"It doesn't matter if anyone from the Nangong Family made it back alive. This time, the Chen Family has definitely made a name for themselves in front of the Nine Great Families. Hongyuan is a great hero!" Seventh Master Chen Tianming said with a smile.
Chen Tianming was Chen Xinran's father. His daughter had been close to Chen Hongyuan since they were young. They were like biological siblings. Moreover, Chen Hongyuan had been very obedient and talented. He was a very good child.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was the second son, the Chen Family Head would definitely be him.
Moreover, even under such circumstances, he still believed that Chen Hongyuan was the most suitable person to be the Chen Family Head.
Originally, Chen Hongyuan had shone brilliantly during the Nine Clans Tournament, allowing the other eight great families to see the strength of the Chen family. This could be considered as winning glory for the Chen family, and it could be considered as having made some contributions to the Chen family.
However, because he only got fourth place in the end, the honor and contribution he got was naturally much lower.
If that was the case, it would be very difficult for Chen Hongyuan to become the successor of the Chen Family. The chances were not high.
However, he never expected that Chen Hongyuan would choose this path and enter the Dead Zone alone.
Initially, he felt that it was a pity. After all, Chen Hongyuan was still young and there would be other opportunities in the future. There was no need to be so extreme.
However, he never expected that Chen Hongyuan would succeed.
Just the fact that he had survived the Dead Zone alone was enough to make people not underestimate Chen Hongyuan's ability. To survive the Dead Zone, one not only needed a little bit of strength, but also a lot of survival skills.
Especially since they didn't have many people. It was said that Chen Hongyuan only had two partners, Dongfang Fei and Bai from the Dongfang Family. It was too difficult to survive the Dead Zone with just two partners.
Although the members of the Chen Family had never entered the Dead Zone, they had more or less heard about the situation in the Dead Zone.
Therefore, it was not easy for Chen Hongyuan to return this time. It was enough to prove his personal strength and ability.
Even if Chen Hongyuan returned, he would only accumulate some reputation in the Chen Family and let the Chen Family know that he, Chen Hongyuan, was very strong.
What he didn't expect was that Chen Tianxing would hold such a grand celebration party this time. Now the entire Chen family was promoting Chen Hongyuan's heroic deeds.
Was he hinting at something?
He wasn't sure, but since Chen Hongyuan had achieved so much, at least as his uncle, he had to support him.
"That's right. This time, Yuan-er has indeed contributed greatly to the Chen Family. It's already been a very long time since someone from our Chen Family was able to enter the Death Zone. Although he only obtained this one quota this time, Yuan-er did not let us down. To be able to return from the Death Region, this is already a huge success.
To a large extent, this trip to the Dead Zone has greatly encouraged the younger generation of the Chen family. He made them understand that as long as they worked hard, nothing was impossible.
The three great aristocratic families were so powerful, and each of them had eighteen people, but so what? Only a few of them managed to return. Even the Nangong Nobles didn't manage to return.
So, in comparison, we only sent one person, but he was able to return safely. This really makes me feel very gratified! " Chen Tianxing obviously wanted to promote Chen Hongyuan, and he was not stingy with his praise and satisfaction for Chen Hongyuan.
"That's right. This time, Hongyuan really did a great job!"
"I really didn't expect Young Master Hongyuan's strength to be so powerful now. I believe that compared to the Nine Clans Grand Competition, he should have improved even more. Our Chen Family really has a successor."
"Who knows, maybe after five hundred years, our Chen Family might really be able to become one of the three great aristocratic families!" Hearing the Family Head's words, some elders also started to flatter Chen Hongyuan.
Meanwhile, Chen Hongxing's face was gloomy as he listened by the side. Clearly, everyone's flattery made his mood worse.
If this really continued, his position as the successor would be in danger.
"Elders, you're flattering me. I'm just a little lucky." Chen Hongyuan was also a little surprised by today's matter. He didn't expect his father to suddenly raise his status.
This made him feel a little uneasy, because he was sure what his father's reason for doing so was.
Was this considered giving him the qualifications to compete for the position of Family Head?
He wasn't sure!
"Very good, young man. You're neither arrogant nor rash. You can still be so calm after achieving such proud achievements. The Chen Family needs young people like you!" Someone couldn't help but praise again.
"We old guys are old, and our future is limited. In the future, the Chen Family will rely on young people like you to lead it!" These elders were all very familiar with praising someone, and they were able to do it as soon as they opened their mouths. This made Chen Hongyuan feel a little embarrassed.
Even though he knew that they were just sucking up to him, he had no choice but to be respectful.
"Elders, you're flattering me!"
Of course, there were naturally people who were unhappy when some people were happy. For example, Great Elder Chen Tianwei, Second Master Chen Tianyun, and Fifth Master Chen Tianqing.
However, they also knew that if they spoke up at this time, they might become the target of public criticism and drown in the saliva of these flatterers.
Of course, Great Elder who received some news was a little hesitant. He was weighing his own pros and cons.
Chen Tianxing's behavior today was obviously a little abnormal. He was deliberately raising Chen Hongyuan and deliberately lowering Chen Hongxing.
If he were to pick on Chen Hongyuan at this time, it would inevitably make Chen Tianxing even more dissatisfied with him.
Although he was the Great Elder of the Chen Family, if he angered the public, everyone would have an opinion of him and even have the right to propose a change of the Great Elder.
Right now, most of the people were flattering Chen Hongyuan. If he were to speak up at this time, there wouldn't be many people who would support him. On the contrary, it would make people think that he was narrow-minded.
He then looked at Chen Hongxing and found that his expression was unusually ugly. He smiled in his heart and felt that it might not be a bad thing to raise Chen Hongyuan's status at this time.
Therefore, he smiled and said, "Young Master Hongyuan has really brought glory to our Chen Clan these few times. Previously, with our outstanding performance in the Nine Clans Competition, the other eight aristocratic families also saw that our Chen Clan is actually not weaker than them.
And this time, we even defeated the Nangong Family, the champion of the Nine Families Competition. This glory is even more dazzling than winning first place in the Nine Families Competition.
Although the Ji Family and the Situ Family have also returned, after this matter, I think none of them will dare to look down on our Chen Family anymore. "
As expected, Great Elder's words immediately caused everyone to be surprised.
