Eternal Beast Taming Family

Yang Qingxue did not press for the specific reason, but simply responded softly.

"That's good. Now, take a good rest for a few days. This afternoon, a master craftsman from Qingxuan Pavilion will come to take your measurements and make a custom-made dress. Don't miss it."

With the custom-made dress, Chu Shengfan once again realized how much importance her teacher placed on this apprenticeship ceremony.

So he nodded in agreement.

Yang Qingxue then asked some questions about his life, which Chu Shengfan answered one by one.

After asking the question, the hall fell silent. Yang Qingxue waved her hand, "You go back and rest first. Wu Yuan, stay here."

Chu Shengfan bowed and took his leave.

Back in his palace, the desolation lessened considerably.

After inspecting the palace, Su Yi saw Chu Shengfan return and immediately went to greet him.

"Young Palace Master, the Palace Master specially built a palace at the foot of Qinghan Mountain for your apprenticeship ceremony. It was just completed yesterday, and the rest of the palace staff have been busy decorating the palace these past few days."

Chu Shengfan's fingers paused slightly. "Su Yi, will many important people be coming?"

Compared to before, Su Yi was noticeably more lively, perhaps because she didn't feel as restrained around Chu Shengfan.

"The sage teachers in the academy who are available will definitely come back. As for the great sage teacher, I don't know about the others, but the great sage teacher Cui Yang has always been on good terms with our palace master, so he will definitely come back."

If the scale is large enough, the Dean might return, and many families in Qianling City will probably send gifts upon hearing the news. However, those families that can send people to pay their respects are at least of the seventh rank or above.

There are five families in Qianling Prefecture City with the rank of Sixth-Rank Noble, and I think at least three of them will be able to attend. Considering that, this apprenticeship ceremony seems poised to attract the attention of most of Qianling Prefecture City's upper echelons.

After listening to Su Yi's description, Chu Shengfan felt even more that his teacher's identity was extraordinary. Even if his teacher was a high-ranking Domain Master, he was only taking on one disciple. Why did he need to make such a big fuss, even having a sixth-rank noble family come to participate?

Could it be that the teacher is actually from royalty?

Chu Shengfan was startled by his sudden thought, and immediately suppressed the chaotic ideas. Since the teacher had not revealed her identity, it was not good for him to have such wild thoughts and make guesses.

So he instructed Su Yi, "A master from Qingxuan Pavilion will be coming this afternoon. You need to be prepared to entertain him."

"Qingxuan Pavilion, that's the most famous spirit embroidery pavilion in Qianling Prefecture. I wonder which of their masters is coming? Their spirit garments are renowned. I'll certainly treat them well this afternoon."

This was the first time Chu Shengfan had ever seen such a strong emotional reaction from Su Yi. Did all girls react like this when clothes were mentioned?

Seeing Chu Shengfan's astonished look, Su Yi immediately realized that she had lost her composure, and she quickly lowered her head to suppress all her emotions.

Seeing that she seemed somewhat remorseful, Chu Shengfan thought for a moment and then offered a word of comfort.

"There's nothing wrong with letting your emotions out a little. I don't mean to blame you; at least I think it makes you feel alive."

Su Yi immediately looked up at Chu Shengfan, "Thank you, Young Palace Master."

In the afternoon, the visitors arrived as expected.

All the servants in Chu Shengfan's palace stood outside to greet him, while Chu Shengfan waited inside. After a short while, the visitor was led into the palace by Su Yi.

There were three people who came: one old and two young.

The elderly man at the front exuded an aura of a high-level Spirit Rank Contract Master, while the two young girls behind him were both at the low-level Spirit Rank.

Chu Shengfan looked at the old man, guessing that he must be the master his teacher had mentioned. He did not look down on him because his cultivation level was only at the Spirit Rank, and took the initiative to stand up and welcome him:

"Master, please have a seat despite your busy schedule."

While Chu Shengfan was sizing up the master, the master and the two girls behind him were also sizing up Chu Shengfan.

A thoughtful look flashed in the master's eyes. This was the disciple that Master Yang Xian wanted to take in as the Palace Master of Qinghan Palace? His cultivation level wasn't high, but he was indeed handsome and not arrogant. As for the rest, there was nothing special about him at the moment.

The master also cupped his hands in greeting to Chu Shengfan, saying, "I am unworthy of the young palace master's courtesy. I have long heard of the young palace master's reputation, and seeing you today, I can confirm that it is indeed well-deserved. You are truly a young talent."

He sat down, and the two young girls walked behind him and stood like servants.

"Young Palace Master, you may call me Yu Xiu. The title 'Master' is merely an empty name used by outsiders. Enough with the pleasantries, shall we begin?"

Chu Shengfan smiled and agreed, "Master Yu, your skills are superb, it is not an exaggeration to call you a master."

Yu Xiu chuckled and waved his hand gently, and some trays appeared on the table.

These trays are filled with various sparkling or iridescent crystals, interspersed with round beads of unknown material.

"Let's start with the headdress." Yu Xiu glanced at Chu Shengfan, paused for a moment, and then asked, "I wonder if the young palace master has reached the age to wear a headdress?"

Although Chu Shengfan looked mature, the aura of his bone age still made this master, who had seen countless people, sense something unusual about him.

Chu Shengfan withdrew his gaze from the crystals whose materials he couldn't identify. "I... haven't reached that age yet."

Yu Xiu nodded slightly, "Then let's change the hair ornament into a hairband, or we can make it into a crown."

He pointed to the trays, "Among these materials, is there anything the young master likes? Please choose some, and I will use them as the main materials to make your hairband and crown."

Except for a few types, Chu Shengfan didn't recognize the names of most of them, so he could only pick a few that caught his eye.

After taking out the ones that Chu Shengfan had selected, Yu Xiu pondered for a moment, then picked through the remaining materials and chose a few more that were not brightly colored, as if they were accessories for the ones that Chu Shengfan had selected.

At this moment, a servant hurriedly entered from outside the hall, bowed to Chu Shengfan, and reported.

"Young Palace Master, Left Envoy Wu Yuan requests an audience."

Chu Shengfan glanced at Master Yu Xiu, who waved his hand to indicate that he didn't mind. Chu Shengfan then said, "Just let Uncle Wu in."

After a moment, Wu Yuan strode in from outside the hall. He looked at Yu Xiu, then smiled and said, "It seems I've arrived just in time."

Upon seeing Wu Yuan, a Domain Rank expert, Yu Xiu bowed slightly as a greeting.

"Uncle Wu, what brings you here?"

"Send some materials." With that, Wu Yuan waved his hand lightly, and immediately, glittering crystals, some with different kinds of smooth golden threads, or the tendons of unknown source beasts appeared on the ground in front of the palace.

Although these materials were very well preserved, they were haphazardly stacked together, making them look somewhat messy.

Yu Xiu, standing to the side, widened his eyes and even stood up excitedly, exclaiming, "These are all materials from Domain-Rank Source Beasts?"

His finger landed on one of the golden threads. "This is the golden thread spun by the Dream Realm Golden Silkworm."

The other landed on a bright pearl. "This is the crown pearl of the Phantom Sea Shark." The voice was noticeably less steady and became unusually excited.
