Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 171 The sky quietly collapsed again.

Knowing her boss's extravagant spending habits, Lin Manman lay in bed late at night thinking about how to quickly open the spirit beast shop, otherwise her principal might be eaten up by this money-devouring beast!

Lin Manman was secretly planning to invite Feng Moyun out one day to test her out.

Before she could even make an appointment, the person showed up at her door.

Upon seeing Lin Manman, who was decked out in top-tier level 4 equipment, with high-level protective gear on her head, ears, waist, and hands, exuding an aura of wealth, Feng Moyun almost lost her composure...

"Hehe, what a coincidence, it's not Miss Feng."

Lin Manman chuckled, finding it quite interesting to be able to discern the expression on this aloof young lady's face.

"You...you're the disciple Elder Meng wants to take on??"

Feng Moyun's voice was a little loud, and she looked around immediately after she finished speaking.

Fortunately, her grandfather had already gone to see Old Master Meng, and now apart from a few younger people of her generation, there were no other important figures in the reception room.

The younger generation who had come with their elders gathered around her upon hearing her words.

"That's her... Judging by her badge, she's a level three Beastmaster, nothing special..."

"Her talent is alright... Whose daughter is she?"

"No, I heard that they're not from the capital, but from Nanjing."

"Huh? Isn't Jinling a rural area? I heard that smart bracelets have only become common there a few years ago..."

Hearing the whispers of the young masters and ladies of the capital, Lin Manman simply rolled her eyes calmly.

Therefore, no matter where a person is or what social class they live in, some of their inherent natures are hard to change.

For example, these young masters and ladies in front of us, when they are jealous, making sarcastic remarks, and thinking that they are criticizing others, are not much different from everyone else.

Feng Moyun pursed her lips, pulled Lin Manman and walked towards the door. She felt a little guilty because she had been too loud and Lin Manman had been surrounded and talked about.

"Don't listen to what they say. Master Meng accepted you as his disciple because he values ​​your talent. You have to believe in yourself."

Lin Manman blinked her eyes.

She was absolutely right; this seemingly aloof and unapproachable young lady truly had a warm heart beneath her cold exterior.

"I know they're jealous of me, but why should I care about their sour grapes?"

Her words were so blunt and direct that Feng Moyun was speechless.

After all, she had wanted to become Master Meng's disciple back then, but was rejected, although she wasn't jealous...

"You'd better be more careful with your words when you're in the capital."

"I didn't say it in public. What's wrong with talking to friends?" Lin Manman was certain that Feng Moyun wasn't the type to gossip behind people's backs.

"Are we... friends?"

Feng Moyun was taken aback when she heard that Lin Manman considered her a friend.

Given her status, it's rare to encounter someone as outgoing as Lin Manman.

"Look, we met in the junior professional tournament and even had the honor of being opponents. What does 'no fight, no friendship' mean? Isn't this a perfect example of 'no fight, no friendship'?"

"And you even brought your little black dog to meet my Hongyu on a blind date..."

"Alright, alright, I know. If you say we're friends, then we're friends." Hearing Lin Manman mention that misunderstanding, Feng Moyun's face flushed red, and she quickly interrupted her.

"Haha, what's there to be embarrassed about? I admit that my Hongyu is quite beautiful. Your Xiaohei has good taste, but he's not very smart and can't even tell the difference between genders."

Seeing Feng Moyun's embarrassed expression, Lin Manman couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Having heard about Feng Moyun from Wu Jingyu, Lin Manman was eagerly anticipating seeing her expression at that moment.

I must say, a cool and aloof beauty blushes in a unique way.

"Let's change the subject. How did you come to know Elder Meng? ...Did you meet him in Jinling?" Feng Moyun quickly changed the subject.

"yes."

This was all thanks to that newly appeared secret realm in Jinling; otherwise, she wouldn't have had the chance to meet them.

"By the way, didn't you go to the secret realm with your family team for training? How did it go?" Mentioning the new secret realm, Lin Manman suddenly remembered that the other person had participated in the exploration of the new secret realm.

"I've learned a lot, but the biggest gain is probably this spirit pet." Feng Moyun said, raising her hand to summon a pure white sphere.

When Lin Manman looked over, the sphere grew arms and legs in her line of sight and turned into the shape of a cute snowman.

She used the system to observe it and found that it was a mid-level legendary snow monster spirit beast. Like Xiao Qi, it was an elemental life-type spirit beast with a talent that could change the weather in a certain area.

"It's really good."

However, she has been spending more time at the Spirit Beast Research Institute lately, and seeing the spirit beasts has made her scalp tingle, especially since there is a boss who is trying to correct her bad habit of being greedy for hunting.

Feng Moyun looked at the badge of a Level 3 Beast Tamer on her chest and her expression was somewhat complicated.

When she and her family's expedition team went to explore a new secret realm, they obtained an extremely rare spiritual fruit that could increase soul power. With the help of the feedback from the level 3 snow monster they contracted, they were able to advance to level 3.

Unexpectedly, Lin Manman also made a breakthrough in such a short time after the competition.

"And you? It seems your experiences are no less than mine..."

Her words reminded Lin Manman of those stimulating scenes she didn't want to recall. "This... it's a long story, let's not talk about it."

Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Feng Moyun didn't press further and instead brought up the matter of Meng Wenbin taking on apprentices.

"In fact, quite a few families in the capital want their children to become disciples of Elder Meng." Of course, some want to win over Meng Wenbin, while others want to rely on Elder Meng's reputation to increase their own power in the capital.

"I never imagined he would end up taking you as his apprentice..."

Feng Moyun originally wanted to say that it would be disrespectful to have someone like Lin Manman, who had no background, as an apprentice, but she felt that saying it would be a bit disrespectful to Lin Manman, so she stopped herself from saying it.

"Perhaps he simply doesn't want to get involved in the power struggles in the capital, which is why he wants to take on a disciple from a simple family?"

Lin Manman knew that after today, many people would compare her family background to others, but she didn't mind.

Meng Wenbin told her not to deliberately hide her talent, because she would eventually use her abilities to shut others up.

"Even if he doesn't want to, it's hard for him to extricate himself from it. Although Elder Meng has stepped down from his position as one of the twelve councilors of the Alliance, the Alliance has retained this seat for many years and has not selected anyone else."

"Moreover, one of the twelve star charts representing the twelve councilors is still in Elder Meng's hands. It is clear that the alliance still tacitly acknowledges that Elder Meng holds the identity of one of the twelve councilors of the alliance."

"The Twelve Constellations? What... the Twelve Constellations?" Upon hearing this unexpected information, something flashed through Lin Manman's mind, and she had a bad feeling.

Feng Moyun was taken aback, not expecting her to focus on this.

"The origin of the Twelve Star Chart is a mystery, and its specific function has never been disclosed. It is only said that the combination of the twelve star charts can activate the defensive array of the entire capital."

"It has always been kept in the hands of the twelve most important members of the alliance, and is therefore regarded as proof of the identity of the twelve members of the alliance."

"Although Elder Meng was officially removed from the twelve councilors by the Alliance, the Alliance did not take back his Star Chart Card."

"Therefore, many people speculate that Elder Meng may pass this star map card to his apprentice, making the apprentice one of the new twelve councilors of the alliance."

"This is one of the reasons why everyone is so eager to become a disciple of Master Meng..."

"But as long as this star map remains in his hands, the powers in the capital will inevitably keep a close eye on him."

After all, he was one of the twelve councilors who could decide the future of Chinese professionals. Which power would not want to use this opportunity to increase its family's influence among professionals?

After hearing Feng Moyun's words, Lin Manman's world seemed to collapse...

Thank you so much, Yu Yu Linglong, for the monthly pass!
