Great Son-in-law

After coming down from the mountain peak, Chu Fann didn't delay any longer and headed straight to the dock of Heavenly Star Island.    

    

Logically speaking, the cruise ship should have left long ago after he had studied it for so long. However, when Chu Fann arrived, he discovered that there was another cruise ship parked beside the dock.    

    

"What's going on?"    

    

Chu Fann looked at the cruise ship in shock. He quickly walked over to check out the situation.    

    

As soon as he walked over, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance of the cabin. It was Uncle Fu from the Chu family's old residence.    

    

"Second Young Master, you have finally come out of seclusion. This old man has been waiting here for many days. Now I can finally bring you home." Uncle Fu walked down the stairs and looked at Chu Fann with a smile on his face.    

    

"Uncle Fu, if I remember correctly, the competition for the successor should have ended long ago. Why are you waiting for me here? And how do you know that I have come out of seclusion?" Chu Fann asked with a dumbfounded expression.    

    

"Hahaha, to those participants, the competition for the successor is naturally over, but to the next Patriarch, let alone waiting here for three months, even waiting for three years is only natural!" Uncle Fu said with a hint of meaning.    

    

When Chu Fann heard this, he was stunned. He pointed at himself and said, "What did you say? I... I am the next family head?"    

    

"Of course."    

    

Uncle Fu nodded with a smile. " You are the only one who has entered the underground cave and obtained the Chu's member that symbolizes the identity of the Chu Family's Patriarch. If you are not the next Patriarch, then who is? "    

    

"Jade pendant?"    

    

Chu Fann touched his pocket in confusion and took out the jade pendant that he used as the key to open the stone room. "Is this it?"    

    

"Yes, it is."    

    

"Young master," Uncle Fu said, smiling. "You must have a lot of questions right now, but please come with me to see the old master. He will tell you everything you want to know."    

    

"Okay, let's go!"    

    

Chu Fann held the jade pendant with a little force and followed Uncle Fu onto the boat.    

    

The cruise ship started moving toward the island where the Chu family's old residence was located.    

    

Chu Fann was still having a headache about how to return after missing out on the competition for the successor. He didn't expect that he would become the family head by accident.    

    

However, in theory, this family head was given to him by Chu Tianhe and Chu Lin. Otherwise, any one of the three brothers would have left. I'm afraid that's not the case now.    

    

After taking a comfortable bath in his room, Chu Fann took out his phone and called Chen Mengyao who was far away in Yunhai City.    

    

"Mr Chu Fann, you finally contacted me!"    

    

As soon as the call connected, Chen Mengyao's happy voice came from inside.    

    

Chu Fann smiled and was about to speak when a pleasant but somewhat unfamiliar voice suddenly came from the phone, "Luoluo, is this your boyfriend's number?"    

    

"Luoluo, who is Luoluo?"    

    

Chu Fann was confused.    

    

"Sister Xiaoxiao, are you okay? If not, you can leave first. I'm calling my boyfriend." Chen Mengyao said helplessly.    

    

"No, I have to stay by your side. Don't you want to know about our local customs? " When your call is over, I will continue to talk to you. " Xiao Xiaoxiao's mocking laughter came.    

    

"Yao, who was the person who spoke just now, who is Luoluo, and what Sister Xiaoxiao? Why have I never heard of these people?"    

    

At this moment, Chu Fann asked.    

    

Chen Mengyao pursed her lips and did not know how to explain this to Chu Fann. In the end, she simply said, "Mr Chu Fann, I can't explain it to you on the phone right now. If you can come back, come back quickly. I will tell you when you come back."    

    

With that, Chen Mengyao hung up the phone.    

    

This made Chu Fann even more confused. For some reason, there was a trace of uneasiness in his heart.    

    

But right now, he could not fly back to Yunhai City. He had no choice but to suppress his strange emotions and wait for the old residence of the Chu family in peace.    

    

Three days later, the cruise finally arrived at the port of the Chu family Mansion.    

    

After Chu Fann got off the ship, he immediately saw the old man, Chu Tianxiong, and a group of servants waiting for him.    

    

"Grandpa, I'm back!"    

    

He immediately rushed forward and supported the old man, who had been standing there for a long time.    

    

"Kid, well done. You didn't disgrace the reputation of the stem family disciples!" Chu Tianxiong patted Chu Fann's head and said with a gratified tone.    

    

After that, Chu Tianxiong turned his eyes to Uncle Fu at the side and said with a serious tone. Now that Xiaofan has safely returned home, we can announce the matter of the next family head to the public. As long as he learns how to manage the family affairs, I will retire behind the scenes and leave the Chu family to Xiaofan!"    

    

"Yes, Master!"    

    

Uncle Fu respectfully accepted the order, then turned around and left.    

    

Chu Fann was not used to it. He hesitated and asked, "Grandpa, am I really going to be the next head of the family?"    

    

"What? You don't have confidence in your own abilities?"    

    

Chu Tianxiong smiled and asked.    

    

"It's not that I don't have confidence. I just think it's a bit absurd. I don't even know what the purpose of the second round of the competition is."    

    

Chu Fann gritted his teeth and said honestly, "If it's just to obtain the jade pendant that symbolizes the identity of the Chu Family's Patriarch, grandfather, you should have a better way to let us compete, right?"    

    

"But why did you put the location of the trial on that mysterious Heavenly Star Island? There are so many precious and strange fruits there, and the wild beasts that have gone extinct in the outside world. " There are even ancient battlefields and medicinal Skeleton Soldiers. Could it be that these things are just to increase the difficulty of our trial by fire? "    

    

"Then what do you think the purpose of my actions is?"    

    

Chu Tianxiong's eyes flickered. He did not expect Chu Fann to have taken this into consideration.    

    

In fact, Chu Fann had only discovered this when he recalled the details of the second round of the competition on his way back.    

    

He discovered that the entire second round of the competition was filled with a sense of absurdity from the beginning to the end.    

    

He felt that obtaining the jade pendant that symbolized the identity of the family head was not the true purpose of the second round of the competition.    

    

In fact, that special jade pendant could even be used as the key to open the stone door.    

    

Have you ever seen anyone use the final and most important mission item as a key to open a mechanism?    

    

If this was the case, it could only mean that there was something more important than a jade pendant in the stone chamber. However, the stone room was empty. The sky was empty. Other than the sword marks that covered the entire stone wall, there was nothing else of value.    

    

Could it be that the final goal of this trial was only for that comprehension?    

    

As he thought like this, He said: "I don't know if it's an illusion, but... I feel that in this Heir Tournament, the jade token that symbolizes the position of the head of the family is just something that can be completed along the way."    

    

"The real reason is that Grandpa wants to tell us something, right?"    

    

Chu Tianxiong's eyes lit up when he heard this. He touched his chin and smiled in relief. "Then what do you think I want to tell you?"    

    

"Tell us..."    

    

Chu Fann paused for a moment, his eyes shining brightly. "Tell us the truth about this world!"
