C22 Find out Who You Are
The one month long trial had finally ended. The third elder's Profound Bead had once again turned into a huge flying boat, carrying everyone and flying for seven days, returning to the Shenjing's territory.
The flying boat slowly landed on the wide open ground in front of the Chu Clan.
The three elders brought the disciples of the trial down the flying boat. The ones who came up to welcome them were Chief Steward, Chu Pingzhong, Second Manager Chu Min and Third Manager Chu Baiqiang.
The three of them were all Chu Zhe's attendants. After Chu Zhe inherited the position of Duke of Zhenguo, the three stewards appointed as Chu Clan were all Chu Zhe's trusted aides.
The three attendants stepped forward and bowed to the three elders. Chu Pingzhong was tall and thin, with a rigid face, he said solemnly, "Three elders, thank you for your hard work. The family head and the elders are already waiting in the main room."
The three elders nodded in acknowledgement. As they were about to move forward, the Third Manager, Chu Baiqiang, stepped forward and stopped Chu Liyue, who was standing behind the three elders.
Chu Baiqiang was not tall, and his body was slightly fat. His usually smiling face was now as cold and hard as stone, "You can't enter Ancestral Peak unless you're a cultivator."
Chu Liyue, who was carrying the Black Tiger, raised her head and looked at Chu Baiqiang.
This manager was a person who would burst into laughter the moment he saw the original owner. He would rather lie on the ground and lick the bottom of the original owner's boots.
Chu Lu had died, and after Chu Zhe had ascended to the position, Chu Baiqiang became a lot more reserved when he saw the original owner.
Now that he knew that he had lost his Cultivation Level, he simply revealed his true colors.
"What are you looking at?" Chu Baiqiang shouted at Chu Liyue, "If it weren't for Lord Warlord, I would have ripped your eyes off if you were being so rude to a cultivator!"
Even if Chu Liyue had a calm personality, after hearing his words, she had the urge to step forward and slap him in the face.
Her eyes were like snow as they coldly swept over him. Chu Baiqiang felt a chill all over his body.
After a slight pause, Chu Baiqiang became even more infuriated. This girl wasn't a treasure in Lord Warlord's grasp right now, and she wasn't a genius with rare Chu Clan. She wasn't anything much right now, so what was there to be afraid of?
"You still dare to be arrogant?" Chu Baiqiang took a step forward, "You think you're still the young miss? Chu Liyue, let me remind you, you better know your own identity. You're just a piece of trash now! Trash! "Trash!"
While yelling "trash", he stretched out a thick and fat finger and pointed at Chu Liyue's forehead.
Chu Liyuexiu knitted her brows, her long legs hidden under the moon-white robe suddenly raising up to her head and hacking down viciously!
Chu Baiqiang never thought that Chu Liyue would still dare to attack him. After being struck by the blow, she screamed miserably and fell forward.
Since she had already made her move, Chu Liyue would no longer show any mercy.
She held the Black Tiger and kicked with her other foot. Before Chu Baiqiang could pounce on the ground, she kicked him right in the chest, sending him flying.
Chu Baiqiang's short and stocky body drew an arc in the air before heavily landing on the bluestone floor.
The blood that dripped down followed his flight trajectory, splattering a crimson passageway.
Chu Baiqiang was already unconscious, spitting blood from his mouth.
All of this happened too fast. In just a split-second, Chu Baiqiang was beaten unconscious on the ground by Chu Liyue.
Vice Supervisor Chu Min was handsome and had a scholarly air to her. He shook his head and clicked his tongue in admiration, but didn't say a word.
Chu Baiqiang was already Chu Pingzhong's person so he would never stand up for him.
The reason why Chu Baiqiang openly humiliated and provoked Chu Liyue, wasn't it because he got the approval of Chu Pingzhong? Wasn't what Chu Pingzhong did, was it just to win his favor?
Now that she was given a hard lesson and humiliated by Chu Liyue, Chu Min could only gloat in her heart.
It was extremely pleasant to see the shocked and angry expression on Chu Pingzhong's dead face.
Chu Pingzhong originally wanted Chu Baiqiang to step out and stop Chu Liyue.
As Chu Zhe's number one confidant, he clearly knew that Chu Mingyue had been ordered to plot against Chu Liyue.
She had originally thought that Chu Liyue would die if she fell off the cliff, but who knew that even though she didn't have a Cultivation Level, she had still come back alive. If Chu Liyue saw Chu Zhe and exposed the truth of Chu Mingyue secretly assassinating her in front of all the elders, asking Chu Zhe to uphold justice for her, Chu Zhe would be in a difficult position.
After all, Chu Liyue was once the clan's most outstanding genius, and now her Chu Clan was still as strong as before. She was eyeing Chu Zhe covetously, wanting to snatch back the title that Chu Lu stole from her.
If the sect elders were to use this weakness to pressure Chu Zhe, Chu Zhe would have to compromise and hand over a lot of benefits.
Thus, Chu Pingzhong arranged for Chu Baiqiang to step forward and block Chu Liyue from entering the Ancestral Peak. He didn't allow her to see Chu Zhe, in case something bad happened.
Who would have thought that this Chu Baiqiang would be so useless? No matter what, he was someone who had undergone six cycles of cultivation, and could not even deal with a cripple without a Profound Bead!
He turned around, and his triangular eyes shot out a cold beam as he stared at Chu Liyue who was hugging a Black Tiger.
Chu Liyue Yiran was not afraid. Her delicate, jade white hands gently caressed the bright fur of the Black Tiger. She raised her phoenix eyes and looked at Chu Pingzhong without a care.
"Chu Liyue, you have to clearly see your identity." Chu Pingzhong's words were no different from Chu Baiqiang's, but from his mouth, they caused one's heart to become heavy as if they were pressing down on a mountain.
Chu Liyue knew that this was because Chu Pingzhong's Cultivation Level had already reached Level Two Pearl and its power had greatly increased.
Chu Qinghong's Profound Bead core was a mountain peak. When used, it could transform into a towering mountain and press down from above. If he couldn't dodge in time, he would be crushed into meat paste on the spot.
If they were ambushed by an assassin, they could be summoned to act as a protective barrier.
Ironically, the Spirit on this mountain peak was collected and refined by Chu Lu in the Hundred Mountains. Because Chu Pingzhong was Chu Zhe's number one servant, he specifically gave it to him.
Chu Liyue smirked. "What about my identity?"
"Chu Liyue, you are no longer the direct daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, nor are you a genius in the seventh circulation of Chu Clan. Instead, you are a trash who has lost his Profound Bead and has no Cultivation Level. This is your identity. "
"Every person must act in accordance with their status. Otherwise, if it is light, they will laugh, and if it is heavy, they will lose their lives." Chu Pingzhong's tone was flat, but it carried a deep threat.
Chu Liyue laughed. "Chief Steward is right, I just don't know if you are planning to make me laugh or lose my life."
Her smile didn't reach her eyes at all. Chu Pingzhong glanced at Chu Liyue, not preparing to use the same method that Chu Baiqiang did. As long as he could prevent her from seeing State Duke and prevent her from causing trouble, he had achieved his goal.
"Someone, come." Chu Pingzhong called out, and a servant immediately ran over and bowed while waiting for his orders.
"Chu Liyue is no longer suitable to stay at Ru Yi Residence. Take her to Happy Life and arrange a place for her to stay." Chu Bingzhong did not even glance at Chu Liyue. After giving her orders, he turned around and bowed to the three elders, then led the rest of the trial team towards the Ancestral Peak.
Chu Liyue stood in place and watched as this group of people passed in front of her. Although some of the Chu Clan disciples had complicated expressions on their faces as they glanced at her, no one came over to say a word to her.
The Ru Yi residence that the original owner resided in was the best location in the Duke Zhen's Mansion, with the most beautiful scenery and the thickest Profound Qi. It was specially prepared by Chu Lu and his wife for their only daughter.
The plaque on the gate of Ru Yi Residence was personally inscribed by Mrs Cheng, the original owner.
Ru Yi House was also the name Chu Lu and his wife had specially given to this courtyard.
Ruyi, ruyi, just hope that their precious daughter's life is smooth, everything is happy.
But the reality was, not only did Chu Lu and his wife die, even their only daughter was assassinated by her family, and died under the ice-cold Guarding Mountain of the cliff.
Now that she had returned to the Chu Clan as the original owner, she was rudely rejected outside the door.
More than ten thousand people of the Chu Clan Clan gathered in the vast territory of the Chu Clan.
Duke Zhen's Mansion was the thickest place on this piece of land, and Ru Yi Residence was also the thickest place with Duke Zhen's Mansion and Profound Qi.
Needless to say, Ru Yi was meticulously set up by Chu Lu and his wife. There were array formations and Profound Artifact s, all of them could increase the speed at which Profound Qi were condensed.
Chu Mingyue had expressed her envy of Ru Zu more than once.
Not only that, there were also the many dowry left behind by Mrs Cheng, including many rare materials and cultivation materials.
Now, does Chu Zhe want to loot everything?
Chu Liyue was furious in her heart, but she knew that with her own strength, it was basically impossible for her to forcefully break into the Duke Zhen's Mansion. Maybe Chu Zhe was waiting for her to do this on impulse, then he would accidentally kill her and wipe out all the truth with two drops of tears.
She gritted her teeth as she thought in her heart: I will definitely return today's humiliation many times in the future!
As if it could feel her emotions, the Black Tiger stretched out its front paw and pressed it lightly on her palm.
The soft and warm pads of meat lightly touched the soft and tender palms, calling back Chu Liyue's thoughts.
Chu Liyue lowered her head and saw that the little Black Tiger was looking up at her. Her dark beast eyes seemed to be filled with worry.
Warmth filled her heart, Chu Liyue held the Black Tiger up to her eyes and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't be defeated that easily!"
In her previous life, she had developed one of the five people's Mercenary Group all the way to the peak of the world. Compared to the difficulties of the past, these were merely small dishes.
And she wasn't alone, was she?
Qing Hui had accompanied her ever since she came to this world, which was why she did not feel lonely when facing this strange world.
[Thank goodness I have you, right?] Chu Liyue asked softly as she held the Black Tiger in her arms and placed its head on her shoulder.
[Humph.] The Black Tiger struggled for a bit, then resigned itself to lying on the opponent's shoulder, allowing that gentle hand to stroke its fur.
Women have the right to cry in a coquettish way. Who told him that? However, he still liked to be as tenacious and tenacious as this woman.
As expected of a woman that this sovereign has taken a fancy to.
The servant left behind by Chu Pingzhong walked over with a straight face, "Follow me."
