1222 The Battle Wolves Are in Trouble Again
Chu Yunfan’s god-like performance was deeply imprinted in everyone’s minds. He was an invincible existence, like a reincarnated god of war.
After the banquet, he was summoned to the backyard by Chu Yaowei and the old madam.
In the living room of the backyard, Chu Yaowei and the old madam sat on the main seat, while Chu Yunfan, as a junior, sat below.
“Yunfan, I heard from Yaowei that you don’t plan to become the heir,” the old madam said directly.
The old madam was very shrewd. Although she doted on Chu Yunfan before, she had never said that she wanted Chu Yunfan to become the heir. She doted on him only because she felt guilty for her youngest son who had passed away, but it did not mean that she did not know the big picture.
However, the situation was completely different now. From Chu Yunfan’s performance, it could be said that he was unexpectedly outstanding.
Chu Yunfan was only in his twenties. There was no doubt that his future was limitless.
Without mentioning anything else, just this strength alone was enough for him to become the heir of the marquis. If Chu Yunfan was the heir, she could even smile in the afterlife because the Chu clan would definitely flourish.
However, when she mentioned this idea to her son, Chu Yaowei, she heard him say that Chu Yaowei had already mentioned it to Chu Yunfan. Who knew that Chu Yunfan was not interested at all?
The power that others fought for was like a worn-out shoe to Chu Yunfan.
That was why she asked Chu Yunfan directly.
“Yes, Matriarch. My ambition isn’t here. It’s useless even if I force myself to stay.” Chu Yunfan shook his head. “But I think Chu Hongcai is a good candidate. He’s young and has potential. He’ll definitely become a qualified heir in the future.”
Chu Yaowei and the old madam both revealed disappointed looks. Of course, they couldn’t say that Chu Hongcai wasn’t outstanding enough. He was in the Divine Abilities Stage before the age of 20. Such talent was the best even among the heirs of the top noble families in the capital.
However, it wasn’t a matter of not knowing what was good, it was just a matter of comparing the goods. If there was no comparison, Chu Hongcai was of course an extremely outstanding candidate. But compared to Chu Yunfan, he was far inferior.
It was because of this that they favored Chu Yunfan. However, they couldn’t force him to accept the matter of inheriting the family business.
“So, as long as the candidate is Chu Hongcai, you will support him?” Chu Yaowei thought of Chu Yunfan’s words and quickly asked.
Chu Yunfan nodded. He understood Chu Yaowei’s words. He wanted Chu Yunfan to support the household. Even if he wasn’t the heir, with the talent and strength that Chu Yunfan had shown, his future achievements were limitless.
With such a super big shot supporting them, the household could at least be safe for hundreds of years.
“As long as Hongcai becomes the heir in the future, I will support the household. After all, I’m also a member of the Chu clan. There’s no reason for me not to help my own people,” Chu Yunfan said.
“All right then!” Chu Yaowei said.
Although this wasn’t the best outcome, it wasn’t the worst either. As long as Chu Yunfan still supported the household, it would be of great benefit to them.
“I will immediately report this to the Imperial Court and elect Hongcai as the heir of the household.”
Seeing that Chu Yunfan was so understanding, Chu Yaowei immediately returned the favor.
Although this matter still needed the approval of the Great Wei Kingdom’s Imperial Court, generally speaking, as long as it was reported, it would be approved.
“I think Hongcai is a good kid. He’s talented and strong. Most importantly, he has a good heart. He’s lucky to have met you,” Chu Yaowei said with a smile.
He had been observing these candidates. Other than the mysterious Chu Yunfan, he was naturally familiar with the information of the others.
Moreover, he had no other choice now. Chu Xiujie had been eliminated, Chu Haoyu had given up, and Chu Yunfan was unwilling to participate. So, besides Chu Hongcai, he had no other choice.
Moreover, what he valued the most was the good relationship between Chu Hongcai and Chu Yunfan.
“Yes,” Chu Yunfan nodded and agreed with Chu Yaowei’s opinion. “But I’ve touched Chang Shenghong today. I hope I didn’t make things difficult for you, Matriarch.”
The old madam shook her head and said, “What’s so difficult about it? Duke Ning is my nephew. If he dares to grin at me, I’ll chop him down. Besides, Chang Shenghong is too bold. He dares to meddle in other people’s affairs. You beating him up is for his own good. Otherwise, something will happen sooner or later.”
The old madam felt sorry for Chang Shenghong, but she knew that if he had not been beaten up today, there would be more trouble in the future.
Chu Yunfan had only given him a small punishment for his sake. If it were any other ruthless person, he would have killed him long ago.
As an elder of the Chang clan, she naturally had the obligation to teach these juniors, even if it was in this way.
“That’s right. I’ll write a letter to Duke Ning. It’s nothing. It’s just some minor wounds. They’re all Divines so they’ll be back to life in a few days.”
Chu Yaowei didn’t take this matter to heart. It wasn’t the first time that the scions had fought each other. When they were young, they weren’t any better. It was ridiculous to fight one after another. As long as they didn’t kill anyone, it wasn’t a big deal.
“Moreover, even if Duke Ning and the others are unwilling to let the matter rest, will you be afraid?” Chu Yaowei looked at Chu Yunfan with a faint smile as if he had seen through Chu Yunfan.
Chu Yunfan smiled and didn’t reply. Of course, he wasn’t afraid. When he recovered his strength, the entire Great Wei Kingdom would be at his mercy. There was nothing to be afraid of.
“All right, both of you can leave. I’m tired,” the old madam said, ordering them to leave.
Chu Yunfan left the residence and returned to Shanhe Alchemy Pavilion, where he found a member of the Battle Wolves in uniform who had been waiting for him for a long time.
“Master Chu, I’ve been waiting for you!” the Battle Wolf member said as he quickly stepped forward.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Yunfan looked at the member with a curious expression.
“Our gang leader has sent you an invitation,” the member quickly said.
“What is it about?” Chu Yunfan asked.
The member revealed a troubled expression and said, “I don’t know. How would small fries like us know about such things? Our leader has invited you to come to the base immediately after you return. He has something important to discuss with you.”
