1216 Chu Xiujie Is Eliminated
“It should have been like this a long time ago!” Chu Hongcai clenched his fist and said excitedly.
“Motherf*cker, who does he think he is? Isn’t he just the junior duke? But even so, what qualifications does he have to partic.i.p.ate in our family’s matters?!”
Although Chu Haoyu didn’t say anything, he had the same expression. At this moment, their interests were aligned. No matter how they fought, if an outsider appeared, it would be another matter.
However, none of them were able to resist, and the marquis himself didn’t seem to be interested in any of this, which made them extremely depressed.
!!
“That dog Chu Xiujie is a traitor, colluding with outsiders to deal with us. I really don’t understand why the marquis listed him as a candidate,” Chu Hongcai said gloomily.
“Don’t worry. After today, no matter what, Chu Xiujie will lose the qualification to compete.” Chu Yunfan smiled faintly.
“Brother Fan, why do you say that?” Chu Hongcai said with some doubt.
“After today,” Chu Yunfan said lightly, “Chu Xiujie will forever lose the possibility of fighting for the position, regardless of whether I take care of him or not. This is because he doesn’t understand the problem.”
Seeing that both of them were a little confused, Chu Yunfan continued, “If I remember correctly, Duke Ning and Marquis Zhongxin do not belong to the same faction.”
The two suddenly realized that they weren’t stupid. It was just that they hadn’t thought of it before. Now that Chu Yunfan reminded them, they suddenly remembered. In fact, although the old madam was the young lady of Duke Ning’s household, the relationship between the two families had actually become more and more distant due to political differences in recent years.
Unless Marquis Zhongxin intended to change his family, he would not let this matter rest so easily. Chang Shenghong had the support of Duke Ning behind him, yet he dared to interfere in such a big matter like the heir selection.
As long as the marquis was not a pushover, he would definitely react to this. And based on their understanding of the marquis, he was definitely not someone who would be willing to be manipulated.
Chu Xiujie colluded with Chang Shenghong to compete for the position. However, this was the thing that eliminated him.
“He’s dead!” Chu Hongcai immediately realized that at this point.
Chu Xiujie definitely won’t have the chance to become the heir. Otherwise, Marquis Zhongxin and Duke Ning are not on the same path, but the heir of the marquis is following the orders of the junior duke? What would others think of Marquis Zhongxin? Would they think that he was two-faced?
Chu Haoyu looked at Chu Yunfan in surprise. These things were worthless, but if they weren’t exposed, no one could see through them.
Obviously, Chu Xiujie did not realize this and thought that he had a helper. Chang Shenghong was also arrogant so perhaps he did not feel that there was anything wrong. His method was too simple and crude.
After this incident, Chu Haoyu was even more certain that Chu Yunfan was indeed extraordinary. He was not as simple as ordinary people thought.
After hearing Chu Yunfan’s words, Chu Haoyu and Chu Hongcai were relieved. No matter what, Chu Xiujie was already out of the game. There was only one mission left today, and that was to retaliate against Chang Shenghong.
The grand banquet soon started. Everyone who was related to Marquis Zhongxin sat down. Chu Yunfan sat with Chu Hongcai and Chu Haoyu. Opposite them were Chang Shenghong, Chu Xiujie, and the others.
This was also the first time Chu Yunfan had seen Chang Shenghong and the others. Although Chang Shenghong tried to hide it, Chu Yunfan could tell that his cultivation was actually at the peak sixth-tier of the Divine Abilities Stage.
For someone who was not even 50 years old, it was indeed very shocking. For a Divine, who had a lifespan of more than 200 years, 50 years old was still considered young.
The lifespan of the people in the Spirit Realm was extremely long, even more shocking than the lifespan of the humans in the Federation that had been improved by science.
Divines only had a lifespan of two hundred years in the Federation, but in the Spirit Realm, they had a lifespan of at least three hundred years.
The cataclysm of the Federation had only happened a few hundred years ago. The time for the transformation was still too short. In terms of science and technology, the Federation was able to create weapons like nuclear bombs that could even threaten Cores. In addition, they had put super weapons like the Star Destroyer into use. In terms of lethality, they were not necessarily inferior to the Spirit Realm.
However, the level of development in martial arts truly reflected the gap. It was simply an existence on two different planes. They could not be mentioned in the same breath.
However, even in Conglong City, this kind of cultivation was unmatched. The imperial capital was indeed the core of the entire Great Wei Kingdom. Anyone who came out of there would have such a cultivation.
This was what attracted Chu Yunfan’s attention. After he recovered his strength, he might have to make a trip to the imperial capital.
“Chu Yunfan, be careful. I just received news that Chang Shenghong defeated An Zhenguo!” Chu Haoyu warned Chu Yunfan.
At this time, Chu Haoyu had already given up. He knew that there was no hope for him so he did not hold anything back and placed all his bets on Chu Yunfan. After seeing Chu Yunfan’s ability, he knew that if he were to be half-hearted, the consequences could be very serious.
“Don’t worry, it’s useless.” Chu Yunfan sneered.
He didn’t take Chu Haoyu’s words to heart. No matter what kind of strength Chang Shenghong had, he was still far inferior to Chu Yunfan.
On the other side, Chang Shenghong was staring at Chu Yunfan. This was the person who had embarra.s.sed him in front of everyone. A cruel smile appeared on his face. He wanted to make this person lose face in front of everyone.
Not long after, the lmarquis finally arrived with his family. There were two people in the center of the crowd. One was the marquis himself, and the other was an old lady who looked to be in her seventies or eighties. This old lady had white hair, but she walked with great strength.
In reality, the backyard of the residence was now under the control of the old madam. The wife of the marquis had suffered the same fate as the marquis’ few sons. They had all died in the attack.
“Yunfan, come here, come here!” As soon as the old madam sat down, she waved at Chu Yunfan.
Many people were shocked. Although they knew that Chu Yunfan was favored, it seemed that he was far more favored than ordinary people imagined.
The old madam had actually left a seat beside her for Chu Yunfan.
