C948 Core Members

"Why?"

After hearing Zheng Kai's question, the brawny guy who was called "Brother" finally spoke.

The corner of his mouth revealed a mocking smile. He gently placed the iron balls that he just picked up onto the ground and stared coldly at Zheng Kai with eyes as big as bells. He looked like the monk that Zheng Kai robbed him of his wooden fish.

Zheng Kai's nervous heart also calmed down a little along with the iron ball that he put down, then he heard the strong man's cold voice.

"Your surname is Chen, don't say that you aren't someone from the Chen Family."

"I am!"

Although Zheng Kai also admitted that he was not a match for the brawny guy in terms of strength, but with his experience in his previous life, he naturally wouldn't be afraid of his power. Now that Zheng Kai heard him freely tell him the reason why he attacked, he was also happy to go along with it and let him have some ideas to carry on. After all, Zheng Kai didn't want a big guy like him to just start and shut up.

In this world, what was even more unacceptable than being beaten to death was that he didn't know why others would want to beat him to death …

"Then what are we waiting for!"

Strange thing, upon hearing that Zheng Kai admitted himself to be a Chen Family disciple, the robust man acted as if he heard something that made him extremely angry, raising his eyebrows that seemed to have been drawn out by thick ink, he shouted at Zheng Kai with his bell-like eyes wide opened.

Seeing that he was about to pick up the iron ball that was as big as Zheng Kai's head and throw it at him, Zheng Kai immediately raised his hand to signal him to wait.

"Wait, wait, wait. Are you saying the same thing!?"

"Hmm? Why didn't you say it? Weren't you clear about it now? "

Hearing that he had already answered, but the other side still continued to ask as if he didn't know what Zheng Kai was thinking, the hulk seemed very confused as he replied coldly to Zheng Kai.

However, although this burly man looked rough, he was still a very kind person. Whenever Zheng Kai asked a question, he would answer and his hands would continue to stop attacking. Obviously, he wanted Zheng Kai to be a ghost.

"No …"

Seeing that the hulk was so cooperative, Zheng Kai was no longer in a hurry. He let go of his hands that he lifted up anxiously and continued to ask the hulk for the reason to attack, while stalling for time to think of a way out.

"What does it have to do with whether or not I possess Chen Family to smash me with that thing?"

"Did Chen Family people carry your child and jump into the well?"

Honestly speaking, Zheng Kai didn't just want to scold them. He was also infuriated by this strong man when Zheng Kai wanted to take advantage of him.

If you say that you are angry because I trespassed into your barrier, then there's nothing to say. I'll explain to you that I'm just here to find something to eat and there's no other thoughts. If you want to capture that White Tiger descendant, you can kill him as and when you want.

But you can still say a few words when you've just met someone. What's the situation if you start fighting right after hearing that I'm from Chen Family?

Even if you want my life, you should at least give me a quick answer. Why the hell are you doing this?

"Eh …"

Looking at Zheng Kai's confident look, the hulk was obviously shocked. He looked at Zheng Kai in a daze and did not know what to say.

"You … You aren't a core member of Chen Family? "

After a long while, when Zheng Kai estimated that he had fully recovered, the hulk spoke again.

"Core member?"

Hearing these words, Zheng Kai couldn't help but be a little surprised. Chen Family and core members?

Zheng Kai once again tried to comb through the historical environment, especially the environment of Chen Family, in which Chen Kai lived.

What Zheng Kai found out was that he really didn't notice before, the life history of Chen Kai did have the situation described by the brawny man, that is, many aristocratic families maintained their core members' circle in the family, and most of the topics related to the family's survival were decided by the core circle.0

At the same time, as one of the big families in Clear Water Town, Chen Family naturally had its own core members circle. Every year, there would be an internal meeting to determine the major plan for the next year or so.

It could be said that any topic which affected the future of the Chen Family was basically decided by the internal meetings of the core members.

However, what made Zheng Kai a bit helpless was that Chen Kai was not one of the core members and was never one of them.

According to the ancient book that recorded the life and death of his brother Chen Kai, when Chen Kai did not fly out and his talent was not obvious, the core members of Chen Family did not even consider absorbing him. Even if he was the most direct descendant of Chen Family's younger generation, it would not be possible.

Although this sounded like an unreasonable request, it was actually quite normal in this world where strength depended on one's own strength. In particular, in the past, it was incomparably glorious, but now, it was gradually losing in talent. The Chen Family s, which had been suppressed by the other great clans in the town of Shuiqing, were a type of rule that should be followed.

Usually, clan members of the Chen Family would be proud to be able to enter the core circle of Chen Family, so after Chen Kai's astonishing talent in cultivation was discovered, he should also be able to enter the core circle of Chen Family. But after that, a series of things happened, causing Chen Kai to be completely disappointed in the Chen Family.

However, all of this happened after Chen Kai was ten years old …

Thinking about this, then looking up at the strong man in front of him, Zheng Kai was a bit speechless. Although all the families in this world respected strength, in order to prevent unpredictable members from entering the inner circle and causing trouble, they still made it mandatory for all the core members to be 15 years old or older. If any family accepted a core member that was younger than 15 years old, the whole world would laugh at them!

"You … "How old are you?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing Zheng Kai's question, the hulk was slightly stunned. He didn't know why Zheng Kai would suddenly ask such a question at such a crucial moment.

Although the brawny man was reckless, his mood was the simplest. Although both sides were enemies at this moment, he would not deliberately ignore Zheng Kai's question. To him, this was the respect a strong person should have for their enemy.

"I'm seventeen, why?"

Seventeen?

Hearing the strong man's voice that was as loud as a bell, and then looking at his tower-like body, if Zheng Kai didn't feel that the strong man was simple, he wouldn't even believe that the little giant in front of him was 17 years old.

"En..." "Then your development is pretty good …"

After clearing his throat, Zheng Kai raised his head and looked at the burly man in the distance, his eyes were filled with sincerity.

"Then tell me, how old am I?"
