C154

Three days later.

Chu Mubai was wearing a windbreaker as he leaned quietly on the wooden bed, his complexion looking slightly better.

Chu Xier brought Chu Mubai some porridge and medicinal soup every day as usual, but she maintained a straight face and refused to say a single word more. It seemed that she was still 'resentful' about the previous incident.

With a straight face, Chu Xier used spoons of soup to give Chu Mubai medicine. Chu Mubai continued to look at Chu Xier with a smile, until her face turned slightly hot and her neck started to turn red.

"Pa!"

Chu Xier smashed the spoon into the bowl, fiercely glared at Chu Mubai, and snorted coldly: "If you continue, drink by yourself!"

Chu Xier blushed red, she did not know what happened to brother recently, since he woke up, his entire person seemed to have changed. In the past, when he saw girls, he would blush, but now, she actually learnt to take advantage of me?

"Don't, don't!"

Chu Mubai immediately begged for mercy.

Seeing Chu Xier's expression filled with shame and anger, Chu Mubai secretly laughed, and did not continue to tease her. Her expression became slightly solemn, and he changed the topic: "Arxi, have you heard of any jade pendants in the clan?"

"Jade pendant?"

Chu Xier's face was full of suspicions, he did not know why Chu Mubai suddenly mentioned this, but Chu Xier pondered deeply before slowly shaking his head: "There is a jade pendant, but the majority of it is brought by the people of the border, not worth much, and my aunt and the rest have never heard of anyone possessing anything like a jade pendant."

"Oh? "This way …"

Chu Mubai frowned.

The mystery of his life, the jade pendant … Chu Mubai was quite curious. Under those circumstances, Bu Quetian would definitely not create something from nothing. What he said must have some basis, but what exactly was it?

Chu Mubai thought hard, but could not think of anything special about the jade pendant.

Just as Chu Mubai was hesitating, a light suddenly flashed through his mind.

That's right!

Chu Mubai's eyes lit up, the old Clan Chief!

Chu Mubai had lived in the Chu Family since he was young, but he was not a member of the Chu Family, and he did not have any blood ties with anyone here. Chu Mubai was found by the old patriarch on a snowy day seventeen years ago.

If there was any jade pendant, it could very likely be with the old chief!

The more Chu Mubai thought about it, the more likely it was.

If Bu Quetian had a reason, it was probably because the Patriarch passed away too suddenly in his previous life, the jade pendant would probably be buried in the dust of history before he could even tell Bu Quetian what happened.

As his thoughts reached this point, Chu Mubai's breathing became hurried. Chu Mubai said, "Ah Xi, help me go see the Patriarch!"

"Ah?" "Big bro, your body …"

"I'm fine."

The mystery of his birth had always been a thorn in the bottom of Chu Mubai's heart. Before it was removed, Chu Mubai felt as if his bones were stuck in his throat, and he sat uneasily. Today, this riddle was extremely close to Chu Mubai, and Chu Mubai could not wait for even a moment.

Seeing Chu Mubai's resolute face, Chu Xier did not dare to persuade him anymore.

Chu Mubai's face turned pale white, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. Without a trace of blood, his weak and frail body looked like it could not withstand the wind. Chu Xier supported him.

Chu Mubai felt a heart-wrenching pain spread throughout his entire body.

Chu Mubai staggered and almost fell to the ground, but luckily, Chu Xier was quick to catch him, causing Chu Mubai's face to immediately turn pale. He could not help but laugh bitterly, this body of his was even weaker than he had imagined.

"Brother, are you alright?"

Chu Xier's face was filled with worry.

Chu Mubai waved his hands, signalling that Chu Xier was fine, and allowed Chu Xier to support him properly, he walked forward unsteadily.

Chu Xier was Chu Mubai's younger sister. Even though the two of them weren't blood related, they had very deep feelings for each other. As a person, Chu Mubai being able to see Chu Xier again made them a little happy, but it was just teasing him a little, and it was unlikely that she would truly take advantage of his younger sister.

Pushing open the old wooden door, he found a dirty and messy corridor.

Chu Mubai was originally raised up by the old Patriarch, and was born into a family with the same status as the direct descendant of a noble family. However, Chu Mubai's natural meridians were not clear, and he was unable to cultivate the martial way.

One year ago, Chu Mubai was still unable to reach the standard of "First Stage of Body Refinement Realm" in terms of etiquette. Even with the protection of the Old Clan Chief, he was still expelled from the core of the clan.

When any member of the Chu Clan reaches the age of sixteen, they must hold an adult ceremony, in the adult ceremony, they will measure the person's cultivation, and if they can't reach the lowest standard of 'First Stage of Tempering the Skin', they will be expelled from the core and sent to the outer circle to handle the clan's daily affairs.

Or those with other talents could participate in the research on 'dark technology'.

However, there were always exceptions. Once a member of the border tribe reached the peak of the first level of tempering the skin before the age of eighteen, or at any given time, he could defeat a core member of the second level of Blood Solidification Realm and return to the core position.

Unfortunately, Chu Mubai was born with an inborn blocked meridian, and was destined to only be able to stay on the periphery for his entire life.

Chu Mubai was currently residing in the 'Tailleback Tower' of the Chu Clan. The lowest areas of the entire clan were not any different from the slums of the 'civilians'.

Other than Chu Xier and the Old Patriarch, there were very few core family members who came here.

Furthermore, under the deliberate exclusion of 'some people', the place where Chu Mubai lived, was even more so the room at the top of the 'Tailtail Restaurant', a place where ordinary people piled up their groceries!

But Chu Mubai had long since gotten used to it.

As Chu Xier supported Chu Mubai out of the dilapidated 'trellis', on the way, they met some of Chu Mubai's clansmen. They all took a detour and looked at Chu Mubai with a look of despise, discrimination, and jealousy.

"Look, isn't that the trash that the clan leader is raising?"

"That's right. It's the 'Inborn Broken Veins' that only appear once every hundred years. It's simply hilarious. My Chu Clan's face has been completely thrown away by him."

"That's right. If he wasn't protected by the chief, just him alone would be worthy of wasting food in the Chu family."

"…"

A few rumors and slanders unavoidably flowed into Chu Xier's ears. Even though she had already heard countless of them, Chu Xier's petite body still trembled uncontrollably.

"Big bro, look at them …"

Chu Mubai shook his head and smiled.

In his previous life, Chu Mubai would have been infuriated, his face would have flushed red, he would have been furious, he would have turned around and left, his body would have trembled slightly, and he would have pretended not to see anything, but as a person, Chu Mubai had long seen through all of this.

Fame and merit were like clouds in the sky.

Chu Mubai had an indifferent expression, and didn't even bat an eye as he said: "Arxi, it's just a vile character, there's no meaning to getting angry at them. In this world, only strength is the truth!"

"Yes."

Chu Xier nodded heavily.

They gradually walked towards the core area of the Chu Clan, the people at the edges gradually became fewer and fewer, the broken 'trellis' gradually disappeared, replacing it was a quiet little villa, a grass grass lawn.

The core members who were walking along the path were all, without exception, steady and steady. They had long breaths, bulging temples, flat fingers, and restrained essence energy. It was obvious that they were all quite accomplished.

There were even many people carrying chains that weighed a hundred Jin, walking without a change in expression.

Seeing Chu Xier holding onto Chu Mubai, very few core members mocked and ridiculed him. They only gave him a cold glance and retracted their gaze.

"Hu hu"

On the grass by the side of the road, a well-built man was practicing the 'Work Vault Tiger Fist'. His fists and feet were as fast as the wind, and his clothes were plastered against his robust muscles, emitting thunderous sounds of vibration.

The man's entire body was like a blazing furnace, he was drenched in sweat, and Chu Mubai could even hear the sound of his blood flowing.

Sixth level of the Martial Dao, Second level of the Blood Solidification Realm.

The cultivators of the second level of the Blood Solidification Realm absorbed the spirit energy to temper their body. After their body had achieved the Large Success of the Skin Tempering, they would enter the blood through the skin and use the spirit energy to stimulate the power in their blood vessels.

A cultivator of this level could lift a heavy object weighing three hundred Jin with his bare hands!

The man practiced the martial art, Tiger Subduing Fist. His movements were as if he had escaped a rabbit, his movements were like that of a leopard, his movements were steady like the wind, and his five fingers were like the claws of an eagle!

Chu Mubai took a glance, the cultivation of this man was around the large success stage of the second level of Blood Solidification Realm, and even within the Chu Clan, he could be considered as a strong force. It was a pity, his "Work Subduing Tiger Fist" looked like it was filled with vigor, but Chu Mubai could see through at least seven flaws in it.

Seeing Chu Mubai approaching, the man stopped his fist arts and opened his mouth slightly. A stream of white Qi shot out from his mouth like an arrow.

Transforming qi into force!

The man's body shook and the sweat on his clothes was instantly evaporated. The scorching heat wave that he emitted was also gradually retracted back into his body. He smiled gently and said, "Ah Shu, you've recovered well. You can walk now."

Chu Mubai smiled and said: "No need for that, Uncle Heng's skill has improved again!"

Chu Heng laughed, "You little rascal, you really love to coax people. You are born with a blocked meridian, what can you see from it? "Eh, by the way, where are you going if you aren't resting?"

"Clan leader's manor, I have something to talk to grandpa about."

"Oh, go ahead. You have to pay attention to your body. That bastard Shaoqi really doesn't know what's important. If not …"

Chu Heng muttered a few sentences to himself. Then, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly darkened, as he stopped talking.

Chu Mubai laughed, and did not make any further remarks, and said: "Then goodbye Uncle Heng, I will be leaving first."

"Yes."

It was unknown how many times Chu Mubai had walked on the road leading to the Clan Chief's Mansion in his previous life, but he would definitely not recognize the wrong path with his eyes closed. Now that he had come, he was still extremely familiar with it.

Walking here once again, even Chu Mubai, who was the second son, couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Just as he walked to the entrance of the clan head's residence, a figure coincidentally walked out from within.

When the two of them met face to face, both of them were startled. Seeing the person from the other side, Chu Mubai's expression immediately turned cold.

The other party looked at Chu Mubai and coldly snorted. His gaze landed on Chu Xier who was at the side, and his eyes ignited with jealousy, as he suddenly stretched out his hand to block Chu Mubai. He coldly snorted: "Chu Mubai, you're only a Fringe, what are you doing here?!"
