69: Yu Xiu and Old Master Chu perform a double act
That afternoon.
After Chen Sihai released the news, the entire Capital was once again in an uproar.
When the Capital's prominent families previously admitted defeat and agreed to the transaction, they had already lost face.
Many people initially thought that what would follow would be the Capital's prominent families'瘋狂 (fēngkuáng) revenge.
However, instead of revenge, what arrived was Yu Xiu's arrogant words once again.
This was clearly a rhythm meant to offend the Capital's prominent families to death.
For a time, the situation was turbulent.
"Chu Yunzhang, what exactly do you want to do? Do you really have to wait for someone from the Secret Realm City to come before you'll let it go?"
Around three in the afternoon, the Training Camp welcomed several black state guest cars, which drove all the way into the Training Camp and stopped in front of Yu Xiu's villa.
Two old men, roughly the same age as Old Master Chu, stepped out of the cars.
As soon as they met Old Master Chu, one of the old men said with an angry expression.
Chu Yunzhang was Old Master Chu's name.
"What do I want to do?"
Old Master Chu snorted, "Why do you want to cancel my child's spot?"
"You've been in high positions for so long, you're used to bullying common people, but my child, Chu Yunzhang, will not tolerate your bullying."
"I'm telling you one thing right now: either let my child continue to participate in the Training Camp, or I'll fight you."
"Let me tell you clearly, so what if someone from the Secret Realm City comes?"
"I am in the right. My child is powerful, but because of your underhanded dealings, he lost his Training Camp spot. No one can change that."
The two old men also frowned upon hearing this. Just as Old Master Chu said, he was in the right regarding this matter.
Arbitrarily canceling Yu Xiu's Training Camp spot was their initial violation of the rules.
But now there was no other way.
They were also under immense pressure.
When Yu Xiu's words spread throughout the Capital, many people panicked.
They also had Martial Venerable powerhouses.
But they didn't have a seventeen-year-old Martial Venerable.
If Yu Xiu participated in the National Training Camp, the Capital would ultimately suffer.
"Don't give me that attitude. State your conditions! How can you agree to Yu Xiu not participating in the National Training Camp?"
They were all old foxes; there was no need for pretense.
The two old men also didn't want to continue bickering with Old Master Chu, so they got straight to the point.
"Conditions?"
Old Master Chu sneered, "I just want my child to participate in the Training Camp."
"Chu Crazy, that's enough."
"We've already made a concession and offered you conditions. Don't be ungrateful."
"I'm ungrateful?"
Old Master Chu waved his hand directly, saying, "Yu Xiu, you go directly to the National Training Camp. If anyone dares to stop you, I guarantee I'll squat outside their house day and night. If anyone comes out, young or old, I'll kill them all."
Yu Xiu nodded heavily, saying, "Grandpa Chu, don't worry. The humiliation I suffered today, I will repay it twofold in the Training Camp."
As he spoke, Yu Xiu also displayed a murderous aura.
This scene made the two old men frown even more tightly.
They glanced at Yu Xiu.
They were filled with helplessness.
If this kid participated in the National Training Camp, it would be like a lone wolf entering a flock of sheep.
The fat one might not be the wolf, but the dead ones would definitely be the sheep.
"Chu Crazy, you..."
The old man was about to speak, but the silent old man next to him raised his hand to stop him.
"Old Chu, you also know the importance of the National Training Camp. Yu Xiu's current strength is indeed not suitable for entering there."
"I know that removing Yu Xiu's spot is against the rules, but we need to consider the bigger picture."
"Compensation must be given."
"Since we've come this time, we've brought sincerity. You should also calm down, let's discuss the compensation, shall we?"
Saying that, he looked at Yu Xiu again and chuckled, "Little fellow, we've all seen your strength. This time, we're going to inconvenience you. I hope you can understand; the country also has its difficulties."
Yu Xiu didn't speak.
Instead, he looked at Old Master Chu.
"Old Chu, what do you say?"
The old man also understood Yu Xiu's meaning, so he turned and smiled at Old Master Chu.
"After all these years, you're still the most eloquent and insidious old fellow."
Old Master Chu glanced at the old man next to him and snorted, "Unlike some people, who have been brainless since they were young, they don't even know when to get beaten. When you ask for something, you should have the attitude of someone asking for something. What kind of thing is that?"
"You..."
"Shut up!"
Old Master Chu saw this scene, chuckled, and said, "I won't make things difficult for you. If you want my child not to participate in the National Training Camp, it's not impossible to discuss."
"The authorization to form a thousand-person team. With his strength as a seventeen-year-old Martial Venerable, he absolutely has the qualifications for it, don't you think?"
"Chu Crazy, you're dreaming. Yu Xiu is powerful, but does he have military merits? Why should he have the authorization for a thousand-person team?"
Old Master Chu cursed angrily, "Old fellow, stop baring your teeth at me. Don't tell me you've forgotten how you got that set of false teeth?"
"Are you telling me Yu Xiu has no military merits? Clearing out the Blood God Sect followers in Jiangtan City, tell me, isn't that military merit?"
"Dare to bare your teeth at me again?"
"You never learn."
"Yu Xiu, we're not discussing this anymore. Later, you go participate in the National Training Camp. Grandpa will give you a list. Following that list, kill every little bastard related to this old fellow, one by one."
"I'll show you what it means to bare your teeth."
"If I could make you get a new set of false teeth when we were young, now my child can make all your family's ancestral graves get a new layer of soil."
Upon hearing this.
The short-tempered old man also dared not say more, his face extremely ugly and resentful.
"Now you're scared?"
"You couldn't beat me when we were young, and now those little bastards you spawned only deserve to be abused by my child."
"Now it's not about who has the loudest voice, but about whose child is stronger."
"You dog-like thing, what part of you is worthy?"
"And you still dare to bare your teeth at me."
At this moment, Chu Tianjiao also suppressed his laughter. He never expected that his usually serious Old Master would have such a rogue side.
But it felt so damn good!
"Old Chu!"
"The authorization to form a thousand-person team is impossible. At most, Yu Xiu can have the authorization for a hundred-person team."
Old Master Chu suddenly grinned and said, "I was waiting for that sentence from you."
"I was wondering how to get revenge, but now that you've said that, I have a perfect reason to refuse."
Saying that, he looked at Yu Xiu and said, "It's not that Grandpa isn't trying to fight for you, it's just that these two old fellows lack sincerity."
"Later, Grandpa will give you a list. Those old bastards back then forced Grandpa not to leave Qin Province by using the entire Chu family."
"Perfect, you go to the Training Camp and help those old bastards' ancestral graves get a new layer of soil."
Yu Xiu nodded and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. As long as they are on the list, I will definitely deal with them thoroughly for you."
Hearing this, the old man looked at Yu Xiu intentionally or unintentionally.
Although he knew that the two of them were putting on an act for him, he couldn't do anything!
The main reason was that Yu Xiu's strength was too great; even a group attack would be useless.
Old scoundrel!
Little scoundrel!
