He was very clear that the Minister of Industry and his family, as well as the Su family of Qingzhou, had been declining rapidly because of Chu very good reason, but their Dongfang family was not something these two families could compare to. Even if the emperor wanted to deal with the Dongfang family, he could not casually find an excuse to make a move. Not to mention Chu Yuan.

"The martial arts competition is coming soon, do you still remember?"

Chu Gong didn't care about Dongfang Haoran's reaction at all. He scratched his head and laughed, as if he was afraid that Dongfang Haoran would forget him.

Dongfang Haoran laughed coldly: "Don't worry, I won't forget. I hope you'll be lucky enough by then." Although the rules for the Martial Competition were limited, if they pretended that they could not take back the killing intent, the Chu family would not be able to investigate it. After all, every year, there would be people who failed in the Martial Competition.

Chu very naturally knew what Dongfang Haoran meant. He cupped his hands together and smiled: "Thank you for the reminder, thank you brother. I hope that you can win first place at that time."

The two of them smiled insincerely and said a few words to each other. Then, they went back to their respective tables.

"Is there something wrong with your head? Did you forget that you were called a brother by someone like him? Did you forget that he almost caused you to go to hell last time?"

Xuan You grumbled as he looked at the smiling Chu Wuwei, who seemed to have picked up a treasure.

"I also want to cut him into two, but do you think I can do that now?"

Chu Tian looked at the idiotic Xuan You, who had come out of the palace. How could he not know this little bit of martial arts? Didn't they say that women were born to be schemers?

Xuan Ran stuck out his tongue and laughed. "I can see that there's no pressure in hacking you into two."

"Then that's the end. If you can't beat him, then you have to pretend to be a grandson. When are you stronger than him? Let him pretend to be a grandson in front of me."

Chu Zhe spread out his hands. Was there really a need to explain such a simple reason? The emperor himself didn't have a headache over why he gave birth to such an idiotic daughter.

Xuan You Ran was speechless. It was worth it to roll his eyes and continue eating.

Chu Dai picked up his chopsticks, feeling rather hungry. However, there were only a few pieces of vegetables left on the plate, and when he looked at the mountain Chu, his mouth was full of oil, and he was enjoying his meal.

Chu Tianjiao could not help but let out a sorrowful sigh. Coming out to eat with him was simply asking for trouble. This brat could finish all the dishes on the table in a few minutes.

"Can you guys take care of the vulnerable groups? Can you at least leave me some?"

He shook his head helplessly. Other than frequently helping out in the name of a friend, this fellow did not care about his food at all. He really did not know why the original owner of this body would make friends with such a person.

Oh, forget it, they're all idiots.

When he saw the depressed look on Chu Yu's face, Che Xixi couldn't help but burst out laughing and say: "Who told you to pretend? Seeing that cold-faced Dongfang Haoran, you also wanted to warm up your face and put a cold face on him. Serves you right that you can't eat it."

"This is a strategy, you know? I don't understand it at all when I tell you brainless people like me."

Chu Tianlang instantly felt that no one in this world could understand him. Although he couldn't beat that little brat, he couldn't afford to be cowardly. Could it be that he had to back off when he first met him? I can't beat you, but I'm happier than you are.

This was skill!

After eating a few mouthfuls of rice, Chu Feng dejectedly stood up and said, "Let's go back and wait for news. If we're not wrong, we should be the victors in the third round."

"That might not be the case. Back then, when the Empire's Grand Masters swept through the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain, they were all basically travelling through the mountains, and these people are the elite amongst them. With your few days of training, why are you so confident?"

It was as if Xuan You Ran had never spoken directly to Chu Feng, not even sparing him a second glance.

Chu Zhe rolled his eyes. He knew that Xuan You Ran was only trying to find a topic to talk about. He wasn't in the mood for pleasantries and he wasn't here to chat with her.

As they walked towards the Chu Clan, the people on the streets stopped and stared at them as if they were watching a show.

Speaking of which, this team was considered the most respected team in the entire Mystic Fragrance Empire.

One was the Emperor's own daughter, one was his goddaughter, and two were the grandsons of the Duke of Guo.

Seeing this scene, Chu Tian had a bold idea. The future generations of famous celebrities would usually promote themselves, so wouldn't he be able to make a fortune with this sort of effect?

Even though he did not have to worry about spending money on the Chu Clan, it was someone else's money after all. Furthermore, if he wanted to develop his own independent power, he would need a steady stream of money.

It seemed like he could try to develop a business so that he could earn some money in private. Otherwise, he would always be asking that old man Chu Xuanqi for more, so he still felt a little embarrassed.

But what kind of business is it? For the higher-end ones, the Mystic Fragrance Empire didn't have any basic industries that could support them. As for the lower-end ones, there seemed to be no market for them.

Forget it, let's not dwell on this for now. The competition will be held in five days, so let's settle this matter first. If we win, we will definitely be sent to the north to resist the invasion of other clans.

After returning to the Chu Clan, Shan Lie and Chu Xuanqi were chatting when they saw that Chu Bugui had returned. Chu Xuanqi smiled and said, "Brat, you didn't send anyone to check on the competition?"

Chu Dai shook his head, he didn't think it was necessary.

"I'm sorry, but our team is in an advantageous position for the time being. We have found three targets in ten targets, but your team will remain at zero for now."

Chu Xuanqi's voice was filled with pride, this was something he was very proud of, and from the start, he felt that he would definitely win this round. At any rate, his team had experienced so many hardships, if he were to lose all three rounds, where would he put his face?

"Don't be happy too early for now. The result might be reversed."

When the servant group left, he already warned them to not let Chu Xuanqi's side lose too badly.

Naturally, he could not bear to tell this truth to the old man, or else the old man would probably go crazy with anger.

Chu Xuanqi sneered, "Don't pretend that you don't mind. I know you're worried about the result." Chu very often maintained his calm demeanor, which made him very angry.

Chu Yu didn't bother to explain. Everything he said now was a waste of time. By then, everything would have been made clear.

Chu Xuanqi rolled his eyes in anger. He was speechless, but there was nothing he could do. He had already lost two rounds and was eager to get back at them. As a result, he felt uneasy after being disturbed for the first time all these years.

Shan Lie laughed and said, "I think the one who is worried is you. This kid is very confident, and you're flustered and exasperated. Which one do you think is the result of your worry?"
