Chapter 771: Tit for Tat

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Chu Yang appeared to be very honest, and even seemed a little thick-skinned right now as he made his demands.

He suddenly turned unfeeling and numb right now. “Why do I even need to care that you are my second uncle? You obviously harbor ill-intentions! How dare you bully my mother like this…damn it, I’m not a Chu if I don’t deal with you today!

“I’ll follow my mother and return to the Yang Clan! I’ll be called Yang Yang in the future!”

Chu Yang was furious right now. However, he appeared very loyal, honest and innocent right now.

Everyone in the entire room was stunned when they heard Chu Yang’s words.

Chu Xiong Cheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something. However, he didn’t say it in the end and shut his mouth again. He shook his head repeatedly.

“Damn it, I still thought that my eldest grandson was very obedient and can understand the bigger picture…I didn’t expect him to be so demanding and demanding to such an extent!”

“This is not even a small matter either.”

“He’s truly a troublemaker. He has just recognized his clan, but he’s already offended his three uncles…”

Chu Fei Ling’s face turned black and he turned his head around.

Yang Ruo Lan wore a composed look on her face. “How dare you bully me? Now my son’s standing up for me! Chu Fei Long, let’s see what you’re going to do this time!”

“Great! You tried to break my son’s fingers earlier. Now my son is accusing you of being cuckolded…you are getting what you deserve!”

“Fantastic!”

Chu Fei Long appeared very stern and his face turned as red as a tomato immediately.

No matter how cultured he was, he couldn’t stand such an insult. This was the greatest humiliation for a man! He furiously said, “What do you mean?”

Chu Yang wore a thick-skinned smile on his face and was very sincere with his words, “Second uncle, even though I returned without introducing myself, I was very inspired by your words earlier, second uncle! I was very awed. Ever since then, I swore that I’ll treat you as my role model and do my best to preserve the welfare of our clan! Even if I have to go through any trouble or challenge, I am determined to ensure prosperity of the clan and purity of our bloodline!”

He weakly panted a few times, before struggling to say again, “Second uncle, even though I just returned to the clan today, my father is the eldest son of the clan. And I’m the eldest grandson of the clan! The responsibilities on my shoulders are equally great!”

“Now that things are happening in the Nine Heavens, people are starting to turn and becoming more and more scheming! The Chu Clan…is one of the strongest clans in the Nine Great Clans, am I right? The position and status of our clan are unstable…I’m sure people have ill-intentions, right?”

“How bad is this situation?” Chu Yang let out a long sigh, “Given such heavy responsibilities, how can I handle all of them on my own? I’ll need your help, second uncle?”

Chu Yang sounded very sincere, as well as naggy.

It was just that everyone else was very confused by him, “The way he’s speaking, it seems like he has already considered himself the future head of the clan? How dare he even claim that he has too many responsibilities to handle? Did anyone even say that he’s going to be the head of the clan?”

“He’s even asked his second uncle to help him in the future…”

“What on earth…”

After Chu Yang finished speaking, he even added on a line, “Am I right, second uncle?”

Before Chu Fei Long even responded to him, Chu Yang conveniently continued his words, “Of course you’ll be fine. Those who are sharp know immediately. I’m only doing this for the good of the family…”

Chu Fei Long had only just opened his mouth, but Chu Yang had already finished speaking. Chu Fei Long glared at him but didn’t dare to argue with Chu Yang since the rest of the family was around. He could only swallow his words.

“Since I’m so important to the clan, my responsibilities are great!” Chu Yang passionately said, “How can I not give my best for the clan? How can I possibly place myself before the legacy of my clan? How can I not preserve the purity of our bloodline?”

“Fortunately, I’m gifted with a perfect opportunity now. With the Purple Crystal Jade Essence and the bloodline of the Chu Clan inside it, we’ll know if a descendant has a pure bloodline just by testing it!”

Chu Yang was chortling and sounded as if he had made a great achievement, “Furthermore, it’s not much work. We just need to call everyone over and prick them slightly before everything’s accomplished. We don’t need to break anybody’s fingers. I pricked my tongue earlier – it’s not painful at all.”

From his words, it seemed like he was very proud of his idea.

“You’ve pricked yourself, but consider the situation you were in. The rest are innocent, so why do they have to prick themselves like you? Furthermore, this isn’t an issue about pricking. It’s about humiliation!”

It was a complete humiliation!

“This isn’t just a matter of bloodline. It concerns the survival of the clan’s legacy and heritage…” Chu Yang said fervently. “I know this offends all of you slightly…but…I hope that all of you’ll forgive me on account of the clan.”

“Second uncle, I think it’s best that you call everyone over for the test. Isn’t it better if everyone’s relieved?”

By moving in circles, Chu Yang managed to repeat exactly what Chu Fei Long had mentioned earlier. He even made it sound more convincing!

In addition, the ideas that he suggested were exactly what Chu Fei Long suggested.

Right now, Chu Yang was pushing everything back on him…he even stumped Chu Fei Long. Chu Fei Yan was perspiring profusely at the back. “This guy grew up on schemes and plots in the Lower Three Heavens. He even managed to destroy an entire empire in a year…second brother, you’ve met your match right now. It’s only the first day, but things have escalated until such a level. And he can’t even stand straight yet.”

“If he becomes full of energy again…fortunately, I’ve not offended him yet.”

“Number two is the one who has offended him…”

“Nonsense! I’ve never lost my sons before! What’s there to test? No need!” Chu Fei Long shouted furiously, “Why will there be any surprise?”

Chu Yang was displeased, “Second uncle, you aren’t being right. When did I mention anything about a surprise?”

Everyone was unhappy, “When did you mention? You are obviously hinting that surprises will occur…”

“Moreover, it doesn’t mean that they are your sons just because you’ve not lost them before…what if…it’s a scandal…it’s best if I don’t say anything…it’s more important to focus on the test…”

Chu Yang exhaled slowly.

“Of course, given your personality, I definitely trust you! However, no matter how good a person’s character is, it can’t beat the truth! The most important proof of the truth is the ‘Blood of the Tongue, Soul of the Purple Crystal’! It’s only a small prick. Why do you have to be so adamant against it? Don’t tell me…you’re guilty of something?”

Chu Yang’s expression turned cold, “Second uncle, you are doing your best to stop me from performing the test. What intentions are you harboring?”

Chu Fei Long was so furious that his entire body was shaking.

These were the words that he said to Yang Ruo Lan earlier. They were almost exactly identical. He almost turned Yang Ruo Lan crazy earlier. Now that these words were repeated on him, Chu Fei Long realized how indignant he felt when false allegations were placed on him.

His limbs were cold and his chest was stuffy!

Chu Yang sighed and said, “Second uncle, while you’ve never lost your sons, it’s better to be careful. It’s nothing if we are bringing up someone else’s sons, but the effort and hard work of our Chu Clan ancestors…how can we…it’s really difficult to broach this topic…as a junior, I am embarrassed to say…”

Chu Xiong Cheng turned extremely grim right now.

Chu Yang even explicitly mentioned bringing up someone else’s sons, but he still dared to claim that he was embarrassed to speak further.

Chu Fei Ling felt that his son had gone a little overboard. “No matter what, he’s still your second uncle, right? You are accusing him of being cuckolded…that’s a little disrespectful to him.”

He tried to stop Chu Yang, but he was stopped by Yang Ruo Lan, who shot him a glare.

Yang Ruo Lan felt extremely great hearing Chu Yang’s words. She never felt so good before ever since she entered the family. Her anger had finally been vented!

Her son’s words trounced everything else!

Seeing that Chu Fei Ling wanted to intervene, Yang Ruo Lan was furious, “You idiot, dumbass, can’t you see that our son is standing up for us? I feel very comforted right now. Why do you need to stop him?”

“Bastard!” Chu Fei Long was completely angered right now no matter how scheming he was. He couldn’t help but shout in fury!

“Second uncle, you are right. Those whose backgrounds aren’t clear are bastards!” Chu Yang agreed with him, “We need to test their identities! We can’t let those bastards continue to remain in the Chu Clan!”

Chu Yang had completely escalated his words by now.

Chu Xiong Cheng was about to pass out as he listened from one side.

While Chu Xiong Cheng had many tricks up his sleeves, he was still just a martial arts practitioner. He was very straightforward, which was a quality of his.

He would rather die than partake in such scheming activities.

Right now, his eldest grandson and second son were at odds with each other. He was conflicted and couldn’t side with either party.

“Are you saying that…my wife is unchaste?!” Chu Fei Long looked at Chu Yang dangerously. It was a great taboo for a junior to call a senior member of the family unchaste.

Chu Fei Long had ill-intentions when he asked this question.

“When did I say something as blasphemous as that?” Chu Yang cried wolf. “Don’t malign me! I’m only questioning the background of those bastards…. when have I ever questioned second aunt? Second uncle, you you you…are defaming me. I…I…am very hurt…”

He paused for a moment before he was enlightened, “In order to avoid the test, you are actually putting second aunt’s reputation at stake? How…how can you be so vicious? No matter what, second aunt has gone through weal and woe with you for so many years. You…you…I’m embarrassed to say…”

Chu Fei Long almost spat out blood.

Earlier, he kneeled down and didn’t give Yang Ruo Lan and Chu Fei Ling any chance. It was only just an hour later that he was forced into a corner by Chu Yang!

Furthermore, Chu Fei Long had only made things difficult for Yang Ruo Lan earlier.

Right now, Chu Yang was humiliating him ten times worse than before!

And he couldn’t even retaliate!

This was because it was exactly what he said earlier…
