Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future Webnovel - Chapter 317

317 Tianyu Pavilion

Shen Fei nodded to the old man and took out his money pouch to pay for the items.

He passed the money to the old man and said with a faint smile, “Here’s 6,500,000. Please take it.”

“Young man, you’re so straightforward!” The old man grinned, then said, “May I have a word with you before you go?”

“What is it?” Shen Fei looked at the old man suspiciously. He did not know what the other party was up to, but he still followed the old man to the back of the pavilion.

!!
…

Behind the pavilion was a dense bamboo forest with green leaves. The old man brought Shen Fei through the bamboo forest and arrived at a courtyard. There was a towering tree in the courtyard, with many branches and leaves.

“Young man, I have something to discuss with you,” The old man said as he stood next to the towering tree in the middle of the bamboo forest, his voice echoed throughout the courtyard.

Shen Fei’s mind began to work fast. He reached out with his divine sense and covered the entire courtyard. After confirming that there was no danger nearby, he then joined the old man under the tree.

When he stopped under the tree, a cold wind blew at him, causing him to shiver.

“Sir, is there something you need me for?” Shen Fei asked with a frown.

“I can see that you have extraordinary talent. You must be nurtured by some hidden force, right?” the old man asked.

Shen Fei’s brows rose as he asked, “How do you know?”

Shen Fei’s eyes stared at the old man. He felt that the old man was not as kind as he seemed. On the contrary, he was giving off a dangerous feeling.

“What is your purpose? If you don’t explain clearly, then I shall take my leave,” Shen Fei said, turning to leave.

“Hold on!” The old man quickly stopped Shen Fei and coughed. “Ahem, I don’t have any ill intentions. It’s just that I see your extraordinary talent, so I wish to invite you to join Tianyu Pavilion.”

Tianyu Pavilion was an organization of high-tier Beastmasters. Every five years, they would hold a recruitment event, attracting countless young talents to participate. Of course, it was not that simple to join Tianyu Pavilion.

The applicant must first meet their qualification requirement of a certain strength tier. Otherwise, the applicant would not even be worth a glance. Next, the applicant also had to pay a large fee, or else be denied admission into Tianyu Pavilion.

Tianyu Pavilion’s objective was to create opportunities for the majority of low-tier Beastmasters. Shen Fei did not expect the owner of a small stall to be someone from there.

“Then you are an elder of Tianyu Pavilion?” Shen Fei asked, puzzled.

There were a total of five Pavilion Masters in Tianyu Pavilion, and each of them was at the peak of the enlightened realm with unparalleled strength.

The old man nodded. “That’s right. My name is Wu Zhennan. I am the person in charge of this place.”

Shen Fei suddenly understood and cupped his fists. “So you’re Pavilion Master Wu! Forgive me for my rudeness!”

“It’s fine, don’t worry about it,” Wu Zhennan waved his hand and laughed.

“It’s just that I heard that Tianyu Pavilion only recruits Emperor-tier Beastmasters. I haven’t reached that level yet. So, why would you want me to join you?”

Shen Fei’s heart was filled with doubts. He was very eager to obtain more primordial stones and cultivation resources, but if he were to lose his life because of this, it would not be worth it.

Wu Zhennan stroked his beard and laughed again. “I already said that I can see you’re quite talented. Don’t worry, I won’t harm you. As long as you’re willing to join Tianyu Pavilion, we will bear all your expenses today.

Shen Fei shook his head and said, “Senior, I’m sorry. I haven’t considered joining Tianyu Pavilion yet. Please forgive me.”

“Sigh… If that’s the case, then forget it. Perhaps we’ll meet again one day.” Wu Zhennan sighed as he turned around and walked further into the bamboo forest.

“Why?” Shen Fei was confused, and he did not understand what Wu Zhennan meant.

“Those who are fated will meet each other again,” Wu Zhennan said slowly with his hands behind his back, and his figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

Shen Fei touched the tip of his nose and smiled as he shook his head. He then turned around and left.

When he came out, he found that the attic he saw earlier had disappeared, as though there was never one to begin with.

Seeing this, Shen Fei frowned and muttered, “Did I just enter an illusion?”

Shen Fei shook his head and chuckled, “This kind of illusion technique is a bit too clumsy, but it actually made me hallucinate.” He then turned and left.

After leaving Nord Street, Shen Fei was about to return to his residence when suddenly, a series of footsteps came from behind. Shen Fei turned to look.

He saw a man in luxurious clothes, exuding a sharp and pressing aura. He stopped about five meters away from Shen Fei. At his waist hung a long sword. The scabbard shone with golden light, as if it was inlaid with many precious crystals.

“Who are you?” Shen Fei asked.

The man stared at Shen Fei for a long time and suddenly asked, “Are you Shen Fei?”

“I am.” Shen Fei nodded.

The man looked down at Shen Fei and arrogantly said, “I am Wang Xuan.”

Hearing this, Shen Fei smiled. He was wondering who it was, but it turned out to be someone from the Wang family.

“I heard that you’re friends with my cousin Wang Wei. Why don’t you let me reminisce with you on his behalf?” Wang Xuan’s eyes were cold, and his tone carried a threat. “I’ll also teach you a lesson!”

“Oh? Just you?” Shen Fei looked at Wang Xuan with a mocking expression, not bothering to hide his disdain.

Wang Xuan’s face was dark as he gritted his teeth and said, “Just because I am from the Wang family, do you dare to fight me?”

Shen Fei shrugged his shoulders and said, “You can try.” He did not see anything special in Wang Xuan at all.

Seeing Shen Fei’s impervious attitude, Wang Xuan became completely enraged. He angrily shouted, “Useless trash, you actually dare to look down on my Wang family, you’ve got some gall!”

With this, Wang Xuan suddenly pulled out the long sword from his waist and fiercely thrust it toward Shen Fei’s chest. Wang Xuan’s attack was swift and ruthless. The tip of his sword glinted, and a murderous aura filled the air.

In the face of Wang Xuan’s attack, Shen Fei did not move at all. He stood there, as still as a statue.

“Hmph! I’d like to see how you’re still able to put on such a meaningless attitude when you’re about to die!” Wang Xuan cackled and increased his speed. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Shen Fei. His longsword carried a terrifying force as it smashed into Shen Fei’s chest!

However, in the next moment, Wang Xuan’s face suddenly stiffened.

Shen Fei had extended his right hand and grabbed Wang Xuan’s sword. Wang Xuan’s expression changed drastically.

‘He’s just a piece of trash! How could he block my sword with his bare hands? How could this be?!’

A playful smile appeared on Shen Fei’s face. “You’re too slow, as slow as a snail.”

“B*stard!” Wang Xuan roared in anger. Immediately after, a dense and vigorous vital Qi erupted from his body. His longsword trembled continuously, attempting to break free from Shen Fei’s control.

But no matter what he did, the sword was still tightly held in Shen Fei’s hand.

“You…!”

Looking at Shen Fei’s calm and composed face, Wang Xuan’s heart was filled with an inexplicable sense of fear. His face paled completely from shock.

“Who the hell are you? Why do you have such terrifying physical strength?” Wang Xuan trembled as he asked this. He could not help but take a step back.

Shen Fei lightly smiled. “Take a guess.”
