There were three old men. All of them were skinny, with white hair and beards. They were full of vigor, and their faces were dignified. The one in the middle had a trace of worry between his brows. He was the father of the nine Chen brothers, Chen Long.
Chen Long had many heirs in the Chen family, and he was also the previous family head. The main responsibility of the Chen family naturally fell on his shoulders. As for the other elders, they were either the Chen family's old servants or the Chen family's ancestors who didn't have any heirs. They were all extremely experienced people.
At this time, Chen Long was glaring at Chen Tianhe. There was no lack of blame in his eyes.
"Dad …" Chen Tianhe helplessly called out.
"Tianhe, you're my favorite son. But now that such a big thing has happened, you didn't even tell us? You've really grown up, "scolded Chen Long.
"Dad, I was just worried you'd keep worrying. I wanted to wait until this matter was over before informing you," explained Chen Tianhe.
"Humph, what's the use of informing us old things after you've completely lost the Chen Family?" The old man at the side immediately shouted sternly.
"Third uncle, you're being too serious. I've already calculated that if we really lose this huge debt, at most we'll lose eighty percent of our assets. Give me a few years, and I'll definitely be able to earn it back," said Chen Tianhe.
"What? You'll be able to earn back eighty percent in a few years? Tianhe, you're a responsible child. When did you learn to brag? "The elder was Chen Long's younger brother, Chen Gongquan, and he found it funny.
"Dad, uncle, we all agree that in order to resolve the family's crisis, the only way is to drive Chen Tianhe's family out and let them fend for themselves." With Chen Haoran taking the lead, the other brothers all nodded in agreement.
"Drive them out? That's a bit too serious. "The elder who hadn't spoken this entire time also frowned.
"Grand uncle, fairy Mu Lan is one of the seven fairies of the universe Academy. She's extremely famous and has countless admirers. Even the city lord has to follow her lead. If we don't drive them out, then we'll really be doomed," argued Chen Yiyang.
"This … second brother, this is your family's matter. You can do as you see fit." The eldest brother, Chen Zhengzhi, finally relinquished his authority to Chen Long.
"Second Brother, if you don't make a decision, you'll be in trouble. I hope that for the sake of the clan, you won't let your emotions affect your decisions." Chen Gongquan hurriedly warned him. "Also, don't ignore the opinions of the Senate."
"Hmph, I know what to do." Chen Long had a troubled look on his face. He walked up to Chen Xinghe, stretched out his wrinkled old hand, and gently touched Chen Xinghe's face. He asked, "Tianhe, where is Chen Jiu? Such a big thing has happened. Can't he stand up and take responsibility like a man?"
"Father, Jiu 'er is sensible now. Don't blame him. He didn't do it on purpose this time," Chen Tianhe said with a gratified smile.
"Sigh, you still spoil him so much, but do you know? If not for you spoiling him all along, could he become like this today? "Chen Long sighed helplessly.
"Father, is there no room for negotiation?" Chen Tianhe felt more and more disappointed. As the current family head, he was actually going to be driven out. That was too cruel.
"This is the Senate's decision. I can't do anything about it." Chen Long's expression was bitter. His son was his flesh and blood. How could he so easily bear to part with him?
"Alright, I understand. Father, don't make things difficult. I, Chen Tianhe, won't implicate the clan." Chen Tianhe immediately became arrogant. "Even if I have to sell everything I have, I won't use a single cent from you. You don't need to worry."
"Tianhe, don't worry. I'll leave the clan with you. We'll live and die together." Chen Long suddenly made a shocking announcement.
"What? Second brother, are you crazy?! "The eldest brother, Chen Zhengzhi, immediately widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Big brother, I'm not crazy. Do you still remember what the Chen family's ancestral teachings say? We're born from the same roots, connected by the same bloodline, and the same source of Qi. We'll endure hardships together, share blessings together, and rely on each other in life and death. We'll never leave each other. "Chen Long rebuked." But now? My grandson just committed a small crime. He didn't kill anyone, but you want to drive them away?! I really can't watch this! "
"Second brother, don't be impulsive." Chen Zhengzhi urgently urged. "The Senate didn't directly drive them away. Perhaps there's still room for negotiation."
"Father, what are you doing? Aren't we your sons? " The other brothers were all extremely dissatisfied. It was like they were blaming Chen Long for favoring one over the other. They didn't like him at all.
"There's no need to say anything. I've already made up my mind." Chen Long was incomparably resolute.
"No, I don't agree to this. Second brother, I'll ask the Senate to protect their lives. You can't act rashly," said Chen Zhengzhi unyieldingly.
"Father, this unfilial Chen Tianhe has already kowtowed to you. Don't do anything stupid for me." Chen Tianhe naturally also disagreed.
"Fourth brother, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and take your people away from the clan. We'll persuade father." The other brothers also began to push aside Chen Tianhe.
"I … I know." Chen Tianhe looked at Chen Long and finally chose to leave quietly. However, at this moment, an explosion sounded.
"Father, I'm back." Chen Jiu was travel-worn and wearing a servant's uniform. He barged in like a hammer, which really shocked everyone. When did this bastard learn martial arts?
"Hmph, Chen Jiu, you still know to come back. Follow your father, pack your things and get out of here. Haha …" A mocking voice directly sounded, and his eyes were full of contempt.
"Chen Yuexian, what do you mean? This is my house. How dare you ask me to leave? Are you tired of living? "Chen Jiu was extremely angry. He pointed at the young man and immediately questioned him.
"Brat, how dare you stare at me? Get out of here." The younger generation now almost all wanted to beat up Chen Jiu to vent their anger. Chen Yuexian seized the opportunity and struck out with his palm.
"Oh? The eighth level Waterfall Palm of the Mang Mountain Waterfall Energy Skill. "Chen Jiu slightly opened his eyes and immediately recognized the energy used by Chen Yuexian. Instead of retreating, he immediately struck out with his palm with infinite strength.
"Bang!" The speed of the collision was very fast. Chen Yuexian screamed and was sent flying in the air. He fell to the ground and vomited blood. Especially one of his palms, the bones and tendons were broken, and the flesh was badly mutilated.
"What? Chen Yuexian is a first level warrior. Although he's not a genius, he's still a genius among the younger generation. How can he not even withstand one palm of his? "Suddenly, many elders were dumbfounded. Was this still the same playboy?
