In today's Shenzhou, geniuses are emerging in large numbers and wild flowers are blooming. Since a hundred years ago, generation after generation of geniuses have led the way, and among them, the Seven Sons of the Great Zhou are a hurdle that cannot be avoided.
They can be said to be the most outstanding group of people in the Great Zhou Dynasty!
The Seven Sons of the Great Zhou Dynasty were replaced every ten years, and only the peerless geniuses under the age of 40 and over the age of 30 were selected. Once they became the Seven Sons of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they basically transcended their original families and became independent beings. They were given titles and had a transcendent status. They enjoyed all kinds of superb resources provided by the dynasty and lived an extremely comfortable life.
Even the weakest of the Seven Sons of the Great Zhou Dynasty is several times stronger than the so-called top geniuses in Kyoto! Even the top-ranked among the Seven Sons can beat all the geniuses in Kyoto with one hand! Because they are the seven peerless geniuses who were finally selected from countless geniuses.
And this Mu Xin is the last one among the Seven Sons of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although he has the lowest cultivation, he was selected as one of the Seven Sons of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How could he be an easy opponent? At that time, when the two dragons of the Chu family fought, some people exclaimed that the two of them were close to the level of the Seven Sons of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but... close, after all, it was just close... Even for this so-called "weakest" Mu Xin, few people knew his true strength...
Now, a letter from one of the Seven Sons of the Great Zhou was held in Chu Tianxiao's hand. He narrowed his eyes slightly and opened the envelope in front of everyone!
…
This was a seemingly ordinary congratulatory letter. It began with a few polite remarks and a few words about the friendship with the Chu family in the past, as a way of getting closer to the family. Then, there was a series of congratulations.
Congratulations to Chu Tianxiao for becoming the young master of the Chu family.
Congratulations to Chu Tianxiao for reuniting the Chu family.
Congratulations to Chu Tianxiao for defeating Chu He and becoming the top talent in Kyoto...
He even used words of gratitude, thanking Chu Tianxiao for helping him teach Mo Yi a lesson - as everyone knows, Mu Xin had a deep hatred with Mo Yi, and they met on a narrow road, but in the end, he let his opponent escape... This can be said to be a stain on the Seven Sons of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so in this letter, Mu Xin thanked Chu Tianxiao in great detail, saying that Chu Tianxiao would definitely become one of the Seven Sons of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future, and that he was a rising star with a promising future...
If it was only up to this point, it could be said that this Mu Xin was a friend, not an enemy. However, the following words made Chu Tianxiao's pupils shrink slightly, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth...
After saying all the good things he could, he started talking about business. In the letter, he mentioned that he had recently accepted a new disciple as his last disciple. This disciple was extremely talented and had a good relationship with him. He was originally qualified to inherit his mantle, but Mu Xin unexpectedly discovered that this disciple was suffering from a terminal illness and would die before the age of 20. The only thing that could save him was a treasure in the Imperial Garden, and it was called... Wuzhu Painting.
Mu Xin mentioned that this item was very rare, and he only knew about it by chance. In order to save his beloved disciple, he had to activate the Imperial Garden's protective formation and pour spiritual energy into his body... But as everyone knows, only the owner of the Imperial Garden can control this formation, and this matter must be done without any mistakes, which only his "eldest disciple" who has been trained for three years can do, so he made an unwelcome request...
Can Chu Tianxiao give up the fight for the Imperial Garden this time? After waiting for a year, he will cure his beloved disciple's terminal illness. At that time, he will definitely give up the sovereignty of the Imperial Garden and let it open again, allowing you, the Divine Marquis family, to fight for it again...
The letter mentioned that his beloved disciple's situation has become increasingly unstable recently, so he hoped that Chu Tianxiao would show mercy, otherwise...
In the last line, the writing style in the letter stands out with a certain sharpness, as if it is pointing to something.
"My disciple will take the Great Autumn Examination. I will also bring my beloved disciple to Kyoto and pay my respects to the Chu Palace."
After reading the letter, Chu Tianxiao smiled faintly, said nothing, and passed the letter down to let everyone in the Chu family circulate it... When everyone knew the content of the letter, Chu Zhongtie's face turned ashen, Mu Liuling also showed an angry expression with his teeth clenched, and the rest of the family members all showed a trace of resentment to a greater or lesser extent.
"This matter is very important... Let's go back home first."
Chu Tianxiao waved his hand and made a decision—after all, some things are hard to say in public.
When everyone returned to the Chu family, Chu Zhongtie immediately smashed a teacup!
"This is too much!"
Chu Tianxiao sat in the first seat and said leisurely: "I don't think this is a coincidence."
After a pause, Chu Tianxiao continued: "Too fast."
Hearing this, Mu Liuling nodded and said, "Young Master is right... Even if Mu Xin wrote this letter as soon as he knew that Young Master was better than Chu He, it would be impossible for it to be delivered to Kyoto so quickly... Not to mention the content... This letter must have been written by him before, with some inferences added... And the so-called 'beloved disciple's terminal illness' is probably just an excuse..."
As she spoke, she raised her face slightly and said, "Someone is behind the scenes, taking into account the possibility that the young master will win... This is a backhand move, in order to prevent us from participating in the battle for the Imperial Garden this time. At the very least, they can sow discord and kill someone with a borrowed knife..."
"It's not really a case of using someone else's knife to kill someone..." Chu Tianxiao said leisurely, "Mostly it's mutual use, collusion of interests... It's nothing more than seeing who has better means. However, this Mu Xin is used to being arrogant and domineering. If he plays with his brain, he will eventually be used as a knife by others, so... this is not bad."
"At least... this letter was definitely not written by this person."
Chu Tianxiao raised the letter in his hand and said, "This letter... is too exquisite. Even the courtesy, praise and congratulations at the beginning are not nonsense, and it is not just a matter of courtesy before force. More importantly, this last of the Seven Sons of the Great Zhou, or someone else, wants to tell me... he knows everything about me."
Chu Tianxiao knocked on the chair back with his right hand, and a smile that seemed both self-deprecating and sarcastic slowly appeared on his face.
"Really..."
"That's a cruel threat..."
Mu Liuling nodded heavily, his face showing more and more anger: "Young Master! This person obviously has ulterior motives. In view of your previous feat, the Divine Marquis families in Kyoto that have the background to compete with us for the Imperial Garden have been severely damaged. It will take a year or two for them to recover! Therefore, we can say that we have a great advantage in the competition for the Imperial Garden. But if we listen to this person... after a year, not only will the situation be brought back to equilibrium, but the hostile Divine Marquis families will be more likely to unite and kick our Chu family out of the battle group first."
"By then... all our previous efforts will be wasted!"
Chu Zhongtie nodded with a grim face, and the elders and others present also nodded heavily.
But despite being angry, everyone's faces were also solemn...
After all, they were the Seven Sons of the Great Zhou. They were independent of their families, and it was certainly impossible for them to confront a Divine Marquis family head-on. But if they were determined to fight a family, they would definitely be quite formidable opponents... After all, a genius who was extremely talented and had already grown up would be recruited by any big family if possible, and if not, they would try their best to avoid making an enemy.
"Let me guess... Have the other Divine Marquis families also received similar letters? What were their reactions? Tell me the details."
Chu Tianxiao knocked on the chair back faster and faster.
"besides… "
