Chapter 21: Business Trip
“Yes!” Elder Sun suddenly slapped his thigh, startling Deacon Li, who was standing nearby and smugly rejoicing over his narrow escape from death.
Elder Sun did not care about other people’s opinions. At that moment, inspiration struck him, and he remembered the sense of frustration he had felt when attending the Beast Taming Sect’s “Myriad Beasts Reverence Sect Conference.”
On the surface, that exchange conference had been meant to let the various families share beast-taming experience and promote research into the nurturing of spirit beasts, but in reality, open and hidden comparison and competition had been unavoidable.
Especially when each family had to display the tacit understanding between their outstanding young disciples and their spirit beasts, or discuss difficult problems, it had practically been a large-scale show-off session.
“Oh my, my disciple isn’t good at anything except this, but he has a special affinity with the Purple Lightning Lion. At such a young age, he can already command the Purple Lightning Lion to release lightning!”

“...”
Whenever he heard such words, Elder Sun felt a wave of bitterness in his heart.
He had many disciples in the Spirit Beast Garden, and some of them were diligent and hardworking; people like Jin Le could also be considered outstanding.
