Chapter 52 Family Meeting

Perhaps because the days of joint trials of the four families are approaching, Qinghe Town has also become more lively than usual. There are often talk about the children of the four families, and everyone has their own favorite warriors in their hearts. In order to make others agree with their views, fierce debates can be heard from time to time in Qinghe Town.

Several large casinos in Qinghe Town have already opened, with various odds of winning rates, attracting many warriors to bet. It also became a hot spot for a while.

The discussion of the joint trial of the four families naturally cannot avoid the existence of the Chu family. Over the years, the power of the Chu family has begun to shrink, and its strength has obviously declined. This has also become the focus of people's discussion. Naturally, this kind of discussion after dinner is about Chu Xian, who is the seed player of the Chu family. For this teenager who is already a martial artist before the age of 16, many martial artists still appreciate it. However, more people are not optimistic about his achievements in this trial. After all, the seed players of the other three families are far stronger in strength and experience than the teenager who has just broken through the martial arts.

In the end, these comments gathered to the Chu family, who had not announced the five players for a long time. The joint trial of the four families has been a history for many years. Every trial, the list of players will be announced in advance, and then this time there was an unexpected situation.

At this time, there are still a few days before the joint trial, and the quota of the other three families has been determined, but the Chu family has not been announced yet. There are also rumors that the reason why the Chu family did not announce the quota this time is that there are conflicts within the Chu family and several elders compete for power and profits.

These remarks swept through Qinghe Town like a tide, immediately attracting the attention of all the martial artists, and everyone began to pay attention to it. For a while, huge pressure enveloped the sky above the Chu family.

Finally, under the pressure of the other three families and outsiders, Chu Tian, the head of the Chu family, stood up and announced that he would hold an internal family competition five days before the joint trial and selected five children to participate in the joint trial.

Chu Tian's words finally reassured the martial artists in Qinghe Town, and those extreme remarks also dissipated. However, compared with the calmness of the outside world, the Chu family is now surging in the dark tide.

Because of the strength suddenly shown by Chu Li, Chu Yi's power has been strengthened. Because of this incident of Chu Li's absence, he is completely opposed to Chu Xian, and the two sides have reached the point of tension.

"Brother, the head of the family and the elder called us to the hall for a meeting." Chu Zheng walked to Chu Yi and whispered.

"Um~" Chu Yi nodded slightly, but there was a trace of helplessness in his face, even going to the hall with Chu Zheng.

Through several corners, the two finally arrived at the hall. At this time, there were already many people in the hall, sitting in the top position. It seemed that the middle-aged man in his forties was the contemporary head of the Chu family, Chu Tian.

In his lower direction, the two elders sat on two imperial chaires, and on the side of the two, there were other family elders sitting, with two empty seats.

"Master." After Chu Yi and Chu Zheng arched their hands to the middle-aged man at the top, they sat down on the two empty seats.

After the middle-aged man at the top, he glanced at the crowd in the hall and slowly said, "Since everyone has arrived, let's start!"

"Wait!" As soon as Chu Zheng's words fell, Chu Yi immediately said.

Hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed in Chu Zheng's eyes and said, "What's the matter with the second elder?"

Chu Yi sneered, glanced at the old man on the left, and finally fell on Chu Xian behind him, saying, "I don't know when the family allowed underage warriors to enter the council hall?"

As soon as Chu Yi's words came out, the old man beside him couldn't help but change his face slightly. As soon as he was about to open his mouth, he was met by Chu Tian, who was at the top, saying, "Let's talk about this matter."

"The family has rules, but any adult warrior of the family who has reached the martial arts master can enter the council hall. Although Chu Xian is still a minor now, he is already a martial artist. After my consultation with the elders and the matter related to him, he is licensed to enter the hall." Chu Tian said lightly.

Hearing this, a trace of anger flashed in Chu Yi's expression. Anyway, he was also the second elder. He didn't know such an important thing beforehand! Isn't this embarrassing for him?

"We also had some negligence on this matter and didn't inform my second brother in time." The old man beside Chu Yi said lightly, but the look of the talking sword was not too respectful.

"Hum~" Chu Yi snorted coldly. He knew that this matter had become a fore, and even his opposition was of no use.

"Today, everyone is gathered for tomorrow's internal family test and the joint trial of the four families six days later." Chu Tian, who was on the top, said slowly.

"The situation of the family in recent years is also very clear that the power of the family is no longer than before. We have achieved extremely good results in this trial. Only in this way can we recover the family power from the taxation of Qinghe Town in the next five years." The old man on the right side of Chu Yi said in a low voice.

The joint trial of the four families not only has rich rewards, but also has great help. Most importantly, the trial results of the four families will determine the proportion of the family in the tax revenue of Qinghe Town in the next five years. In the last few trials of the four families, the achievements of the Chu family are not ideal. In addition, the power of the Chu family has been marginalized by other families in recent years, and the situation of the Chu family is not as good as before.

"So I decided that tomorrow's competition will take the recommended method, and five family children will be recommended by everyone here. If the children of other families are not convinced, they can challenge and the winner will get a place, which can save the greatest strength. I don't want to test in six days, so the seed players of the family Injured." Chu Tian, who was at the top, said slowly after meditating for a moment.

"I support the proposal of the landlord." As soon as Chu Tian's words fell, the elder next to Chu Yi said.

"I have no problem with it!" Three elders, Chu Fan said.

"We have no problem either." Immediately, the forces of the three elders and the elders chose to support Chu Tian's opinion, and only several elders on Chu Yi's side in the hall did not express their position.

"I have no problem with it!" After a long silence, Chu Yi nodded. Both the owner and Chu Fan agreed, and it was useless for him to object. Besides, this decision is indeed helpful for the family to compete for trial results. Even if Chu Yi wants to buy more time for Chu Li, it is still irrefutable.

Next, after everyone discussed again, about half an hour later, everyone dispersed.

"Brother, can Chu Li come back tomorrow?" On the way back, Chu Zheng looked quite helpless. Although he was also an elder, he was not a direct family member of the Chu family after all, and his power was limited. At the family meeting, his opinions often had no meaning.

"I don't know." Chu Yi shook his head with a wry smile. He had tried his best to delay Chu Li, and even did not hesitate to work with Chu Fan completely, but after all, the family was a family, not his words. In the end, he still had to agree to the family's arrangement.

"Chu Fan is spreading..." Chu Zheng secretly glanced at Chu Yi and said carefully.

"I know, isn't it just that Chuan Lier has died in the mountains?" Chu Yi smiled indifferently, and a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, "Only you know Li'er's situation. With his master this time, do you think a mountain can stop him?"

"That's true!" Hearing this, Chu Zheng's look suddenly became much more relaxed. Only the two of them know the situation of Chu Li's meridians, which can help martial artists who can't cultivate their power reach the level of seven-star Yuanli forging in just a few months. Such a character is definitely the existence they need to look up to. When Chu Li left, he told them that his strength was the seven stars of Yuanli forging. In fact, his strength was already the peak of the eight stars of Yuanli forging.
