"Since it's a marriage that represents the formal union of the two clans, it's a first-class event for both the Ye Ling Sect and our Chu family. The marriage partner sent by both sides must undoubtedly be the successor of their respective forces. Only in this way can the Ye Ling Sect and the Chu family be fully integrated into a force after the children of the two parties are born, and they can gain a foothold in the middle island and even the entire Archaic Alliance," Chu Tianliang continued.
Hearing this, Chu Tianlu, as the person involved, did not seem to have reacted, but Lin Yi, a bystander, could already guess what was going on.
Obviously, the reason why Chu Tianliang schemed against Chu Tianlu was not for the Spirit Knowledge Fruit, but for the marriage!
"I don't think I need to say more about who Duanmu Yu is. Looking at the younger generation of the Archaic Alliance, she's definitely one of the top geniuses. There's no doubt about her status in the Ye Ling Sect. Whoever marries her will be the successor of our Chu family, and they'll also get a great opportunity to enter the Ye Ling Sect in the future. There's no doubt about this." Chu Tianliang's eyes shone as he spoke.
Although their Chu family had a Nascent Soul old monster, and compared to ordinary sects and families, they were already an existence that stood out, compared to the ten small sects and families, they were still not worth mentioning. Even if they had a Nascent Soul old monster, it was useless. The reason for this was that their foundation and potential in other aspects were too lacking.
Not to mention other things, just the most important core strength alone, the Chu family could not be compared to the ten small sects and families like the Ye Ling Sect. The number of Gold Core experts in any of the ten small sects and families was more than double digits, and some even had twenty or thirty. Looking at the Chu family, there were only two Gold Core experts below the Nascent Soul old monster level. The gap between them was obvious.
In contrast, due to the fact that they had spent a lot of money to cultivate their reserve forces in recent years, the gap between the younger generation of the Chu family and the traditional aristocratic families like the Ye Ling Sect seemed to be much smaller. At least in terms of the number of disciples at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and the peak late Foundation Establishment, there seemed to be little difference at first glance.
However, this was completely an illusion.
Although they were both at the peak of the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, their strength and potential might be as different as heaven and earth. Geniuses like Ling Tianyou and Duan Muyu were destined to have boundless futures, but for the vast majority of experts at their level, it was already a blessing to be able to reach the threshold of the Gold Core Realm, or even to be stuck there for the rest of their lives.
Among the younger generation of the Chu Clan, the two people who were in the limelight the most were precisely Chu Tianlu and Chu Tianliang. The former was a bit better in terms of talent and strength, but even so, he was far from being able to compare to the likes of Duanmu Yu. Duanmu Yu was an influential figure that received much discussion in the Ancient Jianghu, while they were a group of people that were never paid attention to.
Now, an opportunity had suddenly appeared in front of them, giving them the opportunity to form a marriage alliance with Duanmu Yu. This was completely unimaginable in the past, so it was no wonder that Chu Tianliang was so excited.
After all, he had once seen Duanmu Yu with his own eyes. In addition to her somewhat heroic spirit, she could be considered to have a beautiful face and a good figure. In addition, she had the strength and status behind her. At that time, he had such a feeling that if he could conquer such a woman in bed one day, what more could he ask for in life?
The discussion of the clan's upper hand was almost over, and the matter of the marriage alliance was already a foregone conclusion. Duanmu Yu was close at hand, and Chu Tianliang's heart was really itching. Unfortunately, this matter was far from being in the bag.
If nothing unexpected happened, the candidate sent by the Chu Clan for the marriage alliance would definitely be either him or Chu Tianlu. Compared to the two of them, the other younger generation of the Chu Clan were either lacking in strength or bloodline background, and would not be considered at all.
Chu Tianliang had long coveted Duanmu Yu, so he would naturally think of ways to get rid of Chu Tianlu before the candidate for the marriage alliance was finally decided. Not only was Duanmu Yu the grandson of the clan leader, but Duanmu Yu's strength was also a notch higher than his. This was the biggest obstacle in front of him.
That was why he had schemed so hard to fall out with Chu Tianlu.
Tai Snake Island was the best opportunity to get rid of Chu Tianlu. For this, he had spent a great deal of effort to persuade his father, and did not hesitate to find someone to rent two additional entry slots. It was all for the sake of bringing in these two helpers by his side. Otherwise, let alone killing Chu Tianlu, it would already be good if he was not killed instead.
"I have no plans to fight with you over Duanmu Yu." Only now did Chu Tianlu suddenly understand the other party's intentions. He had always been focused on cultivation, and very rarely paid attention to gossip unrelated to cultivation. Even this time, he was one of the last to find out about the marriage alliance with the Leaf Spirit Sect. He had no interest in Duanmu Yu at all. He never expected that he would actually become a thorn in Chu Tianliang's side because of this. He was completely innocent.
"Is that so?" Chu Tianliang narrowed his eyes when he heard this. He clearly did not believe him. As the saying went, a fair and graceful lady was a gentleman's desire. Although Duanmu Yu was very different from ordinary women, she did not lack for men at all. On the contrary, she was even more attractive. He did not believe that she had no feelings at all.
"Everything I said is the truth. I've never seen Duanmu Yu, and I've never cared about Duanmu Yu. You don't have to worry about this. In any case, the two of us have been brothers for several decades. Is it appropriate for us to kill each other for a woman we don't even know?" Chu Tianlu countered with a question.
"Now that you put it like that, it really doesn't seem too appropriate." Chu Tianliang's attitude suddenly changed. He changed the subject and said, "To be honest, this cousin of yours has never mistreated me. If it wasn't absolutely necessary, I don't want to fight to the death. But what if Grandfather decides to let you marry Duanmu Yu? What should I do?"
Although he had already made up his mind to get rid of Chu Tianlu on Tai Snake Island, and the situation was already in the bag, this was not without risks for Chu Tianliang. After all, Chu Tianlu was not an ordinary person. If he suddenly died on Tai Snake Island at this critical juncture, no matter how flawless his preparations were, it was still very easy to arouse suspicion. If his grandfather took this matter seriously, there would be a lot of trouble in the future.
"That's easy. I'll just refuse on the spot," Chu Tianlu said directly. Chu Tianlu said straightforwardly. He had no interest in this matter in the first place. Besides, he was not a one-track minded idiot. Once the negotiations broke down in this situation, his chances of survival would be close to zero. After all, apart from Chu Tianliang, the other party also had an expert in the early stage of the Gold Core Realm and an expert at the peak of the late stage of the Foundation Realm. He was not Ling Tianyou.
