Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 752: Chapter 748: Falling Out

”Sigh...” Chu Honglin sighed, ”This time, Liyang really took a big fall.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

Chu Honglin said, ”Xuan’er talks a lot, but he’s never been so harsh, let alone has any big conflict with Liyang.”

”Uncle, how do you know Third Brother and Second Brother don’t have a big conflict?”

”What conflict could they have?” Chu Honglin said, ”If there’s a conflict, it’s with your Eldest Brother, right?”

”Uncle, the subtlety in this is hard for outsiders to see clearly.”

”Then go ahead and tell me.”

”I can’t quite explain it either.” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”The feeling in this is very mysterious.”

”Is it true that Liyang has a woman outside who looks very much like the Twelfth Princess?”

”Yes.”

”Sigh... that foolish boy!” Chu Honglin lamented, ”How could it come to this!”

No wonder Elder Brother was so furious, erupting in thunderous anger; it’s really too degrading and lowering of status.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”I also wronged Third Brother. Originally, I thought he purely coveted the Twelfth Prince’s Divine Race bloodline, but now I realize he’s also enamored by her beauty.”

”Heh, it would have been better if it was just the Divine Race bloodline he coveted.”

”I actually think, such a Third Brother is a bit more personable.”

”Haha... personable? Haha!”

”Third Brother is gloomy all day, and no one knows what he’s thinking, but it turns out he’s so infatuated.”

”With Elder Brother scolding him like this, Liyang’s reputation has plummeted, unless his cultivation skyrockets, far surpassing Chu’er, otherwise...”

He shook his head at this point.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”This way, he can wholeheartedly focus on cultivation, which might not be a bad thing.”

”That is true.” Chu Honglin nodded, ”Putting aside all those distractions and focusing on cultivation will speed up progress.”

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly looked up towards the direction of True Martial Institute and smiled, ”Uncle, Third Brother and Second Brother are fighting.”

Chu Honglin frowned, ”Let’s go take a look.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”Uncle, you better not go over.”

Chu Honglin was puzzled.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Originally, it was just two brothers having a fight; from childhood to now, who knows how many times they fought. When Father finds out, he just scolds them, not taking it seriously. Uncle, if you see it, it will be troublesome.”

”...Right.” Chu Honglin nodded and hurriedly said, ”You go quickly and try to mediate.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile, ”It’s better that I don’t get involved either.”

Super Sensing Illumination is on a flat open space halfway up the Great Bright Peak.

This open space faces west, with a mountain wall blocking the east, the sunlight shining over.

On the hundred-square-meter area, three people stood.

Eldest Prince Chu Liechu, Second Prince Chu Lixuan, Third Prince Chu Liyang, and Fourth Prince Chu Liexi.

Chu Liechu and Chu Liexi stood aside, while Chu Lixuan and Chu Liyang were exhibiting the Great Brightness Fist, fighting intensely.

The fist seals formed by white light were flying in the air, colliding.

Both of their Great Brightness Fists were at the Divine Level, one at Fourth Transition, the other at Third Transition.

Chu Lixuan was one transition stronger, making the same Divine Level Great Brightness Fist two parts stronger in power.

When Chu Liyang’s fist seal collided with Chu Lixuan’s, it shattered immediately.

But after Chu Lixuan’s fist seal dispersed Chu Liyang’s, it was like a collapsing bow at the end of its strength and was shattered by another oncoming fist seal.

The force surged, making the clothing of Chu Liechu and Chu Liexi flutter in the wind.

Chu Liechu stood with a serious face, saying nothing.

Chu Liexi said softly, ”Elder Brother, why not advise Second Brother and Third Brother?”

”Advise them on what?” Chu Liechu said coldly, ”Let them fight. They’ll be fine once they’re tired.”

”Elder Brother, we’re no longer children; we can’t just move hands recklessly anymore.”

”No matter when, we’re always brothers. If you’re upset, just fight it out, it’s better to vent it out rather than keeping it inside!”

”But...”

”Once they’re done fighting today, they’ll make up tomorrow. There’s no grudge that brothers can’t get over.”

”...”

Chu Liexi had no words to reply with.

He shook his head silently.

As children, the brothers indeed harbored no grudges overnight. They would fight today and reconcile tomorrow.

But now it’s different. The older they get, the narrower their hearts become, more inclined to hold grudges.

After they finished fighting, tomorrow they’d only hate each other more, not reconcile.

Even if they reconciled, it would just be a facade; deep down, the hatred would persist.

Chu Liyang gritted his teeth, throwing punches, ”I didn’t expect you, Second Brother, to be such a despicable person!”

”How am I despicable?”

”Why did you report to Father!”

”I was happy to hear the news. Before, I thought you might not even like women, Third Brother. Father had such suspicions and worries too, so I informed Father about it. Who knew Father would get so furious.”

”Nonsense!”

”Third Brother, you’re making me out to be worse than I am. How could I think of so much!”

”Second Brother has a point.” Chu Liechu said gravely, ”He wouldn’t intentionally report you, Third Brother, stop making a fuss!”

”Elder Brother, don’t be biased, alright?!” Chu Liyang said discontentedly, gritting his teeth as he punched, ”He was deliberately trying to harm me!”

Chu Lixuan said, ”Is what I said false? A dignified prince sneaking around with a woman, it makes even me look bad!”

”Third Brother, I’m not biased, but he’s right. It’s just getting a woman, so what if you get one, what’s the big deal, no need for all the secrecy.”

”Elder Brother, I wasn’t being secretive,” Chu Liyang gritted his teeth resentfully, ”just not the right time yet!”

”When is the right time?” Chu Lixuan sneered, ”Isn’t it because you’re afraid people will find out she looks like the Twelfth Prince?”

”Nonsense!”

Chu Liyang flew into a rage, totally disregarding the fist seals, attacking furiously, firing one punch seal after another.

Their fist seals collided in the air, transforming into a surging power, becoming howling winds.

Some of the fist force landed on Chu Liyang’s body.

Chu Liexi said softly, ”Elder Brother, you should separate them. Don’t let them get seriously hurt.”

”Wait a little longer.” Chu Liechu shook his head, ”It’s not time yet.”

Chu Liexi looked at him helplessly.

Suddenly a flash of insight struck him, and he suddenly understood.

Chu Liechu was deliberately allowing them to fight seriously, making them enemies to each other.

Chu Liyang took several punches, suddenly shifting ten zhang away, spitting out a blood arrow.

Chu Lixuan stopped his Great Brightness Fist, shaking his head, ”Third Brother, we practice the Great Brightness Fist and Infinite Brightness Scripture, but our hearts are not righteous. How can we practice well?”

Chu Liyang staggered to the ground, clutching his chest, the corner of his mouth still bleeding.

Chu Lixuan’s realm was one transition higher, causing the same Divinity Transformation Level Great Brightness Fist to be more powerful.

If not for the Protective Treasure Clothes, Chu Liyang would be severely injured, or even dead by now.

The Divine Level Great Brightness Fist is astonishingly powerful.

Chu Lixuan said while folding his arms, ”Third Brother, my words end here, take care of yourself!”

Saying this, he turned to leave.

Chu Liyang gritted his teeth, ”Hold on!”

Chu Lixuan turned back, staring at him.

Chu Liyang slowly said, ”Was it Ninth Elder who stirred you up?”

”Ninth Elder?” Chu Lixuan laughed, ”Why would you say that? Why think of Ninth Elder?”

Chu Liyang said gravely, ”You’re a knife in his hand, yet you’re a Second Prince!”

Chu Zhiyuan was standing on Qingfeng Cliff.

Upon hearing this, he shook his head.

This tactic of sowing discord was futile; the key was the Second Prince’s intent to be a sharp blade.

As a Treasure Sword, there’s no need to overthink, just focus on cultivation.
