Chapter 272: Let's add a bit of a villain
In the Chu family, in a study room that looked very tasteful, Chu Yufei was sitting there face to face with a middle-aged man. At this moment, both of them had gloomy faces and pursed their lips, and such similar expressions perfectly confirmed the relationship between their father and daughter.
Chu's father, Chu Fuqin, is the second son of the current head of the Chu family, the old man Chu, and is a person who looks gentle and graceful on the surface, but in fact has a heart and ambition. The old man Chu is very old, and he is preparing to pass on the position of the head of the family to the younger generations for retirement, which has also caused the undercurrent within the Chu family.
The Chu family has a training that the head of the family must be a person who has no real power in the empire, which means that if you want to inherit the position of the head of the family, you need to abandon your current position. At present, the four men of Chu Fuqin's generation all have a good status in the empire, and on the surface, it seems that it is a great loss to resign and go home, but in fact, in a family like the Chu family, all the people in the family must respect the head of the family.
If you resign from your position, you will have the right to lead all the members of the family, which is equivalent to having the power of everyone.
This is definitely a big profit.
Originally, the new head of the family who was most favored by everyone was Chu Fuqin's eldest brother and the eldest son of Old Man Chu, but there were also some people who supported the others, especially after Chu Yufei became the Holy Maiden of Light.
The Holy Maiden of Light has more than just the honorable status of the Temple of Light, the royal family of the Empire and the people of the entire Empire will pay homage to her.
In the matter of inheriting the position of the head of the family, Chu Fuqin can be said to have been stained with the light of his daughter, and he has become the most promising candidate for succession.
But the position of the family has not yet arrived, and the position of his daughter is about to be unable to sit down.
What is this called!
"Damn, how could there be such a coincidence." Chu Fuqin's hand slapped heavily on the table, his breathing was a little heavy, and he gritted his teeth on his face, which was a little hideous.
Originally, Chu Yufei's position as a saint was a little embarrassed because of the holy tree, and before she could save it, she heard that the holy tree was very likely to be fake, and that it was true that the Chosen One was someone else. Hearing that Elder Li Qing had gone to investigate the truth of the day, Chu Fuqin was ready to find a time to have a secret conversation with him.
Chu Fuqin thought that he was very accurate in seeing people, and he also knew in his heart what Elder Li Qing's purpose was when he would find his daughter in the first place. Cooperating with the Chu family is a good thing for Li Qing, at least his position under him alone will definitely not be threatened.
And the only person above him is dedicated to cultivation and rarely pays attention to the things in the temple, which is quite his heart.
As for this true saintess, I'm afraid Elder Li Qing doesn't want to see it either.
Chu Fuqin was right, but he didn't expect that before he could contact the secret talk, Chu Yufei hurried back.
When she came back like this yesterday, she brought back bad news, and when she saw her daughter's appearance today, Chu Fuqin's heart jumped at that time.
The woman was far away and veiled, and she didn't know who it was. But everyone knows that the Holy Monarch never comes into contact with women, and today he actually led the way for that person himself! ”
Chu Yufei, who was sitting opposite Chu Fuqin, frowned, and the hand on his lap tightened unconsciously, wrinkling out the folds of the smooth and exquisite white robe.
Thinking of the look that Shenjun looked at her before, the cold eyes without a trace of emotion, Chu Yufei was frightened, and she was still a little annoyed and unwilling.
If she really has divine grace, she is the most trusted person by the God of Light, then what qualifications does the Divine Monarch have to look at her like this!
Chu Yufei's expression on his face changed, but it calmed down the person opposite.
Glancing at his daughter's fingertips, which were a little white, Chu Fuqin suddenly sighed.
His daughter can't hide things from her face, she is still too young.
"Yufei, don't worry, the saint was set in front of everyone during the blessing ceremony, and this fact cannot be easily changed. Even if the masked woman you mentioned had any identity, it would be too late, after all, she did not accept the grace of God in front of everyone. ”
Chu Fuqin's words made Chu Yufei slightly relieved and regained her senses.
What my father said was right, everyone only recognized the holy tree and did not recognize the holy woman, and even if there was really a chosen person, it would be too late, and whoever let everyone see the holy tree was blessed by God.
Suddenly I thought the tree was pretty good.
A sneer appeared on Chu Yufei's face.
"However, the existence of this person is a threat after all, let's see what Elder Li Qing says first." Chu Fuqin picked up a cup and took a sip of black tea, and suddenly remembered something.
Putting the cup back on the table, he admonished: "That person is very dangerous, although he rarely takes care of things, but even Li Qing doesn't dare to make small moves in front of him. This time, he admitted your identity, I'm afraid it's only for the sake of the empire, it doesn't mean that he recognizes you, and it's best not to appear in front of him if you try to have as little contact as possible with him in the future. ”
The origin of this person is very mysterious, the specific age is unknown, and even his name has only been heard by a few people.
His strength makes no one dare to disrespect him, and Li Qing has always been jealous of this person in power who does not like to manage things.
Hearing her father's words, Chu Yufei's mind flashed Bai Fuzhou's god-like face and sacred and inviolable temperament, and she immediately pursed her lips.
The supreme strength of the unparalleled appearance is an excellent attraction for young girls. It's not that Chu Yufei didn't have inexplicable thoughts, but when she thought of those silver eyes, no matter how much thought she wanted, she was extinguished.
"My daughter understands." Chu Yufei pursed her lips.
"By the way, you said there are two things, and what about the other?" Chu Fuqin asked.
As soon as she picked up the teacup, Chu Yufei remembered her unlucky brother.
"Chu Ting was given some kind of spell, and he passed out and fell unconscious."
"What did you say!" Chu Fuqin stood up and exclaimed.
Taken aback by his father's reaction, Chu Yufei hurriedly restrained his casual appearance when he saw that his face was not good, and told everything that had just happened.
She doesn't like this younger brother and her father likes it, and she still has to do enough drama.
"Father, don't worry, now my brother is in the temple. Before, Shenjun personally checked his situation, and the spell had been controlled, but it was not clear what it was. ”
Seeing that Chu Fuqin was still anxious, Chu Yufei continued: "You don't have to worry so much, if the Divine Monarch has no choice, who else in this world can break the curse, Chu Ting is the safest in the Divine Temple." ”
This is the truth, light magic is the most powerful healing spell, if the god monarch can't do it, then just prepare for the aftermath.
"No, I need to take a look!"
Chu Fuqin is really worried about his son, now that Chu Ting is unconscious, where can he still sit.
"What people! Don't approach the forbidden place in the study, leave quickly! ”
