My Mother-in-Law Gifted Me a Building

After arriving, Chu Feng and his family found a place to eat breakfast.

After all, you have to eat. Skip one meal, and you’ll be starving.

No matter what, meals had to be eaten on time.

Chu Feng had driven all night but wasn’t the least bit tired. Su Miaoke and his parents had slept in the car, so they were also in pretty good shape.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Chu Feng took out his phone and made a call.

When the call connected, the man’s voice came through, "Well? Have you made up your mind?"

"Made up my mind about what? I’m already in Xixiang. My parents and my younger brother are with me. Where do we find you?" Chu Feng asked.

"You’re already here? Give me an address. I’ll send someone to pick you up now." Hearing this, Chu Feng’s fourth uncle was clearly surprised, his voice filled with astonishment.

Chu Feng gave him an address, and the family waited for a little over ten minutes.

Then, several cars pulled up to the breakfast shop.

"Are you Mr. Chu Feng?" A few men in suits got out of the cars, and one of them asked the question. They were all sturdily built; you could tell at a glance that they were trained.

"I am," Chu Feng nodded.

"Hello, Mr. Chu. Fourth Uncle sent us to pick you up," the man in the suit said.

"Alright. You lead the way. We’ll follow behind," Chu Feng said.

"Very well. This way, Mr. Chu." The man in the suit didn’t waste any time and quickly had his men get the cars moving.

They had already noticed the luxury van parked in front of the breakfast shop, which was clearly the one Chu Feng’s group had driven.

"By the way, Mr. Chu, it’s a bit of a long drive, about two hours. We apologize for the trouble," the man said.

"Yes, I know," Chu Feng said with a nod.

In fact, Chu Feng already knew this.

After all, most Martial Arts Families were located deep in the mountains, so a long journey was to be expected.

Soon, everyone was back in their vehicles. Chu Feng drove, following the two Chu Family cars out of the city.

Inside the city, their speed was slow. It was the morning rush hour, so the streets were congested.

About half an hour later, they left the city, and their speed began to pick up.

The sides of the road were lined with forests and trees. The air seemed fresh, and the scenery was quite beautiful.

Another hour passed, and the cars had entered a mountainous region. The surrounding forests and trees grew denser.

Moreover, there were hardly any other vehicles on the road.

It was as if they had driven into the depths of the wilderness.

By the time they reached their destination, a full two hours had passed.

Soon, a small village came into view.

The village was nestled among the forests, built against a mountain. Even from a distance, it looked extraordinary.

At the village entrance stood a large, decorative archway.

On it were the two words: "Chu Family".

There were also sentries posted at the archway entrance.

When the cars in front stopped, the sentries at the gate began to check their papers.

To enter the Chu Family compound, one had to have the proper authorization. Without it, no one was allowed in, not even acquaintances.

It was a strictly militarized administrative procedure.

After the papers were presented, the convoy entered smoothly.

Once inside, Chu Feng and his family were surprised to find that the Chu Family’s architecture was ancient and rustic.

Someone who didn’t know better might think they had traveled back to ancient times; the buildings were all in a style from several hundred years ago.

Moreover, large plazas were visible everywhere, furnished with training equipment. It was clearly for the Chu Family disciples’ Cultivation.

In some of the plazas, a few young kids were practicing palm techniques under the guidance of adults.

Chu Feng glanced over. ’Isn’t that the Taiqing Palm Skill?’

The crucial thing was their clothing was also quite traditional; they all wore outfits resembling ancient training uniforms.

A stranger might even mistake this for the set of a historical drama.

Although it was rustic, the village was not lacking in modern amenities like surveillance cameras, cars, or wiring.

"So this is the Chu Family?" Chu Hao was amazed.

After the car came to a complete stop, a man emerged from around a nearby corner.

"Has Chu Yuntian’s family arrived?" the man called out.

The man quickly walked over to the car.

He began to speak. "Follow me. Chu Yunfei lived at the other end of the village. I’m sorry we only notified you after he passed away. Yunfei made immense contributions to the Chu Family in his lifetime. Back then, if he hadn’t fought to the death, many more in the Chu Family might have perished. His injuries from that time were just too severe, and that’s why he..."

This man had a rather burly frame, though he also had a large belly.

Judging by his voice, Chu Feng recognized him as the man from the phone—his fourth uncle.

"You’re the one who contacted me, right? Fourth Uncle?" Chu Feng asked, looking at the pot-bellied man.

"Yes, that’s me. Don’t doubt it. According to seniority, you should indeed call me Fourth Uncle," said Chu Feng’s fourth uncle.

The man chatted with them as he led Chu Feng’s group.

The Chu Family’s village, though called a village, was quite large with numerous buildings.

The roads were also wide, and they occasionally saw people, though Chu Feng didn’t recognize any of them. Most were young.

A rough estimate based on the number of buildings suggested the Chu Family had at least one or two thousand members, though it was hard to say for sure.

"Chu Feng, honestly, when I called you, I was prepared for you not to come. I didn’t expect you to actually show up. This makes me very happy."

"We know all about what happened with you in Beihai. Now that you’re back this time, the Patriarch will definitely meet with you. What I told you on the phone is definitely possible," the man said.

"Is that so? I’m not interested in what you mentioned, nor have I considered it. My parents and I only came to see my uncle and pay our last respects. That’s all," Chu Feng said.

How could Chu Feng’s fourth uncle not understand the meaning behind his words?

He could actually understand Chu Feng’s situation.

After all, Chu Feng had never benefited from the Chu Family’s influence in the slightest, nor had he received any favors from them. He had gotten to where he was today entirely on his own.

For the Chu Family to suddenly appear and demand he acknowledge his ancestors, all on the condition that he help them in a competition—anyone would probably feel resistant in his shoes.

"Sigh... I understand how you feel. After all, it certainly wasn’t easy for you to get this far on your own. The family gave you no help at all; instead, the family is the one that needs your help now," Chu Feng’s fourth uncle said with a sigh.

"Let’s not talk about this for now," Chu Feng said.

He didn’t want to discuss these things at this moment.
