Chapter 30: The SoulPet With Exceptional Healing Ability (1)
Chu Ning’s description caused everyone present to be both shocked and suspicious. Chu Mu’s incident had occurred four years ago and everyone had gradually forgotten about it. Yet, who would have expected that his name would appear on this day. Moreover, it came about in such a shocking message.
Perhaps it was because these people understood Chu Mu too well, but many people didn’t really believe it. In a span of four years, going from someone who couldn’t even summon a soul pet to defeating Yang Jie, was simply impossible.
“Then… then where is he?” The family head, Chu Ming, had a gaze that was clearly very moved.
“When he was chasing after Yang Jie, he accidentally fell off Falling Phoenix Cliff. Right now, he’s in the Broken Forest.” immediately said Chu Ning.
“Is it still possible to survive after falling off of Falling Phoenix Cliff?” asked the sixth son of the family head, Chu Tianjue.
“There was no problem. Fourth brother is still okay. Only, he had no way of getting back up. Right now he should be deep inside Broken Forest walking eastward. This child hastily returned in hoped that grandfather would send a few experts to Broken Forest to find Chu Mu.” said Chu Ning.
“This… why did he have to fall in there. Broken Forest is incredibly dangerous. Normal people cannot even stay in there for a few days. Furthermore, Broken Forest is so vast that, without the sufficient number of people, it’s impossible to find people in that vast forest…” said Chu Tianjue.
The Chu Family’s family head, Chu Ming, creased his eyebrows. His face was heavy, and after a while, his gaze swept over everyone. Finally, it stopped on Chu Tianjue and he asked: “How many people can we send right now?”
“Father, we’re currently in very dire times. How can we send experts into Broken Forest? Moreover, after falling into the broken forest, whether he’s still alive is yet another question. If we were to send experts, with how empty our Chu Family is, finding him would be nice – at least we could make fourth brother gratified – but if we don’t find him, we will be in the face of an imminent crisis.” said Chu Tianjue.
“Sixth brother, what are you saying? Chu Mu barely managed to survive. In these four years he has definitely experienced a lot before barely managing to return. Even if there’s danger, we must send send a few experts.” said Chu Ning’s father, Chu Tianlin.
Chu Tianlin was Chu Ming’s second son, and his words had a bit of weight within the Chu Family.
“Second brother, I’m not someone who would watch his own nephew suffer hardships, right? Yet, the problem is, right now, we really can’t find anyone to go to Broken Forest. If we are to stubbornly send people, it will only bring us more danger.” said Chu Tianjue.
The grizzled bearded Chu Nan sitting next to Chu Ning looked at the family head Chu Ming and slowly said: “We should still carefully consider…”
Chu Nan was the family head Chu Ming’s younger brother. His mannerism was rather conservative and traditional. He controlled a third of the Chu Family’s power and was the vice-head of the Chu Family.
“Sixth uncle, second grandfather, don’t tell me that Chu Mu isn’t a descendent of the Chu Family?! How… how can you just sit back and watch him die?!” Chu Ning was exceptionally emotional as he spoke!
“You dare!” The sixth elder Chu Tianjue abruptly stood up from his seat and ferociously glared at Chu Ning, who just spoke rudely.
Chu Ning ground his teeth as if he had already stifled much anger that he had held in for a long time. Unexpectedly, he wasn’t afraid of Chu Tianjue’s majesty and indignantly said: “Back then, back then, if it wasn’t because you guys proposed to change fourth brother’s family servant, Chu Mu wouldn’t have been kidnapped. You guys caused fourth brother to fall into a deadly situation. Presently, he has barely managed to escape and yet you are so heartless. Could it be that you want to be ruthless towards him?!”
Chu Ning was mad. The Chu Ning that had always remained respectful and reverent to his elders had finally let out these coarse words!
“Impudent! The caravan this time lost half of its resources and we didn’t fault you for it. Yet, you didn’t even reflect and instead are being so rude. You have no respect for your elders!” Chu Tianjue was also angry. His eyes were unexpectedly beginning to transform colors!
“Sixth brother, you don’t need to discipline my child!” Seeing that the sixth brother, Chu Tianjue, was about to use a soul technique, how could the second brother Chu Tianlin remain silent? His eyes also began to change.
“Enough! It stops here! Everyone withdraw!” The family head Chu Ming abruptly stood up and shouted at both Chu Tianlin and Chu Tianjue.
Chu Tianlin and Chu Tianjue didn’t dare to act so presumptuously in front of their father, and revoked their soul techniques; however, their two gazes glared at each other, revealing a bit of anger.
The family clan had already ordered everyone to withdraw, so naturally no one stayed any longer. They all withdrew and, as they left, they discussed things about Chu Mu in soft voices.
“Isn’t this only to save that stupid brat? As for exaggerating the death of Yang Jie, hmph. If we can save him, why wouldn’t I? What kind of place is Broken Forest? Even I can’t guarantee that I would be able to walk around there for a few days. Who in the Chu Family would even dare enter?” As they walked out of the great hall, Chu Tianjue glared at Chu Tianlin as he spoke.
“You are a timid coward whenever it comes to something big. I honestly have no idea why father would put you in charge of manpower. If you don’t send people, that’s fine. I’ll go myself!” Chu Tianlin glared at Chu Tianjue.
The only people remaining in the great hall were the family head Chu Ming and his eldest son, Chu Tianheng. The two didn’t say anything and waited for everyone to leave before the eldest, Chu Tianheng, finally said:
