My Mother-in-Law Gifted Me a Building

”Young Master, are you telling the truth? The Ancestor will be thrilled to hear this!” Chu He said happily.

He hadn’t expected that Chu Feng would actually agree.

He had already given up hope and never imagined Chu Feng would agree so readily.

”Don’t call me Young Master anymore. If you do, I’ll beat you up. Just call me by my name,” Chu Feng said, looking displeased.

”But, Young Master...” Chu He hesitated.

”Cut the crap. Call me that again and I’ll beat you,” Chu Feng said bluntly. ”I have no desire to be your Young Master or Patriarch, so don’t bring it up again. Now, hurry up and tell me the time.”

”The eighth of next month, in Xixiang City, at Wangyue Tower. It’s about twenty days from now. The family has already sent people to make preparations.”

”Although this is an opportunity to recruit agents, we expect many people will come looking for trouble. After all, the Chu Family’s return will conflict with the interests of some other Martial Arts Clans.”

By telling Chu Feng this, Chu He’s intentions were already clear.

At this so-called agent conference, people would definitely be looking to pick a fight, wanting to test the Chu Family’s strength.

After all, the Chu Family had been in seclusion for decades. Many Martial Arts Families wanted to gauge just how much strength they still had.

”If people come looking for trouble, you solve it yourselves. I’m not going to be your hired muscle,” Chu Feng said bluntly.

Of course, he understood the other party’s meaning. ’They just want me to intimidate everyone and save face for the Chu Family at a critical moment.’

”Young Master, you can rest assured. Although our Chu Family suffered a setback back then, we have spent many years recuperating. Our strength isn’t that far behind other families,” said Chu He.

”Tch, more bragging. If you were all so great, how did you get beaten into seclusion for decades? If you’re scared of dying, just admit it. Stop making so many excuses. Cut the crap and get lost. I’ll go on my own when the time comes,” Chu Feng said, rolling his eyes.

”Young Master, why don’t we travel together? We can just stay in the county town for now,” said Chu He.

”No, no. I know how to get to Wangyue Tower myself,” Chu Feng said.

”We’ll wait for you in the county town, Young Master. Otherwise, we won’t be able to answer to the Ancestor,” Chu He insisted.

”Suit yourselves. I’m done wasting my breath on you. I’m going home to eat. You guys can do whatever you want.” With that, Chu Feng turned and left.

”Uncle He, that Chu Feng wants nothing to do with us. What are we supposed to do?” At that moment, one of the young men beside Chu He spoke up.

They had been putting up with this for days and were starting to lose their patience.

They might have admired Chu Feng, but his attitude was really starting to piss them off.

”If you had his talent and strength, you could act like this too,” Chu He said with a smile. ”Now, enough complaining. Let’s head back to the county and find something to eat. I’ll treat you all to a good meal.”

”Sigh... if only we were that powerful,” the young men said, full of envy.

Especially when even the Ancestor was so polite to him. Who wouldn’t be envious of that?

There was no comparison to their own treatment. They had to run errands and endure scoldings.

”Hahaha, then you’d better work harder. Forget about being as powerful as him—if you had just one-third, no, even one-fifth of his strength, the family would value you immensely,” Chu He said with a laugh.

After all, Chu Feng was truly in the spotlight.

Even the Ancestor held him in high regard, and the Patriarch himself had declared him the Young Master of the Chu Family, the future Patriarch. Such treatment was unprecedented.

”Reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm before thirty... He’s just too powerful. It’s like something out of a dream. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have never believed it,” one of them lamented.

After all, Chu Wushuang, who was once hailed as the Chu Family’s number one prodigy, was only in the Qi Cultivation Realm. He paled in comparison to Chu Feng.

”Isn’t the proof right in front of you? Don’t assume something is impossible just because no one has done it before. And don’t make excuses on your own path of cultivation,” said Chu He.

In truth, if you had to ask who in the Chu Family was the most frustrated, it would have to be Chu Wushuang.

He had been the Chu Family’s number one prodigy, but then Chu Feng appeared out of nowhere and completely overshadowed him.

And now, he’d been assigned to go to Wangyue Tower ahead of time to prepare the venue.

The place was only twenty or thirty kilometers from Xixiang City, still within the Chu Family’s sphere of influence.

”Brother Wushuang, I heard Brother Chu Feng is coming to the conference, too?” a Chu Family disciple asked Chu Wushuang at the base of Wangyue Tower.

”I suppose he’ll be here. Why?” Chu Wushuang replied.

Although Chu Wushuang had lost to Chu Feng, he was still one of the strongest among the younger generation. He was tall, well-built, and had a good temperament.

That was why the Chu Family had sent him. He had real strength and could hold his own, which made him suitable for the task.

If Chu Feng had never appeared, he would certainly have been the next Patriarch of the Chu Family.
