Chapter 11: The Five Clans' Struggle, the Shock of the Whole Family

Returning to Jia Li, Chen Yan heard the sound of stir-frying coming from the Chu Fang.

Calling it a Chu Fang, it was merely a stove built simply with mud and bricks against the wall of the Tingyuan, surrounded by a wooden room simply repaired with wooden planks.

"Brother, you're back."

A crisp and lively girl's voice rang out, and a girl of about Sixteen Years Old, wearing a White T-shirt, with a face six parts similar to Chen Yan's and smooth skin with a slightly wheat-yellow tint, walked out of the Chu Fang.

The moment she saw Chen Yan, the girl's large pupils, as if stained with Starlight, smiled very brightly.

"How did a girl grow so tall?"

Chen Yan said with a Laughing complaint; Sister Chen Yu was only Sixteen Years Old now, but she was already 1.7 meters tall, only half a head shorter than him, and among girls, she was definitely standing out from the crowd.

Chen Yan soon noticed a slight abrasion on Chen Yu's left Wrist.

This must have been left over from the car accident.

However, to only suffer such a minor injury in a car accident was the greatest of fortunes within misfortune.

"If you talk about my height again, I won't pay attention to you."

Chen Yu deliberately pulled a face and muttered as she looked at Chen Yan, but the next moment she noticed the wounds on Chen Yan's body and asked with concern:

"Brother, the wounds on your body..."

Chen Yan's injuries were not heavy, but combined with his torn clothes, he looked quite miserable.

"Just an accidental injury." Chen Yan casually brushed it off and asked again:

"Where is Dad?"

"Dad said he went to buy some vegetables."

As Chen Yu's voice fell, Chen Yan nodded and finally breathed a sigh of relief; he had to have a good talk with his father tonight.

Now, it was about Sister's car accident today.

Just as he was about to speak, Chen Yu walked into the Chu Fang:

"Dinner will be ready soon, Brother, go change your clothes first, you're all dirty."

"Let me do it."

"Ew~"

Chen Yu's voice of Disappointment came:

"Brother, why don't you have any self-awareness."

Chen Yan pursed his lips; what did that mean, was his cooking that bad?

He would ask about the car accident after eating, Chen Yan thought to himself as he walked into the house.

Inside the Chu Fang.

Chen Yu continued to stir-fry; in the pot were bacon and Chinese cabbage, the lard was being rendered out from the bacon, and the whole Chu Fang was filled with a rich aroma.

"Your brother hasn't even achieved the Awakening of Qi and Blood, he is a bit too mediocre compared to you."

Within the Chen Yu Yi Shi, a blurry figure in a Red Skirt stood quietly and said softly:

"I haven't achieved the Awakening of Qi and Blood either." Chen Yu pursed her lips and smiled indifferently, but although she was speaking, there was no sound of her in the Chu Fang.

"That is different; your talent in the Formation Array is one in ten thousand, and the Awakening of Qi and Blood is just an optional matter."

The Woman's voice rang in Chen Yu's brain again; Chen Yu pursed her red lips and just quietly stir-fried the vegetables.

"There is no end to the Martial Dao, you must always learn to let go; a bottle of Qi-Blood Beverage costs five hundred, enough to buy you a carving plate for a basic Array, yet you used it to buy a useless Qi Blood Elixir for your brother."

Inside her brain, the Woman sighed.

"Because I can't afford the Qi Blood Elixir." Chen Yu muttered, and the Woman's voice in her brain clearly paused.

"You must become strong as soon as possible; the Five Clans' Struggle will begin soon, and you are still at the Awakening Stage, too weak."

"If it weren't for me, the car this morning would have already turned you into a Corpse; they have already made their move."

As the Woman's voice fell, Chen Yu's hand stir-frying the vegetables paused, and a sense of Anger appeared in her eyes.

"Was it really them who did it?"

"It should be them; besides them, I don't know who else it could be."

The Red Skirt Woman said softly:

"Your brother is still alive because he is not strong, and has no possibility of becoming strong, but you are different; you will be very strong in the future, and your family will only ever be able to see your back. Leaving them is your best choice."

Chen Yu frowned, and her expression became unpleasant:

"Teacher, what is the meaning of such a path to strength?"

The Red Skirt Woman was Stunned and stopped speaking, but she smiled and sighed softly, as if she had already seen Chen Yu's future.

…………

"Why are you only telling me now!"

Inside a two-story self-built rural house, Hu Zeyuan looked at his Son, Hu Yuan, who was lying on the sofa, with extreme Anger.

"That little Beast dared to hit you, and you still endured it? How can you be so spineless!"

Hu Zeyuan's eyes were full of Disappointment and resentment; if someone hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known that his Son had been sent flying by Chen Yan's Fist.

Just now, he pulled up Hu Yuan's clothes and sure enough, he saw a large red mark on his Chest.

The more he looked, the angrier he got; his Son had always been suppressing Chen Yan, and for so many years, his family had also been suppressing the Chen Family.

He, Hu Zeyuan, looked down on Chen Yuhu's family from the bottom of his heart.

Now that his Son was weaker than Chen Yan in the Fist Power Test, and even beaten like this by Chen Yan, how could he not be angry?

"Coward!"

Hu Zeyuan gave a low shout and then left directly.

"Dad, what are you going to do?"

Hu Yuan hurriedly stood up to ask.

"Take care of yourself. Didn't you have an appointment with Zhang Qingsi tonight? Why haven't you left yet?" Hu Zeyuan left the courtyard directly.

Inside the living room, Hu Yuan opened his mouth, but in his mind, the scene of him being sent flying by a single punch from Chen Yan surfaced once again, and for some reason, he felt a chill.

But he was soon able to tidy his clothes and prepare to go out.

Father wanted him to be on good terms with Zhang Qingsi; this point was very important.

Over these past few days, he had increasingly understood the formidable nature of martial artists; no matter how hard they, the common folk, tried, they couldn't even touch a single hair of a martial artist.

As long as he was on good terms with Zhang Qingsi, in the future, perhaps a single word from Zhang Qingsi could change the fate of their entire family.

……

Chen Yuhu did not return to Jia Li until six o'clock in the evening.

In his hand, he was still carrying a bag of cold-dressed vegetables.

Inside the living room, Chen Yuhu set out the food, his eyes clearly carrying a trace of Fatigue.

Chen Yan sat down quietly, preparing to take out the Red-Haired Lingzhi during the meal; as for what Luo Puxin had said about sending someone to deliver Qingjiu Snake Meat, he did not intend to speak of it first.

If the Qingjiu Snake Meat was very valuable, and if Luo Puxin regretted it later, then their family would only end up with a hollow joy.

"Brother, serve the food!"

Inside the Chu Fang, the Sister's voice rang out.

"Alright."

A basin of stir-fried preserved meat with cabbage, a bowl of century egg with tofu, plus the cold-dressed beef Chen Yuhu had bought.

Such a feast happened only once or twice a month.

Today, Chen Yu had encountered a car accident, but she herself had only suffered abrasions, which was already a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune.

"Where did you go? Why do you have so many injuries on you?"

Only then did Chen Yuhu notice the abrasions on Chen Yan.

"I fell."

Chen Yuhu nodded and did not continue to ask about Chen Yan's injuries.

"Brother, I want to give you something." To the side, Chen Yu spoke with a mysterious Smile.

"Oh?" Chen Yan was somewhat surprised:

"I also have something to show everyone."

Chen Yuhu looked at the mysterious siblings, but there was no Smile in his eyes; he picked up a steamed bun, dipped it in the tofu, and stuffed it into his Mouth.

Soon, both siblings walked into the living room carrying their schoolbags.

Chen Yan was somewhat surprised, but seeing the expression full of joy on Chen Yu's face, his attention shifted to the schoolbag in his Sister's arms.

Could it be that there was another expert?

"Brother, here."

Chen Yu took a bottle of Qi-Blood Beverage out of her schoolbag, exactly the same as the one Wang Yang had given him before.

Chen Yan opened his Mouth, unable to resist Chen Yu's excitement, and took the bottle of Qi-Blood Beverage with one hand.

Yet, a question arose in his heart.

This bottle of Qi-Blood Beverage cost five hundred.

Where did Chen Yu get the money?

To the side, Chen Yuhu's Gaze was drawn to this bottle of Qi-Blood Beverage, and his expression gradually turned sour.

"Xiaoyu, where did you get the money to buy a Qi-Blood Beverage?" Chen Yuhu Frown.

"Dad, don't worry about it. Today is Brother..." Chen Yu was in the middle of saying.

"I told you to go to school, not to save money!" Chen Yuhu sighed lightly:

"What use is a Qi-Blood Beverage? Spending five hundred to buy this thing, don't you think it's a waste of money?"

Chen Yu pursed her lips; she looked at Chen Yan, looking slightly aggrieved, her Gaze carrying a plea for help.

Chen Yuhu sighed lightly, looking at Chen Yu, who was almost about to cry; he really didn't want to pursue the matter of this bottle of Qi-Blood Beverage anymore:

"Xiaoyu, your teacher sent word to me this morning, saying that your County No. 1 High School is going to establish a Qi Blood Impact Class. It's already been a month, why didn't you tell me?"

As Chen Yuhu spoke, he took a cloth bundle out of his pocket; something was clearly wrapped inside the worn-out floral cloth.

He handed it to Chen Yu:

"Take this when you go to school tomorrow."

Chen Yu's expression changed slightly, and she did not take the cloth bundle:

"I'm not participating, Dad."

Chen Yuhu's expression turned somewhat worse:

"Your teacher said your physical fitness is very good, and it is very likely you will achieve Awakening of Qi and Blood in your third year of high school. You must sign up for this class!"

"Dad!" Chen Yu still intended to speak, but Chen Yuhu waved his hand and said:

"Go sign up for the class."

Looking at Father and Sister, Chen Yan spoke:

"Dad, don't blame Xiaoyu. It's just a bottle of Qi-Blood Beverage. I today..."

"A bottle of Qi-Blood Beverage?" Chen Yuhu Frown, looking at Chen Yan, his eyes clearly showing anger, but the next moment it instantly extinguished.

He had no way to blame them too much.

The situation at Jia Li was like this all because he couldn't earn money.

"Xiaoyu, you take this bottle to drink. Teacher Wang Yang rewarded me with one the day before yesterday," Chen Yan said in a low voice, looking at Chen Yu, but meeting her aggrieved Pupil, he was suddenly speechless and accepted this bottle of Qi-Blood Beverage.

On an ordinary day, he certainly wouldn't drink it, and might even take it back to return it directly.

But thinking of the Red-Haired Lingzhi still in his schoolbag, Chen Yan found that this bottle of Qi-Blood Beverage didn't seem like such a big deal.

"Thank you, Xiaoyu." Chen Yan stroked Chen Yu's brain, laughing.

"Mm." Chen Yu broke into Laughter through her tears and nodded vigorously.

Inside Chen Yu's Consciousness World, the beautiful Red Skirt Woman saw everything that happened through Chen Yu's perspective.

She had intended to open her Mouth, but after sensing Chen Yu's emotions, she shook her head with a faint Laughter.

As a third party watching this scene, the Woman had never experienced such a scenario in her entire life.

Yet she could clearly perceive the difference between Chen Yan, who was Chen Yu's Brother, and Chen Yuhu.

Facing Chen Yu's Qi-Blood Beverage, the reason Chen Yuhu was angry was entirely understandable.

But Chen Yan, as her Brother, only offered a polite remark before accepting it.

Even though Chen Yan could guess how much his Sister had scrimped and saved for this bottle of Qi-Blood Beverage, he still accepted it.

Chen Yu was still young, yet she naturally thought of many things.

Is a child's mind simple?

Not necessarily; sometimes, the younger one is, the harder it is to let go of one's desires.

From a single bottle of Qi-Blood Beverage, one could already see much.

But the next moment, the Red Skirt Woman's Mu Jin changed slightly.

"Eat first."

Chen Yuhu said quietly, reaching out in Preparation to take a steamed bun from the basin, but his gaze shifted slightly, catching sight of something red.

It seemed to be what Chen Yan had just taken out of his schoolbag...

Wait a minute!

Chen Yuhu's eyes widened instantly, and he looked over with a Mammoth gaze.

"Red-Haired Spirit Mushroom!"
