I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head - Chapter 1166

1166 Are You Interested in Becoming Marquis Zhongxin’s Son?

Chu Xiujie agreed to Chu Yunfan’s challenge word for word. He was already mad with anger, but he couldn’t act up. He had to maintain his image. Before he became the Marquis Zhongxin’s son, he had to maintain his image and couldn’t let it collapse.

But Chu Yunfan’s request for Chu Hongcai to challenge him deeply hurt Chu Xiujie’s self-esteem.

Chu Yunfan was delusional. Chu Hongcai was only at the sixth Innate Stage and could at the most break through to the seventh in a month.

Chu Xiujie had already entered the Divine Abilities Stage. Although he was only at tier one, it was enough. He was a powerful existence that had already surpassed the Innate Stage.

In a month’s time, Chu Yunfan said Chu Hongcai would be able to challenge him. If he could really do it, then Chu Xiujie might as well take a sword to his neck and commit suicide.

In order to break through to the Divine Abilities Stage, he had cultivated for so many years and spent countless resources. Only he knew how difficult it was. Now, Chu Hongcai wanted to catch up in a month. Wasn’t that wishful thinking?

A malicious glint flashed through his eyes like a venomous tongue, and his heart was filled with killing intent. One day, when he had power in his hands, he would definitely kill Chu Yunfan.

“Very well. We’ll see you in the arena in a month,” Chu Yunfan said indifferently and then left the arena with Chu Hongcai.

“What are you looking at? Hurry up and get back to work!” Chu Xiujie shouted and the servants of Marquis Zhongxin’s household who were watching the show quickly dispersed like monkeys scattering when a tree fell. In a moment, all of them had run away.

Only Chu Xiujie and the other candidates were left behind, as well as Chu Yongyan, who was constantly vomiting blood and recuperating.

Chu Xiujie originally didn’t mind these servants watching to establish his power—to let the whole mansion know what the consequences were for offending him. But in the end, he made such a big fool of himself.

Chu Xiujie coldly looked at Chu Yongyan and said, “Trash! All of you are trash. You can’t do anything right, but you’re good at ruining things!”

Hearing this, Chu Yongyan spurted out another mouthful of blood. A sinister look flashed in the depths of his eyes. He was also very aggrieved, but what could he do? This failure was also extremely humiliating to him.

But he didn’t have the guts to take revenge on Chu Xiujie, so he could only transfer all his hatred to Chu Yunfan and Chu Hongcai.

“Just wait. Next time, I’ll definitely teach you a lesson!” Chu Yongyan’s eyes flickered with a crazed look.

When Chu Xiujie and the others were about to vomit blood, Chu Yunfan and Chu Hongcai returned to Chu Yunfan’s side courtyard. This courtyard was located on the edge of Marquis Zhongxin’s residence. Usually, very few people would come here, so it was very quiet. Most people were unwilling to come here because it meant that they were demoted but Chu Yunfan wanted such a quiet place to recuperate.

Along the way, Chu Hongcai was immersed in the excitement of defeating Chu Yongyan. To him, defeating Chu Yongyan was something he could brag about for the rest of his life.

“Hahahaha, Brother Fan, did you see that? Chu Xiujie’s face was as black as the bottom of a burnt pot. I’ve been unhappy with him for a long time. Just because he’s the nephew of the marquis, he doesn’t show us any respect. If it wasn’t for your unwillingness to participate in the fight for the title of Marquis Zhongxin’s son, I wouldn’t have joined him,” Chu Hongcai said excitedly.

After the two of them entered the side courtyard, Chu Yunfan sat in front of a stone table in the courtyard, while Chu Hongcai sat opposite him. The two of them sat opposite each other.

“Pfft, he can become the crown prince? Isn’t he just relying on the fact that he’s the marquis’ nephew? All the resources he has are a few times more than the others. Otherwise, just him alone? What right does he have to step into the Divine Abilities Stage?” Chu Hongcai said in disdain, “Also, so what if he becomes the crown prince? I’ll just hide in the countryside. He can’t cover the sky with one hand in the entire Great Wei Kingdom. I can still hide if he tries to come after me.”

Chu Yunfan smiled slightly. Chu Hongcai was indeed young, hot-blooded, and impulsive, but he also had a drive, which was the rarest.

“But Brother Fan, you want me to challenge him in a month’s time. I know my own strength very well. If you want me to deal with Chu Yongyan, I can still deal with him with the Cloud Split. But if it’s Chu Xiujie, then isn’t that sending me to my death?” Chu Hongcai said with a cheeky smile.

He didn’t believe that Chu Yunfan would send him to his death, so he said this shamelessly. Anyway, he was only a teenager, much younger than Chu Yunfan, so he didn’t suffer any loss by acting cute in front of Chu Yunfan.

“Brother Fan, you must have a way, right? Tell me!”

Chu Yunfan laughed. “Since I asked you to challenge him in a month, I’m naturally confident about it. But these are just small matters.”

Chu Hongcai’s eyes widened as he looked at Chu Yunfan. Chu Yunfan had asked him to challenge Chu Xiujie in a month’s time. In his heart, it was a huge pressure, but in the end, it was just a small matter for Chu Yunfan.

If he said it out, it would probably cause a huge uproar. Chu Xiujie would probably vomit blood again. He attached so much importance to this matter, but Chu Yunfan didn’t care at all and only treated it as a small matter.

“Brother Fan, if it’s you, then, of course, it’s a small matter, but I don’t have your cultivation. I haven’t even stepped into the seventh Innate Stage. Let alone a month, even if you give me a year, I still won’t be able to beat him. You don’t really want him to stretch his muscles and bones for me and be unable to get out of bed for a year and a half, right?” Chu Hongcai said gloomily.

“Since I’ve said this, I naturally have my reasons. I naturally have a way. Do you have to be so worried? It’s just Chu Xiujie. I’m not taking care of him because I’m leaving him to you as a whetstone. If I were to take care of him, he wouldn’t even be able to block one move from me,” Chu Yunfan said indifferently.

If his words were heard by others, they would definitely think that he was extremely arrogant. If word of this got out, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.

However, Chu Hongcai nodded his head fervently as if he was saying “You’re the boss. Everything you say is right.”

“Now, tell me. Are you interested in becoming the marquis’s son? ” Chu Yunfan asked as he looked at Chu Hongcai.

His expression was carefree as if he had just said something insignificant.
