“Whoosh.”
Chu Feng jumped down from the combat platform. Instead of enjoying the applause and cheers, he walked straight out of the martial arts arena.
Watching Chu Feng’s receding figure, the crowd was at a loss. Only Chu Yuanba chuckled quietly to himself. “It seems this little guy is nursing a deep grudge.”
After leaving the martial arts arena, Chu Feng went to Chu Guyu’s room. Chu Hongfei’s punch had been extremely vicious. He had beaten Chu Guyu quite badly, and he had been unconscious for a full two hours before slowly waking up.
“Brother, what happened outside? Why was it so noisy?” Chu Guyu didn’t know what had taken place in the martial arts arena.
“Nothing.” Chu Feng smiled calmly.
“Sigh, it must be that Sixth Uncle became the clan head. It’s all my fault for being useless. If I could have won, father would have been able to…” Chu Guyu’s face was full of self-blame.
“Guyu, are you feeling better?”
But right at this moment, Chu Yuanba actually walked in. Behind him followed Chu Yuan, Chu Renyi, Chu Nanshan, and other high-status members of the Chu Family.
“Grandfather, I’m fine.” Seeing Chu Yuanba, Chu Guyu quickly sat up. He didn’t dare to show the slightest disrespect to this grandfather.
“It’s good that you’re fine.” Chu Yuanba chuckled lightly, a rare expression of kindness appearing on his face. Then he shot a meaningful glance at Chu Nanshan behind him.
Seeing this, Chu Nanshan said awkwardly, “Guyu, it’s all Hongfei’s fault for lacking restraint. But don’t take it to heart, because the injuries he suffered now are more severe than yours.”
“What? Chu Hongfei was injured too?” Chu Guyu was stunned.
“Heh…” Chu Nanshan gave a wry smile and said nothing more. Instead, he looked meaningfully at Chu Feng.
Following Chu Nanshan’s gaze, Chu Guyu was first taken aback. Then, realizing something, his expression immediately became even more astonished. And right at this moment, Chu Yuanba also spoke.
“Feng’er, we have you to thank today. Otherwise, our Chu Family’s face would really have been trampled on by the Xu Family.” As Chu Yuanba spoke, he took ten Spirit Herbs from his bosom and handed them to Chu Feng.
“This…” Seeing this, everyone was stunned. They knew that the first place in the Clan Competition only received two Spirit Herbs as a reward, yet now Chu Yuanba had actually taken out ten. This was no small number.
“Grandfather, what is the meaning of this?” Chu Feng pretended not to understand.
“This is what you deserve. Take it. If you take it, I will feel a bit better.” When he said this, Chu Yuanba’s face was full of apology.
Although he had never personally bullied Chu Feng, he had also never interfered with the situation of Chu Feng being bullied by the Chu Family members. The reason was simple: deep down, he didn’t like Chu Feng either.
But today, if it weren’t for Chu Feng acting, the Chu Family would have become the laughing stock of everyone. It was precisely because Chu Feng acted that the Chu Family’s prestige had greatly increased.
In fact, just moments ago, several forces had already extended goodwill towards the Chu Family, and Chu Yuanba knew that this was all because of Chu Feng. It was precisely because of this that Chu Yuanba felt even more guilty towards Chu Feng.
“Feng’er.” Seeing that Chu Feng was actually hesitating, Chu Yuan quickly urged him.
“Then thank you, Grandfather.” Chu Feng took the Spirit Herbs, but there was no smile on his face.
Chu Yuanba didn’t mind Chu Feng’s behavior at all. Instead, he was quite happy. He turned to Chu Yuan and said, “From now on, Feng’er’s cultivation subsidy will be five Spirit Herbs per year.”
As soon as Chu Yuanba said this, not to mention the others, even Chu Yuan was deeply shocked. Such treatment had never been seen before. Chu Yuanba clearly intended to give Chu Feng focused training.
