The reason he was able to secure the position of patriarch was because of Chu Zhengxuan's support. The fact that he was able to break through to the Qi Transforming Period was also the result of Chu Zhengxuan's careful guidance.
It could be said that without Chu Zhengxuan, there wouldn't be Chu Tianyun's achievements today. Therefore, he didn't want to offend Chu Tianxuan.
"If a clan wants to prosper for a long time, it relies on the unity of all its clansmen. It relies on fairness and rules, and it relies on a patriarch's strategy." Chu Tianyun said righteously.
As long as he did not face Chu Zhengxuan, Chu Tianyun's emotions would instantly return to normal. Therefore, when he faced Chu Zhongtian's problem, he could think normally and face it.
"So, patriarch, what do you think of the young generation?" Seeing that Chu Tianyun didn't want to talk about the younger generation, Chu Zhongtian knew that he wanted to avoid this topic. However, using the younger generation was part of Chu Zhongtian's second plan. How could he tolerate Chu Tianyun avoiding the most important part of the plan?
"The younger generation is the future hope of the family, and also the foundation of the prosperity of the family!" Seeing Chu Zhongtian directly change the topic to the young generation, Chu Tianyun knew that he couldn't avoid this topic. So he answered truthfully.
"Patriarch, then, the younger generation and the eight people in front of you only know how to enjoy themselves. Who is more important than Grand Elder who doesn't know how to return the favor? " Seeing that Chu Tianyun had finally fallen into his trap, Chu Zhongtian officially executed his trump card.
"There is no comparison between the two of them!" Shaking his head, Chu Tianyun refused to answer this question.
Because he knew very well that Chu Zhongtian's question was a trap. No matter how he answered it, he would definitely offend one side.
"Patriarch, how can there be no comparison between the two!" Chu Tianyun refused to answer. It was not out of Chu Zhongtian's expectation, so he continued to ask.
"Patriarch, I hope you can answer my question. Otherwise, today's routine meeting will be delayed infinitely."
"To the family, the two are equally important!" Facing Chu Zhongtian's coercion, Chu Tianyun helplessly jumped into the trap that Chu Zhongtian had set up.
"Since both of them are equally important, then why did the weak young generation go on stage to kill the enemy while the powerful Grand Elder hid behind them?" Chu Zhongtian took a step forward with his right foot and asked loudly.
Along with Chu Zhongtian's question, the eleven young disciples who followed him into Meeting Hall all looked at Chu Tianyun, hoping that he could give them a satisfactory answer.
"Zhongba, what should you do next?" Seeing the confrontation between Chu Zhongtian and Chu Tianyun, Chu Yuping, who was standing behind Chu Zhengxuan, moved to Chu Zhongba's side and asked quietly.
"Yuping, the patriarch is my biological father and Zhongtian is my brother. No matter who I choose, I don't feel good in my heart, so I don't know what to do!" Shaking his head gently, Chu Zhongba said in pain.
"Zhongba, why don't you go out first!" Seeing Chu Zhongba's sad expression, Chu Yuping tried to persuade him.
"No, I want to stay here. I want to see how this farce ends in the end!" Looking up at Chu Tianyun and Chu Zhongtian, Chu Zhongba gritted his teeth and said.
Seeing Chu Zhongba unwilling to leave, Chu Yuping could only sigh.
Chu Zhengxuan, who was sitting in front of the two of them, also heard their whispers. He understood Chu Zhongba's feelings, so he also felt sorry for Chu Zhongba's current condition.
"Patriarch, you don't have to take responsibility for us!" Looking at Chu Tianyun who was forced into a corner, Third Grand Elder communicated with the other Grand Elder using their eyes and stepped out to help Chu Tianyun.
"Chu Zhongtian, when we were surrounded by the three great families's allied forces, the patriarch had personally come to invite us. But we rejected him! " Third Grand Elder stood up from his seat and walked in front of Chu Zhongtian. He had the upper hand in height, so when he faced Chu Zhongtian, he looked down on him.
"Why?" Chu Zhongtian saw Third Grand Elder, who had taken the initiative to step forward to help Chu Tianyun, and asked with a calm expression.
Whether it was forcing Chu Tianyun to admit his mistake or getting rid of the eight Grand Elder, it was Chu Zhongtian's goal to fight for power and profit this time. That was why Chu Zhongtian faced Third Grand Elder who took the initiative to speak with a calm expression.
"When we were young, we contributed our whole lives to the family. Now, we are old. Can't we enjoy a good life? Could it be that you have the heart to watch us old fellows die on the battlefield? " Third Grand Elder did not use any reason to explain that they were unwilling to fight, so he could only say this.
After all, all the elders present would age just like them. They would certainly hope that their later years would be happy, so they would definitely support his words.
Chu Fann and Grand Elder's facial expression changed when they heard what Third Grand Elder said.
Because they knew very well that this was a trap that Third Grand Elder had set for Chu Zhongtian. No matter what he said next, he would offend all the elders present, unless he was willing to take the initiative to take a step back.
However, given the fact that Chu Zhongtian dared to kill Elder Wu the moment he appeared, they were afraid that he wouldn't give in so easily.
"Third Grand Elder, you are right. All of you who have dedicated your lives to the family should really enjoy your old age!" After Chu Zhongtian heard Third Grand Elder's words, he agreed with him.
Chu Zhongtian's agreement made most of the elders present secretly heave a sigh of relief.
Because Chu Zhongtian's words meant that he would take the initiative to back down, which also meant that the first step of Chu Tianyun's plan was a success. Next, they just had to continue to chase after them, and the light of victory was right in front of them.
"Since the few of you want to enjoy your old age quietly and don't want to be disturbed by mundane matters, then you don't have to worry about the family's affairs!" After saying this, Chu Zhongtian instructed the guards guarding the entrance of the hall.
"Send the few of you back to the place of seclusion. In the future, without my orders, they are not allowed to take half a step out of the courtyard!"
Chu Tianyun and the others, who originally thought they had won the first step of the plan, saw Chu Zhongtian directly deprive the eight Grand Elder of the right to intervene in the regular meetings and even imprison these Grand Elder. Their expressions changed drastically.
Hearing Chu Zhongtian's order, the eight Grand Elder stood up angrily and looked at Chu Zhongtian with killing intent.
