Chapter 224: Tree Grandma Helps
There is no wall in the world that is not ventilated.
As time goes by, some of the internal situation of the Chu family will inevitably leak out.
Without going into other details, the improvement of aptitude and rapid increase in cultivation of concubines like Wei Liangnu and Xiao Hongling, who are still studying at the Chongxue Peak, are visible to the naked eye.
Ordinary people may envy and be jealous, without delving into the reasons behind it.
Those who are observant will associate it with the role played by Chu Shen's opportunities.
The impact caused by the system inevitably spreads.
This is not something that can be concealed by being low-key.
Just like in the Blue Star's economic society, when a poor person suddenly becomes rich, they become very conspicuous. People with huge resources and abundant channels, such as banks, insurance companies, and media, will actively approach them. The bombardment of text messages, phone calls, and customer service personnel's enthusiasm will exceed ordinary people's imagination.
The pace of Dongxuan Tian is slow, not as fast and exaggerated as the various reactions on the Blue Star. However, those who can occupy a high position in the ecological chain will never turn a blind eye to the growing presence.
Whether it is Yan Shu or the Xiao family, the group of people in the Langhun Heavenly Palace who can be called the "ruling class" have never had a low level of attention towards Chu Shen.
If it weren't for Chu Shen's identity as a disciple of the Holy Lord and a newly rising genius, coupled with repeatedly repelling the various attempts and provocations, establishing an impression of being "not easy to provoke," the Xiao family's attacks would probably happen every few days.
"For me and the Chu family, whether we exist in the Celestial Palace as prey or hunters is a very important matter.
The reason why I am dissatisfied with Senior Sister Yan Shu, the Holy Maiden, is because she wants me to become a prey that she can protect by practicing patience and endurance.
But in reality?
She is just leaving room for her own governance, sacrificing me when necessary, whether it's the Xiao family's attack or the disappearance of Shuzi and the second daughter.
The Old Tree Granny suddenly realized, 'So, you want to become a hunter who can take the initiative to attack!'
Chu Shen nodded, 'Yes, I have already tried to warn those coveters before, but they obviously didn't understand. So I had to use more direct means to declare this.'
Whether it was using the 'Seven Arrows of Nailhead' to kill the Xiao family's ancestor or demonstrating his own strength on various occasions, he has done quite a lot, but for the powerful forces and families, he has not shown enough power to crush himself, so they don't pay much attention to him.
'Of course, these means must be 'reasonable and justifiable,' because the peace between me and the Chu family is also constrained by their mutual influence and the rules of the Langhuan Celestial Palace.
If I use unconventional means and break the rules, they will have an excuse to disregard the rules. For me, it is still quite dangerous.'
The Old Tree Granny expressed her understanding, 'Eliminating enemies through the prohibitions of those relics is indeed reasonable and justifiable. Even if those powerful individuals cannot see through the mechanisms, they can only blame themselves.'
Chu Shen nodded, 'Yes, that's right. Since those people all see me as prey and are in opposition to me, I have no psychological pressure to kill them.'"
"Just because they are considered your fellow disciples, does that mean you are weakening the power of Langxuan Heavenly Palace by doing this? You will still be resented by many people, won't you?"
"Shu Laola, my senior sister is a fool. It's fine if you think that way, but why do you also think so?" Chu Shen rolled his eyes, indicating that although Shu Laola was very old,
she still had very little understanding of humans.
But it's normal. She has always stayed away from the mortal world, playing more of an observer role rather than a participant.
"Those forces that covet me may appear to be part of Heavenly Palace, and as part of Heavenly Palace, they are also part of its strength. But they are the 'corrupted' part.
Not only have their ideological concepts deviated from the original intention of Langxuan Heavenly Palace, but they have also parasitized Langxuan Heavenly Palace in their actions, sucking its blood to nourish themselves and exploiting numerous disciples to strengthen themselves.
Essentially, they are enemies of the entity that is Langxuan Heavenly Palace, harmful parasites, and disruptors of the healthy development of the sect.
If they continue to develop like this, when they reach their peak, they will essentially destroy the true Langxuan Heavenly Palace while wearing its skin, replacing it.
By deceiving them now, I am only eliminating harm for Langxuan Heavenly Palace, indirectly increasing the strength of the true Langxuan Heavenly Palace. It is a great act of benevolence beneficial to the sect. How could it weaken the power of Heavenly Palace?"
After a pause, Chu Shen sighed, "Originally, this kind of thing should not be the responsibility of a disciple like me. It should be the duty of my senior master Xin Feng and the Holy Maiden senior sister.
Unfortunately, my master, the Holy Lord, has gone into seclusion, avoiding reality."
My senior sister, the holy master, is really negligent in my opinion. It's like raising a tiger and inviting trouble.
Tree Granny remained silent for a while before understanding his meaning and sighed, "Your thoughts are really complicated, and human relationships are even more complicated."
Chu Shen shrugged, "Well, I guess that's just part of human life."
The crown of Tree Granny's tree swayed as if stretching, "Forget it, do as you wish. After all, you're an interesting human. Remember, Tree Granny is on your side, and so is Old Man Jin."
Chu Shen smiled, "Thank you, Tree Granny and Grandpa Jin. I will rely on both of you in the future."
"If this plan succeeds, there will definitely be sore losers coming to cause trouble. I will need your help then."
Tree Granny said with certainty, "I don't know what will happen elsewhere, but if they dare to cause trouble in the Palace of Jade, they will have no way out!"
Chu Shen nodded, "Also, I will have some concubines and children come to Grotto-Heaven for safety. I will trouble Tree Granny to take care of them."
This was for safety considerations. Since he had decided to play dirty tricks on various families, they would definitely not give up easily. He couldn't trust the limits of each family, whether it was Chen Xiu and others who were not so powerful, or the young children. If they were targeted, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
These people were not like Shu Zi and Song Xi, whose identities were questionable. They were his relatives, his bloodline. He had to protect them!
Tree Granny was delighted, "Great! Although I don't mind being alone, I also like lively scenes. It's better to have more people. Let them all come!"
With Tree Granny's promise, Chu Shen felt relieved. After arranging these "weak points," what else did he have to fear?
