61: Force you to sign a pledge of allegiance

“Yu Xiu, you bastard!”

After receiving Yu Xiu’s instructions, Chu Tianjiao, in order to speed up the spread, not only called on the Qin Province students but also forced students from other provinces to join in the promotion.

For a time, the entire Training Camp knew that the Chief had leaked information about the Capital’s students.

“Chief, this Yu Xiu is too much. We kindly helped him, and he actually turned around and deliberately slandered you.”

“Slandered?” The Training Camp manager glared at the other party, roaring, “You’re a piece of trash! I told you to spread the news secretly, so how did Yu Xiu and the others find out?”

The instructor said aggrievedly, “Chief, this isn’t my fault. Think about it, Yu Xiu deliberately tried to frame you, regardless of whether you were the one who spread the news.”

Actually, the instructor had something unspoken in his heart.

At this critical juncture, who else could have given Yu Xiu the news besides you, the Chief?

Even a fool could understand such a thing.

Only you, now desperate and in a panic, are grasping at straws.

“Do I need you to remind me? Do I not know Yu Xiu’s intentions?”

The Training Camp manager fell silent.

He was clearly deep in thought.

The instructor stood by cautiously, not even daring to breathe loudly.

After a long while!

The Training Camp manager spoke, “Now, help me contact the Chu Family Old Master.”

“Okay, okay.”

The instructor immediately connected the communicator.

Soon after, Old Master Chu’s deep voice came from the other end of the communicator.

“Old Chu, it’s me, Chen Sihai. I’m the Chief of the Provincial Training Camp.”

“It’s you!”

Old Master Chu said one sentence and then remained silent. Chen Sihai had no choice but to continue, “If I join your faction, can you guarantee my life and my Family’s safety?”

Beep, beep, beep!

The communicator was instantly hung up.

Chen Sihai was utterly bewildered.

He sat in place, thinking for a long time, before understanding dawned on his face, and he called again.

“Old Chu, I know I was wrong.”

After a long silence on the other end of the communicator, Old Master Chu’s voice finally came through.

“You should not pledge allegiance to the Chu Family, but to Yu Xiu. Even my Chu Family is now trying to align with Yu Xiu’s faction.”

“You are a smart person; I don’t need to say much. As for what to do, that’s entirely up to your own consideration.”

Old Master Chu only said a few brief words before hanging up the communicator again.

Chen Sihai sat there in a daze, but his heart was in turmoil.

Even the Chu Family is trying to align with Yu Xiu’s faction, but why Yu Xiu?

Chen Sihai couldn’t understand it at all.

In his opinion, Yu Xiu only possessed formidable Talent, capable of reaching the Martial Venerable Realm at such a young age, and his future was indeed promising.

However, Yu Xiu had no Foundation.

He was just an ordinary commoner.

Having toiled for so many years, he had long understood that Foundation and connections were king. Without these, unless one’s strength was so formidable that it could suppress an entire era.

But Yu Xiu clearly did not yet meet these conditions.

Why would a figure like Old Master Chu have such high expectations for Yu Xiu?

Could Yu Xiu have some unknown secret?

On second thought.

Given Yu Xiu’s hidden depths, like a bottomless pit, Chen Sihai felt somewhat relieved.

But should he take the gamble?

Once he aligned with Yu Xiu, it would mean he was completely at odds with the Capital.

Moreover, judging by Yu Xiu’s personality, those students from the Capital would definitely be killed.

At that time!

There would truly be no turning back.

“Chief, since Old Master Chu can leave Qin Province for Yu Xiu, I think we can also try to trust him.”

Seeing Chen Sihai’s troubled expression, the instructor beside him suddenly spoke.

“You have a point.”

“Old Master Chu leaving Qin Province means he’s betting the entire Chu Family.”

“What do I have to be conflicted about?”

These words seemed to enlighten Chen Sihai, so he stood up and said, “Come with me to see Yu Xiu.”

...

In the villa!

Yu Xiu and Chen Sihai sat opposite each other.

Chu Tianjiao acted as a waiter nearby.

Serving tea and greeting guests.

“Yu Xiu, you know my current situation. If I choose to join your faction, what guarantees can you give me?”

“No guarantees!” Yu Xiu shook his head and said, “How about this, Chief, you can leave now and test the bottom line of those people from the Capital. Perhaps they won’t make things difficult for you!”

Chen Sihai opened his mouth!

He knew he had lost again.

It was understandable that he couldn't take the initiative when facing Old Master Chu, but Yu Xiu was only a teenager; how could his thinking be so much like those old foxes?

On second thought, it made sense!

Given his current predicament, he simply didn’t have the right to choose the initiative.

He was truly pushed to the brink.

“Alright!”

“What do you want me to do?”

“Arrange for some instructors to go to the Ruins with me.” Yu Xiu said directly, “Of course, Chief, you must also come along.”

Yu Xiu’s purpose in going to the Ruins this time was, firstly, to kill those students from the Capital.

The reason he brought Chen Sihai along was to use this opportunity to establish a pledge of allegiance.

This way.

Even if Chen Sihai had ulterior motives, he would have no way out and could only follow Yu Xiu all the way to the end.

Secondly, it was for the Ruins assessment.

Chen Sihai had been in the position of Chief of the Provincial Training Camp for so long, he must know a lot about the Ruins assessment.

He would be a perfect guide!

“Okay, I’ll go with you!”

Chen Sihai also understood Yu Xiu’s meaning. He stood up and said, “I’ll go back and make arrangements now. Notify me when it’s time to depart.”

Yu Xiu nodded slightly.

Only then did Chen Sihai turn and leave.

“Boss, why didn’t I realize before that you’re really too devious.”

After Chen Sihai left, Chu Tianjiao chuckled, “Once he goes deep into Wu Mountain, our Chief will have no way back, and he’ll have to make his pledge of allegiance.”

Chu Tianjiao, as a scion of a prominent Family, clearly understood Yu Xiu’s objective.

“Stop your nonsense!”

“After I leave, the matters of the Training Camp will be left to you. Everything will proceed as usual.”

Chu Tianjiao asked, “Now that the Chief has taken a side, should we continue to blockade those areas of the Training Camp?”

Yu Xiu countered, “Since he is already one of us, what’s wrong with gaining some points from the Training Camp?”

“After all, a lot of points are needed to form a team later. Take this opportunity to get as many as you can. The Training Camp isn’t short on points anyway, what do you think!”

Chu Tianjiao smirked, “Boss, you’re still the most devious. I’m not as good as you.”

Thud!

Yu Xiu suddenly kicked out, and Chu Tianjiao flew back two meters.

“Next time you call me devious, you’ll be lying in bed for half a month!”

Chu Tianjiao chuckled, climbed up from the ground, and said with a wronged expression, “Boss, next time, please be careful with your kicks!”

As he spoke, he pointed to the footprint near his upper thigh, “Look, it was just a few centimeters off. If it had been a little further to the left, my happiness for the rest of my life would have been gone.”

“My six delicate little wives would have become widows.”

Yu Xiu said speechlessly, “It’s a good thing your mom created that cold and aloof persona for you outside. Otherwise, if people found out that the Qin Province Chu Family’s Prodigy is a comedian, the Chu Family’s image would probably plummet.”
