Chapter 133 - 133: The Two Families Come Together and Promise an Alliance with the Chu Family
After the tea was served, the Chu Family Head smiled and said,””I’m afraid that the two of you didn’t come here just to see me, right?”
“Brother Chu is right.” Family Head Xu put down the teacup in his hand.” Family Head Chen and I are here for the Darksteel Mine.”
As expected.
The Chu Family Head’s mind moved, but his expression did not change.””! wonder how Patriarch Xu plans to split the shares of this Darksteel Mine?”
“My Xu family is not greedy. As long as we keep our original share, it’s fine. As for the Song family’s share, the Song family was destroyed by the Chen family, so the share should be transferred to the Chen family. “Xu Yingli said.
“Master Xu, you’re wrong.”
The Chu Family Head picked up the tea and leisurely took a sip. He then smiled and said,””Let’s talk about the Song family first. Everyone knows that the Song family was destroyed by the royal family and not the Chen family.”
“How can we give the Song family’s share to the Chen family?”
“As for the Xu family’s share, Brother Xu, it’s not that I’m being rude, but with the Xu family’s strength, is it worthy of so many shares?”
“Of course, my Chu Clan also wants to keep the Xu Clan’s share, but Brother Xu, you also know that my Chu Clan can’t make the decision.”
“Zuo Ling and You Ling are two families that are brothers.”
“The matter of splitting up the Song family and occupying the Xu family’s share was also proposed by these two families. Even if my Chu family wanted to, we couldn’t refute it.”
After hearing Master Chu’s words, Xu Yingli smiled and said,””Hahaha, Brother Chu, 1 thank you for your heartfelt words.”
“But today, my two families are not here to beg Brother Chu!”
As Xu Yingli finished speaking, the Xu family’s ancestor behind him removed his black robe and revealed his true appearance.
At the same time, it gave off a powerful aura that belonged only to Venerable Ning Dan.
“Old Ancestor Xu!”
The Chu Family Head’s eyes widened in shock, but he quickly calmed down.” Old Ancestor Xu is here. Please take a seat. My family’s old ancestor will be here soon. Please wait a moment.””
When Old Ancestor Xu heard this, he snorted coldly.” I’m not in a hurry. Call Chu Zhaotian over. 1 still want to ask him to explain the matter of him taking over my Xu family’s share.”
Then, Old Ancestor Xu sat on the chair and closed his eyes to rest. He looked like he didn’t want to talk to anyone.
Seeing this, the Chu Family Head hurriedly waved his hand. Immediately, the Chu Clan’s First Elder rushed over and listened for a moment before hurriedly leaving.
Not long after, the ancestor of the Chu Family arrived.
“Hahaha, Ancestor Xu, please forgive me for my rudeness.”The ancestor of the Chu Family, Chu Zhaotian, cupped his hands and bowed to the ancestor of the Xu Family.
Old Ancestor Xu opened his eyes and glanced at Chu Zhaotian.” Old Ancestor Zhaotian is here.””
When Chu Zhaotian heard this, he waved his hand repeatedly.” Aiyo, you call me Old Ancestor. It’s so embarrassing.””
Old Ancestor Xu was someone who competed with Chu Zhaotian’s grandfather’s generation. Although Chu Zhaotian was not young anymore, he still did not dare to call himself Old Ancestor Xu.
“You? 1 don’t dare. I’m just an old and withered tree. Half of my body is buried in the ground. Otherwise, how dare you encroach on my Xu family’s share?”01d Ancestor Xu’s expression was unfriendly.
Chu Zhaotian narrowed his eyes. It was indeed about the quota.
Immediately, Chu Zhaotian poured a cup of tea for Old Ancestor Xu and brought it to Old Ancestor Xu.” Old Ancestor Xu, this matter is not something our Chu family can control.”
Old Ancestor Xu looked up at Chu Zhaotian and took the tea from him.
“Zhao Tian, this old man is here for my Xu family’s share. Is your Chu family willing to help?”
When Chu Zhaotian heard this, his eyes flashed with evasiveness.
In the end, the Chu Clan would benefit from splitting the Xu Clan’s share. Chu Zhaotian was naturally unwilling to give away so many spirit stones.
” Hmph!” Old Ancestor Xu harrumphed.” It seems that Old Ancestor Zhao Tian is unwilling to give me face.””
Cold sweat broke out on Chu Zhaotian’s forehead.
The Xu family’s ancestor was about to die. If he didn’t listen to him at this time, he would really be forced into a desperate fight with him. Who could bear that?
Forget it, forget it. 1’11 put up with the Xu family for a few years. After that old fart of the Xu family dies, 1’11 take over the Xu family’s share.
In any case, there were still quite a lot of these mineral veins. The five great clans had only mined half of them for hundreds of years.
He could still afford to wait for more than ten years.
Chu Zhaotian laughed and said,” Alright, since Ancestor Xu is begging, then my Chu Clan will give you face.””
“My Chu Clan doesn’t agree to splitting the Xu Clan’s shares. As for the remaining two, I’m afraid you’ll have to personally talk to them.”
“You don’t have to worry about this. I will handle it myself.”Old Ancestor Xu said.
“Yes, my Chu Clan agrees.” Chu Zhaotian nodded.
Old Ancestor Xu smiled in satisfaction and continued,”As for the Song family’s share, logically speaking, it should belong to the Chen family. The Chu family doesn’t have any objections, right?”
“This…”
Chu Zhaotian was a little hesitant. It would be a lie to say that he had no objections. After all, who would want to spit out the meat that was in their mouths?
“Why? Is there a problem?” Old Ancestor Xu looked at Chu Zhaotian.
When Chu Zhaotian heard this, he braced himself and said,””Of course there is a problem. I can give face to Old Ancestor Xu and not encroach on the Xu family’s share.”
“As for the matters of the Song family, it’s best if Ancestor Xu doesn’t interfere.”
“After all, compared to the Song family’s share, invading the Xu family is nothing. However, if they were to give up the Song family’s share, the three aristocratic families would probably not be willing.”
“I’m afraid I can’t give this face to Old Ancestor Xu.”
Hearing Chu Zhaotian’s words, Old Ancestor Xu was immediately furious. However, just as he was about to say something, he saw Chen Yang stand up and walk in front of Chu Zhaotian.
Seeing this, Old Ancestor Xu remained silent, planning to see how Yang Chen would deal with it.
“Chen Yang greets Venerable Ning Dan.” Arriving beside Chu Zhaotian, Chen Yang cupped his hands and bowed.
Chu Zhaotian quickly helped Chen Yang up.” You must be Chen Yang. There’s no need to be so polite.” 1 wonder if the Chen clan leader has any brilliant ideas?”
“I don’t dare to be so wise.” Yang Chen smiled,”! just have some humble opinions. Please give me some suggestions, Ancestor Chu.””
“Please speak, Chen Clan Leader.”
“Since that’s the case, then I’ll say it for the time being.
Zuo Ling and You Ling had always been in cahoots with each other. However, could the Chu Clan withstand the pressure from the two clans?”
“If the Chu Clan agrees to give the Song Clan’s share to the Chen Clan, then the Chen, Xu, and Chu Clans will form an alliance. At that time, it won’t be the other two clans that will take over the Chu Clan’s share, but us.”Yang Chen smiled.
Chu Zhaotian thought for a moment and smiled.””What the Chen Clan Leader said is true, but why didn’t 1 form an alliance with those two clans? Why did I form an alliance with the exhausted Xu Clan and the Rank-9 Chen Clan?”
“Because it’s easy to add flowers to the flowers, but it’s difficult to send charcoal in the snow. With the current situation of those two clans, wouldn’t the Chu Clan feel that it was a little too much to curry favor with them by forming an alliance?”
“Even if others don’t say it, won’t the other two think the same?”Yang Chen smiled at Chu Zhaotian.
Hearing Yang Chen’s words, Chu Zhaotian was tempted.
If he were in his shoes, Chu Zhaotian wouldn’t care about this kind of family fawning over him.
“But with just Ancestor Xu and me, I’m afraid we can’t make those two bow their heads.
After all, if a conflict broke out, he might be able to stall Yi Ningdan.
However, in Patriarch Xu’s current state, if he didn’t fight with his life, it would probably be very difficult for him to hold back the other Exalted Core Formation cultivator.”Chu Zhaotian sighed.
Chu Zhaotian’s words were true, and even Old Ancestor Xu tacitly agreed.
Now, it was time to see if the Chen family could bring out experts to help Ancestor Xu fight against another Core Formation cultivator.
Seeing this, Yang Chen released the puppet.
Following Yang Chen’s order, the puppet took a step forward and emitted the aura of an early stage Core Formation cultivator.
“This… This was a Core Formation realm puppet! It’s equivalent to a grade six spirit weapon!” Chu Zhaotian was shocked.
Old Ancestor Xu and Xu Yingli were also stunned on the spot. They had thought that the Chen family might have hidden a Core Formation realm combat strength. After all, with the support of the Deshun Commandery Prince, it would not be a problem for them to send a Core Formation realm cultivator.
However, no one would have thought that the hidden Core Formation realm combat strength of the Chen family was actually a puppet!
Even Chen Yang’s master, the number one person in the Great Qian Purple Mansion, the Deshun Commandery Prince, might not have a puppet.
“Ancestor Chu, can you stop a Core Formation cultivator?”Yang Chen smiled at Chu Zhaotian.
Chu Zhaotian woke up from his shock and looked at Chen Yang with a complicated expression.. He then smiled and said,”With the help of this puppet, we can accomplish great things!”
