I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

Chapter 1215 - 1215 I’ll Make Him Humble

1215 I’ll Make Him Humble

Chang Shenghong had never thought that Xu Feng would fail. He had even swore that he did not put Chu Yunfan in his eyes. However, reality had given him a hard slap. It made him understand that things were not that simple.

Unlike everyone’s righteous indignation, although Chu Xiujie’s face also revealed an ugly expression, he felt a lingering fear in his heart. This was because he knew very well that Xu Feng was much stronger than him.

Xu Feng had stepped into the third tier of the Divine Abilities Stage, and was still heavily injured by a single kick. It could be inferred how shocking Chu Yunfan’s strength was.

With his eyesight, it was not difficult to see that Xu Feng only had only one injury, and that was the injury from that kick. In other words, Chu Yunfan had only used one move from the beginning to the end, which was the most terrifying part.

!!
Previously, Chu Xiujie had tried to deal with Chu Yunfan time and time again, causing trouble for him. At first, he was very annoyed. Why was Chu Yunfan as slippery as a loach? He couldn’t seize the opportunity to teach him a lesson. But now, he suddenly felt very lucky.

If he had really angered Chu Yunfan before, he would have been crippled by a kick. His subordinate, Chu Yanghui, had been crippled by Chu Yunfan’s kick just like that.

Just thinking about it made him shudder.

At the same time, he began to hate Chu Yunfan. He clearly had such strength, but why didn’t he say anything? He even felt that everything he did was a joke in Chu Yunfan’s eyes.

It was as if Chu Yunfan saw him as a clown or a wild monkey. When Chu Xiujie thought of this, he was so angry that he went crazy. However, he had already realized that he was definitely not Chu Yunfan’s match. The only person he could rely on was his distant cousin, Chang Shenghong.

“Chu Yunfan, I will make you pay the price for this!” Chang Shenghong was furious.

“Changsheng, don’t be anxious. Isn’t there a banquet tomorrow? Wouldn’t it be better to defeat him at the banquet and embarrass him in public?” Chu Xiujie suggested.

“Tomorrow? That’s a good idea!” Chang Shenghong gritted his teeth.

Compared to defeating Chu Yunfan now, Chang Shenghong was more inclined to defeat Chu Yunfan at the banquet tomorrow.

“We’ll let him go for now. I’ll teach him a lesson tomorrow!” Chang Shenghong sneered.

As for whether this would make the marquis unhappy, he failed to consider it. Or rather, it didn’t matter because behind him stood Duke Ning. Even if he was only a junior duke, his status wouldn’t lose to the marquis. Therefore, he had nothing to be afraid of.

On the second day, the entire residence bustled. After the return of the marquis and the old madam, this was the first time a banquet was held. Everyone in the household, everyone who could be called by name, and hundreds of relatives related to them were all gathered here.

This was especially so since Junior Duke Ning and the other children of the nobility were joining the banquet.

However, before the start of the banquet, everyone had heard that this Chang Shenghong was not easy to deal with. He had just arrived at the residence and had already publicly interfered with the heir selection. Chu Hongcai and Chu Haoyu, the two originally popular candidates, had been severely injured by Xu Feng.

It was not a good feeling, especially when Chang Shenghong was so domineering. Except for Chu Xiujie and the others, everyone felt a little aggrieved.

It felt like an enemy was knocking on their door.

When the banquet started, Chu Yunfan and Chu Hongcai arrived together. However, when they were at the entrance, they were stopped by someone.

This person was none other than Chu Haoyu.

“Nice to meet you,” Chu Yunfan said that it was a pleasure to meet Chu Haoyu because he didn’t have much contact with Chu Haoyu so they weren’t well acquainted.

However, he had some doubts in his heart. Why was Chu Haoyu looking for him at this time?

Chu Haoyu didn’t look well at the moment. His face was pale. His injuries from the battle with Xu Feng hadn’t fully healed yet. After all, he wasn’t Chu Hongcai. With Chu Yunfan’s help, Chu Hongcai had fully recovered overnight.

However, Chu Haoyu was in the Divine Abilities Stage. Although he couldn’t be said to be fully recovered, he was more than half recovered. At least he didn’t have to lie in bed and could get up.

“What’s the matter?” Chu Yunfan went straight to the point.

Chu Haoyu looked at Chu Yunfan with a solemn expression. After a long time, he said, “Chu Yunfan, I plan to withdraw from the competition for the position of heir and help you get it.”

Even with Chu Yunfan’s willpower, he couldn’t help but be a little dazed. He felt that Chu Haoyu wasn’t the kind of person who would give up so easily.

“Why would you give up?”

Chu Yunfan wasn’t the one who said this. Chu Hongcai was.

Chu Haoyu smiled bitterly as he thought, ‘I originally thought that I was the most suitable person to become the heir. Whether it was Chu Hongcai or Chu Xiujie, I believed that I was not inferior. However, what happened yesterday made me completely understand that I’m far from qualified. Moreover, I was humiliated by Chang Shenghong. If I don’t take revenge, I swear that I’m not a human. And I believe the only one who can do this is Chu Yunfan! No matter what, even if it’s Chu Yunfan or Chu Hongcai, it can’t be Chu Xiujie!’

Chu Haoyu had thought it through very clearly. By now, he was probably already out of the competition. Chu Hongcai had Chu Yunfan backing him up, while Chu Xiujie had Chang Shenghong backing him up. No matter who won or lost, it would definitely not be his turn.

Chang Shenghong’s strength was far beyond his imagination. Coupled with the pressure of Duke Ning’s household, it was enough to make him collapse.

Not to mention that Chang Shenghong did not even need to make a move. Any one of his subordinates could easily defeat him.

Chu Haoyu and Chu Hongcai were the same. In Chu Yunfan’s words, they were both too short-sighted. Their vision was only limited to the small Marquis Zhongxin’s household. Now, with Chang Shenghong’s forceful intervention, he truly understood that he was too weak.

It had been very difficult for him to make this decision. He had worked hard for so many years. He was naturally unwilling to give up so easily, but he had to give in to reality. If Chu Yunfan and Chu Hongcai had the final victory, he could escape unscathed.

He didn’t have any deep conflicts with Chu Yunfan and Chu Hongcai, but if Chu Xiujie won in the end, he would probably lose his last foothold in Conglong City.

Under the pressure of reality, he didn’t have a choice.

Chu Hongcai was still immersed in shock, but Chu Yunfan had already figured it out. He immediately smiled and said, “I’m not interested in the position of marquis. You can assist Chu Hongcai. As for that Chang Shenghong, I’ll teach him a lesson.”
