Everyday the protagonist wants to capture me

That was fast.

Chu Yu was startled, and his mind momentarily blanked out before he started thinking about how he could persuade Chu Sheng to let them in.

Chu Sheng suddenly gave a bitter laugh and said, "They want to see the Chu family's forbidden area? I'm afraid it's not just to prove our innocence."

As a large clan, the Chu family was sure to have countless enemies who envied and coveted what the Chu had. Now, a big gang of them had come. Other than those who genuinely wanted to investigate the existence of the remnant soul of Demon Lord Yan Heng, the rest were likely here to snoop around the Chu family's estate.

"Big brother......"　　

Chu Yu hesitated. Before he could get any word out, Chu Sheng's face turned solemn, and he said in a low voice, "Little brother, big brother is prepared to let them in. Don't worry, they won't be able to trespass the forbidden area. Little brother...... Don't blame me. I'm also doing this for the family."
　　
......
　　
???

Chu Yu was dumbfounded. It was a while before he managed to react; his face darkened.

It seemed that Chu Sheng had already decided, but he thought Chu Yu was unwilling and had instead turned around to persuade him.

After a moment of silence, Chu Yu's mouth twitched. He floundered for a while, then ​put on a silent and painful expression, and nodded his head

......Since he had already been misunderstood, he might as well continue the act.......

The two brothers hastily conferred for a while. Chu Sheng sent someone to throw Fu Chongyi out of the Falling Maple Leaf Valley​ before ​he set off ​with ​Chu Yu​ towards the perimeter of the valley​.

The Falling Maple Leaf Valley was usually a peaceful and quiet place. The commoners at the foot of the mountain knew that the cultivators on the mountaintop had set up a magical array and thus they seldom came up to disturb them. Seeing the horde of people outside the barrier now gave Chu Yu a start.

Chu Sheng had been thinking about it these days. Their grandparents were still in seclusion, and few from the Chu family could step out and stand up for their clan. It would not help matters if their stance was too obstinate. They might as well just agree to those people's demands to see the forbidden area; after all, there was no harm in that if even he himself could not access it.

Those who came were all from small sects, factions, and clans; their faces were unfamiliar. Chu Sheng invited all the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Chu family to keep the crowd in check. Under the imposing presence of those cultivators, no one dared to move for the time being.

The situation was still controllable. If they could use these people to prove their innocence, then it would save them a lot of trouble in the future.

Chu Sheng heaved a small sigh of relief, but he could not really summon and put on that genial demeanor as before. He asked lightly, "Can I take it that everyone's appearance here meant that you have concluded that the remnant soul of Demon Lord Yan Heng is in the Chu family's forbidden area?"

After a moment's silence, a thin man said, "You guys know what your own clan has done! Chu Sheng, is it because you are guilty that you dare not let us in?"
