"This is probably the worst news I have heard since I returned home..."
"What?"
After Chu Tianxiao said this, not only the three villains were confused, but Mu Liuling was also full of confusion.
"Young Patriarch! Didn't you hear clearly? Chu He was suppressed by the other Divine Marquis families! Yes, he was suppressed! Although it was not a big defeat, compared with the previous hearty victory, his momentum was much weaker! Everyone said that Chu He might have run out of talent. At this alchemy meeting, many people were sharpening their swords and preparing to fight to become famous!"
Chu Tianxiao sneered: "Suppression? Exhaustion of talent? Become famous in one battle?"
"Then they will realize... how stupid this idea is!"
Chu Tianxiao looked out the window with deep eyes: "I see... Chu He, not only do you want to stabilize morale and reunite people at the alchemy meeting, but you also want to catch so many people in one fell swoop and establish your supreme legend?"
"If you had started planning a few months ago, and there was no external support for you, you just happened to escape the restrictions of the stay-at-home order..."
"You are really playing a big game of chess."
After hearing this, the three villains were not smart enough to react, but Mu Liuling's eyes lit up: "Young Master, are you saying that Chu He is showing weakness? He is luring the enemy deep into our territory, and then... capturing them all in one fell swoop?"
Chu Tianxiao looked at Mu Liuling with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and nodded, "Liuling, what do you think? If Chu He defeated all the heroes in the alchemy conference, and instantly destroyed the enemy who was so proud of himself some time ago, so that my Chu family could win the victory, and I could become a disciple of Feng Chujun, and further enhance my prestige..."
The more Chu Tianxiao spoke, the more solemn Mu Liuling's expression became. A drop of sweat on his forehead wet the end of his hair and slowly fell down, making a crisp dripping sound.
"Chu He, you want to use the method that the young master used to seize the young master's building to turn against the young master? To crush him with great power?"
Chu Tianxiao nodded. "It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. Often, the so-called justice is just the words of the powerful. If Chu He really succeeds in this 'catching a turtle in a jar' and reverses the situation, his reputation in the Chu family will completely crush me. By then... our situation will be very passive."
Mu Liuling was very anxious when he heard this: "Then young master, we..."
"Chu He used the general trend, combined with his own strength, and perhaps some other means that we don't know about yet... He can indeed achieve such an incredible myth."
"This is a crushing defeat. For us, there is almost no solution."
Hearing this, Mu Liuling clenched her hands and frowned, "Is there really no other way?"
"Don't worry, Liu Ling." Chu Tianxiao said slowly, "I'm just saying that there is no solution for us. Because none of us can improve our alchemy skills to the point where we can fight Chu He in a short period of time..."
Chu Tianxiao paused and was silent for a moment. Suddenly, a slight arc appeared on the corner of his mouth: "But..."
"It's just that there is no solution for us!"
"What does the young master mean?"
Chu Tianxiao laughed and did not answer. He only thought with evil humor in his heart: Targeting Chu He, counterattacking and stomping on his face to show off... this kind of thing should be left to "professionals"!
Although he did not expect Chu He to launch such a fierce attack so soon and play such a big game, fortunately, Chu Tianxiao's previous work was not in vain. He had already laid down chess pieces to compete with him. Although the situation was still a bit critical, Chu Tianxiao was thinking more about five words...
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk!
With a thought, he looked at Mu Liuling, tapped his chin and said something that almost shocked Mu Liuling...
"Liuling, tell me, if we operate properly, can we win this time against Chu He, who has been setting up this 'game' for a long time?"
Then, before Mu Liuling could react, Chu Tianxiao took a piece of paper, wrote a bunch of things on it, handed it to Mu Liuling, and said in a voice transmission: "Find a way to pass this thing... accidentally to that Jinghui."
Then, Chu Tianxiao looked at the three villains again and smiled: "You also need to do something."
"Young Master, just give me your orders! I will go through fire and water..."
Chu Tianxiao waved his hand to interrupt their flattery and said something that shocked them: "On my behalf, go and declare war on Chu He!"
…
…
Ever since Chu Tianxiao returned to the Chu family in Kyoto, this family has become lively. Something happens every now and then. Just yesterday, when things were quiet for a day, a shocking piece of news caused an uproar...
Chu Tianxiao, as the young master of the Chu family, ordered Chu He to hand over the young master's seal immediately, and came to the young master's building to apologize, to show his reflection on his years of usurpation!
This action is tantamount to declaring war!
Chu He's reaction was also quite intense. He responded immediately: Chu Tianxiao's position as the young master of the family was just the product of the compromise back then. He has not been in the position for so many years, and has not been involved in the affairs of the family. He has long lost the qualifications of the young master of the family. Not only did he refuse to hand over the seal of the young master of the family, but he also demanded that Chu Tianxiao immediately abdicate and return the position of the young master of the family and the young master's building to the 'true' eldest son, Chu He!
This incident happened in full view of everyone, and the news spread like wildfire into the ears of countless people. Even many ignorant servants saw clearly that the two young masters of the Chu family had finally stopped pretending and had completely fallen out with each other!
For a while, all parties paid attention to it. The attitude of the third master of the Chu family was still unclear, but he no longer firmly supported Chu He. This gave many people more speculations... They knew that a fight between dragons and tigers was inevitable!
…
Two days later, in the servants' quarters.
"Have you heard? The second young master has declared war on the eldest young master! Now the two sides are like water and fire, there are frictions every day, and a lot of big and small things. It's so lively!" Before a servant went up to the bed, he said excitedly to another person beside him.
"I heard that... the second young master is really ruthless. He has only been back for a few days? First he took back the Young Master's Building, then defeated the people from Liuyue Sword Sect, and won over the hearts of some of the Chu family's children. Now he has even declared war directly. Thinking about this... it feels like a dream."
"Yes, Master Chu He built the Chu family into a solid foundation, but the Second Young Master destroyed it like this. Now the two sides are evenly matched..."
"Equally matched? Don't be ridiculous! It's obvious that the young master has the upper hand!" At this time, another person also joined the discussion. They were slaves of low status, and their biggest "entertainment" on weekdays was to satisfy their desire to eat.
"That's right. Even if the Third Master suddenly chooses to remain neutral, the First Master still has two direct descendants. They are both veteran elites and cannot be resisted by the Second Master!"
"Humph! That may not be the case. Although the Second Young Master is still weak now, he has the support of the Young Master's Building. The Third Young Master's attitude is unclear. Maybe one day he can turn the defense into the offense..."
"Stop dreaming!"
A group of people started to argue and chatter. At this time, a young man named Lin Ying suddenly pushed someone next to him and said softly, "Ah Hui! Ah Hui! Don't sleep! Come and talk to us. Who do you think is better, the eldest young master or the second young master?"
The slave Jinghui didn't even turn his head when he heard this. He sneered in his heart and thought that it was just two dogs fighting over a bone. What was there to guess? But his face remained expressionless and he said, "I don't know either."
After these words fell, Lin Ying was slightly stunned. He obviously didn't expect that Jinghui, who used to work in the same team with him and had a good relationship with him, would suddenly use such a strange tone. But before he could figure out the change in Jinghui, someone snorted: "Tsk, you have no guts. Are you so afraid that the news will get out?"
"That's right. There are so many of us here, and everyone has said it, but you are the only one who doesn't say anything. Do you feel comfortable with this?"
There was a lot of noise in the room, and Lin Ying looked suspicious: "Ah Hui, didn't you always love to talk about the eldest and second young masters? Why today..."
“… Humph, no matter who wins, what does it have to do with us?” Jinghui narrowed his eyes slightly, as if a gleam of light flashed in them, but his tone was casual. After saying this, he stopped talking. Seeing that he had an ambiguous tone again, everyone felt bored and no one paid any attention to him. Instead, they continued to quarrel and discuss, making a lot of noise… Such noisy sounds did not gradually disappear until late at night.
At this moment, Jinghui took a deep breath and suddenly opened his eyes. Then, he looked at the servants sleeping in extremely indecent positions and sneered, "You only know how to talk behind my back. You really deserve to be slaves. But I, Jinghui, am different. I am no longer the same person I used to be!"
As he spoke, he unfolded his body skills and came outside the house. The cold moonlight shone on his face, revealing his extremely excited expression...
