Beastmaster

Jing Cangming pulled the village chief aside and told him in detail about the Wanshou Academy.

Although Jing Cangming is now the master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion, he still habitually discusses everything with the village chief.

The old village chief listened carefully and patted Jing Cangming on the shoulder, "Cangming, I think there is nothing wrong with your idea. With your talents, you will leave here sooner or later."

Jing Cangming said, "Grandpa, but I just feel worried about everyone and Wanshou City."

"Haha, kid, you don't have to worry about this. If you join other forces, you may need to consider Wanshou City, but if you join Wanshou Academy, you don't have to worry at all."

"I understand all this, but I'm afraid that Yu Feng from Wanshou Academy will do something shady and attack Wanshou City," Jing Cangming said with some concern.

"My child, remember, a real man walks between heaven and earth, and no person or thing can become your worry. Compared with you, we can only accompany you for a part of your life. The only thing that truly accompanies you is glory! So, my child, you have to learn to be more carefree. You are only thirteen years old. Don't make yourself too tired. Go and do what you want to do," the old village chief touched Jing Cangming's head.

Jing Cangming unconsciously had more tears in his eyes. The old village chief actually said this so that the few people could leave with peace of mind.

"Grandpa, even if we leave, we will protect Wanshou City from worrying," Zhan Yongyi walked over and said.

"Haha, kids, I'm very happy that you have such ideas. After all, Wanshou City was built by you. However, I hope you can take a long-term view. The world outside is very big."

The two children looked at each other and nodded to the village chief.

"Okay, go and reunite with your parents, and don't hang around an old man like me," said the old village chief with a smile.

Jing Cangming and Zhan Yongyi followed their parents back home.

In the evening, Jingyue made a lot of delicious food, and Jingkai even took out some wine.

A family of four sat around the table, looking very warm.

Jing Kai opened the jar of wine, and a rich aroma wafted out instantly. He was already one-third drunk before he even drank it. Jing Kai poured himself a glass, and then poured another glass for Jing Cangming.

Jing Cangming was a little surprised. This was the first time his father drank with him.

"Look at you, the child is so young and you let him drink," Jingyue patted Jing Kai and said dissatisfiedly.

Jing Kai said with a smile, "Just this once, my son and his friends are leaving. Do you know when they can come back?"

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere instantly calmed down. Although Jing Cangming was not often at home before, at least in Wanshou City, they could always know his news at any time. But if they went to the mainland, it would be difficult to know their news.

Jingyue lowered her head and said nothing, while Jingkai picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, son! Let's have a good drink with your father today!"

Jing Cangming slowly raised his glass, "Dad..."

The eyes of both of them were already filled with tears, and Jingyue had already started crying.

Yan Yuxiao sat aside, saying nothing, and no one knew what she was thinking.

The two of them clinked their glasses lightly and then drank them all.

Jing Kai placed the wine glass heavily on the table with a clanging sound. "Hahaha, what a delight!"

Jing Cangming did not hesitate and drank it all in one gulp, but his expression was not as natural as Jing Kai's. He even stuck out his tongue after drinking.

Seeing this, Jing Kai laughed out loud, "As expected of my son, he can drink as much as I do!"

Then Jing Kai filled another glass for himself and Jing Cangming.

Then he raised it again, "Come on! Do it!"

At this time, Jing Kai didn't wait for Jing Cangming to clink glasses, and drank it himself. When he raised his head, a tear had already flowed down his cheek.

Jing Cangming also raised his glass, "Dad! Mom! Thank you for raising me for so many years. I don't know when I can return home to visit you after this trip! Please forgive me, parents!"

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank it.

After drinking the second cup, Jing Cangming felt a little dizzy, and Yan Yuxiao beside him hurriedly supported him.

"Cang Ming..."

"I'm fine," Jing Cangming said with a smile, holding Yan Yuxiao's hand.

Jing Cangming picked up the wine jar, filled Jing Kai's glass, and filled his own glass.

"Dad! I'll drink it!" Jing Cangming raised the glass with both hands and drank another one.

Then Jing Cangming and Jing Kai drank a few more cups, while Jingyue and Yan Yuxiao looked at their men respectively.

Soon, Jing Kai and Jing Cangming both fell down due to being drunk.

Jingyue stood up and said, "Yuxiao, help Cangming go back and rest."

Yan Yuxiao nodded, then carried Jing Cangming back to his room.

Jingyue wiped her tears, carried Jingkai back to the room.

In Jing Cangming's room, Yan Yuxiao had just put Jing Cangming on the bed when Jing Cangming opened his eyes.

Yan Yuxiao asked, "Do you want to vomit?"

Jing Cangming sat up, as if he had not drunk any alcohol at all, "No, I'm not drunk too much. The beast will evaporate the alcohol very quickly."

Yan Yuxiao had never drunk alcohol, so she didn't know. She thought Jing Cangming was not feeling well.

"Yuxiao, come for a walk with me," Jing Cangming stood up and came over.

"Okay," Yan Yuxiao grabbed Jing Cangming's hand.

The two of them walked out the door quietly.

"Where are we going?"

"follow me".

Jing Cangming took Yan Yuxiao and walked out of the village.

The two came to the back mountain where Jing Cangming had been practicing since he was a child.

Yan Yuxiao followed Jing Cangming to the hill and sat down.

Jing Cangming pointed to the open space below and said, "In the past, the three of us followed the village chief to practice here."

"Since I can remember, I have basically never spent much time with my parents. I could only come back to visit them on weekends. Most of the time I spent practicing in seclusion with the village chief."

Yan Yuxiao gently held Jing Cangming's arm and leaned her head on Jing Cangming's shoulder.

"I always thought that since I was in the village, I could go back home secretly when I missed them, and it felt like I was at home. Later, the Wanshou Pavilion was established, and I thought that since they were all in Wanshou City, I could come back to see them when I missed them, so it felt like I was at home. But now I will be going to the Western Continent and studying in the academy, and it won’t be so easy to get out."

Jing Cangming looked towards the direction of the village with some loss, tears falling drop by drop.

Yan Yuxiao reached out and wiped away Jing Cangming's tears, "Do you want to hear my story?"

Jing Cangming turned around and looked at Yan Yuxiao, "Okay, I've known you for so long, but I still don't know your story."

Yan Yuxiao pushed her hair behind her ears and looked into the distance.

"The place where I was born is more powerful than the aristocratic families. It can be said that it is a dominant place."

Jing Cangming looked at her in shock, because he always thought that she was from an aristocratic family, or from a family that was slightly more powerful than an aristocratic family, but he didn't expect that she could reach the point of dominating a region.

"I haven't seen my father since I was a child. My mother said that my father went to do something great, but she never told me what it was," Yan Yuxiao said a little lonely.

"But my mother is usually very busy. Since I can remember, I rarely see her. Every time she comes, she will assign me some tasks, such as asking me to do something within a certain time."

"So I basically grew up with my sister, and my sister has always taken care of me."

"Ah? You have a sister?" Jing Cangming asked.

"Yes, she's not my biological sister, but a wet nurse. However, she is not much older than me. It is said that she was a child adopted by my mother, so I have always called her sister."

"Oh oh, go on."

"So when I saw your family so warm and happy at the dinner table, I was so envious," Yan Yuxiao said with tears in her eyes.

Jing Cangming patted her on the back and said, "Silly girl, this is also your home."

Yan Yuxiao turned around and smiled, then turned her head away as if she was hesitating about something.

Jing Cangming also noticed this, "Yuxiao, do you have anything to say to me?"

Yan Yuxiao pondered for a while, "Cang Ming, what do you think we should do if one day we become enemies?" Yan Yuxiao joked.

Hearing this, Jing Cangming burst into laughter, "Silly boy, how could that be? How could we become enemies? We should always be together."

Yan Yuxiao said, "Okay, let's be together forever."

Yan Yuxiao looked quietly into the distance and said in her heart, "Cang Ming, I'm sorry."

The two of them sat here until late at night before going back to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, Jing Kai woke up from last night's drunkenness.

I sat up and stretched, then looked back, but Jingyue was not in the room.

Jing Kai put on his shoes and got out of bed, "Jingyue?"

"Here," Jingyue's voice came.

Jing Kai walked towards the sound. Jingyue was sitting on the windowsill outside the house, hugging her knees with her hands.

"Haha, what are you doing here? Where are your son and Yuxiao?" Jing Kai asked.

Jingyue didn't look back, "They left. When I woke up, their room was empty."

Jing Kai was shocked and asked, "Ah? Gone?"

He hurried to Jingyue's side, and only then did Jing Kai realize that Jingyue's face was covered with tears and she was holding a letter in her hand.

"Here, this is what our son wrote to us," Jingyue raised her hand and handed the letter to Jing Kai.

Jing Kai quickly took it and started reading.

"Dad, Mom, Yu Xiao and I are leaving. I really can't stand this kind of separation. In the past, I always thought that I could come back at any time, and it was no big deal. But this time it's really different. I really don't know when I can come back. Mom and Dad, you promised me that you must take good care of yourselves and wait for me to come back. Cang Ming presents."

These few short lines revealed the feelings of parting and reluctance. Jing Kai raised his right hand to cover his eyes.

But tears still flowed down from the gap.

"Brat! Hahaha," Jing Kai laughed.

Then he sat next to Jingyue and said, "My son has grown up."

Jingyue nodded slightly, "Yes, I've grown up," and then leaned her head on Jingkai's shoulder.

The same thing happened to Zhan Yongyi's family next door. Zhan Yongyi left a letter and left quietly.

At this time, three children were sitting on the back of the Phoenix.

This time, Zhan Yongyi specifically told Fenghuang to fly slower because he wanted to take another look at the City of Beasts, the wilderness, and his home.

Although the phoenix flew very slowly, it still arrived at the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Beasts in half a day.

Jing Cangming sat in his seat, and the others also sat in their seats.

Your Highness, Old Ling is still sitting in the same seat as last time. He was called by Jing Cangming.

Elder Ling said, "Master Jing, have you thought it through in one day?"

Jing Cangming didn't waste any time, "I've thought about it, three conditions. If you agree, I'll go with you. If you don't agree, you leave."

"Hahaha, that's great, please go ahead."

"The first requirement is that after we leave, Wanshou Academy must unconditionally protect Wanshou City."

"No big deal, promise."

"The second request is that within Wanshou College, the three of us will not obey orders from the college."

Mr. Ling hesitated for a moment and said, "Well... okay, let me tell you the third request."

Jing Cangming suddenly stood up and said, "Third request! I want Yu Feng's life!"

Jing Cangming said this very loudly.

Ling Lao said, "Oh? Why is that?"

Old Ling had no idea that Yu Feng had injured the beast general of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion, so he looked confused.

Jing Cangming said, "Come in!"

Elder Ling looked towards the entrance of the hall and saw a beast general walking in, supported by two people, with a heavy bandage on his shoulder.

"Mr. Ling, look, this is Yu Feng's doing. He just went to pass a message back, but he suffered such a serious injury! If it was five millimeters lower, it would have hit the heart!" Jing Cangming said unhappily.

Elder Ling was a little helpless when he saw this. "This... Hey, Yu Feng is always arrogant and domineering. How about this, Pavilion Master Jing, when I go back, I will personally bring him to apologize to this young friend. Is that okay with you?"

Jing Cangming said decisively, "No! I want his life to compensate my brother!"

When the beast general heard the Pavilion Master call him brother, his blood boiled and he looked at Jing Cangming with tears of emotion in his eyes.

He also didn't expect that because of him, the Pavilion Master's third condition was to take Yu Feng's life. At this moment, he secretly swore in his heart that his life belonged to Jing Cangming, and he would do whatever Jing Cangming asked him to do in the future, even if it meant dying, he would not hesitate.

Of course, Jing Cangming didn’t know all this.

Jing Cangming still said, "Mr. Ling, if you want the three of us to go back with you, you have to bring Yu Feng's life with you."

Jing Cangming no longer called Mr. Ling "you" at this time, but "you", because before he faced Mr. Ling as a junior, but this time he faced him as the master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion.

Elder Ling was obviously a little hesitant. "Master Jing, Yu Feng is also a talent of our Wanshou Academy. He is also a top-notch genius at level eight. I'm afraid it's not right for you to ask me to take his life, right?"

Although Elder Ling wanted to take Jing Cangming and the other two with him, he also didn't want to lose a beastmaster. Not to mention how much resources and effort they had poured into it, the Yu family was also a large family.

"Haha, it seems we have nothing to talk about. Mr. Ling, I'm sorry to have troubled you to make this trip in vain."

"Master Jing, do you think you can change the conditions?" asked Old Ling.

Jing Cangming raised his head and looked at Mr. Ling with some disdain, "No, if one of these three conditions is not met, we will not leave."
