Destiny Beast Taming

Chapter 156 Why not get rid of him!?

When we get back, I must remind Zhongyi not to say anything carelessly in front of Lin Zhuo.

Lin Zhuo is oblivious to everything; he doesn't even realize he likes her.

Aside from managing the affairs of the town's ghost bureau, Tian Tian spends his days browsing the BL forum "Pure Love Poppy" on Wen Tao's website, a place that makes even female fans blush.

If Lin Zhuo found out, Wen Tao was a little afraid that Lin Zhuo would start shipping him and Ju Jiashu as a couple.

"I'm here in Longya City to protect Xiaoyi's safety, so I won't be drinking."

"The Leap Dragon Festival is about to open. Can you get us four tickets? We're planning to go and have a look around." "So that's why you came to Dragon Cliff City at this time. It turns out it's to attend the Leap Dragon Festival."

"You've come at the perfect time; the Leap Dragon Festival opens the day after tomorrow."

"Tickets are no problem. I'll get you four top-tier diamond tickets. You'll have priority in negotiating and closing any deal you want at the Leap Dragon Club."

"Hehe, I'm a good guy, aren't I!"

Guo Xing assumed that Wen Tao's words were just an excuse for not wanting to drink.

Otherwise, if a new generation S-class combat-type Chosen One were to come to Dragon Cliff City, would Wen Tao need to protect him?

Besides, Wen Tao's abilities aren't enough!

Wen Tao's Order Beast's strength was only at the Mythical level, and it had not advanced to the Immortal level.

If the Order Beast advances in rank, Wen Tao updates his Beastmaster level within the Heavenly Fate Academy.

Even if I am in Dragon Cliff City, I will still be able to know the news immediately.

Wen Tao was a little chubby guy who got red in the face and thick in the neck after only three bowls of wine.

Unlike Lin Zhuo, who could drink wine endlessly as if it were watermelon juice, he was not like that person.

Guo Xing knew Cui Heng. Cui Heng possessed the Blood and Bone Great Wall, a vital artifact for the nation's stability, and was highly renowned throughout the New Xia Federation.

Guo Xing hadn't recognized Cui Heng since he came in because Cui Heng had deliberately disguised himself.

If Guo Xing had truly recognized Cui Heng, he probably wouldn't have doubted Wen Tao's words.

Instead, they were puzzled as to why Star City would attach such importance to this S-rank combat-type Chosen One named Zhong Yi, even sending someone like Elder Cui.

"Four diamond tickets are indeed quite generous, Brother Guo, then I'll trouble you with this."

After chatting with Guo Xing for a while, Wen Tao asked, seemingly casually.

"Brother Guo, how is Master Tao En doing lately?"

"I have some old acquaintance with Master Tao En, and I plan to visit him first when I come to Longya City."

The woman who had been standing next to Guo Xing without saying much heard this, though her gaze remained fixed on Wen Tao.

But a hint of displeasure crept into his eyes.

"Tao En is only at the level of a three-finger creator now, and is no longer worthy of the title of master."

"My uncle is now a peak-level Five-Finger Creator!"

"Atao, my uncle is hosting a banquet tomorrow night to entertain guests from other cities who are attending the Leap Dragon Club."

Instead of visiting Toon, I'd rather attend the banquet hosted by my uncle.

Guo Xing frowned sharply upon hearing Ju Jiashu's words.

Ju Jiashu was originally a pretty smart person, so why did she become stupid when she met Wen Tao?

Wen Tao had just mentioned having some connection with Master Tao En when Ju Jiashu brought up her uncle.

It should be noted that Tao En and Cao Xing'an were practically mortal enemies.

If it weren't for those old guys stopping him, Cao Xing'an would have tormented Tao En and his grandson to death long ago!

Wen Tao and Tao En had indeed met and could be said to be old friends, but that was just an excuse Wen Tao made up.

Wen Tao said this in order to get more information about Tao En from Guo Xing.

Wen Tao disliked Ju Jiashu, but he didn't mind attending the banquet hosted by Cao Xing'an, a peak-level creator of five fingers.

There are only five Six-Finger Creators in the New Xia Federation. Apart from these five Six-Finger Creators, the Five-Finger Peak Creators are already standing at the top of the pyramid.

If we were to compare a peak-level creator with five fingers to a powerful figure like Elder Cui, who wields the Blood Bone Great Wall, a crucial artifact for the nation's stability.

And those destined to reach the level of "Three Emperors, Four Venerables, and Five Sovereigns".

Otherwise, Wen Tao wouldn't have used the title "master" to refer to Five-Finger Peak Creators like Tao En and Cao Xing'an.

However, Zhong Yi came to Longya City this time to treat Tao En.

Having witnessed Zhong Yi's methods of treating the Cloud-Stepping Immortal Leopard, Wen Tao believed that Zhong Yi had the opportunity to heal Tao En's injuries.

Even if it can't fully heal the wounds on Tao En's soul, as long as it can help Tao En reach the level of a Five-Finger Creator.

In fact, they could risk offending Cao Xing'an, a peak-level creator of the Five Fingers, and have Zhong Yi bring Tao En under his control and take him to Star City.

As long as Zhong Yi brings Tao En under his control, even if Tao En can disregard hatred, Cao Xing'an will not be able to.

And how could Toon possibly let go of his hatred?

If Tao En could have let go of his hatred, given that Cao Xing'an had repeatedly taken the initiative to seek peace, he would have been able to do so.

How could the relationship between the two sides have deteriorated to this extent?

If one is destined to become enemies with Cao Xing'an, there is really no need to attend the banquet hosted by Cao Xing'an.

"Master Cao Xing'an hosted a banquet for his friends and old acquaintances."

"I have never had any contact with Master Cao before, and it is inconvenient for me to disturb Master Cao Xing'an at this time, so we will not attend the banquet."

After finishing speaking to Ju Jiashu, Wen Tao turned to look at Guo Xing.

"Brother Guo, Master Tao En should still be in Longya City."

"You should know Master Tao's address. Please send his address to my QQ account."

In Ju Jiashu's view, introducing Wen Tao to her uncle was tantamount to doing Wen Tao a great favor, but she never expected that Wen Tao would refuse her.

Why did I have to go visit that old geezer, Tao En, who doesn't know how old he is!

Even if Ju Jiashu had feelings for Wen Tao, she was so angry at being rejected by him that she turned around and left.

Guo Xing looked at Wen Tao with some surprise.

In Guo Xing's memory, Wen Tao was a very intelligent person.

If Wen Tao's words were to get out, it would be tantamount to offending Master Cao Xing'an.

Today, Jiao Donghai was supposed to come with me to receive Wen Tao.

It was because Ju Jiashu spoke up to Jiao Donghai that this happened. Ju Jiashu is also Cao Xing'an's niece.

Given this relationship, Jiao Donghai found it difficult to refuse.

Faced with the choice between Cao Xing'an, a rising star among five-fingered peak creators, and Tao En, whose strength had fallen to the level of a three-fingered creator, Wen Tao surprisingly chose Tao Wen.

Did Wen Tao and Tao En have such a deep friendship?

Guo Xing, fearing that Wen Tao might not understand the situation, spoke to Wen Tao very seriously.

"Tao En is indeed still in Longya City. The reason he is still in Longya City is that once he leaves Longya City, he will be killed before he can even get out of the city."

You should have heard about the feud between Tao En and Master Cao.

"Master Cao is now one of the top five figures in Longya City."

"Many established and top-tier forces in Longya City have cooperated with Master Cao, in addition to Ju Jiashu's relationship."

"In recent years, Master Cao has been training beast tamers for veteran chosen ones like Chi Long and Xiao Feng, and his relationship with them has been getting better and better."

"If you have a direct conflict with Master Cao and have formed a grudge, that's fine."

"There is really no need to make an enemy of a true peak-level Five-Finger Creator for the sake of others."

"I've said everything I needed to say. I'll deliver the four diamond tickets to the Leap Dragon Club to you before noon tomorrow."

"I'll send Master Tao's address to your QQ account in a bit. Whether you want to visit him or not is up to you."

"Let's get together again tomorrow at noon. I still have some things to take care of."

After saying this, Guo Xing did not choose to stay at the Destiny Society any longer.

Before turning to leave, Guo Xing uttered a seemingly unintentional sigh.

"In a few more years, Master Tao En probably won't even be able to stay in Longya City!"

Wen Tao watched Guo Xing leave with a smile, feeling very grateful for Guo Xing's kindness.

Guo Xing is a very enthusiastic person, if it weren't for his involvement in the feud between Tao En and Cao Xing'an.

Guo Xing will definitely take himself and Zhong Yi with him to work as guides in Longya City.

Even if Guo Xing wanted to, he could only avoid suspicion now.

As a chosen one of Dragon Cliff City, Guo Xing really had no need to antagonize Cao Xing'an.

However, Wen Tao doesn't need to think about that much!

Even if Wen Tao wanted to train beast tamers, he couldn't get help from Cao Xing'an.

Cao Xing'an could make things difficult for Guo Xing, the chosen one who came from Longya City.

But no matter how petty Cao Xing'an is, he can't make things difficult for himself.

It is said that Tao En was protected by several veteran Chosen Ones in Longya City, but after I became a Five-Finger Peak Creator, Cao Xing'an began to cultivate relationships among those veteran Chosen Ones.

No wonder Guo Xing made such a remark before leaving, saying, "Master Tao En of Longya City is probably not going to be able to stay any longer."

"Xiao Yi, Guo Xing has already sent over Master Tao En's address."

"If we go there sooner, we can reach a conclusion sooner."

"If you are certain that you cannot heal Tao En's injuries, and Tao En can only remain a three-finger creator with no chance of recovery, I will find a way to take you to Cao Xing'an's banquet tomorrow night."

Wen Tao's words almost made Sun Shiyu, who was standing next to Zhong Yi, choke on his saliva and cough.

He then lowered his head somewhat awkwardly, feeling that Wen Tao's words were too disconnected from what he had just said.

Cui Heng gave Wen Tao a very appreciative look.

Cui Heng is not as tactful as Wen Tao, but Wen Tao's tact is not only not wrong, but also very clever.

Because neither Wen Tao nor Zhong Yi had any contact with Tao En and Cao Xing'an.

As for the dispute between Tao En and Cao Xing'an, it's difficult for outsiders to judge who is right and who is wrong.

Tao En's son was killed by a long-established power, which was indeed supported by Cao Xing'an.

However, it was not Cao Xing'an who ordered this established power to kill Tao En's son.

Wanting revenge, Tao En killed this old power after becoming the Five Fingers Creator.

Although Cao Xing'an was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything more.

Even though Tao En's son died not because of his own fault, Cao Xing'an still put on a show of wanting to make peace with Tao En after Tao En became a top-tier creator of the Five Fingers.

Since there wasn't much of a close relationship with either side, the primary consideration was self-interest.

I'm not afraid of offending Cao Xing'an, a peak-level creator of the Five Fingers, but there's no need to needlessly provoke Cao Xing'an's hostility for someone who has no value.

"Brother Tao, let's go over there now. If he really can't cure me, then I can only say that I'm not destined to be with Master Tao En."

The two chosen ones from Starlight City wanted to visit Tao En as soon as they arrived in Dragon Cliff City.

This was no small matter for Cao Xing'an.

Ju Jiashu deliberately told Cao Xing'an about the situation.

Cao Xing'an was preparing for the evening banquet, as many people had come to Longya City to participate in the Leaping Dragon Assembly.

Cao Xing'an would use this method to expand his network of contacts every time the Leap Dragon Conference was held.

From the moment he became a Three-Finger Creator, Cao Xing'an had been building his own personal power by leveraging the influence of his family.

In Cao Xing'an's view, no matter how strong an individual's abilities are, they are far less reliable than building a vast network of power and relationships centered around oneself.

Upon hearing Ju Jiashu's words, Cao Xing'an immediately put down the pair of jade balls he was playing with.

"Shushu, is the Wen Tao you mentioned the Chosen One you told me about before?"

"He had only been to Longya City a few times before, so how could he have such a deep friendship with Tao En?"

"Perhaps this visit to Tao En was made after hearing about his situation, and I thought I'd come to offer some help in his time of need."

"If Tao En recovers someday, we can ask him for help."

"Over the years, people from other cities have often come to visit Tao En, but not all of them have the same purpose."

At this point, Cao Xing'an shrugged, revealing an indifferent expression.

"After the visit, I guess he'll stay away from Tao En like everyone else who came to visit."

"Shushu, if you have any feelings for him, you can invite him after he finishes visiting Tao En."

"I'll save a seat for the person you want to invite."

Tao En's son was not killed by Cao Xing'an, and Cao Xing'an had nothing to do with the death of Tao En's son.

Cao Xing'an had emphasized this point countless times over the past decade or so, but Tao En had never believed it.

Although Tao En's son's death had nothing to do with Cao Xing'an, the wounds to Tao En's soul were deliberately inflicted by Cao Xing'an.

To prevent Tao En from recovering, Cao Xing'an took drastic measures.

If it weren't for the few veteran Chosen Ones who protected Tao En, Cao Xing'an would have eliminated Tao En long ago!

Even now, thinking of Tao En's talent as a creator...

Cao Xing'an would still wake up in the middle of the night, drenched in a cold sweat.

If it weren't for the fact that Tou En had pushed them so hard back then, as if it were a fight to the death, then...

Cao Xing'an didn't dare to attack Tao En, who was at the peak of the Five Fingers Creation Master.

Fortunately, they eventually succeeded in bringing down Towon and destroying his foundation.

Otherwise, I would be the one being driven out of Longya City like a stray dog.

Tao En wouldn't be driven to the brink of extermination, but being expelled from Longya City would sever Cao Xing'an's network of connections built up over a century.

This would be even more painful for Cao Xing'an than killing him.

"Uncle, I'll go and invite Wen Tao again. After meeting Tao En, he has no reason not to accept my invitation."

At this point, Ju Jiashu paused for a moment, then lowered her voice and said...

"With the arrival of many outsiders at this Dragon Leap Tournament, Dragon Cliff City is in its most chaotic state."

"Why not take this opportunity to get rid of Tao En?"
