Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand

Lin Chen naturally knew that Lee Zhen was referring to the Dragon Transformation Skill.

He did not deny it and nodded.

Upon hearing this, Lee Zhen immediately said, "We’ve already discussed it."

"Discussed what?"

"How to clean up your mess."

"...."

Lin Chen was somewhat surprised and asked, "What have you all done?"

"Didn’t Chen Ming just ask you to come over tonight?" Lee Zhen said, "Because Qin Shaoshao foresaw that your Dragon Transformation Skill would be exposed, so he consulted with me in advance."

"Chen Ming has always been ambitious, and indeed, with the turmoil in the south this time, he possesses the qualifications of a commander.

"Therefore, many guild leaders jointly petitioned, hoping he could serve as the chairman of the Beast Taming Guild in the south."

"That’s not surprising." Lin Chen didn’t seem surprised.

"Of course, it is," Lee Zhen said. "By then, the largest force in the Southern City will no longer be the Beast Tamer Guild, but the Monster Hunter Guild."

"You want to compete with the Dubhe Pavilion?" Lin Chen frowned.

This was not good news, as the Dubhe Pavilion would not ignore such actions.

By then, it could escalate into a war between North and South.

"Rest assured, we seek not rebellion, but peace," Lee Zhen said. "We mean that the Monster Hunter Guild will manage future peace in the south, while other places will still heed the Dubhe Pavilion."

Lin Chen pondered and asked, "Will the Dubhe Pavilion agree?"

"If Dubhe Pavilion doesn’t agree, then we fight," Lee Zhen said. "This time, the south relies entirely on ourselves to resist the Beast Tide, which already violates the founding promise."

With that, Lee Zhen continued, "Chen Ming hopes that Qin Shaoshao could serve as vice president of the Monster Hunter Guild, but Qin Shaoshao nodded and agreed, with one condition: that her role is nominal, and the real pick for vice president is you."

"Me?"

Lin Chen was taken aback, then deeply moved.

After Lee Zhen finished, he patted Lin Chen on the shoulder, took one last look at Bai Ling, and said, "Take care of her."

Lin Chen nodded, and Lee Zhen then left.

After he left, the Tree Ancestor spoke, "If his plan succeeds, with the Monster Hunter Guild and Spirit Academy protecting you, you should be fine."

Lin Chen said nothing.

Even though he had violated the rules by using the Dragon Transformation Skill, this power was originally given by Zhong Nan, and he was also fighting for the Human Race.

If the Dubhe Pavilion and the National Master’s Institute were to hold him accountable for this, then henceforth, he would have no more goodwill towards the Celestial Capital.

.....

Bai Ling’s home was still decent, although the house was somewhat dilapidated, it had been repaired.

As Bai Ling looked at this house, a hint of emotion appeared in her eyes. She looked at the coffin containing the Calamity-Devouring Beast and said, "Xiu Xiu, we’re home."

With that, she pushed the coffin inside.

After pondering for a moment, she turned around, clasped her hands, and said to Lin Chen and the others, "Lin Chen, Master Brother, Tree Ancestor, thank you for seeing me off along the way."

"This is far enough."

Zhang Jin looked around, a bit worried.

But Lin Chen said, "Alright, then rest well."

With that, he turned and left. At this moment, Zhang Jin asked, "Will anyone harm her?"

"Rest assured, the Tree Ancestor will watch over her," Lin Chen said.

Lin Chen returned to the City Lord’s Mansion, intending to rest, but soon, the Tree Ancestor communicated that Bai Ling had left.

When Lin Chen and Zhang Jin rushed over, they saw Bai Ling had arrived at a small cabin on the outskirts of the city.

This area was deserted for dozens of square kilometers, yet there was a wooden cabin here.

"What is this place?" Zhang Jin asked.

"I don’t know."

Lin Chen shook his head, then remembered something and said, "Bai Ling always trusted an old gentleman who once treated her, could it be..."

Just as Lin Chen finished speaking, they indeed saw Bai Ling kneeling on the ground on one knee, saying, "Bai Ling requests to see the old gentleman."

After a while, the door opened, and sure enough, an elderly man with white hair appeared.

He leaned on a cane and looked at Bai Ling, saying, "Girl, you finally came back."

Bai Ling’s eyes were red, and she was choked with emotion.

"I told you long ago, the cost of growth is enormous." The old man sighed, and then called towards the sky, "Gentlemen, would you like to come in and sit?"

The Tree Ancestor frowned.

It had employed a concealing method, undetectable to ordinary people.

Yet, this old gentleman could see through it at a glance?

But, now being wartime, for the old gentleman to survive in such a place, he must be someone remarkable. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Lin Chen and Zhang Jin exchanged a look and immediately felt the same.

They had always thought that the healer Bai Ling often mentioned was just an ordinary doctor, but now it seemed his strength was beyond what they imagined.

The Tree Ancestor simply ceased hiding and allowed Lin Chen and Zhang Jin to go down.

Lin Chen descended and cupped his hands towards the old gentleman, "Forgive my impromptu visit, we mean no harm, just concerned for Bai Ling..."

"No worries, guests are always welcome, please."

The old man’s voice was robust, gesturing for Lin Chen and Zhang Jin to come inside.

Lin Chen and Zhang Jin exchanged a glance and finally followed him in.

Bai Ling had no intention of blaming them; she was in a vulnerable emotional state but she understood Lin Chen and Zhang Jin were concerned about her.

Once inside, Lin Chen noticed that the place was filled with medicinal herbs.

"It seems the old gentleman is indeed the miraculous healer Bai Ling often mentions," Lin Chen said.

"I wouldn’t go that far,"

The old man recalled, "I met her by chance on the roadside in the past, her parents were taking her everywhere for treatment. I saw at a glance that she was plagued by a misfortune body, so I decided to help save her life."

"You can see that too?" Zhang Jin was surprised.

Fate is a concept.

People like Bai Ling and Gu Ning are those with a Celestial Destiny Body.

Their luck is inherently better than normal people.

Some people are born with continuous misfortune, called a Misfortune Body.

"I might as well tell you," the old gentleman chuckled as he said, "In the past, I’ve also received the true teachings of Gu Wei...."

"Gu Wei?!"

Both were astonished, had they really encountered an expert?

"Hahaha, but I’m not a disciple of Gu Wei, the National Preceptor," the old man spoke without airs and said, "I’m a healer, fond of roaming the mountains. Once, in a place, I accidentally saw traces left by Gu Wei the Physician, and unexpectedly I had some talent, and in three days I comprehended something, gaining slight knowledge."

"At that time, Bai Ling was plagued by serious illness, doomed for sure."

"I used the Pointing Skill to help her cheat death, but such a physique ultimately demands a price."

"This Calamity-Devouring Beast is meant to shield her from misfortune."

Unexpectedly, the old man continued, with Bai Ling kneeling on one knee and saying, "Please, old gentleman, beg for my Spirit Beast!"

"Quickly, stand up..."

The old man stepped forward and helped her up. He looked at Bai Ling and said, "One cannot bring the dead back to life, and the same goes for beasts."

"The world is fair, life for a life, and each person’s life is only one."
