Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 174 Loves his disciple, but also loves to trick him.

Feng Moyun found her brother too embarrassing and pulled him back behind her grandfather. Now, only her grandfather could keep this prodigy in check.

After a short chat with Lin Manman and her fellow disciples, the apprenticeship ceremony officially began.

Meng Wenbin had previously said to keep it simple, so Lin Manman didn't make any preparations, only getting a general idea of ​​the ceremony's procedures.

With so many bigwigs and media attention, she felt a chill run down her spine and could only follow Uncle Shi, trying her best to complete each step perfectly.

After Shi Bo finished reading his speech, Lin Manman took a cup of tea and respectfully knelt down in front of Meng Wenbin.

"Disciple Lin Manman is honored to become a disciple of Master today. From now on, I will respect Master, never forget Master's kindness, and never disgrace Master's school. Now that I have entered Master's school, I will never betray it."

"Please have some tea, teacher." Lin Manman respectfully offered the tea.

Meng Wenbin was overjoyed, saying "good" three times in a row, and took the tea from her hand and drank it.

"You are exceptionally talented and diligent in your cultivation. I am very fortunate to have you as my disciple."

"I do not ask you to establish a moral compass for heaven and earth or to secure a destiny for the people. I only hope that you can stay true to yourself, never be discouraged or compromised when you are weak, and strive to improve yourself when you are strong, without being arrogant or irritable, and without bullying the weak."

"Yes, disciple will follow your teachings."

"Our sect has only three rules: First, never betray your country. Second, never betray your nation. Third, never betray your sect."

"Have you remembered this?" Meng Wenbin sat upright in his seat, his expression serious.

He didn't have high expectations for his apprentices. He was happy to let them follow his will and wishes, or he didn't care if they weren't willing.

But his disciples must never become people who betray their country and nation.

Lin Manman sensed the weight of his words and replied respectfully and earnestly, "Yes, disciple will remember it."

Hearing her sincere answer, Meng Wenbin nodded, a smile returning to his face, and reached out to help her up.

As the apprenticeship ceremony concluded, the guests were about to rise and offer their congratulations.

Meng Wenbin raised his hand, gesturing for everyone to sit back down.

"Although I invited everyone here today to witness my little apprentice's entry into the profession, I actually have another important matter to announce today."

"Mingyuan... come here." Meng Wenbin beckoned to Fu Mingyuan.

Fu Mingyuan paused, as if he had thought of something, and hesitated for a moment before stepping forward.

"Although the alliance has not yet announced your election as one of the twelve councilors, it is not legitimate for this document to remain in my possession."

"Today, I'm taking advantage of the opportunity of your junior sister becoming a disciple to pass this on to you, and at the same time, to announce this good news for you. You don't mind, do you?"

Those who understood the implication in his words and knew the inside story were the only four patriarchs who remained seated and motionless.

Everyone else stood up, held their breath, and looked over.

The current head of the Fu family, in particular, couldn't contain his elation.

Those are twelve councilors who possess the highest authority in the alliance, and since the alliance governs thousands of professionals in China, these twelve councilors are essentially the twelve leaders of all professionals in China.

How could he not be excited that someone from the Fu family had come to such an important position? Given the Fu family's current influence, plus Fu Mingyuan's say in the alliance...

Who else in the capital can compare to them?

The guests present each had their own thoughts, but Fu Mingyuan's feelings were somewhat complicated.

When he lost his position as the heir to the Fu family, his teacher told him to strive to become one of the twelve councilors of the alliance.

Now that his long-held goal has been achieved, he will receive the star chart card symbolizing his status as one of the twelve councilors from his teacher. It would be a lie to say he isn't happy and excited.

But he also understood that his teacher did this to prove to him and others that even if he, Fu Mingyuan, did not become the head of the Fu family, he could still stand in a higher position.

Secondly, it was also to use this more impactful news to dilute other people's attention from their junior sister.

His teacher's move wasn't necessarily bad, but he might face a lot of trouble from the Fu family afterwards...

"The teacher's arrangement is naturally the best arrangement, how could Mingyuan mind?" He sighed. Having a teacher who loves his student but also loves to trick him is probably why his mood is so volatile.

With a smile, Meng Wenbin took out the mysterious star map card from his spatial ring and handed it over.

This wasn't the first time Fu Mingyuan had seen this star map card, but he knew more about it than Lin Manman, and naturally, he knew just how important it was.

He took a deep breath and solemnly accepted the star map card from Meng Wenbin's hand.

"Now that you have accepted this star chart card, I have one more requirement for you than just being a disciple. I hope that you will be impartial and work for the development of all professionals in the world, and not be slack or negligent for personal gain."

"Yes, disciple will remember your teachings, teacher." Fu Mingyuan put away the star map card and bowed respectfully to him.

One event after another delighted the invited media, as these were all major news stories, especially the election of new members of parliament by the alliance, which was important news concerning all professionals in China!

They could barely restrain themselves from disturbing them just now, but now that things were over, they swarmed over in a chaotic rush.

"Congratulations, Mr. Fu, on becoming one of the twelve members of the alliance. Could you please share your views and plans for the future of Chinese professionals?"

"Mr. Meng, could you please introduce your new apprentice to us today?"

"Hello Ms. Lin Manman, may we do a short interview with you?"

None of the central figures in the discussion escaped; they were all surrounded and interviewed one by one.

However, Lin Manman was relatively more comfortable, not to mention that everyone's main focus was on Fu Mingyuan, one of the new twelve councilors of the alliance.

If you ask her, Meng Wenbin and Fu Mingyuan will help her smooth things over.

After answering some trivial questions and saying a lot of polite words, I finally managed to get all the reporters and guests to dinner.

At the end of the day, Lin Manman felt like she had shed a layer of skin, both physically and mentally. After finishing, she still had to go to the training ground to visit her spirit pets.

When Lin Manman first arrived in the capital, she felt that Meng Wenbin's villa was too big.

But after putting the spirit pets in the training ground in the forest, they discovered that the place was not only huge, but Meng Wenbin had also built training grounds with different effects in different places, which was simply too extravagant.

However... the training results are really good...

Ah-Dai has been engrossed in the Wind Field training ground lately. Not only has his flight speed improved significantly, but his mastery of wind-type skills has also increased considerably. His basic wind blade skill has even been upgraded to the intermediate giant wind blade skill.

Under the guidance of his boss, Honey Badger successfully upgraded his basic skill Ground Spike to the intermediate skill Stone Forest at the Rocky Mountain Training Ground.

Amber and Rainbow Jade are now spending all their time in the Flame Domain and Water Prison training grounds, while Silver Moon is constantly moving between the Darkness and Ice Realm training grounds.

The remaining few followed their leader around every day, becoming his little followers. Except for Pipi, who still looked as dull as ever, Xiaoqi and Ruyi seemed to have become more clever under the leader's guidance.

Lin Manman was afraid that if she wasn't careful, her eldest son would lead the other children astray, so she had to come and check on them whenever she had free time.
