68: Chapter 68 Hypocrisy!
Chu Xiao took a step back, avoiding Chu Chen's incoming palm strike, and asked coldly, "For the Immortality Technique, you could actually kill Grandpa?"
He asked this nonsensical question without any hesitation!
After all, even the System had issued a quest!
Could it possibly be fake?
Chu Chen's expression changed slightly; he clearly hadn't expected Chu Xiao to know about this. He couldn't understand it; killing Chu Jianghe in the Taklamakan Desert was extremely secretive, and besides him and the Woman in Red Dress, no one else knew.
How did the Chu Xiao in front of him find out?
Chu Chen looked sideways at the Woman in Red Dress with questioning eyes. Excluding all other possibilities, there was only one truth: the Woman in Red Dress beside him had leaked the secret!!!
No!
If that were the case, why would the Woman in Red Dress help him break the formation?
No! No! No!
Chu Chen racked his brain but still couldn't understand the reason.
At this moment, the Woman in Red Dress also had a look of surprise on her face. She shook her head slowly, indicating that she hadn't leaked anything.
Chu Xiao had already taken in their expressions and had an answer in his heart. It seemed his grandfather Chu Jianghe really was murdered by the two people in front of him!
Old Taoist Xu Que truly was foolproof in his calculations!
That Divination Technique indeed had some merit to it; it seemed he should study it well himself!
"Silly brother, what are you talking about! What do you mean I killed Grandpa! Isn't Grandpa at home?"
Chu Chen smiled with feigned confusion.
However, a flash of killing intent passed through his smile!
Chu Xiao was disgusted to the point of vomiting by this person's ugly face. He couldn't help but let out an eerie laugh and said, "For thirty years, my grandfather treated you like his own son! How could you lay a hand on the old man! Do you still have a shred of humanity or conscience!"
The surroundings became much quieter.
A breeze blew, the shadows of the trees rustled, and Chu Chen's face became exceptionally cold at this moment.
He said deeply, "Hmph! I don't care how you found out! For the sake of us growing up together, I won't make things difficult for you! I won't even kill you! From now on, just be a playboy of the second generation! I will protect you and let you continue to live a life free of worry! You will enjoy resources that ordinary people can never touch!"
"Don't ask too many questions! Just be a good-for-nothing! Otherwise, your end will be the same as that old thing's. Don't force me!"
Hearing this, Chu Xiao couldn't help but cover his face and laugh. His laugh was eerie and extremely unsettling. After a long while, he suddenly shouted, "So, I should thank you for letting me be a carefree good-for-nothing? Is that right! My dear big brother!"
Chu Chen also shouted deeply, "Little brother! Don't force me! Everything I did was out of necessity! If the old man had been willing to pass the Immortality Technique to me earlier, how could I have made such a move against him! Go! I really don't want to move against you too!"
Although he already had the answer in his heart,
hearing it with his own ears still made Chu Xiao's heart skip a beat, followed by a piercing pain. He once thought the best brother he had in this world was the Chu Chen before him, his dear big brother!
Ridiculous!
Utterly ridiculous!
"This is the Immortality Technique you've been longing for! Want it? Then take it from my corpse!"
Chu Xiao slowly pulled out a yellowed Notebook from his robes and waved it in front of the two.
Seeing the yellowed Notebook that recorded the Immortality Technique, Chu Chen's pupils constricted instantly, his eyes revealing endless greed. He reached out and said,
"Little brother, quickly give that Immortality Technique to me. I won't treat you poorly. From now on, I'll protect you and ensure you live without worry; I'll even make you the heir to the Chu Group. I can even let you Cultivate this Immortality Technique with me! From now on, we two brothers will be The Immortals who transcend the world!"
His voice was incredibly excited.
Beside him, the Woman in Red Dress's beautiful eyes held some doubt, but more greed. She spoke coldly, "At a time like this, why are you still pretending to have deep brotherly affection? Just kill him and take the Immortality Technique!"
"Shut up!" Chu Chen roared, clenching his fists as he looked at Chu Xiao, saying with full sincerity, "Little brother, haven't you always listened to me? Are you going to be foolish about this too? That's the Immortality Technique! About Grandpa, I didn't want to either! But he... wait! Why do you have the Immortality Technique! Could it be that old thing already passed it to you!"
At this point, endless jealousy flashed in his eyes.
Chu Xiao laughed loudly, tearing the yellowed Notebook to pieces in front of them, then tossing them into the air, laughing, "There! The Immortality Technique has vanished from this world forever! Are you happy? My dear big brother!"
"You!... Damn it! You fool! You really are a piece of mud that can't be stuck to a wall!" Chu Chen's eyes nearly split from rage. He rushed over frantically, squatting down to quickly pick up the fragments of the Notebook.
Chu Xiao stepped on several fragments in front of him, grinding them to dust, and said, "Mud is mud, why must it be stuck to a wall? Now I've destroyed your Immortality Technique! What are you going to do? Kill me?"
With bloodshot eyes, Chu Chen roared, "You think I don't dare!"
Chu Xiao laughed, "You don't dare? What don't you dare! You even killed Grandpa! Why not kill me! If you don't kill me today, tomorrow I will definitely kill you!"
Chu Chen was truly enraged. He stood up in fury, grabbed Chu Xiao by the neck, lifted him high, and hissed, "I'll kill you! I'll kill you right now!"
Veins popped on Chu Xiao's face. Being strangled, he couldn't say a word, but his eyes showed endless disdain, as if saying: Kill me! Kill me! Come and kill me!
However,
something unexpected happened.
Chu Chen seemed like a deflated balloon. He let go of Chu Xiao, sat on the ground, and started crying silently, waving his hand, "Go! I won't kill you! I've failed my Master, I've failed your grandfather! You are the Chu Clan's only Bloodline left! I cannot kill you!"
These words were quite a surprise to Chu Xiao.
Seeing Chu Xiao standing there dazed and motionless as if thinking about something, Chu Chen roared, "Why haven't you left yet! Do you really want to be killed! Get out!"
Beside them, the Woman in Red Dress frowned slightly. She naturally couldn't let Chu Xiao go. Even if Chu Xiao was a good-for-nothing who cannot Cultivate, he was still the heir to the Chu Group, holding vast social resources and countless wealth.
Chu Xiao turned in silence and walked step by step toward the gate.
His pace was very slow!
At that moment, Chu Chen suddenly raised his head again. With a flash of movement, he arrived behind Chu Xiao with extreme speed. A sharp dagger appeared from his sleeve, and he swung it quickly.
