C16 – The Core of Disciples
The title of The Core Of Disciples was a clear indicator of who would be the next patriarch of the Chu Family.
Should Chu Yangxiang ascend to the position of The Core Of Disciples, he would wield the second greatest authority in the Chu Family, second only to the Patriarch himself. He would be on par with the five The Great Elders and the four Profound Warrior Group Leaders. His status would even surpass that of the Patriarch’s three sons.
Chu Yuexing’s face fell. All his years of relentless effort were for naught, including the nefarious deeds he had committed.
At that point, he would reap no benefits for the sins he bore, sins so grave that even the heavens and earth could not forgive.
For years, he had harbored the dream of becoming the Patriarch. Was it possible that Chu Yangxiang would now dash that dream to pieces?
“Chu Yangxiang must die; only then will he cease to be a threat to me,” Chu Yuexing resolved in his mind.
Chu Guangxiang, on the other hand, felt not disappointment but relief. Surely Chu Yuexing couldn’t fault him any longer, could he? At the very least, Chu Yuexing couldn’t find him guilty. He had truly put forth his best effort.
Yet, his inability to complete his task was an unfortunate reality.
He had recently perceived the red glow on Chu Yangxiang’s body as a conduit, channeling all the energy he had directed at Chu Yangxiang into his fists. Each of Chu Yangxiang’s punches felt as though they were indirectly striking him.
He had never anticipated that Chu Yangxiang possessed such extraordinary martial skills.
Amidst resounding applause, Chu Qingyong declared the day’s selection trials a resounding success.
The seventy-eight individuals promoted to Great Courtyard Disciples jubilantly received their family rewards — thirty Level Two Profound Qi Pills and twenty silver coins. Henceforth, they would be afforded the privileges of Great Courtyard Profound Warriors.
Their parents could join them in moving to the inner courtyard, and Chu Yuexing would oversee their future employment.
Following this ceremony, the crowd dispersed, elated.
The buzz of conversation centered on Chu Yangxiang.
Chu Yangxiang had become a household name, a subject of conversation about the Chu Family for many gatherings to come.
Chu Yangxiang’s rewards were impressive: 50 silver coins, 50 second-level Profound Qi Pills, and the chance to select a weapon from the armory. He also had the privilege to choose a martial technique from the Martial Skill Pavilion and a treasure from the Treasure Vault.
At the mention of these rewards, Chu Tianwen’s heart nearly skipped a beat. Such wealth was beyond what he and his wife could ever hope to earn in their lifetimes.
They made their way to a quaint courtyard near the Training Hall, which boasted eight rooms and a charming garden bursting with vibrant flowers.
Residing in this space was a testament to one’s status and identity, a dream Chu Tianwen had never dared to entertain.
Upon seeing the elders’ emotional reactions, Chu Yangxiang’s eyes brimmed with tears. They had endured hardships all their lives, and he was determined to ensure their future would be filled with better days.
“Child, it feels as though I’m in a dream,” Chu Tianwen remarked.
The young maid Chunhong and the servant Xiaocheng, both in their mid-teens, were shrewd and competent.
They regarded Chu Yangxiang with a sense of awe, recognizing that he was no ordinary individual.
They knew that by diligently attending to the needs of their three masters, their own well-being and prospects were secured.
They respectfully greeted Chu Tianwen, Hu Yewan, Chu Yangxiang, and the others.
Hu Yewan watched the pair with a pleased expression, nodding in approval.
Chu Yangxiang addressed them, “Chunhong, Xiaocheng, if you take good care of the master and Madam, I’ll reward each of you with ten iron coins every month. Additionally, you’ll be granted three days each month to visit your families.”
“Here are ten iron coins, a token of appreciation from the master and Madam,” he continued.
Chunhong and Xiaocheng knelt in gratitude. “Thank you, Young Master. We will certainly manage the household affairs to your satisfaction.”
