Right at that moment, that Chu Ruoshi’s childhood friend, who seemed to have sensed Chu Feng’s gaze, actually suddenly turned his head and looked towards Chu Feng.
Seeing that Chu Feng was indeed looking at him, he actually walked towards Chu Feng, came to Chu Feng’s body, politely clasped his fists, and said, “My name is Chu Zhiyuan, my father and your father are of the same generation, and you and I are of the same generation as well, and I’m above you in terms of age, so if you don’t mind, I should refer to you as Chu Feng Di.”
 ”
Just call
me Chu Feng.” Chu Feng cupped his fists and said.
He said that because he would not call the other party brother, and even though that was just a hunch, Chu Feng trusted his intuition.
 Since
he had already sensed the signals of danger in this Chu Zhiyuan’s body, Chu Feng naturally would not get too involved with him, or at the very least… would not address him as a brother.
 “Good
, then I will call you Chu Feng, and you will call me Chu Zhiyuan.” This Chu Zhiyuan was truly an intelligent person, he actually understood Chu Feng’s, desire to distance himself from him.
ￌ “No matter
what, today, I have to thank you, if it wasn’t for you taking the lead in exploring, the method to awaken this Flame Extinguishing Bead, I’m afraid that none of us would have been able to awaken the Flame Extinguishing Bead so easily.” Chu Zhiyuan said.
ￌ “There is no need to
be polite.” Chu Feng said indifferently, then looked at Chu Yue and said, “Sister Chu Yue, didn’t you just call me back in a hurry, saying that you wanted to discuss the matter of the Yin-Yang Fate Pearl with me in detail?”
ￌ “Yes
, about the Yin Yang Fate Pearl you still don’t understand, I must talk to you about it properly.” Chu Yue was smart enough to understand what Chu Feng meant, and dripping with water, she took over Chu Feng’s words.
ￌ “I’m sorry
, the opportunity to enter the Nine Moons Divine Realm is rare, so I’m afraid I have to go ahead.” Chu Feng said to Chu Zhiyuan.
“Alas, where are these words, now that you have returned to the clan, there are many opportunities for us to meet, we will have a good drink with you again on another day.” Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.
 “Then
I will take my leave.” Chu Feng clasped his fists and then turned to leave with Chu Yue.
Merely, even though Chu Yue had received a drop of water, when Chu Feng and Chu Yue had walked away, a touch of grimness flashed through that Chu Zhiyuan’s gaze.
ￌ That
gaze was extremely imperceptible, and not to mention the bystanders, even Chu Feng, surprisingly, did not notice it.
“Brother Chu Feng, you don’t seem to like that Chu Zhiyuan very much, you shouldn’t also like Chu Ruoshi, right?” After returning to Chu Feng’s premises, Chu Yue asked.
 “Not really
, I’m just really anxious to understand this Yin-Yang Fate Pearl, it’s just that… for this Chu Zhiyuan, I’m also a bit curious about it… I wonder… if Sister Chu Yue could speak with me a bit about this Chu Zhiyuan?” Chu Feng said.
ￌ “Of course
.” Chu Yue did not hide anything, and recounted all that she knew about Chu Zhiyuan for Chu Feng.
It turned out that this Chu Zhiyuan was also not a mediocre person, and even back then, he was also designated by others as a martial arts cultivation wizard.
He was two years younger than Chu Qing, who was the first on the Demon List of the current Great Millennium Boundary.
However, during the time when he had just cultivated martial arts, he and Chu Qing, together, were hailed as the successor of the future head of the Chu Clan’s Heavenly Clan.
It was a pity that there were two types of geniuses.
One is the one that sings all the way to the peak of martial arts cultivation.
And the other kind, is like a shooting star, bloom time is extremely short.
Chu Qing was the first type.
Unfortunately, this Chu Zhiyuan was the second type.
Ever since Chu Zhiyuan was twenty years old, when he sparred with Chu Qing and lost to her, he had been in a state of despair for a long time.
Although later on, under Chu Ruoshi’s unwavering companionship, he gradually regained his fighting spirit and resumed martial arts training.
However, at that time, he had already been left far behind by Chu Qing.
At that time, Chu Qing was the Chu Clan’s Heavenly Clan, the first person of the junior generation that deserved to be there.
As for him, this Chu Zhiyuan, who had once competed with Chu Qing for the position of number one, had already fallen to the middle to upper class, and was even inferior to Chu Ruoshi.
In the blink of an eye, several decades had passed, and in the Chu Clan’s Heavenly Clan, in addition to Chu Qing and Chu Ruoshi, there were successively Chu Huanyu, Chu Haoyan, and Chu Lingxi, the three juniors who had emerged.
However, Chu Zhiyuan had never been able to return to the peak.
However, fortunately, Chu Ruoshi had never abandoned him, and the two of them had an excellent relationship.
As for Chu Zhiyuan, he had a drastic change in temperament, he no longer competed for fame and fortune, and even if he was considered to have succeeded in eating the swan meat of a toad, it was as if he couldn’t hear it, and he didn’t argue with people.
“Actually, Chu Zhiyuan’s character is very good, and he is also very friendly to us peers in his day-to-day life, very much like an elder brother.”
Chu Yue said to Chu Feng, and it could be seen that her impression of Chu Zhiyuan was quite good.
“If he truly has the appearance of an elder brother, why, today, when no one was willing to awaken the Flame Extinguishing Bead for you, did he not say half a word on your behalf?” Chu Feng asked.
“This ……,” Chu Yue fell into deep thought, then seemed to have a result and said, “It should be that he is also clear that it doesn’t matter if he says anything.”
“Although his origins are extremely good, and his grandfather is also one of the Chu Clan’s Heavenly Clan’s Supreme Elders, it’s just that… his grandfather has never cared about him, even if someone were to say in front of his grandfather that his relationship with Chu Ruoshi is that of a toad eating swan’s meat, his grandfather would pretend that he couldn’t hear it.”
“If it is said that all of the Chu Clan’s Heavenly Clan’s Taishang Elders are existences that would make people feel intimidated when they see them, then his grandfather can be said to be the only one amongst the Chu Clan’s Heavenly Clan’s present-day Taishang Elders that we can easily face when we see them.”
“Perhaps it is also precisely because his grandfather is too nice to talk to, so there is also no one who fears this Chu Zhiyuan at all.”
“This is what is called, people being bullied for being good, horses being ridden for being good, right… I actually feel that… Chu Zhiyuan is quite pitiful, even more pitiful than us.”
“We can’t raise our heads within the Chu Clan’s Heavenly Clan because our backgrounds aren’t deep enough, no one is backing us up, but Chu Zhiyuan, he isn’t.”
“His grandfather could clearly back him up, but he doesn’t, and with his parents being dead, the only true family he has today is this one grandfather.”
At those words, Chu Yue’s eyes were unexpectedly filled with sympathy.
Chu Feng deeply knew that Chu Yue was deceived by that Chu Zhiyuan’s disguise.
No matter what kind of past Chu Zhiyuan had, what kind of life he had, and how pitiful it seemed to outsiders.
However, Chu Feng all firmly believed that Chu Zhiyuan was not that simple, and that was a very dangerous person.
So at this moment, Chu Feng did not want to continue with this topic, so he said, “Sister Chu Yue, it would be better to speak with me about this Yin-Yang Fate Pearl.”
“Ah, good.” Chu Yue nodded her head repeatedly, and then spoke about the Yin Yang Fate Pearl for Chu Feng.
However, at the same time, within the Chu Clan’s Heavenly Clan, within one of the holiest halls, there were three old men gathered here.
This great hall was called the Chu Clan’s Main Hall, and other than the Chu Clan’s Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief, only the Chu Clan’s Heavenly Clan’s Supreme Elder could enter it.
Other than that, even the Hall Master of the Hall of Punishment was not qualified to enter this place.
Therefore, the three people who were in this hall at the moment were all the Chu Clan’s Heavenly Clan’s supreme elders.
“A wasted son is a wasted son, I am resolutely disagreeing and focusing on cultivating this Chu Feng.”
One of the elders said in an incomparably firm tone of voice
