I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head-Novel2

1161 One Wave Has Not Yet Settled, but Another Wave Rises

Chu Yunfan’s move immediately stunned the servants. Some of the more quick-witted ones immediately realized that Chu Yunfan had probably been hiding his strength over the past year. He was not as weak as many people thought he was.

He was also not a good-for-nothing. He was able to cripple Chu Yanghui with a single kick. No one would believe that this kind of strength was not at the peak of the Innate Stage.

He had such strength, but he had been lying dormant all this time. He was like a ferocious beast in the fog. Now, this ferocious beast was finally going to reveal its claws and fangs.

Chu Yunfan returned to his own side courtyard, and the news of him crippling Chu Yanghui with a single kick quickly spread throughout Marquis Zhongxin’s residence.

However, since it involved two crown prince candidates, they couldn’t make their own decision. And now, the two people who could make the decision in the residence were not around. Marquis Zhongxin had accompanied the grand madam back to her hometown to visit relatives.

The impact of this matter continued to brew. However, Chu Yunfan didn’t care about these things. To him, recovering his strength was the most important thing. To him, those criticisms were just like clowns jumping around, and he didn’t care about them in the slightest.

In a remote side courtyard of the residence, Chu Yunfan was sitting cross-legged on a futon. His body was constantly emitting a faint white smoke, which slowly disappeared into the sky.

The meridians in his body were severely damaged, and it was difficult for him to mobilize even a little bit of divine power. However, through continuous efforts, he was finally able to mobilize a small amount.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Immediately after, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old man appeared at the entrance of the courtyard. His face had a somewhat tender look.

“Brother Fan, are you there?”

Hearing this, Chu Yunfan smiled and said, “”Come in!”

The boy pushed the door open and walked in. When he saw Chu Yunfan, he said, “Brother Fan, you’ve finally made your move. You’ve ruthlessly taught that b*stard, Chu Yanghui, a lesson. I’ve heard that he actually dared to attack you. He really deserves to die!”

“It’s just a small punishment.” Chu Yunfan glanced at the young man and then said, “Hongcai, did you get into a fight?”

He saw that the young man’s clothes were all dirty, and his hair bun was loose. He looked very disheveled.

“It’s all because of that b*stard. Chu Xiujie and his gang were planning to teach you a lesson, Brother Fan. They wanted to deduct your monthly allowance. I got so angry that I argued with them!” the young man, Chu Hongcai, said angrily, “But I can’t stay with Chu Xiujie anymore. Brother Fan, since you’ve made an exception, why don’t I follow you instead? Chu Xiujie and Chu Haoyu are no match for you anyway.”

Chu Yunfan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Chu Hongcai. Of course, he could tell that Chu Hongcai was speaking the truth.

In fact, Chu Hongcai was also one of the dozen crown prince candidates. However, he was the youngest among them—only a teenager—so his strength was also the weakest. When he first entered the residence, he was bullied because of his young age, and after being secretly saved by Chu Yunfan once, he had since listened to Chu Yunfan’s orders.

However, Chu Yunfan himself had no intention of fighting for the title of Prince Zhongxin, so Chu Hongcai had no choice but to stand in Chu Xiujie’s camp.

And today, because of Chu Yanghui’s sneak attack on Chu Yunfan, he had completely fallen out with Chu Xiujie’s camp.

“You’re too impulsive,” Chu Yunfan said with a smile but he was touched. Chu Hongcai was a young man with a hot-blooded heart. He often did things according to his heart. Such a person was quite rare now. action

“All right, I’ll stop talking now,” Chu Hongcai said, “I’ve challenged Chu Yongyan to a duel. I’m going to beat him to death. I always thought that he was just a pretty boy because of his fair and clean appearance. I didn’t expect him to be so sinister. He was the one who suggested that I deal with you, Brother Fan!

Chu Yunfan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. A fair and clean face that made one look like a pretty boy would usually equate that one wasn’t a good person. What kind of logic was this?

With that, Chu Hongcai ran out in a hurry.

Chu Yunfan frowned and immediately stood up. He couldn’t ignore this matter.

Marquis Zhongxin’s heritage was passed down through martial arts. Within the residence, there was an arena area for the disciples of the Chu family to settle their grudges and spar.

At this moment, the entire arena was filled with people. Chu Yongyan and Chu Hongcai, two crown prince candidates, were about to battle each other in the arena.

This attracted many people in the residence to come and watch. After the incident of Chu Yunfan crippling Chu Yanghui with a single kick in the morning, there was now a battle between two candidates in the afternoon.

Recently, as the date of Marquis Zhongxin’s selection for the crown prince approached, this kind of open and secret struggle became more and more obvious.

But this time, the two of them were a bit strange. Originally, they were both from Chu Xiujie’s camp, but now they were fighting because of Chu Yunfan.

By the time Chu Yunfan arrived, it was already a hubbub of voices. Outside the ring, Chu Hongcai was facing off against a group of people with an angry expression.

He was surrounded by all kinds of people who had come to watch the show.

Chu Yunfan looked over and saw a young man who looked to be around 25 or 26 years old. He was dressed in a magnificent robe, had fair skin, and a handsome face, but there was a hint of maliciousness between his brows.

It was the pretty boy Chu Hongcai had mentioned, Chu Yongyan.

Behind Chu Yongyan, a group of young men in similar Chinese robes were surrounding a young man who had an imposing appearance. The young man’s face had a calm expression that turned vicious after he spotted Chu Yunfan.

It was one of the two most popular candidates in the Chu family, Chu Xiujie.

Chu Yunfan’s arrival quickly attracted everyone’s attention. The aftermath of Chu Yunfan crippling Chu Yanghui with a single kick in the morning had yet to dissipate, and now Chu Yongyan and Chu Hongcai were going to fight because of him.

Chu Xiujie glanced at Chu Yunfan, his eyes flashing with a hint of ruthlessness. Today, he had lost a lot of face. Chu Yanghui was crippled by Chu Yunfan, which was already very embarrassing, and now his subordinate Chu Hongcai had switched sides because of Chu Yunfan.

He could already imagine how Chu Haoyu’s side would mock him for not being able to control his men.

And all of this was because of Chu Yunfan!

This was a person he had never once cared about!

Chu Yunfan didn’t even look at Chu Xiujie. He merely glanced at Chu Yongyan, who was confronting Chu Hongcai, and immediately understood that Chu Hongcai had been tricked.
