Chu Yunfan's demon-like figure was deeply engraved in everyone's minds. He was an invincible existence, like a reincarnated god of war.
After the banquet, Chu Yunfan was summoned to the rear courtyard by the Marquis of Zhong Xin and the old madam.
In the drawing room, the Marquis of Zhong Xin and the old madam sat on the main seats. As a junior, Chu Yunfan sat below.
"Yunfan, I heard from Yaowei that you don't plan on becoming the heir of the Marquis of Zhong Xin?" The old madam got straight to the point.
The old madam was quite astute. Although she doted on Chu Yunfan in the past, she never said that she wanted Chu Yunfan to become the heir of the Marquis of Zhong Xin.
She only doted on Chu Yunfan because she felt guilty towards her son who had passed away. It didn't mean that she didn't see the big picture.
However, the situation now was completely different. Judging from Chu Yunfan's performance, it could be said that he was unexpectedly outstanding.
Chu Yunfan was only twenty years old. Without a doubt, his future was boundless.
Ignoring everything else, just his strength was enough to become the heir of the Marquis of Zhong Xin. If Chu Yunfan was the heir of the Marquis of Zhong Xin, the old madam could even smile in the underworld. The Chu clan would surely flourish because of this.
However, when she mentioned this idea to her son, Chu Yaowei, she heard that he had already mentioned it to Chu Yunfan. Who knew that Chu Yunfan wouldn't have the slightest interest?
To Chu Yunfan, the position that others fought for with their lives was like a pair of worn out shoes.
That was why she got straight to the point and asked Chu Yunfan.
"Yes, Madam. My ambitions do not lie here. Even if I force myself to stay, it will be useless!" Chu Yunfan shook his head. "However, I feel that Chu Hongcai is a good candidate. He is young and has great potential. In the future, he will definitely become a qualified heir!"
Chu Yaowei and the old madam were disappointed. Of course, they couldn't say that Chu Hongcai wasn't outstanding enough. He had reached the divine ability realm before the age of twenty. This kind of talent was top-notch even among the heirs of the most influential clans in the capital.
However, one shouldn't be afraid of not knowing what's good or bad; they should be afraid of comparing goods to goods. Chu Hongcai was obviously an outstanding candidate, but compared to Chu Yunfan, he was far too lacking.
It was precisely because of this that they still had Chu Yunfan in their hearts.
But regarding the matter of inheriting the family business, they could not really force Chu Yunfan and force Chu Yunfan to accept the matter of the Marquis of Zhongxin residence.
"So you're saying that as long as the candidate is Chu Hongcai, you'll support him?" Chu Yaowei recalled Chu Yunfan's words and hurriedly asked.
Chu Yunfan nodded. He understood Chu Yaowei's words. He wanted Chu Yunfan to support the Marquis of Zhongxin residence. Even if he wasn't the heir of the Marquis of Zhongxin, with the talent and strength that Chu Yunfan had displayed, his future was limitless.
With the support of such a powerful person, the Marquis of Zhongxin residence could at least live in peace for several hundred years.
"As long as Hongcai becomes the heir of the Marquis of Zhongxin in the future, I can support the Marquis of Zhongxin residence. After all, I am a member of the Chu family. There is no reason for me to not help my own people!"
Chu Yunfan said.
"That's good!" Chu Yaowei said. Although this wasn't the best result, it wasn't the worst either.
Moreover, as long as Chu Yunfan still supported the Marquis of Zhongxin residence, it would be of great benefit to the Marquis of Zhongxin residence.
"I'll immediately report this to the imperial court and have Hongcai become the heir of the Marquis of Zhongxin!"
Seeing that Chu Yunfan was so agreeable, Chu Yaowei immediately returned the favor and said.
Although this matter still required the approval of the Great Wei State's imperial court, generally speaking, as long as it was reported, it would be approved.
"I think that this child Hongcai isn't bad. He has talent and strength, and most importantly, his heart isn't bad either. He's very lucky to have met you!" Chu Yaowei said with a smile. He had always been observing these candidates. Apart from the mysterious Chu Yunfan, he naturally knew the information of the others by heart.
Moreover, he had no other choice now. Chu Xiujie had already been eliminated, Chu Haoyu had voluntarily given up, and Chu Yunfan wasn't willing to participate either. In that case, apart from Chu Hongcai, he had no other candidate.
Moreover, what he valued the most was the good relationship between Chu Hongcai and Chu Yunfan.
"Yes!"
Chu Yunfan nodded, agreeing with Chu Yaowei's view.
"However, I've made a move on Chang Shenghong today. I hope I won't make things difficult for you, Matriarch!"
The old lady shook her head and said, "What's difficult about it? The current Duke Ning is my nephew. Try and see if he dares to grin at me. Moreover, this brat Chang Shenghong is truly too daring. He dares to interfere in the affairs of others. Beating him up is for his own good. Otherwise, something will happen sooner or later!"
In the end, the old lady still felt sorry for Chang Shenghong, but she also understood that if she didn't beat him up today, the trouble he would encounter in the future would be even greater.
Out of respect for her, Chu Yunfan only punished Chang Shenghong lightly. Teaching him how to conduct himself was one thing, but if it was someone else who was vicious and merciless, he would have been slaughtered long ago.
As an elder of the Chang family, she naturally had the obligation to teach the younger generation, even if she had to use this kind of method.
"That's right, I'll write a letter to Duke Ning when the time comes. It's not a big deal, it's just a flesh wound. They are all in the Divinity realm. They'll be back to normal in a few days!" Chu Yaowei didn't take this matter to heart. It wasn't the first or second time that the younger generation of nobles got into a fight. In fact, they weren't much better when they were young. Each of them was more preposterous than the other. As long as they didn't kill anyone, it wasn't a big deal.
"Moreover, even if Duke Ning and the others aren't willing to let this matter go, will you be afraid?"
Chu Yaowei looked at Chu Yunfan with a smile that wasn't a smile. It was as if he had seen through Chu Yunfan.
Chu Yunfan naturally smiled, but didn't say anything. He obviously wasn't afraid. Once he recovered his strength, the entire Great Wei State would be under his control. What was there to be afraid of?
"Alright, both of you can leave now. I'm also tired!" the old lady directly gave the order to chase them away.
Chu Yunfan left Marquis Zhong Xin's Mansion. He had just returned to the Mountain River Elixir Pavilion when he discovered that a member of the Battle Wolf Gang had been waiting in the Mountain River Elixir Pavilion for a long time.
"Master Chu, I've been waiting for you!"
The member of the Battle Wolf Gang quickly stepped forward and said.
"What's wrong?" Chu Yunfan looked at the member of the Battle Wolf Gang in a strange manner.
"Our gang leader has invited you over!" the member of the Battle Wolf Gang promptly said.
"What's the matter?" Chu Yunfan asked.
