This Noble Young Master Was Chen Chuanmo's Tribulation All Along

Ding Ran listened to Ye Qianyuan's statement with a somewhat dazed and confused expression.

Even though Ye Qianyuan had personally said that he would cripple Chen Chuanmo's cultivation and expel him from the sect, it didn't cause him much emotional fluctuation.

His mind was filled with thoughts of how, in just one night, the weak-looking beast egg in his hands yesterday, whose very existence was uncertain and whose hatching was not even certain, had transformed into the golden-haired little girl before him, a child at the peak of the Nascent Soul Perfection...

This young master's methods are truly astonishing and awe-inspiring!

The more Ding Ran realized this, the deeper her sense of loss became.

Even though he wanted to become this noble young master's servant, the young master refused to take him in!

We missed our chance to curry favor with a powerful figure!

He felt like crying but couldn't, yet he didn't want to think about it anymore, lest he feel even worse.

At least, the fact that the young master was willing to stand up for him is already an immense favor!

He took a deep breath, composed himself, and smiled. He bowed respectfully to Ye Qianyuan and said, "Everything is at the discretion of the Mountain True Lord!"

Ye Qianyuan remained fixed on Lu Yang's face.

The noble young man in white robes stood with his hands behind his back, the morning light outlining the handsome profile of his face, his expression remaining calm and composed.

He didn't react at all after listening to their conversation.

He gritted his teeth and nodded, saying, "Since that's the case, then let's handle it this way! Young Master, young friend Ding Ran, please wait a moment. I've already sent someone to bring Chen Chuanmo over!"

Lu Yang nodded slightly and chuckled, "I'm not in a hurry."

His trip to the Heavenly Craft Mystic Sect in Jing Province was merely to purchase high-quality Sound Transmission Jade Token; it wasn't some urgent matter.

He also intended to take his time and proceed slowly.

Spending an hour or two at Ten Thousand Beast Mountain is nothing.

Ye Qianyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lu Yang seemed to have no dissatisfaction with what he said.

He turned to look at the other elders.

The four elders who possessed the sect's guardian beasts turned pale and then flushed, their foreheads dripping with sweat.

Their divine Divine Senses fluctuated slightly, clearly indicating that they were secretly communicating with their respective natal spirit beasts.

Judging from their expressions, communication didn't seem to be going smoothly.

Ye Qianyuan's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that our family's guardian beast is really going to be kidnapped?!

Absolutely not!

These are four powerful demons at the Nascent Soul Realm!

If they were really abducted by this young nobleman, they wouldn't dare to cause him any trouble, and would have no choice but to accept it.

At that time, their high-end combat power in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain will be reduced by nearly half!

This would be a colossal disaster for any top power!

Ye Qianyuan quickly coughed, speaking before the atmosphere became more awkward, "My fellow disciples, I will accompany the young master from now on. You should all go back to your cultivation. After all, there's nothing seriously wrong with you now."

The elders, understanding the implied meaning of the song, nodded repeatedly and responded quickly.

"Absolutely! Absolutely!"

"I am still in a crucial period of comprehending the Great Dao, and it is indeed not advisable for me to linger here!"

"I am also at a crucial juncture in comprehending the Cultivation Method; now is the time for me to return and cultivate!"

"..."

As they spoke, they would occasionally glance quickly at Lu Yang to see if he had any complaints.

If this young master doesn't want them to leave, then they'll probably have no choice but to bite the bullet and continue standing there, forcing smiles and trying to appease their spirit beasts.

Fortunately, Lu Yang remained calm as always. He chuckled and said, "In that case, I won't trouble you seniors any further. Cultivation is the priority. I will depart on my own after this matter is resolved."

Hearing this, Ye Qianyuan and the other elders all breathed a sigh of relief.

They were even slightly moved.

This young nobleman is indeed a person of extraordinary birth and noble status!

If he shows that he wants their sect's guardian beast, then there is a very good chance he will succeed!

However, this young nobleman paid no attention to these four Nascent Soul Realm demons!

Whether it's because this young master looks down on their sect's guardian beast, or for some other reason...

For them, the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain was a safe haven from a huge loss!

Lu Yang was unaware of Ye Qianyuan and the others' thoughts; his own thoughts were actually quite simple.

After all, he had no grudge against the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, so it was somewhat unethical of him to take away their guardian beast for no reason.

He now has no shortage of the Nascent Soul Realm combat power.

Moreover, without the [Low-Level Spirit Beast Nurturing Card], he could at most sign normal spirit beast contracts with these four Nascent Soul stage demons, which wouldn't be of much use to him.

On the contrary, the four Nascent Soul stage demons were quite disappointed.

Judging from this young nobleman's nonchalant demeanor, he clearly didn't even look at them.

Indeed... With this young master's extraordinary abilities, he could easily cultivate a beast egg that is far superior to theirs.

Why would we possibly bother with those old fogies again?

For a moment, the four transformed demons all looked dejected.

The four elders were overjoyed and immediately began to communicate with their respective spirit beasts, offering words of comfort and promises.

The main strategy is to take advantage of a weakness!

The senior elders did not linger any longer.

They transformed into streaks of light, each accompanied by their respective guardian beasts, and hurriedly flew towards the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

In the morning light, several streaks of light streaked across the sky, moving even faster than when they arrived, giving the impression of someone escaping from danger.

However, the four transformed demons kept turning back as they flew away, their expressions still quite disappointed.

Only Ye Qianyuan remained.

As the morning light rose higher, it cast his long shadow on the spirit floor.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his face calm and composed, but he dared not relax for a moment.

Just then, two more streaks of light flew in from the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

The speed of these two streaks of light was clearly not as fast as those Nascent Soul Realm cultivators; they were roughly at the Golden Core Realm stage.

One after the other, they swept past the churning gray-white demonic mist in the sky and flew straight toward the flying boat.

A few breaths later, they arrived in front of the group and revealed themselves.

Leading the group was an elderly man with white hair and a white beard. He wore a dark blue Daoist robe embroidered with several patterns of the Beast-Controlling Mountain. He had a square face and a solemn expression.

A young man followed behind him.

The young man appeared to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He was tall and slender, wearing a dark black brocade robe with a rather exquisite beast-taming bag hanging at his waist. His face was handsome, but there was a hint of arrogance between his brows.

This is Chen Chuanmo, a core disciple of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

As soon as Chen Chuanmo regained his footing, his gaze quickly swept around his surroundings.

His gaze immediately fell on Lu Yang, and his expression faltered for a moment.

The young man in white robes before me seemed to possess an indescribable aura. Just by standing there, everything around him lost its color, and the morning light falling on him formed a faint halo.

However, the young man quickly came to his senses, a look of horror appearing in his eyes. He hurriedly looked away, not daring to look any longer.

He then saw Mu Yunxue beside Lu Yang, and a look of amazement appeared in his eyes.

Her appearance was aloof and stunningly beautiful. She was dressed in white, her long, jet-black hair simply tied back with a plain white ribbon, which swayed gently in the wind.

However, he quickly looked away, not daring to look any longer.

The female cultivator and the white-robed youth were standing so close that their relationship was clearly quite close.

That male cultivator was clearly no ordinary person. He might like beautiful women, but he wouldn't be so foolish as to seek death.

His gaze then fell on the four inner disciples he had sent out, and on the somewhat nervous Ding Ran.

His gaze finally swept over the four inner disciples kneeling in the corner of the deck, their faces covered in tears and snot, and over Ding Ran, who stood not far away, his expression a mixture of complex emotions and a sense of relief.

Chen Chuanmo glanced at Ding Ran's expression and the expressions of his four junior brothers, and his heart sank.

He had a bad feeling.

Chen Chuanmo dared not think too much. He first bowed respectfully to Ye Qianyuan, his voice steady and his posture dignified. "Disciple Chen Chuanmo greets Mountain Lord!"

Ye Qianyuan looked at Chen Chuanmo, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

This Chen Chuanmo comes from the Golden Core Chen Household. Supreme-Grade Spirit Root and a talent for cultivation. What's even more remarkable is his aptitude for beast taming.

The sect spared no effort in training him.

He was never shortchanged in any way —Cultivation Method, elixirs, spirit beasts, and access to secret realms.

Over the years, he has had a smooth and successful career at Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, and he is always the center of attention wherever he goes.

What a pity...

My luck was a bit off.

If Ding Ran hadn't met this noble young master, perhaps he really would have obtained the Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Peng Egg.

With the resources of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain for incubation and nurturing, combined with Chen Chuanmo's own talent, he might become a Nascent Soul Realm Supreme Elder and a Nascent Soul Realm stage Guardian Beast in the future.

The strength of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain might increase even further.

Unfortunately, Ding Ran happened to meet this noble young master, and everything changed.

Thinking about this, Ye Qianyuan felt relieved.

No matter how strong one's talent, if one's luck is not good, one will still not have a smooth journey on the path of cultivation.

The more powerful a cultivator is, the more they value the concept of luck.

Which True Lord has cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm hasn't encountered several opportunities to change their fortuitous opportunity in their youth?

Meeting this noble young man was itself a calamity for Chen Chuanmo.

It's unavoidable.

Chen Chuanmo stood silently, watching Ye Qianyuan scrutinize him from head to toe. He remained silent for a long time, his face gradually turning pale, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, sliding down his temples.

His back was soaked with cold sweat, which clung to his skin and felt chilly.

Something's not right...

Normally, the mountain lord was quite close to him, always asking about his cultivation progress whenever they met, and occasionally offering some pointers on beast taming techniques.

It's definitely not like this silent, scrutinizing demeanor we see today!

What exactly did those four good-for-nothings do?!

Who exactly is that man who looks so extraordinary?!

Those four good-for-nothings wouldn't have messed with him, would they?

They can't even handle such a small matter as snatching a beast egg from a scion of a minor Aristocratic Clan. What use are they?!

Utterly foolish!

Damn it!

Am I going to be severely punished?!

If that's the case, once his punishment is over, he'll definitely give those four good-for-nothings a good dressing down!

Chen Chuanmo's mind was churning with thoughts, but he dared not reveal a single one on his face.

He still bowed with his hands clasped and his eyes lowered, his posture becoming increasingly humble.
