Another week passed. The beautiful woman's husband Yue Ling still did not return. He only sent a servant back.
According to this servant, the Yue Clan Castle was very lively. Everywhere was decorated with lanterns and colored banners.
The reason was that the Second Branch Yue Ling's youngest son Yue Feng had already contracted a grimoire at the age of six. Now, the Four Great Sects had sent three disciples to receive him. The Eastern Ocean Crystal Palace, the Southern Floating Mist Sect, the Western Lion Pagoda and the Northern Moon Fairy Pavilion. Other than the Fairy Pavilion that only accepted female disciples, the rest had all sent people. The Emperor and Empress had also sent people to congratulate him. All the ministers and generals in the court had gathered. The entire Yue Clan was busy socializing. Even Yue Ling had to stay behind to help.
As for the Spirit Beast Awakening Knowledge Pill, the Yue Clan Elder took it and gave it to Yue Feng as a gift.
"Since Xiao Jiu was chosen by the Eastern, Southern and Western Sects, why didn't Grandfather and Second Uncle send someone to inform us?" The black-clothed Yue Bing's face turned pale after hearing this. Although she was young, she could already understand some of the ways of the world.
"It's okay, it's just a banquet. It's fine if we don't go, as long as our San Er has a bright future." The beautiful woman's eyes were slightly red.
Now, the clan was obviously looking down on the Fourth Branch, but she was not discouraged.
Even when the Spirit Beast Awakening Knowledge Pill that she had spent all her family's assets to buy was snatched away by the Second Branch, she did not feel depressed.
Because she felt that she had already obtained what she wanted the most. That was her San Er successfully contracting a grimoire. As long as the contract was successful, there would be hope in the future. As for whether the Master would invite her to the banquet, she did not care at all. Although this contempt made her feel wronged and sad, she, who was used to being submissive, could accept it and see through it.
"…" Yue Yang was quite surprised. He was very clear what it meant to contract a grimoire at the age of six in the Soaring Dragon Continent.
Using a student as an example, successfully contracting a grimoire was equivalent to a student successfully entering a prestigious university like Harvard or Cambridge. If there were no accidents in the future, they would definitely have a bright future.
In the Soaring Dragon Continent, 99% of the youths could not contract a grimoire. Only a few geniuses had the chance to succeed.
Moreover, among the Grimoire Owners, most of them only managed to contract a Grimoire after the age of fifteen.
For example, it was equivalent to passing the college entrance examination at the age of fifteen. Now that Yue Feng had passed the college entrance examination at the age of six, he was truly an extraordinary child prodigy! No wonder the entire clan would celebrate, the Imperial family would come to congratulate him, and the four sects would welcome him. Of course, Yue Yang was not envious of the other party. He was clear about what he had. He had the Gemini Star Inherent Skill, the secret to levelling up the Golden Crown Thorny Flower Queen, and his Guardian Beast was a phantom that could be summoned for 10 days.
Most importantly, Yue Yang had the [Innate] Skill, the [Innate] Invisible Sword Qi, that only the strongest warriors in the Soaring Dragon Continent had started to train in.
As long as he mastered the first level, he would be able to step into the Innate Realm.
In the Soaring Dragon Continent, if a Level 7 Ranker had the help of a Holy Beast or a Divine Beast, he could also start to step into the Innate Realm. However, only Rankers who were Level 8 and above would dare to say that they were a true Innate Ranker. In that case, how many Innate Experts were there in the world? There weren't many old men who had the strength to look down on the common people in the world. Even if there were, they would be old men who were hundreds of years old …
For example, the genius Yue Feng who had passed the high school entrance exam at the age of 6, the Imperial family would come to congratulate him, and the four sects would welcome him. On the other hand, Yue Yang didn't even take the high school entrance exam, nor did he study at Harvard or Cambridge. He graduated straight away and started to study for a Master's degree.
"Fourth Madam, Fourth Master's luck isn't too good. When he was drawing beasts for Third Young Master, he only got these." The old servant who came to pass on the message was a little uneasy. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, then used his trembling hands to offer the brocade box.
"Quintet Puppet Mice? This, this is too much. These Quintet Puppet Mice are all Level 1 special-type beasts. Other than scouting, they have no other use. Furthermore, he contracted five of them at once, wasting the pages of the grimoire. There are countless high quality puppet beasts in the clan. There are Level 3 Bronze-ranked Battle Wolves and Level 4 Silver-ranked Battle Tigers. Why did Grandpa give us these? Is this the doing of First Uncle and Second Uncle? Why should Third Brother accept this? " The black-clothed Yue Bing took the box and opened it to take a look. Her face became even paler and her voice became sharper, extremely angry.
"Bing Er, don't be rude to your elders." The beautiful woman reprimanded her lightly.
She then turned to Yue Yang and said tactfully, "San-er, if this beast is not good, we can just not contract it. Don't complain too much in your heart. As a descendant of the Yue Clan, no matter what the elders bestow, it is a blessing. Accumulate good fortune and virtue, don't rely on external forces, and constantly strive to become stronger. This is our duty as a human."
The black-clothed Yue Bing lowered her head. She still felt that her clansmen were not being fair to her family, and felt wronged.
When Yue Yang received the brocade box, a strange message suddenly flashed through his mind, giving him a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
The Quintet Puppet Mice were created by Ghost Genius Yue Gong, one of the Three Heroes of the Revival of the Yue Clan 600 years ago. Because the Yue Clan had lost more than half of their Spear Techniques, the Yue Clan became weaker with each generation. As the clan gradually declined, three powerful people were born and revived the Yue Clan. The younger generation called them the Three Heroes of the Revival. It was them who turned the tides and rebuilt the Yue Clan into one of the Four Great Clans. Among them, the Ghost Genius Yue Gong's special puppet-type beast was the most famous. The outside world might not know about the Yue Clan's Spear Techniques, the 'Earth Bear' strengthening-type beast that was passed down from generation to generation, or the 'Wu Mu Art of War' that only the Clan Masters could learn, but they would definitely know that the Yue Clan was the grandmaster of puppet-type beasts.
Whether it was mercenaries, warriors, blacksmiths, merchants or even the low-ranking soldiers in the army, they all respected this Ghost Genius Yue Gong.
This was because this Ghost Genius Yue Gong had invented hundreds of puppet-type beasts, allowing them to choose and use them easily. Whether it was in life or in battle, it was extremely convenient.
This Ghost Genius Yue Gong was respected by the royal family as one of the two saints worshipped in the 'Superlative Workmanship' Palace. The common people even regarded him as the Grandmaster of Puppet Machines.
Such an outstanding person had actually invented a type of useless Quintet Puppet Mouse, causing the clansmen to be puzzled.
Unfortunately, this Ghost Genius had a weak and sickly body, and had overworked himself. At a young age, he died of exhaustion in the Puppet Palace. He did not have the time to sort out one of his life's wishes, the 'Puppet Grimoire'. In the end, he also left behind many strange puppet-type beasts that the clansmen could not understand. For example, the most puzzling one was the useless Quintet Puppet Mouse that the Ghost Genius Yue Gong loved so much when he was alive.
The later generations of the clansmen did not dare to speculate too much. They only dared to think that this was one of the first works that the Ghost Genius Yue Gong had created before he became famous. He had a special feeling for it, that was why he loved it so much.
In the past six hundred years, no one was willing to accept this useless Quintet Puppet Mouse that took up too much of the summoning space in the grimoire.
Until today, it was unfortunately picked by Fourth Uncle Yue Ling and fell into Yue Yang's hands.
"I don't dare to reject the gift from my elders! I will accept this Quintet Puppet Mouse beast. Thank you, Fourth Uncle, and thank you, Fourth Mother, for your teachings! " Yue Yang pretended to be a good child. If he did not use his [Divine Vision] to find out that this Quintet Puppet Mouse was a treasure, it would be strange if he was willing to accept it. Now that he could easily pick up this treasure that he yearned for, of course he was secretly happy.
"May the ancestors bless my San-er with a bright future." Seeing that Yue Yang was so obedient, the beautiful woman was really happy in her heart. She nodded her head and said 'good' repeatedly.
"Third Brother, you must not contract it. On the surface, the Quintet Puppet Mouse is the same beast, but once the contract is successful, there will be five Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth, taking up five summoning spaces. There are only ten pages in the Bronze Grimoire. You have already used the first three pages, and you even have the useless Spitting Thorny Flower. If you use five more pages, you will only have two pages left. Listen to me, Third Brother, this is definitely arranged by someone … They are afraid that you will be able to make a comeback and that our Fourth Branch will fight for power in the future. You must not contract this Quintet Puppet Mouse! "The black-clothed Yue Bing panicked. She pulled Yue Yang's hand, not allowing him to contract this Quintet Puppet Mouse.
