"No matter whether anyone from the Nangong family comes back alive in the end, our Chen family will definitely steal the show in front of the nine major families this time, and Hongyuan is a big contributor!" Seventh Master Chen Tianming said with a smile.
Chen Tianming is Chen Xinran's father. His daughter has been close to Chen Hongyuan since she was a child, just like a biological brother and sister. Moreover, Chen Hongyuan has been very well-behaved and talented since she was a child. He is a very good child.
If it weren't for the fact that he was the second son, the head of the Chen family would definitely be his.
Moreover, even under the current situation, he still thinks that Chen Hongyuan is the most suitable person to be the head of the Chen family.
Originally, Chen Hongyuan's brilliant performance in the Nine Clan Competition allowed the other eight aristocratic families to see the strength of their Chen family. This could be regarded as winning honor for the Chen family and making some contributions to the Chen family.
Just because I only got fourth place in the end, the honor and credit naturally became much lower.
If this were the case, it would actually be very difficult for Chen Hongyuan to become the heir to the Chen family, and the chances were slim.
However, he never thought that Chen Hongyuan would choose this path and enter the Death Realm alone.
Originally, he thought it was a pity. After all, Chen Hongyuan was still young and there would be other opportunities in the future. There was no need to be so extreme.
But he never expected that Chen Hongyuan would succeed.
The mere fact that a person came back alive from the Dead Realm was enough to make people dare not underestimate Chen Hongyuan's abilities. If you want to come back alive in the Dead Realm, you must not only have some strength, but also have more survivability.
Especially since there are not many of them. I heard that Chen Hongyuan and Dongfang Feibai from the Dongfang Family are partners. With just these two people, it is really difficult for them to come back alive from the Dead Realm.
Although none of the Chen family members have ever entered the Dead Realm, they have more or less heard about the situation in the Dead Realm.
Therefore, it is really not easy for Chen Hongyuan to come back this time, and it is enough to prove his personal strength and ability.
Even if Chen Hongyuan comes back, it will only accumulate some reputation for him in the Chen family and let the Chen family know that he, Chen Hongyuan, is very strong.
But what he didn't expect was that Chen Tianxing would hold such a grand celebration banquet this time. Now the entire Chen family is promoting Chen Hongyuan's heroic deeds.
Is he hinting at something?
He didn't know, but if Chen Hongyuan could achieve such an achievement now, at least he, as his uncle, would have to support him.
"Yes, Yuan'er has indeed made great contributions to the Chen family this time. No one from our Chen family has been able to enter the Death Realm for a long time. Although he only got such a quota this time, Yuan'er did not live up to our expectations and was able to The return of the Dead Zone is already a great success.
To a large extent, this trip to the Dead Realm also greatly inspired us Chen family disciples. Let them understand that as long as they work hard, nothing is impossible.
The three major families are so powerful, each family has eighteen people, but so what? Only a few of them can come back, even like the Nangong family, not even one person has come back.
So in comparison, we only sent one person out, but he was able to come back safely, which makes me really happy! "Chen Tianxing obviously also intended to promote Chen Hongyuan, but he did not hesitate to praise and satisfy Chen Hongyuan.
"Yes, Hongyuan did a great job this time!"
"I really didn't expect Master Hongyuan to be so powerful now. I believe he will be even more advanced than he was in the Nine Clans Competition. Our Chen family really has a successor."
"Maybe five hundred years from now, our Chen family may really be able to fight against the three major aristocratic families!" Hearing what the family head said, some elders began to praise Chen Hongyuan.
Chen Hongxing, on the other hand, looked gloomy as he listened. It was obvious that everyone's compliments made him feel even worse.
If this continues, his position as the heir will not be guaranteed.
"The elders have promoted me, but I am just lucky." Chen Hongyuan was also a little surprised by what happened today. He did not expect that his father would suddenly elevate his status.
This made him feel a little uneasy because he was sure what the reason was for his father to do this.
Does this give him the qualification to compete for the position of head of the family?
He's not sure!
"Very good. Young people are neither arrogant nor impetuous. They have achieved such proud achievements and can be so calm. The Chen family needs young people like you!" Someone couldn't help but praise again.
"We old guys are getting old and our future is limited. From now on, the Chen family will have to rely on young people like you to lead it!" Each of these elders praised the people for being so familiar with the road and coming out of their mouths, which made Chen Hongyuan a little embarrassed. .
Even though he knew that they were just flattering him, he could only act respectfully.
"Thank you, elders!"
Of course, if some people are happy, some people are dissatisfied. For example, the eldest elder Chen Tianwei, the second master Chen Tianyun and the fifth master Chen Tianqing.
However, they also know that if they carry them at this time, they may become the target of public criticism and be drowned in the saliva of these flatterers.
Of course, the great elder, who had received some news, was hesitant in his heart. He was weighing his own pros and cons.
Chen Tianxing's behavior today is obviously a little abnormal. This is deliberately raising Chen Hongyuan and lowering Chen Hongxing.
If he were to pick on Chen Hongyuan at this time, it would inevitably make Chen Tianxing even more dissatisfied with himself.
Although he is the chief elder of the Chen family, if he arouses public anger and makes everyone have opinions about him, he may even have the right to propose changing the chief elder.
Nowadays, most people are trying to flatter Chen Hongyuan. If he speaks out at this time, he may not get many people to support him, but instead make him look like a petty person.
Looking at Chen Hongxing opposite, he found that his face was also extremely ugly. He smiled inwardly and felt that raising Chen Hongyuan's status now might not be a bad thing.
Then he said with a smile: "Master Hongyuan has really won great glory for our Chen family these few times. His outstanding performance in the Nine Clan Competition has allowed the other eight aristocratic families to see that our Chen family is actually not weaker than them.
And this trip to the Dead Realm was even more impressive than that of the Nangong family, which ranked first in the Nine Clans Competition. This honor was even more dazzling than winning the first place in the Nine Clans Competition.
Although people from the Ji family and the Situ family have also returned, after this incident, I think no matter which family they have, they will not dare to look down upon our Chen family anymore. "
Sure enough, the great elder's words immediately aroused everyone's surprise.
After all, after working together for so long, don’t you still have a clear idea of the great elder’s character? When did he become so knowledgeable!
