"Madam Yi, the young Miss has returned home." A servant reported to Xiuying as she flipped through the pages of a book. Then moved on to the next that was handed to her by another servant who had been stacking her finished ones by the way.
"Send her in."
Xiuying stopped and looked at the other servant to her side. "Bring someone from the Jiang Public Library to come to collect the finished stack," She said.
"Yes, Madam," the servant said and walked away just as someone was to come to replace her.
"Greetings, First Sister," Jiang Rong said as she walked in.
Jiang Rong glanced to the side a large number of Books bigger then the stack the was put into her room. Then back at her Elder Sister inhumanly fast read. The servant kept handing her book after book from another pile.
"This one is not necessary" Xiuying stopped and handed the book to the servant "Get rid of it" the servant bowed handed her another book and left the room just as another servant walked in.
"Congratulations, First Ranked Martial Dan, the same as your second sister" Xiuying said lightly without a hint of an impression on her face as she was still reading there the books at a face pace.
"You can do what you want for the rest of the day. However, tomorrow you will go out pick-your personal servant and guards. And then….."
"Madam, Master Shao Min has arrived to see" A servant came in.
She closed her book. "Master Shao Min it the leader of the Azure Beast Tamer guild. He owes our Jiang Clan a lot of favors. So, he is here to present us with a selection of beast before he auctions them off" Xiuying stood. "Third Sister Follow me."
"Ah! Madam Yi" a buff looking man approached as cages were brought to the courtyard. They were full of unique and exquisite high-ranked beast.
"Third sister of the ranked beast here you may choose one," Xiuying said before walked off toward the Buff Shao Min.
"Ah! Your as beautiful as I last saw you, Madam" the man said.
"Master Shao Min, I hope your travels have been pleasant."
"It's always pleasant to see you," he said, "We have may high-ranked beast with us."
"It is unnecessary," Xiuying said before turning to her nephew who came running to her arms with her sister in law and mother-in-law in each other's arms.
"Greetings Younger Sister Yi Qian and Mother Yi Lin"
"Aunt Ying" the little boy called her excitedly.
"Yes, Nephew Hao" Xiuying responded.
"Mother says I can choose a spirit beast today" she rubbed the little boys head
"Yes, you can," she said putting him down "Now go choose."
"Is this really alright, Elder sister?" Yi Qian asked nervously.
"Yes, younger Sister" Xiuying
"Yes, we have promised Madam Yi first picks on our goods, Young lady" Shao Min said.
"Yi Hao is a genius," Yi Lin said as she gently held her daughters' hand "A First rank Martial at the age of four. Xiuying is doing him a favor getting him a beast companion this early.
"Aunty Ying" YI Hao was running to Xiuying with a baby winged tiger in his hands "I want this One."
"Okay," Xiuying said and snapped her finger. A servant came out with a box decent sized box and approached Shao Min, who opened the box full of shiny gold bars.
"Madam Yi…This is a lot more then what the baby tiger is worth."
"For that and whatever my Third sister chooses," Xiuying said
"Even so, this is a lot," he said but his eyes where greedy glued to the gold
Xiuying rolled her eyes. "Would you rather I them back."
"No!" he said, "I mean, please choose another beast."
"Then I'll have the small one" Xiuying looked at the cages for a moment
"Little Sparrow," she said "I'll take him.
'Alright, Madam Yi" Shao Min flick his hand as his boys brought the baby bird to her. The Pour thing shivered in her hands but warmed up to her not long after as it twitted.
"Nephew Hao watch your Aunt Ying closely" Xiuying crouched down so that Yi Hao can watch.
Xiuying held up her finger before the little sparrow and then a small light began to glow. The little Sparrow moved closer to her hand and used its head to touch Xiuying's finger.
"Shui" Xiuying said a then the light flew into the small sparrow. Making it happy and jumping around and it raised its wings to fly around Xiuying before landing happily on her shoulder with a twist."
"Aunty Ying is that how you make a contract with your best companion."
"Yes, do you know how to do it now."
"Yes, you concentrate your Aura into a spot and then give your beast a name. And then they accept" he said. "Ima try now," he said as he copied
Xiuying's actions.
Xiuying looked up as Jiang Rong walked back with a Young Nether Wolf
"First Sister, I have made my choice," Jiang Rong said.
"You're free to go since you already established your contract."
"Thank-you, First Sister," Jiang Rong said as she walked away.
"Wen" Yi Hao said, and the contract with his beast was established.
