The Chu family is the overlord of the East City and one of the four major forces of Qingyue. Of course, its mansion is particularly grand. After entering from the ten-foot-high main entrance, there is a large courtyard. It is the place where the Chu family receives guests. With the ample space, it can accommodate
Thousands of people are no problem.
Next is the reception hall. Generally, only people with certain status can enter here. Behind it is the place where the senior leaders of the Chu family discuss decisions, and the current leaders of the Chu family are discussing secretly here at the moment.
The big family gathering was held in the courtyard next to it. The Chu family was a wealthy and prosperous family. There were many younger generations in the direct line, and there were even hundreds of children of common people.
The head of the old family, Chu Qingyun, came to Qingyue alone with an old servant many years ago. Perhaps because of his fate, both of his names had the word "green" in them, and they settled here immediately. Over the past few decades, the Chu family has flourished, and the Chu family has been run in an orderly manner.
.Now the old man has long since lived in seclusion in the back mountains. He does not care about everything, and his eldest son takes care of everything. The position of the head of the family has also been given up.
Strange to say, other families, no matter how big or small, always have disputes over matters involving power and position. But when Chu Qingyun gave up the position of head of the family, his other sons did not object at all.
However, the current head of the family, Chu Lingyun, is also very capable. From the name given by the old man, you can see his expectations for him. He hopes that his son can surpass him and be above Lingyun. Chu Lingyun, who is nearly forty years old, has now reached the late Tianyuan realm.
He lives up to his reputation as a genius. The Chu family has grown stronger in recent years, which further highlights his leadership abilities.
To the east of this place is the Chu family's martial arts performance ground, where the Chu family's disciples practice martial arts. To the west is the residence of the servants, and further inside is the residence of the real monks. The direct descendants of the Chu family are all genuine
The Chu family's bloodline, and the concubine either had extremely weak bloodline, or was a selected outsider with potential to change his surname, or was given a surname by a servant.
Regardless of whether they are direct descendants or concubines, there are thousands of people in total. If you include the servants and guards, ten times more will not be enough. Otherwise, you will not become a wealthy family. Their residences are extremely widespread. The East City is so big that it has a radius of dozens of people.
However, one-fifth of it is where the Chu family is located, and the back mountain next to the Ten Thousand Demons Forest is a land of peach blossoms, located to the east of the hinterland of the house. From inside the Chu family, you can see the back mountain, and
Behind it are hundreds of thousands of mountains that go straight into the clouds.
Pass through the martial arts field and walk Erli Mountain Road to reach the back mountain.
The martial arts arena was buzzing with people, and hundreds of clan members and guard servants were practicing. At this time, Yan Ling'er was walking here and wanted to go straight to the back mountain.
"Miss Ling'er went to see Brother Tian again. Their relationship is really good."
"Brother Tian, it's because of him that our Chu family was scolded as useless by that bastard Liu Yun. He is no longer the genius he was back then. Now, several of the three generations of descendants have advanced to the Human Yuan Realm. Brother Chu Hao a few days ago
They have all advanced to the late Renyuan period."
"It can't be said like this. It's not his fault that he can't advance to the Human Yuan Realm. He reached the peak of Condensation Yuan before he was nine years old. At that time, who among our younger generation dared to say that he was his opponent, and he also won the victory for our Chu family.
He won the Qingyue Competition." What's more, he is the son of the family head.
"Huh, what's wrong with the son of the head of the family? It's because he has a good family background and a good father that he can go to the back mountain. The old man is over there. He has never let anyone go there before. Even the head of the house and several other people in power can usually go there.
He didn't even bother to disturb him, but he got a blessing in disguise and took advantage. Hehe, but this time he was unlucky again. On the day when Brother Hao entered the late stage of the Human Yuan Realm, I heard that he asked the Fourth Master to propose marriage to the City Lord's Mansion. Let's see.
That’s it.”
"Ah? What... no way, brother that day, oh no... what should Chu Tian do?"
"Who knows, Brother Chu Hao and him have some disputes. Let's just wait and see the good show..."
While the young disciples of the Chu family were talking about each other, Yan Ling'er also walked to the center of the martial arts field. Hearing these people's words, he simply scoffed.
"Chu Hao... huh, you dare to compete with Brother Tian. Even if he reaches the late stage of Ren Yuan, he may not be able to beat Brother Tian at the ninth level of Ning Yuan. Huh huh." Yan Ling'er thought about this in her heart.
The younger generation who looked down on Chu Tian cursed him all over, and walked towards the back mountain without thinking about it anymore.
During the years when Chu Tian was silent, many people who once regarded him as their idol were greatly disappointed, often treated him coldly, and even made bad remarks. And after he entered the back mountain, he had not seen him for many years. All these disciples
They all changed the objects of worship.
And some people are so mean. When others are geniuses, they will flatter and show their admiration endlessly. But once they fall into the trough, enter the knot that cannot be untied, and fall into the abyss, all kinds of things will happen.
Abuse, sarcasm, ridicule, and contempt are commonplace. You don’t remember everything about the beginning at all. In comparison, it is better to have a good reputation as a disciple who has never had glory and has always been ordinary. This is the human heart...
Of course, not everyone is like this. The Chu family also has young disciples who yearn for Chu Tian. Chu Lin is one of them. He is still the second eldest son of the Chu family and the son of Chu Lingyu. Although he has not yet become a strong human being, he
His support undoubtedly won Chu Tian some prestige in the Chu family.
Only he is allowed to often go to the back mountain to find Chutian when he has not entered the human realm. Of course, Yan Ling'er, the city lord Qianjin, also has this privilege.
Yan Ling'er used to be angry because Chu Tian was treated unfairly, and even wanted to ask Yan Xuehan to ask the Chu family to teach those children a lesson. But now as she grows older, although she is still very angry, she can still hold it back.
Just when he was about to enter the path, several figures stood in front of him.
"Sister Ling'er is doing well now. I haven't seen you for a long time, but she is even more beautiful and charming." A tall and handsome young man looked at Yan Ling'er with a smile and said softly. Behind him stood several other family members.
His children are all direct descendants.
Yan Ling'er looked at this man and said indifferently: "Chu Hao, why are you blocking my way?" It turned out that this man was the young disciple just now, the current genius of the Chu family, Chu Hao.
"Haha, I haven't seen sister Ling'er for a long time. I miss her a little. Moreover, I heard that my sister was almost besieged by Liu Fan's group in the main city. I'm really worried. Fortunately, it's okay. Sister Ling'er can rest assured. If I see Liu Fan
That guy will definitely vent his anger for you." Chu Hao said softly with arrogance.
"You don't have to worry about it. I'm not afraid of him, and my city lord's palace is not afraid of the Liu family. There's no need for you to vent my anger on my behalf. You'd better be more concerned about your own children being bullied. These are the questions you should ask." Yan Ling
The son said slightly impatiently.
"Brother Lin, that's just a minor injury. There's no need for me to worry about it. My second uncle will take care of it. And if those concubines are injured, it's just an injury. I'll just call him back next time."
Seeing Chu Hao's nonchalant look and arrogant expression, I felt more and more disgusted. I ignored him and walked around to go to the back mountain.
"Miss Ling'er, Brother Hao is really here for you. When he heard about your arrival, he came all the way to see you because he was afraid that you would be frightened. Moreover, soon, Brother Hao will propose marriage to the city lord, and you two will be engaged by then."
"shut up…".
A young disciple with a bright smile was still talking endlessly, but was interrupted by Yan Ling'er's angry voice...
Yan Ling'er turned to look at this person, her almond-shaped eyes widened at this moment, her eyebrows raised and her teeth bit lightly, looking extremely angry: "Chu Yunyuan, you despicable villain, what did Brother Tian do to you back then?"
What about you, but how did you treat Brother Tian when you learned that he couldn't reach the human realm? It's a pity that I treated you as a good friend in the first place."
Hearing these words, the man didn't care at all, still smiling, and said to Yan Ling'er: "I have changed my name to Chu Yuan now, please remember to Miss Ling'er that Chu Tian treats me well.
I didn't do anything to him, and I'm very grateful to him, but he's been alone in the mountains for these years and I haven't seen him before, so I feel a little alienated."
"Humph, I'm grateful...I'm grateful that you would be cold to Brother Tian when he was lonely. Fortunately, he is a good friend. What disgusts me the most is that he was originally Brother Tian's accompanying disciple, but he ran to Chu Hao after that incident.
, hum... I don’t have anything to say to you, but it’s a pity that Brother Tian made the mistake of seeing the wrong person.”
After Yan Ling'er finished speaking, she turned around and left, no longer paying attention to the crowd.
Looking calmly at Yan Ling'er's leaving figure, Chu Yuan's face showed no emotion at all, as if this was a trivial matter.
Chu Hao looked at this scene with interest. He glanced past the beautiful figures, cast his eyes on Chu Yuan and said with a smile: "Don't you ever regret it? Speaking of which, the genius back then was really good to you."
"He's just a useless person. There's nothing to regret. It's just a pity that he has a close relationship with the city lord." Chu Yuan said indifferently.
"Haha, that's right. If you still have a good relationship with them now, you might be more helpful to me. Hey, then again, you might not be around me anymore... Hahaha."
"Let's go. Today is a family gathering. The uncles are going to announce something. We have to go and see it early. Chu Tian is just the genius he once was. He was once..."
"Although it has some influence, I don't really care about it. It's this Yan Ling'er who really makes me feel itchy."
"But it doesn't matter. Maybe you will feel more at ease today. Hehe, strength is the foundation of this world, and it depends on the present."
"Yes...Brother Hao is the peerless genius of our Chu family." Amid the praises of everyone, Chu Hao and others walked to the party hall.
