Zhang Chu's face was as black as ink at this moment.
Bullying the younger generation of another family was originally an extremely common thing. Even the stewards of the major families would do things like bullying the younger generations for the benefit of their own families.
But unexpectedly, the bullying Chen Feng this time turned out to be a tough guy, and this tough guy broke all of Zhang Chu's teeth in one go.
"Zhang Chu, what's going on!" Luo Gangcheng frowned and glared at Zhang Chu: "The great talents of my Alchemist Union were almost completely wiped out by you!"
"I know my crime!" Zhang Chu fell to his knees, looking at Luo Gangcheng in fear, trembling all over. The laws of the Alchemist Association are strict, no less stringent than those of ordinary sects. With Luo Gangcheng's regard for Chen Feng, Zhang Chu could even foresee how severe the punishment he would receive would be.
"Humph!" Luo Gangcheng said angrily, "Let Chen Feng judge your sins. Whether you live or die is up to Chen Feng's words!"
Chen Feng looked at Luo Gangcheng unexpectedly, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. This Luo Gangcheng must have thought too highly of Chen Feng, and actually handed Zhang Chu over to him for trial.
However, following Luo Gangcheng's words, Chen Feng's mind became active. How to deal with Zhang Chu was also an extremely tricky matter.
If Chen Feng severely punished Zhang Chu, he would have offended the Zhang family completely. After all, the Zhang family was the largest force in the Alchemist Association, with tremendous power. If Chen Feng had offended them completely, although the Zhang family might not embarrass Chen Feng for Luo Gangcheng's sake, as long as they secretly targeted Chen Feng, Chen Feng would probably have difficulty taking any steps in the Alchemist Association in the future.
Moreover, although the Zhang family had offended Chen Feng many times, there was no deep hatred between the two sides. Severe punishment of Zhang Chu could certainly bring temporary relief, but it was unwise to fall out with the Zhang family over such a villain.
However, if he lets Zhang Chu go, Chen Feng will certainly lose face and give people a cowardly impression. People who practice cultivation are all arrogant. If others bully and humiliate you, but you remain indifferent or even do not pursue it, then people will definitely look down on you. In this case, it will be much more difficult for Chen Feng to gain a foothold in the future.
Therefore, how to punish Zhang Chu is a science. Chen Feng must punish Zhang Chu, but it cannot be too severe or too light. If it is too severe, it will inevitably cause unpleasantness with the Zhang family, and if it is too light, people will think that Chen Feng is easy to bully.
Therefore, Chen Feng must adjust the intensity of the punishment to the most perfect level.
Zhang Chu knelt on the ground, looking at Chen Feng eagerly. He couldn't bear to admit his mistake and beg for mercy from Chen Feng. After all, Chen Feng was just a junior, and begging for mercy from a junior would undoubtedly make him a laughing stock in the future.
Luo Gangcheng did not urge him. He just looked at Chen Feng with a smile, a gleam in his eyes.
"In that case, then I'll tell you." After a while, Chen Feng suddenly smiled.
"Well, go ahead!" Luo Gangcheng also said with a smile.
Zhang Chao looked at Chen Feng with sharp eyes. If Chen Feng went too far, he wouldn't mind falling out on the spot. After all, this matter concerned the reputation of his Zhang family!
"Zhang Chu, for his own personal revenge, actually used his status as a deacon to bully me, intending to make me fail the assessment. This sin deserves severe punishment!" Chen Feng said in a firm tone, his voice full of unquestionableness.
Zhang Chao's face suddenly turned cold. He waved his sleeves and opened his mouth to speak, but heard Chen Feng speak again.
"However, this time it was just an accident. If Zhang Chao hadn't deliberately made things difficult for me and asked me to refine the Songhua Pill, I wouldn't have been able to perform beyond my normal level and refine a pill of this quality. So, strictly speaking, Zhang Chu even has some credit!" Chen Feng continued.
Zhang Chao's expression eased slightly, and he also read a sense of kindness in Chen Feng's words.
"The merits and demerits offset each other, and I don't want to pursue Zhang Chu's crimes anymore. However, I suffered a loss after all, and the Zhang family must give me some compensation. Otherwise, my Tao heart will not be fulfilled, and it will inevitably cast some shadows on my future cultivation." Chen Feng said here, and his eyes fell on Zhang Chao.
At this moment, although Zhang Chao was somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Feng's request for compensation, he also knew that Chen Feng's words had undoubtedly given face to their Zhang family.
At that moment, he stated, "In this matter, it was Zhang Chu who offended you on his own initiative, so my Zhang family will naturally punish you severely. As for the compensation you mentioned, it's easy to talk about, but, Chen Feng, what do you want my Zhang family to give you?"
Chen Feng smiled. He knew that his speed was just within Zhang Chao's tolerance range. He raised a finger and said, "I want to borrow the Zhang family's alchemy inheritance to see it!"
"Impossible!" Zhang Chao suddenly became furious: "Chen Feng, the alchemy inheritance of my Zhang family cannot be viewed by anyone except the core disciples of my Zhang family. Yes, Zhang Chu has offended you, but you want to use this to threaten my Zhang family to let you see the alchemy inheritance, but it is impossible!"
"Master Zhang, please don't be angry. Listen to me!" Chen Feng smiled faintly, "I know that the alchemy inheritance of each alchemy family is extremely noble and is not easily shared with outsiders. The Zhang family has been able to stand in the Alchemist Union for so long, so they definitely have an extraordinary inheritance. I do want to see the Zhang family's ballistic inheritance, but we can set a time limit!"
"Huh?" Zhang Chao's face still looked unhappy, but he suppressed his anger.
"Three days!" Chen Feng raised his finger and said to Zhang Chao, "Only three days. After three days, no matter if I gain anything or not, I must return the alchemy inheritance of the Zhang family!"
"Three days?" Zhang Chao's eyes finally flashed with thought. If it was only three days, it would be acceptable. After all, the alchemy inheritance was extremely vast. Even a genius of the devil could not comprehend the alchemy inheritance within three days. In his opinion, in three days, Chen Feng could not even learn the basics of his Zhang family's alchemy inheritance!
"Zhang Chao, since it's only three days, as the head of a family, don't you have the courage to agree?" At this time, Luo Gangcheng also spoke.
Zhang Chao's eyebrows flashed with thought, and after a long while, he nodded fiercely: "Okay, just three days!"
As he spoke, a jade slip appeared in his hand. The jade slip was shining with a bright and precious light, and it was obvious that it was extraordinary.
"Take it. I'll send someone to pick it up in three days!" Zhang Chao said, and solemnly placed the jade slip in Chen Feng's hand, then said loudly: "If you run away with the jade slip, I will ask the president for compensation!"
"Zhang Chao, if Chen Feng really ran away with the jade slip, just come to me!" Luo Gangcheng said solemnly.
"I hope the president will keep his word!" Zhang Chao said, and then he turned around and left the examination room. As soon as he left, most of the people from the Zhang family also left, leaving only about half of them.
"Okay, let's all go!" Luo Gangcheng waved his hand and said.
"President!" At this moment, Director Lin walked up respectfully and bowed.
"Mr. Lin, is there anything else?" Luo Gangcheng said with a smile.
"President, I want to take the test to become a level six alchemist. Please spare some time to take the test!" Director Lin said solemnly, causing Luo Gangcheng to raise his eyebrows.
