Chapter 155: Chapter 37: Make the Entire Gangluo City Tremble for Oneself
Translator: 549690339
Chu Family Residence
Chu Family Guards like Chu Si half-knelt on the ground, lowering their heads, waiting for the family head Chu Ming to speak.
“Did he help you escape from the clan’s predicament and lead you out of the Broken Forest?” Chu Ming slowly began to ask after a long silence.
“Yes… Young Master Chu seems to no longer be the same as he was before, he has undergone a great change.” Chu Si’s face turned red with embarra.s.sment.
They, the Chu Family Guards, were ordered to protect Chu Mu and safely bring him back to the family.
But things happened in reverse; the experienced Chu Mu safely brought the Chu Family Guards, who were trapped in the Broken Forest, back to the family.
Chu Si, who had been in the Chu Family for so many years and had become an old and experienced Soul Pet Master, felt extremely embarra.s.sed about this humiliating event.
“Family head, won’t you meet with the young master?” Chu Si glanced at Chu Ming and asked.
“It’s good that he returned safely, whether to meet or not is secondary. Chu Si, you can leave first.” Chu Ming replied.
Chu Si nodded, performed a respectful bow, and left the room.
“Father, Chu Mu does seem to have changed. I took a quick look just now, and I could sense his restrained temperament, which has a mysterious and hard to see through aura.” Chu Tianheng, the eldest son, slowly began to speak.
“So what do you think about his current strength and whether he can enter the recommendation?” Chu Ming looked at Chu Tianheng.
Chu Tianheng is Chu Ming’s eldest son, and Chu Ming knows his character very well. Chu Tianheng rarely speaks, he’s level-headed and calm, but he’s very accurate when dealing with people. Therefore, Chu Tianheng’s inability to see through Chu Mu made Chu Ming somewhat surprised.
“For now, I don’t know Chu Mu’s true strength. It’s not false that he was able to kill Yang Jie, but Chu Xing and Chu He’s strength are both above Yang Jie’s. Recommendations are quite dangerous, Chu Mu is younger and more vulnerable. So, it’s better to let Chu Xing and Chu He handle it. After all, they have been preparing for this for a long time and are more likely to have countermeasures.” Chu Tianheng explained.
“Well, then we’ll stick to the original plan.” Chu Ming nodded.
Chu Mu’s courtyard was located in the east of the Chu Family Residence. When the window was opened in the morning, he could see the sun rising in the horizon where birds took flight. Then, a ray of clean sunlight would sprinkle in front of Chu Mu’s window…
Chu Mu hadn’t felt like this for a long time. When he woke up, he felt as if he had returned to four years ago, and his experiences over the past four years were only a tense nightmare.
The sleepy Little MO Ye s.h.i.+fted her body, not letting the sunlight disturb her sleep. Chu Mu gently stroked her fur and placed her beside the pillow, then had his servants come in to help him get dressed.
The maid has been replaced and Chu Mu wasn’t used to it yet. After was.h.i.+ng, he put on clean clothes, and the lazy Little MO Ye, finally woke up. She ran to the basin herself, washed her cute cheeks, and then shook her little head to shake off the water.
“The weather is nice.” Chu Mu’s mood was good since he returned to the family, his only regret being that his father wasn’t there.
When he came back yesterday, Chu Mu saw most of the Chu Family members and felt excited and relieved to see those familiar faces.
Of course, Chu Mu is no longer as naive as he once was, and he knows who in the family is kind to him and who has always been cold to him. As for the cold ones, Chu Mu has always treated them as if they didn’t exist.
“Young Master, after you have your morning tea, the family head would like you to visit the main hall.” The maid said to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu nodded, dismissed the maid, and fed his soul pets their morning meal before filling his stomach.
Upon arriving at the main hall, Chu Mu could clearly feel that there were more Chu family members gathered in the hall today, apparently for a significant family meeting.
“Chu Mu, come over to my side.” In front of everyone, Chu Ming called Chu Mu to his side and let Chu Mu sit next to his main seat.
Chu Ming had already seen Chu Mu last night, and it was Chu Mu’s first time seeing the old man shedding tears.
Grandpa Chu Ming had always been very fond of Chu Mu, even when Chu Mu couldn’t summon a soul pet, he didn’t show any prejudice, and had always protected Chu Mu. Naturally, Chu Mu and his grandfather, Chu Ming, had a deep bond.
Last night, seeing Chu Ming’s haggard appearance, which seemed to have aged him by ten years in just four years, Chu Mu secretly made up his mind that this time he would return to make the Chu family rise in Gangluo City!
“Originally, Grandpa should have set up a grand feast for you, to welcome and celebrate your return. However, the Chu family is currently in the midst of many troubles and it’s the time of recommendation. After the recommendation, Grandpa will hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for you,” Chu Ming said.
Chu Mu nodded and didn’t say anything, sweeping his gaze over the members of the Chu family who were attending today’s gathering.
The Chu family is divided into two branches, one is the head of the Chu family, Chu Ming, and the other is the second head, Chu Nan.
Chu Ming has six sons, the eldest son Chu Tianheng, the second son Chu Tianlin, both of whom Chu Mu has already seen. Chu Tianlin is an impulsive person, an enthusiastic and protective uncle towards Chu Mu.
His son Chu Ning shares a similar temperament with Chu Tianlin, pa.s.sionate and righteous, and can’t stand people who resort to petty tricks.
Chu Mu’s big uncle, Chu Tianheng, is a reserved middle-aged man, who is responsible for all the family matters. Chu Tianheng has a son and a daughter, Chu Xing and Chu Qian.
Chu Xing is the eldest of the third generation in the Chu family, and also the strongest among the younger generation of the Chu family. Chu Qian is the eldest sister in the Chu family, but she was taken notice of by the Great Chu
n.o.ble Family a few years ago, and now she is an inner disciple of the Great Chu n.o.ble Family, said to be quite famous there too.
Chu Ming’s third son, Chu Tianren, pa.s.sed away in the wild years ago.
The situation regarding Chu Tianren has always been unclear. Some people have asked about it in the past, but there doesn’t seem to be any concrete information. It is more accurate to say that he went missing, and as for the real situation, it is unclear to Chu Mu’s generation.
However, his son Chu He is the second strongest among the Chu family’s youth and has received much attention from the Chu family.
Chu Ming’s fourth son Chu Tiancheng, who is Chu Mu’s father. Chu Tiancheng comes from the Great Chu n.o.ble Family, and it is rumored that the inheritance dispute in the Great Chu n.o.ble Family led to Chu Tiancheng being squeezed out and a.s.signed to the remote Gangluo City’s Chu family branch…
Chu Ming’s fifth son Chu Tianqi, Chu Tianren is in charge of the family business outside, and only his daughter Chu Yishui is in the family, being the youngest sister in the main branch.
Chu Ming’s sixth son Chu Tianjue, in charge of Chu family’s va.s.sals, has the second-highest authority after eldest son Chu Tianheng. His daughter, Chu Ying, is only less powerful than Chu He and is a rather domineering young lady within the family.
Among the side branches of the Chu family, there is also a young expert named Chu Lang, whose strength ranks in the top five among the Chu family’s younger generation and is highly valued by the Chu family.
As for the other branch, Chu Nan is the second family head. There are not many descendants in Chu Nan’s line, only one son, Chu Tianjing, and his grandson, Chu Yi.
Chu Yi is the most arrogant young master of the Chu family, barely ranking fifth among the younger generation of the Chu family.
Chu Yi has often brought trouble for the Chu family due to his unruly nature, with a mean and rude personality. When Chu Mu couldn’t summon soul pets in the past and had no qualifications to become a soul pet master of the next generation, he was often subjected to mockery and ridicule by Chu Yi.
Yesterday, when Chu Mu returned with the Chu family guards, Chu Yi deliberately mocked Chu Mu, “The family has one more parasite.”
Chu Yi, being the only grandson of the second head, Chu Nan, received all the love and affection, and no one in the family wanted to provoke this bully of the Chu family.
Of course, there are people who can deal with him in the Chu family, and that’s the eldest brother, Chu Xing. Chu Xing’s strength is the strongest in the family, and if Chu Yi goes too far, Chu Xing wouldn’t care if Grandpa Chu Nan loved him or not, he would still beat him up.
When Chu Mu returned yesterday, Chu Xing didn’t want to spoil the atmosphere of the brothers’ reunion and didn’t bother with Chu Yi, whose character was already well-known.
And today, at the Chu Family Hall morning meeting, Chu Mu could see the disdainful look in Chu Yi’s eyes. If it had been before, Chu Mu might have been angry, but now, he simply ignored that unpleasant guy’s existence.
The topic of this morning’s meeting was obviously about the recommendations that would take place in three months.
Recommendation is the most important compet.i.tion in Gangluo City, with each major family electing their top five young experts to partic.i.p.ate in a public compet.i.tion held in the city.
The purpose of the compet.i.tion is not to compare the strength of each major family, but to select a few outstanding individuals from each family and recommend them to Luovu Citv to continue the selection.
However, as the conflicts between the major families in Gangluo City intensify, the recommendation of young experts to Luoyu City has become secondary. Firstly, it is difficult for these young experts from Gangluo City to compete with the experts gathered from various cities in Luoyu. Secondly, the people recommended for these spots are generally predetermined by the city’s ruling Yang family. After all, the entire Luoyu region is under the control of the Yang family.
Nowaday, the recommendation has evolved into a compet.i.tion among the young generations of major families, with territories at stake as the price!
Whether a family is thriving depends on the strength of its capital and the breadth of its connections, but what is even more important is the owners.h.i.+p of the territory.
Any family can’t afford to lack powerful Soul Pet Masters, and the sources of soul pets for soul pet masters are often obtained through the family, either through purchasing or through territory acquisition.
Family territories generally have obvious markings and are not allowed for non-clan Soul Pet Masters to capture or hunt soul pets in them.
These territories often have a wealth of soul pet resources, which can provide a variety of soul pets for soul pet masters. If there are still supplies left over, they can also be sold to other forces, and the profits obtained are also very large.
Generally speaking, a Level 6 ordinary territory can capture at least four Commander-level soul pets with good qualifications every year, as well as other Warrior and Servant level soul pets. From these pets, outstanding pets can be chosen that are not inferior to Commander-level pets, invisibly cultivating many experts with Commander-level soul pets for the family!
Therefore, the territory is the most important resource for the family and the lifeblood of a family’s development!
This meeting was obviously to determine the five partic.i.p.ants for the recommendation contest. The people present had an idea of who these five members would be.
“This time, let Chu Xing lead the team, with the members being Chu He, Chu Yi, Chu Ying, and Chu Lang.”
“We hope that you can fight for our family to reclaim this territory!” Chu Ming swept his gaze over the five sitting members and spoke seriously.
“Yes!”
All five members nodded earnestly, taking on the responsibility for the Chu family.
When they heard that Chu Mu’s name was not among the five, Chu Ning and Chu Tianlin immediately showed a puzzled expression. They had already informed their family leader, Chu Ming, of Chu Mu’s strength and expected Chu Mu to be considered in the lineup.
“Grandfather, why isn’t Chu Mu partic.i.p.ating?” Chu Ning suddenly asked.
Chu Ning had witnessed Chu Mu’s battle with Yang Jie. Although Chu Mu could only summon two soul pets, his strength was comparable to that of the Soul Masters. If Chu Mu were to join the battle, the chances of winning the recommendation contest would be very high.
“Yeah, Father, Chu Mu’s strength is very strong now. His Evil Flame Six-Tailed
Demon Fox seems to have reached the Fifth Rank, and the Night Thunder Dream Beast is at the Fifth Rank Five Stage. Isn’t this enough to be in the top five of our generation?” Chu Tianlin was also surprised by Chu Ming’s announcement.
“Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox!! Night Thunder Dream Beast!”
When Chu Tianlin mentioned Chu Mu’s soul pets, it immediately caused a commotion among the people!
The Night Thunder Dream Beast and the Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox are both rare soul pets. If cultivated, their strength would indeed be enough to compete with the top five members of the Chu family!
“Chu Mu just returned to the family, and he must be very tired. There’s no need for him to partic.i.p.ate in such a dangerous battle,” Chu Ming said.
Instead of letting Chu Mu partic.i.p.ate immediately, Chu Ming seemed to have no intention of letting Chu Mu take action.
After all, this compet.i.tion is a significant change for both the family and Chu Mu himself.
“But…” Chu Tianlin and Chu Ning still wanted to say something. They both knew Chu Mu’s strength well. It wasn’t just the strength of his soul pets, but also Chu Mu’s ability to control them was very experienced.
Chu Ming frowned, signaling the two not to say anything more.
“Grandfather, since Chu Mu can now summon soul pets, he should contribute to our family. Just a few days ago, my sister was pestering me to take her to our clan’s territory to help her capture soul pets. Let Chu Mu accompany my sister to the territory. I can also use the time to train my soul pets.” Chu Yi spoke appropriately.
“Well, that’s fine. Chu Mu, take some time off these days, and when you have time, accompany your sister to the territory to have a look. There should be no problem, right?” Chu Nan, the second family master, also nodded his head, excluding Chu Mu from the compet.i.tion without waiting for Chu Ming to speak.
Chu Mu glanced at Chu Nan but just shrugged indifferently and said, “No problem.”
Chu Mu got a new soul pet, Little MO Ye, who was only at the Third Rank Fifth Stage, and he needed to acc.u.mulate battle experience and grow rapidly through metamorphosis by fighting lower-ranked soul pets.
Chu Ming deliberately looked at Chu Mu, seeing that he had no dissatisfaction, he nodded his head and looked around at everyone.
“Let’s end it here today. Everyone, you may leave,” Chu Ming said to everyone.
People nodded and bowed before leaving, seemingly discussing Chu Mu’s Night Thunder Dream Beast and Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox as they went.
Soon, only Chu Mu, Chu Ming, Chu Tianheng, and a sullen Chu Tianlin were left in the hall.
“Father, what are you doing? Chu Mu is not the same as before. He is fully capable of bearing our family’s responsibility. Why would you exclude him?”
Chu Tianlin, being impatient, blurted out the words he had been holding back.
Chu Ming ignored Chu Tianlin and glanced at Chu Mu before slowly saying, “Chu Mu, you should understand why your grandfather didn’t let you partic.i.p.ate, right?”
Chu Mu nodded and replied, “Grandfather does not want me to get into any more trouble, and you probably want me to train a few more years and partic.i.p.ate in the next recommendation.”
Chu Ming and Chu Tianheng both nodded approvingly.
The two indeed guessed that Chu Mu’s current strength was very strong, enough to turn the tide.
However, Chu Mu could only summon two soul pets at the moment, and he was younger compared to the other partic.i.p.ants. The risk of him partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion was too great.
Instead of doing that, it would be better to let the promising Chu Mu develop for a few more years and partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion after five years. By then, he would surely be able to sweep all the experts in Gangluo City!
“You have the heart, which comforts me. Just now, I was worried that you would think I neglected you. You are now our family’s secret weapon, and I believe that in five years, you will definitely shock the entire Gangluo City,” Chu Ming said seriously, patting Chu Mu on the shoulder.
Chu Mu simply nodded, but his thoughts were completely different from Chu Ming’s!
“For now, you should accompany Yishui to the family territory. You can also practice there. If you need anything, just tell me. I will do everything I can to help you,” Chu Ming said.
“Thank you, grandfather,” Chu Mu replied.
“Alright, you may go now. I need to discuss some matters with your big uncle and your second uncle,” Chu Ming told Chu Mu.
Chu Mu gave a simple bow and slowly walked towards the exit of the hall.
Seeing Chu Mu leave so calmly, Chu Tianheng’s eyes underwent a slight change as he said, “Chu Mu has indeed matured. Earlier, he didn’t say a word under such circ.u.mstances, and even his eyes remained calm. It’s not something that ordinary people can have.”
Chu Ming agreed and nodded, saying, “I believe he will bring hope to our family.”
After leaving the hall and facing the vast Chu family mansion, Chu Mu remained still like a statue.
It wasn’t until after a moment that Chu Mu slowly smiled and thought to himself:
Five years?
There is no need for so much time. Let the entire Gangluo City be shocked by me in just three months!
The Nightmare Demon Palace’s power is immense, and it’s not something Luo region can compare with. In addition, Chu Mu, who has a high position in the Nightmare Demon Palace, is already among the top experts. In the entire Luo region, only the well-known Luo Nightmare Youth could possibly compete with Chu Mu, and Chu Mu doesn’t even consider other characters.
Now, Chu Mu is more than capable of sweeping Gangluo City. As for five years later, Chu Mu feels that sweeping Luo Region, regardless of age, would not pose much of a problem!
Chu Ming doesn’t know Chu Mu’s true strength, and Chu Mu doesn’t mind. For the three months, Chu Mu will lay low. When the day of the compet.i.tion arrives, he will make his family, the Yang Family, and even Gangluo City tremble for him! (To be continued.
