Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

The arrival of Su Yuzhen caused quite a discussion among the Zhou Family Cultivators initially, but afterwards, not many paid attention to the matter.

It was mainly because the sudden inclusion of Lin Wan’er had served as a sort of vaccination, making the ordinary Zhou Family Cultivators feel that such an occurrence was not terribly out of the ordinary.

Secondly, Su Yuzhen seldom went out, so very few Zhou Family Cultivators had the opportunity to see her.

Even the number of Zhou Family Cultivators who knew she was living in Zhou Chun’s courtyard was limited.

And those Zhou Family Cultivators who were in the know were very sensible and did not gossip idly.

On the contrary, Zhou Chun himself started to feel a bit uncomfortable in his daily life.

Whenever he returned to his courtyard to cultivate or rest, he could sense the presence of Su Yuzhen in the guest room, sometimes even encountering her in the yard.

While Zhou Chun did not deliberately avoid her, he was also not quick to adapt.

The real verbal communication between the two was actually very limited.

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, another two months went by.

One day, Lin Wan’er, who had been responsible for training the Zhou Family servants and deadly fighters, suddenly came to find Zhou Chun with a face full of joy, saying that she had finally made contact with her foster mother, Lin Hongyu. Find exclusive stories on NovelBin.Côm

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun’s face also instantly revealed a joyful smile.

He immediately took Lin Wan’er to meet Zhou Mingde and handed over Lin Hongyu’s personal letter for Zhou Mingde to examine.

Not long after, Zhou Mingde gave a few instructions and left Zhou Family Mountain alone.

After leaving Zhou Family Mountain, Zhou Mingde discreetly hid his cultivation level and headed south, covering more than five hundred li before stopping in a mountain ridge.

Then, he released his Divine Sense to scout and soon discovered the presence of Lin Hongyu.

"Congratulations, Taoist Friend Lin, on fully recovering from your injuries and returning with your mission accomplished."

In a valley, Zhou Mingde looked at the healthy red-robed beauty in front of him and extended his congratulations with a smiling face.

Facing his congratulations, Lin Hongyu replied with a calm demeanor, "Taoist Friend Zhou is too polite. The purpose of inviting you here today is, I assume, already known to you."

"During the battle years ago, the aid you and the Zhou Family given to me was deeply appreciated. I am truly grateful, and the recompense we agreed upon for you and the Zhou Family is all here; please check it."

As she spoke, she took off a Storage Pouch from her waist and tossed it to Zhou Mingde. @@novelbin@@

To her surprise, after Zhou Mingde received the Storage Pouch, he was not in a hurry to check its contents.

Instead, he looked at her seriously and asked, "Now that the Dragon Transformation Sect has become an enemy rather than a friend to you, Taoist Friend Lin, where do you plan to settle down next?"

"Oh, why does Taoist Friend Zhou ask this?"

Lin Hongyu’s gaze flickered, as if she had thought of something.

Seeing her reaction, Zhou Mingde slowly said, "True Person does not speak falsely before another. You should understand what I mean, Taoist Friend Lin. If you are indeed interested, I will certainly make every effort to make it happen!"

Hearing his words, Lin Hongyu fell silent.

Her eyes flickered subtly and her gaze drifted, reflecting her contemplative state.

After a good while, her gaze returned calmly to Zhou Mingde and she said, "Even if there is a desire, how is that relevant? If I am not mistaken, Taoist Friend Zhou, you were strongly opposed to this matter in the past."

Zhou Mingde, upon hearing this, showed not the slightest bit of embarrassment and earnestly responded, "The past is the past, now is now."

"Previously, you were a protector of the Dragon Transformation Sect. If our Zhou Family dared to form a marital alliance with you then, it would have meant instant extermination for my entire family."

"Now, the Dragon Transformation Sect has been reduced to lingering in its main temple, barely alive, and you, Taoist Friend Lin, have freed yourself from that cage and gained your liberty. Naturally, our Zhou Family does not need to worry about those things anymore."

"Moreover, Daoyi has now successfully opened his Purple Mansion, and with the accompaniment of his Green Flood Dragon Spirit Pet, his cultivation and strength are even more matched to you, Taoist Friend Lin."

Although Lin Hongyu was already aware of his intentions, actually hearing him speak openly about it still caused her emotions to stir.

After pacing within a small area, visibly tense, she then looked at Zhou Mingde and said, "I’m afraid you may not have the final say in this matter, Taoist Friend Zhou. That man has a heart of iron. He was so heartless even when he was merely at the Foundation Establishment level; by now, he probably looks down on me, a remnant of the Dragon Transformation Sect, even more!"

By the end, her face couldn’t help but show a self-mocking smile.

Zhou Mingde, upon seeing this, quickly waved his hand and said, "Taoist Friend Lin, you are misunderstanding Daoyi. When he was heartless towards you previously, part of it was out of indignation over having been secretly exploited by you for cultivation purposes, which he found deeply humiliating, leading him to resent you."

"Secondly, at that time, he was the Clan Leader of the Zhou Family, weighed down by responsibilities that made it impossible for him to get involved with you without endangering his family."

"Thirdly, his Cultivation Level was significantly lower than yours, and given his proud nature, how could he possibly accept the idea of taking you as his Dao companion."

Continuing, he turned the conversation, "But things are different now. Daoyi has now successfully opened his Purple Mansion, and you have severed your ties with the Dragon Transformation Sect. The most significant obstacle to you two becoming Dao companions no longer exists."

"Besides, as the old saying goes, ’A couple for a day is a couple for a hundred days.’ You and Daoyi truly experienced Dual Cultivation together; he must have some feelings for you in his heart. It’s just that he could never dare show it before."
