Chu Yunfan's move directly stunned those servants. Some quick-witted people immediately thought that Chu Yunfan was most likely hiding his strength in this one year. He was not as weak as many people thought.
He was not trash at all, being able to cripple Chu Yang Hui with one kick. With this kind of strength, no one would believe that he was not at the peak of the Xiantian Realm.
And with this kind of strength, he had been hibernating like a ferocious beast in the fog. Now, this ferocious beast was finally going to reveal its claws and teeth to the outside world.
Chu Yunfan returned to his own side hall and the matter of him crippling Chu Yang Hui with one kick quickly spread throughout the residence of the Marquis of Zhong Xin.
But when it involved the two candidates for the position of heir, they could not make the decision themselves. And now, the two people in the residence that could make the decision were not around. The Marquis of Zhong Xin accompanied the old lady back to her hometown to visit her relatives.
But the influence that this matter represented was still fermenting.
But Chu Yunfan did not care about this. To him, recovering his own strength was the most important. Those criticisms were nothing but clowns to him and he would not take them to heart.
In a remote side courtyard of the residence of the Marquis of Zhong Xin, Chu Yunfan sat cross-legged on a praying mat. Faint white smoke continued to be emitted from his body, disappearing bit by bit into the sky.
The meridians in his body were too badly damaged and it was very difficult to mobilize even a little bit of his Fa Li.
But with Chu Yunfan's continuous efforts, he was finally able to mobilize a little bit.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps was heard. Following that, a person of about 17 or 18 years old appeared at the entrance of the courtyard. His face still had some tenderness.
"Brother Fan, are you in?"
Hearing that, Chu Yunfan revealed a smile on his face and said, "Come in!"
That 17 or 18 year old youth pushed open the door and walked in. When he saw Chu Yunfan, he said, "Brother Fan, you finally made a move and taught that bastard Chu Yang Hui a lesson. I have heard that he actually dared to make a move on you. He really deserves to die!"
"It's just a small punishment to warn him to commit a serious crime!" Chu Yunfan swept his gaze over the youth and said, "Hongcai, did you fight with someone?"
He saw that the youth's clothes were all dirty and his hair was scattered. He cut a sorry figure.
"It's all because of that bastard Chu Yanghui. Chu Xiujie and his gang are plotting to give you a good lesson. It seems that they want to deduct your monthly salary. I was so angry that I quarreled with them!" Chu Hongcai said angrily. "However, I can't stay on Chu Xiujie's side any longer. Brother Fan, since you've made an exception and made a move, why don't I just follow you? Neither Chu Xiujie nor Chu Haoyu are your match anyway!"
Chu Yunfan didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Chu Hongcai. He could naturally tell that Chu Hongcai was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
In truth, Chu Hongcai was also one of the dozen or so candidates for the position of heir. However, he was the youngest among them, only around 10 years old. As such, his strength was also the lowest. When he first entered the manor, he had been bullied because of his young age. After being secretly rescued by Chu Yunfan, he had become obedient to Chu Yunfan.
However, Chu Yunfan had no intention of fighting for the position of heir, so he had no choice but to stand with Chu Xiujie in the end.
Today, because of Chu Yang Hui's sneak attack on Chu Yunfan, he had completely fallen out with Chu Xiujie's faction.
"You were too impulsive!"
Chu Yunfan said with a smile. However, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. Chu Hongcai had the temperament of a young man. He was hot-blooded and always acted according to his heart. It seemed that this kind of person was rather rare.
"Alright, I'll stop talking for now!" Chu Hongcai said. "I've arranged a duel with Chu Yongyan. I'm going to beat him to death! Normally, when I see that he's so clean and innocent, I know he's not a good person. I can tell with a single glance that he's a pretty boy, but I didn't expect him to be so treacherous! He was the one who came up with the idea to deal with you, brother Fan!"
Chu Yunfan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just by looking at his clean and innocent face, it was obvious that he wasn't a good person. What kind of logic was that?
With that, Chu Hongcai rushed out in a hurry.
Chu Yunfan frowned, then stood up. He couldn't just ignore this matter.
The Marquis of Zhongxin's manor was a martial family. There was a duel area in the manor for the Chu clan's descendants to settle their grudges and spar with one another.
At this moment, the entire duel area was bustling with noise. Chu Yongyan and Chu Hongcai, the two heir candidates, were about to fight in a duel.
Many people in the manor had come to watch the duel, especially after Chu Yunfan had crippled Chu Yanghui with a single kick. In the afternoon, there was another battle between two heir candidates.
As the date of the Marquis of Zhongxin's heir selection drew closer and closer, the infighting became more and more obvious.
However, the two people who were fighting this time were a little strange. They were originally from Chu Xiujie's camp, but now, they were fighting over Chu Yunfan.
By the time Chu Yunfan arrived, the place was already bustling with noise. Below the duel area, Chu Hongcai was angrily confronting a group of people.
All sorts of people had gathered around to watch the show.
Chu Yunfan looked over and saw a young man around twenty-five or twenty-six years of age standing across from Chu Hongcai. He was dressed in a luxurious robe, and his skin was fair. His face was handsome, but there was a hint of malice between his brows.
This was the pretty boy that Chu Hongcai had spoken of, Chu Yongyan.
Behind Chu Yong Yan was a group of young men dressed in luxurious robes. They were clustered around a young man with a dignified appearance. This young man had a calm but angry look on his face, especially when he saw Chu Yunfan appear.
This was one of the two most popular heirs of the Chu clan's heir candidates, Chu Xiujie.
Chu Yunfan's arrival quickly drew everyone's attention. The aftermath of Chu Yunfan's crippling of Chu Yanghui with a single kick had yet to fade, and now Chu Yongyan and Chu Hongcai were about to fight on the stage because of him.
Chu Xiujie glanced at Chu Yunfan, and a hint of coldness flashed through his eyes. He had truly lost a lot of face today. Chu Yanghui had been crippled by a single kick from Chu Yunfan, and now, his subordinate, Chu Hongcai, had betrayed him because of Chu Yunfan.
He could already imagine how Chu Haoyu would mock him this time. He couldn't even control his subordinate.
And all of this was because of Chu Yunfan!
This was someone he had never thought highly of!
