Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 144 A Family in Two Difficulties

This really shouldn't be shown to Lin's mother.

If Lin's mother knew that it was this bottle of "diluted spring water of life" that revived her brother, she would definitely be able to guess that she had only recently obtained this thing.

Considering that she has been missing for so long recently, it's easy to guess that she didn't go on some exchange program.

After all, no matter what school you go to, you can't get such a treasure.

Lin Manman briefly recounted the recent events, avoiding the most important points.

"After your accident, Mom was often in a daze, and she would cry in her sleep at night. So I didn't dare to tell her about what happened."

Lin Manman sighed softly. Although her mother had become much more cheerful after she became a professional, she still often saw her mother crying in her sleep.

After hearing this, Lin Ruochen remained silent for a long time.

I felt both pain and guilt.

Even if Lin Manman spoke lightly, the power struggles and intrigues involved were already hellish for ordinary people like them.

After a long silence, Lin Ruochen gave her a proud smile.

"When you go out into the world in the future, you can say that you've been through a lot."

He felt sorry for her dangerous experiences during this time.

But it's clear that the younger sister in front of me has grown into a true professional who can stand on her own.

He couldn't prevent her from experiencing more things and hinder her growth just because he was worried about her safety as a family member.

On the contrary, he should be proud of her becoming strong and should help her fly higher and farther.

Lin Manman blinked, looking at him in disbelief.

In her eyes, her brother used to be stricter with her than her father. If she didn't like staying at home, her brother would probably follow her out every time she went out.

Now he didn't even hit her on the head to tell her not to do such dangerous things in the future.

"What kind of expression is that? Do you like hearing me scold you?" Lin Ruochen smiled helplessly.

"You know what, it feels a bit off if you don't curse it." Lin Manman's features were all scrunched up.

"Keep talking nonsense. Tell me about your apprenticeship. Why did you agree so hastily?" Getting involved with these important figures isn't always a good thing.

Lin Manman scratched her head. "It's because my talent is too special. Without a strong support system, I'm afraid my mother and I won't have a stable life."

And that has proven to be true.

After Fan Chengye's incident, Lin Manman has been feeling fortunate these past two days that she first became Meng Wenbin's student.

Otherwise, even if she were to die from exhaustion in that mountain base after being captured by Fan Chengye, no one would know who she was.

Without Meng Wenbin's specially arranged rescue, given her abilities, she would have been nothing more than cannon fodder on the battlefield during the conflict between the two sides.

Lin Ruochen also sighed. Lin Manman possessed this talent, like a child carrying a golden treasure. Without strong protection, it was indeed easy for her to bring disaster upon herself.

Lin Manman heard her brother sigh and remembered that his situation was probably not much better than hers.

So he hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Don't talk about me, I think you might also need a great mentor."

Lin Ruochen was stunned by these words. Although he had always been known as a genius, compared to his sister's extraordinary talent, he was nothing. What kind of teacher did he need?

"Would you like to try this method and see?" Lin Manman used her bracelet to search online for explanations about Beast Tamer's contract abilities and Spirit Pet Space.

Lin Ruochen gave him a "you're kidding me" look, but seeing Lin Manman's insistence, he closed his eyes and tried to trace the contract pattern by sensing the soul power as described in the video.

After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Manman.

Lin Manman looked at him nervously, "How are you? How do you feel?"

"This...how is this possible?" he muttered in disbelief. "I clearly awakened as a mage."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and a tiny ice needle quickly condensed into an ice cone.

Upon seeing this, the expression on his face became even more confused.

He looked at Lin Manman with some confusion, "What's going on?"

"My talent is useful not only to spirit beasts, but also to some extent to humans. I can roughly tell how much energy a person has by looking at them," Lin Manman once again demonstrated her ability to make up stories on the spot.

"When you first woke up, I observed you carefully. Your soul power is very strong, so I wondered if it was possible that you had also become a Beast Tamer."

"But I've never heard of anyone being able to awaken dual professions." Lin Ruochen frowned deeply, feeling uneasy about this unknown.

"You don't know because the circles we used to live in didn't allow us to access deeper information."

Lin Manman then told Meng Wenbin what he had told her about the information after breaking through to level nine.

With this information, Lin Ruochen roughly understood her current situation.

"Why don't you ask your teacher if he's still accepting apprentices?" Lin Ruochen gave a wry smile.

He had just thought that his sister was a naive and innocent child, and that finding a powerful protector would be a good way out.

Now that he himself is acting strangely, there must be something fishy going on. In order to avoid becoming the target of public criticism, it would be better to find a reliable backer.

"If my teacher really takes you under his wing, will you have to call me 'senior sister' from now on?"

Although the matter was rather serious, Lin Manman couldn't help but laugh out loud at the thought of her own brother becoming her junior brother.

Lin Ruochen had been putting up with her for a long time since she woke up, but now she couldn't take it anymore. She went up to her and flicked her forehead, "Shut up with your nonsense. Are you trying to disturb your eating and sleeping?"

Lin Manman let out a wail, startling Xiao Qi, who had been standing there in a daze for a long time. Xiao Qi immediately flew over to treat her, and Lin Manman was so moved that she picked up Xiao Qi and kissed her passionately.

Joking aside, you really should ask Meng Wenbin about this.

Firstly, even with the system as a cheat, she doesn't know if there are any things to be careful about when cultivating dual professions.

Secondly, her brother's situation is really too special.

If no one is there to protect her, at worst she'll be arrested and taken in by 007. But if no one is there to protect her brother, he might be taken in for an autopsy and thoroughly investigated.

"Never mind, it's too late tonight. You should go back and rest. We can talk about other things tomorrow." Lin Ruochen felt that he had just woken up and received too much information. He needed to think about things on his own.

Lin Manman nodded, then reminded him, "Okay, try to act natural tomorrow, and don't let anything slip."

Lin Ruochen waved his hand at her, indicating that he understood.

Lin Manman happily pocketed Xiao Qi, then summoned Rainbow Jade and disappeared from the spot in front of her own brother.

Lin Ruochen looked thoughtfully at the spot where his sister had left. It seemed that the profession of beast tamer was really quite good.

Suddenly, something seemed to flash through his mind. He patted his head in a pained and bewildered manner, muttering unconsciously, "System...?...What system?"
