Faced with the suddenly aggressive Chu Tianlu, Chu Hengding and his son fell into a rare silence. Chu Yuntian immediately felt that something was wrong.
Although this old man was obstinate and self-opinionated, at the same time, he was also extremely suspicious. When he trusted someone, he might not show anything, but once he became suspicious, everything would be overturned by him and he would list everything as a target of suspicion.
Now was the time for Chu Yuntian to become suspicious of Chu Hengding. Chu Yuntian had believed everything Chu Hengding had said, but now, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
"Heaven's Road, what exactly is going on? Tell me honestly!" Chu Yuntian's expression was cold. He swept his gaze over Chu Hengding and the others, and finally stopped on Chu Tianlu. He ordered in an unquestionable tone.
Chu Tianlu immediately said respectfully, "When we left Tai She Island, two seniors and I killed a sea crab on a small island …"
This time, Chu Tianlu was smart. He didn't say that Lin Yi had separated from the other two before coming to support them. He told the story of how Lin Yi had fought the sea crab with Bing Wuqing after he arrived. This made people think that the three of them had been together the entire time, and that they had encountered the sea crab together.
Strictly speaking, Chu Tianlu was telling the truth. There was just a time difference. Whether or not people would misunderstand was not his problem.
After Chu Tianlu finished speaking, Chu Yuntian didn't need to verify the resonance between the inner core and the materials to be sure that Chu Tianlu wasn't lying. Then, who was lying about Chu Tianliang?
Chu Hengding's expression changed, but surprisingly, he didn't interrupt Chu Tianlu's narration. This surprised Lin Yi. Did Chu Hengding know that the situation was hopeless and gave up on struggling?
Chu Yuntian coldly swept his gaze over Chu Hengding, then snorted and said to Chu Tianlu, "Tianlu, tell me again about you and Tianliang!"
Chu Yunteng was taken aback. He hurriedly walked up and said in a low voice, "Family Leader, should we discuss this in private later? After all, there are many distinguished guests here. "
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't wash his dirty linen in public, Chu Yunteng wouldn't have bothered to help Chu Hengding. Although he and Chu Hengding hadn't completely fallen out, they weren't far from it.
Chu Yuntian narrowed his eyes and looked around. He forced a smile and said, "Fellow Daoists, Chu Yuntian has some family matters to deal with. Please excuse me if I have been rude."
As he spoke, he cupped his hands and bowed. Then, he waved his hand and released a barrier of vital energy that enveloped himself, Chu Hengding, Chu Tianlu, and the others.
"It doesn't matter now, Heaven's Road. If you have something to say, just say it!" Chu Yuntian said with a gloomy face. No matter what the final result was, he had already lost his face today.
Chu Hengding sneered, "Chu Tianlu, since the family head has asked you to speak, then speak. I'd like to see what other lies you can weave."
"I'll tell you! I, Chu Tianlu, am a man of indomitable spirit. I never lie. Every word I say is the truth. I have a clear conscience! "Chu Tianlu said boldly. He immediately recounted everything that had happened in full detail.
This time, Chu Hengding didn't interrupt him at all. He allowed Chu Tianlu to recount everything in detail. Even Chu Tianlu was a little surprised.
When Chu Tianlu said that Chu Tianliang had used the Shapeshifting Urn to turn Chu Wenshang into a scapegoat, Chu Yuntian's face darkened. He didn't feel sorry for Chu Wenshang, but for the Shapeshifting Urn!
This was a one-time-use treasure that could save his life at a critical moment, yet Chu Tianliang had actually used it in private. As for the person who gave it to Chu Tianliang, it was obvious who it was.
When Chu Yuntian heard that Chu Tianliang also had the Murderous Shadow Shield, he immediately exploded. Fortunately, Chu Tianlu had been careful this time and didn't mention the Divine Sense Fruit's core. He only said that he had been ambushed by Chu Tianliang while exploring. Otherwise, Chu Yuntian's attention would have been diverted by the Divine Sense Fruit's core.
"Chu Hengding, why don't you tell this old man what's going on? How could the Shapeshifting Urn and Murderous Shadow Shield from the family's treasury appear in Chu Tianliang's hands? "Chu Yuntian was already on the verge of exploding. He stared at Chu Hengding with bloodshot eyes.
This wasn't just because of the two treasures. No matter what, Chu Yuntian was still the head of the Chu family. Although these two consumable treasures were precious, they were not unbearable. What Chu Yuntian was truly angry about was that he had been played like a fool by Chu Hengding and his son. Anyone who was obstinate and self-opinionated was definitely an extremely arrogant existence. How could he tolerate the fact that he had been played like a monkey?
Chu Hengding laughed loudly and said, "Family head, are you going to believe whatever Chu Tianlu says now? Are you going to punish me for my crimes just like that? "
"You still dare to quibble?!" Chu Yuntian roared. "Do you really think this old man has gone senile? We'll know whether or not Chu Tianlu is lying if we check the amount of Shapeshifting Urn and Murderous Shadow Shield in the family treasury. Do you think he would tell such a clumsy lie? Or are you going to refuse to admit defeat until you see your coffin? Do you really want me to personally check what treasures are missing from the treasury? "
Chu Hengding curled his lips and shrugged. He said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. If you have nothing better to do, you can go take a look if you want. However, I'm not afraid to tell you that I was the one who gave these things to Tianliang for him to use to save his life. So what? Tianliang is also your grandson. Can't a dignified young master of the Chu Clan use these two disposable items? "
"You actually admitted it! You actually dared to admit it just like that! Good! At least you're somewhat responsible! " Chu Yuntian was greatly shocked, but he didn't think too much about it. Just as he said, if he wanted to prove whether or not Chu Tianlu was lying, it would be clear with a simple check. Chu Hengding had no way of denying it.
"Men, detain that unfilial son Chu Hengding. After the birthday feast, I'll personally deal with him!" Chu Yuntian removed the barrier of true energy and pointed his sword at Chu Hengding. He ordered the Chu family to capture him.
"Hahahaha! Old thing, you really want to capture me! " Chu Hengding laughed loudly. He didn't seem to realize that he was a traitor of the Chu family after being exposed. Instead, he arrogantly slapped Chu Yuntian's finger away and said, "Old fool! Do you really think I'm afraid of you? I was giving you face before. If you had cooperated obediently and continued to feign ignorance, I could have let you be the patriarch for a few more days. Now that you want to capture me, we'll just go our separate ways. Either the fish dies or the net splits! "
