Talented Martial Hero

The outer disciples of the Chu Clan murmured among themselves when they saw Darren heading toward the Elders Cabinet. The very fact that Darren was still alive shocked them. After all, they had heard that Evan had killed Darren. The outer disciples could not figure out how Darren had survived.

Darren, however, just ignored them.

Darren had arranged for Belle to return home. He wasn't worried about her safety now. According to the family rules, females didn't have the right of inheritance. Since Belle was not a threat to any of them, none of the Chu Clan members saw her as a target.

After a while, Darren arrived at the Elders Cabinet.

The Elders Cabinet was a unique place within the Chu Clan. No one, except the chief, had the right to enter without permission.

It was said that all the elders in the Elders Cabinet were cultivators of the Spirit Realm. Only major family events could bring them out of the cabinet.

However, the elders took no action when they heard the news of the death of the chief. That was strange.

Darren knocked on the plain gate and shouted, "Darren Chu, a ninth generation member of the Chu Clan, requests permission to meet the elders."

A great clan, like the Chu Clan, had strict rules and could be cruel if the rules were not followed.

For example, why did the Elders Cabinet disregard the fact that others had preyed on Darren, the son of the chief?

Because members whose talent for martial arts was lower than the Yellow Degree would never gain the recognition of the family. What was worse, such members would be expelled from the Chu Clan as soon as they were sixteen.

Darren was only fifteen now. So, despite his inferior martial arts talent, he had the right of inheritance. That was why Evan had attacked him.

The gate opened with a creak.

A disciple in grey walked out. When he saw Darren, he frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to request the Elders Cabinet to protect Belle and me." Darren shared his purpose bluntly.
