" Isn't this young man Chu Bao, the son of Chu Huan, the chief steward of the Chu family? A few days ago, his disrespectful father was beaten half to death because he flirted with Zhu Lan. Now, his son is bullying my servant?”
Chu Nan pushed aside the crowd and looked ahead. He saw Chu Bao holding a book with many bloodstains on it. He then looked at the blood flowing out of Chu Qing's nostrils and instantly understood everything.
Chu Bao and Chu Qing were confronting each other. Apparently, they were arguing over the origin art. Chu Bao even called his servants over and beat up Chu Qing, who had a low cultivation level.
Chu Nan looked at them coldly, pushed through the crowd, and walked in. Chu Nan had heard of this Chu Bao. This person was not talented, but he was a man who indulged in all kinds of activities. As his father Chu Huan became the head steward of the Chu Clan, he was favored by the Great Elder Chu Tianqi. Chu Bao was even more tyrannical. It was said that he was a tyrant in Ping Yang Town and had raped many women. Many people were angry but did not dare to speak up.
Head Butler Chu Huan was the trusted aide of the Head Elder. Due to the Head Elder's overbearing and domineering position in the clan, most of the clansmen and servants had defected to the Head Elder. Thus, they stood on the side of Chu Huan's son, Chu Bao. Only a few people spoke up for Chu Qing.
At the same time, he saw another familiar face in the crowd.
Chu Tianyu, the third elder of the clan!
To Chu Nan's surprise, Chu Tianyu was currently wearing a special token for the manager of the library. This token could only be worn by the clan members who managed the library, and it was made by the first clan head of the Chu clan who had hired a specialized artifact craftsman. Since Chu Tianyu was wearing the token now, it was obvious that the clan elder Chu Wenyin had been replaced by Chu Tianyu.
"It must be the First Elder's doing. He wants to control the Chu Clan and Ping Yang Town!”Chu Nan cursed in his heart.
After chatting with the servant girls for the past two days, he learned that the Chu Clan's businesses in Ping Yang Town were all important jobs that were previously assigned by his father. Now, most of them had been replaced by his trusted aides by the Great Elder. There were spies of the Great Elder everywhere. Furthermore, Chu Nan's future was bleak due to the failure of his destiny revelation. His father was busy searching for the elixir to cure him and had no time to attend to the important matters of the clan. This gave the first elder an opportunity to make a move on the clan leader's line. In this regard, Chu Tianyang's influence in the clan was getting smaller and smaller. He was helpless about this. After all, such a big clan wasn't something that Chu Tianyang alone could call the shots.
Other than Chu Tianyang, there were three other elders in the Chu Family. First Elder Chu Tianqi, Third Elder Chu Tianyu, Fourth Elder Chu Tiankuo, and Clan Leader Chu Tianyang were the second. If there were some big decisions in the family, the patriarch alone could not make the decision. He had to get the approval of the family elders before it could be passed.
Third Elder Chu Tianyu and Great Elder Chu Tianqi were born from the same mother and were very close. Chu Tianyu was also a staunch supporter of Chu Tianqi's fight for the position of clan leader. Chu Tiankuo and the clan leader Chu Tianyang were blood brothers, belonging to the clan leader's bloodline. However, Chu Tiankuo's cultivation talent was too poor, and his realm was only at the lowest third rank Spirit Master, so his influence was the least among the elders.
Even though Chu Bao's talent was average and he had only reached the seventh stage of Soul Warrior in his thirties, he was still considered an expert in a small clan like the Chu clan. Moreover, his father, Chu Huan, was like the sun in the sky in front of the Great Elder. The Great Elder's trust in him had further nurtured Chu Bao's fearless character. He ran amok in Ping Yang Town and did not even put Clan Leader Chu Tianyang in his eyes.
What made Chu Nan even angrier was that the third elder, Chu Tianyu, who was in charge of the library, was actually standing by the side and turning a deaf ear.
In the clan's library, there were clan rules left behind by the ancestors that forbade private fights. Those who violated the clan rules would be punished by the clan rules. The previous clan elder, Chu Wenyin, had been in charge of the library for decades. He was conscientious and conscientious, strictly implementing the clan rules. Everything in the library was peaceful and there had never been a fight or a beating. But now, Chu Tianyu, who was in charge of the library, did not care and allowed Chu Bao to do whatever he wanted. It was obvious that he was covering up for Chu Bao's actions and was indifferent to Chu Qing's beating.
Even though Chu Qing was severely injured, he was still stubborn and did not give in. He argued with Chu Bao head-on and did not show any signs of weakness.
"I was the one who borrowed this cultivation technique first. Why should I let you take it?”Chu Qing said angrily.
"Why? If you can defeat me, I'll give you this cultivation technique. You little brat, if you dare to come over and see me, I'll break your dog legs!”Chu Bao scolded fiercely.
The two of them cursed at each other. The men on Chu Bao's side continued to punch and kick Chu Qing, causing Chu Qing's face to be bruised again.
Chu Nan walked over, and after some questioning, he found out that Chu Qing had chosen a cultivation technique from the library and was waiting for Chu Nan's guidance on the first floor according to Chu Nan's instructions. At this moment, Chu Bao, who had also come to the library to search for cultivation techniques, entered and wanted to borrow this cultivation technique. However, there were rules in the library that stated that the cultivation technique and the essence method that had been borrowed could not be lent to others. If Chu Bao wanted to read the cultivation technique again, he had to wait until Chu Qing had finished reading it and returned it. Therefore, he, who was impatient, naturally would not wait. Thus, he led a group of clansmen and servants to snatch the book from Chu Qing's hands and severely injured him. At this moment, there were still a few people who were indignant about Chu Qing.
Chu Qing was only a second level Soul Conduit cultivator, while Chu Bao was already a seventh level Soul Warrior. How could Chu Bao be his opponent?
Chu Tianyu belonged to the Great Elder's faction. If he was allowed to take full control of the library, wouldn't it be difficult for the clan members of the Patriarch's faction to go to the library to read the cultivation techniques?
The Head Butler Chu Huan was currently one of the Great Elder's greatest lackeys. In Chu Nan's impression, this person was shrewd, scheming, and good at disguising himself. Usually, he was the one who came up with the Great Elder's plans. Ever since he attempted to humiliate Zhu Lan, Chu Nan hated him to the bone.
Now, with the Great Elder's unceasing dominance, all the positions in the family business were changed. Now, not only was Chu Dazhuang replacing Chu Tianhu, even the library was being managed by Chu Tianyu.
"If this continues, won't father's power be taken away? When his father returned, would he still have a place as the clan leader? Where was his father's prestige as the clan leader?”
The Great Elder was domineering, and the Great Butler was the Great Elder's confidant. That was why the son of the Great Butler, Chu Huan, Chu Bao, dared to be so arrogant and domineering. Now, the Head Butler dared to insult the young clan leader's personal servant in broad daylight, and even the Head Butler's son, Chu Bao, dared to beat up Chu Nan's servant. It was obvious that the father and son did not place Chu Nan, the young clan leader, in their eyes.
"Alright, the Great Elder's faction has suppressed Father for many years. Today, I can finally take back some interest. Teaching you a lesson is equivalent to slapping the Great Elder's face!”
He looked at the cultivation technique in Chu Bao's hands. It was a metal attribute cultivation technique called the Golden Steel Body Forging Secrets. Chu Nan thought for a moment and felt that this cultivation technique was suitable for Chu Qing. Chu Qing's spirit soul was a sword and belonged to the metal attribute. The attributes were just right, and they could complement each other and achieve twice the result with half the effort during cultivation. Therefore, he was determined to help Chu Qing snatch this cultivation technique back and teach Chu Bao a lesson at the same time.
On the stage, Chu Bao was still arrogantly cursing at Chu Qing. His rogue nature was completely exposed.
"You said that this cultivation technique is yours. Let me tell you, it belongs to whoever is stronger. The strong get it. If you have the ability, come and snatch it? If you're strong enough, this cultivation technique will be yours.”Chu Bao shouted arrogantly at Chu Qing.
"Who said that the strong obtained it? Then if I snatch it from you, does that mean that this cultivation technique will also belong to me?”Chu Nan walked out from the crowd to Chu Bao.
At this moment, everyone's gaze shifted to Chu Nan.
Chu Bao also found it strange. Now that his father had gained power in front of the Great Elder, he had a smooth journey in the family. Even the Great Elder had handed many important matters to him, yet someone dared to talk back to him.
When he saw that it was Chu Nan, he was stunned and mocked,"Aiyo, I was wondering who it was. So it's the Heaven's Forsaken One that only appears once in a hundred years in Heavenly Fate City. What's the matter, you trash want to snatch the cultivation technique from my hands?”
Then, the clan members of the First Elder's faction standing beside Chu Bao also laughed mockingly at Chu Nan.
Chu Kai remained calm and asked," Chu Bao, I don't want to criticize you. You're already in your thirties. You've only cultivated to the seventh stage of Soul Warrior. What right do you have to brag?" Let me ask you, I reached the ninth level of Soul Conduit realm when I was nine years old. How many levels of Soul Conduit realm could you reach when you were nine years old? Which one of us is useless?"
"You!" Chu Bao flew into a rage out of humiliation and scolded,""You can't open your lifeline now, so you're trash. Now, I can crush you like an ant!”
"Is that so? You can kill me? I heard that the Head Butler Chu Huan, that old hooligan, only had you when he was in his fifties. That's why he spoiled you so much. You're really the same as your father.”Chu Nan mocked.
There was no need to reason with this kind of person, so he went straight to the point and exposed his shortcomings. At the same time, he prepared to fight Chu Bao. He constantly mobilized the Demon God's blood essence in his body, wanting to rely on his powerful body to deal with Chu Bao.
"Don't think that you're the son of the clan leader. Do you believe that I won't kill you today?”Chu Bao cursed.
"So much nonsense! Chu Bao, let me ask you one thing today. Do you dare to fight me?”
"Why wouldn't I dare!" Chu Bao shouted.
"Then do you dare to sign a life and death contract with me?”Chu Nan asked.
"What is it? A Death Pact!"
Everyone present was shocked. Was this young master Chu Nan crazy?
