Chu Jingtian's expression changed instantly when he heard someone had paid Fan Tuxiao to assassinate him.
As a core disciple of the Chu Family, he knew many people wanted him dead, including his own elder brother, and also people from the Zhou and Wang Families.
As the heir of the Chu Family, although he was not the eldest son, his father favored him and considered him qualified to compete for the position of Family Head.
His elder brother was conservative, advocating for reduced friction with the Zhou and Wang families, eventually forming an alliance with the Breaking Dragon three islands and rotating leadership.
However, Chu Jingtian was an ambitious young man who believed that both the Wang and Zhou families were once vassals of their Chu family. Without the Zhou family, these two families would have probably perished in the wars of the Central Plains long ago.
