Chapter 40 - The hostility of the old apprentices

Ye Fan took a deep breath, climbed the steps of the Beast Taming Guild building, and entered the hall.

"Master, what can I do for you?"

At the reception desk in the lobby on the first floor of the Beast Taming Guild Building, a pretty girl wearing a beast-taming apprentice uniform immediately came up to her with a smile on her face.

She was wearing a smart and exquisite animal skin blouse. She had a graceful figure. The skin of her exposed thighs was white, and her whole body looked clean and pure.

When she smiled, her eyes suddenly felt bright.

The female apprentice looked at Ye Fan. Although she had a professional smile on her face, her eyes were somewhat disappointed.

This ordinary-looking young man, probably a martial arts student from one of the top ten junior colleges in Luyang Prefecture, wanted to buy a low-level beast egg and practice the art of controlling beasts.

Such martial arts students are very "troublesome". They often pick and choose the cheapest beast egg for ten taels of silver, but it is still too expensive. It is difficult to sell a beast egg for most of the day.

"I'm looking for President Wei, is he there?"

Ye Fan curiously looked inside the building of the Beast Taming Guild, and when he saw the beautiful female apprentice walking towards him, he immediately said.

"Are you looking for President Wei?"

The beautiful female apprentice was taken aback and looked at Ye Fan again.

She was very confused. The shabby-dressed young man in front of her was at least fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was probably not even a beast master apprentice. He probably only knew one of the beast-taming apprentices in the guild, not even the beast-taming master.

How could such an unknown young man have anything to do with respected President Wei Shou? !

When I came to the Beast Taming Guild Building, I didn't want to buy anything or appraise the beast eggs, I just wanted to meet people. In this case, most people come to ask for help through the back door. Every year, many martial arts students want to enter the Beast Taming Guild through such a relationship and become a Beast Taming Apprentice.

But usually they only dare to go to the beast master through the back door.

Humph, this silly boy is so delusional that he actually walked to President Wei through the back door.

I wonder if President Wei is famous for being selfless. Anyone who dares to find President Wei through the back door will definitely be in bad luck.

When the female apprentice thought of this, her pretty face suddenly turned cold, and she said politely but without refusal: "Please come back! The president is busy with business and will not meet guests."

"It was President Wei who invited me here!"

Ye Fan quickly explained.

"Please? Are you kidding me?"

The female apprentice became even more disdainful when she heard this, and snorted: "I have been at the reception desk for a year, and I have never seen President Wei invite anyone here. Even if the general manager of the eight wealthy families came here, he would take the initiative to hand in a name card. Visit. You took the back door and made so many excuses. Leave quickly, I am doing this for your own good, otherwise you will offend the president and you will never set foot in the Beast Taming Guild building again for the rest of your life."

"It's really the president who invited me here, it's not like I wanted to come."

Ye Fan was a little confused and didn't know how to explain it to her.

He suddenly thought of something, took out a dark black secret iron token from his arms, flashed it and said, "Here, this is my token!"

"It's useless to get any token!"

The female apprentice was urging Ye Fan to leave with a face full of impatience. When she saw the secret iron token clearly, she was startled, and the expression on her pretty face changed drastically.

"Uh, a beast master's token? Why do you have a beast master's token?"

This is a secret iron token that only distinguished beast masters are entitled to possess. Every master beast master in Luyang Mansion has one. This is the passport to enter the world of animal control and truly enter this circle.

Don't look at the apprentices of the Beast Taming Guild. They raise their faces arrogantly every day, as if they are very proud.

But in fact, they all understand that they are only standing on the edge of the beast control circle, and there is still one most critical layer that has not been broken before entering this circle.

That means owning this secret iron token!

Most of them will not be able to advance to this critical level, perhaps in ten years, perhaps in twenty or thirty years, or perhaps in their entire lives.

All beast control apprentices dream of having such a token every night. Even if they are exhausted every day, they still persevere desperately.

It was such a beast master token that made her think about it day and night. Now it was in front of her, held by Ye Fan in his hand.

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in front of him is actually a real beast master holding a secret iron token!

Oh my god, there is no such young beast master in the entire Luyang Mansion!

Even Donglai County, which has ten mansions, does not have such a young genius beast master. Perhaps one or two such young talented beast masters can be found in the Imperial Academy of the Canglan Kingdom, which has ten counties.

Could it be that the young beast master in front of me is a descendant of an aristocratic family from the capital of Canglan Kingdom?

The beautiful female student's face was shocked, and her expression when she looked at Ye Fan completely changed. Her words were incoherent and her expression was flustered: "Why do you have this token? You, which family are you? I didn't know your identity just now. I'm really sorry. !"

Oops, that's not right!

She suddenly remembered another thing.

Yesterday, in the Luyang Ten Academy Joint Examination of the Beast Control Department, Ye Fan, a genius from a humble family who was once in a thousand years in Luyang Mansion, encountered difficulties and obstacles from the major wealthy families in Luyang Mansion. He almost missed the first place in the Beast Control Department. .

President Wei Shou was furious and granted Ye Fan the status of a beast master in public.

This was an unprecedented promotion, which shocked the entire Luyang Mansion and spread the news.

Isn't Ye Fan just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy from a poor family?

"Could it be that you are Mark?"

Thinking of this, the female apprentice looked at Ye Fan with her almond-shaped eyes. She covered her pink mouth with her beautiful hands, jumped up in surprise and excitement, and said loudly: "Brother Fan, you must be Brother Xiao Fan, the one I admire the most." Brother Fan!"

"Brother Xiaofan, my name is Han Xiaoxue. Don't you know that many young apprentices in our Beast Taming Guild admire you! There are countless fans in the entire Luyang Mansion, and they all regard you as our idol."

The beautiful female apprentice's blurred eyes revealed a look of incomparable admiration, looking at Mark like a nymphomaniac.

Ye Fan was stunned. This female apprentice's attitude changed too quickly. She didn't take him seriously just now, but suddenly she looked at him like this.

He said awkwardly: "Is President Wei here? I'm looking for him."

 "In the!"

"The president and other beast masters are gathering on the third floor. Brother Xiaofan, I will take you up."

Han Xiaoxue nodded quickly, with great enthusiasm and excitement, leading Ye Fan to the third floor of the Beast Taming Guild building.

Generally, beast control apprentices only have activities on the first and second floors.

Unless the beast master summons them, they will not go above the third floor. That is where only the beast master is qualified to go.

When many beast control apprentices in the building saw Han Xiaoxue leading a strange young man directly to the third floor, they all looked confused and whispered.

Only a handful of newly promoted beast-controlling apprentices who participated in this year's beast-controlling department assessment recognized Ye Fan.

Most of the other old apprentices hardly knew Ye Fan.

"Ye Fan is here!"

"It turns out it's him! He won the top four rankings in the joint examination of the ten colleges and is the youngest beast master in Luyang Mansion!"

Soon, some of the new beast mastering apprentices showed envy.

The martial artist whose reputation has soared recently in Luyang Mansion is undoubtedly Ye Fan.

In just a few days before the joint examination of the ten colleges of Luyang Prefecture, almost everyone in the entire Luyang Prefecture for hundreds of miles knew his name.

"This kid is just lucky that he was spotted by President Wei Shou! Otherwise, where would it be his turn!"

"Hmph, President Wei promoted him to a beast master in an exceptional way. He is ten years ahead of us. I can't envy this kind of luck! We, the young master, have to work hard for ten years before we can hope to be promoted to a real beast master." Beast Tamer."

There are many old apprentices whose eyes are filled with jealousy and hatred.

Some of these old apprentices have been working hard for seven or eight years, and some have even been working hard for more than ten years.

But they are only the fifth and sixth grade beast masters, and they are still far away from becoming real first grade beast masters.

Furthermore, Luyang Mansion's quota of qualifications for the promotion of beast masters every year is extremely limited. Only a ninth-grade beast master apprentice can be promoted to a first-grade beast master.

Ye Fan's unusual promotion, he was not even a first-level beast master apprentice, but directly became a first-level beast master, which made them jealous.

How would they be happy to see Ye Fan reach the sky in one step?

Just as Han Xiaoxue was leading Ye Fan to the third floor, a middle-aged beast master apprentice appeared at the corner of the stairs on the second floor with a deep expression.

"Are you Mark? You don't look very good!"

The middle-aged beast control apprentice indifferently put his hands behind his back and stood in front of Ye Fan and Han Xiaoxue. He looked down at Ye Fan with a cold expression and showed no intention of getting out of the way.

 "Who are you?"

Ye Fan stopped, looked up, and asked strangely.

The unfamiliar middle-aged beast master apprentice in front of him had a slightly sallow complexion and a faint smell of purple incense on his body. He looked about forty or fifty years old, a bit older.

It was the first time that Ye Fan came to this beast control guild. Naturally, he didn't know this person and didn't understand why this person was so hostile to him.

However, there are many people in Luyang Mansion who are inexplicably hostile to him, and Ye Fan has long been used to it.

"Hmph, you don't recognize me?! Then I'll let you get to know me now! I'm Zhao Sanming, a ninth-grade beast master apprentice, a descendant of the Zhao family. You must be familiar with the Zhao family. I work in this beast master guild I have been a beast-taming apprentice for twenty years! Twenty years! Is the oldest, most qualified, and most powerful beast-taming apprentice in this guild! You must be wondering why I stopped you? It's simple. Originally, this year's round When I was promoted to Beast Master, you showed up and took my spot. We can settle family feuds and personal grudges together!"

The middle-aged beast control apprentice stretched out two fingers to emphasize and said in a cold voice.

Ye Fan suddenly knew the identity of this person.

When he first took the martial arts examination, there was a middle-aged martial arts examiner named Zhao Yiming.

This Zhao Sanming, just by his name, should be the younger brother of the examiner Zhao Yiming, and also a child of the wealthy Zhao family.

The Zhao family is the largest family in Luyang Mansion. The family has a great business and has many direct and collateral descendants.

Martial arts department examinee Zhao Feiyang, candidate Zhao Xing, martial arts department examiner Zhao Yiming, and beast control department examiner Zhao Shulu are all members of the Zhao clan.

In Luyang Mansion alone, there are many examiners and instructors who are from the Zhao clan.

It is not unusual for Ye Fan to meet a beast-taming apprentice from the Zhao family in this beast-taming guild.
