Chapter 825: Changes in the Family, Grandpa’s Birthday
Without a doubt, this was a situation that the Federation had always wanted to avoid.
It was not a good thing for the Federation for the great families to be too powerful. This would undoubtedly usurp their control.
“A storm is about to hit.”
Chu Yunfan felt that the Federation was becoming more and more chaotic. However, it was different from the past. He had absolute confidence in himself now. No matter how chaotic the world was, he was confident he could weather it.
Soon, the Jiangs made another announcement. In a month’s time, the three families would be holding an alliance ceremony, and they sincerely invited everyone to come and witness this historical moment.
“In a month?” Chu Yunfan’s eyes flickered with uncertainty as he read the news.
No matter what, he would not allow the alliance to be formed. If he wanted to destroy it, the alliance ceremony in would be the best time to do it.
Immediately after, the Jiangs revealed that a vice sect master of the Fluttering Blooms would be attending the alliance ceremony. And this vice sect master was an elite in the Divine Abilities Stage.
Immediately, the entire Internet was in an uproar. Many were shocked by the formidable strength of the Fluttering Blooms sect. A mere vice sect master of the sect was an Divine expert.
The strength of the Fluttering Blooms was truly astonishing. They were much more tyrannical than the current superpowers of the Federation.
If it weren’t for the fact that humans had nuclear bombs, battleships, and other weapons of ma.s.s destruction in their hands, there would be no way for them to negotiate cooperation with the holy land. They might even face the situation of being annexed.
And this alliance ceremony began to cause an uproar in the Internet because of the Jiangs. A new era of alliance was about to arrive.
There were many who wanted to go and watch the ceremony. After all, a Divien expert wasn’t someone ordinary people could see just because they wanted to.
‘The vice sect master of the Fluttering Blooms will personally be there?’
After the shuttle landed, many thoughts popped up in Chu Yunfan’s mind. He had speculated that the holy land probably couldn’t enter and exit Kunlun Realm on a large scale. All the pa.s.sages should have been blocked during the great destruction.
And now, there was a Divine expert descending in person. It probably wouldn’t be long before the true holy land descended.
After Chu Yunfan arrived at the Chu ancestral home, he easily located his parents who were living there through the address Lu Wingxuan had given him.
The Chu ancestral home occupied a vast area—just like a city within a city. It was heavily guarded and ordinary people could not approach it without permission.
However, this was not a problem for the current Chu Yunfan.
“Thank goodness you’re all right!”
In the villa that the Chu family had arranged for Chu Yunfan’s parents, Chu Wencheng and Yang Yayun were pleasantly surprised to see their son.
Although they had already heard from Lu Qingxuan that Chu Yunfan wasn’t dead, there had been no news of him. As his parents, how could they not be worried?
Now, upon finally seeing Chu Yunfan return, they could finally heave a sigh of relief.
Yang Yayun had to keep wiping away tears of happiness. Then, she pulled Chu Yunfan’s ear.
“You just run off wherever you want. You made your dad and I worry every day!” Yang Yayun raised her eyebrows in anger.
“Mom, let’s talk about this calmly!” Chu Yunfan quickly begged for mercy.
When he was a child, Yang Yayun had often scolded him this way. It had been many years since this had happened.
It was obvious that Yang Yayun was dissatisfied with Chu Yunfan’s behavior over the past few years. He suddenly disappeared for two years, and then disappeared again not long after he came out.
There was constantly news about him being dead, but he didn’t send word at all. These two years, her heart had been through a roller coaster ride of emotions, going from Heaven to h.e.l.l.
Almost instinctively, in anger, Yang Yayun used the killing move she used against Chu Yunfan in the past.
“It’s good that you’re back.” Chu Wencheng nodded. It was obvious that he was also excited. However, as a father, he didn’t express it so openly.
Chu Yunfan heaved a sigh of relief after finally convincing his mother to let him go.
“Where have you been all this time?” Yang Yayun looked at Chu Yunfan with a reproachful expression. “Why couldn’t we contact you?”
“I’ve been in secluded cultivation recently,” Chu Yunfan quickly said. He had indeed been in seclusion.
“In the future, you must remember to tell us,” Chu Wencheng said helplessly. As a father, there was already very little he could do for Chu Yunfan.
Although ironic, Chu Wenchang knew that he was only in the Acquired Stage. He couldn’t help his son in the face of a strong enemy.
The only thing he and his wife could do was live well.
Therefore, though he had been forced to move to the ancestral home of the Chu family, he was not dissatisfied.
All he could do was do his best to live well and protect his family so that they wouldn’t be a burden to Chu Yunfan.
“Yes, I will,” Chu Yunfan said.
“Oh right, where’s Xuan Xuan? Is she in cla.s.s now?” Chu Yunfan asked.
“Oh, so you do care about your sister. She’s already in her third year of high school. She’s not in school most of the time now. She’s out cultivating with her instructor!” Yang Yayun said.
Then, Chu Yunfan found out from his parents that in the past few years, after Chu QIngxuan had been cured of her chronic illness, her talent had completely erupted.
Although the time she had spent cultivating was much shorter than others, she was already the top student in Calm Ocean No. 1 High School before she moved to the Chu ancestral home. She was the top student among her peers in Calm Ocean City.
She had even become the top high schooler in all of Donghua City. Such a genius naturally attracted the attention of various universities. Many famous instructors from various universities had offered olive branches to Chu Qingxuan, wanting her to become their disciple.
Chu Qingxuan’s talent was shocking, not to mention that she also had a stunning brother. Her future was simply beyond doubt.
After Chu Wenxuan and Yang Yayun asked Chu Haoyue to look into it, they finally chose a female instructor. This instructor was a well-known instructor at Federation University and had taught many students.
That instructor had just reached the peak of the Innate Stage and was one of the top instructors at Federation University. She had been the most qualified among the instructors who offered Chu Qingxuan an olive branch.
Therefore, Chu Wencheng and Yang Yayun had agreed to it. Now, Chu Qingxuan had to train with the other party for a few months every year.
This was already beyond the level of an ordinary high schooler. It was speculated that Chu Qingxuan would be able to amaze the world in the upcoming college entrance exams and enter Federation University as the top student.
Chu Yunfan was stunned. He hadn’t expected that his sister would one day reach such a level. She was now even more brilliant than he had been in the past.
The instructor’s name was Shen Lingzhu.
Chu Yunfan thought for a moment. He had indeed heard of this name. Shen Lingzhu was indeed one of the best among all the instructors. Even at Federation University, where there were many experts, there weren’t many peak-stage Innate experts.
All of these experts held great power. With such an instructor, his sister wouldn’t have to worry about her future.
However, just as the three of them were chatting, another set of hurried footsteps rang out. A figure appeared before their eyes.
Who else could it be but Chu Qingxuan, who had gone to train with her instructor?
“Big Brother!”
When she saw Chu Yunfan, Chu Qingxuan’s eyes immediately lit up, and she ran over in joy.
However, when she arrived in front of Chu Yunfan, she suddenly seemed to transform into a crane and threw a punch at him.
The fist force was like the wind, bringing with it a loud air-breaking sound.
Thud!
Chu Yunfan gently raised his hand to block it. He immediately recognized that this was a set of fist technique called the Fluid Crane Longevity Punch. This technique took on the shape of a crane, and when cultivated to the extreme, its power was amazing.
At the same time, Chu Qingxuan launched another series of attacks toward Chu Yunfan like a storm.
Chu Yunfan, on the other hand, just stood there without moving. He just kept raising his hand, easily blocking Chu Qingxuan’s terrifying attacks.
After a few blows, Chu Qingxuan finally stopped. She then pouted and said, ” “How boring. I still can’t beat you!”
“You want to beat me?” Chu Yunfan couldn’t help but laugh. “With your mediocre skills, you’ve still got a long way to go!”
“This isn’t some mediocre martial skill. Miss Shen said that with my current cultivation, I have a high chance of becoming the college entrance examinations’ top scorer!” Chu Qingxuan retorted.
“That’s true.” Chu Yunfan nodded.
Although he had easily blocked Chu Qingxuan’s tide-like attacks, he could tell that her cultivation had at least entered the fourth Acquired Stage.
Though she had yet to pa.s.s the college entrance examinations, a few months from now, with Chu Qingxuan’s progress speed, it was not impossible for her to enter the seventh Acquired Stage when the examinations began.
This was even more shocking than their batch back then.
However, it was also a very common situation for the Federation to grow stronger with each generation. There might even be an obvious gap in a few years.
“But don’t be too proud. You’re not the only one who’s getting stronger. Many of those true geniuses come from big families and are improving every moment. If you’re too proud, you might lose,” Chu Yunfan said.
“I didn’t become the top scorer back then. Now, I’ll have to rely on you to make up for this regret. I’ll give you the number later. Her name is Lu Qingxuan. Take note of it. In the future, if you lack money, medicinal herbs, or things for cultivation, you can call her and ask her to help you prepare them.”
“I know, but it’s nothing to be the top scorer. Big Brother, the top scorer in your batch was far worse than you,” Chu Qingxuan pouted.
“All right, all right. You can discuss this later. Yunfan, you’re back now, so you should come with us to celebrate your grandpa’s eightieth birthday. And I’m talking about your maternal grandfather,” Chu Wencheng said.
