I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head - Chapter 338

Seeing this young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, be it whoever they were, they were all stunned. They had expected to meet this young man here.

“Greetings, Junior Leader!” Everyone said in unison.

Only then did Chu Yunfan react. What kind of background did this young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes have? He was a terrifying figure.

He was the young clan leader of the Chu family—Chu Haoyue!

He was the son of the current clan leader of the Chu family. He was one of the most outstanding people among the younger Chus. He was also someone who had a very high chance of taking over the position of the Chu clan leader.

No one among the younger generation was a match for him.

Chu Haoye was a dazzling figure among the younger generation of the Chu family. It was impossible for Chu Yunfan not to take notice of him.

“What’s going on here?” Chu Haoyue asked as he stepped forward.

Everyone instantly felt the power in his words, making everyone feel a strong pressure in their hearts.

Chu Yunfan raised his eyebrows. A martial arts master. This Chu Haoyue was definitely a martial arts master. It was just that it was unknown whether Chu Haoye had entered the Innate Stage.

But if Chu Haoyue was not a martial arts expert, he would not have had the opportunity to become the Chus’ successor.

Even if the Chu family’s clan leader was not the strongest person alive, they were undoubtedly at least one of the strongest people in the Chu family.

The Chu family relied on martial arts to run the family. Without sufficient strength, how could they convince the masses?

“Junior Leader, I suspect that this guy is a spy. He intentionally came to disrupt our family’s ancestor worship ceremony.” Chu Hongde could only grit his teeth and bite the bullet.

After Chu Hongde’s wave of anger had disappeared, he realized how big the problem at hand was. Previously, when he was burning with anger, he would have attacked without care. But now that his anger had been scared off by Chu Haoyue, he had no choice but to use other methods.

However, Chu Hongde only heard Chu Haoyue snort coldly. Then, Chu Hongde let out a muffled yelp before he went flying and hit the ground with a heavy thud.

…

“Fool, you dare to lie in front of me?” Chu Haoyue said rudely. Although he was only the junior clan leader and had yet to truly become the clan’s leader, it did not mean he did not have power.

As one of the clan leader candidates of the Chu family, Chu Haoyue’s status in the family was only below the clan leader and some supreme elders. He would not spare even a glance for Chu Hongde who was just an ordinary elder.

“You tell me what’s going on,” Chu Haoyue commanded as he pointed at Chu Tianzong.

Chu Tianzong who had been daring enough to spout nonsense in front of Chu Yunfan had no intention of going against Chu Haoyue. So what if Chu Tianzong managed to get into Federation University? He was just an ant under the shadow that is Chu Haoye.

Chu Haoyue was once the top scorer in the college entrance examination for martial arts. The difference between them was like the difference between Heaven and Earth.

Although Chu Tianzong came from an illustrious family, there were still people in higher positions than them. To Chu Hongye and Chu Zhiguo, they were high and mighty. But to Chu Haoyue, they were not even worth mentioning.

Chu Tianzong spoke cautiously, trying to hide the truth. As he spoke, he decided to be a little lenient and tried to remove himself from the picture.

But Chu Haoyue immediately figured out the truth of the matter.

“Is this how you handle things?” Chu Haoyue said in a low voice, “Threaten and deprive our clansmen of their assets?”

As Chu Haoyue said these words, his eyebrows went higher and higher. “This is utter nonsense. Chu Hongde, you’ll be stripped of your position as an elder and will be sent to the front lines to serve for three years. You’ll only be able to return in three years. Chu Tianzong, you’re young, so I punish you. But your father will also be sent to the front lines to serve for three years. Chu Hongye and Chu Zhiguo, you two stirred up trouble in the name of the Chu family and ruined the family’s reputation. From today onwards, you are banished from the family with immediate effect.”

Everyone, including Chu Hongde, was completely dumbfounded. They had never expected Chu Haoyue to dish out such heavy punishments. This usually did not happen.

“Young Leader, this is all wrong!”

“Young Leader, we didn’t do this on purpose!”

Chu Hongde gritted his teeth and did not say a word. He did not dare go against Chu Haoyue. He merely stared at Chu Yunfan, wishing he could tear Chu Yunfan into pieces.

As for Chu Hongye and Chu Zhiguo, they almost fainted. They had not expected to receive such a harsh sentence. The only thing they had to hide behind was their Chu family identity. If they were banished, the consequences would be unimaginable.

During the development of Tengda, they had offended countless powerful enemies. They had survived by relying on the Chu family. If they no longer had the protection of the Chus, they would be doomed!

But no matter what they said, Chu Haoyue remained indifferent. He said, “We’re currently having our ancestor worship ceremony. Who knows how many guests will come. During this period, you actually dared to cause trouble. I can’t protect you.”

Then, Chu Haoye looked at Chu Yunfan and said, “You’re Chu Yunfan? I know you. I was the one who approved your spot. I wanted the family to gain another young talent, but it seems like you’re not a good candidate.

“I’m punishing them not because I’m biased toward you, but because I want to let everyone know what outcome will come out of using unscrupulous means to attack people of your own clan. What good will this bring to the family, and what good will it bring to mankind?

“I don’t care if you have anything to do with Tengda’s formula. I don’t have any evidence, so I won’t do anything to you. I hope that one day, you won’t try to harm your own people.”

Chu Yunfan met Chu Haoyue’s gaze. He said firmly, “I won’t do things without a reason. I only wish to protect myself. If others threaten me or my family, I’ll have no choice but to retaliate.”

The security captain was dumbfounded. No one had ever dared to speak in such a manner in front of Chu Haoyue. Facing Chu Haoyue, whom the security guard regarded as a supreme-ruler, Chu Yunfan was not willing to show any weakness. He was not willing to give in at all.

Chu Haoyue looked at Chu Yunfan and said, “No matter how reasonable you are, you are the cause of this riot. I’ll have you put into solitary confinement for three days until the ancestor worship ceremony begins. I’ll give you time to reflect on this properly.”

After saying that, Chu Haoyue left without a moment’s hesitation.

“We’re done for!” Chu Hongye collapsed. He had never felt so powerless before. He felt as if his body had been hollowed out.

Chu Hongde’s eyes were ice cold. He stared at Chu Yunfan for a moment before leaving with Chu Tianzong.
