"Qi-Tian, you didn''t tell anyone that Ye Fan is Chu Tian-Fan, did you?" asked Chu Zheng-Liang as he leveled a solemn look at
his own son.
Chu Qi-Tian shook his head. "No, father. No one knows that Ye Fan, the man who died by my master''s de in the rainforest, is
Chu Tian-Fan, the child who had been cast out from the Chu family."
"Good." Chu Zheng-Liang nodded. "Take that secret to the grave. Tell no one. We cast him out of the Chu family. His reputation
as a powerful martial artist will only bring embarrassment to the Chu family. It would appear that we made a mistake by casting
him out. It''ll also affect your status in the Chu family adversely."
Chu Zheng-Liang was speaking the truth.
Everyone knew that Chu Qi-Tian was the most talented martial artist amongst the young ones in the Chu family.
Should anyone in the sect find out how powerful a martial artist Chu Tian-Fan was, they would start topare him with
Chu Qi-Tian.
It was clear who would emerge victorious.
Be it martial arts or his appeal to women, Chu Qi-Tian couldn''tpare with Ye Fan at all.
That was why they wanted to keep Ye Fan''s true identity a secret.
Chu Qi-Tian knew why they had to do so, of course.
That didn''t mean that he wasn''t unhappy about having to do it.
"Father, what does that country bumpkin have that | don''t? It''s upsetting enough that he''s a stronger martial artist than | am, why
does he get all the powerful women as well? How does he do it? What did he do to deserve them? Why? What has Chu Tian-
Fan done? Why would such a powerful woman do something like that for him? Am | really not a match for some bastard child of
a woman from the countryside?"
These repeated blows to his ego had left Chu Qi-Tian feeling defeated.
He had begun to question his own abilities.
The confidence and arrogance that he had once possessed had been utterly crushed by Ye Fan.
Up to this point, he had not realized the chasm that separated him and Ye Fan.
While he had been alive, Ye Fan had been a far more powerful warrior than he could possibly be.
Now that he was dead, Ye Fan was still the victor. He had won the hearts of women whom Chu Qi-Tian could never hope to
possess.
Chu Zheng-Liang''s heart softened when he saw how defeated and frustrated his son was. He patted the young man''s heart and
said softly, in aforting voice. "My son, why do you belittle yourself? | was inferior to your uncle in many ways in the past as
well. Everyone''s attention was drawn to your uncle. They said that he was a rare prodigy and the hope and future of the Chu
family."
"But look at us now! Look at who''s got thestugh and who''s the one who''s the head of the family n. It''s me. One defeat
hardly matters in the grand scheme of things. The victor is the one who gets thestugh. Chu Tian-Fan''s older than you. It''s
natural that he''s the stronger martial artist. Who knows? You might be more powerful than he was when you reach his _ 91
age.
"As for women, well, don''t give up just yet. I''ve hunted down the perfect wife for you many years ago and gotten her father to
promise her hand to you. Just make sure you marry her. Your father will have everything else all nned out for you. In a few
decades, you''ll be the one upying the position that your master, Tang Yun is upying now."
Chu Zheng-Liang''s words were like a fireball that had erupted in the room, setting everything aze.
The ambition he had revealed in his words was grand beyond measure.
Chu Qi-Tian reeled with shock and awe.
"Father, are you saying...that I''m going to be the sect leader of Chu Sect? Are you telling me that I''m going to be the most
powerful man in the world?"
Chu Qi-Tian''s greatest ambition had been to inherit the position as the head of the Chu family n.
He had never imagined that he could be the head of all three families in Chu Sect and the most powerful man in the martial arts
circle.
After all, all three families in Chu Sect were filled with powerful men and women.
There were also plenty other incredible and gifted martial artists in Chu Sect.
He was hardly a contender for the position of sect leader. He wasn''t powerful or influential enough.
But his father had just told him that he had a chance. Chu Qi-Tian was stunned.
"Why not? My son''s got the look of an
emperor! | won''t be surprised if you
advance to the god realm and
be as powerful as an actual
god,”ughed Chu Zheng:LiangoHfie

"Don''t worry, father. Look at how charming your son is! | can handle any woman. Tell me whom you''ve picked out for me! Who''s
the one who caught your eye?" asked Chu Qi-Tian curiously.
Chu Zheng-Liang smiled. "You''re no stranger to her. She''s the young princess of the Jones family, Angie Jones."
"Her? That entric loner?"
Everyone in the three families under Chu Sect had heard about the freak from the Jones family.
Chu Qi-Tian was no exception.
He was naturally displeased when he realized that his future wife was a freak.
"What''s wrong with you, father? How could you have me marry that freak? | don''t want to marry a woman and have her hang out
with wild animals all the time."
Chu Zheng-Liang wasn''t irked by Chu
Qi-Tian''s protests. He simply gave his
son a curious smile. "Don''t

Angie had been confined to her family home all these years. Besides her family, outsiders hadn''t had much of an opportunity to
see her.
"Alright. I''l do as you say.” Chu Qi-Tian nodded. He would pay a visit to the Jones''s tomorrow.
