After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

After Han Zhaobai and Han Zhaoyun left.

Footsteps sounded from upstairs, and Han's mother gracefully descended the staircase to the living room.

"The conflict between branch seven and our lineage dates back to your grandfather's generation. He didn't wish to associate with branch seven, and eventually, the conflict extended to your father's generation."

"What conflict?" asked Han Yuning, curious. She had heard about it before, but since the older generation was reluctant to discuss it, she wasn't very interested and thus never inquired in detail.

"It's said that it was over a dispute for a Beast Taming within the clan. Branch seven used underhanded methods, and they have refused to apologize ever since, resulting in a continuing feud." Han's mother explained.

Now Han Yuning understood—it made sense.

After all, for them as Beast Tamers, a Beast Taming with excellent potential was incredibly precious, especially a Dragon Breed Beast.

"Just ignore that branch seven came to see you this time. Your student is not simple now, and he also has the right side in this matter, so you shouldn't go troubling him at this point in time," Han's mother advised her daughter, knowing that she could be quite emotional sometimes and worried she might make some moves that could put Chen Xing in a difficult position.

"I've met that child Chen Xing. He's a good kid. If you go to him now, he might just change his mind because of what you do," Han's mother said warmly.

Looking at her mother helplessly, Han Yuning thought, Do I really seem that foolish?

...

After leaving Han Yuning's home, Han Zhaobai, along with Han Zhaoyun, headed straight toward the depths of the family compound.

Eventually, they arrived at the entrance of a valley.

At the entrance of the valley was a simple guard post, and the elderly guard recognized Han Zhaobai, "Oh, young master from the third branch, do you have an appointment to see the ancestor?"

Han Zhaobai shook his head, "No, I have... an urgent matter to discuss with the ancestor."

The old guard scrutinized Han Zhaoyun, who was standing behind Han Zhaobai, and said thoughtfully, "The ancestor isn't too busy at this moment. I'll go and announce your visit; please wait here."

The old man went back to the guard post and made a phone call. After a moment, he came out and said, "Come with me."

Han Zhaobai followed the old man into the valley, where various precious flowers were planted all around. In the flowerbeds beside them, several tiny long-tailed lizards scurried past.

Upon seeing Han Zhaobai, one of the long-tailed lizards suddenly stopped, stood upright on its hind legs, and stared unblinkingly at the top of Han Zhaobai's head.

"Goo goo." Another lizard looked back and called out twice.

The long-tailed lizard then bent over and quickly disappeared into the underbrush.

In a villa built at the deepest part of the valley, a venerable old man with white hair and the face of a child was playing chess with another elderly man across from him.

"You've lost," the other old man with drooping white eyebrows and a long beard gently stroked his beard.

"No, no, I was just careless just now. Let's play another round," the old man said dissatisfiedly.

Suddenly, the phone beside them rang. After the elderly man answered it, he didn't mention chess again, but just frowned and sighed continuously.

"Ah, what's all this trouble?" The Han family ancestor rubbed his head, feeling a headache coming on. Everything was going well as he secluded himself in the valley with his Beast Taming, trying to comprehend the laws, when suddenly he heard about the huge trouble his descendants had caused.

"Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes. Without them, I'd enjoy mine. Don't meddle in everything. With so many descendants, can you manage them all?" Chi De said leisurely.

The Han family ancestor was speechless, "Easy for you to say, but have you done that yourself?"

"Anyway, I've warned you. I won't get involved in this matter," Chi De leaned back, "Unless your Beast Taming achieves Ascension right now. But are you willing? You've held back for so many years, just to take a few more steps, and you want to ruin it over this affair?"

"Besides, the other party already has a good relationship with another junior from your family. Why make things so tense over such an issue? Think it over yourself."

The Han family ancestor fell silent.

"You've arrived, junior." Chi De looked toward Han Zhaobai as he walked up the Shi Ban path.

"Ancient Ancestor, Elder Chi." Han Zhaobai recognized the old man beside his family's ancient ancestor, a formidable being no less eminent than his own ancestor.

Both were veteran Beast Tamers of deep heritage, at the transcendent pinnacle.

"I've heard about your sister's situation," the Han Family Patriarch's gaze settled on Han Zhaoyun.

Speaking softly, Han Zhaoyun said, "Ancient Ancestor, this matter was orchestrated by the people of my husband's family, unrelated to my husband himself, please, I implore the Ancient Ancestor to save our family."

The Han Family Patriarch frowned, expressing his disappointment, "Your husband is the head of the Mou Family, and you say it has nothing to do with him? Who would believe that? At this point, you still spout nothing but lies!"

This man valued emotions deeply, as he had been orphaned at a young age and grew up being taken care of by various families. Later he enlisted in the army, and through a series of fortuitous events, he arrived where he is today.

Because of his deep regard for feelings and not having experienced elder care during his upbringing, he made sure to provide generously to his descendants after he grew up.

This was also why the Han Family had an illustrious reputation in Longdu, for everyone knew of an old patriarch in the Han Family who would vigorously defend his juniors.

But while he could stick up for his descendants, he could not accept being played for a fool by them.
Your journey continues on empire

At this juncture, could they not speak a single truth before him?

"I..." Han Zhaoyun's lips quivered.

"Ancient Ancestor, she is my only sister. Our parents passed away early, and it is true my sister's family has erred this time. I'm not asking for clemency for the Mou Family, I'm just begging the Ancient Ancestor to save my sister's life. I am willing to exchange my life for hers!" Han Zhaobai knelt on the ground and kowtowed fervently.

"Enough, as for this matter, I..." The Han Family Patriarch was about to speak when suddenly a colorful lizard darted out from the grass beside them.

The colorful lizard stood up and started squeaking loudly at the Han Family Patriarch.

Various expressions crossed the Han Family Patriarch's face, each more vivid than the last, before he finally closed his eyes in agony.

"I will not be involved in this matter, you may leave."

Having spoken, the Han Family Patriarch seemed to have succumbed to much more weariness.

He waved feeble dismissal.

As the Han siblings tried to speak, they heard the powerless voice of the Han Family Patriarch, "The guests are dismissed."

After the siblings left, Chi De looked curiously at the Han Family Patriarch, "Your personality is such that you wouldn't get involved? Strange, did your lucky star predict something?"

Chi De was quite familiar with the Han Family Patriarch's creature that resembled a lizard after many years of friendship.

The Han Family Patriarch referred to it as the lucky star because it could foretell fortune and misfortune, an omen of life and death.

It had suddenly intruded and changed the Han Family Patriarch's mind.

"Hmm... The lucky star said it saw great peril hovering over my head. You should know what great peril signifies."

Chi De was somewhat astonished; he knew the prowess of his old friend well.

There were levels within the realm of Transcendence, and without a doubt, his friend was at the top tier.

An understanding of no laws placed one at the bottom, mastery over one law was a middle ranking, while comprehension of multiple laws secured a place at the top.

In truly desperate times, one could even make a temporary leap to Ascension, though that would mean squandering years of effort and cultivation.

That such strength was still foreseen as great peril.

Perhaps what that young man had revealed thus far was not everything.
