Eternal Beast Taming Family

Lin Zixu was somewhat bewildered as Chu Shengyuan pulled him out of the courtyard.

The two walked along the stone path in the house, passing through other courtyards, heading directly towards the backyard.

Along the way, the maids and servants he encountered would all bow and greet Chu Shengyuan, and Chu Shengyuan would respond to each one. In truth, he felt a little uneasy.

After all, his mother had instructed him to go to the library as soon as he returned, and he didn't want these maids to report to his mother that he wasn't currently at the library.

However, he was always very lucky. The maids and servants he met on the road did not serve his mother or father, and even if they saw him, they would not complain about him without reason.

Soon, Chu Shengyuan led Lin Zixu to the entrance of the backyard.

This place is always guarded by mid-level mortal-rank contract masters. Seeing Chu Shengyuan leading a boy over, one of them stepped forward, bowed, and asked:

"Young Master Yuan, are you going to the backyard?"

Chu Shengyuan nodded as a matter of course.

The servant chuckled, "Young Master Yuan, you are naturally free to come and go as you please, but who is this gentleman?"

The servant's questioning gaze fell on the reserved Lin Zixu.

"This is my friend. He's just coming in with me to take a look. We'll leave right away."

The servant looked troubled. "Young Master Yuan, as you know, the master has given an order that anyone other than internal staff and members of the Chu family must obtain his permission before entering the backyard."

Lin Zixu nervously tugged at Chu Shengyuan's sleeve from behind and whispered, "Young Master Yuan, let's go back."

Chu Shengyuan glanced back at him and noticed that his face was even paler than when he arrived. He patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, "It's alright, just follow me."

He turned back to the two servants again, "Are we really not allowed to go in like this?"

The servant's face was full of apology. "Young master, we really can't, otherwise we'll lose our jobs."

Chu Shengyuan had no intention of making things difficult for them, so he could only lead Lin Zixu in another direction, saying, "Come on, I'll take you to find my grandfather."

Lin Zixu's face tightened as he pulled back the arm that Chu Shengyuan was holding. "Young Master Yuan, there's no need to trouble the Master with such trivial matters."

"What's the trouble?" Chu Shengyuan didn't quite understand Lin Zixu's meaning. "Every time I go, my grandfather is overjoyed. Don't overthink it, let's go."

Lin Zixu couldn't refuse Chu Shengyuan, so he followed behind him, bypassed the front hall, and arrived at Taici Courtyard next to the ancestral hall, where Chu Jingyu lived.

At this moment, the courtyard gate opened, and the courtyard was empty, without a single servant. Chu Shengyuan and Lin Zixu entered the spotless courtyard together.

"What are you doing here at this hour?" Chu Jingyu asked with a gentle smile as he stepped out of the house, clearly having already noticed the commotion caused by the two little ones.

Chu Shengyuan ran up to Chu Jingyu, grabbed his arm, and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Grandpa, Lin Zixu is sick. I want to take him to the backyard to find those rabbits to cure his illness."

Chu Jingyu glanced at Lin Zixu, who was standing properly in the courtyard. His face was pale and his breathing was weak. He was indeed sick.

"You're sick and you're still taking him around aimlessly. The backyard is full of source beasts without contracts; you can't command them to heal you anywhere. Why don't you just go to your father?"

Chu Shengyuan lowered his head in embarrassment, "I sneaked out without my father and mother knowing."

Chu Jingyu tapped Chu Shengyuan's forehead with his finger, "You, you."

He turned to look at Lin Zixu, a different idea forming in his mind. He waved in Lin Zixu's direction, signaling him to come this way.

When Lin Zixu walked up to her, Chu Jingyu asked softly, "Lin Zixu, right? Would you be willing to be Xiao Yuan's page?"

Lin Zixu's eyes widened, and his clear black and white eyes looked even more innocent against his pale face. Before he could answer, Chu Shengyuan nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, that's fine."

Seeing his grandson looking so worthless, Chu Jingyu gently touched his forehead, feeling his temples throbbing.

However, he could understand Chu Shengyuan. At such an age, he was naturally mischievous, but he had no playmates at home and was now confined to the library by his mother all day.

So when I met someone like this, a playmate who wasn't so reserved and was of similar age, I naturally cherished and valued him all the more.

Seeing Chu Shengyuan's delighted expression, Lin Zixu couldn't bear to say anything to refuse, and whispered, "I have to ask my father."

Chu Jingyu smiled. "Don't worry about your father. I'll talk to him, and he'll definitely agree. You just need to think about what you truly want."

Under Chu Shengyuan's expectant gaze, Lin Zixu nodded slightly.

"Yay!" Chu Shengyuan was practically jumping for joy.

Chu Jingyu patted Lin Zixu's head. "Good boy, aren't you going to see a doctor? You can take this jade pendant to the backyard, but those rabbits are a bit unpredictable."

If you don't want to go to your father's place, going to Chu Suyuan's place first is the same.

Chu Shengyuan wasn't really familiar with this god-sister, Chu Suyuan, since she had been staying in her own courtyard since returning from town and he rarely saw her.

They rarely have the chance to meet, let alone cultivate a relationship.

"Okay." Chu Shengyuan took the jade pendant, said goodbye to Chu Jingyu, and excitedly pulled Lin Zixu towards the backyard they hadn't gone into earlier.

As Lin Zixu ran to the entrance of the backyard, an unnatural blush appeared on his face, and he became breathless. Seeing this, Chu Shengyuan scratched his head with some guilt, realizing that dragging a patient along like this did seem a bit excessive.

He showed the jade pendant to the two servants. "My grandfather has agreed. Can we go in now?"

Upon seeing the jade pendant engraved with the character "Chu" and the unique spiritual aura emanating from it belonging to Chu Jingyu, the two servants exchanged glances, stepped aside from the entrance, and gestured for them to enter.

Chu Shengyuan glanced at them, took small, measured steps, and said softly to Lin Zixu behind him, "Let's go. Don't be afraid of the source beasts running around randomly; those that are allowed to roam freely are usually very gentle."

Lin Zixu nodded, his eyes filled with anticipation. This was the first time he had walked through so many places in the Chu family since he came to the Chu family.

After the two boys entered the courtyard, the two servants were filled with envy for the boy who had been led in by Chu Shengyuan.

Although the young man's cultivation level is not high, he is still highly regarded by the young master and was even personally asked by the family head to bring the jade pendant into the backyard.

It's foreseeable that this young man will be groomed as a trusted confidant of the main family, and he might even become their superior in the future.

The other two boys went to the backyard and saw the heavily guarded backyard world.
