Beast Taming Patrol

"Please wait a moment, let us discuss this," Yan Hongyu glanced back at the others, knowing that such a decision wasn't his alone to make, he spoke after hesitating for a moment.

"Hmph, recruiting you is already giving you face, don't be ungrateful!" another person from the Black Moon Empire couldn't help but snort disdainfully.

As the people from the Great Yan Kingdom glared angrily, Cao Yun waved his hand, stopping the person, and said with a smile, "Sorry, this guy has a bit of a temper, go ahead and discuss."

The people from Great Yan Kingdom nodded and quickly gathered together.

"What do you all think?" Yan Hongyu furrowed his brows slightly and said, "How about we vote by show of hands? Majority rules, and Zhang Yong and Zhang Yi will definitely agree, but what do you all think?"

"Let me be the first to say that I agree to join them," he was the first to speak up.

"I agree as well," Zhou Pingluan nodded in agreement. Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire

The three people not from the imperial city exchanged glances and quickly expressed, "We have no objections."

They had planned to travel in a group for a while before leaving on their own, so at this point, it didn't make much difference who they followed.

"That makes seven of us," Yan Hongyu coughed lightly and asked, "So, shall we settle on that?"

"No, this is unacceptable!" Yan Susen burst out angrily, "Who knows what those people are up to, the Zhang brothers haven't informed us, and approaching the other party in secret like this is highly suspicious!"

Lin Su placed a hand on Yan Susen's shoulder to stop him from continuing, and then looked calmly at Yan Hongyu, "Prince, I don't care what you choose, but there is no way I can cooperate with these strangers from the Black Moon Empire, so if you choose to join them, this is where we part ways."

He had been planning to find an opportunity to act alone, and this moment was just what he wanted.

When Lin Su spoke, a glint of pleasure flashed in Yan Susen's eyes as well.

Right, he almost forgot, the two of them could leave the group and act on their own.

"This..." Yan Hongyu looked deeply at Lin Su and turned his head towards the three people from the martial institute, "Brother Qin, what do you three think?"

"We can join them and see," Qin Haoran nodded slightly, "If we don't get along with them, then we'll just leave."

Yan Hongyu's eyes struggled with the decision.

The situation was now clear, of the twelve people from the Great Yan Kingdom, the two Beast Tamers were unwilling to join, while the martial artists had no major objections.

If they chose to join the Black Moon Empire, without a doubt, it would mean hitching their wagon to a stronger force.

And Yan Susen's departure was exactly what Yan Hongyu had hoped for.

He had no desire to be constantly faced with the sight of his brother whom he found repulsive.

If Lin Su also decided to leave...

So be it.

When it came to choosing between Lin Su and the Black Moon Empire, in Yan Hongyu's heart, the scales tipped decisively toward the Black Moon Empire.

With their superior numbers, could dozens of people not outmatch a single Lin Su?

Thinking this, Yan Hongyu cleared his throat, turned to the people of the Black Moon Empire, and said, "Sorry for the wait, we have made our decision."

"And?" Cao Yun asked cheerfully.

"The two Beast Tamers will not join; the rest of us are willing," Yan Hongyu said calmly, "How does that sound?"

"Hmm?" The expressions of the Black Moon Empire people shifted slightly.

"Haha, I'm afraid that won't do," Cao Yun's eyes flickered with a cold light, and he shook his head, "Beast Tamers are stronger in the early stages. If only your Beast Tamers don't join, then wouldn't we be at a loss in this cooperation?"

This...

Yan Hongyu was at a loss for words.

"How about this instead," Cao Yun said with a smile, "I won't force anyone. If the two Beast Tamers from Great Yan Kingdom are unwilling to cooperate with us, let it be. But in that case, the Great Yan Kingdom should show some other sincerity, right?"

"What kind of sincerity?" Yan Hongyu asked cautiously.

"I've heard..." Cao Yun's voice paused slightly, "that your Beast Tamers of Great Yan have mastered a Secret Technique that unifies them with their guardian beasts. Hand it over to us, and I will let your Beast Tamers leave. Not only that, but in the upcoming Talent Battles, I guarantee that your people from Great Yan Kingdom will reap great benefits. How about it?"

"Zhang Yong, Zhang Yi, you two treacherous beasts!" Before Yan Hongyu could respond, Yan Susen's face quickly reddened with anger, cursing aloud.

Lin Su's expression also darkened quickly.

It was at this moment that the two of them quickly realized what the other party had agreed upon with the Black Moon Empire.

Lin Su hadn't used the Guardian Beast Co-operation during the blood moon the night before.

Apart from their own people from Great Yan Kingdom, no one else should have known about this.

Obviously, the only ones who could have leaked this were the Zhang brothers who were already at odds with Lin Su and were now in contact with the Black Moon Empire.

The expressions of everyone else also changed.

The three from the martial institute showed hints of dissatisfaction, and Yun Zhenzhen even let a trace of anger appear in her eyes.

As for the three not from the imperial city, their expressions showed a hint of temptation.

As for Yan Hongyu and Zhou Pingluan at the front, their expressions went from struggling to resolute.

"Little Brother Lin." Yan Hongyu turned towards Lin Su and cleared his throat, lowering his voice, "As I understand it, you have not kept that technique to yourself, having already spread it within the Beast Taming Union?"

"Indeed," Lin Su raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded.

"In that case, could you perhaps teach it to a few more people?" Yan Hongyu's eyes held a hint of hope, "If so, once the national competition ends, I will surely speak to the Emperor on your behalf to reward your merits."
