Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chapter 180 First Encounter: The Main Characters in Qinghan Palace

The sound came from the other side of the square, from a much more magnificent hall.

Chu Shengfan responded softly, "Yes, teacher."

"Come into the main hall." This time the voice was even gentler.

Chu Shengfan walked into the main road in the square. The young man was dressed in dark blue clothes with colorful spirit butterflies on his shoulders. Behind him, a huge jellyfish that looked like it was made of crystal followed closely in mid-air.

As if it had been arranged beforehand, when he passed by, the servants in the square raised their heads for a moment, and all sorts of eyes fell on Chu Shengfan.

However, their gazes lasted only a few seconds before they seemed to receive some command and quickly lowered their heads.

Chu Shengfan even had some doubts about whether they could recognize themselves and the two source beasts in just a few short seconds.

In an eerie silence, Chu Shengfan silently walked into the main hall on the other side of the square.

Yang Qingxue sat on a throne made of ice jade, with a man and a woman standing on either side of her. Their attire was different from Su Yi's, seemingly their own personal style, suggesting that they were not ordinary people in Qinghan Palace.

Chu Shengfan walked to the center of the hall and respectfully bowed to Yang Qingxue, who was seated on the high throne.

"Greetings, teacher."

In this cold palace, Yang Qingxue still smiled gently, which was extremely out of place with the surrounding environment.

"It's good that you're here," she said, pointing to one side of the main hall. "These are the people who will serve you from now on. Take a look around first, and if you don't like any of them, you can go outside the hall and choose for yourself."

Chu Shengfan looked in the direction Yang Qingxue was pointing and saw four men and four women standing with their heads down on one side of the shop. They were all dressed in white robes and light blue belts.

Chu Shengfan was extremely surprised to be assigned eight Spirit Rank servants right away. His family only had one Spirit Rank Contract Master. Compared to that, Chu Shengfan felt a great sense of loss.

Thinking this, Chu Shengfan couldn't help but reveal some emotions on his face.

"What's wrong? Are you not satisfied?" Yang Qingxue asked in a calm voice.

When Yang Qingxue said those words, the eight people showed a nervous expression, as if they were afraid that Chu Shengfan would call them out to replace them.

Chu Shengfan shook his head. "It's fine. I just feel there are a lot of people. I just arrived and I'm already having them serve me. I feel a little uneasy."

Hearing his words, Yang Qingxue paused slightly, then smiled and said:

"This number is already small enough. I originally wanted to assign you sixteen people, but I reduced it by a lot because I was afraid you wouldn't be used to it."

Sixteen people. Chu Shengfan felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of a large group of people surrounding him, and quickly said, "That's fine too, thank you, teacher."

Yang Qingxue nodded slightly. "Since you've just arrived, the most important thing is to familiarize yourself with the environment first. The apprenticeship ceremony will be held in a month. Do you have any family members coming?"

The actual apprenticeship ceremony will take another month? It takes so long to prepare for an apprenticeship ceremony. Chu Shengfan originally thought he would become an apprentice today.

"Teacher, my only elder in my family is my grandfather Sun, who lives in Qianlingfu City. Our ancestral home is very far from here, so it may be inconvenient for him to come."

"Long distance?" Yang Qingxue frowned slightly. "Is it outside the Jingyuan Dynasty?"

Huh? Chu Shengfan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly denied it, "It's not that far, it's just in Zhiyao County, which is under the jurisdiction of Qianling Prefecture City."

Yang Qingxue had never heard of Paper Kite County, but it was under the jurisdiction of Qianling Prefecture. She smiled and said, "It's not that far away. Just have Wu Yuan accompany you. You should be able to make a round trip within five days."

After Yang Qingxue finished speaking, a man who had been standing silently beside her immediately waved to Chu Shengfan. His attitude was not as respectful as that of the servants; he was more relaxed and friendly.

Chu Shengfan glanced at him a few more times but couldn't detect his rank. However, his aura was as deep and unfathomable as the sea, and a terrifying thought flashed through Chu Shengfan's mind.

It seems I've really latched onto a powerful patron.

Chu Shengfan didn't know how to address Wu Yuan, so he could only vaguely say, "Thank you, thank you."

Noticing Chu Shengfan's restraint, Yang Qingxue stepped down from her seat. As she moved, pure white feathers slowly drifted down beside her, like a goddess surveying her territory.

She walked up to Chu Shengfan and stopped. "These two people beside me are not ordinary. You can just call Wu Yuan Uncle Wu. He is a lower-level Domain Rank Contract Master. He has a contract with a Sky-Splitting Electric Domain Bird that has spatial skills, which makes traveling very convenient. There is no need to be polite to him."

Although Yang Qingxue's expression remained gentle when she said this, Chu Shengfan could clearly see that her attitude was more easygoing, indicating that this man held a certain weight in Yang Qingxue's heart.

"Young Palace Master, please feel free to give me your orders in the future." Wu Yuan appeared beside Chu Shengfan in a flash, greeting him with an exceptionally bright smile.

Space flickered? So fast. Chu Shengfan gave him a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Wu."

"Can't I really call you 'brother'?" Wu Yuan pouted, pretending to be pitiful like a sunny young man.

Before Chu Shengfan could recover from the shock of seeing a Domain-level expert acting cute, another woman walked over from beside the ice jade throne, saying with a look of disdain:

"The young palace master is only thirteen years old, while you are an ancient fossil nearly three hundred years old. You still call him 'brother'? Aren't you ashamed?"

After mocking Wu Yuan for a while, the woman said to Chu Shengfan, "Don't worry about him, he has some mental issues. My name is Fu Xinyue, a low-level Domain Rank Contract Master. If you encounter any trouble in the future, feel free to come to me."

Of course, you can just call me Sister Fu.

Seizing the opportunity, Wu Yuan quickly said sarcastically, "You're actually older than me, shouldn't you be calling me Aunt Fu?"

"What do you know? A woman is forever eighteen. Right, Your Highness?" Fu Xinyue rolled her eyes at Wu Yuan and winked at Chu Shengfan as if seeking his opinion.

Chu Shengfan was somewhat stunned. The filter of being a domain-level big shot seemed to shatter at this moment. Shouldn't he be maintaining his status and speaking coldly and taciturnly? How could he be arguing and bickering like this?

Seeing that Chu Shengfan was a little confused, Yang Qingxue waved her hand, "You two stop fooling around. Xiaofan has just arrived and needs to get familiar with the environment first. You can stay in the palace for ten days."

Then go to your home to fetch your elder relatives.

Chu Shengfan did feel a sense of unease, and he nodded, "Okay, teacher, I'll take my leave now."

After he finished speaking, Su Yi quickly led the way to his residence.

Behind Chu Shengfan, the eight servants assigned to him also silently followed him out of the main hall.

Watching Chu Shengfan's departing figure gradually disappear from sight, Wu Yuan sighed, "What a well-behaved child."

"It's all your fault, Fu Xinyue. I didn't leave a perfect first impression on the young palace master today."

"You? Your image was already shattered by the time you said your second sentence."

"Nonsense, I was just trying to get closer. Didn't you see how nervous the young palace master was?"

"hehe……"

Yang Qingxue sighed helplessly. Even the millennia-old frost and ice on the ice mountain couldn't suppress the anger between the two. She turned around and disappeared from the hall, leaving only two voices echoing in the hall from time to time.
