Sima Qing showed that he couldn’t contain his happiness and, at the same time, felt a little sad.

They had worked so hard all these years in order to help their clan grow stronger. They had toiled so hard and suffered so much, but there were not apparent results.

However, Sima You Yue had only returned for two years but had given the clan such heaven-defying changes. The clan was growing stronger day by day, all right before his very eyes. Compared to this, all his years of labour were in vain!

“Ancestor, we do not have to fret. This only goes to show that our luck was not good enough and insufficient to develop the Sima Clan. However, luck is ordained by heaven and we have no need to worry about it.” Sima He Shun said.

“No matter whose effort it is, it is fine as long as the clan prospers.” Sima Zhi Yuan beamed. He was rather downcast in the beginning, but after thinking about it, You Yue was his great granddaughter and she was leading the clan to glory again. What difference was there?

“Suppress this information from leaking out for now, in case others find out and it invites a disaster upon the clan. Sigh, this girl returned and which one of the things she brought back isn’t a treasure!” Sima Qing sighed.

“Do we not let anyone form a contract with them for the time being?”

“Mm. Wait till we tame a few more. If it goes like how that kid said it, if it isn’t one of the more powerful ones, we’ll get the clansmen with average talent to form a contract with it.”

“Understood.”

Later on, the Beast Tamer Masters of the clan were called to the beast tamer arena. Those ancient spirit beasts and long since been locked away somewhere else.

There were around fifty Beast Tamer Masters in the Sima Clan, which was already considered to be rather much. The average power had thirty to forty of them.

Within them, there were five to six of them who had already sworn and obtained the Imperial Beast Art, already making small progress.

“Patriarch, is there a reason that you have gathered us all here?” Someone asked.

“Yes.” Sima Zhi Yuan looked at them, saying, “Within you guys, half are already disciples of our clans and the rest of you have been called in from other places. Although we say this, we have never treated you as outsiders.”

“We have always been thankful for Patriarch for recognising our value and employing us.” A few of them replied.

Sima Zhi Yuan nodded, saying, “Right now, there is a very big opportunity right in front of you, waiting for you to make a decision.”

“What?”

“Because this situation is too important, we need you all to swear never to spread word of this out, and that you will never do anything to betray the clan, to swear loyalty to the Sima Clan.” Sima Zhi Yuan said, “Of course, this will be voluntary. You can choose not to swear loyalty. However, if this is the case, we cannot continue to keep you in our clan. However, we can recommend you to other clans or powers.”

“Patriarch, we are willing to swear our loyalty.” Those clan members from the Sima Clan were the first to express their loyalty.

They were already people from the clan, and nothing would change even if they swore their loyalty.

However, those Beast Tamer Masters who were not from the Sima Clan were hesitant. At most, they were just a vendor. They were not Sima Clansmen. However, if they swore this, they would be treated as a member of the Sima Clan.

Although the Sima Clan had treated them rather well, it was not enough to make them want to tie themselves here.

Furthermore, they didn’t know whether or not the opportunity they spoke of was really such a good opportunity.

As such, after thinking for a moment, there were four Beast Tamer Masters who stood up and left, indicating that they were willing to leave. Two chose to leave on their own while two chose to let the Sima Clan refer them to other places.
