Eternal Beast Taming Family

Five days later, there are still ten days until Chu Shengfan's apprenticeship ceremony.

Chu Shengfan finally arrived at Qianlingfu City with his parents and younger brother.

The journey was mostly spent traveling through spatial passages, which was particularly boring for Chu Shengyuan. He finally emerged from the spatial rift and saw the bustling city.

The boredom and frustration of the past few days seem to have finally been swept away.

Chu Shengyuan stood at the palace gate. From here, he could see the rows of houses in the city, the crowds coming and going on the streets, and the unheard-of source beasts around them.

Moreover, there are quite a few source beast mounts that fly and shuttle through the air, but there seems to be only one as grand as Chu Shengfan's. The passersby on the street seemed to only look on with envy and speculation, without any shock or fear.

It seems they've seen this kind of travel scene quite often.

Chu Qinhui couldn't help but glance outside the palace. "Xiao Fan, let's take us directly to your Grandpa Sun's place first. We'll go to the academy formally on the day of the apprenticeship ceremony."

Chu Shengfan thought about it and agreed. It was indeed inappropriate to bring his parents into the academy before they had officially become disciples.

So he glanced at Su Yi, gave her an address, and about ten minutes later, the palace arrived above a street not too close to the academy.

Because Chu Qinhui and Jiang Nian's cultivation levels were too low to fly, the steps formed by the lotus platform extended all the way to the center of the street.

The nearby residents and pedestrians on the street stopped to watch curiously. Who was this important person who had arrived? Why was there such a grand entrance?

Chu Shengyuan took the lead, leaping off the lotus platform one after another.

Compared to Chu Shengfan's precociousness, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall at the age of 13.

Chu Shengyuan, perhaps due to developmental delay, was only about 1.2 meters tall at nine years old. Coupled with his chubby face, he was fair-skinned and adorable, truly resembling a golden boy.

Shortly after, Chu Qinhui and his wife came down together. Chu Qinhui was fine, but Jiang Nian was a little shy being stared at by so many people at the same time.

However, one of them exudes a strong scholarly air, while the other has eyebrows like distant mountains, light yet dignified, making them a perfect match.

Finally, Chu Shengfan soared down from the sky, his youthful spirit exuding a certain untamed arrogance.

Ignoring the stares of those around them, the family of four entered the pharmacy that Sun Chunchen had always run.

There were quite a few people in the shop, including a considerable number of newly recruited apprentices or helpers. They didn't recognize the people who came in, but they did recognize the butler behind the counter who came from Heyu Town.

He hurriedly came out from behind the counter and personally led the group to the living area behind the shop.

At this moment, Sun Chunchen was happily lounging on a deck chair, basking in the already scorching June sun, when he noticed the group entering.

"This morning, on a whim, an old acquaintance came by. Xiao Qinhui, how is your father?"

Sun Chunchen sat in the rocking chair, his upper body slightly raised, and looked at the group of people who came in with a smile on his face.

Seeing Sun Chunchen's unchanged appearance and hearing his slightly teasing words, Chu Qinhui's long-standing restraint vanished instantly.

"Uncle Sun, my father is doing well. He asked me to give him his regards."

Sun Chunchen brandished the palm-leaf fan in his hand, a hint of smugness on his face.

"Your Uncle Sun can do well anywhere. Look, this pharmacy is open again, and with your son's status protecting me, I can finally enjoy my retirement. I didn't invest in the wrong person."

As he spoke, another butler brought out a table and set out hot tea, as well as some fruits and pastries, in the courtyard.

Sun Chunchen led the Chu family members to sit down at the table. Sun Chunchen pulled Chu Shengyuan to his side and said jokingly:

"You brought this little guy along too, but it's been so long, why does he seem like he hasn't grown at all?"

When Chu Shengyuan was mentioned, Chu Qinhui's face was full of helplessness. "This little guy sneaked up here when we weren't paying attention. He hasn't grown any taller, but he's got a lot of ideas."

Hearing Chu Qinhui's muttered complaints, Sun Chunchen didn't think much of it. "Boys should have their own ideas. Unlike you, who listens to your father in everything."

Being spoken to so bluntly by Sun Chunchen in front of his son, Chu Qinhui looked even more helpless. "Uh..."

A faint smile appeared on Chu Shengfan's lips. Although Sun Chunchen said that, Chu Shengfan knew that between himself and his father, Sun Chunchen definitely loved his father more.

After all, when he was contracting source beasts, Grandpa Sun only provided a few relatively rare medicinal beasts, but when his father was contracting them, he directly brought out "Ginseng Baby", which was probably not even common in the city.

There's a saying that's true: where money and resources are, there is love.

However, Chu Shengfan had no intention of competing with his father for favor. "Grandpa Sun, my father will stay here with you for the next few days. I need to go back to the academy to report to my teacher immediately, so I won't stay any longer."

"Okay, okay, you go back first. I'll take care of your parents."

"Not only my parents, but also six guards. Xiao Fan is young and will definitely be curious about the city, so we need to send guards to keep an eye on him at all times."

Sun Chunchen paused for a moment, then said, "Alright, let the guards in later, I'll make the arrangements."

Only after hearing Sun Chunchen's agreement did Chu Shengfan get up and leave the courtyard.

He returned to the palace in mid-air. Several high-ranking attendants who were guarding the palace heard Chu Shengfan's instructions and six of them descended from the lotus platform to the front of the shop and then entered the shop.

Four men and two women. Four of them were originally assigned to guard Chu Shengyuan, and the two added later were for their own parents.

Finally, Chu Shengfan glanced at the shop one last time before the palace, carried by a giant lotus platform, flew to Qianling Academy.

In the cold palace, the familiar chill permeated Chu Shengfan's body, yet he felt no discomfort despite the lack of protective shield.

The palace slowly descended onto the square in front of the main hall, and Chu Shengfan, Wu Yuan, and Su Yi walked out of the palace one after another.

The moment Chu Shengfan's feet touched the ground, someone came up to report.

"Young Palace Master, the Palace Master is waiting for you in the main hall."

This was his third meeting with his teacher since arriving at Qinghan Palace, and to be honest, he was still a little nervous.

He didn't know the source of his nervousness. Even though the teacher was very gentle, he always felt that the teacher's smile never reached her eyes, and that inside, like the iceberg behind this cold palace, there was eternal coldness and loneliness.

Wu Yuan and Chu Shengfan entered the main hall together, while Su Yi returned to the palace where Chu Shengfan lived to check whether the servants who remained had been neglected during her absence.

Chu Shengfan's teacher, Yang Qingxue, sat gently on the ice jade throne, the entire palace empty and somewhat lonely.

"Was the journey smooth?" Yang Qingxue's voice remained gentle.

"There were some minor problems at home, but thanks to Uncle Wu, they were all resolved," Chu Shengfan replied obediently.
