"He's actually a lackey?"
"Interesting! Really interesting! The young master brought us here to solemnly welcome the second young master, but he brought a female lackey with him?"
"Hehe... Don't misunderstand the Second Young Master. He has been away from the Chu family for a long time. He just came back and his horizons are still unstable. He brings in all kinds of people!"
"I remember now! Isn't this the girl who escaped from the Mu family? So she ran to the Second Young Master's side and became his lackey? Haha... The original proud girl actually fell into such a state. It's really sad. I just don't know... whose fault is this?"
Mu Liuling seemed to have not heard of these rumors, and was as indifferent as Chu Tianxiao. However, in the eyes of Elder Chu Ming, it was not the case at all. He snorted coldly and said, "Miss Mu, from what you just said when you interrupted me, it seems that you have something to say?"
"I don't deserve your advice, but you just said that my young master has just returned and is not familiar with the affairs. You also said that if the Young Master Building is handed over to my young master, it will be ruined and collapsed, right?"
"I didn't say that, but it's obvious..."
"What nonsense!" Mu Liuling interrupted him loudly before he could finish speaking, and the expression on his face changed immediately.
"My young master is not familiar with the affairs of the Chu family?" Mu Liuling said coldly, "I dare not say that I know the huge Chu family well, but as a lackey under the young master, I believe that I can manage the Young Master's Building without any problem!"
After these words fell, the whole audience was in an uproar. When everyone was about to refute, Chu He shook his head slightly: "Alright, you don't need to say anything more. I believe that Miss Mu is capable of managing it. The Young Master Building will never be ruined if it is handed over to Tian Xiao's cousin..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone on Chu He's side was dumbfounded. Only a few old people who had followed Chu He the longest guessed his thoughts. The rest of them were all holding their breath. If it weren't for Chu He's sake, they would have ridiculed him at this moment...
Chu Tianxiao smiled slightly, held Mu Liuling's shoulder, shook his head slightly, and said to Chu He: "You are a good person. Know when to stop. Otherwise, your group's faces will be swollen."
After these words were spoken, the group of people became even more unconvinced, but because of Chu He's intimidation, they said nothing, but the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.
Mu Liuling frowned when she saw this, and was about to step forward, but Chu Tianxiao smiled faintly: "Give them some face, Liuling, after all... they are family."
The last three words were spoken with great emphasis, and Mu Liuling paused. However, this was seen as a sign of guilt by others, and immediately, the contempt in the room intensified...
However, the next moment, Chu He sneered: "Do you think this Miss Mu is joking? Let me tell you, although she is called Tian Xiao's cousin's lackey, she also has another identity - the chief steward of the Purple Robe Marquis's Mansion!"
After these words fell, the group of people behind Chu He were in an uproar - the chief steward? Just her? A little girl
How is that possible!
These people showed disbelief, but as Chu He told them about Mu Liuling's deeds one by one, they... all lost their voices.
"Not to mention that she is the chief steward of the Purple Marquis's Mansion and has been in charge of the sales of 'jewelry' for some time, how much profit she has brought to the Purple Marquis' Mansion, just look at her first fierce battle, and how she used calculations to force the Qin family to retreat. Many of you simply cannot do it!"
"If she helps... How can cousin Tian Xiao not be qualified to be in charge of the Young Master Building?"
Chu He snorted mercilessly: "Miss Mu is not an ordinary person, and my cousin is not an ordinary person either. You all remember this, don't spread rumors or be lazy!"
The group of people nodded their heads one after another when they heard this. Chu Tianxiao curled his lips and roughly guessed Chu He's intention of scolding his family - it was nothing more than retreating to advance, warning, and also to make friends with Liu Ling in case of poaching...
What a pity...
The lackey of the prodigal son, is that something that your true love can dig up? Don't overestimate your own abilities!
Chu Tianxiao didn't take this matter to heart at all. Seeing that Mu Liuling had been slapped in the face, he didn't say much and went straight to the point: "Cousin Chu He, I won't lie to you! Tonight, I have to stay in the Young Master's Mansion. There are still two hours before sunset. You can get ready."
After these words fell, there was an uproar on the other side, and even Chu He stared at him slightly: "Cousin Tianxiao, I have already said that I will not occupy the magpie's nest, but... two hours, you are too much to ask, aren't you?"
"Really..." Chu Tianxiao smiled playfully, "What's so difficult about that?"
"It's a big building. Isn't it too much to move it within two hours?"
"Why do we have to move everything?" Chu Tianxiao waved his hand. "Leave all the resources, Taoist methods, secret manuals, and martial arts you got inside to me intact! Isn't it better if you just leave?"
"Two hours, easily. I think I gave you too much time."
Hearing this, there was another uproar on the other side. It was Chu He, whose face darkened a little. He laughed, "Cousin Tian Xiao, your request... is a little..."
Chu Tianxiao seemed to be unable to understand the meaning of Chu He's words, but looked at the young master's building leisurely, and changed the subject, saying: "I heard that... my cousin is an alchemist, and he is invincible among his peers?"
He chuckled, clasped his fists, and his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
"Cousin, Chu Tianxiao is not talented."
"Please enlighten me."
Chu Tianxiao, who had been accumulating momentum since entering Kyoto, finally reached his peak of power...
Bared the fangs!
…
…
"If I win this competition, please stay away from the Young Master's Building from now on, and leave your things behind! If you win, I will never set foot in the Chu family again. How do you think?"
When this voice came out, everyone on the opposite side was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter!
"From what the Second Young Master said, he wants to compete with you in alchemy?"
"Hehe... I advise the Second Young Master not to bring shame upon himself..."
"Comparing alchemy skills? Second Young Master, do you know how many people are like you, wanting to challenge you in this field and become famous by stepping on you, but the result is... hehe!"
"Since several years ago, you have always been the best in every alchemy conference. I don't know how many senior alchemists want to take you as their apprentice, but they... never agreed in the end, because you can do what they can do, and you can do what they can't do! They... can't teach you anything! What you lack now is just time to hone your skills. Sooner or later, you will become a senior alchemist!"
"Young Master, your eyes have long since stopped looking at your peers in terms of alchemy! Second Young Master, your information is too outdated!"
"Second Young Master, are you in such a hurry to leave the Chu family? You just got here!"
"Haha, Second Young Master, you can't afford to lose face, so you want to give up the Young Master's Building in a dignified manner? But, I'm afraid that even if you do this, you will lose... in a very undignified way!"
Everyone started to laugh, forgetting the embarrassing situation of being slapped in the face by Mu Liuling. Even Chu He's expression changed. He looked slightly surprised and his eyes narrowed.
His first thought was: "What is this loser...doing?"
With Chu He's ability, he would know that Chu Tianxiao was taking advantage of the situation to challenge him. If he succeeded, it would not only be a great show of power, but more importantly, he would be at a disadvantage again. By then... If he even lost his best move, Young Master Lou would have no reason not to return it to Chu Tianxiao!
This is the crushing power of "momentum". Once Chu Tianxiao wins this battle, it will be a sure thing for him to take back the Young Master's Building!
Moreover... at this point, Chu Tianxiao has the upper hand, and Chu He, as the de facto young master of the Chu family, cannot refuse a match no matter from which perspective!
Thinking of this, Chu He narrowed his eyes slightly: "I heard that at the Tianjue Autumn Night Banquet, Qin Yun won 19 games in a row and challenged Tian Xiao cousin with a gun... I didn't expect that this trick was learned by Tian Xiao cousin."
Chu Tianxiao smiled slightly: "This kind of method, just learn to show off at the beginning and crush them, but the ending... may not be the same as before." (To be continued.).
