C49

Reaching the fourth stage of the [Rolling Cloud Thunder Art] was already the limit. Chen Yi's current cultivation level of six meridians wasn't enough for him to reach the fifth stage.

Or rather, when the [Rolling Cloud Thunder Art] broke through to the fifth stage, it was also the time when Chen Yi stepped into the great circle of the Invigorated Meridian Realm.

Since he was temporarily unable to improve his cultivation technique, Chen Yi started to practice something else.

For example, the movement technique manual [Gale Secret Manual] he had obtained at the mountains.

[Gale Secret Manual] was divided into three levels. The first level, [Pursuing Shadow], was equivalent to a mid-tier ordinary person's movement technique.

The second stage, [Weaver's Blink], was equivalent to the peak mid-grade human-step movement technique.

The third stage, [Stellar Transposition], was equivalent to the upper level movements of an ordinary person.

As the day of the Du Family's tea party drew closer and closer, Chen Yi did not expect himself to be able to cultivate the [Gale Secret Manual] to a very profound level.

"..."

In the main hall of the Chen Residence, Chen Yi's grandfather sat at the front of the discussion table. On either side of him were his uncle, his second uncle, his father, and six other senior elders of the Heavenly Axis Realm.

Everyone seemed to be discussing something.

He slapped the table in front of him loudly, "Second brother, why didn't you give Yi'er a spot?! "Yi'er is now at the peak of the middle stage of the Invigorated Meridian Realm, so he is entirely qualified to participate in the Du Family's tea ceremony!"

Opposite the conference table, Chen Yi's second uncle said lightly: "The Du Family's tea party quota has already been determined. There are a total of five people, and for these five spots, our Chen Family has also paid a great price and gifted many precious resources to the Du Family."

"Right now, our Chen family can no longer take out any more resources to exchange for a spot to participate in the Du Family's tea ceremony."

"Nonsense!" Father Chen was so angry that he started laughing. It was true that one would require the Chen family to pay a lot of resources for a single entry, but the Chen family had to pay a total of five places in order to consume a lot of resources.

If he wanted one more, wouldn't his family collapse?

This number two obviously didn't want Chen Yi to attend the Du Family tea ceremony.

He thought that Old Second was unaware of his ambition and was obviously worried that Chen Yi would compete with his son, Chen Jinghe, for the position of Patriarch in the future.

Father Chen knew that Chen Yi wasn't that ambitious. Ever since he knew that Chen Yi had thoughts of revenge, and that Chen Yi had awakened a special bloodline, he knew that this small town wouldn't be able to trap Chen Yi.

Chen Yi's future was destined to belong to a larger city.

However, Father Chen knew that it would be useless even if he told others. Second Brother would never believe him.

"Big brother!" Father Chen couldn't help but look at his big brother, hoping that he could help him out and say a few words.

What could he do if he opened his mouth? Originally, as long as his father nodded his head, this matter would have been fine. Who knew what the second brother had told him?

Under the current situation, even if he supported number three, as long as the remaining people didn't agree, Chen Yi wouldn't obtain this spot.

However, Uncle Chen Yi still said slowly, "Everyone should understand Little Yi's talent from before. Now that Little Yi's body has recovered, his talent from before will definitely recover as well."

"Even if it's delayed for a few years, with Little Yi's outstanding talent from before, his future achievements definitely won't be bad."

"Moreover, Xiaoyi seems to have a good relationship with Sir Lin. In the future, he will at least be a quasi Xiantian realm expert. Everyone, don't look down on poor youths."

These words caused the faces of the elders to slightly change. If Chen Yi really became a powerful quasi-Xiantian master in the future, would their actions today offend Chen Yi?

In another ten or twenty years, would Chen Yi rely on his formidable martial arts cultivation and his relationship with Lin Tianlu to oppress their juniors?

This made the elders, who had agreed to Chen Yi's second uncle's request, sink into deep thought.

Chen Yi's second uncle's face turned black as he said in a low voice, "Big Brother, you overestimate Chen Yi too much."

"Alright, even if Chen Yi is strong in the future, is Little River weak?"

This so-called river, naturally, referred to Chen Jinghe.

Chen Yi's second uncle continued: "Little River is our town's only little cycle under the age of twenty. Even at the Black Shadow Sect, he will definitely be highly regarded by the Elders of the Upper Sky Realm. He will definitely become an Upper Sky Realm warrior in the future!"

The Elders who had been hesitating all this while made up their minds.

Yes, so what if Chen Yi had become a Lesser Innate in the future? As long as Chen Jinghe joined the Xuan Ying Sect, he would definitely become a true Innate in the future.

Although a Lesser Innate was strong, it was nothing compared to a genuine Upper Sky.

As long as Chen Jinghe became a true Xiantian master, wouldn't the Chen family be able to achieve great things?

As the Chen family grew stronger, naturally, they had more resources.

Based on what Chen Er promised them, as long as they helped him ascend to the position of Patriarch, the resources they would receive would double.

Now that they were old and lacking in bodily functions, what they wanted more was for their juniors to be even more promising.

If they could obtain more resources and then use them on their juniors, their future achievements would be even greater.

Thinking of this, they no longer wavered.

"Father, you think so too?" Father Chen couldn't help but look at Grandfather Chen Yi.

Although everyone had the right to vote, as the clan leader, that power was naturally greater.

As long as the clan head agreed, even if some elders were roped in, after seeing the clan head's opinion, they had no choice but to think for a bit.

However, when his father saw his father's expression, his heart sank.

Grandpa Chen Yi slowly said, "This time, the number of people that will be able to enter the Profound Imagery Sect to recruit disciples is not many. Even if Chen Yi obtains the placing, he might not even be able to enter the Profound Imagery Sect."

"Since Chen Yi and Lord Lin are on good terms, why don't we go to the Golden Forest Army?"

"In ten to twenty years, if Little River can advance to the Innate Realm, and if Chen Yi can reach a higher position in the Jin Lin Army, then the powerful alliance will be able to make our Chen family stronger."

"Wouldn't it be bad if we were to become enemies if we were to enter the Gate of Mysterious Shadows?"

Father Chen's heart sank. He was too lazy to say anything.

He knew that the reason his father was so biased towards the second brother was likely because he had a grudge against Chen Yi who wasn't of the Chen family bloodline.

In the end, his father still did not treat Chen Yi as his own grandson.

Uncle Chen Yi shook his head and didn't say anything. He could tell that his second brother had long since reached an agreement with his father.

"If I were the successor to the clan head …" Chen Yi forced a smile.

He still didn't have a son, so it was impossible for him to become a candidate in the eyes of his father.

However, Uncle Chen Yi didn't regret it at all. He loved his wife very much. After his wife had a problem giving birth to a girl, he didn't want his wife to be reborn.

Everyone thought that this matter had been set in stone. Who knew that Chen Yi's second uncle would suddenly say, "Third brother, Chen Yi must have a way to enter the Golden Forest Army. Why don't we use this method to exchange with Chen Xun?"

"I can make the decision to exchange Chen Xun's entry into the Du Family Tea House for Chen Yi."

Chen Yi's second uncle knew that his second son wasn't likely to enter the Black Shadow Sect, so entering the Golden Forest Army was also a good choice.

Chen Yi's uncle's face instantly went cold. This number two was getting more and more outrageous.

Father Chen was so angry that he started laughing, "Chen Xun, a trash, wants to join the Golden Forest Army? Dream on! "

Finished speaking, his father brushed his sleeves and left, not bothering to look at Chen Yi's second uncle. He never would have thought that his second brother, who was close to him when he was young, would now have such an appearance.

The several Elders were embarrassed. They had already left. It seemed that they didn't need to put their hands up for a vote.

Chen Yi's grandfather glared at Chen Yi's uncle in annoyance. It was already outrageous for Chen Yi to not get a spot in the tea party. Did he really not care about brotherly feelings when he wanted Chen Xun to replace Chen Yi and join the Golden Forest Army?

Chen Yi's grandfather had a headache as he supported his forehead. Although he didn't have any feelings for Chen Yi, he had at least watched him grow up since he was young. How could he not have any feelings for him?

That was why he was so angry when he saw Chen Yi's second uncle making every inch of progress.

However, Chen Yi's kinship could not be compared to Chen Jinghe's. Otherwise, Chen Yi wouldn't be worried about becoming Chen Jinghe's opponent in the future and agreeing to Chen Yi's second uncle's decision to not give Chen Yi the chance to join the Du Family's tea party.

Second Uncle Chen Yi didn't see his father's angry stare. Instead, he seemed to have received some sort of insult and roared loudly, "What is this Old Third saying? How come my Chen Xun is trash? "Even more trash than him?"

"Second brother!" Uncle Chen Yi shouted loudly.

Chen Yi's second uncle was scared stiff by Chen Yi's stern shout. He had never seen his big brother look at him with such a disappointed expression.

Uncle Chen Yi closed his eyes, then opened them again and said to Grandpa Chen Yi, "Father, there will be a day when you regret hurting Number Three's heart like this."

"As for you …" Eldest Uncle Chen Yi looked coldly at Second Brother and said, "Continue with your work. Be careful not to forget your last bit of brotherly affection."

He was worried that his Eldest Brother would suddenly go berserk and give him a punch. At that time, he would lose a lot of face in front of these elders, and even if he became the Patriarch, his prestige would still be lacking.

However, although he shut his mouth, Chen Yi's second uncle had an unsatisfied expression. He didn't understand, Chen Yi was obviously not related to the Chen family in any way, so why was Big Brother protecting him?

Aren't you afraid of making an ingrate?

Seeing that the three of them were at loggerheads, Grandpa Chen couldn't help but feel a trace of dissatisfaction towards Chen Yi.

The three brothers were all his sons, so it was obvious that Grandpa Chen Yi wouldn't think of them as his sons. He also couldn't admit that there was a problem with his education, so he could only vent his anger on Chen Yi.

Grandpa Chen Yi was originally happy because of Chen Yi's recovery, but now he felt that it was better for Chen Yi to not recover. The three brothers wouldn't have any conflicts right now.

Due to his anger, he didn't even need to cast his vote. Under the vote of Chen Yi's second uncle, he rejected the suggestion of using the clan's resources to exchange for Chen Yi's quota for participating in the Du Family Tea Party.
