Time passed, and in no time, several days had passed. During these days, Chu Feng stayed at home without leaving. Apart from delving into the third form of Thunder Fist, he spent his time refining medicinal herbs.
In just a few days, Chu Feng had transformed from a wealthy man on that day to a poor beggar with nothing. Fortunately, his Dan Tian had replenished quite a bit. Chu Feng estimated that with just one more medicinal pearl, he could break through again.
However, the hunt for medicinal herbs only occurred once a year, and the medicinal pearl was an extremely rare medicinal herb. Without relying on Su Mei, Chu Feng wouldn't have been able to get such a great deal. Therefore, he also knew that it wasn't easy to break through again.
Unconsciously, it was almost time for the Chu Family Gathering. On this day, three acquaintances came to visit.
"Chu Yue, Chu Xue, Chu Wei?"
Looking at the three people outside the hall, Chu Feng was somewhat surprised. If Chu Yue came to visit, it wasn't unusual. But he didn't expect that Chu Xue and Chu Wei would also come along.
"Chu Feng younger brother, the family gathering is approaching. You should come with us back home," Chu Yue said with a smile.
"Oh?" Chu Feng looked at Chu Wei and Chu Xue, somewhat hesitant.
"Chu Feng elder brother, come with us back home. Everyone is waiting for you," Chu Xue also spoke, her eyes showing sincerity as well as a strong sense of apology.
"Chu Feng, maybe there was some misunderstanding between us before, but in the end, we are still family. I hope you don't take things too seriously," Chu Wei also said with a smile, his words carrying a hint of admitting fault.
After some thought, Chu Feng agreed, "Alright then."
Chu Feng was not a stingy person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have saved Chu Xue that day. Moreover, he was planning to return to the Chu Family on his way, and being able to chat with Chu Yue on the way was also nice.
Arriving at the gate of the Blue Dragon Sect, indeed, all the Chu Family members were waiting for Chu Feng. Their gaze on Chu Feng no longer showed the former hostility, but rather a sense of respect. There was also a touch of embarrassment and shame.
Although it wasn't certain yet, many people already knew in their hearts that Chu Feng might be the ruthless person who killed forty fierce beasts and was favored by the Wing Alliance. For such a Chu Feng, they dared not offend anymore.
Regarding this change in their attitude, Chu Feng didn't think much. After all, in Chu Feng's heart, he regarded himself as a member of the Chu Family. Being able to live in harmony with his family was what he longed for.
Although he knew that the reason for their change in attitude was his strength, it didn't matter. After all, in this world, it's like this. Even if they are a family, they still need to be judged by their strength.
In the central part of Qingzhou, there was a mountain-built town called Xiangshan Town. The Chu Family was the dominant force in Xiangshan Town, controlling the land resources within dozens of miles.
At present, in front of the imposing gate of the Chu Family, several handsome young men and girls galloped over, jumping off their horses. They were Chu Feng and others who had returned from the Blue Dragon Sect.
"Look, the Chu Family's young masters and ladies have returned!"
"The purple robes, that must be the symbol of the Inner Gate disciples of the Blue Dragon Sect, very impressive. Truly, they are Chu Family members."
"Yes, the talent in martial arts training is the most important. Dongyang Head of the East Town, using all his wealth to raise silver, made his grandson join the Blue Dragon Sect. But after entering the Blue Dragon Sect for ten years, he only had the cultivation level of martial arts one. The Chu Family's young masters and ladies simply couldn't compare."
"It's not entirely true. I heard that there is a young master named Chu Feng in the Chu Family. Now he is also an Outer Gate disciple. Due to his lack of face, he has not returned to the Chu Family for many years."
"You don't know that? That Chu Feng, although he has the status of a young master, is not a member of the Chu Family. He was picked up by Chu Yuan and has a normal talent level."
"Shh, don't talk about such things. If Chu Yuan hears it, he will be in big trouble."
The return of Chu Feng and others attracted the attention of many villagers in the town. For those who were not talented in martial arts, all martial artists were their idols.
"Young masters and ladies, you have returned."
Entering the courtyard, all the servants of the Chu family gathered around, and many of the younger generation of the Chu family were also attracted.
There were many young members of the Chu family, but they had all joined different sects, so when they learned that the people from the Blue Dragon Sect had returned, those from other sects also wanted to see how Chu Wei, Chu Yue, and others had grown.
"Hey, isn't that Chu Feng? Finally entering the Inner Gate of the Blue Dragon Sect?"
A sharp and sarcastic voice rang out. Several young boys and girls came over, with the leader being an handsome young man.
His name was Chu Xun, a disciple of the Second-Class Sect Kailong Sect. He was eighteen years old and had a cultivation level of Spirit Power Fifth Stage. Just like most Chu family members, he had always been hostile towards Chu Feng.
"If I'm not mistaken, you also entered the Inner Gate of Kailong Sect at the age of fifteen, right?" Chu Feng smiled lightly.
"Hmph, you're right. But in just three years since entering the Inner Gate, I have already reached the Spirit Power Fifth Stage. Compared to me, do you deserve to be here?"
"Ugh, you entered Kailong Sect at ten years old and reached the Spirit Power Fifth Stage at eighteen. Your progress is so slow and yet you're still so arrogant. Can't you be a bit more impressive?"
"You're looking down on me? Want to have a contest?" Chu Xun's face turned very pale. He couldn't wait to teach Chu Feng a lesson.
"Have a contest with me? You don't deserve it," Chu Feng contemptuously glanced at him and then walked towards the inner part of the Chu family.
"Damn it, who gave him the confidence to be so arrogant? The clan competition should better not include him. Otherwise, I'll kill him." Looking at Chu Feng's departing back, Chu Xun gritted his teeth in anger.
"Chu Xun, I advise you not to provoke Chu Feng," At this moment, Chu Cheng and Chu Zhen, the two brothers, walked over.
"What do you mean? Do you think I won't be able to defeat him?" Chu Xun became even more furious.
Seeing his stubbornness, Chu Cheng and Chu Zhen didn't bother to pay attention to him and instead headed towards their own residence.
"Two idiots, not seeing each other for a year, how lack of ambition they have now," Chu Xun glared at the two with contempt.
"They're right. Brother Big Brother also advised you. Chu Feng isn't as weak as you think. I won't say too much about it. You should figure it out by yourself," Chu Wei also came forward and patted Chu Xun on the shoulder.
After that, Chu Yue, Chu Xue, Chu Ling, and others all said something to Chu Xun. Although what they said was very vague, it all had a strong warning tone.
"These guys are so stupid to stay in the Blue Dragon Sect. Chu Yue is okay, but how did Chu Wei and his brothers become so lacking in spirit?" Looking at the departing backs of Chu Wei and his brothers, Chu Xun was somewhat confused.
"Exactly. Chu Wei and Cheng Zhen brothers aren't the most annoyed by Chu Feng, and what about Chu Xue? What happened to them?" At the same time, the group behind Chu Feng were also full of confusion.
They couldn't figure it out. Last year, they had been constantly insulting Chu Feng and vigorously publicizing the scandal involving Chu Feng at the Qinglong Sect. But now, all of a sudden, these people seemed to have completely changed their behavior?
