15. The Second madam scheme.

Training arena.

All the participants for the clan meeting that get inside the top ten stand in line. They all look toward the VIP seat, where's the Chen patriarch sit with family elders and all VIP guests. Because all the ranking already been set up, it's time for the prize being regulated.

Watching all the new ranking members for this time clan meet, Chen patriarch smile wryly. He looks all the top ten rankings and lingers his eyes longer to the second-ranking. He feels complicated inside his mind. He never thought that the son he wants to cast away, back with full glory like this. From a wasted trashy one, his second son becomes ranking second in the clan meeting.

"Patriarch?" one of the elder call Chen Houlun's, make him wake.

After being awake from his stupor, Chen Houlun starts to giving a speech to congratulate all the ranking new members. When he's giving his speech, Chen Houlun can't help himself to keep lingering his gaze to his second son. He can't help but question how can his second son cultivated now and how can his second son becomes this strong just for a few months missing. His second son's supposed to be dead!

Chen Danshou can feel his father gaze continue to linger on him, makes him sneer coldly. Even though his previous body owner cares about his father, but the present owner hates the man. He doesn't want to think this petty man is his father, because the man is so annoying for him. He knows how badly the father treats Chen Danshou before. Just because 'he' can't be cultivated before, the man treats his mother and him so bad. 'He' also repeatedly hear the man ordering his mother to cast him out from the clan because of his body constitution. That's why Chen Danshou doesn't want to admit this man as his father.

"It's time to go back, brother."

Chen Danshou looks at his sister and nod. Without looking back at his father, Chen Danshou walks away from the arena with his younger sister.

"Come on, I need to give the boy my piece of mind. How can he give up the first rank?" Chen Mohe looks grumpy, looking at Chen Danshou walking away from the arena with his younger sister.

"Mohe, what are you gonna do to the young boy? You can't get mad at him just because he becomes a second rank?!"

Chen Moulun can't help sweating bullets at his back watching the grumpy old man. He knows how his old friend can be so domineering and hard to please. He's afraid the old man will make the young boy suffer a lot.

"Hmph! What you're afraid of? Do you think I'll hurt the boy?!" Chen Mohe looks angry looking at Chen Moulun face. Just looking at the man, he can guess his thought.

"Am I wrong?" Chen Moulun can't help asking back to his old friend.

Snort, Chen Mohe just using his movement skill and left the man. Looking at the man sprint and leaving all the ancestors behind making all of them sprint to follow him.

Ma Wenchi looking at the back of the young man walking out from the arena with hatred lingering deep in her eyes. She needs to get rid of the young man or all her plan to make her son as the Chen clan heir will fall through. She doesn't want her hard work to mess up. She needs to make Chen Danshou's dead. Locking eyes with her uncle; Ma Doye, she starts to walk closer to his place.

"Husband, can I talk to my uncle? It's been a while since we met."

Ma Wenchi asks for permission from Chen patriarch. Her husband just nods and averting his attention to his first wife make Ma Wenchi grit her teeth. Thinking that she needs to hold back her jealousy for her grand plan, Ma Wenchi walks to her uncle place. After asking permission to her uncle master, Ma Wenchi brings her uncle to her courtyard.

"Why are you bring me here, Wenchi?"

Ma Doye looks at his niece with gentle eyes. The man is an expert at Earth level 3, because of his talent is not bad that's why he can go to Ma clan main branch and becomes an outer butler in the main clan residence area. This man also one of the contributors for Ma Wenchi can be Chen clan second madam. This man also helps a lot to find the drugs she used on Chen Houlun.

Ma Doye cares about her a lot because the man in love with her mother before when they are younger. Even when Ma Wenchi's mother married her father; Ma Doye older brother, the man still cares about her mother a lot. After her mother died giving birth to Ma Wenchi, the man giving his full care to Ma Wenchi.

Ma Doye doesn't want his niece to rot inside Ma clan side branch, that's why he finds Chen Houlun for his niece. The man using his smart mind to help Ma Wenchi married Chen Houlun. His scheme always works well for his niece, that's why Ma Wenchi can take a root inside the Chen clan main family. With his mind, Ma Doye also becomes one of the main butlers at Ma clan main family. So, Ma Doye power is good too.

"Uncle, you need to help me."

"Helping you about?"

Using her misty eyes, Ma Wenchi begs her uncle; "Kill Chen Danshou!"

Ma Doye eyes went wide, he moves his sleeve and makes a barrier.

"Wenchi! You can't blurt things like that without making a barrier around us! Even the wall has ears."

"Uncle.."

"Isn't you already attempt to kill him before?"

"You know?!"

"Of course, do you think I won't keeping a tab about you?"

"Uncle..Help me, please. I want to make my son Chen clan heir, he's an obstacle, a big one."

"Are you not satisfied with your position now?"

"Uncle, my position is just second madam. I still lose from Lu Yini. I don't want my son also lose from her son in this clan."

Looking at his niece, Ma Doye just sighs deeply. He knows this woman becomes so crazy about power because he also fuels it. He just wants to give his niece a better life, but the woman wants more. But, he can't stop it, he is weak against this woman.

"Fine, I'll request Shadow guild."

"Shadow guild?"

"Yes, one of the leader at the capital, owes me."

Sighing, Ma Doye thinks about Shadow guild. Shadow guild is one of three top assassin guild in the Meryu Kingdom. The guild got three heaven-level experts. Their heaven-level expert still low if compared to the Merlun academy heaven-level expert and Chen clan Heaven-level expert but they still powerful assassin guild.

"If you can request them, it's good then."

"Okay, then. Don't involve yourself on this anymore."

Nodding, Ma Wenchi smile to her uncle. Her uncle left after making the barrier disappear. They don't know that someone is hearing their plans to kill Chen Danshou. The one who's hearing their plans just smirks evilly, watching the ants collaborate making schemes against his master.
