Myriad Realms Heaven.

Jiang Family Villa.

A sudden ringing of the phone woke Jiang Ye from his sleep.

Who is it?

Jiang Ye answered the phone in a daze, his tone revealing undisguised impatience and annoyance.

The person on the phone had obviously already guessed that Jiang Ye's attitude would be so bad, and was not surprised or embarrassed by it. Instead, they spoke with a hint of urgency.

"Young Master Jiang, have you received any news about Li Xingchi recently?"

Jiang Ye, who was already angry because his dream had been interrupted, became even more impatient after seeing Xingchi's name.

"What does Stephen Chow have to do with me? He's not my son, why would I need to pry into his background?!"

"Stop bothering me!"

After saying that.

Jiang Ye was getting impatient and wanted to hang up the phone.

But then, the message from the other end of the phone made him stop in his tracks.

Wait a minute!

"Young Master Jiang, this matter might be related to leaving home!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye's impatient expression faded, replaced by a slightly serious one.

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing Jiang Ye's question, the person on the other end of the phone didn't dare to delay and quickly recounted everything they had heard.

"I heard that Li Xingchi discovered a genius in Chunhai City who can raise pet cubs with the bloodline of divine beasts. He has been in Chunhai City for almost half a month because of this!"

"If this genius really exists, and Li Xingchi successfully wins him over, the situation in our Myriad Realms Heaven will be reshuffled once again!"

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Ye's drowsiness vanished completely, replaced by a serious expression.

"Where did you get this information? Is it reliable?"

"Remember that kid from the Wang family? He's on good terms with Li Xingchi. I only found out about this by overhearing his conversation with others. They didn't know I was eavesdropping, so they were probably telling the truth!"

"Okay, I understand!"

After confirming the authenticity of the message, Jiang Ye hung up the phone immediately.

He sat on the edge of the bed, head down, lost in thought.

Over the years since leaving home, relying on their extremely special bloodline, their status in the myriad realms has risen steadily, and they are even tacitly regarded as the strongest family in existence.

The strength of a family is determined by much more than just the level and number of beasts it tames; the most important factors are the family's heritage and foundation.

As a newly emerging family, Li Jia is clearly lacking in this aspect.

but.

If a legendary figure were to emerge who could raise a pet cub with the bloodline of a divine beast, and were recruited into the Li family by Li Xingchi, then the remaining advantages of established families like the Jiang family would cease to exist.

"no!"

Jiang Ye's expression was serious.

"We absolutely cannot let Li Xingchi's plan succeed!"

Not only that.

Jiang Ye, who had finally woken up from his sleep, finally grasped another key point in the message.

"Is it possible to breed pet cubs with the bloodline of divine beasts?"

"If I remember correctly, my family received a similar message some time ago, and we suffered quite a bit at the hands of that person. Even Elder Zhongbei, a god-level beast tamer, was defeated."

"But I remember that person was on the Ling'an Continent, how could he suddenly appear in the Myriad Realms Heaven?"

The more Jiang Ye thought about it, the more doubts he had.

In the end, they had no choice but to give up.

"Let's tell my father about this first and gather all the elders to discuss it together!"

...

Lu Yuan had just finished feeding the pet cubs in the breeding area and was preparing to start a new day of business.

As soon as the store door opened, he saw Stephen Chow's smiling face again.

Good morning, Manager Lu!

Li Xingchi greeted Lu Yuan with a smile, while Lu Yuan simply nodded in return.

"Good morning."

After quickly sweeping away the dust and trash at the entrance, Lu Yuan ignored Li Xingchi, turned around, and went back behind the counter to continue organizing other things that might be needed.

Faced with Lu Yuan's indifferent attitude, Li Xingchi was not annoyed. Instead, he walked into the store with a smile and sat down in his usual spot, as if the pet store was his own home.

See here.

Lu Yuan didn't say much, or even react in any other way.

The main problem is that during this period, Li Xingchi always came to the store on time. No matter what methods he tried, whether it was persuasion or driving him away, Li Xingchi seemed to be staying in the store and just wouldn't leave!

Over time, Lu Yuan stopped caring about him.

Anyway, there's nothing secret in this shop, so let's just let it be!

and.

Even if Li Xingchi was driven away, there are definitely other people watching outside.

In any case, all his actions are being monitored by people from outside the family; Li Xingchi is merely a facade.

In response to this.

Lu Yuan didn't care.

Since Stephen Chow has come to his door, it means that the day when the Jiang family finds him is not far off.

And now what he needs to do is...

All we can do is wait.

Just as Lu Yuan was tidying up his things, Li Xingchi, who had just sat down, suddenly received a phone call. He then glanced at Lu Yuan with a strange expression and whispered a few words into the phone.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Lu Yuan, whose expression remained unchanged.

"Manager Lu, I have to go out for a bit, I'll be right back. Don't let anyone else snatch that spot from me!"

"That's hard to say!" Lu Yuan didn't agree with Li Xingchi, but said meaningfully, "After all, everyone wants such a good position, but who will get it in the end is not up to me to decide!"

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Li Xingchi frowned and was about to say something when the phone in his hand rang again.

The shrill ringing grew louder and louder, as if it were a death knell.

"Mr. Li, you should go and take a look. There might be something really important!"

Lu Yuan lowered his head again to fiddle with the things in his hands, while urging Li Xingchi to leave quickly.

Li Xingchi gave Lu Yuan a deep look, and in the end, he could only leave the pet shop reluctantly.

After Li Xingchi left, Lu Yuan slowly put down what he was holding and looked up at the shop entrance.

"They're a bit slow to arrive!"
