C185 uninvited guest
This was the confidence a father had in his son.
"The sky is wide, is the matter not settled yet? Let's drink some tea first! "
Just as the father and son were happily chatting, a woman came in with a cup of hot tea.
"Aunt Ran?"
Seeing this woman, Chu Yun was first shocked, but then he could not help but laugh out loud: "Aunt Ran is so considerate, did you personally brew this for my father? "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk …"
"Chu Yun?"
Jing Ran was very surprised, as she did not expect Chu Yun to return. She immediately put down the teacup in her hand, and somewhat embarrassedly shook her hand, as she rolled her eyes at Chu Tiankuo: "You didn't tell me in advance that Chu Yun would return, I need to make more cups of tea!"
"Aunt Ran, you don't need to be busy. Take a seat."
Chu Yun turned his head to glance at Chu Tiankuo, and he clearly knew in his heart that his father should have accepted the pursuit of Aunt Ran. This was good as well. In the future, his father wouldn't need to be so tired. No matter what he did, there would always be someone to share the burden with.
"Cough, cough." Your Aunt Ran has usually helped me a lot in the family, and she hasn't even gone back to the sect for a few visits. "
Chu Tiankuo coughed dryly. Although he did not say it directly, his meaning was very clear. Jing Ran was with him now.
Regarding this, Chu Yun himself had no objections.
Ever since his mother had left, his father had been alone and hadn't remarried. He hadn't even taken in a concubine yet. This also resulted in him having a son like himself who was cultivating outside. There was no one at home to accompany him, and there was no one to help him solve his problems.
Aunt Ran was a nice person and had a good personality. She had already known her father for a long time. Being together with him could be said to be a blessing in disguise.
"Chu Yun, it should be almost time for the Great Sect Ranking Tournament, right?"
Jing Ran generously sat down and asked.
"Mm. I was just about to rush back to the sect's competition, but I didn't expect to run into a beast tide, so I hurried home."
Chu Yun nodded.
"I remember that before I brought you into the sect, I especially told you that our sect master was a very strong woman. Not only was she young, she was also very strong and ambitious. Chu Yun, how are you doing in the sect during this period of time? In the sect's ranking tournament, will you represent the sect in participating? "
Jing Ran smiled slightly.
In the eyes of others, hoping for a disciple who hadn't even been in the sect for two years to participate in a heavyweight competition like the Great Sect Ranking Tournament was simply absurd, but Jing Ran knew that Chu Yun possessed the strength to do so!
The sect ranking competition had very clear rules. Excluding the only seeded participant, each sect had to choose another four disciples, a total of five.
Jing Ran did not extravagantly hope for Chu Yun to obtain a seeded participant slot, but with his innate talent, he should be able to occupy one of the other four slots, so he should be able to represent Tian Dao Sect to participate in the Great Sect Ranking Tournament, right?
"Yes, and as a seeded contestant, I'm under a lot of pressure."
Chu Yun shook his head and sighed.
Jing Ran was startled and couldn't react for a long time. "What did you say? You, you are a seeded contestant? Isn't the entry on Yu Hang? How did you get it? "
Chu Yun shrugged his shoulders and replied calmly: "I snatched it away. I asked Yu Hang for the seeded participant spot, he didn't agree. "If you don't agree, then I will call until he agrees."
"Yu Hang is the number one core disciple. How could you be his opponent?"
It was clear that Jing Ran had not returned to the Tian Dao Sect for a long time, so she did not know about these things that everyone knew.
"The number one core disciple? He used to be, but he's not. "
Chu Yun smiled very confidently. In the current Tian Dao Sect, besides himself, there was no one else who would dare to claim to be the number one core disciple.
Even Third Young Master Xiao Tianchen of the Xiao family, one of the Four Major Clans did not dare!
"How did you improve so quickly?"
Jing Ran was completely dumbstruck. She had stayed in the Tian Dao Sect for so long, but she had never seen someone with such a subversive impression.
"Is fast improvement also a sin?"
Chu Yun faintly sighed.
"Hahahaha, this is my son, of course he's not ordinary!"
Chu Tiankuo took a sip of the hot tea, and said with unspeakable pride: "Yun'er is about to rise to Genuine Force now, and in the entire Da Xia Empire, he is definitely the number one genius. I never thought that I, Chu Tiankuo's son, would be so promising.
Jing Ran unhappily rolled her eyes at Chu Tiankuo, and stood up: "You two continue chatting, I'll send someone to prepare some food and wine. Chu Yun, you haven't returned home for a long time, you should drink more with your father tonight. After resting for a day, we will set out for Tian Dao Sect tomorrow! "
"Alright!"
Chu Yun nodded in agreement.
After making sure that the beast tide had not affected the entire clan, Chu Yun felt much more at ease. Aunt Ran was right, she would accompany her father to have a good drink tonight, and after resting for a night, they would set off for Tian Dao Sect the next day.
Night descended, and the Chu Clan arranged a banquet, it was extremely lively.
The courtyard was filled with tables and chairs filled with food and wine, all prepared for Chu Yun.
Chu Tiankuo, Chu Yun, Jing Ran, as well as Chu Yun's grandfather, Chu Chen and the rest sat at the same table, talking and laughing with each other.
Ever since Chu Yun killed Chu Zhoushan and Chu Qingya the day the branch families gathered, the Chu Family's internal affairs had all become as hard as steel. Even Old Man Chu's mood improved greatly.
"With this goblet of wine, I wish Yun'er an early promotion to the Genuine Force, and lead my Chu Family to open a glorious chapter!"
Old Man Chu raised his wine cup as he arrogantly shouted out.
Although he had abdicated the throne for a long time, in everyone's eyes, his prestige was no less than Chu Tiankuo's.
"Alright!"
"Well said!"
The surrounding Chu Clan members all laughed, raising their heads to drink the wine.
Chu Yun's heart surged as he too drank a cup.
"I shall toast the second goblet of wine!"
Chu Tiankuo smiled and stood up. He swept his gaze across everyone around him, and in the end, brought his wine cup to Jing Ran: "If it wasn't for little sister Ran recruiting Yun'er into the Tian Dao Sect that day, there wouldn't have been a series of incidents behind this!"
Being toasted in front of everyone, Jing Ran's face was slightly red, but she still agreed to it openly.
"Madam, have another drink!"
"Madam, good alcohol capacity!"
The surrounding people started to jeer once again, directly calling Jing Ran Madam. This was somewhat unexpected for her.
Even though a majority of the Chu Clan members knew her identity, this was the first time they had heard of the term 'Madam'.
Jing Ran secretly turned her head to look at Chu Tiankuo and, wanting to see their reaction.
Chu Tiankuo's face was unperturbed, as if he felt that there was nothing wrong with this form of address.
Chu Yun also had a smile on his lips, he was happy to see such a thing.
"Who's the head of the Chu family? Come out!"
Just when the atmosphere was about to reach its peak, a rude clamor suddenly came from outside.
The warm atmosphere suddenly froze, Chu Yun's brows tightly knitted together, just who was so blind to speak at such a time and disturb him? And his tone was so arrogant!
"Allow me to go out and take a look."
Chu Tiankuo indifferently put down his wine cup and stood up to leave.
"Father, I'll go with you."
Chu Yun was afraid that someone outside would cause trouble, so he followed closely behind him.
Outside the gate of the clan stood a few tall and big horses, wearing armor, arrogant and proud men. Their brows were glinting with a cold light, and sabers were at their waists. They were emitting a murderous aura; they were obviously generals who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
"I am the Chu Tiankuo of the Chu Family, what business do you have with me?"
Chu Tiankuo held his hands behind his back, looked at the few people and said indifferently.
"You are Chu Tiankuo?"
A few people mounted on horses, looked down at Chu Tiankuo condescendingly.
The leader sneered and said word by word, "It's so lively to eat and drink." Do you know who led the soldiers to sweep the vicinity of the demon beasts, to ensure the safety of your side? Let me tell you, it's King Zhao! Now, when the King of Zhao arrived at the city gates, he was completely exhausted. It was one thing for you all to leave the city, but now you are actually eating and drinking in the clan. How despicable. If it were not for King Zhao sweeping away the nearby beasts, would you all still be able to sit here and enjoy life in peace? "
"That's right, there are piles after piles of refugees outside. You don't even have enough to eat, yet you all are here indulging yourselves in extravagance and lust! You really deserve to die! "
The other high-ranking officer also sneered.
"King Zhao?"
Chu Yun felt that this name was a little familiar, but he couldn't immediately remember who it was.
"I naturally admire Zhao Wang's leadership in exterminating the demon beasts. Since we're already outside the city, why not come in and have a few drinks?" I will also offer you some thin gifts to thank you all for your efforts. "
Chu Tiankuo sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he gave his face.
Leading soldiers to get rid of the demon beasts?
F * ck you!
The smallest monster tide had at least thousands of demon beasts. If you kept charging, you would be stomped into mincemeat before even meeting face to face!
Besides, the demon beast horde has passed. Now, you are leading soldiers to clear out the demon beasts all over the place.
Clearing out the demon beasts was fake, robbing around and robbing them was the real thing!
As for the refugees, Chu Tiankuo had a clear conscience!
He took out a large amount of silver taels to buy food for the refugees in the city to eat. As long as they had hands and feet, they would be able to arrange things so that they wouldn't starve to death. As for those with some strength, they could even join the Chu family's guards and they would have a fixed amount of cultivation resources every month.
Logically speaking, these things should be settled by the Da Xia Emperor, but not only did Chu Tiankuo do it, he did it beautifully.
Therefore, Chu Tiankuo scoffed at their accusations.
But since the other party was a prince with a different surname, Chu Tiankuo still retained some respect for him.
"Hmph."
A few generals sneered and one of them immediately turned around to ride his horse out of the city.
Not long after that, over a hundred armored soldiers walked over with a grand demeanor. Even from far away, one could still feel the killing intent coming off of them.
The leader was a middle-aged man. He was riding a spotless snow-white horse. He wore a golden robe and wore pointed boots. He didn't have any expression on his face.
