Chapter 277: 186 Are You Taking Me for a Fool!?_2
The Yi Family, in selecting talent, afforded much preference toward their Side branches.
They are among the few top powers which allow Side branches and Direct Descendants to train and learn together.
Every Crane Beast inside these forty plus Bird Niches were of the rarest kind.
Only the core members of the Yi Family’s Direct Line had the privilege to choose among these Guardian Beasts.
Side branches can only be given this privilege and honor if they contribute significantly to the family.
As the young members of the Yi Family eagerly watched these Crane Beasts freely soaring within the Bird Niches,
Yi Han was seen leading a teenager toward the Martial Arts Arena.
A beautiful woman and a burly man were following close behind the teenager.
These two were closely trailing him, behaving like servants.
The younger members of the Yi Family surrounded them, curious about the identity of Fang Mu.
In major families like theirs, many of the younger generation training in the Martial Arts Arena were illegitimate sons and daughters retrieved from the outside.
Many of these illegitimate offspring demonstrated extraordinary talent after they returned to the Yi Family and received proper resources.
They quickly overshadowed many members of the Direct Line and Side branches.
Initially, many young members of the Yi Family thought Fang Mu was also an illegitimate son.
However, upon observation, Fang Mu didn’t appear to be of Yi Family descent.
Descendants of the Yi Family often have distinct features such as phoenix eyes, which are rarely absent in the younger generation.
Moreover, if Fang Mu was a Yi Family illegitimate son, it wouldn’t be possible for him to accompany Yi Han, let alone bring his own servants.
Suddenly, a gasp of surprise spread through the crowd.
“It’s Jianmu! I happened to see his duel on the Battle Network!”
A member of the Yi Family’s Side branches exclaimed, revealing Fang Mu’s identity.
Those who had their attention on Yi Han quickly shifted their focus to Fang Mu.
The young members of the Yi Family looked at Fang Mu with a mix of wariness and scrutiny, their gaze filled with dissatisfaction and resentment.
Many young descendants of the Yi Family had been waiting for their turn to use the Sacred Relic, Sakura Tempering Carp!
Many of the younger Yi Family members had even bragged about it, displaying arrogance among their friends.
Some of the young Direct Line members in high positions within the Yi Family promised to bring their friends home to witness the Sakura Tempering Carp.
However, all their plans were disrupted by Fang Mu’s sudden appearance.
The emergence of a Grandmaster Creator in the Yi Family should have been a time of infinite glory for them.
Yet due to Fang Mu, the younger generation felt as if they had been slapped in the face in public.
But after noticing Yi Han’s attitude towards Fang Mu, the smarter ones instantly suppressed their negative emotions.
If even Yi Han treats Fang Mu with such respect,
wouldn’t it mean going against Yi Han’s wishes if they bear grudges against Fang Mu?
Behind Jianmu was a Grandmaster Creator who was even more powerful than Yi Han, and maintaining cordial relations with him could surely benefit them within the family.
However, not all the youngsters of the Yi Family were clever.
In a group of outstanding individuals, there were bound to be some fools.
Even if the fools could make sensible decisions, it wouldn’t stop others from deliberately inciting trouble.
The most common relationship among the younger generation of large families is competition.
If they are able to create a conflict between someone and Fang Mu, that person will likely be ruined within the Yi Family.
While there were many things the young members of the Yi Family wouldn’t dare to say to their elders, there were no such restrictions among the youngsters.
Yi Shuzhou was the youngest son of the Family Head, Yi Feng.
For elders, a late-born son is often the most beloved.
Few things bring as much joy as having a child in old age.
Yi Shuzhou was the little tyrant among the younger generation of the Yi Family.
Although Yi Shuzhou was not the highest-ranking among the younger generation and didn’t rank in the top twenty in terms of talent,
very few people would want to clash with him.
Not long ago, he had spoken ill of Jianmu, even boasting that even if Jianmu got the Sakura Tempering Carp, he wouldn’t necessarily be any stronger!
Though these were just sour words of a young man who was resentful for not having received the Sacred Relic Sakura Tempering Carp,
there was potential in it.
Next to Yi Shuzhou, a thin boy was eyeing Fang Mu with his eyes full of cunning.
He turned his head towards Yi Shuzhou and suggested in a rising tone,
“Shuzhou, it seems you and Jianmu are about the same age,”
“You just became a Biprong Star Tamer recently. How about having a match with Jianmu later?”
“Master Yi Han is here watching. If you perform well, Master Yi Han will definitely notice.”
Upon hearing the proposal, Yi Shuzhou’s face darkened, and he sharply stared at the thin boy next to him.
“Yi Shixuan, you’re not taking me for a fool, are you?”
“You are also a Biprong Star Tamer. Why don’t you challenge Jianmu yourself?”
“Just show your full strength. Even if you lose, our elder brother will look at you in a better light!”
“Ha-ha, Yi Shixuan, you better not come to Master Pang’s class in the Martial Arts Arena tomorrow.”
