Chapter 7 - Deliberations of the Chu Family

　　Chu family mansion is magnificent, although with the Shen family such as rooted in the Tongzhou province for hundreds of years of the big family can not compare, but in this Tongzhou province, the Chu family is no less than a big family. 　　Chu Huo followed the second lady to the Chu family's council hall, at this time the council hall was already full of people, at the very top sat a tall, square-faced middle-aged man, wearing a brocade coat, with his eyes slightly closed. 　　This middle-aged man was Chu Huo's father, Chu family head Chu Zongguang. 　　Speaking of Chu Zongguang's experience was also considered a legend, he brought dozens of Chu family members to Tongzhoufu more than twenty years ago, and started from nothing to gain a foothold in Tongzhoufu, and by now, the Chu family had already become one of the three great families of Tongzhoufu, and it was even stronger than the Li family, which had already taken root in Tongzhoufu for hundreds of years. 　　Only in Chu Huo's memories, this father of his could be described as cold and indifferent, and he had simply never seen this father of his several times since he was a child. 　　Of course, Chu Zongguang is not only indifferent to him, for the other sons is almost the same, the only can be better is the Chu family oldest four, is also Chu Zongguang's youngest son Chu injury. 　　The previous Chu Huo didn't think so much, but now after crossing over and being reborn Chu Huo is feeling that this father of his is a bit strange. 　　Chu Zongguang's strength is innate, has crossed the body hardening and blood condensation, reached the body qi, blood, tendons and bones rounded into one, does not contain impurities, like a newborn baby general realm, now Chu Zongguang is actually more than fifty years old, but it looks simply to be younger than more than forty years old second wife. 　　The innate realm martial artist in the martial arts has already been considered to be on the level, in the outside world is not a nameless person, but in this Tongzhou province is a real master. 　　Only in Chu Huo's memory, his father has been in seclusion cultivation, even seclusion to the Chu family internal things are no matter the point, only in some big things on the opinion, if not now Chu family within his strongest strength, I'm afraid that the power of the Chu family will be bypassed. 　　In fact, like closed this is nothing, after all, their Chu family is also considered a martial arts family, although only the smallest kind, but in the jianghu, strength is everything, rather than bothering to camp, as opposed to the direct force to pressure people. 　　But the problem is Chu Zongguang so hard cultivation for more than twenty years, but their own strength also seems not much change, it is a waste of time, there is no talent enlightenment, and then how to die in seclusion is not a master. 　　In the Chu Zongguang below is five old men, look at its appearance the age of the youngest are more than sixty years old. 　　These old men are the Chu family's elders, but also Chu Zongguang's elders, in the Chu family also hold some power. 　　Beside these elders there were also some people standing, these were just the butlers and stewards of the Chu Family, some of them were also the descendants of the children of these elders, they also held some of the Chu Family's power. 　　Apart from these elders and stewards and others, sitting on both sides were Chu Zongguang's several wives and Chu Huo's several brothers. 　　The Chu family's eldest wife was said to come from a large clan and had married Chu Zongguang before he came to Tongzhou Prefecture. 　　The Chu family's oldest brother, Chu Kai, was tall, with a hint of arrogance on his face, he was also the strongest amongst the Chu family's four brothers, having already reached the Blood Condensation Realm. 　　On the other hand, the Chu family's oldest third Chu Sheng's figure was slightly thin, his face always carried a warm smile, but his gaze towards Chu Huo carried a hint of a sinister color, obviously he also didn't expect that Chu Huo would be able to come back alive. 　　The Chu family's third wife on the other hand was a poised woman in her thirties, most loved by Chu Zongguang, the Chu family's oldest four, Chu Huan, was only sixteen this year, with a handsome appearance, it was said that his looks were very much like Chu Zongguang's when he was young, and so he was also the most loved by Chu Zongguang. 　　The Chu family has four sons, but only three wives, Chu Huo's birth mother is just a concubine, of course it is not counted as an explicitly married wife. 　　Chu Huo walked in and bowed to the people in the council hall, "Greetings to Father, Great Uncle Ancestor, Third Uncle Ancestor, Seventh Uncle Ancestor, Eighth Uncle Ancestor, Ninth Uncle Ancestor, Great Mother, Second Mother, Third Mother." 　　Chu Zongguang gently nodded and just faintly said, "Back, go sit down." 　　This Lord Father of his had opened his mouth anyways, as for Chu Huo's five uncles, they didn't even raise their eyelids. 　　They were two generations older than Chu Huo, so of course they wouldn't care about him as a junior, and most importantly anyone who knew exactly what Chu Huo's status was within the Chu family wouldn't need to care. 　　Chu Zongguang coughed and said, "My Chu family came to Tongzhou Prefecture for more than twenty years, and now it is also considered to be completely rooted here, in these few years the children have also grown up, and a few uncles are also urging, my Chu family, it is also time for the family heir to first set down the position of the heir of this family." 　　At this time, the Chu family's eldest wife suddenly said, "What else is set? Chu Kai is the Chu Family's first son, and his strength is also the strongest, so if we don't let Chu Kai be the heir, who else can we let be the heir?" 　　Upon hearing this, the Chu family's second wife immediately let out a cold laugh and said, "Eldest sister, what you're saying is incorrect, why would the firstborn son be able to inherit the position of the family head? Our Chu Family is not a royal family that requires the eldest son to inherit, look at those other martial arts families, the position of the family head heir has always been for the capable." 　　A cold glint appeared in the eyes of the Chu Family's First Lady and said, "You mean my son is inferior to your son?" 　　The second madam said nonchalantly, "I didn't say that, I only know that we are all women, and in these big matters, it is still up to the master to make the decisions." 　　Saying that, the second madam turned her gaze to the third madam: "Sister, don't you think so?" 　　The Third Mistress just smiled and said softly, "Nuns are nothing more than women, of course I don't understand these things, whatever the Master says, that's what it is." 　　Upon hearing these words, the grand madam's face instantly turned ironic. 　　Although the third madam did not explicitly say so, but listening to her words, it was clear that she was on the second madam's side. 　　Chu Zongguang slapped the table and snapped, "Enough!" 　　Seeing Chu Zongguang's anger, the several women then stopped speaking. 　　Chu Zongguang rubbed his head with a bit of a headache, what he hated the most was dealing with this kind of mess. 　　"Don't even say it, such a big thing as an heir should of course be considered carefully, today several uncles are here, the rules I will set here. 　　A year's time, Chu Kai, Chu Huo, Chu Sheng, Chu Hurts, the four of you hold a part of the family's business in your hands, who will take care of the family's business the best, this heir position is who. 　　Our Chu family is just this big, and the business is just this little, whoever makes the most progress can be seen at a glance." 　　Saying this, after Chu Zongguang glanced at the youngest Chu injury, he said, "Although my Chu family is a martial arts family, but because of your ages, strength is temporarily excluded from the examination, only the ability is examined, can you all agree?" 　　As soon as these words were uttered, the first madam and the Chu family's boss Chu Kai's face instantly became gloomy, Chu Zongguang was clearly favoring the youngest Chu injury, one sentence had taken away his Chu Kai's greatest advantage. 　　The second madam smiled and said, "I certainly agree with what the master said." 　　The third madam also followed, "Naturally, the slave family also agrees." 　　Only the First Lady grimaced and snorted coldly, "I don't agree! My Chu Family is a martial arts family, but as a result, choosing a family head heir without testing his strength, this is simply a joke!" 　　Chu Huo narrowed his eyes and looked at the several people present, just by having this conversation he had pretty much mapped out the character of the several people present. 　　Those few family elders of the Chu Family were just posers, having their own little calculations, but not daring to defy Chu Zongguang's wishes. 　　And his big brother and the first lady are a virtue, arrogant very, who are not in the eyes. 　　I heard that the first lady was from a large family, and now I see that it is true, and even dared to directly call Chu Zongguang's bluff. 　　But she did so is also very stupid, even if her family head again, here is not her family, here is the Tongzhou province, but the Chu family, she so contradicted Chu Zong, will only make Chu Zongguang more disgusted. 　　The second lady needless to say, ruthless, her son the oldest three Chu Sheng Daoxing is much shallower than his mother, when he came in Chu Huo can feel the killing machine from his body. 　　Finally, the third lady is a smart person, in the first lady, the second lady are old, after the color, she only got Chu Zongguang love, performance is also harmless, but do not fight is to fight, Chu injury is the most Chu Zongguang like. 　　As for Chu Zongguang himself well, Chu Huo can feel out, his father is very afraid of trouble people, even if he said loudly that the choice of family heir is a big deal, but the result he still seems to be a little uninterested in the feeling. 　　This is to let Chu Huo some strange, this father of his is really closed into the devil, even such a big thing are acting so perfunctory? 　　Right at this moment, the Chu family's eldest wife suddenly said, "Chu Huo, although you are a concubine's son, you are also my Chu family's heir, what do you think about this matter that the master said?" 　　Only then did the people present seem to notice Chu Huo, the second madam immediately frowned, what she was afraid of was now, although she had pulled in the third madam and Chu Wound, but Chu Huo, this idiot was always on the side of the first madam and Chu Kai. 　　The first lady also knew this, she proudly raised her eyebrows towards the second lady, two against two, if Chu Zongguang blatantly favored Chu injury again it would be a bit unreasonable. 　　But who knew that Chu Huo at this time was smiling, arched his hand at Chu Zongguang and said: ''What father decided, how could a child dare to have an opinion? Naturally, how does father-sama say, how does child do." 　　As soon as these words were uttered, all the people present were stunned. 　　The First Lady and Chu Kai were both looking at Chu Huo with a face of disbelief, especially Chu Kai, he remembered that in the past, this brat had always followed his ass as a follower, and now he even dared to go against himself? 　　On the other hand, the Second Lady frowned, she was somewhat unable to guess what Chu Huo was thinking. 　　She was now certain that Chu Huo should know that he had designed things to try to kill him, but even if he knew all of this, he even stood on his side, what exactly did Chu Huo mean? 　　In fact, Chu Huo's meaning was very simple, this family head position, he also wanted to fight for it, standing on the side of the eldest lady, he still fight for a fart? 　　Previously Chu Huo did not want to fight, but now Chu Huo, not fight for the position of the head of the family, the assets of the Chu family, could it be cheaper for his several waste brothers not? 　　At this time even Chu Zongguang is a face of surprise looking at Chu Huo, he feels that this son that he has always ignored before, seems to be a little different from a year ago, Nanshan Mining District side is so exercise people?
