Chapter 38

**Swish**

Chu Feng leaped down from the arena platform. Instead of enjoying the applause and cheers, he walked straight out of the training ground.

People were at a loss as they watched Chu Feng leave, but only Chu Yuanba chuckled softly, "It seems this little guy has a lot of pent-up resentment."

After leaving the training ground, Chu Feng went to Chu Guyu's room. Chu Hongfei's punch was extremely vicious, and it had severely injured Chu Guyu, who had been unconscious for two hours before gradually regaining consciousness.

"Brother, what happened outside? Why is it so noisy?" Chu Guyu was unaware of what had happened at the training ground.

"It's nothing." Chu Feng smiled calmly.

"Ah, maybe it's because Uncle Six became the head of the family. It's all my fault. If I had won, Father could have..." Chu Guyu was full of self-reproach.

"Guyu, are you feeling better?"

At this moment, Chu Yuanba walked in, followed by Chu Yuan, Chu Renyi, Chu Nanshan, and other high-ranking members of the Chu family.

"Grandfather, I'm fine." Seeing Chu Yuanba, Chu Guyu quickly sat up, not daring to be the slightest bit disrespectful to his grandfather.

"That's good." Chu Yuanba smiled gently, a rare look of kindness on his face. He then gave Chu Nanshan a meaningful look.

Seeing this, Chu Nanshan said somewhat awkwardly, "Guyu, it's all because Hongfei lost control. But don't take it to heart, because now he is more seriously injured than you."

"What? Chu Hongfei is also injured?" Chu Guyu was taken aback.

"Ha..." Chu Nanshan chuckled bitterly and didn't say anything more, instead looking meaningfully at Chu Feng.

Following Chu Nanshan's gaze, Chu Guyu was first stunned, then his face turned even more surprised as he seemed to realize something. At this moment, Chu Yuanba also spoke up.

"Feng, thanks to you today, otherwise our Chu family's reputation would have been trampled by the Xu family." As he spoke, Chu Yuanba took out ten spirit herbs from his pocket and handed them to Chu Feng.

"This..." Everyone was taken aback. The first-place winner of the clan competition only received two spirit herbs as a reward, but now Chu Yuanba was giving ten, which was a significant number.

"Grandfather, what do you mean?" Chu Feng pretended to be confused.

"This is what you deserve. Take it. I'll feel better if you do." Chu Yuanba's face was full of regret.

Although he had never made things difficult for Chu Feng, he had never intervened when Chu Feng was bullied by other members of the Chu family. The reason was simple: he didn't like Chu Feng either.

But today, if it weren't for Chu Feng's actions, the Chu family would have become a laughingstock. Because of Chu Feng, the Chu family's reputation was greatly enhanced.

Even just now, several powerful factions had shown goodwill towards the Chu family, and Chu Yuanba knew it was all thanks to Chu Feng. This made him feel even more guilty towards Chu Feng.

"Feng." Seeing Chu Feng hesitate, Chu Yuan quickly urged him.

"Thank you, Grandfather." Chu Feng took the spirit herbs, but his face showed no joy.

Chu Yuanba didn't mind Chu Feng's reaction; instead, he was very pleased. He turned to Chu Yuan and said, "From now on, Feng's cultivation allowance will be five spirit herbs per year."

When Chu Yuanba said this, not only were the others shocked, but even Chu Yuan was deeply surprised. This kind of treatment had never been given before, clearly indicating that Chu Yuanba intended to focus on cultivating Chu Feng.

Although Chu Nanshan and the others had poor expressions, they didn't dare to say anything. In the Chu family, Chu Yuanba was the ultimate authority, and even with a new head of the family, Chu Yuanba was still the true leader of the Chu family.

"You three chat. Remember to take good care of Guyu's injuries. Although you are now the head of the family, family ties should not be neglected." Chu Yuanba instructed Chu Yuan.

"Understood, Father." Chu Yuan replied.

Chu Yuanba then looked at Chu Feng, seeing his cold expression, he smiled awkwardly and led the others away.

"Father, look at Chu Feng's attitude, he's really been spoiled..." As soon as they left the courtyard, Chu Nanshan began to criticize Chu Feng.

"Shut up!" However, he was met with a furious rebuke from Chu Yuanba. His face was cold as he pointed at everyone and said sternly,

"Listen up, from now on, I don't want to hear anyone say anything bad about Feng."

"If I hear it again, no matter who it is, they will be punished according to family law."

Hearing this, Chu Nanshan and the others turned pale and dared not say another word. They all knew that from now on, they could no longer offend Chu Feng in the Chu family.

"Father, you became the head of the family?" In the room, Chu Feng was full of surprise.

"Yes, I owe it all to my precious son." Chu Yuan also smiled, "I didn't expect you to be so deeply hidden!"

"Hehe." Faced with his father's praise, Chu Feng was also very happy. He had worked so hard to become his father's pride, and today his wish seemed to have come true.

"Father, Brother, what's going on?" Finally, the confused Chu Guyu spoke up.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan smiled and then detailed the events at the training ground to Chu Guyu, including how the Xu family members fled in disgrace after Chu Feng left, how Chu Yuanba publicly announced that Chu Yuan would inherit the position of head of the family, and how various factions showed goodwill towards the Chu family...

After learning everything, Chu Guyu's mouth opened wide in shock, unable to speak. His gaze towards Chu Feng became extremely complex. He had never imagined that his younger brother would be so capable.

But no matter what, as Chu Feng's older brother, he was genuinely happy for Chu Feng. He knew that his younger brother no longer needed his protection.

The clan meeting ended, and Chu Feng became the biggest topic of discussion within a hundred miles. Many people knew that the Chu family had produced a fifteen-year-old martial cultivation genius.

Some even exaggerated Chu Feng's abilities, saying he had shattered the arena platform with one kick and created a fierce wind with one breath, almost making him a legend. This made some people doubt whether Chu Feng was even human, but regardless, Chu Feng had clearly become the most prominent focus in the region.

Especially within the Chu family, under Chu Yuanba's authority, no one dared to say anything bad about Chu Feng or show him any disrespect. They had to have a new understanding and attitude towards Chu Feng.

On that day, Chu Feng and the others returned to the Azure Dragon Sect. Before leaving, he slipped a note to Chu Guyu, telling him to open it only after he had left.

"There's something under your pillow..."

This was the content of the note. Watching Chu Feng and the others ride away on their horses, Chu Guyu shook his head helplessly, not understanding what his younger brother was up to.

When he returned to his room, he curiously lifted his pillow. As soon as he did, his calm face was filled with shock. Under the pillow, there were ten spirit herbs.

This number was not much for Chu Feng, who had refined two spirit pearls and dozens of spirit herbs, but for Chu Guyu, it was a significant amount.

"Ha..." After the shock, Chu Guyu suddenly laughed. He looked in the direction of the Azure Dragon Sect and said softly, "It seems I, as the older brother, will really have to rely on this younger brother in the future."
