This was the third day after the Marquis of Zhongxin's return. Chu Yunfan had regained his half-step to Dan Realm strength.
In the central courtyard of the Marquis of Zhongxin's Manor, a man in a luxurious robe, who looked to be in his fifties or sixties, was sitting in the study, handling all kinds of documents.
This person was none other than the Marquis of Zhongxin, Chu Yaowei.
Behind him was a square-faced man who looked to be in his forties. This man stood motionless behind Chu Yaowei, as if he was a wooden stake.
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard from outside, followed by a voice announcing, "Chu Yunfan requests an audience!"
Chu Yaowei raised his head and said, "Come in!"
A tall and slender figure in black walked in slowly. It was Chu Yunfan.
"Greetings to the Marquis of Zhongxin!" Chu Yunfan bowed with a serious expression.
"Sit!" Chu Yaowei said.
Chu Yunfan did not refuse. He sat down and met Chu Yaowei's eyes in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
"Chu Yunfan, during this period of time, you have done many great things!" Chu Yaowei looked at Chu Yunfan and said with a smile that was not a smile.
However, he had underestimated Chu Yunfan. When facing him, Chu Yunfan did not have a shred of fear in his heart. The reason why he maintained his politeness was that he had respect for Marquis Zhongxin's residence for taking him in during this period of time.
"May I know what the Marquis is referring to?" Chu Yunfan asked.
"I heard that even Chu Xiujie was defeated by Chu Hongcai?" Chu Yaowei said calmly.
He was not completely ignorant of the cliques formed among the candidates. In fact, he was happy to see this happen, and had even facilitated it.
This was like breeding insects, choosing the strongest among these people to inherit the Marquis of Zhongxin's Manor.
Although this was a helpless action, there was no other way.
"Yes!" Chu Yunfan said calmly.
"I heard that Chu Hongcai was trained by you?" Chu Yaowei continued to ask.
Chu Yunfan said in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, "That was his own hard work. I only gave him a few pointers!"
Chu Yaowei's facial muscles twitched, and he almost wanted to flip the table. Was this a casual request?
In just one month, a Xiantian seventh stage warrior had broken through to the Magical realm. If this was just a casual instruction, then what was the meaning of helping him with all his might?
However, Chu Yaowei quickly controlled his expression. He was used to Chu Yunfan's attitude. In fact, this was not the first time Chu Yunfan acted like this.
He was like this almost every time. He was neither servile nor overbearing, as if he was on equal footing with him. Although he was sharp, he did not show it. He was not the kind of person who was arrogant and domineering.
Originally, he didn't care because he felt that it was meaningless to argue with a child. Moreover, if his mother found out, he would be reprimanded.
Moreover, he was more or less tolerant towards this person who looked extremely similar to his deceased younger brother.
However, things were different now. He realized that he didn't understand Chu Yunfan at all. Chu Hongcai was able to improve by leaps and bounds with just a few simple pointers. Chu Yaowei didn't believe that Chu Yunfan was weak at all.
Even though Chu Yunfan had such an advantage, he always hid himself. Could it be that he really had no interest in the position of the Marquis of Zhong Xin?
"You were the one who guided Chu Hongcai to fight for the position of Marquis Zhongxin's heir, right? What, are you not interested in it at all?" Chu Yaowei asked. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Chu Hongcai competing for the Marquis of Loyalty's position.
It wasn't frightening for a man to be ambitious. What was frightening was the mismatch between his ability and ambition. If Chu Hongcai was only at the seventh stage of the xiantian realm, Chu Yaowei himself would have chased him away. But now that he was at the divine ability realm, things were different.
"My talent is shallow and I am afraid that I do not have the qualifications to fight for the position of the Marquis of Zhong Xin!" Chu Yunfan said.
"This is not the truth!"
Chu Yaowei said confidently. He could see that Chu Yunfan didn't come out to fight because he felt that his talent was shallow. That kind of indifferent confidence was something that only people who had extreme confidence in themselves could have.
Confidence without being ostentatious was something that many people could not do!
This was especially true for young people like Chu Yunfan. Either they didn't have confidence, or if they did, they would definitely be ostentatious. From a certain perspective, ostentatiousness wasn't a bad thing, because the passion of youth could often accomplish things that middle-aged and old people couldn't.
However, this made people like Chu Yunfan, who was confident but not ostentatious, even more rare!
Chu Yunfan didn't know what Chu Yaowei was thinking. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He had seen many great storms and stood at the peak of the world. A mere position of the Marquis of Loyalty's heir was not worth him going to war.
However, Chu Yunfan didn't conceal anything since Chu Yaowei had said it like this. He straightforwardly said, "Becoming the Marquis of Loyalty's heir is a kind of restraint for me. My ambition is to stand at the peak of martial arts!"
"You are very courageous!"
Chu Yaowei shouted loudly. An indescribable ray of light flickered in his eyes. It must be known that many people wanted to fight for this position, but they didn't have the qualifications to do so. Those who had the qualifications to fight for this position had also fought until their heads bled. On the contrary, this position had become a restraint for Chu Yunfan.
No one had dared to speak so straightforwardly in front of him!
"I am only speaking the truth. You think that you can have everything if you have the power. However, I think that you can have everything if you have the strength. It won't be difficult for me to fight for the title of Marquis in the Great Wei State with my strength!" Chu Yunfan straightforwardly said.
"Marquis, he is very confident. It would be better for me to persuade him!"
The middle-aged man behind Chu Yaowei stood up and said at this time.
"Becoming the Marquis of the Great Wei State is not that simple!"
"Very well. Wang Zhenxi, you should also persuade him!" Chu Yaowei said.
Chu Yunfan wasn't in his plan at first. He wasn't in his list of candidates. However, Chu Yunfan had revealed his elegant demeanor at this time. Therefore, Chu Yaowei didn't want to let him go like this.
He thought that Chu Yunfan's way of thinking was very childish. Everyone thought that they could change the world when they were young. However, they couldn't even change themselves.
The middle-aged man — Wang Zhenxi — took a step forward. The coercion of the Divine Power Realm burst out. However, it was controlled by Wang Zhenxi very well. So, it crushed towards Chu Yunfan.
Wang Zhenxi was an expert of the eighth stage of the Divine Power Realm. He was only a step away from the ninth stage of the Divine Power Realm.
Such a person was a rare expert in the Great Wei State.
