Chapter 258 Scapegoat

The elder of the Chu family touched his gray beard and said in a deep voice.

"It is not appropriate to tear our faces with the Ye family for the time being. We may be stronger than the Chu family before, but it does not mean that we can match the Ye family.

Before we find the most suitable time, we should not act rashly for the time being."

The elder's meaning is already very clear. Don't think about being enemies with the Ye family, at least not now.

The other elders also discussed this matter.

"What the elder said makes sense. We are not strong enough at present and need to be more cautious."

"Then what should we do now? The head of the family just said that he wanted to push a scapegoat. Who should this scapegoat be?"

"This... depends on what the elder thinks."

"I don't know who will become the unlucky guy."

...

These elders are the bosses who agree with the elder, and they are all curious about what to do next.

Seeing that everyone agreed not to conflict with the Ye family for the time being, Chu Xiao felt a little regretful in his heart.

He really wanted to compete with the Ye family, but the elders in the family did not allow it.

At this time, the elder suddenly gave a suggestion.

"Scapegoat... I think we should use Chu He."

The name Chu He seemed to be unknown to many people, and a trace of confusion flashed in their eyes.

As the head of the family, Chu Xiao was still clear about this name.

The other party was just an orphan in the family. His parents died early, and now he is an outstanding child in the family.

Chu Xiao also knew a little about why the elder chose Chu He.

The elder's grandson and Chu He did not get along. The elder took this opportunity to send Chu He out as a scapegoat, which seemed to be nothing wrong.

After all, one is his grandson, and the other is just an orphan in the family.

Sacrificing an orphan can bring stability to the family, and at the same time solve the grandson's troubles, which is the best of both worlds.

Chu Xiao did not have too many thoughts in his mind. Anyway, it was just a scapegoat. It didn't matter who he chose, as long as he didn't choose his own child.

"Okay, what do you think, elders?"

Nodding slightly, Chu Xiao expressed his opinion.

The remaining elders, seeing that the great elder and the head of the family had already agreed, naturally had no objections.

"Second!"

"Second!"

...

Everyone agreed, and this young man named Chu He was inexplicably used as a scapegoat.

Seeing that everyone had agreed to this plan, Chu Xiao stood up.

"Since it has been decided, arrange for someone to arrest Chu He immediately, and never let him escape.

At the same time, immediately arrange for someone to welcome the envoy of the Ye family, and never neglect it."

After the order was completed, this family meeting ended.

At this time, in the Chu family's martial arts training hall.

A thin figure was practicing hard in the martial arts training hall.

He... was Chu He.

He looked to be in his twenties, and was a slightly outstanding talent among the younger generation of the family.

He was usually very hardworking, but he was like a little transparent in the crowd, and no one would care.

He never chose to be in the limelight, because he knew that he was not qualified to be in the limelight.

He had no one to rely on in the family, so the only person he could rely on was himself.

He was not capable of being in the limelight, but even so, there were still people who noticed him and did not trouble him.

That person was the grandson of the great elder.

Chu He probably didn't know that he had become the scapegoat of the family.

Just as he was practicing seriously, a small figure ran into the martial arts hall and shouted to him.

"Chu He! Chu He!"

This was a delicate girl with delicate eyebrows and eyes like a pool of clear water, skin whiter than snow, and looked very cute.

Chu He stopped practicing after hearing the voice and walked to the girl in two or three steps.

"Xian'er, what's the matter?"

The person who came was Chu Xian'er, the youngest daughter of the head of the family, Chu Xiao.

At this moment, Chu Xian'er had completely lost her usual joyful look, and stared at Chu He very seriously.

"Chu He! Run quickly! Run as far as you can, and never come back!"

As she spoke, Chu Xian'er wanted to push Chu He away.

As the person involved, Chu He was a little confused and didn't quite understand what was going on.

Why did they want to drive him away for no reason?

"Xian'er, what are you talking about? This is the Chu family, where do you want me to go?

And... why should I run? I practice hard here every day to make myself stronger, why should I run?

Why don't I understand what you said today?"

Chu He touched his forehead in confusion, and his eyes were blank.

Hearing this, Chu Xian'er hurriedly explained.

"Chu He, do you know that you are now a scapegoat? All the elders of the family agree to catch you to confess.

If you don't run now, you can't run away. If you run away now, I'm afraid there will be a chance.

Go quickly and never come back!"

Chu He, who was still confused at first, finally understood what was going on after hearing these words.

After a long time, it turned out to be like this.

But why did he have to be a scapegoat for no reason? What happened here?

Now he couldn't figure it out.

But looking at the current situation, it may not be easy to figure out this matter. We must leave the Chu family first. If we are late, we may not be able to leave.

"Thank you, Xian'er, I will go first. Don't worry, I will definitely come back!"

Just as the voice fell, Chu He had already run far away.

Seeing Chu He's back gradually disappearing in the distance, Chu Xian'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In her eyes, Chu He has always been a very hardworking and diligent person, and he is kind-hearted.

She also has a certain liking for Chu He, and Chu He is lonely and helpless, so she doesn't want Chu He to be made a scapegoat for no reason.

"Chu He, I hope you can escape, but don't let anything happen."

With her right hand tightly clenched at her chest, Chu Xian'er could only hope that Chu He could escape by himself.

All she could do was to inform him of the situation, and there was no way she could provide so much help.

The order to arrest Chu He should have been issued by now, and she couldn't change it even if she was the youngest daughter of the head of the family.

Chu He, who had fled the martial arts hall in a hurry, hurried back to his residence and quickly packed up his only belongings.

He had been hanging out in the Chu family since he was a child, and he knew the terrain very well.

He climbed over the wall and found a very hidden way to escape.

As soon as he left, his yard was rudely opened, and a group of Chu family members broke into his room.

But unfortunately, the group of Chu family members did not find him and got nothing.

Chu He... disappeared? !
