Chapter 1885 - 1885 1875 The Chu Family Gains Fame

1885: Chapter 1875: The Chu Family Gains Fame 1885: Chapter 1875: The Chu Family Gains Fame “Brother Long Yan and I have just arrived from the Tuoluo Plane, following Miss Chu into the Chu Family,” Long Yan said.

“It was Miss Chu who invited us to be guardians of the Chu Family.

Whether what I say is true or not, you will know once you ask Miss Chu.”

Long Yan stated.

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Elder’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Long Yan did not seem to be lying, and Chu Yuqin indeed had visited the Tuoluo Plane.

Could it be that Chu Yuqin truly invited the three brothers Long Yan to become guardians of the Chu Family?

“If Miss has indeed invited you to be guardians of the Chu Family, she would have given you the Chu Family’s Worship Token.

Do you have such a token as proof?”

The Ninth Elder still harbored doubts; it was almost impossible for three Ninth Level Void Gods to become guardians of the Chu Family.

“Miss Chu did not give us a Worship Token.”

Long Yan spoke truthfully.

“Without a Worship Token, it proves you are not guardians of the Chu Family.

To dare to run wild in the Chu Family, you are in the wrong place.”

The Ninth Elder said coldly.

Since the three brothers Long Yan did not have a Worship Token, there was only one possibility: they were not really guardians of the Chu Family at all; their previous words were completely deceptive.

“Ninth Elder, they are indeed guardians of the Chu Family.”

Just as Long Yan was about to explain, Chu Yuqin’s voice suddenly rang out.

As soon as her voice fell, she stepped forward from behind the crowd.

“Miss Chu!”

The Ninth Elder nodded and saluted Chu Yuqin, puzzled as to why Chu Yuqin would invite three Ninth Level Void Gods to become guardians of the Chu Family.

“Ninth Elder, I will explain this matter to you later.”

Chu Yuqin said to the Ninth Elder and then asked Long Yan, “Are you all okay?”

“We are fine.”

Long Yan replied.

“Little Cui, what exactly happened here?”

Chu Yuqin asked Little Cui.

“Miss, it’s like this…”

Little Cui stepped forward and explained the whole situation in detail, without any concealment or exaggeration.

After hearing Little Cui’s explanation, Chu Yuqin’s expression immediately turned cold, and with an icy gaze fixated on Chu Jian and Chu Tianyi, she scolded sternly, “Are you brothers so deservedly worthless?

Have you completely ignored the family’s disciplines?”

The Chu Family was teetering on the edge of danger, and yet the brothers Chu Jian dared to be so reckless, how could she not be furious?

“I know my mistake and won’t dare to do it again!”

Chu Jian hurriedly admitted his mistake, fearing Chu Yuqin like a mouse fears a cat.

Chu Tianyi also bowed his head, not daring to say anything.

“Tianyi, go back and take good care of your injuries.

As for you, Chu Jian, starting from today, you will reflect upon your actions behind closed doors.

For the next three months, you are not allowed to set foot outside the courtyard!”

In one fell swoop, her words became a judgment.

Upon hearing this, Chu Jian nearly fainted from anger; being ordered to stay inside to reflect for three months was almost more unbearable than death.

“Everyone, please disperse.”

Chu Yuqin signaled everyone to leave, then she said to Little Cui, “You take the three guardians to choose one of the best courtyards.”

“Yes, Miss!”

Little Cui nodded and then led Long Yan, Long Chen, and Zhan Wushuang deep into the mansion.

Afterward, Chu Yuqin and the Ninth Elder also left.

Very quickly, Little Cui led the three brothers Long Yan to one of the best and most spacious courtyards deep within the Chu Family Mansion.

“Guardians, this is one of the best courtyards in the Chu Family.

What do you think, are you satisfied?”

Little Cui’s demeanor was respectful, fearing she might inadvertently offend the three, who were now guardians.

“We are very satisfied.”

Long Yan smiled.

The courtyard was very spacious and arranged with much care, grand without seeming lavish, with waterside pavilions and various palatial buildings—it was sufficient for the brothers to reside in.

Afterward, Little Cui had someone bring over some things from inside the spiritual fruits and also arranged for two servants to attend to Long Yan and his two companions before leaving.

Right after everyone dispersed, an explosive piece of news spread throughout the Chu Family.

“That’s impossible, right?

Three Void Gods becoming guardians of the Chu Family, isn’t that nonsense?”

“A Virtual God Fifth Stage defeating a Ninth Level Void God, that’s absolutely impossible; such a genius has never appeared in the Eastern Wasteland Plane.”

“Even Void Gods can become guardians of the Chu Family, has the Chu Family fallen to this point?

If that’s the case, even I could become a guardian for the Chu Family.”

…

The news spread rapidly, and it even started to spread throughout Sky Punishment City.

Those who heard it could hardly believe it.

An hour later, inside the Assembly Hall of the Chu Family.

Chu Yuqin sat in the main seat, and the other seats were occupied by core characters of the Chu Family.

After Chu Yunxiao was poisoned, he had delegated control of the Chu Family to Chu Yuqin temporarily.

“Elders, stewards, I have gathered you here today mainly for two matters.

The first matter is concerning the alliance through marriage between the Chu Family and the Misty Rain Tower.”

Chu Yuqin’s gaze swept over those present as she spoke, “The young lady of Misty Rain Tower, Mu Yunyan, has been murdered.

Our alliance through marriage with Misty Rain Tower cannot proceed.

I have been to the Tuoluo Plane and have ascertained that the perpetrator who killed the Misty Rain Tower young lady, Mu Yunyan, is Young Master Yao Ye.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression changed.

“Miss, could it be that Yao Ye from Demon Desolation Mountain?”

An elder inquired.

“Indeed, it is that Young Master Yao Ye from Demon Desolation Mountain.”

Chu Yuqin nodded, confirming.

“Why would Young Master Yao Ye show up in the Tuoluo Plane?”

The crowd was perplexed; Young Master Yao Ye, from the High Order Plane of Demon Desolation Mountain, normally wouldn’t go to the Tuoluo Plane.

“The Muye Clan is deeply involved in this matter.”

Chu Yuqin spoke, “Young Master Yao Ye colluded with the Muye Clan.

Instructed by the Muye Clan, Yao Ye was the one who killed Mu Yunyan.

Muye Huang also went to the Tuoluo Plane, and my second brother, Chu Xiong, met his end at his hands.

I myself narrowly escaped Young Master Yao Ye’s foul play.”

The trip to the Tuoluo Plane was extremely dangerous, and the Muye family’s schemes had nearly succeeded.

“What?”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression drastically changed.

They had never imagined that the Muye Clan would be behind this affair, the chief culprits.

The Second Young Master Chu Xiong died at the hands of Muye Huang—was the Muye Clan seeking war with the Chu Family?

“The Muye Clan sure has the audacity to strike at the Chu Family!”

“We must demand an explanation from the Muye Clan; otherwise, the Chu Family will not hesitate to wage war against them!”

“I think the Muye Clan is tired of living; the Chu Family has tolerated them for so long, do they really think the Chu Family is so easy to bully?”

…

For a moment, angry voices rose in succession, and everyone was filled with rage.

“The matter is not so simple.”

The eldest among them, the Great Elder of the Chu Family, who was sitting at the front, began to speak.

“If the Muye Clan dares to move against the Chu Family, they must have support.

It is clear from Young Master Yao Ye’s collusion with the Muye Clan that they have connected with Demon Desolation Mountain.

With Demon Desolation Mountain as their backing, the Muye Clan naturally would not fear the Chu Family.”

The Great Elder spoke, his expression grave.

For the Chu Family was not in a position to contend with Demon Desolation Mountain, especially since the clan leader had been severely poisoned, depriving the Chu Family of its strongest pillar.

Only a minority knew of Clan Leader Chu Yunxiao being poisoned, and the Great Elder was among them.
