Chu Hengding, who had been hesitant at first, immediately laughed out loud. "You traitor, you're lying without any basis. Bing Wuqing might be a genius, but who doesn't know that she's only at the early Gold Core stage? How laughable! If you hadn't said that, I might have been wary of the Snow Sword School.
You've just overreached yourself! "With that, Chu Hengding prepared to continue attacking. Since he was certain that Chu Tianlu was lying, it didn't matter even if it really was Bing Wuqing inside. At worst, he'd just push all the blame onto Chu Tianlu.
Unfortunately, just as Chu Hengding was about to attack, he was stopped by Chu Yunteng. Naturally, Chu Yunteng would not oppose Chu Hengding for the sake of two nameless pawns. However, if one of them was a genius of the Snow Sword Faction, the situation would be completely different. From a certain perspective, Chu Yunteng and Chu Tianlu were rather similar. They were both willing to put aside their own personal gains and losses for the sake of the Chu clan. It was just that the extent to which the two of them could do so was different.
"Stop! Chu Hengding, are you trying to put the Chu family on the line? The Snow Sword School isn't something we can offend. Regardless of whether it's Bing Wuqing inside or not, this matter must be handled by the family head!" Chu Yunteng, who had already taken a step back just now, now had a rather unyielding attitude.
Not only that, but Chu Yunteng's own peak late Gold Core aura also completely erupted, firmly suppressing Chu Hengding. Chu Hengding seemed to be on the verge of surpassing Chu Yunteng in terms of power, but in terms of individual strength, Chu Hengding was still far inferior to Chu Yunteng.
"Great Elder, since you're so insistent, then let's go talk to the family head!" Chu Hengding's expression was dark. He wasn't as strong as Chu Yunteng, so there was nothing he could do. Even though he'd acted so strongly before, he still couldn't completely fall out with Chu Yunteng.
If things went awry, Chu Yunteng would completely fall to Chu Tianlu's side.
After saying that, Chu Hengding snorted coldly and left with the Third Elder. uu1;
Chu Yunteng took a deep look at Chu Tianlu, Lin Yi, and Bing Wuqing. Then, he turned around and left. Things had developed to this point, and it felt like the situation was getting out of control. Hopefully, things would turn for the better after the Family Head stepped in. However, Chu Yunteng wasn't very confident about this. Instead, he felt a faint sense of unease.
As it turned out, Chu Yunteng's premonition was correct. Why was Chu Hengding, who was only at the peak of the middle stage of the Gold Core Realm, able to surpass Chu Yunteng, the Great Elder? It was because the family head trusted Chu Hengding!
Chu Hengding, who had left first, used just a few words to successfully convince the head of the Chu family, Chu Yuntian. He made Chu Yuntian believe that Chu Tianlu had colluded with outsiders to harm his own brothers and clansmen.
When Chu Yunteng arrived, Chu Yuntian's anger was already rising, and his face was extremely gloomy.
"Family Head, this matter still needs to be thoroughly investigated!" Chu Yunteng felt helpless. Because Chu Hengding was deeply trusted by Chu Yuntian, he had been able to quickly enter and meet with the Family Head. On the other hand, Chu Yunteng, as the Great Elder, had been obstructed and delayed for a while. As a result, he couldn't even speak firmly.
Before Chu Yunteng could finish speaking, Chu Yuntian waved his hand and said, "Yunteng, you don't need to say anything more. Chu Tianlu, that unfilial descendant, not only colluded with outsiders to harm his own brothers, but also found someone to pretend to be a Nascent Soul Ancestor and come to the family to swindle people. This is truly intolerable! "
Chu Yunteng's heart skipped a beat. Originally, he had hoped that the family head would be able to turn the situation around. Now, it seemed that it would be good if he didn't add oil to the fire. For the sake of the Chu family, Chu Yunteng could only brace himself and say, "Family Head, let's put the matter of Heavenly Road aside for now. This matter also involves Bing Wuqing of the Snow Sword Faction. In my opinion, that young man doesn't seem to be a fake, so we still need to be cautious in this matter."
What Chu Yunteng was implying was that, let alone the fact that the Chu family was only a small family right now, even if they managed to form a marriage alliance with the Leaf Spirit Sect, they would at most become the weakest of the ten small sects. There was no way they could compare to an established sect like the Snow Sword Sect. Offending the Snow Sword Sect would only bring them harm.
After hearing Chu Yunteng's words, Chu Yuntian calmed down a little. After a moment's thought, he said, "No matter what, Tianlu is still my grandson, a direct descendant of the Chu family. I'll just meet him once and listen to what he has to say. As for those two people, regardless of whether they are Bing Wuqing of the Snow Sword Faction or not, let them come with me."
Chu Hengding glared at Chu Yunteng hatefully. If this old man hadn't messed things up, Chu Tianlu would have died today!
But it didn't matter now. Since Chu Yuntian already had a preconceived impression of Chu Tianlu, it would probably be very difficult for him to believe Chu Tianlu's words. If Chu Yuntian didn't have such a personality, Chu Hengding wouldn't have had the opportunity to control the entire Chu family's economy.
"Hengding, send someone to the dungeon to bring Chu Tianlu and those two outsiders out. Bring them to my Yang Yuan Hall to see me." Chu Yuntian turned his head and gave this order, then got up and prepared to leave.
This was Chu Yuntian's training room, so he naturally couldn't allow outsiders to casually enter, and the Yang Yuan Hall was the place where he received outsiders.
Chu Hengding bowed and said, "Yes, family head!" He didn't want Chu Tianlu to leave the underground prison so quickly. He didn't even want to send him back after a while. uu3;
Unfortunately, Chu Yuntian was the Clan Master, and a Nascent Soul old monster at that. With Chu Yuntian's status, it was obviously impossible for him to lower himself to the dungeon. He could only send someone to bring the three of them to the Yang Yuan Hall.
As for Chu Hengding himself, he definitely wouldn't leave Chu Yuntian's side. He didn't want Chu Yunteng to cause trouble and ruin the situation.
Chu Hengding and Chu Yunteng looked at each other with unfriendly expressions when they saw Chu Yuntian leave. They didn't say anything and quietly followed Chu Yuntian to the Yang Yuan Hall.
After a while, Chu Tianlu, Lin Yi, and Bing Wuqing were all escorted over. Because they were here to see the Chu family's master, Chu Hengding's subordinates didn't make things difficult for them.
"Grandfather!" As soon as they entered the Yang Yuan Hall, Chu Tianlu took two steps forward and knelt down.
Lin Yi shook his head inwardly. This guy was really too honest. Since you've already knelt down, you should at least cry and complain about your grievances. All you did was call him grandfather, and that was it. Those who didn't know better would think that you were feeling guilty.
Chu Hengding snorted and said, "You traitor, how dare you call grandfather the family head!"
"The matter hasn't been decided yet. How can you pin the traitor label on Tianlu?" Chu Yunteng immediately stood up to refute Chu Hengding. He had already made up his mind. Since he had already offended Chu Hengding, it didn't matter if it was more or less.
