"A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant hole!"
"What's more, this prodigal son wants to use his money to smash a big hole in the thousand-mile long dike that I, Chu He, built with great difficulty? I will never make such a mistake of underestimating the enemy, and the same goes for you subordinates! From today on, all of this person's whereabouts must be reported to me, even the female lackeys around him!"
The subordinate shuddered upon hearing this. Yes, Chu Tianxiao only received some "unimportant people" for money, but how long has he been here? What was the Chu family like before, and what is it like now? Not to mention that many people will definitely join Chu Tianxiao, but after he played such a big move, many people will definitely have such a thought in their hearts: It seems that the second young master is not bad to be the head of the family, better than the eldest young master...
Don't underestimate this idea! Think about the "silent majority" and you will know how terrible this idea is... After all, Chu He's so-called "90% support" does not mean that 90% of the Chu family members love him and are willing to stand up to him at the critical moment!
A thousand-mile long dam can be breached by a single ant hole. This is no joke!
Thinking of this, the subordinate almost broke out in a cold sweat - if it weren't for the young master's good management of the family, if it were someone else, I'm afraid that today this prodigal son would have undermined the foundation of his family!
Thinking of this, he did not dare to neglect it and nodded his head quickly. After that, Chu He calmed down a little and said calmly, "… Have you collected all the materials needed for the new version of the Nine Soul Heavenly Pill as I instructed?"
The subordinate nodded and said, "Sir, we have collected all the information. You are truly a genius. I believe you will take the top spot again in the alchemy conference in half a month!"
Chu He said leisurely, "I didn't intend to use this pill so early... But once this prodigal son came, people's minds changed. I need to use a hearty victory to shut up those parasites and settle the minds of those servants! This pill meeting is destined to have a group of dull people. If they want to blame someone, they can blame this prodigal son."
"The show of weakness we showed a few days ago also caught a lot of big fish. If it happens again, we should close the net."
The subordinate lowered his head even lower: "Yes!"
"Well... Now, come with me to the Young Master's Building."
…
"Well, now, we can go to the Young Master's Building."
The sun's shadow was slanting, and seeing that the "red envelopes" had been almost distributed, Chu Tianxiao patted the Thunder Dragon Fierce Horse's head, put it into the Beast Taming Bracelet, and turned to Mu Liuling and said, "Liuling, let's go."
"Everyone says... the blue lobsters in Young Master's House are good. They are Chu He's favorite."
Chu Tianxiao smiled slightly: "After today, he has to change his habits."
…
…
When Chu Tianxiao arrived in front of the Young Master's Building, Chu He and others were already ready for battle.
This was also the first time Chu Tianxiao saw Chu He in person after "traveling through time".
But standing in front of him was a handsome man, dressed in white, standing with his hands behind his back. He had a very noble and smart temperament, but there was a hint of arrogance between his brows... He looked like a combination of a hermit and a king.
"Cousin Tianxiao has arrived?"
As soon as he saw Chu Tianxiao, Chu He showed a perfect smile on his face. His voice seemed to have a strange affinity, making it difficult for people to dislike him.
"Cousin." Chu Tianxiao clasped his fists and bowed. Mu Liuling behind him also bowed, but there was always a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
Behind Chu He, there were several elders, who were obviously his direct descendants. At this moment, they were all looking at Chu Tianxiao with unfriendly eyes.
Chu Tianxiao didn't want to play along with them, so he said bluntly: "My cousin, thank you for your hard work in managing the Young Master's Building for me over the years."
As soon as these words fell, the faces of several elders behind Chu He suddenly changed, especially Chu Huang, who was standing not far from him and had appeared at the Autumn Night Banquet. He immediately showed a look of choosing someone, as if he wanted to settle new and old grudges with Chu Tianxiao immediately.
"Haha, this is what I should do as a brother." Chu He smiled slightly, "Now that cousin Tian Xiao is back, then, cousin will not occupy the magpie's nest. This Young Master Building..."
Before he finished speaking, someone behind him said loudly: "Young Master! What you said is not right, what do you mean by occupying the magpie's nest? You can only live in this Young Master's Building after you have officially passed the clan's trial, you can't just come in casually! You have the right to do so, how can you say that you have occupied the magpie's nest..."
"That's right, young master. You hold the seal of the Young Master, and you are the legitimate master of the Young Master Building. You are not like some people... who rely on a good father and an empty title to bully others..."
"Your contribution to the Young Master Building is obvious to everyone in the family. This Young Master Building is yours! Who said you are occupying the magpie's nest?"
These people were speaking very rudely, and Chu He immediately shouted, "Shut up! Cousin Tian Xiao is the real young master of the family. I have only been helping him out these years! Look at what you are saying now!"
After these words were spoken, the group of people not only did not calm down, but instead became even more noisy.
"Master! You are just too kind-hearted! You have lived in this Young Master's Mansion for several years, how can you just move out like that?"
"Some people are too good at putting on airs, aren't they? The Chu family is so big, with so many empty houses, there are so many places for them to live, but they have to come to the Young Master's Mansion..."
"That's right. I have already determined that you are the Young Master. Only you can live in this Young Master's Building. Others... Humph!"
"Sir, all the things in the Young Master's Mansion are your hard work! How can you give them to a loser... Humph, waste it!"
"Think twice, sir! Young Master's Mansion concerns the hearts of our Chu family. If it changes easily, it will cause people to change their minds and that will be bad! Now that the battle for the Imperial Garden is getting closer, the Chu family cannot afford to be in chaos, sir!"
The last sentence of 'unpleasant but honest advice' seemed to have played a role. Chu He's face suddenly showed a trace of hesitation. When he was hesitating, an elder came forward and laughed, "Young Master, what Elder Qu Fa said is also reasonable. The change of Young Master Building is a big deal... Second Young Master has just returned and is not familiar with family affairs. If you let him take charge of Young Master Building, it will be a mess! This is not helping him, but hurting him! Oh..." At this point, the elder seemed to remember something, and hurriedly bowed to Chu Tianxiao, shaking his cane, and said, "I'm sorry, Second Young Master, don't blame me for my words. This... I'm not saying that you are unlearned and can't manage the family well, and even Young Master Building will fail... What I mean is, I just think that if Young Master Building is destroyed by you, Second Young Master, it will be bad for your reputation in the family tree in the future... Oh, look at my mouth! You deserve to be beaten! How could you curse the Second Young Master? You are still young and ignorant... "
After these words were spoken, Chu Tianxiao had a blank expression on his face, but Mu Liuling had secretly clenched his fists, and then gave Chu Tianxiao a questioning look.
“Hey, this little girl…” Chu Tianxiao couldn’t help but burst out laughing when he saw this. This female lackey of his was too serious. But at this moment, he still nodded out of protection.
Mu Liuling's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he stepped forward and said, "This must be Elder Chu Mingchu, right? Liuling is polite."
The elder was talking excitedly when he was interrupted by Mu Liuling. He immediately felt unhappy and said unhappily: "This girl is..."
"The leader of the young master's lackeys, Mu Liuling." Mu Liuling said without reservation. When he said this, the elders and Chu He's subordinates on the opposite side were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter! (To be continued.)
