Supreme Tamer - Chapter 512

Chapter 512: Chapter 384: The Exile from Chu Family, Chu Tianqi

(The chapter title is wrong, the correct one is “Exile from Chu Family, Chu Tianren”.)

(Chu Mu’s grandfather, Chu Ming’s third son is Chu Tianren, the person who was rumored to have died prematurely, will be explained in detail in this chapter.)

(Chu Ming’s fifth son, Chu Tianqi, didn’t make an appearance during Chu Mu’s return to the Chu Family. He was just mentioned as managing the family’s assets. He has a daughter, Chu Yishui.)

Inside the Restaurant

After sitting down, Chu Xing and Chu Ning told Chu Mu some details about the situation.

The development of the family is still relatively stable, and they didn’t encounter any serious obstacles. Everyone else in the family is doing quite well.

Knowing that the family is developing steadily, Chu Mu felt relieved. What worries Chu Mu the most while struggling alone outside is the condition of his family. After all, the strength of the family is very limited. If some strong people get involved, it would be easily crushed.

The decision of the family head, Chu Ming, to choose a more remote location for migration was wise. In this way, the family strength can also gradually develop. There will be no more family turmoil in the future…

“I’ve always been abroad, and it’s hard to keep an eye on family matters. Big brother, third brother, the future of the family depends on you guys,” Chu Mu said.

It’s not that Chu Mu doesn’t care about his family now, but Chu Mu also has his own potential threats. Once these threats involve the family, it will bring a fatal blow to the family. Therefore, Chu Xing and Chu Ning still need to shoulder the responsibilities of the family.

Chu Xing and Chu Ning naturally understand and nod, saying, “Oh, before we left, Grandpa told us something. This time we came out, Grandpa also wanted us to find him.”

“What happened?” Chu Mu asked.

“Do you remember when we were children, we often asked why we’ve never seen third Uncle?” Chu Ning asked.

“Hmm, what happened? Wasn’t he supposed to have left early?” Chu Mu nodded.

Chu Mu’s father, Chu Tianmang, is Chu Ming’s fourth son, and in addition to Chu Tianmang, he has another son named Chu Tianren. The third generation of the family almost never saw him. When asking the elders, they all said he died while exercising outdoors.

Chu Mu has always been unaware of this. Chu Mu was secretly curious as to why Chu Xing and Chu Ning suddenly brought this up.

“Third Uncle Chu Tianren actually left the family early to exercise outside. According to what Grandpa knows, at the time when Fourth Uncle Chu Tiancheng had not truly risen, Third Uncle Chu Tianren had gradually gained some fame outside. Third Uncle Chu Tianren was in conflict with Grandpa’s character, and because of some issues, he angered Grandpa, causing a father-son dispute. He has been reluctant to return to the family for many years. Many years later, Third Uncle Chu Tianren came back to the family, his strength by then was already strong…” Chu Xing said in a steady tone.

“Was there such a thing? I really didn’t know that our third uncle in the family has always been alive,” Chu Mu truly didn’t know.

“Yes. When Third Uncle returned, he was even more arrogant. By then, Third Uncle’s power was much beyond Grandpa’s, and Grandpa had no control over him. Soon after, your father also returned from outside, and he was very dissatisfied with Third Uncle Chu Tianren’s attitude. So they had some conflicts. Your father’s power was stronger than Third Uncle’s, and after Third Uncle was defeated by Fourth Uncle, he left the family directly, and there was no news about him later…” Chu Xing continued.

Chu Mu had been in the Chu family for a not too short time, but had never heard about this. Chu Tianmang was known as one of the five peaks of that era. If Third Uncle Chu Tianren could engage in a fight with his father, then his power must have been top-notch. If he were still alive, he would have been some important character by now!

“Third Uncle Chu Tianren always angered Grandpa, so afterwards, Grandpa told everyone that Third Uncle had died early out of fear that anyone might get upset when mentioning him. So he never let anyone mention Third Uncle, and told us all that Third Uncle had died early in life.”

“For so many years, Grandpa has always been worried about Third Uncle, and wants to know his current situation…”

When Chu Xing reached this point, he sighed slightly, looked at Chu Mu, and continued, “Before, Grandpa could hide these emotions, but now Grandpa is gradually getting old. When Grandpa is sitting alone, he is always thinking about Third Uncle. He really hopes that Third Uncle can return to the family. After all, family is family…”

Upon hearing this, Chu Mu also felt a touch of melancholy. No wonder Grandpa Chu Ming always seemed to hide something unspeakable whenever he saw him. It turns out it was because of his unmet Third Uncle Chu Tianren.

Chu Mu knows that his father, Chu Tianmang, is after all the adopted son of Chu Ming. Although Chu Ming treated him like his own child, blood ties are always hard to articulate. Hearing what Chu Xing said just now, it is certain that Third Uncle Chu Tianren must be Chu Ming’s most beloved biological son with great expectations. But in the end, they had a big fallout…

Emotions, no matter how hard you try to hide them, whether it’s for ten years, twenty years, cannot be hidden forever. Chu Ming is getting older, and if he’s unable to let go of this matter in his heart before he reaches the end of his life, he will have regrets.

“One of the reasons why Grandpa stubbornly refused to relocate the family even though he knew it was declining was Third Uncle Chu Tianren. He hoped that Third Uncle would come back at least one day. Now that the family has relocated, what Grandpa is most worried about is this matter. Before we left, Grandpa specifically told us about this matter…”

“This is what Grandpa told us: ‘If one day you meet your Third Uncle, tell him where my grave is. When he has time, he can come by and take a few steps.’” Chu Xing’s voice became heavy.

“So, do you have any news about him?” Chu Mu asked.

In the vast sea of people, it would be too difficult to find someone unless Chu Tianren is now a very famous Soul Pet Master, in which case, the chances of finding him would be much higher.

“My father has always been inquiring about Third Uncle for Grandpa, and the unconfirmed news is that Third Uncle is in World City, likely under a pseudonym. If he changed his name, it would be very difficult for us to find him,” Chu Xing said.

“You are now gradually moving towards becoming an expert. Big Uncle suggested that Third Uncle is now a strong one in the Soul Pet Field. Our own strength is limited, and we can’t reach some of the real strong ones. Therefore, this matter relies on you. If you can inform Third Uncle, then Grandpa will have no regrets,” Chu Ning said.

Chu Mu nodded. It was a matter of honor for Chu Mu, as Chu Ming has always treated Chu Mu well. How could Chu Mu allow him to continue living with such regrets?

…..

“Excuse me, are Big Brothers Chu Xing and Chu Ning inside?” a female voice slowly passed from outside the screen at this point.

Chu Xing and Chu Ning exchanged glances; all three of them were in a strange environment, so there was no need to deliberately hide their conversations in their discussions. It was normal for a person outside the screen to be able to hear.

“It seems to be Little Sister Meng’er?” Chu Ning also recognized the voice of Qin Meng’er.

Chu Xing nodded, signaling the maid to push aside the flowery screen.

When the screen was pushed aside, it was indeed Qin Meng’er standing there, her big pretty eyes staring at the three Chu brothers.

“Can…Can I Come in?” Qin Meng’er asked softly.

“Oh, of course.” Chu Xing nodded.

Qin Meng’er cautiously walked in, lowering her head. It took a while before she said with some apology, “I’m really sorry about just now. My senior brother caused some embarrassment, I couldn’t disobey him, so….”

“It doesn’t matter; we’ve been used to it over the years,” Chu Ning casually responded.

Chu Xing and Chu Ning were no longer individuals who couldn’t keep their composure. How could they care about such a thing? They could guess that Qin Meng’er had her own difficulties…

Seeing Chu Xing and Chu Ning did not care about this matter, a smile appeared on Qin Meng’er’s face. She was really worried that the two older brothers would see her as a snobbish person.

“Who is this?” Qin Meng’er quickly noticed Chu Mu sitting between Chu Xing and Chu Ning.

“Oh, this is Chu Chen, son of my third uncle. You must not have met him before. In fact, we haven’t seen each other in almost a decade. It’s unexpected to meet here, hehe,” Chu Xing quickly revealed Chu Mu’s identity.

“Yes, yes,” Chu Ning nodded immediately, echoing Chu Xing’s words.

Chu Mu smiled and nodded. As soon as Qin Meng’er came in, Chu Mu had used his soul sense to give Chu Xing and Chu Ning a heads up in advance.

“Meng’er, Meng’er?” At this point, the voice of the Luoyu Gate youth seemed to come from behind the screen.

Qin Meng’er showed an expression of disgust and helplessness, and apologized to the three with a smile, “Could the three brothers give me a contact method? I’ll look for you if I get the chance. I have to visit a predecessor of our Luoyu Gate in Soul Hall with my senior brother next.”

“So you’re here….” Qin Meng’er’s senior brother came over soon after. Seeing that Qin Meng’er was talking with the two individuals from before, surprise appeared on his face as he wondered how those two managed to get into the restaurant again.

“It’s you guys. You all should be townsfolk with my junior sister, right?” Qin Meng’er’s senior brother gave a casual greeting to the three of them.

Despite no explicit mockery from him, contempt could be seen in his eyes. There are always some people in this world who do not know how to respect others and cannot hide their emotions. Qin Meng’er’s senior brother was clearly one of them, he naturally looks down on others.

Chu Xing and Chu Ning wanted to scorn him, but they wouldn’t show it explicitly and just faked a smile.

Chu Mu could clearly see that Chu Xing and Chu Ning disliked this guy, and he sneered secretly.

“You’re heading to the Soul Hall? It just so happens we are, too. Let’s go together.” Chu Mu stood up and said to Qin Meng’er.

“Huh? We’re going to the Soul Hall?” Chu Ning looked puzzled.

Chu Mu gave him a sign, and Chu Ning quickly reacted, and changed his words, “Right, we’re going to the Soul Hall. I forgot about it after a drink. You don’t mind us tagging along, right?”
