C12

Some of the Chu Family members were very excited when they saw Chu Xingyu return.

The scene on that day was really too tragic. They all thought that Chu Xingyu was going to die in Linyi Mountain.

However, there were also those in the Chu Clan who didn't welcome Chu Xingyu.

"How could you possibly come back?"

Chu Shan's eyes turned cold. He was sure that Chu Xingyu had died in the mountains, but now that Chu Xingyu had appeared, his heart was in a mess.

Chu Xingyu didn't bother with Chu Shan and walked straight in front of the Second Elder.

He wanted to see the Second Elder's true appearance.

"Second Elder, Chu Shan did not reveal the truth about a month ago."

"Right now, let me tell you in detail about this little one's treacherous actions."

"..."

Chu Xingyu started to talk about Chu Shan, Liu Hai, and the Lin Clan's secret plot, leading to the Lin Clan seizing the marriage in advance.

When the three Great Elders heard Chu Xingyu's words, their expressions changed again and again.

"Chu Shan betrayed all his promises and did not stop the Lin Clan from seizing the marriage."

"And my Martial Spirit bone was taken away by him and grafted onto Chu Cheng."

"Such a treacherous and despicable person, is he just going to let it go like this?"

After Chu Xingyu finished speaking, she asked again and again.

"Second Elder, you can't do this, punish Chu Shan."

"Right, we can't just let it go like this."

The two elders had heard the rumors from Chu Shan, and now that they knew the truth, they also supported Chu Xingyu.

The crowd was waiting for Second Elder's punishment, but the Second Elder's silence came.

His thoughts were naturally different from those of the two elders.

Chu Shan was indeed unforgivable, logically speaking, Chu Shan should be punished.

However, his son, Chu Cheng, was now a rising star.

After three days, he would be able to enter the academy and he would receive an invitation letter from the Imperial City.

As for Chu Xingyu, she was different from before. Right now, she was nothing more than trash.

It didn't seem worth it to offend someone you had to curry favor with for the sake of a piece of trash.

Chu Cheng's value was much higher than Chu Xingyu's.

He would not let his worth suffer for the sake of so-called justice.

So now, no matter what, he had to protect Chu Cheng.

"Second Elder, say something."

Chu Xingyu's aggressiveness caused a hint of displeasure to flash past the Second Elder's eyes.

A good-for-nothing actually dared to contradict him in front of his own face.

"Alright, since you question my punishment, then let me ask you, is Chu Li'er dead?"

"No!"

"Have you recovered your cultivation?"

"I need to recover a bit."

"Since Li'er is not dead and your cultivation has recovered and you have returned alive from Mount Lin, then let's forget about this matter!"

Everyone was stunned. They just said that they would let it go, and then they thought of something.

"Then let's just forget about it!"

"Hahahaha!"

Chu Xingyu read out the Great Elder's words and laughed.

So it turned out that the Second Elder wasn't truly concerned about him. What he was concerned about was only his own interests.

His previous self was related to his own interests, so he protected him from all angles.

The second elder's attitude immediately changed as soon as the two of them separated.

He didn't care about his own life or death at all.

"I am the young master of the Chu family, and I am the candidate to be the future head of the Chu family. I am also the person who has been selected without a doubt in the academy."

"Chu Shan is sinister and despicable. He threatened to stop the Lin Family from seizing the marriage and deceive my Martial Spirit Bone."

"Under his deceit, it caused me to lose all my cultivation and I was sent to the prison by Liu Ziyun."

"In the end, I was able to escape and return to the Lin Family through a narrow escape."

"What a great Second Elder. Such a big grudge, you've already forgotten about it with just a single word. You truly are worthy to be my Second Elder."

Chu Xingyu's words were extremely ear-piercing, causing the Second Elder's face to turn red.

In order to curry favor with Chu Cheng, he also felt that his favouritism towards Chu Shan was too excessive.

He still had to manage the Chu Clan in the future. If he went too far, it would be hard for him to convince the masses in the future.

"Xingyu, I can't do anything about it. The other families are eyeing me like a tiger and the Chu family is already very weak. I don't want to damage the Chu family's strength anymore."

Chu Fu spoke with an awe-inspiring righteousness.

He intentionally stood from the perspective of considering the Chu family's situation. What he did not know was that his methods allowed the Chu family to clearly see his face.

Looking at the silent Chu Xingyu, the Second Elder continued speaking.

"That's how it is. Your Martial Spirit bones have been lost. You won't be able to take them back. I'll just have to make it up to you."

"Butler, bring Chu Xingyu to the storage room. Do not stop whatever he wants."

Everyone's eyes dimmed. Chu Xingyu's Martial Spirit bone had been dug out and could never be reattached. Compensation was the only way.

The Second Elder thought that this youth would compromise, but Chu Xingyu was no longer that weak youth.

The youth was still standing on the spot, his eyes cold.

"I don't want compensation!"

With the Martial Spirit Bone dug up, a person's path of martial arts would be cut off. In this world where martial artists were respected, the compensation from the Second Elder was simply an insult to oneself.

"If you don't want compensation, what else do you want?"

The Second Elder frowned.

Previously, he had given Chu Xingyu some face because he was the son of the clan leader.

Now that he was a cripple, he didn't dare speak anymore.

"I want the heads of Chu Shan and Chu Cheng to bury my Martial Spirit with my bones!"

Chu Xingyu's words caused a trace of anger to flash across the Second Elder's face.

"Impudent!" Chu Xingyu, you're getting bolder and bolder. "

"I admit, Chu Shan was in the wrong in this. At worst, I can just get him to apologize to you."

"Why are you so aggressive?"

He stood up abruptly and pointed at Chu Xingyu, who was standing below the stage, as he drank.

"I'm aggressive?"

Chu Xingyu sneered.

"His Martial Spirit Bone was dug out and he apologized?"

"Second Elder, how about I dig out your Martial Spirit bone and apologize."

Chu Xingyu narrowed her eyes and looked at the Second Elder.

"You …"

The Second Elder was stunned.

"What is it? "You don't dare?"

Breaking the path of cultivation was just a word of apology. The Second Elder was oppressing him because he saw him as a trash.

Sure enough, trash didn't have the right to speak, Chu Xingyu's eyes were ice-cold.

"Second Elder, let me do it."

Right at the moment when the second elder's face was turning green and white, Prime Minister Chu walked out.

"You trash, you want my head with your words."

"I want to ask you, do you have the ability to do so?"

"Come! Trash, let me let you experience the anger of a strong practitioner. "

A hint of contempt could be seen in Chu Cheng's eyes as he crooked his finger at Chu Xingyu.

"Second Elder, let me have a fight with Chu Xingyu and let this kind of trash be convinced from the bottom of his heart."

"Chu Cheng, focus on the selection in three days. There's no need to compete with him!"

The Second Elder was worried that Chu Cheng might be injured, which would affect the Academy's selection battle three days later.

"Thank you for your concern, Second Elder. I can handle him now."

Chu Cheng was very proud. Chu Xingyu from a month ago was only at the sixth level of the Body Tempering stage.

He had suffered from a loss in his cultivation. Not to mention breaking through, it would be incomparably difficult to recover his strength to its peak during this one month.

He was absolutely sure that Chu Xingyu's cultivation was under the 5th level of the Body Tempering stage.

Right now, he could fight ten against him.

"Fine, then let's fight to the death!"

Seeing the confident look in Chu Cheng's eyes, the Second Elder was relieved.

"Chu Xingyu, since you want the head of Chu Cheng, don't say that I didn't give you a chance."

"Then let's cut the crap and start quickly!"

Chu Xingyu's eyes flashed with killing intent.
