Eternal Beast Taming Family

His domain was rudely attacked from the outside. Chu Shengfan gently raised his hand, and the two source beasts withdrew their domains back into their bodies.

A figure accompanied by several servants swaggered in from outside the hall.

Chu Shengfan glanced at the newcomer and chuckled softly. "Your Highness Jingheng, did you not attend the council at the Jing Palace? Or is it because of your failure that you can no longer retain your status as Crown Prince?"

Now Chu Shengfan truly understands that it is Jing Heng's presence that makes him feel the most heartache.

As expected, upon hearing this, Jing Heng's face, which had been set up as if to watch a joke, instantly darkened.

"I never knew you could still be so sharp-tongued even as a prisoner."

"A prisoner? Didn't His Majesty the Blood King just bestow upon me the title of Marquis Yanling? Isn't this a sign of high hopes placed on me? Or have I misunderstood the King's intentions? Next time he summons me, I will ask him carefully."

Upon hearing this, Jing Heng's expression immediately turned unnatural. The "prisoner" he referred to was naturally the current situation of Chu Shengfan as analyzed by his subordinates.

However, this is only a consensus. The true purpose of His Majesty the True King bestowing the title of Marquis Yanling upon Chu Shengfan remains to be discussed. Only Jing Heng, as the Crown Prince, who is used to acting freely in the capital, would speak so frankly.

"snort."

Jing Heng snorted coldly, avoiding the topic and refusing to argue with Chu Shengfan.

His gaze fell on the "Ancient Medicine King Tree" that was quietly floating in the air inside the palace. His eyes were filled with contemplation. This was the "Ancient Medicine King Tree" that had caused Elder Zong and the True King to change their attitudes so drastically.

He raised his hand to pluck a leaf from the "Ancient Medicine King Tree," but Chu Shengfan waved his hand gently, and the "Ancient Medicine King Tree" was returned to the Source Beast Space.

"Your Highness Jingheng's act of taking it without asking is far too impolite."

Jing Heng flicked his fingers in the air, a relaxed smile spreading across his face.

"Qianling Prefecture, Muyang City, the Chu family, right? Tell me, how many members of your family will be brought to this capital city if I give the order?"

"Now that I can't touch your younger brother, does that mean your entire family has connections to the Imperial Sea True King's Mansion?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Shengfan's expression instantly turned fierce. Just as Grandpa Sun had said, in this dynasty, as long as the royal family could find his family, they would use that to threaten him.

However, considering Sun Chunchen's promise and Xiao Yuan's teacher, Grand Master Luo Xuan must have made some arrangements in Qianling Prefecture City. The royal family's control over the aristocratic families within Qianling Prefecture must have been flawed.

From the very beginning, when the royal family mistook Nan Li's fiancé, it was clear that the Great Master Luo Xuan had been guiding the royal family's perceptions in certain ways.

Even if the royal decree reaches Qianling Prefecture, there will certainly be a huge time lag, let alone whether it will be effective.

By then, his family will probably have already left Qianling Mansion.

Thinking about all this, Chu Shengfan felt much more at ease, but his expression turned cold, as if he was very dissatisfied with Jing Heng's method of threatening his family's lives.

"For a member of the royal family to act in such a despicable manner is truly shameful."

"As long as it's real and effective, I will guarantee the safety of your entire family and make your Chu family a noble family no less than the Three Dukes."

"If I attain the rank of King, I will grant your Chu family the title of the foremost family below the royal family. This is a divine soul contract, upon which all my agreements are made, and I absolutely cannot break my word."

Hearing Jing Heng's words, Chu Shengfan suddenly understood. It was clear that Jing Heng was also somewhat afraid.

Fearing that his performance today would cost him his position as crown prince, it was clear that Blood King had something in mind regarding the "Ancient Tree of Medicine King" that Chu Shengfan possessed.

So he rushed over to threaten Chu Shengfan, wanting to use the family as leverage to turn Chu Shengfan into a corpse puppet again and completely control him.

If this succeeds, his position will remain unshaken, and he may even receive a reward from the true king.

Having cleared his mind, Chu Shengfan gazed at Jing Heng before him, then sat cross-legged back on his prayer mat.

"Your Highness Jingheng, please go ahead. I have already truly died once for my family. I owe my family nothing now. There's nothing wrong with being a cold and indifferent person. As long as I am free, I don't care if the world is in chaos."

Seeing Chu Shengfan's nonchalant attitude, Jing Heng frowned. This was so different from the Chu Shengfan before. Could it be that he had truly become indifferent to everything in the face of life and death?

"I don't care if you're genuinely cold-hearted or just pretending not to care. Bring your family here and we'll see. My promise is valid anytime. If you've thought it through, you can send someone to inform me anytime."

After saying this, Jing Heng flicked his flowing sleeves and left the palace.

Once he confirmed that the person had indeed left, Chu Shengfan took out the "Ten Thousand Mile Book" and described his current situation to his family, informing them to prepare to leave the Jingyuan Dynasty as soon as possible.

After describing all this, Chu Shengfan didn't even have time to check the reply from his family before hurriedly putting away the "Ten Thousand Mile Scroll." Currently, there is a "True King" active in the capital.

He had to be extremely cautious about anything that could expose his family's secrets.

……

In just a few days, Zheng Yuandao had successfully led Chu Shengyuan and the others back to Qianling Academy.

Zheng Yuandao and Chu Shengyuan went to see Grand Master Luo Xuan together, while Chu Shengfan's assistant Su Yi hurriedly returned to Qinghan Mountain to inform the Qinghan Palace Master of the news that Chu Shengfan was staying in the capital.

In the tranquil back mountain area of ​​Master Luo Xuan's academy, beneath ancient and vigorous pine trees, Chu Shengyuan and Zheng Yuandao met Master Luo Xuan.

However, unlike before he left, Grand Master Luo Xuan's eyes became unusually cloudy, as if the black pupils and the whites of his eyes had merged together, becoming chaotic.

Zheng Yuandao and Chu Shengyuan were both surprised by the sight. "Teacher, your eyes?"

Luo Xuan looked up in the direction of the two and said softly, "It's alright, it's good that Xiao Yuan has returned safely."

Chu Shengyuan opened his mouth, "Teacher, I've come to say goodbye. Thank you for your guidance over the years at the academy. I may not be back for a long time."

Faced with Chu Shengyuan's departure, Grand Master Luo Xuan showed no surprise, as if he had expected it all along. Zheng Yuandao, however, who was standing beside him, was somewhat astonished.

"You're not just going home for a visit? This sounds more like a final farewell."

Chu Shengyuan was still very grateful to the dean who had helped the two brothers under those circumstances, and smiled upon hearing this.

"I will definitely come back, but for now, I definitely can't stay in the Jingyuan Dynasty."

"If needed, you and your family can cross the border from where your second senior brother is. Of course, if you have other options, you can try them yourself."

Luo Xuan's gaze seemed to be focused on Chu Shengyuan, containing a complex sigh.

"Teacher Xie, I will let you know if I need anything."

Then he bent down and kowtowed, saying, "Please be more careful from now on, teacher."

Having said that, he turned and left without looking back.
