Eternal Beast Taming Family

"You really left Xiao Yuan at Qianling Academy?" Chu Jingyu was so angry that he almost threw his teacup on the ground.

He pointed at Chu Qinhui with exasperation, "Didn't I repeatedly tell you through a letter that you should bring him back?"

Being scolded like that by his father, Chu Qinhui looked completely aggrieved.

"That's a big shot at the Transformation Rank. He personally offered to take Xiao Yuan as a disciple. I initially refused, but he said that Xiao Yuan's luck was too strong, and even a big shot at the Transformation Rank couldn't suppress it."

Many prominent families were watching at the time. With just one sentence, he put me in a difficult position. If I didn't agree and he forcibly brought Xiao Yuan back, our Qixia Town would inevitably attract many demons and monsters.

Moreover, I think it's a good idea for Xiao Yuan to become an apprentice. At least he'll have someone to rely on, and his future achievements will definitely be significant.

"Evolving Rank," Chu Jingyu silently repeated the term several times in his mouth. He withdrew his finger somewhat helplessly. They truly had no room to refuse the existence of this rank.

However, he still felt frustrated. "How do you know that the being at the Transformation Rank is a good person, and how he will treat our Xiao Yuan?"

What hardships have they endured, what suffering have they endured, and how are they supposed to cope? What help can we offer them here?

Faced with his father's repeated questions, Chu Qinhui fell silent. Jiang Nian's eyes reddened slightly, as the old man's words reflected the worries in the hearts of the couple.

"We've already told Xiao Fan to keep a close eye on Xiao Yuan. Xiao Yuan has incredible luck, so our worries might be unnecessary, and he might even gain a lot from this."

Chu Jingyu knew that his little guy had always been very lucky. Hearing Chu Qinhui's words, he calmed down a bit and his expression became calm again.

He stood up and glared at Chu Qinhui again. "I don't care. You failed to keep an eye on my eldest grandson. You must give me a new one within two years."

With that, he left through the doorway, one hand behind his back.

Chu Jingyu's meaning was clear: if he wanted to get another grandson, then he would have to have another one. Faced with such a direct pressure to have a child, the redness around Jiang Nian's eyes spread across her fair face.

Chu Qinhui and Jiang Nian exchanged a glance, then awkwardly looked away and coughed lightly.

"I'm going to the ancestral hall. You go see Xiaohan first."

As he spoke, he quickly left the courtyard and soon arrived outside the ancestral hall.

Upon arriving at the ancestral hall, he first rang the doorbell outside the courtyard.

"Thump, thump, thump."

The ancient, deep sound echoed outside the courtyard.

A moment later, a slightly ethereal voice came from inside the ancestral hall, "Enter."

Chu Qinhui pushed open the door and carefully closed it behind him. He came to the outside of the hall and saw that Chu Zu, whom he had not seen for many days, was standing with his back to him in front of the offering table.

Upon entering the hall, Chu Qinhui bowed deeply, saying, "Greetings, Ancestor Chu. Qinhui has returned from Qianling City."

"Hmm." Chu Mu nodded slightly. "Xiao Yuan hasn't returned?"

Chu Zu's tone was light and cheerful, not like a father's reproach.

Thinking that he wouldn't be scolded anymore, Chu Qinhui readily agreed, "Yes, I was accepted as a disciple by a Grand Master of the Transformation Rank over there, so I didn't come back with me."

Chu Mu slowly turned around, looking at Chu Qinhui, who was still kneeling on the ground. As if reading his mind,

"You don't need to worry. Actually, part of the responsibility for his inability to go home this time lies with me. If I hadn't covered for him, he wouldn't have been able to hitch a ride to Qianling City."

Although what Chu Mu said was true, Chu Qinhui naturally dared not truly blame Chu Zu, and could only repeatedly say, "I dare not. Chu Zu's actions must have a deeper meaning."

"Get up first," Chu Mu said, watching Chu Qinhui stand up before continuing, "Actually, there's no deeper meaning. I just love this child. He begged me, and I softened and agreed."

Chu Qinhui's body stiffened for a moment before he replied with a blank expression, "Then... then I can only say that the child should have such an experience."

Chu Mu shook his head. "You don't need to worry. I think Xiao Yuan's teacher is quite good. He won't have any other thoughts about taking Xiao Yuan as his disciple."

Hearing this guarantee from Chu Zu himself, Chu Qinhui finally calmed down completely, the burden he had carried along the way dissipated, and he felt a complete sense of relaxation from the depths of his heart.

He bowed to Chu Mu again, "Ancestor Chu, Qin Hui has another request. Please grant it."

"Please feel free to speak."

"Although Xiao Fan has a teacher as a background in Qianlingfu City, his own foundation is weak. Therefore, he wants to take advantage of Master Wu Yuan's return this time to bring a group of unique source beasts with him."

In the future, it will be much easier to repay favors or expand one's social network.

Chu Mu looked at the daylight outside the hall and smiled slightly. "However, in the next few days, the family became tense and brought two or three of each kind of source beast and took stock of all the materials in the warehouse."

We must do our best to meet Xiao Fan's request this time.

Upon seeing that Chu Zu had agreed, Chu Qinhui's face lit up with joy. "Alright, Chu Zu, I'll get on it right away."

……

Standing behind the counter, Jiang Yan still felt as if she were in a dream.

Since the three eighth-rank noble families in the town became servant families of the Chu family, his family no longer needed to hide their business of opening up trade routes in other towns.

After all, with the execution of six Spirit Rank Contract Masters that time, news about the Chu family had spread throughout the entire Paper Hawk County.

Now, as long as a caravan carries the Chu family's sign, no town would dare refuse passage. Moreover, the minimum requirement for any caravan is that it is led by a Spirit Rank Contract Master, which is enough to rival the largest power in town.

So shops bearing the name "Chu Family" opened up in Hundred Insect Town, and Jiang Yan, who was once a guard in a caravan, became the accountant of this beast shop because he was literate.

The spirit-ranked contract master assigned to this town is from the Fu family, and his name is Fu Chengluo.

Almost on his first day joining the caravan, Fu Chengluo announced that he would no longer concern himself with anything related to the caravan and that it would continue to operate as it had always done.

You only need to summon him when you need to use force to deter others. He seems to be a madman obsessed with cultivation, but he's actually quite easy to get along with.

Pulling his thoughts back, Jiang Yan turned his gaze back to the shop. The Chu family had suddenly issued a task: to collect all available materials and as many purchasable source beasts in the town as possible and send them back to their master.

Therefore, before he could even sell a single source beast in his newly opened shop, he had to first transform into a purchasing agent to buy back the corresponding items from Baichong Town.

However, thanks to the information gathered beforehand, completing the master's task is not too difficult now.

Jiang Yanqing counted all the available funds in the account and then went out to make purchases with several shop assistants.
