She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement

Chapter 1739 Side Story 2: Prime Master Yin Mingjue Pursues His Wife (8)

However, Xu Qingtian insisted on risking the Xu family’s reputation.

“Xu Qingtian, the Xu family members can be mediocre, but they can’t disregard the interests of the Xu family just because they’re mediocre. Because your grandpa doted on you too much when he was alive, you think you can do whatever you want.”

“I’ll say this today.” Xu Langge looked straight into his eldest son’s dark eyes and said, “If you dare to participate in the Beast Tamer Awakening Ceremony, you will no longer be a child of the Xu family.”

Zhou Qingzi bit her lip. She felt that her husband was making too big of a deal. However, she didn’t agree with Xu Qingtian participating in the Beast Tamer Testing Ceremony either.

Whether a child could awaken their beast form was largely related to their parents’ genes.

The couple had participated in the Beast Tamer test back then, but they had both failed.

The Xu family’s children didn’t have the genes to become Beast Tamers.

Xu Qingtian glanced at his mother and saw that although his mother revealed a disapproving expression, she didn’t stand up to refute his father’s words, so Xu Qingtian knew what the couple was thinking. Xu Qingtian turned around and looked at the young man in front of him.

Xu Xingguang didn’t avoid Xu Qingtian’s gaze.

After Xu Xingguang walked towards Xu Qingtian, he looked up at his tall but selfish brother and frowned as he said to Xu Qingtian, “It’s not a bad thing for a person to realize their mediocrity. However, it’s indeed embarrassing to accept one’s mediocrity so easily. If you don’t want to be mediocre forever and want to participate in the Beast Tamer Awakening Test, I support you very much.”

Changing the topic, Xu Xingguang continued, “I don’t think you have the ability to awaken your beast form and become a Beast Tamer. However, I hope you can succeed because you’re my brother. I hope you can improve. The entire Xu family, including our parents and me, looks down on the mediocre you, but I hope you never look down on yourself.”

With that, Xu Xingguang raised the fruit juice in his hand at Xu Qingtian and blessed him, “The sky is high and the sea is wide. You just have to charge in.”

Xu Qingtian stared at his brother in a daze.

For the first time, he realized that his brother was a little different from what he had imagined.

He had never been close to his brother. He had always thought that his brother looked down on him, so he had never taken the initiative to build a good relationship with his brother. Their interests and hobbies were different, and they didn’t have the same topic to talk about. They were just blood-related brothers.

But brothers would always be brothers.

Tonight, Xu Xingguang’s words made Xu Qingtian realize that if a person was always ignored, then the person being ignored was also at fault.

His mistake was being okay with being mediocre.

“Thank you.” After Xu Qingtian took a fruit juice from the bartender’s tray beside him and clinked glasses with Xu Xingguang, he drank the fruit juice. Then, he lowered his eyes to say to Xu Langge, “Don’t worry, I will do as you expect and won’t publicize my relationship with the Xu family.”

With that, Xu Qingtian turned around and left.

Seeing that Xu Qingtian left without hesitation, Xu Langge’s eyes were filled with anger and he scolded, “I underestimated him.” He had always thought that his eldest son was incompetent and unambitious. Unexpectedly, he was indeed incompetent, but he was quite ambitious and stubborn as well.

Zhou Qingzi asked Xu Qingtian, “If Tiantian doesn’t successfully awaken his beast form, are you really going to make him cut ties with the Xu family?” Although Zhou Qingzi favored her youngest son and ignored her eldest son, this didn’t mean that she didn’t have maternal love for her eldest son.

However, she gave Xu Xingguang 90% of her maternal love.

Xu Langge lamented, “How can we really make him cut ties?”

He was just trying to scare Xu Qingtian into retreating.

Unexpectedly, their usually quiet son was actually so stubborn this time.

Jingdu was prosperous and its population had long broken through the tens of millions mark, so there were more than 800,000 youths of suitable age who were going to participate in the test this year. The staff needed to complete the test for all the children in five days, so Jingdu had set up a total of two test stations. One was in People’s Square, and the other was in the newly built Phoenix Square.

Yin Mingjue was assigned to Phoenix Square.

On the first day of the Beast Tamer Awakening Test, Phoenix Square was packed with people. The Phoenix Square was a newly built square in Jingdu to thank the Creator for sacrificing herself to guard the three thousand worlds.

In the sky above the square, there was a phoenix burning in flames held up by a spiritual energy pillar. The phoenix had its wings spread and flew high into the sky. Just a statue gave off an unbearable

sense of pressure.

Xu Qingtian arrived at Phoenix Square with Mr. Dong.

Although this wasn’t his first time coming to Phoenix Square, every time he saw the blazing phoenix above his head, he felt admiration. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

The spiritual pillar that held the phoenix was engraved with the names of heroes in the history of the Holy Spirit Continent.

The first name was Prime Master Yin Mingjue.

As Xu Qingtian stood in front of the Spiritual Energy Pearl and stared blankly at the densely packed names, he asked Mr. Dong, “Mr. Dong, are these people all dead?”

Mr. Dong nodded and said, “That’s right. In order to save the people of the Holy Spirit Continent, Prime Master Yin Mingjue sacrificed himself and his soul dissipated. According to my father, Prime Master Yin Mingjue was once the most respected person on the Holy Spirit Continent. After the God Slaying War ended, the continent encountered a new crisis. In order to save our hometown, all the Grand Masters and Prime Masters sacrificed their Beast Hearts and built the Sky Penetrating Bridge at the same time before sending the Sky Dragon Divine Master, Lord Phoenix, and the others to the Great World.”

“The reason we have our current prosperity is because of the contributions of these predecessors. All these years, the Lords who helped build the Sky Penetrating Bridge have passed away one after another, so there are more and more names on this spiritual energy pillar.”

“Eldest Young Master.” Mr. Dong bowed to the spiritual energy pillar respectfully. Then, he stood up and said in awe, “These names are like a form of inheritance. If you can become a Beast Tamer, you should definitely follow their lead…”

“Of course.”

As the two of them spoke, the test ceremony officially began.

As Xu Qingtian held his number plate, he found his team. Just as he stood up, he saw a handsome man in the uniform of the Divine Realm Academy descend from the sky and stand on the testing platform.

That young man was the man Xu Qingtian had met at the restaurant that night.

He was called…

Sheng Shi’an.

Xu Qingtian clenched his pants and took a deep breath as he muttered, “Damn, he’s really a Supreme Master.”
