Hearing that Chen Shanhe did not want to go, Chen Guojun slapped Chen Shanhe across the face and cursed.
"You brat, you must attend this Ju Ying Gathering, otherwise our Chen family might face this calamity."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shanhe was full of shock and asked, "Father, what do you mean?"
Chen Guojun sighed helplessly, "Alas, why do you think I didn't make a move back then? Do you think I don't care about my own grandson?"
"Then why didn't you make a move back then?" Chen Shanhe pressed further.
Chen Guojun shook his head and said, "Do you think I'm truly afraid of that Yu Shuntian fellow? I cut off his grandson's hand, what can he do to me!"
Chen Shanhe suddenly realized, "Could there have been other powerful experts here at that time?"
Although he was blinded by anger back then, he could still sense three powerful auras around, but they had not made a move.
Someone that even his father feared so much, could it be... the sect leaders of the three major sects!?
Chen Guojun nodded, "That's right, those three old fellows were present at the scene, and their hostility towards me was palpable. If I had made a move, today, both of us father and son, and even Xiao Yan, might have perished here."
Chen Shanhe was somewhat puzzled, "There's a rule in the martial world, aren't the three major sects not allowed to interfere in the grievances between various martial sects?"
Chen Guojun snorted coldly, "The rules were set by them. They have the strength to set rules and the strength to break them. This world is ruled by the strongest fist. Do you really think they don't know about your little schemes?"
"The reason they didn't come out to stop it was tacit approval. If they wanted to stop it, do you think that brat from the Yu family could have severed Xiao Yan's arm in front of the sect leaders of the three major sects?"
"They are clearly giving our Chen family a warning."
After listening to Chen Guojun's explanation, Chen Shanhe broke out in a cold sweat.
If his father had made a move back then, they probably would have all stayed here today.
If the Chen family lost the two of them, within two months, they would have fallen to the status of a second-rate force, and might never have a chance to recover.
Indeed, there was a reason why the three major sects had stood head and shoulders above all other sects throughout history.
Chen Guojun looked at Chen Shanhe sternly, "Remember, the reason our Chen family has been prosperous for so long is because we know how to endure. Patience is key to great plans; a true man does not dwell on temporary successes or failures."
"I understand. I'll go attend the Ju Ying Gathering now."
After speaking, Chen Shanhe handed Chen Yan to Chen Guojun and prepared to head to the meeting hall.
Chen Guojun suddenly stopped Chen Shanhe as he thought of something, "This matter could not have been planned by Xiao Yan, nor did it originate from you. Whoever told you this is definitely not well-intentioned, wanting us Chen family and Yu Daohang to fight to the death. You must be vigilant, understand?"
Chen Shanhe was startled, not expecting his father to guess even this.
This matter was indeed not conceived by him or Xiao Yan, but by that fellow Huang Yong.
However, Chen Shanhe had suffered a loss at the hands of Yu Shuntian back then and also wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Yu Daohang.
It would be more accurate to say that this matter was a willing cooperation rather than Huang Yong instigating discord.
Recalling this.
Chen Shanhe's clenched fist slowly relaxed.
His father was right, patience is key to great plans.
Now was not the time for revenge.
Seeing Chen Shanhe suppress the killing intent in his eyes, Da Hu and Su Lai also breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially Su Lai, who had just boasted that if he encountered Chen Shanhe, he would beat him until he cried and begged for mercy.
He was just talking big. If it really came to a fight, he would be the one crying and begging for mercy.
Yu Daohang, seeing Chen Shanhe retract his killing intent, guessed that Chen Guojun must have told him something.
After all, the depth of scheming and endurance of that old fox Chen Guojun was far superior to Chen Shanhe's.
And the reason Chen Guojun hadn't attacked him just now was probably out of fear of those three.
Yu Daohang had long guessed that as the host, the three major sects would not ignore the confrontation between him and Chen Shanhe.
Moreover, he had sensed those three venerable figures present at the scene at that time.
Since they did not intervene, the only explanation was that they were willing to bear all the consequences of this matter.
Rather than being willing to bear the consequences, it was more like they had hoped for things to develop this way from the start.
To put it bluntly.
He was merely being used as a pawn by them.
Indeed, there was a reason why the three major sects had stood tall to this day.
This move was quite ruthless.
Yu Daohang and Chen Shanhe stared at each other, neither intending to speak.
Da Hu and Su Lai, who were standing nearby, were also confused.
Especially Su Lai, who was completely bewildered.
What was going on?
Fight? Not fight?
Or were they already fighting?
Could it be that the two of them were fighting using the legendary divine sense?
This was too ridiculous.
Yu Daohang's lips curled upwards, and he said with a smile, "A junior yields to a senior. Mr. Chen, please go first."
Chen Shanhe snorted lightly and strode into the meeting hall.
After Chen Shanhe entered, Su Lai looked at Yu Daohang excitedly and asked, "Master Yu, you two were fighting with divine sense, who won?"
"Divine sense?"
Yu Daohang looked at Su Lai with a bewildered expression, "What nonsense is this? Do you think this is a fantasy novel, with divine sense? Why don't you have your fighting spirit manifest as a horse."
Su Lai awkwardly rubbed the back of his head, puzzled, "Then why were you two looking at each other without moving?"
Yu Daohang was speechless.
It had to be you, Su Lai, who couldn't grasp the point of the matter at all.
Da Hu, standing nearby, also looked confused and asked, "Master Yu, why didn't Chen Shanhe make a move?"
Logically speaking, if one's son had an arm severed, the father would surely dismember the culprit.
But Chen Shanhe actually held back. He was a Black List expert.
Seeing their curiosity, Yu Daohang revealed a mysterious smile, "Want to know?"
Da Hu and Su Lai both nodded repeatedly.
Yu Daohang chuckled, deliberately playing with their curiosity, "I'll tell you why Chen Shanhe didn't make a move tonight."
Seeing Yu Daohang deliberately withholding the information, Su Lai became annoyed, "Damn it, Master Yu, you can't play with people's curiosity like this."
Yu Daohang ignored him completely and walked into the meeting hall.
Su Lai looked speechlessly at Da Hu beside him, "Aren't you curious at all?"
Da Hu shook his head, "Of course I'm curious."
"Then why aren't you reacting at all?"
Su Lai looked at Da Hu, who seemed to already know the answer, with a hint of confusion.
Da Hu looked bewildered and replied, "We'll know tonight, why should I react?"
Su Lai looked at Da Hu and clicked his tongue, "I suspect you're not human at all. How can you not have that curious expression that humans should have?"
Da Hu looked at Su Lai with an expression of concern for the intellectually challenged, then strode into the meeting hall.
Seeing Da Hu not speaking, Su Lai followed him in.
