Every time old masters took apprentices, they gifted extravagantly. Since he finally had an apprentice, it was time for him to reciprocate and gift his apprentice something special.

Dragon Mother invited Fang Qin to ride her primary mystic beast, a favor considered of the utmost honor among the members of the Jinghai Army.

The members of Fang Qin’s squad in the Jinghai Army envied him greatly, but they were equally joyous for him.

Over the years, they have all seen the hardships Fang Qin had undergone.

Although perplexed by Fang Qin’s flourishing resources and the subsequent transformation of his guardian beasts, none of the members asked for the reason behind his good fortune.

There were also people within the Jinghai Army who gossiped about or envied Fang Qin behind his back, but these people were, of course, kept out of Fang Qin’s squad by Luo Su.

If Fang Qin, the captain of a special operations squad, was accepted by Dragon Mother as a disciple, the rest of the squad members would greatly benefit.

According to an old adage, if one person ascends to heaven, even the chickens and dogs of the house will rise too. And this doesn’t even consider the resources the Jinghai Army would dedicate to the squad in the future.

Once accepted as Dragon Mother’s disciple, Fang Qin’s strength would surely increase.

The stronger Fang Qin became, the safer the whole squad would be in combat.

Although Fang Qin was surprised and fearful when he received the invitation from Dragon Mother, he did not shy away.

He called back his Frost Tone Snow Dragonling and rode on the back of his Cangluan Ying Jiao, which carried him towards the head of the Red Violent Dragon.

Fang Qin understood that the fact he was accepted as Dragon Mother’s disciple had little to do with him personally – it was mostly because of his younger brother, who improved the bloodlines and quality of his guardian beasts.

The status and connections of his younger brother as Grandmaster Creator’s disciple were among the main reasons Dragon Mother chose him.

His little brother had paved the way for him; Fang Qin did not feel insecure about this.

If he approached Dragon Mother in fear and awe, that would have made all of his younger brother’s efforts go in vain.

Others might not be aware of Fang Mu’s past, but Fang Qin knew all too well.

Fang Mu went from an ordinary, helpless man to the disciple of a Grandmaster Creator, who turned back to take care of him, and his siblings, Fang Yuan and Yan Wood.

The journey wasn’t as simple as Fang Mu made it seem.

The best way Fang Qin could console his brother was by making the most of the opportunities Fang Mu created for him.

Respect for Dragon Mother shone on Fang Qin’s face, overlaid with an air of composure and tranquility.

Dragon Mother was fond of individuals like Fang Qin, steadfast and resolute.

Apart from his combat skills and abilities, Fang Qin’s temperament also pleased Dragon Mother immensely.

Dragon Mother reached out her hand to Fang Qin.

As soon as Fang Qin placed his hand in hers, she quickly pulled him to her side, standing with him atop the head of the Crimson Armor.

Ever since the Red Violent Dragon appeared, Cangluan Ying Jiao had been trembling, holding its breath within itself.

Dragon beasts were particularly sensitive to differences in bloodline ranks.

Despite the Red Armor’s dragon might not being directed at Cangluan Ying Jiao, it almost had a stress response under the influence of the dragon might.

The Frost Tone Snow Dragonling, despite having a lower rank in terms of bloodline than Cangluan Ying Jiao, was so affected by the dragon might that it fell to Fang Qin’s side, not daring to fly at all.

Thanks to the long-established pact between Cangluan Ying Jiao and Fang Qin, it mustered up the courage to fly towards the top of the Red Armor.

Knowing that Dragon Mother favored Fang Qin and was planning to take him as a disciple, the Red Armor emitted a friendly air towards Cangluan Ying Jiao.

Moreover, it amplified its dragon might on Cangluan Ying Jiao.

Otherwise, even if it had Fang Qin’s command, Cangluan Ying Jiao would not dare to approach within ten meters of the red armor.

News of Dragon Mother inviting Fang Qin to ride her main battle mystic beast, the Red Armor, soon spread.

Before Dragon Mother could even arrive with Fang Qin at the Cleaner Division, Feng Lin received the news.

Feng Lin turned towards Fang Mu and said with a smile,

“Your preparations were not in vain, Fang Mu – Dragon Mother has indeed taken a liking to your sister, Fang Qin!”

Fang Mu heaved a sigh of relief and broke out into laughter,

“I did not make any preparations. Master helped my elder sister slightly enhance her mystic beasts.”

“My goodness, Master truly loves me!”

When Feng Lin heard what Fang Mu said, her envy shifted from Fang Qin to Fang Mu.

She couldn’t imagine just how good Qixing, the person backing Fang Mu, was to him that he’d even tried to cultivate Fang Mu’s sister.

Before, Feng Lin was the only one who could get in touch with Qixing through Fang Mu.

Now, Dragon Mother had a far closer relationship with Fang Mu than Feng Lin. This was excellent news for Feng Lin.

Through her relationship with Fang Mu, she could draw closer to Dragon Mother.

The master behind Fang Mu was a fabrication; his words about the master were only said to fool Feng Lin.

Dragon Mother had seen Fang Qin’s mystic beasts in person and was sure to have her suspicions.

Feng Lin was in close contact with Fang Mu, so Dragon Mother would inevitably ask Feng Lin for answers.

Instead of letting Dragon Mother come up with any other wild conjectures, it would be better to attribute everything to the adoration of his so-called master.

Fang Mu managed to provide Fang Qin with Dragon Mother’s support before embarking on his journey. If Fang Yuan and Yan Wood ran into trouble, Dragon Mother, due to her relationship with Fang Qin, would surely not stand idly by.

This was like insurance for Fang Yuan and Yan Wood.

In a few days, Fang Yuan would visit Chang Le Pavilion on Fang Mu’s behalf to establish a deep collaboration between Fang Mu and Chang Le Pavilion.

Both Chang Le Pavilion and Yi Han would become sturdy support for Fang Yuan and the Mu Commerce Association, thus leaving Fang Mu with nothing to worry about.

After meeting Dragon Mother today, Fang Mu only needed to calmly wait for the calls from Golden Bull and Shui Miao.

Golden Bull was coming to see him to extend his lifespan and would surely start preparations right after the Starwheel meet-up.

Shui Miao was coming to discuss with him how to customize spiritual instruments. Fang Mu did not have any specific idea for designing spiritual instruments.

High-level Sequential Spiritual Instruments would rely primarily on the automatic protection from the beast spirit even if he made a Marrow Pact with them.

For Fang Mu to advance to a Hexagram Beastmaster and smoothly use high-level Sequential Spiritual Instruments would take a considerable amount of time.

However, Fang Mu could discuss the customization of ghost devices with Shui Miao.

Although customizing ghost devices came at an extra cost, Fang Mu was confident that he could afford it.
