Eternal Beast Taming Family

Upon seeing the "Light Healing Butterfly" fluttering beside Chu Suyuan and confirming her identity as a contract master, the young man's expression visibly trembled for a moment, but he quickly regained his resolve.

"Just last week, I brought my uncle to see a doctor. Initially, my uncle only had a mild cough, but after being treated by your quack doctor, he now needs help to walk."

Chu Suyuan slightly raised her hand, and under the young man's terrified gaze, the "Light Healing Butterfly" circled the old man's body once before returning to Chu Suyuan's fingertip.

Having received the message from the "Light Healing Butterfly" in her heart, Chu Suyuan forced a smile and went to the old man who was being helped up and was coughing heavily from time to time.

She took out a handkerchief and quickly wiped the old man's face, instantly leaving a lot of white powder on the pink handkerchief.

The old man's pale face had thinned, revealing the rosy skin underneath.

"You still dare to lie in front of a contract master? The old man you're helping isn't sick at all; it's all a pretense."

At Chu Suyuan's signal, several servants immediately surrounded him. Two of them held down the young man next to them, while the other two, ignoring the old man's struggles, rubbed his face several times with a tablecloth, revealing his healthy skin.

In the midst of his struggle, the old man was no longer weak, and even pushed one of the apprentices quite a distance away.

A quick-witted apprentice nearby immediately shouted, "Look everyone, this is the old man who's terminally ill. He's just a shameless, heartless scoundrel trying to extort money from our pharmacy."

The patients at the nearby clinic, seeing this, could easily see that these two were frauds. Perhaps out of anger at being deceived, they also started pointing and whispering among themselves.

Realizing they had been exposed, the young man and the old man tried to run out of the clinic, but before they could take two steps, an apprentice grabbed their arms and stopped them.

"Send them to the authorities and tell them the truth about what happened in the shop today."

Chu Suyuan did not appear relaxed after arranging the outcome for dealing with the two swindlers.

This is the second time something like this has happened in the past few days. Although it has been resolved both times, it is clear that this is a targeted attack against the clinic.

There are three clinics in the town. The other two belong to the Shi family and the Zhang family, two prominent families, respectively. These two incidents of medical disputes were clearly just tests.

This is just pretending to be sick; what comes next might be a real death, or someone bringing a corpse to cause trouble.

Having grown up in the village, Chu Suyuan hadn't seen much of the world, but she knew how ruthless people could be for the smallest gain. Stealing chickens and dogs was nothing compared to driving someone's family to ruin.

After this minor incident, the clinic resumed normal operations, but it was clear that the number of customers was much lower than before.

Chu Suyuan narrowed her eyes slightly. Soon she would be able to advance to the middle level of the mortal realm, at which point she could try to receive treatment from mortal-level contract masters and source beasts.

She summoned two apprentices and whispered something to them. They received orders and hurriedly left the clinic, disappearing without a trace.

The old doctor, sitting calmly behind the examination table, observed all of this, lowered his head slightly, and continued to take the pulse of the patient in front of him.

……

Thousand Insect Town.

Thousand Insect Town is an extremely special town in Jade Town. Most of the contract masters in this town contract insect-type source beasts, and Thousand Insect Town is also known as "Gu Insect Town".

As soon as the Chu family's business team entered the town, they felt that the sky around them was foggy and that there was some kind of miasma in the air.

The Chu family group consisted of five people: a head steward, three servants who had recently awakened their spiritual powers, and Jiang Yan, who had joined them unexpectedly.

On this trip, everything was arranged by Steward Fu, who had been transferred from Sun Chunchen.

"Go to the trading company first and see if there are any shops for sale in good locations. Xiao Lin, you three stay here and find out about the town. Meet up at the trading company later. Remember not to get into any conflicts with the others."

Most importantly, under no circumstances should you reveal that you are from the Chu family, understand?

Butler Fu spoke sternly, and finally his gaze fell on Jiang Yan. This young man was a newcomer, and he was somewhat unsure of his temperament, and worried that something might go wrong with him.

"Yes." The two servants and Jiang Yan received the order and set off. Jiang Yan also turned around without hesitation and walked towards the other streets.

Now, Steward Fu had no choice but to trust Jiang Yan. He led the last remaining servant into the shops on the street.

The fact that powerful families from other towns were extending their influence into other towns was a major taboo between the towns, so Butler Fu instructed them not to reveal their identities under any circumstances.

However, the Chu family does indeed possess a source beast called "Multi-Eyed Poisonous Insect," which is well-suited to Thousand Insect Town. Only here can it find a broad market, and Chu Jingyu also wants to explore another possibility for the family's development here.

It may take a long time to develop quietly.

……

Two days later, a piece of news somehow spread throughout Heyu Town.

It is said that the Zhang family daughter who married into the county magistrate's mansion is pregnant, and various rewards have been bestowed upon her. The current head of the Zhang family has been promoted to the Spirit Rank through these rewards.

For a time, the Zhang family was the most prominent family in the town.

In the past few days, the Zhang family held a high-profile promotion banquet. After all, they are prominent families in the same town. Chu Qinhui represented the Chu family and attended the banquet. Chu Qinhui is a sensitive person and could sense the Zhang family's targeting of the Chu family from some subtle attitudes.

It seems that the Zhang family, having gained power, now sees the Chu family as a thorn in their side and wants to emulate the Liu family of the past to become the sole overlord of Heyu Town.

Sure enough, a few days after the banquet ended, some thugs who appeared out of nowhere started vandalizing the Chu family's medical clinic.

The townspeople didn't know that the clinic was run by the Chu family, a prominent family from outside the town, but the other two families definitely did. Recently, the Shi family had been unusually low-key, while the Zhang family had been very flamboyant.

Without needing to think too much, one can easily tell who the mastermind is.

Fortunately, the troublemakers were just some ordinary thugs, and Chu Suyuan managed to bring the situation under control in time.

But the matter was far from over. A day later, several more mortal-level contract masters arrived and began vandalizing the clinic just like the day before.

They didn't hurt anyone; they just smashed and destroyed things. Faced with several mortal-level contract masters who had combat abilities, Chu Suyuan was powerless this time.

The news was delivered to the Chu family residence that evening, and Chu Qinhui slammed his fist on the table in anger upon receiving it.

The Zhang family is becoming increasingly unscrupulous; their methods are crude but effective.

They wanted to provoke the Chu family by constantly disrupting the Chu family's business.
