Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chu Shengfan sighed, "Whether it's me or you and Nan Li, you'll both have to stay a great distance apart. The royal family won't directly kill either of you."

But what if you two were on the same platform at the same time? Whatever the outcome, it would be what the royal family hopes to see.

If the distance is too great, the royal family can't just openly name the two of you and put you on the same stage for a duel; that would be too obvious, and the royal family would never do that.

Keeping your distance from me is for the same reason.

After Chu Shengfan's analysis, Chu Shengyuan's mouth opened and closed slightly, and after a long while, he managed to stammer out, "It can be done like this?"

"I'm thinking this way to prepare for the worst. The Jingyuan royal family might not even bother with these petty tricks."

Chu Shengyuan clapped his hands. "I think you're right, brother. I'll definitely stay far away from you two later."

After a brief exchange, Nan Li removed the protective shield that had been enveloping the three of them, and then Nan Li and Chu Shengyuan left in two different directions.

After seeing the two off, Chu Shengfan's expression turned solemn. He sighed softly. With his keen mind, how could he not realize that he had been targeted by the so-called Prince Jingheng?

He currently doesn't know whether Prince Jingheng will use him as food to enhance his luck and talent, or whether he wants to become a 'source beast' that Prince Jingheng has contracted.

However, in any case, it might be really difficult for him to break out of this situation on the other side's turf. The reason he gave earlier was one aspect, but his real purpose was to prevent Xiao Yuan from getting involved in the situation further.

At least, with the identity of Princess Nanli's fiancé protecting her, Xiao Yuan should be able to leave the capital safely, and that should be enough.

As for himself...

Muyang City.

As dusk approached, the giant ship in the sky finally arrived safely at the port of Muyang City.

Chu Qinhui left the handling of the goods from the giant ship to his subordinates and then hurriedly returned to the Chu family residence in Muyang City with Chu Shenghan.

The Chu family members had already learned of the two's return, so they were all waiting in the main hall of the Chu family.

Almost immediately upon seeing the two, Chu Jingyu and Jiang Nian's gazes fell upon Chu Shenghan, scrutinizing her carefully several times.

Only after noticing anything unusual about her did I realize that the message on the "Ten Thousand Miles Book" guaranteeing her safety was true, and I was finally able to relax completely.

Jiang Nian pulled Chu Shenghan to her side and carefully inquired about her physical condition.

Chu Qinhui then recounted the incident of the Caiye City Lord intercepting them on the road and proactively inquired, "Should we halt our exchanges between the two cities for now?"

"No." Chu Jingyu shook his head slightly. "Such a method would only make us look guilty. Now, Caiye City is a gateway for our Muyang City to communicate with the outside world. Cutting off communication with it would be detrimental to the future development of Muyang City."

The bi-weekly business dealings will continue as originally agreed.

Chu Qinhui nodded in agreement. Actually, he had been struggling with this decision before, but now that his father had made a decision, he would just do as his father suggested.

"It's just that Xiao Han has inexplicably embarked on this strange trial. From now on, we should allocate more resources to Xiao Han and do our best to help her break through her realm. Perhaps we can truly unveil the veil of this hundred-faced wasteland."

Upon hearing her grandfather say this, Xiao Han quickly replied, "Grandpa, there's no need. We can't let my actions hinder the family's advancement."

Chu Jingyu's face hardened. "Family? What is a family? Every member of our family makes up a family. Everyone is an indispensable part."

No matter who gets into trouble, the rest of the family must help without hesitation. It's just a matter of allocating more resources; how could that possibly bankrupt our family? There's no room for negotiation on this.

Whenever Chu Jingyu put on a stern face, it was very intimidating, and Chu Shenghan could only silently agree.

Seeing this, Jiang Nian quickly said that Xiao Han had experienced a lot recently and needed to rest, and then took Xiao Han away from the main hall.

Chu Jingyu sighed, and only after Xiao Han left did a trace of sorrow appear between his brows.

"This happened to Xiaohan so suddenly, so you, as her father, shouldn't worry too much. Everyone has their own destiny, and perhaps this is Xiaohan's opportunity."

That's what he said, but the worry between his brows didn't lessen at all.

His palm slowly opened, emitting a faint blue light, and lotus-shaped flames emerged from his palm.

"This is a source beast that Chu Zu specially selected for Xiao Han. He originally planned to form a contract with her when she returned, but who knew that things would turn out like this now."
