"Whisper"
Chu Feng leaped down from the fighting platform without enjoying the applause and cheers. Instead, he walked straight out of the training field.
Looking at Chu Feng's retreating back, people were somewhat at a loss. Only Chu Yuanba murmured with a smile, "It seems this little guy has a lot of resentment."
After leaving the training field, Chu Feng arrived at Chu Guyu's room. Chu Hongfei's punch was very vicious, knocking Chu Guyu hard and leaving him unconscious for a full two hours before gradually regaining consciousness.
"Brother, what happened outside? Why is it so noisy?" Chu Guyu didn't know what had happened in the training field.
"There's nothing." Chu Feng smiled calmly.
"Ah, maybe Uncle Siu became the head of the family. It's all my fault. If I could have won, Father could... " Chu Guyu was full of self-reproach.
"Guyu, are you feeling better?"
But at this moment, Chu Yuanba walked in, and behind him, there were Chu Yuan, Chu Renyi, Chu Nanshan and other people of higher status in the Chu family.
"Grandpa, I'm fine." Seeing Chu Yuanba, Chu Guyu hurriedly sat up and didn't dare to be disrespectful to this grandpa.
"It's fine." Chu Yuanba chuckled lightly, a rare expression of kindness appearing on his face. Then he gave a signal to Chu Nanshan behind him.
Seeing this, Chu Nanshan looked a bit embarrassed and said, "Guyu, it's all because of Hongfei's lack of control in his attack. But you should keep that in mind because the injuries he's suffering now are more serious than yours."
"What? Chu Hongfei was also injured?" Chu Guyu was somewhat stunned.
"Huh.." Chu Nanshan smiled wryly and didn't say anything. Instead, he looked meaningfully at Chu Feng.
Seeing this, Chu Nanshan looked a bit awkward and said, "Guyu, it's all because of Hongfei's lack of control in his attack. But you should keep that in mind because the injuries he's suffering now are more serious than yours."
"Wait, Chu Hongfei was also injured?" Chu Guyu was even more stunned.
"Ah.." Chu Nanshan sighed wryly and didn't say anything. Instead, he looked meaningfully at Chu Feng.
Following Chu Nanshan's gaze, Chu Guyu was initially stunned, then thought of something, and his face immediately became even more surprised. And at this moment, Chu Yuanba also spoke.
"Chu'er, today it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, the reputation of my Chu family would really be trampled by the Xu family." Chu Yuanba said as he took out ten medicinal herbs from his pocket and handed them to Chu Feng.
"... " Seeing this, everyone was momentarily stunned. You see, the first place in the clan competition only received two medicinal herbs as a reward, but now Chu Yuanba actually took out ten, which was a considerable amount.
"Grandpa, what do you mean?" Chu Feng feigned confusion.
"This is what you deserve. Accept it. I'll feel more comfortable if you do," Chu Yuanba said with a face full of apology.
Although he didn't offend Chu Feng, when facing the situation where Chu Feng was being bullied by the Chu family, he never interfered. The reason was simple: he didn't like Chu Feng in his heart.
But today, if it weren't for Chu Feng's intervention, the Chu family would have become the laughingstock of everyone. And because of Chu Feng's intervention, the Chu family's reputation was greatly enhanced.
Even just now, several groups of forces had already shown interest in the Chu family, and Chu Yuanba knew that this was all thanks to Chu Feng. And because of this, Chu Yuanba felt even more remorseful towards Chu Feng.
"Chu'er." Seeing that Chu Feng was somewhat hesitant, Chu Yuan said urgently.
"Then thank you, grandpa." Chu Feng took the medicinal herbs but had no smile on his face.
Chu Yuanba didn't mind Chu Feng's action. Instead, he was very happy. Turning to Chu Yuan, he said, "From now on, Chu'er's cultivation subsidy will be five medicinal herbs per year."
When Chu Yuanba said this, even Chu Yuan himself was deeply surprised. Such treatment had never been given before. Chu Yuanba was clearly going to focus on cultivating Chu Feng.
Although the faces of Chu Nan and others were very bad now, they dared not say anything because in the Chu family, Chu Yuanba was the god, even if the new head of the family was different, Chu Yuanba was still the real leader of the Chu family.
"Talk among the three of you, remember to take good care of Guyu's injuries. Although you are now the head of the family, family affection cannot be ignored," Chu Yuanba instructed Chu Yuan.
"Understood, father." Chu Yuan replied.
Chu Yuanbao then looked at Chu Feng, staring at his cold expression. Chu Yuanbao awkwardly smiled and led the group to leave.
"Father, look at how Chu Feng behaves. You really indulge him..." As soon as they stepped out of the courtyard, Chu Nanshan began to criticize Chu Feng.
"Shut up!" However, the response he got was a furious shout from Chu Yuanbao. With a cold face, he pointed at everyone and said with extreme seriousness:
"Those of you, listen carefully. From now on, I don't want to hear anyone saying anything bad about Feng'er."
"If I hear it again, no matter who it is, they will all be punished according to the family law."
Upon hearing this, the faces of Chu Nanshan and others turned pale. They dared not say another word because they knew that in the Chu family in the future, they probably couldn't offend Chu Feng anymore.
"Father, have you become the head of the family?" In the room, Chu Feng was filled with joy.
"Yes, being able to take over the position of the head of the family is thanks to you, my precious son." Chu Yuan was also smiling: "I never expected you to be so well-hidden!"
"Ha ha." Facing his father's praise, Chu Feng also smiled happily. He had worked so hard precisely to become Chu Yuan's pride, and today, his wish seemed to have come true.
"Father, brother, what's going on here?" Finally, the bewildered Chu Guoyu spoke up.
Seeing this, Chu Yuan smiled first, and then he detailed the events in the training ground to Chu Guoyu in detail, including how after Chu Feng left, the Xu family fled in a hurry, Chu Yuanbao announced publicly that Chu Yuan would inherit the position of the head of the family, and various forces showed goodwill towards the Chu family...
After learning all this, Chu Guoyu's mouth opened wide, he was too astonished to speak. His gaze on Chu Feng became extremely complex. He had never thought that his younger brother would be so outstanding.
But in any case, as Chu Feng's elder brother, he truly felt happy for Chu Feng because he knew that this younger brother no longer needed his protection.
The clan meeting ended, Chu Feng became the biggest topic of discussion in the area of hundreds of miles. Many people knew that Chu Family had produced a young martial arts prodigy at the age of fifteen.
Some even exaggerated Chu Feng to the point of saying that with one foot, he crushed the competition platform, and with one breath, he created a strong wind, making it a myth. This made some people start to doubt whether Chu Feng was even human, but in any case, Chu Feng was undoubtedly the most eye-catching focus in this powerful family.
Especially within the Chu Family, under the pressure of Chu Yuanbao, no one dared to say anything bad about Chu Feng or be disrespectful to him in front of him. They had to have a new understanding and attitude towards Chu Feng.
On this day, Chu Feng and his companions returned to the Blue Dragon Sect. Before leaving, he slipped a note into Chu Guoyu's hand, instructing him to open it only after he had left.
"There's something under your pillow..."
This was the content of the note. Looking at Chu Feng and his companions riding away on their fast horses, Chu Guoyu shook his head helplessly, not knowing what his younger brother was trying to hide from him.
After returning to the room, he still felt curious and lifted the pillow. But this action didn't matter. Chu Guoyu's calm expression suddenly became turbulent, because under the pillow there were actually ten rare immortal herbs.
This number was not significant for Chu Feng, who had refined two spirit pearls and dozens of immortal herbs, but it was definitely a large number for Chu Guoyu.
"Huh..." After the shock, Chu Guoyu suddenly smiled. Looking in the direction of the Blue Dragon Sect, he whispered, "It seems that as the eldest brother, I will really have to rely on this younger brother in the future."
