Chapter 280: The Rong Family's Decision! Entering the Heavenly Mountain!
Chapter 280: The Rong Family's Decision! Entering the Heavenly Mountain!
Su Anyong remained silent, casting a resentful glance at his son for the first time.
He now understood why his second uncle had shown no concern about this matter earlier.
As a member of the Legion, he was well aware of the significance of the Dragon Emblem.
However, the crucial question was, how did this little brat get his hands on it?
He had diligently served in the Legion for many years, but the most he could ever hope for was the rewards within the Legion.
The Dragon Emblem was a symbol bestowed upon those who made outstanding contributions to the entire Dragon Country.
In most cases, only after reaching the rank of Breeding Master and attaining the Holy Spirit rank could one be eligible to receive this emblem as an honorary symbol.
Su Anyong naturally wouldn't suspect that his son had forged such an emblem, as it made no sense.
Moreover, this emblem was something that most people wouldn't even know about.
After a long silence, Su Anyong finally took a deep breath and asked, "You've been promoted to Breeding Master? The Breeder Association has promoted you, a young breeder, to Breeding Master? Isn't that against the rules?"
Su Ping nodded and shook his head, "Not exactly. It's said to be a Quasi-Master. I still don't meet the requirements."
"Then why..."
Su Anyong looked at the dazzling emblem, his meaning clear without words.
Could this emblem be granted without meeting the requirements? How could that be possible?
Su Ping smiled, but didn't explain, "I'll ask you now, can I take the Five Saints Egg? Can you get it?"
Su Anyong opened his mouth, but the words he had intended to say were swallowed back, and he could only say, "You're amazing! Damn, you're really something else."
"Hahaha! That's settled then!"
For Su Anyong, this response was the highest praise he could give to Su Ping.
Finally, he had 'won' a round against this stubborn old man, and Su Ping was very satisfied.
"Alright, I'm going to find Cold Lord. I need his help with something."
Watching Su Ping rush out the door, Su Anyong couldn't help but grit his teeth in frustration, as he never found out from Su Ping where the Dragon Emblem came from.
On the other side.
In the study of the Rong family mansion.
Two figures sat facing each other.
In front of them was a large chessboard.
The two individuals were none other than Su Ping's cheap grandfather, who was also the true head of the Rong family, and Su Ping's cheap uncle.
"Dad, are you really going to give one of the Five Saints Eggs to Su Ping, an outsider?"
The handsome Rong Xia, wearing glasses, asked with a frown.
Rong Bao glanced at his son and said calmly, "Be careful with your words. What do you mean by Su Ping, an outsider? He's your nephew, your own flesh and blood!"
After a pause, Rong Bao removed a chess piece and said, "I know. For this generation's Five Saints Egg, you wanted one for Mang'er, right? Since you want it, go into the Five Saints Mystic Realm and get it. It won't affect anything for Su Ping."
Rong Xia was slightly startled, "But Dad, according to the Rong family rules, only one can be chosen from the same lineage..."
Rong Bao said calmly, "Chun'er is married and no longer part of the Rong family. How can Su Ping, as her son, be considered? Besides, if anyone else has the ability to earn the recognition and retrieve an egg from the Five Saints Mystic Realm, no one will say anything! If the family needs to distribute it, let whoever is dissatisfied come and talk to me!"
"But inside the Five Saints Mystic Realm..."
Rong Xia's heart, which had been weighed down by a heavy stone, finally relaxed a little, but he still furrowed his brows.
He had absolute confidence in his father's control over the family.
However, the situation with the Five Saints Egg was not something that could be decided by a single word from the old man.
The Five Saints Egg required a suitable person to enter the Five Saints Mystic Realm and receive the recognition of the corresponding Five Saints Soul to obtain it.
Indeed, the Rong family's bestowal of the Five Saints Egg usually followed two steps.
The first step, as Rong Bao mentioned, was that all generations of Rong family beastmasters would enter the realm. As long as they could gain the recognition of the Five Saints in the Mystic Realm, they would be directly granted the Five Saints Egg as a young Rong family member. This was a rare occurrence.
The reason was simple. After the Rong family discovered the Five Saints Mystic Realm, they had spent hundreds of years developing it. During this time, only a handful of people could directly receive the Five Saints Egg upon earning the recognition of the Five Saints Soul.
Once the Five Saints' souls acknowledge you, the family will not hold back, regardless of whether you are a branch or a direct descendant, and regardless of how humble your background is. They will focus on nurturing you.
Under these circumstances, many Rong family members who are not valued by the family and have low status hope to rise to the occasion.
However, the appearance of the Five Saints' eggs is too infrequent.
It takes a long time, sometimes even a hundred years, and even at its shortest, it still requires several decades. Not every generation of Rong family members can catch this opportunity.
The second step is the normal procedure.
After the young generation of the clan has tried,
The clan's old ancestor will take out the remaining Five Saints' eggs and hand them over to the most outstanding young member of the clan.
According to the Rong family's rules, three generations form a lineage, and within a lineage, only one member can be granted two Five Saints' eggs at the same time, unless the recipient is truly exceptional. Once two eggs are granted, the lineage will be divided.
Large families have many rules, and many troubles.
This is also the main reason why Rong Xia reacted the way he did when he heard that his father wanted to bestow a Five Saints' egg upon that unfamiliar nephew.
And now, it is still the same.
It has to be said that the father's request has somewhat broken the rules.
After all, Rong Chun, his sister, is already dead, and Su Ping is not a member of the Rong family. This matter...
However, it is clear that Rong Xia glanced at his father, whose expression was calm, indicating that the father had made up his mind.
Rong Bao also looked at his son, and after so many years of training, he was indeed impressive, but he was still one-sided in his thinking.
More importantly, without the Five Saints' eggs, it would be difficult for this lineage to continue leading the family in the future.
"Don't judge things by their appearance, and don't always focus on the Rong family. Su Ping is extraordinary! The Rong family has a blood connection with An Yong, and the blood is thicker than water. The more they interact in the future, the more benefits there may be for the Rong family.
Of course, when young people interact, don't focus too much on interests. If you do so, your words and actions will seem too utilitarian. Just remember one thing: this is your sister Rong Chun's son, and he is her only son. He is your nephew."
Rong Xia fell silent, and this time, he had no objections.
His eldest son, Su Ping's cousin, Rong Mang, is considered outstanding among the younger generation of the Rong family. Although his beastmaster skills are decent, his breeding skills are not as good.
As for Su Ping?
Even if he is not a member of the Rong family, he should still be treated well. He is the first-place winner of the breeding competition, and at a young age, he has already cultivated supergrade skills. He is the grandson of Ghost Saint, and Mulberry Saint highly regards him. Additionally, he has deep roots in the Jianghai region.
This young nephew possesses power that is inherently stronger than his uncle, let alone his peers.
Indeed, the father's decision is reasonable.
"Yes, thank you, Father, for your guidance. I understand!"
"Yes, by the way, Father, when will the Five Saints' Mystic Realm be opened?"
"The Snake Ancestor estimates that it will take about ten more days for this generation's Five Saints' eggs to complete their gestation. I will find an opportunity to inform Su Ping and let him stay a few more days."
"I understand!"
...
The next morning.
Before dawn,
Su Anyong and Cold Lord left the Rong family early.
The correct version is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar first release of this novel.
It is evident that it was not easy for the Northern Frontier Legion to take a day off from their border duties to accompany Su Ping to the Rong family.
However, as the two of them left, there was still one person remaining at the Rong family.
It was not only Su Ping but also Xing Chen.
He is Cold Lord's personal secretary, driver, assistant, and more.
Yes, after Su Anyong and Cold Lord finished their conversation, Su Ping found Cold Lord again to discuss this matter.
This was the condition that Cold Lord agreed to earlier during their conversation in the car.
Cold Lord did not mind, and even if Su Ping did not ask, Cold Lord would still have Xing Chen accompany Su Ping during this period.
The previous attack on Su Ping was still a concern for Cold Lord.
This is still within his territory.
Although Uncle Rong had just finished speaking, there was no doubt that he held absolute control over the Rong Family.
However, there might be some reckless individuals who are blinded by greed.
In any situation, one must always be prepared for the unexpected.
With Xing Chen staying here, Cold Lord felt at ease, and so did Su Ping.
Indeed, for Su Ping, having Xing Ge by his side was naturally to prepare for entering the Heavenly Mountain the next day.
After all, it was a wildlife park.
In the Northern Frontier, the people were rough and straightforward, and beastmasters mainly focused on practical combat.
Even hunting wild companion beasts within the Heavenly Mountain was allowed.
Indeed, there were some companion beasts of no low rank within the park.
To find the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng, who knew how far one had to travel within the Heavenly Mountain? Without a formidable bodyguard, Su Ping also felt uncertain about his chances.
As for the possibility of exposure? Su Ping thought that compared to the risk of exposure to Cold Lord and his own life, the latter was relatively more important.
The sky brightened, and Su Ping was awakened by a gentle knock on the door.
"Su Ping, are you awake? Grandpa is waiting for you to have breakfast."
Opening the door, he saw a young man who was a year or two older than Su Ping, inheriting Uncle Rong's handsomeness with narrow eyes.
Su Ping remembered that he had seen him at the dinner table yesterday, and he seemed to be his cheap uncle, named Rong Mang, if he remembered correctly.
"Okay, I'll be right there!"
"It's fine. Grandpa said that you just arrived at the Rong Family, and it's normal to not rest well. Grandpa will wait for you."
These words came from Rong Mang.
How could Su Ping continue to delay? Without even having time to wash up, he hurriedly followed Rong Mang to the main hall.
Obviously, for such an ordinary breakfast, there weren't as many people.
Only Grandfather Hon, Aunt Hong, Uncle Rong, and the other two cousins, as well as the silent Xing Chen who had come with Su Ping, were present.
"Xiao Ping is here! Come and sit." Grandfather Hon called out.
Everyone smiled without restraint or awkwardness, and indeed, Su Ping felt like he had returned home."
"Since you've just arrived in Beihan, if you have no plans, where do you want to go sightseeing? Your cousin Rong Mang specially took leave from the Ice Origin Academy to accompany you. If there's anywhere you want to go, you can find him!"
Uncle Rong smiled and said.
Su Ping glanced at Rong Mang and nodded, then said:
"I plan to go to the Heavenly Mountain!"
"The Heavenly Mountain? Do you want to experience wild beastmaster combat, cousin?" Rong Mang chimed in.
Su Ping smiled and said, "It's one aspect. I called Auntie earlier, and my mutated Forest Wolf companion beast was reportedly discovered in the Heavenly Mountain. I'm very interested in the environment that caused its mutation, so I want to search for it and also complete Little Qing's final evolution and breeding theory."
Aunt Hong was startled, remembering the phone call she had received. So that was the case.
Grandfather Hon laughed, "No wonder Xiao Ping could achieve such accomplishments in beastmastering at a young age. Mang, Zhu, and Chan, you should also learn from your cousin in this aspect."
Upon hearing this, the youngest cousin named Rong Chan blinked and asked,
"Cousin, can you teach me how to breed companion beasts? Although I haven't awakened my talent yet, I also want to become an outstanding breeder like Auntie in the future!"
Looking at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl before him, Su Ping also smiled and said, "Sure! But becoming a breeder is very tiring. Chan, you must be prepared!"
"..."
This breakfast was quite harmonious.
The only thing that made Su Ping helpless was that after learning about his plan to go to the Heavenly Mountain, despite having Xing Chen's care, Grandfather Hon insisted on having Rong Mang and some Rong Family guards accompany them.
After all, the Heavenly Mountain was no place for fooling around.
After politely declining twice, Su Ping couldn't refuse further.
Finding the Jade Demon Spring Ginseng was not an easy task. It was estimated that they would have to stay in the Heavenly Mountain for several days, and even if they found it, they would just have to find a way to distract Rong Mang.
On the contrary, if he kept refusing, it would easily arouse suspicion.
After getting ready, that morning, Xing Chen personally drove, leading Su Ping and the Rong Family guards' car, like ancient young masters riding horses, they left the boundaries of Beihan City in a grand manner, heading south and entering the range of the Heavenly Mountain Wildlife Park.
