This time, there was no danger in going to the Leiting Market trade fair, so Su Yu took the two girls with him. Along the way, they played and visited scenic spots, avoiding the monotony of only concentrating on cultivation. There was a form of cultivation in experiencing the world as well.
Along the way, the Cloud Tigers crossed over mountains and rivers.
When they encountered beautiful lakes and mountains, they would occasionally stop.
They would make tea by the lakeside or amid a sea of flowers, accompanied by the two celestial maidens. It was an idyllic and wonderful journey.
Two days later.
Outside the Thunder Bamboo Forest, a huge figure descended from the sky. It was one of the Cloud Tigers.
A few figures up ahead turned to look in surprise as they felt the strong aura of the Cloud Tiger. They watched as it landed not far behind them, and a young man dressed in green, accompanied by two celestial maidens, dismounted from it.
The Cloud Tiger then shrank in size, its small wings flapping as it flew into Ke’er’s arms.
Although large and ferocious in its original form, the shrunken Cloud Tiger appeared unbelievably cute.
With a mix of yellow and white stripes, fluffy crystal-clear fur, and a faint glow around it, it looked like a lively little tiger cub with a pair of wings from afar.
A young girl among the group couldn’t help but exclaim, “How cute!” upon seeing the Cloud Tiger.
A young man in a white robe beside her showed surprise, “A Cloud Tiger? This particular beast has such a spiritual aura? Moreover, this aura is not weak – it seems to have a potent bloodline!”
The leading elder glanced at the Cloud Tiger and calmly said, “This Beast Tamer has a fortunate destiny. The Cloud Tiger’s bloodline has metamorphosed. It’s almost like a Spirit Beast now.”
This statement nudged the young man in the white robe. He tried to stop Su Yu, Ke’er, and Qianqing as they marched towards Leiting Market, “Kind Sir, please hold on a moment.”
Su Yu stopped, his brow furrowing as he examined the white-robed young man and his companions. The elder particularly intrigued him, as he emitted the aura of a True Man at the first level of the Core Formation Realm!
However, his aura had been concealed by a Magic Artifact, making it imperceptible to ordinary people.
Even Ke’er and Qianqing at his side couldn’t discern the elder’s level of cultivation.
Su Yu looked at the young man in white and asked, “What is it, sir?”
The youth in white robe smiled lightly, examined Su Yu, and threw glances at Ke’er and Qianqing, paying extra attention to Ke’er.
He laughed and said, “Young man, your cultivation is impressive for your age. However, I don’t believe I’ve seen you at the Leiting Market trade fair. May I ask your name?”
The young man and his companions didn’t recognize Su Yu.
However, Su Yu, who had participated in the Leiting Market trade fair several times through his puppet avatar, had some information about these people.
They belonged to the Tie Family – a secluded family of cultivators!
Su Yu had seen the elder, the young man in the white robe, and the young woman at the trade fair several times.
While deducing the group’s motives for stopping him, Su Yu had a guess when he noticed their attention on the Cloud Tigers.
Su Yu replied calmly, “The Yunjian Sect’s Patron, Su Yu. Nice to meet you.”
“This is indeed our first time attending the Leiting Market trade fair.”
The Yunjian Sect?
He knew of the sect, but Su Yu, the Patron? He’d never heard of him.
This remark made the white-robed youth smile and say, “Tie Family, Tie Tongsheng. You could also call me Tongsheng.”
Then, Tongsheng looked at the Cloud Tiger in Ke’er’s arms and continued, “Your Beast Taming pet is very beautiful. My sister likes it very much. We stopped you, because we want to propose a deal.”
He pointed to the Cloud Tiger and said, “A thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones, how about you sell this pet to us?”
“This price would be enough to buy a top-notch Magic Artifact.”
“Or, these Spirit Stones could exchange for some cultivation resources for you. Leiting Market is not an ordinary market. The items inside are of extraordinary value. If you don’t have enough mid-grade Spirit Stones, I’m afraid—your gains might disappoint.”
Although he was smiling, his tone showed a hint of coercion.
If it were an ordinary Beast Tamer pet at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, a thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones would be a reasonable price and quite sincere.
But hearing these words, the Cloud Tiger in Ke’er’s arms glared at Tongsheng fiercely. A threatening growl rumbled from its throat.
Ke’er’s expression was also not very pleasant. Her Cloud Tiger was a treasured pet, they shared a unique bond.
Generally, only pets that are tamed for a specific purpose would be sold by Beast Tamers.
For a Beast Tamer, the pet they nurtured themselves is like their ‘family’ without a doubt.
Asking such a question was very rude!
Su Yu gave Tongsheng a sidelong glance: “No matter who you are, I will let it go this time out of respect for the elder behind you. Now, step aside.”
A low hum!
In an instant, Tongsheng’s face changed dramatically.
As Su Yu’s gaze met his, all the hairs on Tongsheng’s body stood on end. He felt suffocated, and his mind went blank.
It wasn’t until Su Yu, Ke’er, and Qianqing went into the Thunder Bamboo Forest that Tongsheng regained his senses. His face was deathly pale, soaked in cold sweat. His back was drenched, and his legs felt weak.
The elder and the young woman noticed the anomaly in Tongsheng and were surprised as they watched the three figures of Su Yu, Ke’er, and Qianqing recede into the distance.
