1167 An Xiuxiu’s Visit

Chu Hongcai’s eyes widened. He hadn’t expected Chu Yunfan to say this. Although he was hot-blooded and sometimes had a one-track mind, he wasn’t innocent. How could he not have any thoughts about becoming the marquis’ son?

In fact, among these people, except for Chu Yunfan, who wanted to find a place to heal, no one was chosen without any thought. If they didn’t have any thoughts, they wouldn’t have been selected as candidates.

But after more than a year of competition, Chu Xiujie and Chu Yongyan stood out from the crowd and both stepped into the Divine Abilities Stage, which isolated the thoughts of others.

No matter how much they wanted to become the crown prince, they knew that if they were all in the Innate Stage and the gap between them wasn’t big, then they could still fight for the position. It would just be a difference between a few small levels, which was nothing.

However, as the two of them reached the Divine Abilities Stage one after another, the outcome was already clear. It was not a matter of who reached the Divine Abilities Stage first. Some of them had even reached the peak of the Innate Stage, but it was useless.

It wasn’t something that they would be able to cross with time. Every step was like the difference between clouds and mud. If they couldn’t cross it, they couldn’t cross it. If they could cross it, they could. It was the difference between heaven and earth.

There was no possibility of them chasing each other.

In addition, the selection for the crown prince was about to end. From what Marquis Zhongxin had revealed, if he didn’t choose Chu Xiujie, then he would choose Chu Yongyan. It was unlikely that there were any other possibilities.

The difference between Chu Hongcai’s cultivation base and theirs was too great. Although it could be said that his luck was quite bad due to his young age, luck itself was also a part of strength. He couldn’t possibly make others stop and wait for him.

Therefore, he had long since given up on this idea. Everyone began to turn to a pragmatic approach, choosing one of the top candidates to assist them. As long as the person they assisted became the marquis’ son, even if they could not become the crown prince, they would still receive great benefits.

Because of this, Chu Hongcai chose to rely on Chu Xiujie, but because of his character, even if he relied on Chu Xiujie, he was out of place with Chu Xiujie’s lackeys, and there was no way to integrate with them.

In the end, because of Chu Yunfan, he completely fell out with Chu Xiujie and the others.

He wasn’t prepared at all, and Chu Yunfan had already said this.

But then, Chu Hongcai smiled bitterly and said, “Brother Fan, don’t make fun of me. Isn’t it obvious who will win? Brother Fan, if you take action, I believe you can still turn the situation around, but it’s impossible for me. How can I catch up with Chu Xiujie and Chu Yongyan in such a short time?”

“If I say yes, it means yes. If you want it, I can help you,” Chu Yunfan said as he looked at Chu Hongcai.

“Brother Fan, why do you think so highly of me? Don’t you want to be the son of Marquis Zhongxin?” Chu Hongcai asked.

He hadn’t thought about this problem before because he never thought that Chu Yunfan would stand out and assist him to become the crown prince.

But now, it was clear that Chu Yunfan had no intention of coming out at all. Instead, he wanted Chu Hongcai to become the marquis’ son. He couldn’t understand it.

“To me, Marquis Zhongxin’s residence is too small.” Chu Yunfan stood up with his hands behind his back and looked at the sky in the distance. Above the sky, an eagle-like monster flew past.

He was like an eagle in the sky. How could he stay in Marquis Zhongxin’s residence and fight endlessly? What he pursued was supreme progress in martial arts. Otherwise, he could have just stayed in the Federation.

“To me, it doesn’t matter whether I’m loyal to the marquis or even the emperor. For people of my generation, the ultimate goal is to pursue the supreme martial Dao,” Chu Yunfan said.

His purpose of becoming stronger in the past was to stand out and make his family’s life better, and thus, that was what he did.

He had already passed that stage. Whatever he wanted to have—be it wealth, fame, or honor—he had already obtained it all in the Federation.

Therefore, he now had a new pursuit, which was to walk to the peak of martial arts, to see the most beautiful scenery, and to walk a path that no one had ever walked before.

Therefore, the glory and wealth that Marquis Zhongxin represented could not move him. Only after experiencing all that could he let go of it.

Chu Hongcai couldn’t quite understand. He was too young to understand Chu Yunfan’s ambition, but he was also influenced by Chu Yunfan.

“Hongcai, let me teach you another sentence. Strength is the foundation of everything. As long as you have enough strength, you can obtain everything in an open and aboveboard manner. Only the weak will think of schemes and intrigues all day long. So what if he’s loyal to the marquis? He’s a man. Even if he goes out, joins the army, and serves the country, he might get demoted,” Chu Yunfan said as he turned to Chu Hongcai.

Chu Hongcai immediately said excitedly, “Brother Fan, you’re right. I’m a real man with hands and feet. I can also get what I want through hard work.

“But Brother Fan, do you really want me to be the marquis’ son? Why?” Chu Hongcai asked, “Do you think that I’m so talented that I’ll have to take on the responsibility of saving the country and the world in the future?”

As soon as Chu Hongcai finished speaking, Chu Yunfan immediately gave him a knock on the head. Chu Yunfan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he said, “You’re thinking too much. I’m only close to you. If I don’t help you, who else will I help?”

“Alright then!” Chu Hongcai immediately said with a smile.

Suddenly, another wave of footsteps came from the distance. Very quickly, a fiery red figure appeared outside the side courtyard.

“Chu Yunfan, you live here? It’s really hard to find.”

The fiery red figure was none other than An Xiuxiu.

“What are you doing here?” Chu Yunfan asked.

“You’re…An Xiuxiu!”

Chu Hongcai’s eyes widened as he looked at An Xiuxiu in shock. Unlike Chu Yunfan, who didn’t know much about An Xiuxiu’s background, Chu Hongcai was a native of the Great Wei Kingdom. He had grown up in Conglong City so he naturally knew her background very well.

An Xiuxiu was the only legitimate daughter of the Marquis Anguo. From a young age, she had been regarded as a pearl in the marquis’ palm. From a young age, she had been evaluated by a mysterious master as an outstanding talent and would become a great figure in the future.

Later on, the truth was as the mysterious expert had said. She quickly became the best among her peers. It was said that she had even entered the Divine Abilities Stage recently.

For An Xiuxiu, who was only in her twenties, this was an extremely amazing achievement.
