Number one prodigy
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, everyone froze. Even Chu Pingtian and the others were no exception.
Almost all of them had the same thought. Chu Xingyun was crazy!
After a moment of silence, a laugh filled with mockery rang out. It was Chu Pingtian, of course.
"Chu Xingyun, are you crazy? What qualifications do you have to be mentioned in the same breath as me? Not to mention becoming the head of the Chu clan, your existence is barely enough to call yourself a member of the Chu clan!"
Chu Pingtian acted as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. After that, he glared at Liu Shui Xiang, who was in the crowd. He finally understood what it meant to be a good-for-nothing.
Everyone laughed. What Chu Xingyun said was unpleasant, but it was the truth. Chu Xingyun was living such a poor life, yet he said he was qualified to be the leader of the Chu Clan. How hilarious!
Chu Xingyun didn't care about the crowd's mockery at all. The corners of his mouth were still smiling. He didn't say anything and directly took out a package from his storage ring.
When the bundle was opened, a misty light soared into the sky, causing everyone's eyes to widen as they looked in front of them in shock.
"Spirit stones! The bag is full of spirit stones! "
"A total of eighty Spirit Stones. That's a lot. Wouldn't that be equivalent to eight hundred thousand taels of silver?"
…
The crowd was constantly exclaiming. Eighty spirit stones were neatly arranged. It was too spectacular. They had never seen so much wealth. Even the three elders were the same. Their eyes were as wide as copper bells.
"The Head Elder was able to earn a hundred thousand taels of silver for the Chu Clan in a single year. That is indeed not bad. However, I only used a few days to earn eighty spirit stones. Furthermore, the process was extremely easy. Between the two of us, who do you think is more efficient and who is less?"
Chu Xingyun looked at Chu Pingtian with a smile, which made Chu Pingtian turn green. He was mocked by Chu Xingyun in front of so many people. How could he not be angry?
However, he couldn't argue back.
Chu Pingtian was confident that he could lead the Chu Clan to earn a hundred thousand taels of silver in a year. However, at this speed, it would take eight years for him to earn eight hundred thousand taels of silver.
Chu Xingyun casually took out eighty spirit stones and said it casually. He didn't seem to care about it at all. Facing such a huge amount of wealth, everything Chu Pingtian said was useless.
"Why aren't you talking, Head Elder?"
Seeing Chu Xingyun's silence, Chu's smile widened. He said, "However, I agree with what you just said. For a family, wealth is the most important thing..... if you didn't say that, I wouldn't have the courage to stand out."
Thump!
Chu Pingtian felt his heart tremble, as if an invisible hand had slapped him in the face. Apart from the pain, he felt more anger and embarrassment.
Everyone looked at each other. They didn't know what to say. They just stood there in a daze.
"Chu Xingyun, you seem to have misunderstood my father's words." While Chu Pingtian was speechless, a cold voice arose.
Everyone looked to the source of the voice at the same time.
A handsome young man appeared at the side of the ancestral hall. He wore a gray robe and had resolute facial features. His eyes seemed to contain a gloomy coldness, giving people a feeling of sharpness.
His name was Chu Hai. He was Chu Pingtian's son and Chu Yang's elder brother.
He straightened his back and proudly walked forward. All of the Chu clansmen in the ancestral hall looked at Chu Hai with gazes that contained a trace of reverence, admiration, and even flattery.
There was no other reason. Chu Hai was the number one genius of the Chu Clan. He was only sixteen years old, but his cultivation had reached the Sixth Sky. He had the third-rank Wu Ling, Ghost Demon Wolf.
With such talent and Wu Ling, almost everyone saw Chu Hai as the hope of the Chu Clan. That was why so many people supported Chu Pingtian to become the new leader of the Chu Clan.
Seeing Chu Hai, Chu Xingyun frowned. However, he still remained calm. He said, "What do you mean?"
Chu Hai looked at Chu Xingyun with a sense of superiority. He coldly said, "The wealth my father spoke of is enough to lead the entire Chu clan out of its current predicament and develop towards prosperity. You, on the other hand, have indeed taken out eighty spirit stones. However, this will only lead to nothing. It still won't change anything!"
"Moreover, for a complete piece of trash like you, even if you have a huge amount of wealth, you won't be able to achieve anything great. If you become the leader of the Chu Clan, the entire Chu Clan will only be cursed and mocked."
Each and every one of Chu Hai's words were extremely unpleasant to hear. They were simply unbearable to the ears.
However, many people still nodded. In this world where the strong preyed on the weak, strength was the most important thing. Therefore, not many people refuted Chu Hai's words. Instead, they looked at Chu Xingyun with strange smiles on their faces.
"Then according to what you said, with such wealth, if I am not a piece of trash, then I can naturally become the new leader of the Chu Clan?" Chu Xingyun's face was expressionless. No one could tell what he was thinking.
"That's right." Chu Hai shrugged with a hint of mockery.
The entire Chu Town, no, the entire West Wind City, everyone knew that Chu Xingyun was a piece of trash. Now that he suddenly asked this question, everyone felt strangely funny. Many people grinned.
"If that's the case, then according to what you said, how can I prove that I am not a piece of trash?" Chu Xingyun asked again. This made the people who were trying hard to hold back their laughter laugh out loud.
This laughter was mixed with a thick sense of mockery!
Chu Xingyun actually asked such a ridiculous question. Could it be that water had entered his brain and he had already begun to speak nonsense?
Chu Hai also laughed, and it was a loud laugh. His face was red as he said: "It's very simple. As long as your cultivation speed is half of mine, then you are not a piece of trash. You have the qualifications …"
Before he finished speaking, Chu Xingyun waved his hand, interrupting Chu Hai's words. He said with a faint smile: "Thank you for your answer. After hearing your words, I am even more certain that the position of the leader of the Chu Clan belongs to me, Chu Xingyun."
"What!" Chu Hai was stunned at first, then his entire body exploded with rage. He roared: "Chu Xingyun, you little bastard, you dare to play with me!"
Chu Hai's entire face was burning. He felt that he had been humiliated.
He took a step forward, preparing to teach Chu Xingyun a lesson. Unexpectedly, a vigorous aura suddenly bloomed from Chu Xingyun's body.
This vigorous aura caused Chu Hai's face to turn blank. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
