1210 You Want to Persuade Me? You’re Not Qualified!
It was already the third day—the day of Marquis Zhongxin’s return.
Chu Yunfan’s combat strength had recovered to the half-step Core Stage.
In the core courtyard of the residence, a man in a luxurious robe who looked to be around 50 to 60 years old sat in the study, handling various documents.
This person was none other than Marquis Zhongzin of the Great Wei Kingdom, Chu Yaowei.
!!Behind him was a square-faced man who looked to be in his forties. This man stood behind Chu Yaowei without moving as if he was a wooden stake.
Suddenly, footsteps came from outside, followed by a voice announcing, “Chu Yunfan requests an audience!”
“Come in.” Chu Yaowei raised his head.
A tall and slender figure dressed in black slowly walked in. It was Chu Yunfan.
“Greetings, Marquis Zhongxin!” Chu Yunfan bowed with a straight face.
“Sit,” Chu Yaowei said.
Chu Yunfan didn’t refuse and sat down. He looked into Chu Yaowei’s eyes, neither servile nor overbearing.
“Chu Yunfan, you’ve done a lot during this period of time,” Chu Yaowei said with a faint smile as he looked at Chu Yunfan.
However, he still underestimated Chu Yunfan. Chu Yunfan did not have the slightest fear when facing him. The reason why Chu Yunfan was polite was that he was grateful that the residence had taken him in.
“May I know what you are referring to, Marquis?” Chu Yunfan asked.
“I heard that Chu Xiujie was defeated by Chu Hongcai?” Chu Yaowei said calmly.
He wasn’t completely ignorant about the cliques formed among the candidates. In fact, he was happy to see this happen and even single-handedly promoted it. This was like raising a parasite, choosing the strongest one among these people to inherit the family business of the residence.
Although it was a sly move, there was no other way.
“Yes,” Chu Yunfan said calmly.
“I also heard that you were the one who trained Chu Hongcai?” Chu Yaowei continued to ask.
“That’s his own hard work,” Chu Yunfan said in neither a servile nor overbearing manner. “I just gave him a little guidance.”
Chu Yaowei’s facial muscles twitched. He almost wanted to flip the table.
To be able to make a seventh-level Innate martial artist break through to the Divine Abilities Stage in a month’s time, if it was just a casual guide, what was the meaning of giving everything he had?
However, Chu Yaowei quickly controlled his expression. He was already used to Chu Yunfan’s attitude. In fact, this was not the first time Chu Yunfan had acted this way.
He was like this almost every time. He was neither humble nor overbearing as if he could be on equal footing with the Chu Yaowei himself. Although he had a sharp edge, he did not reveal it. He was not the kind of person who was arrogant and domineering.
Chu Yaowei didn’t want to argue with Chu Yunfan because he felt that it was meaningless to argue with a boy. Moreover, if his mother found out, he would be reprimanded.
Also, he was somewhat tolerant of this person who looked very similar to his deceased brother.
However, it was different because he realized that he had never understood Chu Yunfan. Chu Hongcai had advanced by leaps and bounds with just a few pointers. He never believed that Chu Yunfan had such an advantage, but in fact, he did. He had just been hiding it all this time.
Was Chu Yunfan really not interested in being the heir?
“It was you who guided Chu Hongcai to come out and fight for the position of heir, right? Why? Aren’t you interested at all?” Chu Yaowei asked.
He didn’t think there was anything wrong with Chu Hongcai coming out to fight for the position. It wasn’t scary for a man to have ambition. What was scary was that if their ability and ambition didn’t match.
If Chu Hongcai was only at the seventh Innate Stage, Chu Yaowei would have shouted at him to retreat. However, since he had already stepped into Divine Abilities Stage, it was different.
“I’m untalented and inexperienced. I’m afraid I don’t have the qualifications to compete for the title of Marquis Zhongxin,” Chu Yunfan said.
“This is simply not true,” Chu Yaowei said with certainty.
He could tell that Chu Yunfan wasn’t coming out to compete because he thought he lacked talent and knowledge. This kind of calm confidence was something that only people who were extremely confident in themselves could have.
Being confident but not flamboyant was something that many people could not do.
This was especially true for young men like Chu Yunfan. They were either not confident, or if they were confident, they would be arrogant. And to some extent, being arrogant was not a bad thing because young passion could often do many things that middle-aged and old people could not do.
However, this made it even more obvious how rare it was for someone like Chu Yunfan to be confident but not ostentatious.
Chu Yunfan didn’t know what Chu Yaowei was thinking. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t take it seriously. He had seen many storms and stood at the top of the world. The position of heir wasn’t worth him making a big fuss about.
However, since Chu Yaowei had said so, Chu Yunfan didn’t hide it anymore and said directly, “Becoming the heir is a kind of restriction for me. My ambition is to be at the peak of martial arts. ”
“How dare you!” Chu Yaowei shouted, his eyes flashing with inexplicable light.
It should be known that many people wanted to compete but were not qualified. Those who were qualified to compete had also fought until their heads were bleeding. On the other hand, Chu Yunfan regarded it as a kind of restriction.
No one had ever dared to say it so directly in front of him!
“I’m just telling the truth. You guys think that power is everything, but I think that strength is everything. With my strength, it’s not difficult for me to earn the title of marquis,” Chu Yunfan said directly.
“Sir, he’s very confident. Why don’t you let me persuade him?”
At this moment, the middle-aged man behind Chu Yaowei stood up and spoke up.
“It’s not that easy to become a marquis of the Great Wei Kingdom.”
“All right, Wang Zhenxi, go ahead,” Chu Yaowei said.
Originally, Chu Yunfan wasn’t in his plan and wasn’t on his list of candidates. But now that Chu Yunfan had shown his elegance, Chu Yaowei was a little reluctant to let go just like that.
In his opinion, Chu Yunfan’s way of thinking was too childish. When they were young, everyone thought that they could change the world, but they couldn’t even change themselves.
The middle-aged man, Wang Zhenxi, took a step forward. A pressure unique to Divines erupted, but Wang Zhenxi controlled it very well and crushed it all toward Chu Yunfan.
Wang Zhenxi was actually an eighth-tier Divine. He was only one step away from reaching the ninth tier. Such a person was a rare expert in the Great Wei Kingdom.
Chu Yunfan grinned and said, “You want to persuade me? You’re not qualified.”
