At this moment, the hall was completely silent. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Chu Yue.
"Chu Yue, what are you saying? You can't just bear false witness like that."
Chu Wei spoke, his gaze full of warning. His meaning was clear: he was telling Chu Yue to keep her mouth shut.
"I'm not talking nonsense. When Chu Zhen and Chu Feng made their bet, I was right there. In fact, it was Chu Zhen who asked me to be a witness."
However, Chu Yue was not afraid of Chu Wei. Instead, she stood beside Chu Feng, as if signaling to everyone whose side she was on.
At that moment, not only Chu Zhen, but even Chu Cheng and Chu Wei, including most of the Chu family members, turned green with anger.
They never expected that Chu Yue would side with Chu Feng like this, that she would be willing to go against the Chu family.
In fact, even Chu Feng was a little surprised. After all, by acting this way, Chu Yue would offend many people. But beyond his surprise, Chu Feng felt more moved.
"Chu Zhen, are you going to renege on your debt?" Chu Feng continued to pressure him. With Chu Yue as a witness, he didn't believe Chu Zhen would dare to deny it.
"I..." Chu Zhen's expression was extremely unpleasant. He didn't know how to answer.
The family only issued one Spirit Herb per year as a subsidy. Apart from this one, there was no way for them to obtain such a high-quality spirit medicine.
And this year's Spirit Herb had just been received. Chu Zhen was preparing to use it to break through to the Spirit Martial Fourth Level. How could he be willing to hand it over?
"Hmph, so what if it's true?"
"You and Chu Zhen both entered the Azure Dragon Sect at the same time. Chu Zhen already entered the Inner Sect two years ago, but it took you a full two years longer."
"What, you think you deserve to be proud because you finally entered the Inner Sect after so long? And now you even try to use this to extort Chu Zhen's family subsidy?" Chu Cheng sneered, making excuses. As Chu Zhen's elder brother, he certainly wouldn't let Chu Feng take his younger brother's subsidy.
"Don't say these things to me. Your brother knows very well what's going on."
"If you want to renege on the debt, just say so. I, Chu Feng, can let it go. But this person must personally admit that his words are like farts — completely untrustworthy." Chu Feng refused to back down.
"You..." Hearing this, Chu Zhen gritted his teeth in anger, but didn't dare to retort, because he was indeed in the wrong.
"Haha, what a joke. Reneging on the debt? Did I ever say I was going to back out?"
"You can have Chu Zhen's Spirit Herb, but you have to admit in front of everyone that you're a useless piece of trash, a fool who took five whole years to become an Inner Sect disciple."
"Everyone, am I right?" Chu Cheng shouted loudly.
"That's right, Big Brother Chu Cheng is right."
"Right. If you want the Spirit Herb, you have to admit you're trash. Once you admit it, we'll consider it as giving alms to a beggar." And as Chu Cheng raised his arm and shouted, naturally everyone present responded to his call.
Within the Chu family, aside from Chu Yuan, Chu Guyu, and Chu Yue, almost no one liked Chu Feng. They all wished they could drive him out of the Chu family.
Thus, whenever it came to matters concerning Chu Feng, no matter how outrageous, they would support it. They simply wanted to make Chu Feng look bad.
"Chu Cheng, don't be unreasonable. This is a private matter between Chu Zhen and Chu Feng. You have no right to interfere," Chu Yue scolded.
"We have no right? Only you have the right? As Chu Zhen's own sister, you take the side of an outsider. Are you even worthy of being a member of the Chu family?" Chu Cheng viciously retorted.
"I, Chu Yue, judge based on the facts, not the person. Besides, my brother Chu Feng is not an outsider. He too is a member of our Chu family."
"You're fully aware whether he's a Chu family member. But I can tell you this: Chu Zhen is your real brother."
