Chapter 5: The Pride of Heaven
Li Wu practiced very devotedly, and after just a while, a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
Although his attitude is very upright, he does not have the slightest game mentality, but he is just a martial arts waste wood that cannot be practiced by iron meridians and stone veins, and it is the first time he has been in contact with cultivation, and this cultivation still does not feel the flow of true qi in his body.
Not to mention true qi, he didn't even know where the meridians in his body were.
This couldn't help but make Li Wu a little discouraged, and after cultivating for a while, he let the Holy Infant return to the space.
He wanted to wait until the Holy Child brought him a map of the meridians of the human body before cultivating, so that maybe the progress would be faster.
After leaving the cultivation secret room, Li Wu wanted to visit the entire family master's mansion, so he asked the little servant Ren Xing to take him to browse around the family master's mansion as if he were looking around.
This didn't matter, Li Wu found that the Chen family's head of the mansion was really not ordinarily big.
The Chen family's main mansion has a radius of more than 500 meters, covers an area of three or four hundred acres, the mansion is lined with green trees and pavilions, and there are rockeries and artificial lakes, there are small islands in the lake, there are beautiful white stone bridges built on the lake, and the whole mansion looks like a royal garden.
With such a big place, you won't be able to see it for a while.
Fortunately, Li Wu is not in a hurry, before he ascends to the Heavenly Realm, he will have to live here for a long time, and the future will be long.
After a cursory visit, Li Wu asked Ren Xing to take him to the front hall of the head of the family's mansion.
But as soon as he sat down in the antechamber, there was a sudden commotion in the courtyard.
Li Wu didn't know what was going on, and was about to let Ren Xing go out to have a look, when two big men suddenly broke in outside the hall door, followed by a thin middle-aged man.
This man's name is Sun Quan, and he is a domestic slave leader in the Chen family's governor's mansion, and he has the Qingmang Realm martial arts cultivation.
Sun Quan pointed at Li Wu with his hand, and said with a sneer: "Young Master Xianwu, last night, the high-level family members have made a decision to deprive you of your identity as the young family master. We came this time on the orders of the Grand Administrator to ask Young Master Xianwu to leave the Chen family immediately. ”
"What? I am the young head of the Chen family, the future head of the Chen family, why did you kick me out of the house?"
This surprise was not trivial, Li Wu could no longer be calm, and stood up directly from his seat.
He is the son of the head of the Chen family, and someone wants to deprive him of his status as the head of the young family, and is there any royal law?
It was only at this time that he understood what Ren Xing was worried about before.
It seems that he was happy a little early, and this crossing was not only not smooth sailing, but also very risky.
Sun Quan laughed a few times, and then said: "I'm sorry Young Master Xianwu, just last night's high-level meeting of the family, the chief steward has been elected as the acting head of the Chen family, just waiting for three months later, the family held an ancestor worship ceremony, and after paying tribute to the ancestors of the Chen family, the chief steward will officially ascend to the position of the head of the Chen family." Now that the Chen family has changed to a new head of the family, and the dynasty has changed, even if no one deprives you of your status as the young head of the family, in fact, you are not the young head of the Chen family. ”
What Sun Quan said is not unreasonable, the emperor has changed, and the crown prince will naturally have to be changed.
Li Wu was a little puzzled: "I am the only son of the head of the family, it stands to reason that I should inherit the position of the head of the family, why the second elder?"
Sun Quan sneered: "Young Master Xianwu, as the young head of the Chen family, you won't even know this, right?"
"Know what?"
Li Wu really didn't know anything, he only knew that the son inherited his father's business, and it was natural for the crown prince to inherit the throne.
Sun Quandao: "Because Young Master Xianwu is an iron meridian and stone vein, he can't practice at all, and he is not qualified to inherit the position of the head of the family." ”
The Li family is a family of monks and a family of martial arts, and it is true that a martial arts waste wood who cannot be practiced cannot be the head of the family.
Li Wu was still a little unwilling: "Even if I am not qualified to inherit the position of the head of the family, but I am the descendant of the Chen family after all, the mansion and family property here are all private property left to me by my father, what right do you have to drive me out of the house?"
Li Wu still doesn't believe it, even if he is a wasted person who can't practice through the iron meridians and stone veins, even if the head of the Chen family changes, his status as a young head can be deprived, but the identity of a descendant of his Chen family is innate, how can others be deprived at will?
Now, he doesn't have too many extravagant hopes, as long as he can keep the status of a wealthy family, he will be content.
Anyway, he was going to fly to the Heavenly Realm in the future, and he wasn't so interested in being the head of a family in the Mortal Realm.
As the saying goes, a good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, if the second elder father and son have a very high status in the Chen family, in the days before he ascended to the heavenly realm, it is a big deal that he will be low-key in the future, and just be a man with his tail between his legs.
I didn't want Sun Quan to say: "Young Master Xianwu, I'm really embarrassed, because you are not the real Miao descendant of the Chen family, but a righteous son adopted by the late family head and his wife. This high-level family meeting not only made a decision to deprive you of the status of the young head of the family, but also deprived you of the right to inherit the property of the deceased head of the family. ”
Not the own son of the head of the house, but the adopted son of the head of the house?
Li Wu really didn't know about this, and Chen Xianwu didn't have it in his memory.
If the person concerned does not know about the adoption of a child like this, it is impossible for an outsider to tell the person in person.
"Young Master Xianwu, I'm sorry!"
After Sun Quan finished speaking, he waved his hand at the two big men.
The two big men stepped forward, and without saying anything, they picked up the stunned Li Wu and walked towards the door.
Li Wu wanted to struggle, but helplessly, these two big men both possessed the cultivation of the Baimang Realm, and the four big hands clamped his arms like four vices, and they couldn't break free at all.
When he came to the courtyard, Li Wu saw that there were more than 20 wolf-like family members in the courtyard.
The servants of the head of the house were also driven into the courtyard, and counting the twenty or so family members, the men and women stood in a large area in the dark.
In addition to the servants and the family, there were also several young men in brocade clothes standing in the courtyard.
A brocade-clothed young man led by him walked up to Li Wu, looked at Li Wu and smiled.
This young man, Li Wu, also recognized that it was the person who injured him, Chen Yutian, the son of Chen Qingdai, the second elder of the Chen family.
Chen Yutian is seventeen years old this year, with a well-proportioned figure, a fair complexion, and a jewel blue splendid robe.
Although this kid is a son of Yushu Linfeng, he has an arrogant and domineering look on his face that has been pampered for a long time, and because he is the pride of the young generation of the Chen family, there is still a bit of arrogance in his eyes.
This Li Wu knew that Chen Yutian was not only born with a sixth-grade high-grade spiritual vein, but also had extremely high talent and understanding, and was the most outstanding young martial arts genius with the most outstanding cultivation potential among the younger generation of all the big families in Shannan County, not even one of them.
Chen Yutian was only thirteen years old and possessed the Baimang Realm martial arts cultivation.
In the Houtu Continent, most of the young monks under the age of thirteen were still in the body forging realm, and they had not even entered the qi refining realm.
And Chen Yutian, at the age of thirteen, was able to control and release the true qi in his body freely, so as to advance to the White Mang Realm, the fourteen-year-old Qingmang Realm, and the fifteen-year-old Blue Mang Realm, almost advancing at a big step of advancement speed every year.
Now seventeen-year-old Chen Yutian is already a Blue Mang Realm Great Completion Cultivator, if nothing else, he will reach the Blue Mang Realm Great Perfection Realm within a year, and even break through the shackles of the Red Mang Realm and enter the Red Mang Realm, which is comparable to several elder-level figures of the Chen family.
Such an advanced speed, in this remote and small place of Shannan County, is rare to see in a hundred years, and it can be called a mythical existence.
The major families of Shannan County hold a junior monk competition every year.
Before the competition, the major families will jointly contribute a part of the funds as the winner's lottery.
Since the age of fifteen, Chen Yutian has won the championship in the Shannan County Big Family Youth Martial Arts Competition for three consecutive years, winning countless bonuses, weapons, and pills, and the limelight has not only overshadowed all the young talents of the big families in Shannan County, but even some adult monks are only ashamed of themselves in front of Chen Yutian.
It is precisely because of his outstanding talent in martial arts cultivation that the Chen family has always attached great importance to Chen Yutian.
Even Chen Xianwu's father, Chen Qingyue, was very fond of Chen Yutian, the nephew of his own family, when he was alive, and asked the family to take out a large amount of cultivation resources for Chen Yutian's cultivation, and he spared no effort in Chen Yutian's cultivation.
Chen Qingyue's doing this had a lot to do with his own son Chen Xianwu's failure.
Of course, this is also the practice of most large families, because young talents represent the future of the family.
With Chen Yutian's martial arts cultivation talent, coupled with the family's vigorous cultivation, if time passes, he will definitely grow into one of the pillars of the Chen family in the future, and even become a pillar of the Chen family's next generation.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Yutian has always been a little empty-eyed and never takes his peers in his eyes.
Especially for Chen Xianwu, a cousin, Chen Yutian not only did not feel grateful because of the other treatment of the head of the family, Chen Qingyue, but was jealous of Chen Xianwu, the young head of the Chen family, thinking that Chen Xianwu was just a foreign boy, and he was also a martial arts waste wood with iron meridians and stone veins, and he was not qualified to be the young head of the Chen family at all, he was the most suitable person for the young head of the Chen family.
It was not surprising that Chen Yutian thought so, because according to the convention, if the head of the family had no heirs, he would select a leader with outstanding character and cultivation potential among the next generation to act as the young head of the family and serve as the heir of the future head of the family.
This is the practice of the major families and the major sects, and even the high-ranking royal families have always done this.
Chen Yutian always believed that if Chen Qingyue, the head of the family, had not adopted Chen Xianwu back then, he, as the leader of Chen Qingyue's nephew's generation, would be the most qualified candidate to be the young head of the family and the most qualified to inherit the position of the future head of the family.
It is precisely because of Chen Xianwu's existence that he is hindered from becoming the young head of the Chen family or even the head of the family, so the resentment in his heart is getting deeper and deeper, and he has always regarded Chen Xianwu as a thorn in the flesh, never taking Chen Xianwu, the young family master, in his eyes, and even often bullying Chen Xianwu, eager to slap Chen Xianwu to death, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Pifu is not guilty of his guilt, Chen Xianwu himself is not wrong, the fault is that he appeared in a place where he should not appear, and became a stumbling block in the way of others' ascent.
However, Chen Xianwu is also a stubborn person, he never knows how to back down, and he has always been-for-tat with Chen Yutian.
When the head of the family, Chen Qingyue, was alive, Chen Yutian didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and he could still have scruples.
After Chen Qingyue passed away, Chen Yutian no longer had any scruples, and even injured Chen Xianwu many times because of trivial things.
Especially this time, just because Chen Xianwu replied a few words when the two had a dispute, Chen Yutian's hand was very heavy, and he directly beat Chen Xianwu to death.
It was precisely for this reason that Li Wu's soul had an opportunity to cross over to Chen Xianwu's body.
