Transcending the Nine Heavens

CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX: I DARE TO SWEAR THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME

The others also shrank their necks at the same time.

Damn it, this kid's shamelessness has reached its peak. This matter was clearly orchestrated by you; who can't see through it? This is simply your revenge for the family depriving you of your financial resources, working in collusion with the enforcers to create this scenario.

Now, you actually pretend to be innocent, claiming you have nothing to do with it. If anyone believes you, that would be a ghost.

However, everyone was also afraid to pressure him further. Didn't he say? He was going to report you to the enforcers for defamation... The enforcers had already created an unprecedented charge of 'obscenity' for this kid; what’s so surprising about arresting someone else for 'defamation'?

Every steward in this room has reached their position because they are smart. Everyone knows that once caught, with this kid fanning the flames, even if they don't die, they will still lose a layer of skin!

Who dares to provoke him?

Chu Xiong Cheng coughed and said, “Chu Yang, don’t be so agitated. Everyone is discussing the matter; just speak if you have something to say. I would also like to hear your explanation.”

Chu Yang was stunned. “Grandfather, what explanation do you want to hear?”

Chu Xiong Cheng's face darkened. “The explanation for why the enforcers are arresting people!”

Chu Yang shrugged his shoulders, looking extremely wronged. “Grandfather, that puts me in a difficult position. That’s the enforcers doing their job; how would I know the explanation? If you want to know, you’re asking the wrong person; you should ask the enforcers…”

Everyone was simultaneously dizzy.

Damn it, why would they ask you when they can ask the enforcers?

One steward mumbled, “Perhaps Young Master Chu Yang is upset because the two young masters went to the Amethyst Rejuvenation Hall, so he…” This guy didn't dare to show his face, hiding in the crowd, clearly afraid that Chu Yang would report him for defamation to the enforcers…

Everyone revealed expressions that clearly said ‘that must be the case.’

Chu Xiong Cheng sighed deeply and said, “Chu Yang, Grandfather knows you’ve suffered some grievances regarding the Amethyst Rejuvenation Hall. However, you and Teng Hu and Teng Jiao are blood brothers! Moreover, with the family in such a situation, it’s not exactly honorable, so in Grandfather's view, this matter should not be pursued further. You should bring those two brothers out; Grandfather will definitely give you an explanation, how about that?”

Clearly, the old man also believed that this matter must be related to Chu Yang…

Chu Yang, feeling wronged, said, “Grandfather, you’ve got it wrong. Even if I’m not very knowledgeable, I know we are family, blood is thicker than water. To be honest, I was indeed a bit resentful when the Amethyst Rejuvenation Hall was taken back by the family; after all, I’m young and hot-headed. But I’ve thought it through…”

He raised his head, speaking with righteous indignation: “Because we are part of the family, everything must be considered for the family! I am always ready to sacrifice for the family, to give my all for the family! The interests of the family are supreme! The reputation of the family is paramount! Strengthening the family’s power is the top priority! We do everything for the family, dedicating ourselves until death! Even if it’s a mountain of knives or a sea of flames, as long as the family needs me, I wouldn’t even frown!”

At this point, everyone in the hall was already half-dazed. My God, this guy really dares to say that! Look at how loyal he sounds; in comparison, we feel like we should just kill ourselves out of shame…

Chu Yang was full of energy, speaking more and more passionately: “Therefore, the decision to take back the Amethyst Rejuvenation Hall was the wisest decision! I wholeheartedly support this!”

“As for Teng Hu and Teng Jiao, just as Grandfather said, we are brothers! Although we are not born of the same mother, we are still blood brothers! They are both young; I should allow them to take the lead in everything, and it doesn’t matter if I suffer some grievances for them! Because they are my brothers! I was once lonely and solitary, but now I have two such good and loving brothers; I fear they might melt in my mouth or fall from my hands... In the days we’ve spent together, I am so happy! We have deep brotherly bonds, and we get along extremely well; they feel like fish in water with me, and I feel even more deeply connected with them! How could I betray them? I cherish them, care for them, and love them!”
