There were certain differences in the way branch and direct descendants were treated. For example, if Chu Yunfan was on the same side as Chu Xuelian and was willing to be roped in, the Chus would definitely arrange a good instructor for him. But there was a gap between him and Chu Xuelian.
Therefore, Chu Yunfan was not willing to accept the Chus' help in this matter. He could rely on himself and did not need help from others. To him, the Chus was a place he could take shelter from the wind and rain, but he did not want to get too involved with them. A large family had the advantages of a large family, but there were too many twists and turns.
Therefore, Chu Yunfan would rather maintain an ambiguous relationship with them. He could use the face of the Chu family as a banner without getting too involved. This was for the best.
