Strongest replication

Although Chu Zhongtian was born in Lucheng and lived there until he was sixteen, he had never been to the palace, and he yearned for it very much.

This time, because of Qianlong Pavilion, he had the opportunity to follow Chu Tianyun to enter the palace, a divine place, for the first time.

However, reality is often not as good as imagined. Because the palace is far from being as magnificent as he imagined, and even the environment is far inferior to the residence of the Chu family. The only thing that can be praised is that the palace is full of a natural pressure, which makes people feel involuntarily bowing their heads and surrendering.

Walking on the road specially paved with jade, Chu Zhongtian looked at the buildings of the palace while listening to Chu Tianyun's introduction of the layout of the palace.

Until he stepped through a purple gate, Chu Zhongtian saw Qi Heng, the king of Qi, standing in front of the door of the hearing hall with Qi Yilong and others waiting, which made Chu Zhongtian very puzzled.

Although the overall strength of the royal family is weak now, and the government orders cannot leave Lucheng, the real foundation of the Qi family is not inferior to that of the Chu family. Moreover, the Qi family is still the real ruler of Qi State, and Qi Heng is the most honorable person in Qi State.

With his honorable status, how could he stand outside the hearing hall and wait for Chu Tianyun and others in person?

"Your Majesty, I greet you!" Seeing Qi Heng leading the royal officials to welcome him, Chu Tianyun hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"Lord Chu, no need to be polite!" When Chu Tianyun and others bowed, Qi Heng smiled and hurriedly indicated that no need to be polite.

"Lord Chu, how have you considered the matter?" After Chu Tianyun and others stood up, Qi Heng asked with a slightly anxious tone.

"Your Majesty, although I personally agree with your idea, the elders in the clan strongly oppose it. My Chu family is not a one-man show, so the deal cannot be reached." Hearing Qi Heng mention the deal, Chu Tianyun shook his head and said with a very regretful tone.

"Brother Chu, is it really impossible to trade? I can still add some more chips." Seeing Chu Tianyun decisively reject the deal that was discussed a few days ago, Qi Heng asked anxiously.

"Alas! I'm afraid it really won't work!" Chu Tianyun sighed lightly, his expression showing great regret, but his attitude was very firm.

Qi Yilong, who was standing behind Qi Heng, lost his original expectation when he heard Chu Tianyun reject his father's deal, but his unwilling eyes swept back and forth between Chu Zhongtian and Chu Yuping.

After Chu Tianyun completely rejected the deal, Qi Yilong suddenly had an idea in his heart. He took a step forward, first discussed it in Qi Heng's ear, and then said to Chu Tianyun: "Yilong meets the Lord of Chu."

"Fifth Prince, you're welcome!" Seeing Qi Yilong step forward to answer, Chu Tianyun couldn't help but be a little alert.

Compared with Qi Heng's mediocrity, Qi Yilong is much better.

Although he is very young now, has experienced too little, is a little immature in experience, and is not mature enough in doing things, but because of this, some unexpected strategies give these old guys a headache.

"Lord Chu, although you don't agree to the transaction, if the owner of the transaction agrees, you won't stop it, right?" Qi Yilong was humble, but his tone was pressing step by step.

"This...!" Facing Qi Yilong's step-by-step pressure, Chu Tianyun suddenly had a headache. Because he didn't know how to refuse Qi Yilong's question.

"Ha...! Lord Chu, since this is a matter between the younger generation, it is better to leave it to them to discuss. Now Lord Chu, please come with me to the hearing hall first!" Hearing his son's proposal, Qi Heng instantly understood his original intention.

If you talk to the person who is trading, not only will the chips you pay be reduced, but the possibility of success will be greater. The premise must be to let Chu Tianyun leave. Because Chu Tianyun, as the patriarch of the Chu family, has a strong influence on the person who is trading.

"Your Majesty...!" Seeing Qi Heng and his son teaming up to fight him, Chu Tianyun was a little annoyed, but this place was the palace after all. Whether in terms of strength or morality, he could only choose to swallow his anger temporarily.

"Let's go!" Seeing Chu Zhongtianyun's uncertain attitude, Qi Heng, who was afraid that things would change, hurried forward a few steps and directly pulled Chu Tianyun away from the scene.

After Chu Tianyun left, Qi Yilong walked straight to Chu Yuping, changed his arrogant attitude in the past, and greeted Chu Yuping in a very easy-going tone.

It was not until he saw Qi Yilong talking to Chu Yuping that the confused Chu Zhongtian finally understood what the deal between Qi Heng and Chu Tianyun was just about.

It seems that the Qi family still has not given up on the quota to enter the Qianlong Pavilion, and wants to exchange the quota in Chu Yuping's hands through the exchange of interests.

For practitioners, realm breakthrough and potential improvement are the foundation. No matter what kind of exchange, it is impossible to exchange these two things. How could the Qi family have such an idea?

However, it makes sense after a moment's thought. If the Qi family can offer enough chips and is attractive enough, Chu Yuping might be tempted.

Chu Zhongtian was a little worried about this. After all, the Qi family is the royal family of Qi, and has been passed down for more than a thousand years. There must be many precious treasures in their hands. It is hard to guarantee that Chu Yuping will not be tempted!

Thinking of this, Chu Zhongtian hurriedly looked at Chu Yuping. After seeing the excited look on Chu Yuping's face, his inner worries became stronger.

Although he was very worried that Chu Yuping would agree to the exchange, Chu Zhongtian would not come forward to stop it. The reason why he tried his best to help Chu Yuping break into the top three was not only because he saw Chu Yuping's potential, but also because of his selfless character.

Although Chu Tianyun has been in office for only more than ten years, and there are still nearly twenty years before he abdicates, if he breaks through the Qi transformation stage in a short period of time, he will gradually retreat behind the scenes anyway. At that time, the Chu family will select the successor in advance, that is, the young patriarch.

According to the best children of the current young and young generations of the Chu family, Chu Zhongtian is 90% sure to compete for the position of successor.

Chu Zhongtian is interested in the position of the young patriarch, not because of the power brought by that position, but because that position can bring him enough cultivation resources. In other words, even if he becomes the young patriarch, he will not have time to deal with family affairs, and he must arrange a few confidants to help him.

Chu Yuping is one of the confidants he is interested in and plans to arrange to help him in the future.

Chu Zhongtian has three conditions for choosing confidants: loyalty, strength and ability.

If Chu Yuping can refuse Qi Yilong's deal, it means that he is determined to improve his strength and potential, and is absolutely loyal to the Chu family.

As for his abilities, with more than a dozen elders in the clan who are in the body refining stage cooperating with him, his abilities will gradually improve.
