Chapter 147: The Struggle of the Five Clans

The dim yellow Yan Deng shone on Chen Yu's slightly stunned face.

Being squinted at by Chen Yan like this, Chen Yu's bright, watery pupils were full of astonishment:

"Brother, how did you know..."

Chen Yan smiled faintly and shook his head; during the time it took to eat a meal, Chen Yu's eyes were either looking at Si Wenyi or looking at him.

In the eyes of a fifteen-year-old girl, that look of wanting to say something but holding back was too easy to guess.

Soon, Chen Yu pulled Chen Yan and walked toward Yuan Wai.

"It's so late, what are you two going to do?"

Chen Yuhu, who was still washing the pot, hurriedly walked out from the kitchen simply built with wood.

"Dad, I have something to discuss with my brother!" Chen Yu hurriedly spoke up.

"What could there be that you can't say at home..." Chen Yuhu muttered and sighed.

The children are grown up now.

The night was like a deep, intricate tapestry; the night was quiet, and a cool breeze came slowly.

On Xiang Lu.

Chen Yu's hands were tangled together, constantly fidgeting with her fingers, as if she were brewing something in her heart.

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes and suddenly said in a low voice:

"Are you in a relationship?!"

"Ah?" Chen Yu hurriedly let out a sound and quickly reached out her hands:

"No!"

Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief; that was good.

"I joined the Gong Family..." Chen Yu said in a small voice.

Chen Yan's heart, which had just relaxed, jumped instantly, and he stared stiffly at his sister:

"You joined..."

Chen Yu's face flushed red, as if she knew her Lao Ge would have this reaction, and she said in a rapid tone:

"Lao Ge is targeted by the Chu Family and has joined the Military Martial Guard, so you must be an enemy of the Gong Family; I joined the Gong Family to help you..."

As Chen Yu spoke, her voice grew quieter and quieter, and she lowered her brain.

Opposite her.

Chen Yan held his forehead.

Honestly, even if he were facing a Malice Crystal, he wouldn't feel like this.

Chen Yu's one sentence left him unable to react for a long while.

Chen Yan took a deep breath.

Joining the Gong Family, no, being an Undercover in the Gong Family.

What kind of development is this?

Hasn't Sister been attending classes all this time?

Also, why would the Gong Family choose Sister?

Even if she were chosen, once they saw she was Chen Yu, Chen Yan's sister, they would be on guard.

In Chen Yan's brain, it was a mess.

Opposite him, Chen Yu was also seeing her Lao Ge like this for the first time, so she said slowly:

"I have a teacher who has been teaching me Arrays; I am very strong now, very powerful.

I can use Arrays to change my appearance, and I can also make Array Puppets to replace myself..."

Chen Yan's Mu Guang was stunned.

He had actually felt some changes in his sister for a long time.

But because he had too little time himself, he had deliberately ignored them.

Crackle...

Streaks of Golden Light emerged from Chen Yu's hands.

Chen Yan initially only showed a look of surprise, but when the Golden Light in Chen Yu's hands transformed and completely condensed into a strange, agile Array Disk.

Chen Yan's body stiffened in place.

This isn't...

Teacher Wen Xin?

Seeing Chen Yan completely stiff, Chen Yu reached out and waved in front of Chen Yan.

Confirming that Chen Yan was extremely Stunned at this moment.

Although she pouted and made a face like she had done something wrong, Chen Yu felt extremely satisfied inside.

Right.

This is exactly how it is.

She had dreamed about what kind of expression her brother would have after her strength was exposed.

Surprised, right?

Is your sister a genius?

Happy, right?

What Chen Yu didn't know was that the shock in Chen Yan's heart at this moment came not only from the profoundness and power of this Array Disk.

But also from the fact that the teacher he had been beating up all along was actually his sister's teacher.

"Xiaoyu, you..." Chen Yan began.

"Actually, it's not that I'm very amazing."

"It's because I have a very extraordinary Master, who urges me day and night, every single moment, and that is why I can be like this."

Chen Yu touched her Brain, speaking with some embarrassment.

Chen Yan fell into Silence, but quickly sensed a trace of something wrong.

"Every single moment... what does that mean?"

Chen Yu was Stun, and within the Consciousness World, the Red Skirt Woman also parted her lips slightly.

Immediately following, she rubbed her brow in helplessness.

Chen Yu was being overly modest.

In an instant, she had exposed her.

She was definitely going to be exposed, but she shouldn't have used a phrase like "every single moment."

The Red Skirt Woman was speechless; her Disciple was usually so calm, but why was she so emotionally agitated in front of her Brother?

Her precious Disciple was, after all, only fifteen years old.

"Your Master... is she a man or a woman?!"

Chen Yan's voice turned cold, exceptionally vigilant.

He looked around, his five senses exploding to their absolute limit at this moment.

If the other party could supervise his Sister every single moment, then they must be nearby.

It was just, why hadn't he sensed them?

Chen Yan's heart did Sink; the other party was very powerful, actually able to block his Perception.

Also, the other party had been following his Sister the whole time; what exactly was their purpose?

"Brother..."

Chen Yu noticed Chen Yan's abnormality and hurriedly grabbed Chen Yan's sleeve, saying pitifully:

"My Master is a woman."

Chen Yan fell into Silence, then cupped his Fist and looked around:

"Could the Senior please come out for a chat? My Sister being able to have such achievements—as her Brother, Chen Yan is Ten Thousand times grateful."

Chen Yan performed a salute; he naturally felt gratitude in his heart.

But more than that, there was suspicion and vigilance.

Anything uncertain could potentially transform into a massive danger that could Slaughter himself and his family.

Chen Yu stood Stun on the spot, pursing her red lips.

In the eyes of an outsider, her Lao Ge looked extremely respectful.

But Chen Yu knew.

There were many things on Chen Yan's mind.

"Master..., I'm sorry..." Chen Yu whispered in her heart.

"You..." The Red Skirt Woman shook her head:

"Don't you know what kind of person your Brother is?"

The Red Skirt Woman felt helpless.

The violence hidden deep within the heart of this seemingly clear and bright Youth was something that even she found extremely surprising.

If one were to say the other party was a careless person, that would be completely impossible.

At this moment, he had likely already viewed her as an unstable threat.

Thinking this, the Red Skirt Woman waved one hand.

Before Chen Yu, rays of red light emerged, forming a blurry Hong Ying.

"You don't need to look anymore; I am within Xiaoyu's Yi Shi Zhi Nei. When Xiaoyu discovered me, I was only a Residual Soul."

The red light blurred, and the Red Skirt Woman's voice sounded:

"You may rest assured; I treat Xiaoyu as my closed-door Disciple and will not do anything bad to Xiaoyu."

Chen Yan looked at the red light before him and smiled at this moment:

"Senior has misunderstood; Chen Yan is very grateful and will not be worried."

The Red Skirt Woman pursed her Mouth.

You act very well.

If I hadn't seen your true face, I would have truly believed your nonsense.

This respectful posture now is likely because you have no Method to deal with a Divine Soul, which is why you are like this.

Indeed.

At this moment, Chen Yan was thinking almost exactly the same thing.

The other party could enter his Sister's consciousness; if they were unhappy, they might directly destroy his Sister's consciousness.

At this moment, Chen Yan could only play along.

"I cannot tell you my identity, but I must still ask you to rest assured, Chen Yan."

"I am not a bad person."

The Red Skirt Woman spoke again, and the next moment she Disappear.

Chen Yan felt conflicted in his heart.

According to the current situation, the other party had no intention of harming his Sister.

But one must always be on guard against others.

This Woman is not like the Po Saint Tree; the other party is human.

As long as there are people, there will be good and bad.

He exposed his strength to those who were friendly to him, or to those who could not harm him.

In this way, he could contend for benefits.

But if he were to expose it all without distinction,

if he told the Outer Realm today that he had a Limit-Breaking Awakening, Chen Min would likely send people to capture him by tomorrow.

That would be an idiot.

Being able to survive can only be said to be the work of Fate.

Chen Yan sat on a stone beside him and glanced at his sister, who was at a loss:

"Xiaoyu, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Chen Yu nodded, her heart tangled; the way her Brother looked clearly showed he was feeling heartache for her.

Actually, she was doing very well; after going to the Tianbei Fist Tournament, she had plenty to eat and drink.

Except for a very small number of people, others could not stop her as she slaughtered her way upward.

On the contrary, it was her Brother who clearly felt more tired at this moment.

"Brother, my teacher is truly very good to me."

"Mm, I know," Chen Yan said with a smile.

"The Chu Family Family Head was actually killed by my teacher."

"Hm?"

Chen Yan was surprised.

Chen Yu sat down and leaned against Chen Yan's shoulder, swaying her body:

"There are some other things I need to say, regarding the Five Clans."

Chen Yu began.

Chen Yan's body trembled, though he did not show any other strangeness at this moment.

"When the Great Xia was founded, the Xia Zhu and the Five Clans bathed together in the blood of an Ancient God," Chen Yu whispered:

"The Five Clans and the Xia Zhu were originally comrades-in-arms; after the founding of the nation, they were each enfeoffed as kings. At first, everything was normal, but as time went on, this model became unfeasible.

The Five Clans' strength grew stronger and stronger, and the offspring they birthed became more and more numerous.

Therefore, apart from the lands where the Five Clans were originally located, there are also Five Clans bloodlines within the borders of Great Xia."

Chen Yan's Mu Guang flashed:

"Are you saying that our family is also of the Five Clans bloodline?"

"Yes!" Chen Yu said:

"We are the Chen Family bloodline; there might even be a dozen or dozens of Chen Family bloodlines in all of Qinzhou."

Chen Yan was silent, clues outlining themselves one by one in his heart.

"The Five Clan Chen Family doesn't pay too much attention to these Side Branches, but because we all have the Chen Family bloodline, we all have the possibility of Bloodline Awakening.

So every once in a while, the Five Clan Chen Family sends people to verify the talent and strength of us people, and then they focus on cultivating us."

Chen Yu looked at Chen Yan and continued:

"Especially this time.

There is a bloodline struggle among the Five Clans, and the Five Clans' Struggle will be held next year.

The Five Clan Chen Family will select those outstanding Side Branches in every province to participate, but the quotas are limited, and the resources are limited."

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes, a trace of coldness emerging in his heart.

In this way, everything made sense.

Chen Yan's family and the Lao City Chen Family were actually both Side Branches of the Five Clan Chen Family.

Among the dozens of Chen Family Side Branches in all of Qinzhou, the Lao City Chen Family was the strongest.

The Lao City Chen Family knew that the other Side Branches would compete with them for the quotas for the Five Clans' Struggle.

But they did not dare to offend the main clan.

Therefore, they secretly implemented a blockade against the Side Branches throughout Qinzhou.

They did not allow any Side Branch that could threaten the Lao City Chen Family to grow up.

An invisible blockade.

Even though the Lao City Chen Family was already that powerful, they were still this vigilant, fearing that a Side Branch might surpass them.

How sinister.
