Ren Zhengji said: "In the past, our consistent strategy was to let the Chu family fight within themselves, but under the current circumstances, this strategy is obviously no longer appropriate."
Lin Lingxian said quietly: "Why is it inappropriate?"
Ren Zhengji continued: "No matter what the strategy is, the purpose is of course to maximize the interests of our family. In the past, when we wanted to divide the Chu family and weaken their strength, it was just to control the ancient martial arts alliance..."
His eyes swept across the faces of the other people: "But now, some of you feel that if the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance is in our hands, will it really bring us more benefits?"
Lin Lingxian frowned.
Ye Huchen knocked the pipe in his hand into the metal ashtray in front of him and said: "To put it bluntly, I think the ancient martial arts alliance can only bring us more in the hands of Chu Xidao and Chu Tianshu and his son.
the benefits of."
Ren Zhengji emphasized: "To be precise, Chu Tianshu can bring us more benefits."
Speaking of this, Ren Zhengji showed a happy smile on his face: "Quanzi Changfeng has been naughty since he was a child, and he had some minor conflicts with Chu Tianshu before, but he corrected his position in time and with Chu Tianshu
He followed Chu Tianshu's lead and followed Chu Tianshu on a trip to the Mountains of Ten Thousand Miles, and he actually broke through to the peak of the Transformation Realm, which was beyond my expectation."
He looked at Ye Huchen: "Mr. Ye, as far as I know, your Shaoliu has reached the peak of his realm, right?"
Ye Huchen nodded, also smiling.
Ren Zhengji looked at Liu Yuting again: "Even your Ruyan has broken through to the transformation state."
Lin Lingxian's expression was complicated, as if his five-flavor bottle had been knocked over.
Ren Zhengji continued: "Isn't this enough to explain the problem?
I believe that as long as we firmly support Chu Xidao and Chu Tianshu’s absolute status in the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance and follow their father and son, we will only gain more in the future.”
Lin Lingxian said in a faint tone: "You have all benefited, but what have we, the Lin family, gained?"
"Who can you blame?"
Ren Zhengji's lips curled up, "It's only my fault that your Lin family offended Chu Tianshu too hard before."
Ye Huchen said: "Isn't there a girl in your Lin family who has a good relationship with that boy? Wouldn't that be a good breakthrough?"
Lin Lingxian said with an ugly expression: "Do we, the Lin family, have to rely on a stepdaughter who is not named Lin for important matters?"
Ye Huchen asked back: "Then do you have a better way now?"
Lin Lingxian was speechless.
Ren Zhengji said meaningfully: "Things are not out of control now. Brother Lin must step back from the cliff and wake up in time to avoid missing out on more in the future."
When he said this, he also glanced at Liu Yuting with meaning.
"Anyway..."
Ren Zhengji looked at the other three people and said loudly: "Our Ren family is ready to put all our hopes on Chu Tianshu. I wonder what you mean?"
Ye Huchen echoed: "The Ye family also made the same decision."
Liu Yuting said expressionlessly: "The same goes for the Liu family."
Then, the three people all looked at Lin Lingxian.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lin Lingxian said angrily: "Of course I made the same decision as you, do you still want to isolate me?"
The four people looked at each other and laughed.
After a while, Ye Huchen sighed: "It's embarrassing to say that among the five major families in the north, except for the Chu family, our four families don't even have a Xuanjing member. We are simply unworthy of the name of the five major families."
Hearing this, Ren Zhengji and the other two fell silent.
Liu Yuting's gray eyebrows condensed together: "You can't blame us for this. The spiritual energy in the north has never been as strong as other places. Who made us unlucky enough to end up in such a place?"
Lin Lingxian also frowned: "But what is the reason for this?
Why is the spiritual energy in our northern region not as good as other places?"
Ren Zhengji said: "This is what I have always wondered about. As the capital of the former dynasty, our Beidu should not be worse than other places."
Ye Huchen said in a deep voice: "The Chu family must know something about this issue, but it's a pity that the dead old woman is too tight-lipped."
Just as he was talking, Ye Shaozheng walked in from outside, leaned over and whispered a few words in Ye Huchen's ear.
Liu Yuting said with some dissatisfaction: "Is there any secret that we cannot hear?"
"It's not a secret."
Ye Huchen stood up and said: "The old woman of the Chu family has gone crazy and is planning to use family methods against Chu Tianshu in the Chu family ancestral hall."
Ren Zhengji hurriedly said: "Then what should we do?
Do you need to go take a look?"
Lin Lingxian said: "Since it is a matter of family law, it is the internal affairs of the Chu family. It is not easy for us to get involved."
Ye Huchen said: "Whether you want to get involved or not is one thing, but whether you have made your position clear is another."
Ren Zhengji nodded in agreement: "Uncle Ye is right."
Liu Yuting stood up and said, "Then let's go and take a look. I'm a little curious about Chu Xidao's attitude."
The ancestral hall of the Chu family is majestic.
After arriving at the ancestral hall, the old lady took Chu Xichao and others inside to burn incense, leaving Chu Xidao and Chu Tianshu and his son outside to hang out.
With the scorching sun above his head, Chu Xidao stood there respectfully, with no trace of displeasure on his face.
Chu Tianshu stood with Chu Xidao for a few minutes and then said, "Are we just standing here stupidly?"
Chu Xidao smiled bitterly and said: "How can you stand there stupidly?
Your grandmother will ask us in soon."
Chu Tianshu shrugged: "Go in and let me get whipped?"
Chu Xidao said: "I will explain it to you. Your grandmother is not such an unreasonable person."
"Yeah?"
Chu Tianshu smiled playfully, "I don't see how she is reasonable."
Chu Xidao made a shushing gesture: "Keep your voice down so that your grandmother can hear you. You really have no respect for your elders."
Chu Tianshu said: "Sometimes I really doubt whether you are her biological child."
Chu Xidao glared at Chu Tianshu, feigning anger and said: "You kid, the more you talk, the more outrageous you become."
Chu Tianshu shrugged and walked to a shady place not far away.
He came under the tree, took out a cigarette, lit it, and puffed away leisurely.
After a while, Chu Xidao also came over, stretched out his hand towards Chu Tianshu, and said angrily: "I don't want to give you one for smoking?
Is there anyone who treats you like a son?"
Chu Tianshu took out a cigarette and gave it to Chu Xidao, then took out a lighter and helped Chu Xidao light the cigarette.
The father and son were standing under the shade of a tree, both with their arms folded and smoking in the same gesture.
At this time, the old woman in black came out of the ancestral hall, stared at Chu Tianshu with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Come in."
