The dog that he raised was killed. This made Shen Mo very angry, but he felt that it was troublesome.
The Shen Family dominated the Tong Zhou Prefecture, so there was not much to do. With Shen Rong's ability, she could take care of everything.
Shen Rong was loyal enough, and he could use her easily. But now, she was killed. Where could he find another person like her?
At this time, the servant said cautiously, "Master, the Chu Family is waiting outside. They said that this matter was just an accident. They have absolutely no intention to have a conflict with our Shen Family. As long as the Shen Family is willing to let this matter go, everything can be discussed. "
Shen Mo raised his eyebrows, "Everything can be discussed? This Chu Clan is quite tactful. Call the Chu Clan's people over. "
In the living room, Housekeeper Chen humbly bowed to Shen Mo and said, "Master Shen, my Chu Family …"
"Okay, I know what you want to say. No need to talk nonsense."
Housekeeper Chen was interrupted by Shen Mo before he finished speaking.
Shen Mo waved his hand and said, "Your Chu Family's second son killed my Shen Family's housekeeper. This matter is not so easy to settle. But considering your Chu Family's sincerity this time, I will be lenient this time and not pursue the matter further. "
Housekeeper Chen heaved a sigh of relief and heard Shen Mo say lightly, "I also can't bear to see your Master send off his son. As for that Chu Xiu, just abolish his martial arts and teach him a lesson."
After Housekeeper Chen heard this, he was shocked. Abolishing his martial arts was no different from killing Chu Xiu!
Just as he wanted to say something, he saw Shen Mo's face turn gloomy, "Don't refuse! Your Chu Family has no right to refuse now. I am already magnanimous enough.
After a few days, it will be the Qingming Festival. My eldest brother is preparing to return to the Shen Family to pay his respects to his father. At that time, if this matter reaches his ears, he will not be as easy to talk to as me!
Take these words back to Chu Zongguang. The choice is in his hands. Whether he wants his son or the Chu Family, let him choose! "
As his voice fell, Shen Mo turned around and left, leaving a helpless Housekeeper Chen.
The backer behind the Shen Clan was too great, so great that as long as that backer was brought out, it could completely crush their Chu Clan.
When Housekeeper Chen told Chu Zongguang about the Shen Family's intention, Chu Zongguang's face revealed a trace of anger. Obviously, he was also dissatisfied with the Shen Family's overbearing attitude.
Housekeeper Chen whispered, "Master, why don't I do as second young master suggested and seek refuge with the Northern Yan. Even if the Canglan is the Canglan Sect, how can they be stronger than the Northern Yan Sect?
Chu shook his head and said, "Absolutely not! Old Chen, you know what I'm doing. I'm at a critical moment in my research. How would I have the time to deal with these things?
Chu Zongguang's face revealed a cold expression as he said, "Housekeeper Chen, go tell Shen Mo that I agree to his conditions. Invite him to the Chu Clan for a drink tonight. I'll cripple Chu Xiu in front of everyone and give him an explanation."
Housekeeper Chen hesitated, "But Second Young Master's talent is not bad, in the future …"
Chu Zongguang waved his hand and said, "The future is the future. Let that unfilial son bear the consequences of his own actions!
I will remember this matter with the Shen family. In the future, when I have successfully researched that thing and my strength has greatly increased, I will personally find the Shen family to settle this account!
Also, I, Chu Zongguang, have more than one son. Chu Xiu, that unfilial son, is too radical and not suitable to manage the family. This time, I will cripple his martial arts and spare his life. Let him be a rich young master. Don't think too much about useless things. "
Housekeeper Chen shook his head. Since Chu Zongguang had already done so, he could only do as he was told.
At this time, the Chu Clan had also begun to prepare a banquet to welcome Shen Mo.
Chu Zongguang's decision was not hidden from others. When Gao Bei heard the news from others, he immediately jumped in fright. He hastily took a pile of food and pretended to deliver it to Chu Xiu as he entered the ancestral hall.
The person guarding the ancestral hall was a Blood Condensation expert of the Chu Clan. There were also several servants of the Chu Clan. They didn't stop Gao Bei from going to see Chu Xiu. In truth, they also didn't approve of Chu Zongguang's method.
After killing a Shen family housekeeper, he wanted to cripple his own son's martial arts to atone for his crime. This was a bit too cowardly.
Within the ancestral hall, Chu Xiu's expression was calm. Seeing Gao Bei walk in, Chu Xiu frowned and said, "Has there been a change in the situation outside?"
Gao Bei put down the box of food and whispered to Chu Xiu, "Young master, it's not good! The Shen family's head, Shen Mo, actually wants you to cripple your own martial arts to atone for his crime. In the end, the master agreed! Shen Mo will come tonight. The master is prepared to cripple your martial arts in front of everyone to give Shen Mo an explanation! "
Chu Xiu's face immediately revealed a trace of coldness. This father of his was really able to bear to do this!
For a martial artist, crippling someone's martial arts was simply worse than death. It was no different from killing them.
What really made Chu Xiu unable to believe was that Chu Zongguang had actually agreed to such an outrageous condition. Was it because the Shen family was too strong, or was Chu Zongguang too cowardly?
"Young master, what should we do now? Should I go inform Ma Kuo and ask him to come help? "
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "It's useless. Ma Kuo hasn't reached the Blood Condensation realm yet. He can't even break into the Chu Clan, so I can't go out either."
Chu Xiu could definitely kill the Blood Condensation expert guarding the ancestral hall. But the problem was that he didn't have the Goose Feather Saber with him. He only had a short saber. If he wanted to kill the opponent, it would definitely take some time, and that time would be enough for Chu Zongguang to arrive.
Although the difference between the Blood Condensation realm and the Xiantian realm was only one realm, it was still a small bottleneck.
As long as it was a bottleneck, after crossing it, it would usher in a sharp increase in strength. With Chu Xiu's current strength, he had no confidence that he could defeat Chu Zongguang.
Moreover, time was a little tight. It was already noon, and Shen Mo would come in the evening. If he had a few more days, Chu Xiu could have asked Ma Kuo to go to Shang Mang Mountain to find Han Bao and ask him to save him. Unfortunately, it was too late now.
Chu Xiu thought for a moment, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a frightening cold light.
There was a pen and paper in the ancestral hall, which was used to record the date of worship and other things.
Chu Xiu wrote something on the paper, folded it, and handed it to Gao Bei. He said in a deep voice, "Give this paper to Ma Kuo. Ask him to take it to the three strange people. After they get the things, ask Ma Kuo to leave immediately and return to Shang Mang Mountain. You as well. After you give the paper to Ma Kuo, immediately leave with the caravan and go to Qingyuan Town. Remember, after you leave, don't ever come back! "
Gao Bei's eyes revealed a touch of shock. What was Chu Xiu planning to do after sending him and Ma Kuo away? Although he didn't know the details, Gao Bei could already vaguely guess the result.
He was just about to say something, but Chu Xiu directly shouted in a low voice, "Time is running out, and there's no time for nonsense. Just do as I say!"
Gao Bei gritted his teeth, put the paper close to his body, and left the ancestral hall.
Chu Xiu, however, opened the food box expressionlessly. Inside was his favorite yellow wine, a golden pheasant, and some side dishes.
With a calm expression, he poured a glass of wine and tore off a chicken leg. However, at this moment, there was a faint trace of killing intent in Chu Xiu's eyes.
He could no longer sit on the position of the Chu family's successor. Plans could not keep up with changes.
Chu Xiu did not want things to come to this point, but he did not want to be crippled of his martial arts. Therefore, the others could only die!
At night, the Chu family's mansion was brightly lit. Shen Mo also arrived as promised. He was very satisfied with the Chu family's tactfulness.
Shen Mo only brought a few trusted subordinates to the Chu family, but Chu Zongguang directly brought Chu Kai, Chu Sheng, who had just been released, and some elders of the Chu family to personally welcome him.
"Patriarch Shen's visit this time really brings light to our humble Chu family. The banquet has been prepared, please come in."
Chu Zongguang's face showed a trace of a hypocritical smile. Although he also secretly hated Shen Mo's domineering attitude, people under the eaves still had to bow their heads. Since he was not going to make an enemy of the Shen family, he had to show enough face.
Shen Mo casually cupped his hands and said, "Patriarch Chu is too polite."
Once everyone was seated in the living room, Chu Zongguang raised his wine cup to Shen Mo and said, "Patriarch Shen, my unfilial son killing Shen Rong was really a misunderstanding. That unfilial son has always been restless, and in this period of time, who knows how much trouble he has caused. Today, I will cripple him in front of Patriarch Shen as an apology!"
Shen Mo nodded and said, "In a martial arts family like mine, the most important thing for disciples is to follow the rules. Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. Chu Xiu really should be taught a lesson."
Chu Zongguang waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Go and bring Chu Xiu over!"
After a moment, the Blood Condensation cultivator of the Chu family brought Chu Xiu over.
This was Shen Mo's first time seeing Chu Xiu, but this first meeting made him feel a bit strange.
At this time, Chu Xiu should already know his situation. He had been stripped of all his authority and his martial arts had been crippled. But why didn't he have the slightest panic on his face? Instead, he was extremely calm?
Chu Zongguang coldly snorted and was just about to say something when he heard a loud sound. The Chu family's main gate was directly blown open and miserable screams rang out from the front courtyard.
