1160 Face Smacking on the Spot, Crippled With One Kick

Because Marquis Zhongxin had no descendants, they had no choice but to choose a group of more than a dozen people from the Chu clan’s side branches as candidates for the crown prince. After more than a year, except for people like Chu Yunfan, who did not care at all and never partic.i.p.ated in the selection, there was no one else.

In more than a year, more than a dozen people had been fighting openly and secretly. After all kinds of compet.i.tions, the advantages and disadvantages were quickly determined. Among them, two people stood out and became the best among the dozen. These two were the best among the Chu clan’s younger generation. They had already entered the Divine Abilities Stage and were stronger than the others.

One of them was the Chu Xiujie that Chu Yanghui had mentioned, and the other was Chu Haoyu.

After a year of open and secret fighting and various clashes, the supporters of the candidates for the position of crown prince slowly divided into two factions under the command of Chu Xiujie and Chu Haoyu.

Marquis Zhongxin seemed to have a positive att.i.tude toward this. Just like raising venomous insects, he chose the most outstanding person among them. Only the most outstanding was qualified to become Marquis Zhongxin’s son, and in the future, that person would become the next Marquis Zhongxin.

And among the two, Chu Xiujie had the closest relation to Marquis Zhongxin. He was Marquis Zhongxin’s nephew, while Chu Haoyu’s relationship was much further. But in comparison, Chu Haoyu was more outstanding.

All in all, it was difficult to distinguish who was better. Each side had a large number of supporters. The two sides fought openly and secretly, becoming more and more heated every day. This was no longer a secret in Marquis Zhongxin’s residence.

And now, the only person who remained neutral was none other than Chu Yunfan.

Everyone in the Marquis Zhongxin’s residence knew that Chu Yunfan was very doted on because he looked like the grand madam’s youngest son. However, he didn’t have any cultivation, so no one would see him as a threat.

Although he was a popular candidate, everyone knew that as long as Marquis Zhongxin was not stupid, he would not choose someone who could not cultivate.

However, Chu Yunfan had a great influence on the old lady, so two factions wanted to rope him to their side, but he had always rejected them. Until now, the dozen people were all either one or the other, and there was no room for neutrality.

Although more than a dozen people could theoretically become Marquis Zhongxin’s son, each person’s talent was completely different. There was only one position, and in the end, only one person could be promoted.

Many people thought that it was impossible, so they instead chose to rely on those who had a chance. It was similar to a battle for a throne.

“I’ve said it before. I’m not interested in being the crown prince, so don’t come looking for me,” Chu Yunfan stated matter-of-factly. Before he had recovered his strength, he didn’t want to get involved in this kind of thing, let alone now. Although he had only recovered a part of his strength, he was still not someone these people could compare to.

Chu Yanghui’s face immediately fell. He knew that Chu Yunfan had no ambition. In fact, everyone in Marquis Zhongxin’s residence knew that Chu Yunfan didn’t even bother showing up in front of the marquis.

In many people’s eyes, this was a display of self-awareness. After all, a person who could not cultivate was a half-disabled person. Such a person could live as an ordinary person, but it was impossible for him to become the next marquis.

Those who became the marquis’ son would face great pressure, let alone someone from a branch family.

Although Chu Yunfan didn’t want to get involved, his strong influence on the old lady was something that many people coveted.

“Chu Yunfan, you’d better think this through. After Young Master Jie becomes the crown prince, do you think you can do whatever you want just because of the Grand Madam’s favor?” Chu Yanghui threatened, “Young Master Jie is the one closest to Marquis Zhongxin. It’s only natural that he will become the crown prince.”

Naturally, Chu Yunfan could discern Chu Yanghui’s threat. He sneered and said, “Even if it’s natural for him to become the prince, what would that have to do with us?”

Chu Yunfan’s words immediately stunned Chu Yanghui. Chu Yunfan’s words had given him a different perspective on the matter. This relationship was the greatest support that Chu Xiujie’s faction had. But if this relationship was really so useful, why would there be candidates like them?

“I’ll warn you one more time. Don’t bother me. Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the consequences,” Chu Yunfan said indifferently, then headed for his side courtyard.

Chu Yanghui’s face burned with anger. More and more people gathered around to watch. He was also a young master of the residence, and his status was high and mighty. But now, Chu Yunfan slapped him in the face with his words. Many servants had seen this, and Chu Yunghui was immediately enraged.

“Chu Yunfan, you’re courting death!”

At the same time, Chu Yanghui took a step forward and threw out a punch. The air around him collapsed violently as his fist smashed toward Chu Yunfan’s back.

Chu Yanghui’s heart was filled with anger, and he was ready to kill.

“This isn’t going to turn out well!” The servants at the side suddenly exclaimed.

Compared to the arrogant and domineering Chu Yanghui, they liked Chu Yunfan more. Although Chu Yunfan didn’t often come out and walk around, and wasn’t as dazzling, he was kind to others. Even to servants like them, he wasn’t arrogant.

They could all tell that this was not an act. It was the truth. No matter what the reason was, they always had a good impression of him.

A few servants with cultivation immediately stepped forward, trying to stop Chu Yanghui. However, a scene that surprised them happened. Chu Yanghui’s punch hit Chu Yunfan’s body, but it didn’t hit him. Instead, it pa.s.sed right through.

It was as if he had only hit an afterimage. Then, Chu Yunfan turned around at lightning speed, twisted his body, and swept out his long leg like a lightning bolt tearing through the night sky.

Bam!

As expected, Chu Yanghui let out a m.u.f.fled groan and he was swept away.

At this time, everyone finally came back to their senses. The group of people hurriedly helped Chu Yanghui up from the ground. However, they discovered that his ribs were all broken. However, his internal organs were not injured. The destructive power was very calculated.

Everyone could see that Chu Yunfan had held back. While they were relieved that no one was killed, they were also in disbelief.

Young Master Fan held back?

Could it be that he wasn’t a good-for-nothing who can’t cultivate as the rumors say?

What kind of joke is this? If Young Master Fan was considered trash, then what about Young Master Hui

Young Master Hui’s cultivation was almost at the ninth Innate stage. Although he wasn’t outstanding among the candidates, he was still considered to be one of the top few. But now, Young Master Fan’s kick had seriously injured him.

It seemed that everyone had underestimated this Young Master Fan who had kept a low profile ever since he entered the residence.

At this time, when they looked at Chu Yunfan again. It was like looking at a ferocious beast hidden in the fog.
