Eternal Beast Taming Family

Zhao Xuanlang gave a slight bow to Chu Shengfan, who was sizing him up. "I wonder what brings Young Master Chu to summon me?"

His attitude was neither reserved nor timid or obsequious; rather, it was like a reunion of old friends.

Chu Shengfan nodded slightly to himself, "I just want to see who this person is who can win my sworn sister's heart."

Zhao Xuanlang's gaze lingered for a moment, then he smiled somewhat awkwardly, "So, what do you think of our meeting today, Young Master Chu?"

Chu Shengfan slightly curled the corners of his mouth, "Young Master Zhao has an outstanding temperament, so it is only right that he is valued by my sworn sister. However, I do not know how long this favor will last."

Upon hearing Chu Shengfan's words, Zhao Xuanlang's face paled slightly, but his expression did not change much. The change in his pale face was due to the spatial fluctuations caused by Chu Shengfan's high level of life, which still had some effect on him.

"As long as Miss Su-won values ​​me, Xuan-lang will stay by her side for a day." He said this with a firm tone.

Even Chu Shengfan couldn't sense how much sincerity he truly possessed.

"My sworn sister is in charge of the medical care in the entire Qixia Town. One of you is a contract master of a different rank, while the other is just an ordinary person. Judging from your extensive reading, you should be aware of the difference in status between you."

As a man, if I can't even protect the woman I love from the wind and rain, I don't understand the point of your relationship.

"Oh, so Young Master Chu came today to break us up?" Zhao Xuanlang's smile faded slightly, revealing a hint of estrangement.

"No, I just feel that your presence doesn't offer her much help, and I'm simply a little confused about it."

"Why does Young Master Chu insist that in a relationship, the man must be more dominant than the woman? Perhaps your sworn sister simply needs a confidant, and if the man is too domineering, she might not like him?"

Hearing his words, Chu Shengfan was slightly stunned. He suddenly thought that Chu Suyuan would marry into a family of similar status and be confined to the inner quarters, becoming the shadow of a strange man. That was not what he wanted to see either.

If that person were his own sister, Chu Shenghan, who was related to him by blood, he would feel his blood surging and he would probably cleave that man into eight pieces.

Thinking about all this, Zhao Xuanlang in front of me seemed much more pleasing to the eye.

Perhaps it was because of this man's low social status that Chu Su-won chose him.

Judging from what I've seen today, this man is probably no ordinary person. Having hooked up with Chu Suyuan, who knows what kind of influential figure he will become in the future.

However, Chu Shengfan was not worried. It was a good thing that such a talented person had appeared in the Chu family's marriage network. If he was a dragon, the Chu family would give him a chance to rise to prominence.

"The wedding date is set for the fifteenth of August. However, your residence cannot be where your family lives. I will choose a suitable courtyard for you in Qixia Town."

Although you and my sworn sister are both husband and wife, it is not that my sworn sister entered your family and became your Zhao family's new bride serving tea.

Chu Shengfan's words were somewhat euphemistic, but Zhao Xuanlang, who was in front of him, was so insightful that he instantly understood the protective meaning behind Chu Shengfan's words towards Chu Suyuan.

He cupped his hands in a gesture of respect. "I will certainly follow Young Master Chu's wishes, but I would appreciate it if Young Master Chu could discuss these matters with Su Yuan beforehand."

The way they called him was strangely intimate. Hearing that affectionate address, Chu Shengfan felt a strange sensation all over his body, as if some kind of primordial beast's claws were scratching at his arm.

In other words, Chu Suyuan's relationship with him was just so-so. If any man dared to call his sister's name so intimately in front of him, he would definitely make him understand why the flowers were so red.

Chu Shengfan waved his hand, instructing his servants to see Zhao Xuanlang off. He then went to the clinic to meet Chu Suyuan and ask her for her opinion on Zhao Xuanlang.

Seeing that she had not acted impulsively or been blinded by love, but had carefully considered her decision to marry Zhao Xuanlang, she was finally relieved.

……

Inside the Chu family mansion.

"Thump, thump, thump"

A gentle knocking sounded outside Chu Shengyuan's courtyard.

Chu Shengyuan put down the toy he was playing with Chu Shengyu, his gaze falling on the courtyard outside. He snapped his fingers, and the courtyard gate opened silently, revealing a slightly reserved-looking boy standing outside.

Chu Shengyuan glanced at the boy, who was probably almost a head taller than him, assuming he was just another servant he hadn't seen before, and asked casually, "What is it?"

Seeing that Chu Shengyuan did not recognize him, the boy's cheeks flushed slightly, and a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes.

"Young Master Yuan, Madam was worried that you might be bored at home, so she specially sent me as your guide to accompany you around the town or the surrounding area."

Upon hearing the boy's words, Chu Shengyuan's eyes lit up. He had thought he would be kept at home for the next few days, but unexpectedly, he still had the opportunity to wander around.

Although the boy in front of him is definitely not just a guide but also a monitor, he is really well-behaved right now and has no intention of running around, so whether he is being monitored or not is really not important to him.

He ignored the boy, turned to face Chu Shengyu, and lifted him into the air. "Xiaoyu, shall we go out and play?"

Chu Shengyu tilted his head and looked outside the courtyard, then obediently replied, "Okay."

Chu Shengyuan then looked at the boy standing at the door and said, "Lead the way."

The boy licked his lips and then nodded with a slightly bitter expression.

As they exited the Chu family mansion, the young man asked Chu Shengyuan in a low voice, "Young Master, would you like to go to Qixia Town, the grassland, or perhaps stroll around the area outside the town?"

The grasslands are home to almost all of the Chu family's source beasts.

Standing on the mountain road, looking down from here, you can even see all sorts of source beasts living leisurely in that grassland.

"Let's go check out the grasslands first." Chu Shengyuan was clearly more interested in the source beasts than in the humanities.

The young man responded with a soft "Okay".

On the way, the boy seemed unable to resist striking up a conversation with Chu Shengyuan, "Young Master Yuan, you must have made many friends in Qianling City? But why haven't you grown taller?"

This servant was the most audacious servant Chu Shengyuan had ever seen in the Chu family, actually speaking to him in such an intimate tone.

However, Chu Shengyuan wasn't angry. Although he was somewhat of a free spirit in the academy, he still adhered to certain established rules that he considered unreasonable.

Actually, he was usually quite easygoing, so he didn't mind chatting with the young servant in front of him.

"That's for sure. I've not only made many friends, but they all follow my lead."

"You're not growing tall. Haven't you heard the saying, 'Great things come from small beginnings'? I'm just accumulating strength. You'll see a completely different picture a few years from now."

"Young Master is naturally blessed with good fortune, so this is to be expected," the young servant echoed, whether sincerely or not.

Chu Shengyuan glanced at the boy a few more times, feeling a sense of familiarity about him, though he couldn't quite recognize him.
