At the same time, the people who stayed behind to clean up the battlefield were the warriors of the middle-aged generation and affiliated forces that he had offended.
After he left the battlefield, those who had suffered heavy losses but did not obtain any benefits would definitely not be satisfied. They would definitely provoke Chu Tianyun in secret so that they could obtain enough benefits from the subsequent distribution of benefits.
Chu Zhongtian had already thought of this in advance. However, not only did he not stop them, he even seemed to be indulging them.
He had actually done this on purpose. He deliberately made those people provoke Chu Tianyun's displeasure towards him and provoke his desire to fight for power and profit.
Because only by doing this could Chu Tianyun take the initiative to start a conflict with him, and he could easily cripple Chu Tianyun. This way, he could arrange for his satisfied clansmen to take control of Chu Family and Qi Country.
Seeing Chu Zhongtian's unchanging expression, Elder Huang felt confused. With Chu Zhongtian's extraordinary wisdom and grasp of the situation, it was impossible for him to not think of this. Moreover, this situation might have been deliberately arranged by him.
After leaving the cultivation chamber, Chu Zhongtian was not in a hurry to go to Meeting Hall. He also asked Qiu Xiang and the other two to prepare breakfast first and then asked Chun Xiang to help him change his clothes.
After he had enjoyed the perfect meal, it was already close to noon. It was almost an hour and a half later than the agreed time.
However, Chu Zhongtian still walked towards Meeting Hall like he was taking a walk.
The time went back to an hour and a half ago.
According to the usual routine of the Chu Family, this morning was the day when the elder of the inner clan and outer clan elder of the Chu Family would discuss the matters of the family together. Therefore, when it was just nine o'clock, the inner families and outer clan elder who were lucky enough to survive on the battlefield arrived in Meeting Hall one after another.
However, compared to the previous month's family meeting, the number of elders participating in this meeting was obviously much lesser. This made the elders who entered the Meeting Hall sigh with emotion.
Surviving in this world where the strong were respected and the weak were eliminated, no one could decide their own fate.
After entering the Meeting Hall, these elders looked around for a week and suddenly discovered some changes in the Meeting Hall today. The seats that originally belonged to the elder of the inner clan all retreated two meters.
The seats that originally belonged to the elder of the inner clan had temporarily increased in quality and were built into even more luxurious seats. This made some of the Elders who did not know the inside story feel that today's meeting would probably be different from the past.
As the elder of the inner clan that controlled the true lifeline of the family entered the Meeting Hall, many of the outer clan elder hurriedly looked over. They wanted to observe the clues of the situation from the faces of these elder of the inner clan.
However, every elder of the inner clan that entered the Meeting Hall either greeted the elders with a joyful expression or sat on their seats without saying a word.
Among all the elder of the inner clan, only one person seemed to be calm and relaxed, as if he didn't notice the strangeness of today's meeting at all. This person was Eighth Elder, who was in charge of the internal affairs of the family.
After entering the Meeting Hall, Chu Fann took a look at the furnishings in the hall, and his expression remained indifferent. However, a trace of surprise and worry flashed across his eyes.
However, those surprise and worries only flashed across his eyes for a brief moment. None of the elders present noticed it.
Then, he sat down and closed his eyes to rest.
Although Chu Fann's expression was very calm, his heart was not calm at all.
Three days ago, when Chu Tianyun forced him to leave the family and head to Luolin town to deliver the precious herbs, Chu Fann knew that Chu Tianyun was deliberately sending him away.
He had to leave the family for a short period of time, but he still observed the changes in the family through his subordinates.
Therefore, he had some understanding of Chu Tianyun's plan and was ready.
He had to attend the monthly meeting of Chu Family. Therefore, early in the morning, Chief Guard, who had accompanied him to Luolin town, allowed him to return to the family.
Chu Fann opened his eyes and looked outside the door. He thought, Has Tian finished his secluded cultivation? Could he deal with all the dangers that Chu Tianyun had prepared for him?
The arrival of a white-haired old man made all the elders in Meeting Hall shut their mouths at the same time.
After that, all the elders stood up at the same time and bowed respectfully.
"Seventh Uncle, hello!"
"Grand Elder, hello!"
Chu Fann quickly opened his eyes, but when he saw the white-haired old man walking into the Meeting Hall, his heart skipped a beat.
Because the person who came was the previous elder of Chu Family, Chu Yizi. He was the elder in charge of the family's external battles. At the same time, he was also a Half-step Qi Transforming Period warrior.
Chu Fann quickly stood up and bowed.
He couldn't help but sigh at Chu Tianyun's ability. Not only had Chu Tianyun successfully contacted 90% of the middle-aged experts, even Grand Elder, who had been in seclusion for many years, had come. It seemed like Chu Zhongtian was in trouble this time!
Chu Yizi sat on the fourth seat on the right side of Meeting Hall. Chu Fann knew that Grand Elder was not the only one Chu Tianyun had invited today.
Sure enough, another white-haired old man walked into the hall. This forced the elders who had just sat down to stand up again.
"Fifth Uncle, hello!"
"Grand Elder, hello!"
After a period of time, eight Half-step Qi Transforming Period Grand Elder arrived in Meeting Hall.
