Chu Tianxiao was not surprised by the invitation from Third Master Chu. In fact, he was willing to fight this battle today, largely to meet the "family patron saint", Third Master Chu, Chu Zhongtie!
Although he said yesterday that he wanted to visit Uncle San, Chu Tianxiao knew very well that it was just a polite remark. According to Uncle San's temperament, if he wanted to see him, he would definitely come to invite him. If he didn't want to see him, it would be useless even if he begged him. So Chu Tianxiao had been waiting for Uncle Fu to say this...
"He is in charge of the family's criminal justice affairs, and he is the biggest help in my turnaround..." A resolute figure appeared in Chu Tianxiao's mind, "Come to think of it... It's been a long time since I last saw my third uncle. My impression of him is a little vague..."
"Well, it's time."
Chu Tianxiao clasped his fists and bowed to Uncle Fu: "Uncle Fu, please lead the way."
"Well, please follow me, Second Young Master." The hunchbacked old man nodded and walked slowly forward. The Chu family disciples looked at Chu Tianxiao with respect - they were not all supporters of Chu He, and they were also very dissatisfied with the elders' behavior of "inviting foreign enemies into the house to slap their own faces". When they saw Chu Tianxiao decisively and ruthlessly defeating the invading enemy, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and their attitude towards Chu Tianxiao also changed a lot...
In short, this move by Chu Tianxiao has raised his reputation to a higher level, which is worth it!
Seeing this scene, the elders of the Chuhe faction were even more ashamed and angry. This was also one of the reasons why Chu Tianxiao was not panicked at all when facing Chuhe, who had integrated 90% of the forces. With more people, there would inevitably be more stupid teammates. Moreover, the true emperor always relied on crushing to reorganize the family. How many of them would train their subordinates' emotional intelligence? These people were just stupid teammates who could play a little trick. Facing the evil prodigal, they were full of flaws and could not withstand a single blow!
They are all paper tigers!
Of course, Chu Tianxiao's thoughts would never be known to these elders. What they are most concerned about now is not this, but Uncle Fu who is walking in front step by step...
Mr. Chu San... meeting Chu Tianxiao at this time
He had just ordered Master Chu He to go into seclusion yesterday and not to leave the training ground, but today he bluntly said he wanted to see Chu Tianxiao
What a "dangerous" signal this is for Chu He!
With this thought, the group was extremely anxious and left immediately, rushing to Chuhe's retreat site to inform him of the incident...
Chu He was not surprised to learn that Chu Tianxiao had broken through again, but he did not expect that Chu Tianxiao had learned the first two moves of the Star Soul Sword Canon overnight...
The situation was gradually out of his control...
"That's all..."
"At this point, I have to go all out at the Alchemy Conference in half a month... I can only... do this!"
…
Not long after.
The old servant called Uncle Fu stopped and made a gesture of invitation towards the peach orchard in front of him.
Chu Tianxiao was a little surprised. It would have been fine if the peach blossoms in front of him were obviously out of season, but what surprised him was that with his uncle's strong personality, why would he meet him in such a place
At this moment, Chu Tianxiao saw a figure in front of him...
Not bad... It completely overlaps with the vague shadow in my memory...
The middle-aged man, with dark skin, tall and sturdy, stood upright like a solid iron tower, cast in steel and iron, indestructible! He had a square face, with sharp features as if carved by a knife or an axe.
There was a domineering aura all over his body that was really heavy, but it didn't seem to conflict with the peaceful atmosphere around him. There was a strange feeling of gradual fusion... The more he looked, the more he felt that it was true.
"… Uncle San finally understood the principle that the stronger the body, the easier it is to break, and began to try to integrate the principle of preferring to break rather than bend with it?"
Chu Tianxiao was slightly surprised. He looked at the middle-aged man again and felt his cultivation was more and more profound. He was afraid that, as the rumors said, he had surpassed the Soul Awakening Realm and entered the ranks of great practitioners...
No wonder Lian Chuhe has to stay dormant under his command for the time being.
Chu Tianxiao walked forward and bowed, "Third Uncle."
Chu Zhongtie looked at him, and just like that, his eyes seemed to carry some kind of pressure, causing Chu Tianxiao to breathe slightly...
"So strong... Third Uncle's strength is probably even stronger than I imagined. He has really entered the Spiritual Joy Realm..."
Chu Tianxiao took a deep breath and was about to circulate his inner energy to resist, but the deep meaning in Chu Zhongtie's eyes suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by appreciation and... relief.
"Tian Xiao... you have grown up."
"As expected of my second brother's son, and indeed of my Chu family's legitimate son! Not bad!"
"Third uncle, thank you for your compliment." Chu Tianxiao was about to say something polite, but Chu Zhongtie waved his hand and said, "Sit down and talk."
"… yes."
Chu Tianxiao sat down on the stone chair, facing the third master of the Chu family. Chu Zhongtie was the first to speak: "You have been away from home for a long time. Are you used to living in the Young Master's Mansion?"
Chu Tianxiao narrowed his eyes and said, "It's OK."
"... Tianxiao, Uncle San wants to ask you something, and you must answer truthfully, but I... don't need to ask Xinhe, do you understand?"
Chu Tianxiao nodded: "Uncle San, please go ahead."
"... Do you really have to compete with Chu He for the position of Patriarch of the Chu Family?"
Chu Tianxiao hesitated for a moment and said, "I will take on this responsibility."
“…Is there really no room for maneuver?”
Chu Tianxiao shook his head and said, "It's not a question of whether I am willing to turn back... The situation is like this, we can only fight."
Chu Zhongtie closed his eyes and said, "So, you are here to convince Uncle San to support you?"
"… Yes."
"Then you should also know that I have never changed my decision once."
"… I know."
Chu Zhongtie stood up and said with a little pain: "Tianxiao, you know, the moment I saw you, I really regretted it..."
"If you had shown your talent earlier, like today... No, if you could only achieve half of what you have today, Third Uncle would definitely support you to the end!"
Chu Zhongtie sighed and said, "What a pity..."
"Now, it's too late."
"The battle for the Imperial Garden is imminent, the Chu family cannot be in chaos, this is Third Uncle's bottom line!"
"Young Master's Building, Third Uncle owes you this, and I should help you get it back, but... that's it!"
Chu Tianxiao narrowed his eyes slightly. Actually, ever since Uncle Fu came to ask Chu He to leave yesterday, Chu Tianxiao had already vaguely seen Chu Zhongtie's intention... He helped him take back the Young Master Building, not to support him and compete with Chu He, but to give him a place to live to avoid being tricked by Chu He, and then... everything ends here!
After getting the Young Master's Building, I can barely survive in the Chu family, but if I want to fight back further, I must get the support of Chu Zhongtie. As long as he is determined not to support Chu Tianxiao, then... the two sides can only be in a stalemate, at least before the battle for the Imperial Garden begins, it will always be like this...
Chu Zhongtie stared at Chu Tianxiao, his expression extremely serious: "Family is the most important!"
"To be fair, your recent performance is very much to Uncle San's liking. Based on my friendship with my second brother and the promise we made back then... I should also support you."
"But, that's emotional! Logically, it's absolutely not allowed!"
Chu Zhongtie said seriously, "In the past few years, the Chu River has become a major power. If Third Uncle turns to support you, there will be a fierce battle. By then, the Chu family will be trapped in a long-term civil strife. The battle for the Imperial Garden that has been planned for ten years will be completely hopeless. And this... is something that your late uncle, your father, and Third Uncle, don't want to see..."
"and… "
Chu Zhongtie paused, his expression becoming more solemn, and he looked at Chu Tianxiao and said, "Chu He will be a good patriarch." (To be continued.)
