Eternal Beast Taming Family

Luo Xuan's words were like a thunderbolt, startling everyone in the palace, who looked at the mere boy of another level with suspicion and uncertainty.

If a great master personally admits that his luck cannot suppress the young man in front of him, which is why he dares not accept him as his personal disciple, does that mean that the young man in front of him is even equivalent to half of a sixth-rank noble family?

Luck is always elusive and intangible, and even these sixth- or seventh-rank aristocratic families can only vaguely touch upon it. However, without exception, they all know that luck is extremely important for the development of a family.

Now it's not so hard to understand why Luo Xuan would accept this young man as a disciple. The gazes of many aristocratic families toward Chu Shengyuan have taken on a different meaning.

Faced with Luo Xuan's words, Chu Qinhui, who had straightened up, felt only shock and anger. Having managed things at home for so long, he had a basic understanding of human nature.

Luo Xuan's words were not simply an explanation of why he only accepted Chu Shengyuan as a nominal disciple; they were also a way of putting pressure on him from another angle.

If his words were to get out, and the Chu family lacked the strength to protect them, it would be impossible to predict what kind of dangers and unpredictable events a young man with a "treasure to possess" would face.

Perhaps because the atmosphere in the palace was somewhat heavy, the dean spoke with a smile.

"Hehe, this little guy is actually this amazing? I really couldn't tell. Luo Xuan hasn't taken on any disciples for many years. Just agree to this lonely old man's request."

I will give you the same treatment as your true disciple, the same as your elder brother.

Chu Shengyuan looked at his elder brother, then at the two great teachers, and hesitated about how to choose.

Chu Qinhui suddenly bowed and said, "On behalf of Xiao Yuan, I thank the two great teachers. Since Master Luo has shown us such kindness, it would be ungrateful of us to refuse. Xiao Yuan, please come and greet your master."

Whether or not he becomes an apprentice is not a matter of concern to Chu Shengyuan. What he remembers is his promise to Chu Zu to go home. Now it seems he has to break his promise, but with his father going back to explain, Chu Zu and his grandfather should understand.

He obediently walked to Luo Xuan's desk, bowed, and said, "Greetings, teacher."

Luo Xuan's eyes softened, and he took out a gold ring inlaid with various precious stones. "There are some trinkets inside. Take them and play with them. After the banquet, I'll take you back to the sect to meet your senior brothers and sisters."

Chu Shengyuan took the golden ring, which seemed to be aware of its own existence, slowly slipping onto Chu Shengyuan's arm and then shrinking to the most suitable size on its own.

Having received the gift, Chu Shengyuan's last trace of resentment gradually dissipated, and he said with some enthusiasm, "Thank you, teacher."

Chu Qinhui sighed helplessly. He could only be thankful that Chu Shengyuan had been recognized by the teachers of Qianling Academy as having great fortune, and that at least Chu Shengfan was here to protect him.

If Chu Shengyuan's aura had been recognized by some "big shot" elsewhere, they probably wouldn't have been able to explain it and would have simply kidnapped him without any recourse.

Upon seeing that Chu Shengyuan had truly become Luo Xuan's disciple, the gazes of the others turned toward him were mixed with other things, whether it was disappointment, regret, or some other hidden thoughts.

After this brief interlude, the banquet continued. The two great masters said no more, and it was then the turn of the other forces to speak with Chu Shengfan, the protagonist of the day.

Some came up to offer their congratulations, while others brought their children forward, saying they wanted to introduce them to the younger generation.

Before long, Chu Shengfan was surrounded by a group of handsome men and beautiful women, all of whom were direct descendants of the top forces in Qianling City.

While ostensibly an exchange among the younger generation, the daughters sent there were, in reality, quite frankly and openly, aware of the powerful aristocratic intentions and ambitions of these women.

They wanted to cultivate their relationship, and if they could form a marriage, that would be wonderful. They didn't care about Chu Shengfan's eighth-rank family at all, but his status as a teacher was worth the effort.

These young men and women from prominent families were still somewhat naive in their dealings with others. Chu Shengfan, who was somewhat mature, responded to their conversations while silently observing each person's character and qualities, deciding which ones he could become close friends with and which ones he could only keep at arm's length.

The Chu family had not been a prominent family for long, and Chu Shengfan had not yet been tainted by the bad habit of making friends based solely on self-interest. Therefore, he now made friends entirely based on his own feelings.

However, since this was their first meeting, Chu Shengfan spoke more, trying to take care of everyone and make sure no one felt neglected.

The banquet lasted until 3 p.m. before the guests gradually dispersed, and the palace gradually became quiet, leaving only the servants of the Qinghan Palace cleaning up the mess and the family members who hosted the banquet.

Halfway through the banquet, Chu Shengyuan was taken away by Luo Xuan, who had left early.

After instructing Chu Shengfan to go to the main hall to find her the next day, Yang Qingxue also left the palace. Apart from the servants, only Chu Shengfan and his parents remained.

Chu Qinhui and Jiang Nian both looked rather sullen, and Chu Shengfan knew they were still worried about Chu Shengyuan's matter.

So he reassured them, "Don't worry, I'll take care of Xiao Yuan here, nothing will happen."

Chu Qinhui looked at Chu Shengfan with some guilt in his eyes, "My poor son, not only are we of no use at home, but we also have to trouble you with things at home all the time."

Chu Shengfan shook his head firmly, "We are family, so there's no such thing as hardship. If it weren't for the family's help, I wouldn't be standing here today."

Don't overthink it. You've all been quite tired lately. Take the next few days to explore Qianling City and relax.

Chu Qinhui shook his head. "No, I've been away for quite some time, and the journey takes a lot of time. There are also many things to take care of at home."

We must manage the business well and develop the family business so that we can be a strong support for you brothers.

Chu Shengfan was about to say something more when Jiang Nian grabbed his arm and stared at him intently.

"My son, you look much more noble dressed like this. You've been mature for your age, and we trust you with everything you do. However, Qianling City is far from home."

I was worried that if you encountered any problems, your family wouldn't be able to support you. But it's good that your brother is staying at the academy; at least you can confide in each other if you have any difficulties.

However, your younger brother is very lively, so you need to keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't accidentally offend any important people.

As she spoke, Jiang Nian's eyes gradually reddened.

"Mother, don't worry. Xiao Yuan is a person of great fortune. No matter what trouble he encounters, he will be able to turn danger into safety and even gain a lot of benefits. Perhaps I, as his older brother, will even benefit from his good fortune at the academy."

"When you return home, don't be too busy with worldly affairs; instead, focus more on cultivating your own spiritual realm."

Jiang Nian nodded gently and patted Chu Shengfan's arm lightly.

"Your mother and I have decided to do our best to expand our family business towards Qianling Academy, hoping to establish a stable business within the next few years."

"At that time, this will be a place where the family can stay, and it will be convenient for you two brothers to come and visit."
