"Maternal family? What maternal family? "Chu Yunfan asked.
"Brother Fan, you really don't pay attention to what's going on outside!"
Chu Hongcai looked at Chu Yunfan, and said with a bitter smile.
Chu Yunfan was completely focused on his own recovery. He didn't pay much attention to the outside world. This was a kind of carefree attitude because he had absolute confidence in himself. He believed that no matter what happened, it wouldn't affect him.
He also wanted to be free and unrestrained, but he knew that it was impossible for him to do so.
"The old lady is the daughter of Duke Ning's Chang family. When she returned from visiting her family, Duke Ning's young duke, Chang Shenghong, also came with her!"
Chu Hongcai said through clenched teeth.
Chu Yunfan slightly frowned. There were ten great dukes and many marquises among the nobles of the Great Wei State. Among them, the dukes were the most distinguished, and the marquises were a bit inferior!
The reason why the old lady had such great prestige in Marquis Zhongxin's manor was not only because she was the mother of Marquis Zhongxin, but also because her maternal family was Duke Ning.
"So, you're saying that your injuries were caused by that young duke?" Chu Yunfan raised his eyebrows as he asked.
"It wasn't him. He didn't even do anything!" Chu Hongcai said with a bitter smile. "But it was all because of him. Do you know what kind of words I heard? They only have a few people, yet they dare to say that they want to sweep through our Cong Long City. This is simply intolerable. Do they really think that there's no one in Cong Long City? "
Cong Long City was the place where the founder of the Great Wei State had started his career. So, it obviously had a very important position. However, the Imperial Capital was the place where many experts had gathered. So, it was the most elite place in the entire empire.
The competition between the nobles of Cong Long City and the imperial capital wasn't something that had happened in just one or two days. However, the imperial capital had gathered the majority of the nation's resources, and had firmly suppressed Cong Long City.
Moreover, many of the nobles of Cong Long City refused to accept this!
"If he wants to sweep, then sweep. Why did you rush in?" Chu Yunfan curled his lips as he spoke.
"Brother Fan, do you think I'm looking for trouble? Isn't it all because of that Chu Xiujie? Tsk tsk, Chu Xiujie has long colluded with Chang Shenghong. Damn it, this is the matter of the residence of Marquis Zhongxin. What right do they have to interfere? They even dared to warn me not to have any wishful thinking! "
Chu Hongcai said through gritted teeth.
"From what you said, he and Chu Xiujie are cousins. We are outsiders!" Chu Yunfan sneered. "But he's meddling too much in other people's business. Does he really think he's invincible?"
"That's right, damn it, I've never suffered such a big loss before!"
Chu Hongcai's rage flared up.
"Not only me, Chu Haoyu seems to have also been injured!"
"If that's the case, it should be my turn soon. I don't believe that they will let me go alone!" Chu Yunfan smiled faintly, but a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes.
"Who is Chu Yunfan? Get out here!"
While they were talking, a loud roar came from outside the shop.
At that moment, a tall, well-built young man dressed in luxurious robes was standing outside the First-grade Restaurant. His roar shook the entire street.
There was a hint of pride and arrogance on his face, but he soon realized that something was wrong. He noticed that the mercenaries passing by were all looking at him as if he were an idiot.
"Where did this idiot come from? He must be from somewhere else!"
"That must be the case. How could there be such an idiot among the locals?"
"I think so too. He probably doesn't know just how terrifying the owner of the Mountain River Pill Pavilion is!"
The mercenaries all looked at the young man as if he were an idiot. While not everyone had seen the owner of the Mountain River Pill Pavilion in action, they had more or less heard of him.
The vice boss of the Battle Wolf Gang, a seventh-level divine realm expert, had been slapped to the ground by the owner of the Mountain River Pill Pavilion. Even now, the Battle Wolf Gang hadn't dared to say a single word. On the contrary, they had even declared that the owner of the Mountain River Pill Pavilion was their friend, and that anyone who opposed him would be opposing the Battle Wolf Gang.
Even the number one gang of Dragon City had cowered in an instant. One could imagine just how famous the Mountain River Pill Pavilion had become. Very few people had seen the owner of the Mountain River Pill Pavilion in public, but that didn't stop the place from becoming a legend on the pill street.
Apart from that, the effects of the pills sold in the Mountain River Medicinal Pill Pavilion were at least twice as good as those sold in other stores.
Every morning, new goods would be placed on the shelves, and they would be swept clean. Among them, many were even refined by Wang Zhao. Chu Yunfan did not hide anything, and even told him some of the improved basic elixir formulas.
In any case, Chu Yunfan would have to take a cut of the pills he refined, so he would have to work for him in the end.
The mercenaries' gazes grew stranger and stranger, and the young man began to feel that something was amiss. He was even a little annoyed. Just as he was about to explode, two figures slowly walked out of the Mountain River Pill Pavilion, one in front and one behind.
He knew that the one behind was Chu Hongcai, and the one in front was someone he'd seen before. It was none other than Chu Yunfan.
"Is this the guy who injured you?" Chu Yunfan pointed at the tall young man.
"That's right. He's the eldest son of the imperial capital's Count of Zhenyuan, Xu Feng!" Chu Hongcai gnashed his teeth in hatred.
The arrogance he'd felt after defeating Chu Xiujie was instantly shattered. Only now did he realize what Chu Yunfan meant when he said that his horizons were too narrow.
He was indeed one of the best among the heir candidates of Marquis Zhongxin's estate, but he'd started too late. He was far too lacking compared to the other nobles who'd been raised as heirs from a young age.
Yet, he'd been beaten up so badly by a count that he couldn't even retaliate. This was a great humiliation.
"You've recovered from your injuries?" Xu Feng grinned. He looked at Chu Hongcai as if he was watching a joke.
"You're Chu Yunfan? I heard that you're quite arrogant, daring to covet something that doesn't belong to you. Today, I'll teach you not to dream about something that doesn't belong to you! "
Xu Feng turned to Chu Yunfan, a sharp glint in his eyes.
As he spoke, Xu Feng made his move in an instant. His figure was like a ferocious tiger as he pounced over. His fist was like a mace that swept across.
"Not good, be careful!"
Chu Hongcai hurriedly shouted.
However, Chu Yunfan didn't even look at him. He raised his leg and kicked out.
"Bang!"
Before Xu Feng's fist could even touch Chu Yunfan, he was kicked by Chu Yunfan. With a muffled grunt, he was sent flying like a broken kite.
