In the reception room of the Goodwill Grocery Clinic,

Ximen Qianli was leisurely sipping tea, waiting patiently for his brother to recover and emerge.

The healing process for patients from Beyond the Heaven always took a lengthy time; he was well-prepared for this, but the fullness of gloom between his brows was not due to the solitary waiting.

It was truly because the actions of his two nephews, Ximen Huaide, this very night had infuriated him greatly, and even now, the anger had not subsided.

“So unfilial! So unworthy! Unfit to be sons! What does it mean to be a son?”

“Once this matter is settled, I must properly discipline them upon my return, I myself will take action to teach these two beasts a lesson!”

Ximen Qianli clenched his teeth, resolutely making up his mind deep within.

…

Feng Yin silently left the Goodwill Grocery Shop, and in the next moment, he was already within the hollow of a large tree.

Swiftly changing his clothes, he now donned a black robe, appearing to be in his thirties, sporting an honest and simple look with two small mustaches deliberately applied.

Once he confirmed his disguise was flawless, he leisurely climbed to the top of the tree and, in the vast expanse of falling snow, he passed by in a flash.

The flurry of snowflakes hitting his face seemed to turn his swirling emotions into an icy calm.

He left almost no trace as he made his way toward the local branch of the Beast Taming Sect, where He Xiangming resided.

…

No sooner had the brothers Ximen Huaide left the playacting than they hurried anxiously to He Xiangming’s residence.

“Chief He, you have worked hard.”

“It’s only proper, only proper. Master Ling seems to have been in good spirits lately; after accepting the gift, I merely tentatively mentioned your request, and he readily agreed,” said He Xiangming, beaming with joy. “Master Ling is about to go on a long journey, and he is currently preparing for the trip, concocting a medicine that can evade the poisonous insects in treacherous mountains and waters. However, Master Ling said that once he’s done, he will send someone to notify us, and I will accompany you to meet him.”

“Thank you, Chief He, for your kindness.”

Ximen Huaide and Ximen Huairou exchanged looks and simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that coming out tonight, taking such a big risk, was worth it after all.

What the two sought was nothing more than a real audience with Master Ling.

As for the rest… heh, as long as we know your true appearance, there’s no mystery left to speak of, isn’t it just a matter of getting whatever we want?

This Master Ling is indeed extremely skilled in training Spirit Beasts and Demon Beasts. Still, after all, he’s just a craftsman who has spent his life devoted to the art of beast taming, and such people, overly obsessed with their craft, really believe that our Ximen family, paying such a heavy price, just wants a young beast!?

Does he truly think we’ll play by the rules? That we’ll be completely honest?

An audience?!

Heh heh heh… Naive!

To travel a hundred miles is to halt at ninety, only the last little bit remains. Just sit back, sip on tea, and wait patiently!

Once we see his real face, what follows next is still up to us to decide. Even if that girl He Xiangming follows along, how powerful can her Beast Taming Sect, a mere lesser sect among the world’s great factions, be to dare contend with our four families?!

No doubt, father must have begun treatment by now. If I can get Master Ling under control on my own, it would be killing two birds with one stone, a double blessing.

What are these trivial matters worth?

Time passed, bit by bit.

Before they knew it, an hour had gone by.

“Why hasn’t anyone come yet?”

Ximen Huairou’s impatience grew, showing increased agitation.

“Don’t rush, stay calm,”

Ximen Huaide consoled his brother, but regret was also taking root in his heart.

If he had known it would take this long to wait, he would have stayed at the banquet a while longer. Perhaps if he had stayed, his father and uncle might have set out to see the divine healer by now. If he and his brother had waited until after their father and uncle left before departing themselves, it might have been disrespectful, but it certainly wouldn’t have caused them so much anger and disappointment.

But now that they were already here, talking about what could have been was meaningless.

Yet after waiting another hour and seeing that it was close to the Hour of the Mouse, with still no news, their underlying anger couldn’t help but flare up more intensely—they even harbored the thought of capturing Master Ling upon meeting him to show him that someone of a noble sect cannot be casually disregarded by a country bumpkin like him.

Even He Xiangming was starting to feel restless.

Why hasn’t someone come yet?

Could it be that Master Ling has forgotten about today?

Just then, an unusual whooshing sound came from outside, followed by gentle knocking at the door.

“They’re here!”
