"Since there is nothing, let's go and go to the next house with the leader of the clan."
"yes."
…
Next, every time Chen Zangfeng went to an elder's house, he blurted out that Chen Shen was about to take part in the assessment.
When the elders heard this, they were all shocked. Especially the four elders who belonged to Chen Jinyang's faction were not only surprised, but also confused. They always felt that something was wrong.
However, Chen Zangfeng did not give these four people a chance to send the message to the Grand Elder's Mansion. He even forced these elders to join him and inform the next family.
Ever since, the "elder team" following Mr. Chen has grown stronger.
When this group of people finally arrived at the residence of the great elder Chen Jinyang, all the elders had already gathered.
Chen Zangfeng got straight to the point: "My grandson will take part in the assessment now. The other elders have already gathered. All I need is you, Chen Binyang, to start the exam right away."
"What? Chen Shen is going to take the assessment now?" When Chen Xiong and Chen Hu heard this, their faces were full of disbelief...
The two of them thought in unison: "Did that little beast get sick again? But that's not right... Even if he got sick himself, his grandpa wouldn't let him do whatever he wanted."
"Is there another secret in this?"
The great elder Chen Jinyang is also a suspicious insect at this moment.
His gray brows wrinkled slightly, and he subconsciously said: "Is this statement of the patriarch true? The assessment is a major matter, and you can't play with it."
"Sure enough, this old guy hesitated!"
As soon as Chen Zangfeng thought of this, he followed his grandson's instructions, smiled on his face, pretended to be embarrassed, and said: "This... the core disciple's breakthrough is naturally not a child's play. This clan leader is actually doing this.
I just want to put some pressure on him and make him nervous."
After hearing this explanation, Chen Jinyang's doubts suddenly disappeared. He smiled and said: "Haha, so the patriarch is actually trying to get an opportunity for your grandson to practice in advance?"
"Ahem... you can also say that."
Chen Zangfeng coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, and then continued:
"According to the clan rules, every clan member has three opportunities to test the core disciples before the age of sixteen. Shen'er has not taken the test once since he was so old. It shouldn't be a violation to use up one opportunity first, right?"
Mr. Chen's expression at this moment, his eyes were wandering and his head was half-down.
Perhaps due to nervousness, a pair of hands sometimes hugs the chest, sometimes holds behind the back.
He was three-quarters embarrassed, three-quarters embarrassed, three-quarters nervous, and one-quarter shy, and performed it extremely realistically!
However, only Chen Zangfeng himself knew that he was not "acting". His current state came from his heart.
Because, he is lying.
As an honest person who never lies, and a pure man with integrity and iron blood, he told a big lie in front of all the elders for the first time. Naturally, his expression and behavior were full of flaws.
However, in the eyes of Chen Jinyang and others, his flaws made them feel more at ease.
At the same time, I also want to believe that Chen Shen's assessment this time is really just a drill.
"Hahaha, it turns out that he wanted to hold a drill for his precious grandson. He probably didn't want other clan members to know about it, so he went door to door to privately interview the ten elders, right?"
Third Elder Chen Qiunan sneered in his heart.
"Hey, it turned out to be an unknown internal exercise. I was shocked. I thought Chen Shen was so awesome. In just half a day, he was sure to pass the review!"
Fifth Elder Chen Daoxin felt that he had a false alarm.
Chen Xin, the tenth elder and the only female elder of the Chen family, sighed in her heart at this moment: "It's really difficult for the patriarch to do this for his grandson. How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world! But I don't know,
Can Young Master Chen live up to his expectations?"
…
"Hehehe, it's rare for Mr. Chen to be so energetic, so I have no choice but to help him!" Chen Jinyang smiled brightly.
Of course he smiled brightly!
Because, a poisonous plot has spread in his heart: "However, the only orthodox direct lineage of our Chen family is going to pass the exam for core disciples. This is a big deal!"
Speaking of this, Chen Jinyang suddenly became angry and yelled: "Come here, notify the whole government immediately, and within a quarter of an hour, they all rush to the martial arts field to watch our Young Master Chen's battle!
"
"Chen Binyang, you, what are you doing? Didn't you agree to practice in private?" Chen Zangfeng was furious!
The anger at this moment is also genuine, not fake at all!
It turned out that Chen Shen had long expected that Chen Jinyang would make this dirty move.
At the beginning, this is what he said to Mr. Chen: "With Chen Jinyang's temperament, he wishes that our grandson and grandson would lose face and lose all dignity within the clan."
"So, the more you emphasize private exercises, the more likely he will make them known to everyone."
At that time, Chen Zangfeng was not convinced about this.
When he thought about it, Chen Jinyang, as the great elder, was also an old man in Chen Mansion.
Although he is usually a bit arrogant, his heart should still be towards the orthodoxy of the Chen family, right?
Besides, he is almost the most powerful person among the Chen family, so why do he need to do something absolutely unless he and his grandson are forced to step down?
But now, the great elder has proved Chen Shen's conjecture to be right with his own actions.
At the same time, it also proves that Chen Zangfeng's tolerance for the great elder has finally fed the white-eyed wolf!
Let me ask, how can he not be angry?
Mr. Chen was so angry that his whole body couldn't stop shaking. He was about to fight!
The other elders hurriedly tried to persuade him with words and words, and finally the anger in his heart calmed down a little.
At this time, Chen Jinyang said with a sinister smile: "Oh, oh, oh, patriarch, please don't be angry! I do this for the sake of Young Master Chen!"
"Don't you want to give him a drill? A drill can't just involve us bad old men. It has to be seen by all the clan members, so that Chen Shen's potential can be further stimulated, right?"
"Young people always need some pressure to be motivated, hahahaha..."
The great elder smiled very happily, as if he could have predicted that Chen Shen would be embarrassed in every possible way in front of all the clan members!
"After today, Chen Shen's status as the young master will definitely be controversial! And Chen Zangfeng's prestige as the head of the family will also fall to the bottom. Maybe in a fit of anger, he will never recover from it?"
"At that time, it won't be long before I will become the only person in charge of the Chen family both internally and externally."
"Then if we cooperate with King Huainan's secret operation, my status will rise as never before, hahahaha..."
Thinking of this, Chen Jinyang smiled more and more wildly, how could he say "happy"?
He took long, fashionable steps and walked towards the martial arts arena without looking back.
Behind him, the eldest son Chen Xiong and the younger son Chen Hu were also following their father with sneers on their faces. Judging from their expressions, they both wished that Chen Shen and his grandfather would be embarrassed together and be cast aside by the whole clan...
