Chapter 69 - Good Things Come in Pairs
Upon hearing this, it became obvious that Chu Liuyue had this planned already! She had secretly purchased a mansion and waited till she was accepted into Tian Lu Academy before completely turning against the family!
This way, she could get rid of the Chu family once and for all!
First Elder and the others almost passed out from anger once they realized that Chu Liuyue had made all the preparations.
If it was in the past, there wouldn’t be any objections if Chu Ning and Chu Liuyue did this. They would even be secretly glad to rid themselves of the two black sheep. However, Chu Liuyue’s status had changed drastically. This was equivalent to them being abandoned by Chu Liuyue.
If word of this incident got out, the Chu family would lose face!
“First Elder, Chu Liuyue has simply gone too far. I think we really don’t have to keep her any longer!” Chu Yan took a deep breath and started to persuade First Elder.
They could afford to be embarrassed. What mattered most was to nip this in the bud completely!
Nevertheless, not everyone agreed with Chu Yan.
“I don’t think we should be so rash. After all, Chu Liuyue is now a rare genius. The other family clans yearn to have one but can’t. If we let her go just like that, it’ll be our great loss.”
“That’s right! Besides, they are the Chu family’s trueborn direct descendants. The matter of severing ties is of great importance. Our family head is not around, so we have to be extremely careful…”
He was suddenly happy. “My goodness, isn’t this Big Chu Missy? His Majesty is so pleased to hear that you’ve been accepted into Tian Lu Academy!”
Chu Liuyue smiled and bowed. “Eunuch Min, you’re too kind. I will be sure to head to the palace to thank His Majesty personally another day.”
Eunuch Min was a popular person by His Majesty’s side. His status was more prestigious compared to the average courtiers. Nobody should offend him.
First Elder coughed, quickly adjusted his expression, and forced a smile onto his face. “Eunuch Min, what brings you here? Does His Majesty need something?”
“Oh! I’m here to announce the good news! It’s a double blessing for your family today!”
“Double blessings? May I know what you are talking about?”
Eunuch Min gave a joyous smile, gesturing with his thumb and middle finger joined while extending the rest of his fingers. “Naturally, the first blessing is that your Big Missy has been admitted into Tian Lu Academy. She also did exceptionally well, taking second place in the Xuan Master assessment and first place for the warrior assessment.
“The second blessing is that Lord Chu Ning has successfully broken through to become a stage-five warrior after recovering from his old injuries! His Majesty is so pleased that he has appointed Lord Chu Ning to be the imperial guards’ Commander in Chief! I’m here to give you these two pieces of good news! Two good things have happened to your family. It has caused many to be envious!”
