Chapter 1237: Chapter 1236: The Most Powerful Exotic Beast

Wang Junyi looked at Su Changfeng. If they wanted to keep their relationship from being discovered by others, the best way was to kill all the people who knew about it. But Su Changfeng just shook his head, clearly intending to spare the old man.

After all, if someone helps you, and you turn around and kill them, that’s something Su Changfeng indeed couldn’t do.

"Sir, I’ll have to ask you to keep everything that happened just now a secret," Su Changfeng said.

The old man nodded and agreed readily, "Of course. Until now, I haven’t even seen the young master’s face clearly, so naturally, I won’t disclose anything."

"Alright, you can go back. As for the reward from earlier, I’ll have Wang Junyi send it to you," Su Changfeng said.

The old man cupped his hand towards Su Changfeng and then left without looking back.

Regarding Su Changfeng’s decision, Wang Junyi obviously had nothing to say. He looked curiously at the painting in Su Changfeng’s hand and asked, "Master, who is this girl? Is she someone you like?"

Su Changfeng glanced at Wang Junyi and said grumpily, "She’s my sister, but we accidentally got separated. See if you can help me find her."

"Ah, so that’s how it is. But, indeed, your sister is extraordinarily beautiful. Don’t worry, Master, I’ll issue the order to find her as soon as I get back. I’m sure I can help you locate her," Wang Junyi said.

His flattery skills were pretty good, but Su Changfeng obviously wasn’t in the mood to joke around with him. He shot him another glare before saying, "Don’t talk too big. I want results, not empty words."

"Rest assured, Master. As long as she’s in Tianshui City, I’ll definitely find her. But, Master, if she’s not in Tianshui City, then I’m afraid I’m powerless," Wang Junyi said.

What he said was naturally the truth. His influence was limited to Tianshui City only; once beyond there, he couldn’t do anything.

"Take it back and have someone make more copies. If we can’t find her in Tianshui City, I suppose there’s no reason for me to stay here," Su Changfeng said.

The only reason he remained in Tianshui City was to first learn about the Tianyuan Continent. But staying here all the time wouldn’t allow him to fully understand this world. Besides, if Chen Qingqing wasn’t here, he had no reason whatsoever to continue staying.

Upon hearing Su Changfeng’s intent to leave, Wang Junyi’s heart trembled. He quickly expressed, "Master, I wish to follow you forever."

Su Changfeng smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I’m definitely not going to leave you behind."

Wang Junyi was, after all, a resident of this world and definitely understood it more thoroughly. Bringing him along was akin to having a living encyclopedia, so if Su Changfeng really was to leave, he certainly wouldn’t leave Wang Junyi behind.

"Thank you, Master!" Wang Junyi grinned brightly.

"By the way, isn’t the hunting tournament about to start? Are you going to participate?" Su Changfeng asked.

"Yes, it’s quite a significant event. All cultivators don’t want to miss it. If I can leverage this opportunity to become a Beast Tamer, I can move a step up the ladder," Wang Junyi said.

"Are Beast Tamers really that powerful?" Su Changfeng frowned.

"Well, it’s like this. In the Tianyuan Continent, Beast Tamers are extremely precious. Being able to control Exotic Beasts means Xingluo will pay attention to you. It’s not that Beast Tamers are so powerful; it’s just that they’re so rare, which makes them valuable," Wang Junyi explained.

Su Changfeng nodded and couldn’t help but glance at his own arm. Given that the White Jade Python was an Exotic Beast, he just wasn’t sure what level it was. By such standards, he could probably be called a Beast Tamer now, right?

"So what is the most powerful Exotic Beast here?" Su Changfeng asked with a face full of curiosity.

"Master, this hunting tournament is being held in the Yuanqi Mountain Range, but the exotic beasts over there aren’t particularly powerful, at most a Three-star Beast. If you want to see the most powerful ones, it’s best to go to the Sourceless Forest, located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms. It’s said there are Nine-star Beasts there," Wang Junyi said.

Hearing this, Su Changfeng vaguely understood the classification of Exotic Beasts here, though he was unsure of the power level of the White Jade Python on his arm.

"Which ones are the Nine-star Beasts?" Su Changfeng asked again.

"I’ve heard that someone once tamed a White Jade Python, which belongs to the Nine-star Beasts and is actually the most powerful among them," Wang Junyi explained.

Su Changfeng was stunned. The White Jade Python was a Nine-star Beast? The little guy lying on his arm?

"So, the White Jade Python is the most powerful?" Su Changfeng couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.

"There are legends of Ten-star Beasts, but no one has ever seen them. If you’re interested, you could only look for them in the Sourceless Forest. But since the Three Kingdoms don’t have diplomatic relations, if experts from other nations spot you, it would definitely trigger a great battle. But Master is so extraordinary, it shouldn’t be a problem at all," Wang Junyi said with a smile.

"Alright, I don’t have time to listen to your flattery. Hurry back and find someone," Su Changfeng couldn’t help rolling his eyes.

Wang Junyi quickly nodded and left with the painting.

When Wang Junyi was far off, Su Changfeng rolled up his sleeves. The little guy was still lying on his arm, looking lazy as ever.

"Little guy, are you really that powerful?" Su Changfeng looked at it skeptically, scrutinizing it left and right but still finding nothing extraordinary.

The little creature seemed to understand Su Changfeng’s words, flicking its red tongue as if demonstrating its combat prowess.

Su Changfeng found it amusing and flicked its head lightly, "What? Not convinced?"

The little guy shrank its head dolefully, suddenly motionless.

Su Changfeng rolled down his sleeve and murmured, "The Sourceless Forest... I’ll have to visit it someday. But this Tianyuan Continent is odd — no relations among several nations? In that case, what was the war about back then?"

With questions still whirling in his mind, Su Changfeng returned to the Shen Family, only to run into the outgoing Shen Yunlong.

Upon seeing Su Changfeng, Shen Yunlong’s face was filled with impatience, and he immediately scolded, "Waste, stay put in your room if you’re idle. Don’t wander around, or I’ll be ruthless."

Su Changfeng smiled slightly. This Shen Yunlong was not particularly strong, yet his arrogance was pretty elevated for a minor Second Rank. He’s so impolite.

Su Changfeng didn’t bother with him and was about to leave when Shen Yunlong became even more displeased.

Just as he was preparing to teach this nuisance a lesson, Shen Rushuang appeared.

"Where have you been? Don’t you realize what kind of place this is? Do you think you can come and go at will?" Shen Rushuang couldn’t help but scold.

"If that’s so, I can move out, alright?" Su Changfeng replied.

Shen Rushuang needed Su Changfeng to be her shield. If he left just like that, it would certainly draw criticism. Shen Rushuang naturally did not want to present such an image to the outside world.
