The Master of Beasts

Chapter 1013 - 361_2

However, the current situation seems somewhat different from what Yun Yan described.

.......

Three days later, the new Green Light Scorpion farm was completed and named Farm No. 4.

The manager assigned by the Yun Family also arrived, and it was just the right time.

"I am Yun Hu, pleased to meet Mr. Chen!"

Yun Hu was a young boy with a delicate appearance, similar in style to Chen Jiuge, but he liked to squint and smile, giving off the impression of a smiling tiger.

"No need for formalities, just call me Chen Jiuge, I am not worthy of ’Mr.’!" Chen Jiuge shook his head slightly.

"You can’t say that, Mr. Chen used only seven years to elevate the Hundred Beasts Pavilion to this level, truly a work of hard labor and great merit, Master Seven holds considerable appreciation for this!"

"The title of ’Mr.’ is completely deserved!" Yun Hu looked towards the direction of the Inner Circle’s No.1 Street with enthusiasm on his face.

Apparently, this was a loyal family servant, very devoted to the main family, no wonder the Yun Family sent him here.

"You’re too kind, it’s what I should do!"

"Well said, since we have all received the Yun Family’s favor, some effort is entirely necessary!"

"Mr. Chen, your contribution is indeed substantial, the growth of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion is basically your individual achievement, but there are some words I must say!"

Yun Hu’s lips turned downwards, and his eyelids slightly drooped as he said, "Before I came, I reviewed the development intelligence of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion. It can be said that its growth mainly stemmed from the Blood Flood Dragon cultivated by Mr. Chen, which became an instant hit!"

"The subsequent Green Light Scorpion, Ice and Snow Fox, Black Beast, although these fierce beasts brought more profits, they couldn’t enhance the Pavilion’s reputation. Is it possible that Mr. Chen has been negligent?"

"The Yun Family is not a small family; some tiny profits are not important, but reputation is, and I hope Mr. Chen can focus more on ancestral beasts of Fierce Beasts in the future!"

"What did you say?" Leng She heard Yun Hu’s words and showed a trace of anger, was this guy blaming Mr. Chen for being careless in his work?

"I know you, Leng She, one of the people brought back with Miss Yun back then. As a Beast Warrior like you, you could only be the lowest level in the Yun Family’s Guard Team. Becoming a manager of a farm was thanks to Mr. Chen’s light, and your cultivation is probably also with Mr. Chen’s help. I understand your defense of Mr. Chen!"

"But..."

Suddenly, a strong surge of Qi-Blood erupted from Yun Hu, his previously squinting eyes opened at some point, and an almost tangible Qi-Blood pressure bore down on Leng She.

Whatever cultivation technique Yun Hu practiced, the explosive aura in his Qi-Blood was extremely frightening, even Leng She, who had absorbed nearly all of the Poisonous Flood Dragon Bloodline in seven years, found it difficult to stand firm under such a momentum.

"How could it be? I can’t face just an eruption of Qi-Blood?"

As Leng She attempted to muster all his strength to break free, a gentle aura dispelled the violent Qi-Blood.

"Yun Hu, you’re just a manager; in terms of status or ability, you’re far inferior to Mr. Chen, and your contributions to the Hundred Beasts Pavilion are much less than Steward Leng’s; you’re overstepping!"

The soft voice was like a breeze, dispelling the dissatisfaction in everyone’s hearts.

"Sister Shu? What are you doing here?" Yun Hu’s face showed a trace of joy as he quickly stepped forward to Yun Shu.

Apparently, not very fond of others getting too close, Yun Shu took a small step back, frowning slightly: "You’re too close!"

"Ah, sorry, Sister Shu, it’s just that it’s been too long since I last saw you, I got too excited!" At this moment, Yun Hu seemed like a shy and timid little boy, completely unlike his previously imposing demeanor.

Yun Shu glanced at the expressions of the others and asked, "Yun Hu, what did you mean by your earlier words? Was it your own opinion, or...?"

Yun Hu looked around, then showed a bitter smile: "Sister Shu, you know me, although I have some talent, I’m not arrogant."

Turning his head towards Chen Jiuge, Yun Hu pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Chen, don’t mind what I said earlier; I’m just a messenger, responsible for delivering messages!"

"For Sister Shu’s sake, I remind you, if you have any ability, better show your value soon; Miss Yun has been gone too long, and some people above are getting restless!"

"And to the Chief Steward, although you belong to the Yun Family, you’re also Miss Yun’s manager, the top has been quite dissatisfied with your previous secret communications to Master Seven, considering you to be double-minded!"

Yun Congyi’s pupils shrank, and panic surged in his heart: "This, this, this, I’m so innocent, how dare I not obey Master Seven’s orders? I, I...."

Yun Hu showed a face of pity: "Chief Steward, you’re aware of the Yun Family’s rules, and your grandson doesn’t have an easy time in the Yun Family. If it weren’t for your son dying for the Yun Family, the situation could be worse!"

"Mr. Chen, let me reiterate, I have no intention of being your enemy, but I must obey the orders from above, so if there are any offenses, I apologize in advance!"

Chen Jiuge slightly frowned, glanced at Leng She, and nodded, "I understand!"

.......

Yun Hu’s arrival did not make the people in the manor very happy.

That night, Chen Jiuge reminded Leng She once again to try to endure it. Fortunately, Leng She was a Beast Warrior, not a Martial Artist, and had no so-called strong person’s heart, so he could accept it.

Not long after sending off Leng She, Chen Jiuge welcomed an unexpected guest.

"Chief Steward?"

Chen Jiuge looked in surprise at Yun Congyi, who appeared embarrassed as Yun Congyi’s slightly hunched figure flickered into Chen Jiuge’s room.

"Mr. Chen, I came without notice this time because there is something I want to discuss with you!" Yun Congyi’s attitude was very humble, which made Chen Jiuge feel a bit awkward.

"Chief Steward, just say what you need to say, we are old friends after all!"

In seven years, after the encounter at Four Seasons Heaven Building, Chen Jiuge hadn’t left Heavenly Light Manor again, so he had many interactions with Yun Congyi.

Just from the work efficiency and manor management standpoint, Yun Congyi’s ability was undoubted, as for transferring messages to Master Seven as mentioned by Yun Hu, Chen Jiuge could understand, after all as just a servant, could Yun Congyi possibly resist?

"Mr. Chen!"

Yun Congyi sounded somewhat excited, embarrassedly said: "Actually, this time I came hoping you could speak on my behalf in front of Miss in the future!"

"Rest assured, Mr. Chen, the messages Master Seven had me deliver were just about the fierce beasts you cultivated, during these years the beasts you cultivated, Master Seven never interfered, I also did nothing against Miss!"

"Master Seven is ultimately Miss’s direct uncle, maybe having me pass on messages was just out of concern for Miss!"

Chen Jiuge slightly shook his head and said, "Chief Steward, even you don’t believe your own words, right? If Master Seven was truly just concerned about Miss Yun, he wouldn’t have you deliver messages without providing any resources for support, right!"

"For the last three years, there’s been no word from Miss, though the business of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion hasn’t faced any major problems, there are some minor issues!"

"Chief Steward, the Deputy Manager of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion is my person!"

Yun Congyi opened his mouth yet showed a dismal expression: "I thought too much of it!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

Seeing Yun Congyi’s increasingly hunched posture, Chen Jiuge suddenly said, "Stay!"

"Hmm?" Yun Congyi turned his head in some confusion.

"Chief Steward, speaking a few good words for you to the Great Miss isn’t hard, but are you sure mere good words will be enough?"

Chen Jiuge’s eyes glinted as he said, "Rather than relying on empty words, it’s better for us to join forces to strengthen the Hundred Beasts Pavilion, to demonstrate loyalty through actions!"

"Mr. Chen, what great insights do you have?"

"Not great insights, but I do have some minor opinions!"

"Eagerly listening!"

........

While Chen Jiuge and Yun Congyi were talking, Yun Hu was also having a conversation with the Yun Family member who had arranged for him.

"Little Hu, you saw that Chen Jiuge today; how did you feel?"

Yun Hu bowed his head and said, "Master, the time was too short, plus Yun Shu’s intervention, I haven’t had the chance to formally test him."

"Yun Shu, huh? Didn’t expect Yun Yan would place Yun Shu in Heavenly Light Manor, she seems to value the Hundred Beasts Pavilion a lot!"

"Since Yun Shu is there, don’t be too hasty to create a family mess, after all, Yun Yan isn’t dead yet."

Though saying Yun Yan isn’t dead, the tone revealed this person didn’t care about Yun Yan.

"Yes, Master!"

"Hmm, the development of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion was very unexpected but also important, don’t underestimate it!"

"Rest assured, Master, I will complete the task."
