Chapter 555: Attention of the Chu Family

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Apart from Federation University, the Chus were also under immense pressure. Federation University only needed to protect Chu Yunfan for the next four years. After all, students eventually graduated from Federation University.

After those four years, Federation University could not interfere with the development of its graduates. Federation University was only protecting the Federation University student brand, not one specific person.

As long as Chu Yunfan was still a student of Federation University, Federation University would not give up on him. However, when he graduated, this mask would become useless.

However, the Chus were different. Although Chu Yunfan was from a branch family, he was still one of them. If Chu Yunfan’s performance was ordinary, even if he sacrificed himself, so be it. However, his performance was absolutely stunning. The Chus were in a tough situation.

At this moment, one of the meeting rooms of the Chus was filled with dozens of people. Although there were not many of them, if those who were familiar with the Chus saw this scene, they would be floored.

!!

These people were the true upper echelons of the Chu family. The Chu clan leader, Chu Yan, sat at the head of the table. Even the junior leader, Chu Haoyue, could only sit respectfully at the bottom of this group of people. One could imagine the status of this group of people in the Chu family.

It would already be a shock if any of the Chu family matters could disturb even one-third of these people. Some of these people were in secluded cultivation, while some were in charge of the Chu family affairs. It was very difficult for them to drop whatever they were doing.

And now, they were all gathered here for one thing—the Chu family’s newly risen stallion, Chu Yunfan.

“I think everyone has seen the information on Chu Yunfan. Tell me your thoughts,” Chu Yan said.

“This little guy really knows how to stir up trouble,” an elder who looked to be in his seventies or eighties said with a smile.

All the elders laughed as well. This elder looked to be in his seventies or eighties, but in fact, he was already more than a hundred years old. He could be considered an elder of the Chu family who was relatively older and held a high status. With his age, it was normal for him to call Chu Yunfan “little fellow.”

“He is indeed capable of causing trouble, but his talent is on par with his ability to cause trouble. It has been a long time since our family has produced such a person. The last one was Haoyue,” an elder said, “However, he seems to have risen to fame relatively late. It wasn’t until his third year of high school that he finally opened his eyes. If we had discovered him earlier, we would’ve been able to start training him as early as possible. We wouldn’t have let him wander outside our family system as he’s doing now.”

Many of the elders revealed bitter smiles. They were not stubborn old fogies who did not know how to adapt to the situation. On the contrary, they were all well-versed in the ways of the world. They knew that there was no love without reason and that there was also no hatred without reason.

Chu Yunfan had not received many benefits from the family since he was young. It was normal for him to not have a sense of belonging.

Usually, this kind of situation would not be a problem. Even if he was not close to the family in the beginning, this world had never been one where a single person could do as they pleased.

There were all sorts of groups and organizations emerging one after another. Without a doubt, the Chu family was one of the best.

Though the Chus were one of The Great Eights, there were forces more powerful than them. However, they were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Basically, they were the top forces in the Federation.

No matter what kind of young genius they were, if one wanted to rise up, they would have to rely on the Chu family. Only the Chus could provide sufficient resources to allow geniuses to rise up.

This move had always been successful in the past. In terms of cultivation, one had to pay attention to the law of wealth. Regardless of which of these four elements, one would have to rely on the Chu family to obtain them.

Although Federation University was generous, it had a total of over 100,000 students. No matter how many resources they had, they would not be able to compare to the resources that the Chus could provide.

Unless there was some deep hatred between the person and the family, they normally would not reject the olive branch extended by the Chus.

Only Chu Yunfan was different. He had not received much help from the Chu family. He had single-handedly defeated the descendants who had received the full support of the other great families and sects. To say that his talent was not inferior to Chu Haoyue was a humble way of putting it. He was probably even more outstanding than Chu Haoyue back then.

If not for his astonishing performance, Chu Yunfan would not have shocked the entire upper echelons of the Chu family. So many people gathered here just to discuss him. Such a situation was rare in the history of the Chu family.

In short, it was a thorny matter. There was nothing they could do. Chu Yunfan was like a hedgehog. They had no idea how to deal with him.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine. However, a top-notch genius like Chu Yunfan came from their family. It would be a pity if they could not fold him into the family ranks.

“There’s nothing we can do about that. Although our family is a big deal, it’s impossible for us to train all of our descendants at the same time. If we were to do that, even if our family’s might was ten times bigger, we would still go bankrupt. There are many people like Chu Yunfan who are enlightened in the later stages, but this is the first time such a shocking thing has happened,” an elder said as he sighed.

Looking at the situation, there was no way to prevent an incident the one Chu Yunfan had created from happening again. But generally, it was impossible for a monster like Chu Yunfan to appear all the time. Not everyone could be like him, maintaining their independence and still able to grow to such an extent.

“We have to rope in such a talent. In the past, we did not put in much effort. But it seems that we had made a mistake in our judgment of him. We can’t use our past experience to judge,” an elder said, “Aside from that, we don’t have to care about the pressure from the Jiangs and the Huangs. They just want to kill the rare genius of our family. Ignore them.”

“I agree. As the saying goes, the human heart is made of flesh. Now that Chu Yunfan has revealed his talent, it’s still not too late. The talents of our family must not be exposed,” an elder said firmly. “As for the Jiangs and the Huangs’ treacherous tricks, let them use them. We Chus are not soft persimmons who are afraid of trouble.”

All the elders spoke up one after another.

“Since everyone is agreeable on this, we’ll proceed accordingly. We’ll do our best to rope in Chu Yunfan. As for the specific matters, Chu Haoyue, I’ll leave you in charge.”

Chu Yan immediately gave his orders. As the head of the Chu family, he was also a high-ranking member of the Federation Government. He had a myriad of affairs to attend to every day. No matter how important Chu Yunfan was, it was not enough for him to pay attention to every detail.

“Understood. Leave it to me,” Chu Haoyue said.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan, who had stirred up this storm, finally appeared.
