Eternal Beast Taming Family

At this moment, Chu Qinhui was no longer the mysterious and unpredictable patriarch of the Chu family, the actual controller of Wandao City, and the father of many King-level Contract Masters.

He is now just an ordinary child, afraid of losing his father.

Seeing their father like this, Chu Shengyuan and Chu Shengyu, while worried about their grandfather, couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for their father and quickly comforted him:

"Father, don't worry, Grandfather will be alright. We're all here. With so many medicinal beasts, surely one of them can cure his illness. What you need to do now is calm down."

After comforting his father and helping him sit down, Chu Shengyuan went outside and instructed Zhang Heng, the head butler who had been waiting there:

"Tell me to thoroughly investigate every person and item that my grandfather has come into contact with these past few days, and bring them up to me. I want to personally examine them."

Zhang Heng rarely saw Chu Shengyuan with such a cold and hard expression, but he knew that these were extraordinary times, so he quickly agreed and went to do his work.

Chu Shengyuan returned to the room, by which time Chu Shengfan had already finished examining his grandfather's physical condition.

He looked at the Chu family members guarding him and shook his head slightly. "It's not an illness, but a curse."

Since it is a curse, it means that the "Medicine King Ancient Tree's" skills in treating injuries and prolonging life are not very effective for Chu Jingyu's physical condition, at most only providing some relief.

The only thing useful for dealing with this state right now is the "Blessed Immortal Child" who has only reached the Evolutionary Stage.

Only its "purifying spiritual light" can dispel this unwarranted curse.

However, Chu Jingyu's current state is the result of its use of this skill. It seems that the person who cast the curse is far above the "Fortune Child".

Chu Shengfan glanced around at his family members before slowly and softly speaking.

"This curse is probably the work of the Celestial Venerable..."

These words struck like a thunderbolt, hitting the hearts of all the Chu family members in the room hard.

"Is it...is it that Celestial Venerable Yanling?"

Chu Shengyuan's voice was somewhat hoarse. They had just cut off the Heavenly Venerable's path to the mortal realm when his grandfather encountered trouble. He couldn't help but connect the two.

Chu Shengfan's expression was somewhat blank. He shook his head. "I...don't know. Back then, the Heavenly Venerable was isolated from the world. If he could have acted in the lower realm, wouldn't it have been better to target us directly?"

How could they possibly go through all this trouble to target their grandfather, who lives so far away in Wandao Mountain?

The three of them fell silent at the same time. What Chu Shengfan said made sense. If the Heavenly Venerable Yanling could really make a move across worlds, he would probably have attacked the three of them long ago, and he would probably be able to descend normally by now.

After all, in the eyes of the Celestial Venerable, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference between the Venerable King realm and the Evolutionary Rank.

The fact that Chu Jingyu was cursed was shrouded in mystery in their eyes.

As for the conversation between the three, Chu Qinhui and the others were rather confused, wondering what "unfamiliar," "celestial being," and "isolated from the world" meant.

Just as Chu Qinhui was about to ask for clarification, a soft cough came from the bedside.

"Cough cough cough."

Indeed, Chu Jingyu had slowly woken up. He opened his eyes and saw a circle of people surrounding his bed. He spoke weakly...

"What's going on? Everyone's crowding around this old man... Are you all so free today?"

As he spoke, Chu Jingyu noticed that something was wrong with his physical condition. His usually abundant spiritual energy seemed to have become very depleted, and even speaking was very tiring.

"Father, you suddenly fainted this morning for some reason. I was worried, so I called them all back."

Chu Qinhui approached the bedside, explaining as he helped Chu Jingyu sit up.

Upon hearing this, Chu Jingyu raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? Have you examined my body and found out what's wrong?"

After speaking, his thin, ashen face turned to Chu Shengfan with his wise eyes.

Chu Shengfan originally wanted to make excuses and go back to find a solution himself, but when those eyes looked over, he knew he couldn't hide it any longer.

So he honestly replied, "It seems to be a curse, and it was planted by a being of a relatively high level. Grandfather, have you encountered anything strange these past few days? Or any strange objects?"

Upon hearing that he was cursed by a powerful being, Chu Jingyu showed no panic. Instead, he calmly recalled the events, then slowly shook his head.

"Nothing strange has happened; the activities have proceeded as usual these past few days."

Even my grandfather said he hadn't encountered anything strange, and it seemed the clues had suddenly gone cold.

"Whatever the reason, I'll go ask Chu Zu if he has a solution."

As Chu Shengyuan was about to step out of the house, a weak but sharp shout stopped him in his tracks.

"Wait, just because of my trivial matter, you're going to disturb the slumbering Chu Ancestor?"

Chu Jingyu's breathing became somewhat rapid, seemingly due to excitement.

On the contrary, Chu Shengyuan, upon hearing his grandfather's words, turned his head with an expression of disbelief.

"Grandpa, this is no small matter. It's a matter of life and death."

Chu Jingyu slowly shook his head. "What if even Ancestor Chu can't do anything about it?"

"There's no other way, let's just look for others. What's wrong with asking around?" Chu Shengyuan said, somewhat puzzled.

"The Ancestor Chu has protected our Chu family for nearly three hundred years. Your source beasts and your evolution are all the result of the abilities he bestowed upon you."

But over the years, have you ever seen Chu Zu heal or save lives?

"When I lost my arm, it was only after your father's disciple, the Ginseng-Holding Boy, advanced to the Spirit Rank that it was healed. Your current attempt to beg Ancestor Chu will only put him in a difficult position."

"Cough cough cough."

"Now I ask you, if you went to ask him, and he answered that he couldn't cure it, wouldn't you resent him in your hearts?"

Chu Shengyuan was about to answer no immediately, but when his grandfather's eyes swept over him and he felt the scrutinizing gaze, he suddenly calmed down.

Suddenly, they realized that it was impossible for them not to have any complaints, after all, in their eyes, Chu Zu was capable of doing too many things.

Just like a person who has always been perfect, if they suddenly become imperfect, they will definitely experience a collapse of some kind of belief.

Looking at the silent Chu family members in the room, Chu Jingyu sighed.

"Ancestor Chu knows the physical condition of every member of the Chu family very well. If he has a solution, he will come and suggest it in person. If not, you should not bother him."

Instead of gathering here sighing, why don't you all go and peruse some ancient texts, or elevate your own understanding? Perhaps then this old man still has a glimmer of hope. Go, all of you!

"Just leave Xiao Ling'er alone to keep me company."
