Chu Jiawei Chu Si and others in the Chu family's mansion half-knelt on the ground, bowing their heads, waiting for the head of the family, Chu Ming, to speak.

"He helped you get rid of the troubles of the clan and led you out of the broken forest?" Chu Ming asked slowly after a long time.

"Yes...... Young Master Chu doesn't seem to be the Young Master Chu of the year anymore, and he has changed very much. Old Chu Si's face flushed.

These Chu Jiawei were ordered to protect Chu Duan, and then bring him back to the family safely.

In the end, things were the opposite, and the experienced Chu Dui brought their group of Chu Jiawei who were trapped in the broken forest back to the family safely.

Chu Si has been in the Chu family for so many years, and he is already a veteran soul pet master, but this kind of humiliating thing happened, how can he be embarrassed...... "Family master, don't you see the young master?" Chu Si glanced at Chu Ming and asked.

"It's good to be able to come back safely, and it's better not to see it. Chu Si, you step back first. Chu Ming asked.

Chu Si nodded, bowed, and then withdrew.

"Father, Chu Duan seems to have indeed changed, I took a quick look at it just now, and I can feel his restrained temperament, a bit of a mysterious feeling, I can't completely see through it." Boss Chu Tianheng said slowly.

"Then do you think his current strength can enter the recommendation." Chu Ming looked at Chu Tianheng.

Chu Tianheng is Chu Ming's eldest son, Chu Ming also knows his character very well, Chu Tianheng usually rarely speaks, calm and calm, but he can see people very accurately, so Chu Tianheng can't see through Chu Duan, Chu Ming is a little surprised.

"For the time being, I don't know Chu Duan's true strength, it shouldn't be true that he can kill Yang Jie, but Chu Xing and Chu He's strength is also above Yang Jie. The recommendation is more dangerous, Chu Duan is a little younger, and it is easy to suffer, so let Chu Xing and Chu He deal with it, after all, they have been preparing for this time for a long time, and they will have more ways to deal with it. Chu Tianheng said.

"Well, let's follow the original arrangement." Chu Ming nodded.

………… Chu Duan's courtyard is located on the east side of the Chu family's house, open the window, you can see the rising sun rising over the horizon where the birds fly in the morning, and then, the clean rays of sunlight will fall in front of Chu Duan's window...... Chu Duan hadn't felt this way for a long time, and when he woke up, Chu Duan felt like he had returned to four years ago, and his experience in the past four years was nothing more than a tense nightmare.

"Woo woo woo ~~~~~~"

The sleepy little Mo Xie moved his body to prevent the sunlight from affecting his sleep, Chu Duan stroked the little guy's hair, gently put it on the pillow, and then let his slave come in and serve him to get up and change clothes.

The maid has changed, not the original maid, Chu Duan is not too used to it, after washing up and changing into clean clothes, the lazy little Mo Ye finally woke up, ran to the basin and washed his lovely cheeks, and then shook his little head and shook the water.

"The weather was nice." After returning to the family, Chu Duan was also in a good mood, and his only regret was that his father was not there.

When he returned yesterday, Chu Duan had also seen most of the people in the Chu family, and he was able to see familiar and amiable faces, and Chu Duan was also excited and relieved in his heart.

Of course, Chu Duan is not such a simple teenager now, and he also knows which people in the family are good to him, and which people are always indifferent to him, and Chu Duan has always treated them as if they did not exist.

"Young master, the head of the family let you go to the lobby after having morning tea." The maidservant said to Chu Duan.

Chu Duan nodded, sent the maidservants, and fed their soul pets breakfast one after another, so that he could fill his stomach.

…… When he arrived at the lobby, Chu Duan could clearly feel that there were more members of the Chu family gathered in the lobby today, and it seemed that there was going to be a big family meeting.

"Chu Duan, come to grandpa." Chu Ming summoned Chu Duan to his side in front of everyone and let Chu Duan sit next to his main seat.

Chu Ming had already seen Chu Duan last night, and it was the first time that Chu Duan had seen this old man's tearful appearance.

Grandpa Chu Ming has always loved Chu Dui, even if Chu Duan can't summon a soul pet at all, he still doesn't have any prejudice against Chu Duan, and protects Chu Duan everywhere, Chu Dui's relationship with his grandfather Chu Ming is naturally deep.

Last night, seeing Chu Ming's old appearance as if he had aged for ten years in those four years, Chu Duan secretly made up his mind that when he returned this time, he must let the Chu family rise in Gangluo City!

"Originally, grandpa was supposed to set up a big banquet for you to wash the dust for your return, but now the Chu family is also in an eventful season, and it is time to recommend, and after the recommendation, grandpa will give you a grand coming-of-age ceremony." Chu Ming said.

Chu Duan nodded, didn't say anything, and his eyes swept over the members of the Chu family who were present today.

The Chu family is divided into two lines, one is Chu Ming, the head of the Chu family, and the other is Chu Nan, the head of the second family.

Chu Ming has a total of six sons, the eldest son Chu Tianheng and the second son Chu Tianlin, these two Chu Duans have already met, Chu Tianlin is an impulsive person, a hot-blooded uncle. He also took the most care of Chu Duan.

His son Chu Ning and Chu Tianlin have the same personality, and they are bloody and strong, and they are the most intolerant of some people's villains.

Chu Tianheng, the uncle of Chu Duan, is a restrained middle-aged man, who is introverted and calm, and everything in the family needs to go through him. Chu Tianheng has a son and a daughter, Chu Xing and Chu Xian.

Chu Xing is the eldest brother of the third generation of the Chu family, and he is also the strongest among the young people of the Chu family, and Chu Xian is the eldest sister of the Chu family, but she was favored by the Great Chu family in the early years, and now she is a female disciple of the inner clan in the Great Chu family, and it is said that she is also famous.

Chu Ming's third son, Chu Tianqi. Chu Tianqi died in the wild a few years ago.

His son Chu He is the second master of the Chu family's youth, and he has attracted the attention of the Chu family.

Chu Ming's fourth son, Chu Tiancheng, is Chu Duan's father. Chu Tiancheng is from the Great Chu family, and the family rumors are that because of the dispute over the successor of the Great Chu family, Chu Tiancheng, who is weak and weak, was squeezed out and assigned to this extremely remote Chu family in Gangluo City...... Chu Ming's fifth son, Chu Tianren, Chu Tianren is outside to take care of the family's property, and only one daughter, Chu Yishui, is the youngest sister in the family.

Chu Ming's sixth son, Chu Tianjue, is in charge of the retainers of the Chu family, second only to the eldest son Chu Tianheng in power, and his daughter Chu Ying is second only to Chu He in strength, and is the more domineering eldest lady in the family.

There is also a young master named Chu Lang in the side line of the Chu family, whose strength ranks among the top five among the young people of the Chu family, and this Chu Lang is also very valued by the Chu family.

The other is the head of the two families, Chu Nan. There are not many heirs on Chu Nan's side, Chu Nan only has one son, Chu Tianjing, and his grandson Chu Yi.

Chu is also the most arrogant young master of the Chu family, and his strength is barely the fifth among the young people of the Chu family.

Chu Yi was presumptuous by nature, causing a lot of family trouble to the Chu family, and he was mean and rude, Chu Duan was often sneered at by this guy when he couldn't summon soul pets before and was not qualified to become the next generation of soul pets in the family.

When Chu Duan and Chu Jiawei returned yesterday, Chu Yi used a sentence intentionally or unintentionally to sarcastically mock Chu Dui: "There is another moth in the family." ”

Chu is also the only grandson of Chu Nan, the head of the second family, and it can be said that he is a collection of favors, and no one will provoke this bully of the Chu family on weekdays.

Of course, the Chu family also has someone who can control this guy, that is the eldest brother Chu Xing, Chu Xing is the strongest, if Chu Yi does something excessive, Chu Xing will not care whether the second grandfather Chu Nan loves this kid or not, and beats him hard.

Chu Duan returned yesterday, and Chu Xing didn't want to ruin the atmosphere of the brothers' reunion, so he didn't bother to deal with this guy who had already known his temperament.

And today's morning meeting in the lobby of the Chu family, Chu Duan could also see this Chu Yi's disdainful gaze. If it was before, Chu Duan might still be a little annoyed, but now, it is completely as if that bad guy does not exist.

…… This morning's meeting was clearly about the recommendation in three months' time.

The recommendation is the most important competition in Gangluo City, and the top five young masters are selected by the major families to conduct an open competition in the entire Gangluo City.

The original meaning of the recommendation is not to compete in strength between the major families, but to be able to select a few particularly outstanding people from the major families, recommend them to Luoyu City, and continue to participate in the selection.

However, with the intensification of the contradictions between the major families in Gangluo City, this matter of recommending young masters to Luoyu City has become secondary, firstly, it is indeed difficult to compare the young masters of these families in Gangluo City with those masters of Luoyu who gather in many cities, and secondly, the people recommended here are generally determined by the city lord Yang family, after all, the entire Luoyu is the world of the Yang family.

So now, the recommendation has gradually evolved into a competition between the young generations of the major families at the expense of the territory!

Whether a family is prosperous or not, its financial strength and extensive connections are one of the important factors, and more importantly, the possession of the territory.

The most indispensable thing for any family is a powerful soul pet master, and many of the soul pet sources of the soul pet master are through the family, on the one hand, through purchase, and on the other hand, through the territory.

The family's territory generally has obvious signs, and soul pet masters outside the clan are not allowed to capture and hunt soul pets in it.

This kind of territory is often very rich in soul pet resources, which can provide all kinds of soul pet needs to soul pet masters, and if there is a surplus in supply, it can also be sold to other forces, and the benefits obtained from it are also very huge.

Generally speaking, a sixth-level ordinary territory can capture at least four commander-level soul pets with good qualifications every year, as well as other general-level and slave-level soul pets, and it is also possible to select soul pets with outstanding qualifications that are not inferior to the commander-level soul pets from the competition, so that many masters with commander-level soul pets have been invisibly cultivated for the family!

Therefore, the territory is the most important resource of the family, and it is the lifeblood to maintain the development of a family!

…… This meeting is obviously to determine the five members of this recommendation competition, and these five members, in fact, everyone present knows it in their hearts.

"This time, it will be led by Chu Xing, and the members are Chu He, Chu Yi, Chu Ying, and Chu Lang."

"I hope you can fight for your family to get this territory back!"

Chu Ming's gaze swept over the five people sitting down, and he said seriously.

"Yes!!"

The five of them all nodded seriously and took on the important task of the Chu family.

Hearing that there was no Chu Duan among the names of the five people, Chu Ning and Chu Tianlin immediately showed puzzled expressions, they had already told Chu Dui's strength to the head of the family Chu Ming, Chu Ming should consider including Chu Dui in it.

"Grandpa, why don't you let Chu Duan compete?" At this time, Chu Ning suddenly spoke.

Chu Ning had seen the battle between Chu Duan and Yang Jie, although Chu Duan could only summon two soul pets, his strength was comparable to those soul masters, if he could be allowed to participate in the battle, the hope of winning this recommendation was definitely very great.

"Yes, father, Chu Duan's strength is very strong now, his Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox seems to have reached the fifth rank, and the Night Thunder Dream Beast also has a fifth rank and a fifth order. Isn't that enough to be in the top five of this generation? Chu Tianlin was also very surprised by Chu Ming's announcement.

"Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox!! Night Thunder Dream Beast! ”

When Chu Tianlin said Chu Dui's soul pet, it immediately caused an uproar from everyone!

The Night Thunder Dream Beast and the Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox are both rare soul pets, and if they are cultivated, their strength is indeed enough to compete with the top five members of the Chu family!

"Chu Duan has just returned to the family, and he must be very tired, so there is no need to participate in such a dangerous battle." Chu Ming opened his mouth and said.

"But......" Chu Tianlin and Chu Ning both wanted to say something.

Chu Ming frowned and motioned to the two of them not to say more.

"Grandpa, since Chu Duan can summon soul pets now, he should contribute to our family, it just so happened that the little sister pestered me a few days ago, and asked me to take him to our clan land to help her capture the soul pet, so let's let Chu Duan accompany the little sister to our territory, and I also happen to spend time training my soul pet." Chu Yi said very inappropriately.

"Well, that's fine, Chu Duan, you can rest and rest these days, and if you have time, accompany your little sister to the territory to go shopping, there is no problem, right?" The second family master, Chu Nan, also nodded, and excluded Chu Duan without waiting for Chu Ming to speak.

Chu Duan glanced at Chu Nan, but just nodded indifferently and said, "There's no problem." ”

Chu Duan got the new soul pet Mo Ye, and Xiao Mo only had three stages and five orders, and it was precisely because he needed to rely on some low-level soul pet battles to accumulate combat experience and grow and transform rapidly.

Chu Ming deliberately glanced at Chu Dui, and seeing that he didn't have any dissatisfaction, he also nodded, and his eyes swept over everyone.

"Then that's all for today, let's retreat." Chu Ming said to everyone.

Everyone also nodded, saluted and left, seemingly talking about the Night Thunder Dream Beast and the Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox owned by Chu Dui.

…… Soon there were only Chu Duan, Chu Ming, Chu Tianheng, and Chu Tianlin who was indignant about what had just happened in the lobby.

"Father, what are you doing, Chu Duan is no longer the Chu Duan of the past, he is enough to support the heavy responsibility of our family, why should you exclude him!" Chu Tianlin was anxious, and said the words he was holding back in one breath.

Chu Ming didn't pay attention to Chu Tianlin, but he glanced at Chu Duan, and said slowly: "Chu Duan, you should be able to understand the reason why Grandpa didn't let you participate, right?" ”

Chu Duan nodded and said, "Grandpa doesn't want anything to happen to me again, and grandpa should want me to exercise for a few more years to participate in the next recommendation." ”

Chu Ming and Chu Tianheng both nodded approvingly.

Both of them had indeed guessed that Chu Duan's strength was now strong enough to turn the situation around.

But after all, Chu Duan can only summon two soul pets now, and his age is a little lighter than the previous ones, so it is very dangerous to participate in the competition.

Rather than doing this, it is better to let Chu Duan, who is full of potential, develop for a few years first, and then participate in this competition after five years, when he will definitely be able to sweep all the masters in Gangluo City!

"You have this heart, grandpa is very pleased, just now I was worried that you would feel that grandpa snubbed you. You can now be said to be our family's winning weapon, and I believe that in five years, you will definitely be shocked by the entire Gonro City! Chu Ming patted Chu Dui on the shoulder and said seriously.

Chu Duan just nodded, but what he thought in his heart was completely different from Chu Ming!

"Then first wronged you to accompany Yishui to the clan land, you can also go there to hone and hone, if you need anything, just tell grandpa, grandpa will do everything possible to give it to you." Chu Ming said.

"Thank you, grandpa." Chu Duan said.

"Well, you go down first, and I'll discuss some things with your uncle and second uncle." Chu Ming said to Chu Duan.

Chu Duan gave a simple salute, slowly took a step, and walked towards the outside of the lobby.

Seeing Chu Duan leave so calmly, Chu Tianheng's eyes also changed slightly, and he said: "Chu Duan is indeed mature, he didn't say more than half a word in that situation just now, and he didn't even have a trace of change in his eyes, this city and calmness are not something ordinary people can have." ”

Chu Ming also nodded in agreement and said, "I believe he will bring hope to our Chu family." ”

………… Leaving the lobby and facing the wide courtyard of the Chu family, Chu Duan stood there quietly, like a still statue.

After a long time, Chu Duan slowly floated a smile and said secretly in his heart:

Five years?

It doesn't take that long at all. Three months later, the entire city of Gangro shook itself!!!

…… The power of the Nightmare Demon Palace is huge, it is not comparable to a Luo Domain, and Chu Duan, who has the supreme status in the Nightmare Demon Palace, is already among the top masters. In the entire Luo Domain, I am afraid that only the Luo Yu Nightmare who has already been well-known inside and outside can compete with Chu Duan, and the other characters Chu Duan don't need to pay attention to it at all.

Now, Chu Duan is enough to sweep through Gangluo City. As for five years later, Chu Duan felt that it would not be too much of a problem for him to sweep this Luo Domain regardless of age!

Chu Ming didn't know Chu Duan's true strength, and Chu Duan didn't care, in the past three months, Chu Duan would keep a low profile first, and wait until the day of the competition, and then let his family, the Yang family, and even Gangluo City tremble for himself!!
