Chapter 206: Already a Heavenly Figure

"How could this be!"

Wang Commander's words left every member of the Chu family staring at each other.

Before this, everyone thought that pass was definitely given because of Yuqiang's face.

Even if it wasn't because of Chu Yuqiang's face, it still had nothing to do with Chu Yuping.

Chu Yuping lacks everything; a mere Third Realm cultivator, in Rong Cheng they're not everywhere, but you can still grab a handful.

How could the Martial Manor possibly make an exception for him?

But reality is often just this fantastical.

That pass really was given by the Martial Manor to Chu Yuping.

Wang Commander, forgive this old man's dullness, I truly don't understand what qualifications Chu Yuping has to receive such treatment from the Martial Manor.

At this moment, Chu Yuan spoke.

Since you Chu family are like this, letting you know is no problem.

Perhaps out of respect for Chu Yuan's age, Wang Commander's tone wasn't as icy as before.

All the Chu family members stared fixedly at him, wanting to know exactly what was going on with that pass.

Wang Commander looked at Murong Yan, his voice hinting with a trace of envy, saying, 'Lady Murong, you've borne a fine daughter.'

Those words made the Chu family's faces change.

Could it be because of Chu Youqing?

Some Chu family members reacted.

Chu Youqing!

That is the Chu family's most heaven-defying genius in history.

Such a genius, even if a daughter, placed in another family would surely be treasured like a jewel held in the palm, feared to melt if held, feared to drop if grasped.

But in the Chu family, due to Chu Yuan's existence, the situation is somewhat different.

Chu Yuan's thinking was originally rather traditional, and he constantly had Chu Yuqiang and Wang Qunyun influencing him.

Adding to the inertia formed over many years, Chu Youqing has not received much attention.

Youqing...

Murong Yan also reacted.

Could it be that Chu Youqing gave her pass to Chu Yuping?

Really a silly girl.

Murong Yan feared Chu Youqing would do that, and specially warned her not to bother with Chu Yuping.

Youqing... probably not her.

Beside him, Murong Zhan, however, felt it wasn't like that.

If Chu Youqing really wanted to give the pass, how would it go through the Martial Manor?

Let alone anything else, can the Martial Manor be commanded by ordinary people?

That's an official institution.

Even the geniuses of Beidou University wouldn't necessarily sell you face.

Lu Xun!

In Murong Zhan's mind, the image of Lu Xun appeared.

After living so many years, he only needed to think a little to figure it out.

It must be Lu Xun.

Only Lu Xun has the standing to get the Martial Manor to step forward.

And Lu Xun's reason for doing this is likely out of consideration for Murong Yan and Chu Yuping's dignity.

After all, the two of them previously looked down on Lu Xun; if Lu Xun directly gave them the pass, they'd probably be too embarrassed to take it.

Wang Commander, so you're saying Youqing gave Yuping the pass?

The Chu elder wanted to get things clear.

Of course not.

Wang Commander directly denied it.

He hesitated, wondering whether to speak Lu Xun's name.

Xu Commander had warned him to try not to expose this matter.

Both being commanders of the Martial Manor, Xu Commander's rank in the capital is higher and his strength greater.

If placed in Rong Cheng, Xu Commander would be of the rank of Grand Commander.

Not Chu Youqing?

His words left the Chu family members stunned again.

Not Chu Youqing, then who could it be?

It's Lu Xun.

Murong Zhan spoke.

Lu Xun!

These two words made Murong Yan jerk her head up, her beautiful eyes full of surprise.

The other Chu family members were completely bewildered.

They hadn't reacted yet.

Lu Xun... could he be the Beidou University genius who killed a fifth-realm foreign tribe?

The Chu elder had actually paid attention to Lu Xun.

"It's him!"

Upon hearing that, Chu Yuqiang also reacted.

Lu Xun's fame is too great; he has also seen news about Lu Xun.

But when looking, more people were treating it as a funny story.

If only the name is mentioned afterward, some cultivators might still not recall it.

But if the deeds are brought up, then it can be matched.

"How is Lu Xun related to this matter?"

Wang Qunyun muttered.

She hasn't given up yet.

"Of course there is a relation; you Chu family people are simply stupid to the core, ignoring a genius and instead hanging around a few good-for-nothings all day—do you know that Lu Xun is Youqing's boyfriend, and also my Murong Zhan's grandson-in-law, hahaha~"

Murong Zhan said and said, then couldn't help bursting into loud laughter.

He laughed at the Chu family's stupidity.

At the same time, he was happy that Chu Youqing had such an excellent boyfriend as Lu Xun.

"What?"

His words caused everyone in the Chu family to drastically change their expressions.

Lu Xun... actually is Chu Youqing's boyfriend!

"Impossible!"

Chu Yuqiang unwilling to believe.

"Impossible, how could such a heaven-defying genius like Lu Xun possibly take a liking to Chu Youqing!!!"

Wang Qunyun even less willing to believe.

The other Chu family members, each one, were similarly half-believing, half-doubting.

Lu Xun's fame is too great, his strength even more terrifying; in their eyes, he is a heavenly figure.

And they are merely ants on the ground.

But now, this legendary genius has actually become their Chu family's son-in-law.

How could they dare to believe it?

"That pass was indeed given by us at Lu Xun's request; we didn't expect Chu Yiping to get injured because of it. I have already contacted a Fifth Realm healer from the Martial Manor; he will arrive shortly. The initial treatment of Chu Yiping will be borne by our Martial Manor; as for later recuperation, that will be up to you."

Seeing Murong Zhan reveal the answer, Commander Wang no longer hesitated and directly spoke the truth.

Not only did he speak the truth, he also voluntarily took responsibility for Chu Yiping's initial treatment.

This is naturally out of respect for Lu Xun's face.

After Commander Wang spoke, the matter was now thoroughly confirmed.

Even if the Chu family members were still unwilling to believe, they had no choice but to believe.

"Hahaha, good, I never expected our Chu family to have such an excellent grandson-in-law. Yanran, rest assured, Chu Yiping's injury—our Chu family will spare no expense, even if we go bankrupt, we will surely cure it."

Old Master Chu burst into laughter.

He is ultimately different from Chu Yuqiang and them.

No matter what, Chu Yiping is his son.

He is just more laid-back, and with Chu Yuan's presence, he doesn't like to manage family affairs.

That is what allowed Chu Yuqiang and them to grow powerful.

Now hearing that Lu Xun is his grandson-in-law, he is naturally overjoyed.

"Yanran sister, your fate is truly good—you actually have such an excellent son-in-law; from now on you will enjoy blessings."

The female cousin who had just been cooperating with Wang Qunyun immediately changed her expression, coming over with a beaming smile to take Murong Yan's hand.

The speed of her face-changing could rival Sichuan opera.

The other Chu family members, after reacting, likewise surrounded Murong Yan, there saying either flattering or fawning words.

Only Chu Yuqiang and his wife, plus Chu Yuan, did not go.

Chu Yuqiang and Wang Qunyun's expressions were as ugly as possible.

Although Chu Yuan now appears to still be on their side, the Chu family's direction has completely changed.

Just the two words 'Lu Xun' carry too much power.

If it were merely a piece of news, perhaps its power wouldn't be so great.

It's just dating, after all; whether they end up together is still uncertain.

Lu Xun personally had the Martial Manor send the pass over; now the Martial Manor's Commander Wang has come all the way here, so solemnly, to examine Chu Yiping's injury.

This not only shows Lu Xun's regard for Chu Youqing,

but also demonstrates his strength, identity, and status.

In Rong Cheng, even a top-tier clan like the Wang family would find it difficult to accomplish such a thing.

Although Commander Wang bears the surname Wang, he is not from that Wang family.

This,

The usually laid-back Old Master Chu has directly expressed his stance.

The Chu family's Grand Elder, Chu Yuan, remained silent.

Chu Yuan's such status in the Chu family is not due to strength, but purely because Old Master Chu respects him as his elder brother.

Old Master Chu is truly the Chu family's main pillar.

Once Old Master Chu voices his stance, Chu Yuan is unlikely to confront him directly.

Under these circumstances, anyone with clear eyes knows what to choose.

"He... is he this strong now?"

Surrounded by the crowd, Murong Yan felt as if she were dreaming.

A few months ago, Lu Xun was still a poor kid.

She also had little hope for Lu Xun, and as a result, she had a series of conflicts with him.

Who would have thought that, after just a few months, Lu Xun had already grown to this extent?

He is already a heavenly figure.

Not to mention her,

Even the entire Chu family can only look up.

For her, a situation she was helpless in, Lu Xun resolved it without even showing up, so easily.

Originally not well regarded in the Chu family, she has now become the center of the Chu family.

And all of this is merely because Lu Xun is her daughter's boyfriend.

This made Murong Yan feel as if she were dreaming.

What surprised her even more was that the pass was actually given to Lu Xun by the Martial Manor.

Given Murong Yan's intelligence, she could naturally guess why Lu Xun did that.

Her expression instantly became complicated.

Deep down, she also felt a sense of shame.

Back then, she treated Lu Xun that way, yet Lu Xun still considerately took into account her and Chu Yuping's face and dignity.

Lu Xun's magnanimous conduct forms a stark contrast with her earlier petty behavior.

How could Murong Yan's heart not be complicated?
