1736 Side Story 2: Prime Master Yin Mingjue Pursues His Wife (5)
Xu Qingtian actually didn’t like to eat dumplings.
His family had made dumplings some time ago, but they didn’t have his favorite flavor, so he came here to eat.
Xu Qingtian said, “Is that so? I didn’t know.” In fact, civilians actually knew very little about the cultivation world. Even a family like the Xu family couldn’t get into contact with the cultivation world.
There had always been a barrier between the cultivation world and the civilian world.
Sheng Shi’an smiled again and said, “You’ll know after you try it. The dumplings here definitely taste different from ordinary people’s dumplings.”
As they spoke, the dumplings arrived.
Xu Qingtian was very hungry, so he ate very quickly, but his eating manner was very elegant. Sheng Shi’an’s every gesture revealed an innate sense of nobility and one could tell that he was a child from a prestigious family. He was cheerful, optimistic, and his eyes were filled with confidence.
Only a child who grew up in a well-off and harmonious family could have a temperament like his.
As Xu Qingtian ate quietly, he heard Sheng Shi’an muttering non-stop.
He cut off half of the rhinoceros leg and placed it in Sheng Shi’an’s bowl.
Sheng Shi’an stared at the leg in a daze for a while before suddenly looking up at Xu Qingtian. Then, he asked Xu Qingtian, “How do you know that I like to eat Spiritual Legs?”
Xu Qingtian said with an impassive expression, “I didn’t know. I just want you to eat meat quietly and shut up.”
Sheng Shi’an was speechless.
He stared at Xu Qingtian with a strange gaze for a moment before picking up the Spiritual Leg and eating it.
Xu Qingtian said, “I have to go. What about you?”
Sheng Shi’an blinked and said, “I live in the nearby Beast Tamer Hotel. It’s close, so you don’t have to worry about me.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingtian, who had planned to leave, sat back down. “Beast Tamer Hotel?” He guessed, “You’re a Beast Tamer?” Sheng Shi’an looked young and handsome, so he was probably in his twenties.
Since he was staying in the Beast Tamer Hotel, it meant that he was a Beast Tamer. “You’re a Beast Tamer.” Xu Qingtian sat up straight and looked at Xu Qingtian with more respect and less coldness.
Nodding, Sheng Shi’an told him, “Yes, I’m a Beast Tamer. The day after tomorrow, the various cities of the Divine Moon Empire will hold the Beast Tamer Awakening Ceremony. I’m the supervisor of Jingdu’s awakening ceremony this year.”
Xu Qingtian wasn’t from the cultivation world, so he naturally didn’t know that only the elite academy of the Divine Realm Academy was qualified to be the supervisor of every Beast Tamer Awakening Ceremony, let alone the supervisor of Jingdu City.
Students who could be the supervisor of Jingdu City were usually disciplinary officers of the Divine Realm Academy.
However, Xu Qingtian wasn’t stupid enough not to know how prestigious it was, so he looked at Sheng Shi’an with even more respect. He asked after some deliberation, “To be able to become a supervisor, you must be very impressive, right? Are you… a Master?” His mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts.
Sheng Shi’an looked very young and was probably only in his early twenties. Such a young Master was a cream of the crop. Xu Qingtian didn’t even dare to imagine that he was a Master.
However, someone who could become the supervisor of the Beast Tamer Awakening Ceremony couldn’t be just a Scholar.
Xu Qingtian thought that his guess was bold enough.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually said, “Master? No, I’m a Supreme Master.”
Xu Qingtian was speechless.
He felt that he had been played by the other party.
Who was he trying to fool? How could there be such a young Supreme Master?
Xu Qingtian stood up and left.
Sheng Shi’an seemed to know what Xu Qingtian was thinking. He shook his head and smiled without saying anything.
However, when Sheng Shi’an finished his meal and stood up to settle the bill, the owner said to him respectfully, “Young Master, that Young Master surnamed Xu paid for you.”
“Is that so?” Sheng Shi’an smiled and said to the owner, “As usual, please give me two servings.” One for his mother and one for his sister.
Carrying the packed dumplings, Sheng Shi’an took out his phone and typed a message to Yu Huang: “Mom, Grandpa seems to have taken me as a liar, but he’s very righteous and settled the bill for me. I’ve decided to eat with Grandpa often in the future.”
Everyone was envious of Sheng Shi’an and Sheng Shining for being were born into a rich and powerful family. Their father was the Sky Dragon War God, whose combat strength was off the charts, and their mother was the most respected Phoenix Great Dao in the three thousand worlds, so they must be living a good life.
However, no one knew that ever since Sheng Shi’an and Sheng Shining awakened their beast forms and became Scholar, their allowance had been cut off by their parents. If they wanted to buy what they wanted, they could only earn money themselves. Ever since Sheng Shi’an awakened his beast form and became a Scholar, he had begun to help earn money. Back then, in order to earn money, he even went to the Civilian World to be a bodyguard for a young master in his teens.
Every year, Sheng Shi’an and Sheng Shining looked forward to new year’s the most. During the new year, their big brother who was traveling in the three thousand worlds would come to the Holy Spirit Continent to celebrate the new year with them. Every time that happened, Sheng Shi’an and Sheng Shining would pester him to go to the mall, buy clothes, toys, and everything they wanted.
But he was also very poor.
Their big brother was a Divine Master of the Undead Continent, which was famous for being barren. As a ghostly cultivator Divine Master, their big brother couldn’t accumulate wealth like God Ling Xiao did. However, fortunately, their big brother had a rich good friend. Every time their big brothe finished spending his money, Brother Wuya would transfer money to him.
Therefore, Sheng Shi’an had a good impression of people who were willing to spend money on him.
He decided that he would protect his grandfather in the future.

The next day, Xu Qingtian took half a day off and went to the hospital with Mr. Dong for a full-body checkup.
After the examination, Mr. Dong found an excuse to leave. He secretly went to the neurology department behind Xu Qingtian’s back and handed Xu Qingtian’s examination report to the director. When he saw that the director was staring at the examination report without saying anything for a long time, his heart skipped a beat.
“Director Liu.” Mr. Dong asked uneasily, “Is there a problem with Young Master’s medical report?”
Director Liu returned the report to him and said, “There’s nothing wrong with your young master’s mental state. However, the value of his hidden spiritual power is the highest I’ve seen in more than twenty years.”
Mr. Dong was stunned and asked Director Liu, “What’s hidden spiritual power?” He had never even heard of this sort of thing before.
Director Liu explained, “Our hospital introduced a mind tester from the technological continent. This is a mind tester personally developed by the Technological Divine Master. The so-called hidden spiritual power tests one’s potential value and this potential data value is related to one’s beast nature value. The higher one’s hidden spiritual power, the higher the potential to successfully awaken one’s beast form.”
After Director Liu opened a manual and looked at it seriously, he told Mr. Dong, “According to the Technological Divine Master, the hidden spiritual power data of commoners is generally between 230 and 580.” Director Liu tapped his temples and said, “Generally, those who have a hidden spiritual power value of more than 500 are cream of the crop in various industries, while those who have a hidden spiritual power of more than 600 have an 80% chance of awakening their beast form and becoming a Beast Tamer.”
After Director Liu picked up a pen and drew a circle on the row where Xu Qingtian’s checkup report contained hidden spiritual power, he said, “Xu Qingtian’s hidden spiritual power test data is 2856.” After Director Liu put away the pen, he leaned against the chair and muttered to himself, “If there wasn’t a mistake with the testing machine, this student shouldn’t have gone to the hospital, but the Beast Tamer Alliance instead.”
Mr. Dong’s heart raced.
“You… you’re saying that the Eldest Young Master might become a Beast Tamer?”
Director Liu nodded. “Yes.”
Mr. Dong grabbed the medical report on the table and rushed out.
Xu Qingtian had been waiting for him at the entrance. When he saw him running out of the elevator with the medical report excitedly, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Could it be that he was really sick?
In an instant, Xu Qingtian already thought of the situation of him dying from an incurable illness and being buried in the cemetery after his death.
Mr. Dong grabbed Xu Qingtian’s hand and walked towards the parking area hurriedly. As he walked, he said, “Let’s go, Young Master. We’re going to the Beast Tamer Alliance for a test.”
Xu Qingtian was filled with confusion.
After getting into the car, Mr. Dong drove. Only then did he have the time to tell Xu Qingtian the theoretical knowledge that Director Liu had told him. “Young Master, you might really be able to become a Beast Tamer. At that time, you will be the only Beast Tamer in the Xu family!”
He wanted to see who in the Xu family would dare to ignore Eldest Young Master at that time!
Xu Qingtian was also somewhat surprised.
However, compared to the excited Mr. Dong, Xu Qingtian was much calmer.
