to any of our Shushan disciples. Could it be that an external force sent people to investigate us?"

Qingfeng also took a closer look and said, "That's very possible. It seems they want to figure out our strengths and weaknesses so they can formulate their next attack plan."

Just then, several men in black suddenly sprang out of the woods, wielding sharp blades, and pounced on Hua Qiangu and the others.

A disciple cried out in alarm, "Sect Leader, be careful! There's an assassin!"

Hua Qiangu quickly stood up and shouted, "Everyone be careful, prepare to fight!"

Everyone drew their weapons and engaged in a fierce battle with the man in black.

While casting spells to defend against the enemies, Hua Qiangu shouted, "Who are you people? How dare you cause trouble in my Shu Mountain!"

A man in black sneered and said, "Hmph, we're here to take your life, Hua Qiangu. You'd better just accept your death!"

Hua Qiangu shouted angrily, "You want to kill me? Not so easy! You villains will stop at nothing to achieve your goals. Today I will show you the consequences of invading Mount Shu!"

Qingfeng shouted from the side, "Everyone, don't panic! Hold your ground and wipe out all these assassins!"

Despite the fierce resistance from the crowd, the men in black gradually found themselves at a disadvantage, but they continued to fight desperately and refused to back down easily.

After a fierce battle, all the men in black were finally eliminated.

Hua Qiangu wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Phew, that was close! These people must have been instructed by Shan Chunqiu's gang to cause us trouble."

Qingfeng nodded and said, "Yes, that must be it. It seems we need to be more vigilant. We need to strengthen our defenses and increase the frequency of patrols."

Hua Qiangu said, "That's right, and we need to find out where these people came from as soon as possible, and see if they have any other accomplices, in case they attack again."

The disciples all nodded in agreement.

Back in the council hall, Hua Qiangu addressed the group: "Dear senior brothers and sisters, after this incident, we know that the enemy has begun to take action against us. We cannot sit idly by and wait to be killed. We must take the initiative to find out their true colors and strengthen our own defenses. Does everyone have confidence?"

The disciples shouted in unison, "We have confidence! Sect Leader, we will listen to you and protect Mount Shu together!"

Hua Qiangu looked at everyone with satisfaction and said, "Alright, let's work together! We still have many difficulties to overcome, but I believe that as long as we are united, nothing can defeat us!"
