Chapter 1297

Chen Chuyang looked at his third uncle in surprise, never expecting his third uncle's vision to be so grand, having already begun laying plans.

"Your younger brother Chen Chennhao, I have had Yu'er cultivate him from the start; I originally wanted him to be your left and right hand, but unfortunately his talent is insufficient—if he had even one-fifth of yours, I would be satisfied."

"In cultivation, his talent isn't great, but it's still much stronger than most Chen clan disciples; helping you with tasks, he has more than enough ability."

Chen Shen measures himself against Chen Chuyang, so naturally he falls short, but compared to those Chen clan disciples, he is quite outstanding, isn't he?

He can't keep up with Chen Chuyang's cultivation speed, plus he is indeed still young, his training time is short, so nothing much can be seen yet; even so, Chen Chennhao's strength is not bad, roughly on par with him.

In this regard, he is no less than Chen Qinger; it's just that Chen Qinger focuses on sword practice, slightly neglecting cultivation, which doesn't matter—her mind is wholly on the sword way, she has already entered the door, and as her sword cultivation deepens, her cultivation speed will improve by leaps and bounds.

She has been laying foundations, diligently solidifying her base, making herself better and better; now the effects are gradually appearing, and they are not bad.

Whether he can match Chen Qinger is still debatable, but in mindset he is inferior to Chen Qinger; the third uncle knows this well—Chen Chennhao's talent falls a bit short of his own little daughter's, and Wang Shu's talent is exceptionally outstanding, which the third uncle can see.

As for his little daughter, he has placed great hopes in her, but after all she is a daughter—it's not that he discriminates against daughters; daughters are fine too, he dotes on his daughter, and someday she will have to marry; who knows what will happen then?

Only the clan's bloodline and inheritance constitute the future; he has always paid attention to Chen Chennhao and also to Chen Chuyang; the third uncle knows that Chen Chuyang is the Chen clan's linchpin—the clan could do without anyone else, but not without him.

"Chen Chennhao is after all my son; as his father I naturally must consider him, and the Chen clan side has focused on cultivating a batch of disciples, who are the future mainstay of the Chen clan."

"Your elder brother is actually the most suitable choice, but unfortunately he is the family head and cannot leave; he needs to hold down the Chen clan."

"His children are not yet grown; if we wait another twenty years for him, everything will be too late."

"Chuyang, what do you think?"

Chen Chuyang spread his hands: "The outside realm is very dangerous, third uncle."

Third uncle Chen Chusheng said firmly: "No fear; if Chen Chennhao dies in the outside realm, that is his fate."

He believes in Chen Chuyang and has also made the psychological preparations.

For the clan, for himself, and for Chen Chennhao himself, these must be faced; everything has two sides.

Danger inevitably exists; he believes Chen Chuyang can protect Chen Chennhao well.

"Eh?" Chen Chuyang didn't know how to continue; the third uncle was clearly not joking.

"Nephew Chuyang, when the time comes you can take Chen Chennhao with you, but don't bring Xiao Qian'er; the Chen clan side has no qualified pill refiner, and training one would take ten or twenty years before someone could replace her."

"For the rise of the Chen clan, Xiao Qian'er cannot leave; Chen Chennhao and Chen Qinger are the most suitable choices, they can follow you to the outside realm, and then I will send another batch from the Chen clan to follow you there."

"These were decided together by me, your father, and your second uncle, and they are also the decision of the Chen clan."

This concerns a major plan for the Chen clan's next several decades, even affecting its rise and fall for the next few centuries.

Whether the Chen clan can rise hinges on this gamble.

The clan has always been gambling; fortunately, the Chen clan has won.

Chen Chuyang did not disappoint them; this time the Chen clan again chose to bet on Chen Chuyang.

"Third uncle, this matter needs long-term planning; I cannot go to the outside realm in the short term." Chen Chuyang waved his hand: "The outside realm is very dangerous; even I cannot fully protect them, so this must not be rushed—we must proceed gradually."

"Nephew Chuyang, I understand; the third uncle knows as well—our meaning is this: if you have any needs, just speak to the clan; although the clan cannot help with other matters, these things are still doable."

"Help you handle various matters so you can cultivate in peace, without being delayed by various affairs."

"Your cultivation and strength are of paramount importance."

Third uncle Chen Shen expressed their view—not praying that these people could help anything, but at least it would let him cultivate in peace.

That is still achievable.

After all, the outside realm is not this world; many matters need handling, also require caution—safety issues and various trifles all need someone to watch over.

Outsiders remain outsiders, not worthy of trust.

Chen Chuyang understood the third uncle's meaning, nodded and said: "Alright, third uncle, since you've said all that, I will certainly listen, though."

"Kid, if you have any needs, state them as much as possible; third uncle can satisfy you." Chen Shen replied immediately.

"Third uncle, their strength is too weak; in the outside realm they'd be of no help to me—without True Realm strength, they'd be no different from ants there."

"The urgent task is to raise their strength, giving them sufficient strength so they can aid me." Chen Chuyang spoke frankly.

They are too weak—Chen Chennhao and Chen Qinger sister are not strong enough, let alone those other Chen clan people.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shen sighed: "Kid, do you think breaking into the True Realm is that easy? Being able to condense a golden core already shows great talent; wanting to break into the True Realm is nowhere near that easy."

"If you're not in a hurry, third uncle will strive to train them, guaranteeing they meet your requirements before you go to the outside realm."

His cultivation is not True Realm either, so he naturally knows how hard it is to break through.

So far, Chen Shen has only reached the ninth layer of inner elixir; he hasn't even attained Golden Core, and the True Realm is still a long way off.

Those clan disciples have even lower cultivation; their training conditions are inferior to Longshe Shan, and resources are lacking in every aspect, so naturally they cannot compare to Chen Chennhao and Chen Qinger who cultivate on Longshe Shan.

Since Chen Chuyang has put forward this demand, he naturally must fulfill it.

"I will inform the elder and second brothers to come; they will arrive soon." Chen Shen notified the two in person, so that only one person wouldn't know—he needed to put some pressure on the elder and second brothers.

"Eh?" Chen Chuyang spread his hands, leaving it to them.

An hour later.

Longshe Shan became lively; father and second uncle came together, as did mother Long Meng and grandmother Long Zetian.

The men gathered to chat, the women gathered together; mother Long Meng and grandmother Long Zetian were very happy, each taking a woman's hand to greet her and give various cautions.

Even if it were a second child, they would still give instructions.

On the men's side, father Chen Yuan gave Chen Chuyang a serious glance, sighed, and said: "You kid are truly formidable; as your father I am not your equal."
