Chapter 792: The Older Brother Was Sold

This matter ends here; basically it cannot be changed.

"Chuyang, your older brother is too arrogant; why don't you keep him for a while?"

Chen Yuan doesn't want to see the eldest son and wants the eldest son to endure some hardship; only the younger son here can make him endure hardship, and within the Chen Clan perhaps no one can act as Protector against him, the only one who could act as Protector—a wife—would never do such a thing; his own eldest son helps him, and she loves him so quickly that she can't bring herself to take action against the eldest son.

Chen Yuan also doesn't want the eldest son, after returning, to turn against him; he truly can't beat him, so he needs to close his cultivation, must accelerate his training speed, strive to surpass his own eldest son as soon as possible, and then take revenge.

"Huh?" Chen Chuyang looked at his father oddly and laughed, "Father, does this act have a hint of revenge?"

Father Chen Yuan quickly waved his hand: "No, there's no such thing; don't speak recklessly. I only saw that your older brother just underwent Advancement to condense the Core, which is not yet stable; I'm worried his cultivation might regress, which would be a loss."

"Let you help stabilize his cultivation; before his cultivation is stable, you had better not let him descend the mountain."

When it becomes stable is still up to Chuyang.

Chen Yuan has only one request: keep him on the mountain as long as possible, preferably ten or eight years; if you can avoid letting him descend, don't, that would be best.

"Father, I think the older brother's cultivation is already stable; no further stabilization needed."

"No, it's not enough," Chen Yuan said anxiously. "Your older brother must compare with geniuses, not ordinary people. As his disciple, you must consider his future; after Chusheng, he will go to Tianwai as a genius, to compare with Tianwai's geniuses."

"Chuyang, Chusheng is your older brother; you cannot just watch him waste his own talent."

"Just endure a bit of hardship; Father will thank you."

Chen Chuyang smiled warmly at his father, and that look made Chen Yuan feel… uncomfortable.

He didn't know what this son was up to; helpless, he could only take out a storage bag, grit his teeth and say, "This is Father's last savings; it's all yours, is that okay?"

Chen Chuyang took it directly, naturally not forgetting to inspect it, nodded satisfactorily, "It's acceptable, but..."

"But what?"

Chen Yuan anxiously stared at this younger son, having given everything, you can't speak without keeping your word.

"He is my older brother, my blood brother, you have to add more money."

Chen Yuan: "..." A mouthful of blood nearly spurted out.

It started again; this son started again, clearly so wealthy yet still eyeing his one mu three fen of land.

Truly an exploitative landlord; Chen Yuan wants to resist but can't, having to beg.

Clenching his fists, he wanted to teach this son a lesson, but in the end, he compromised.

Feeling his flesh ache, he fumbled out a second storage bag and said, "Chuyang, this is Father's final treasure; it's truly all gone."

"Your mother has been watching me lately; I don't dare act recklessly. This is all there is; if it's not enough, give it back to me, and Father can at most endure suffering for a while."

Chen Chuyang didn't let him take it back; he directly grabbed it, taking Father's last hidden money as well, leaving nothing.

This father doesn't deserve hidden money; being alone is better.

"Father, rest assured, the child will detain the older brother."

"I haven't chatted with the older brother for a long time; this is a good chance to chat together."

Chen Yuan heard this, nodded appreciatively: "Very well, Chuyang, you must deal with him harshly; you can't let him have it easy."

"Your older brother just begs for a beating; a few hits and he swells up."

"No need to save Father's face; beat him to death."

"As long as you don't kill him, beat him however you like."

Chen Chuyang gave a thumbs‑up, grinned with clenched teeth, "Father, may I ask, is the older brother your biological son?"

"Obviously, he's definitely biological."

"Then you're too ruthless; the child even doubts you now."

"Go, go, go, get out of here."

Chen Yuan waved his hand, telling Chen Chuyang to scram, looked up, and Chen Chuyang stood still.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?"

"Father, this is my home; the one who should leave is you, not the child."

Chen Yuan suddenly realized, perhaps, that this place is not the Chen Clan but Longshe Shan.

"Haha, Father forgot; Father will leave now. Chuyang, remember what you said: don't let your older brother descend the mountain."

"Okay."

And so, the father and mother descended the mountain, while the older brother was detained.

Long Ming also consented, for Chen Chusheng was overly arrogant and swelling; letting him descend would soon expose his existence.

Considering his safety, Long Ming also hinted to Chuyang, telling him to detain Chen Chusheng; only Chuyang can act as Protector over this eldest son.

Unfortunately, the older brother doesn't want to stay; he wants to leave together with the parents.

Chen Chuyang placed his hand on his shoulder and said gently, "Older brother, where do you want to go?"

"Down the mountain, where else?" Chen Chusheng said irritably, trying hard to shake off Chen Chuyang's hand but couldn't.

He watched the parents walk away, unaware of their intentions.

He was left behind.

"Mother, father, wait for me, I'm still here."

It was fine not to shout; after shouting, their speed increased, and they vanished swiftly into the mist.

Leaving Chen Chusheng alone, staring blankly as they left, while he himself could not leave; the mist surrounded him, the Formation activated, wanting to descend the mountain required Chen Chuyang's consent; after wandering around, he returned to this place again.

"Chuyang, can you let me descend the mountain?"

"I promise you, no mischief, no running away."

To leave, Chen Chusheng set aside his older brother's dignity and pleaded with Chen Chuyang.

Chen Chuyang spread his hands helplessly and said, "Older brother, it's not that I don't want to let you descend, but I can't."

"Father gave me some benefits, letting me keep you and torture you severely; having taken Father's things, I naturally cannot break my word."

"Mother also gave me a hint, telling me to keep you, so you can't think of leaving Longshe Shan."

Feel at ease working for me here; the peaks here have risen considerably, and I could really use your help.

On the mountain, there is still a lot of wasteland to be reclaimed.

Big brother's arrival is just in time; that land is enough for big brother to reclaim for a while.

As the spirit vein core's integration deepens, the peaks will grow even taller and larger.

"Don't, Chuyang; whatever benefits Father gave you, I'll give you double."

"Triple, I'll give you triple."

"Chuyang, don't go, quadruple—I'll give you quadruple." Chen Chusheng gritted his teeth, feeling the pain, and shouted out a brand‑new price.

Chen Chuyang stopped, turned back, and said: "Big brother, spare yourself the worry; what I promised cannot be changed."

"And you—stay at Longshe Shan, Anxin; when you meet my requirements, I will naturally let you leave."

"Chuyang, don't go; you haven't even stated your conditions yet."

Chen Chusheng pursued him, but in the end found himself blocked outside by the formation.

He dared not tamper with this formation; these formations are dangerous—if one uses brute force, the one who gets hurt is oneself.
