SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Reluctantly, he slipped from the bed, careful not to disturb her restful slumber. After quickly freshening up, Kent stepped out of the Moonstone Palace of the Yang family, heading towards the Beast Garden.

His pets, the Fire Kirin named Kavi and the Black Serpent Beast named Jabil, sensed his presence and came running over with evident excitement. Kent chuckled softly, reaching into his storage bracelet to pull out colorful fruits and high-quality beast food.

As he began feeding them, other beasts in the garden started to inch closer, drawn by the scent of food. Jabil, however, issued a warning hiss, sending a clear message with his menacing gaze to keep their distance.

"Easy, boy… Stop threatening lowly beasts." Kent hissed while tickling the hood of Jabil.

Jabil shook his hood, rising high, equal to Kent\'s height. "Master, you are feeding some good food today. By any chance, are you planning something? Jabil asked with a scrutinizing look.

"I\'m not planning anything. We are going back to the Eternal Sun Sect today. But I need you to carry me and my new wife during this trip. She can\'t move on her own, that\'s why I want your help." Kent replied in a hissing voice and with an awkward smile.

"What?! Why did you marry her if she can\'t move?" Jabil hissed with a confused look.

"Because I like her. She is very beautiful and lovable. Also, I can cure her soon." Kent replied, pushing food in between the front teeth of Jabil.

"Whatever... for the sake of good food, I will help you this one time." Jabil hissed in a depressed tone.

"Nice pets, where did you buy them?" As he was deep in conversation with his pets, a loud voice suddenly interrupted him. It was Su Yang, Amelia\'s father, who had approached quietly from behind.

Kent turned around, a smile spreading across his face. "Father-in-law, these are not just pets, they\'re my companions. This is Jabil, the serpent beast. He chose to follow me for the promise of good food," he explained, scratching Jabil affectionately behind his scales. "And this is Kavi, the Fire Kirin, who acknowledged me as his master." Kent explained enthusiastically.

Su Yang looked at the creatures, then sighed deeply, a mix of resignation and skepticism in his eyes. Instead of feeling surprised, Su Yang felt disappointed after hearing Kent\'s answer. Kent noticed the change in expression but chose to focus on feeding Kavi, who nuzzled his hand eagerly.

"As expected, he can\'t even afford some good pets," Su Yang thought to himself, though his face remained impassive. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small storage ring, extending it towards Kent.

Kent paused, his hand mid-air with a piece of fruit. "What is this, father-in-law?" he asked, puzzled by the unexpected gesture.

"A gift for taking care of my daughter in the future," Su Yang replied in a serious tone. "Don\'t worry, I will give you more if needed. I don\'t know why my daughter chose you, but as a father, it is my duty to ensure her well-being."

Even though Kent hesitated, he accepted the storage ring to the satisfaction of Su Yang. Without checking the contents, Kent placed the storage ring into his Pegasus bracelet, a gesture of respect to accept but not scrutinize the gift in front of Su Yang.

But Su Yang gritted his teeth in irritation after seeing Kent\'s action. "There are 5,000 spirit stones inside that storage ring, along with rare herbs and valuable ornaments. I know that a healer needs a lot of resources to raise his rank and practice. Don\'t worry, if you take good care of my daughter, the Yang family will support your career.

From now onwards, you are not a poor person." Su Yang replied in a lecturing tone, with a proud face.

Kent just bowed his head and thanked Su Yang for his generosity. Kent decided not to reveal his family background for the time being.

Time passed quickly, and Kent readied Amelia with new clothes and ornaments. While carrying her in both hands, Kent mounted the serpent beast. Su Yang\'s eyes turned moist as he waved his hand towards Amelia, who is leaving the Yang family residence. After a decade, she finally got the chance to see the open world while flying high in the air.

While flying in the air, Amelia continued to ask a lot of questions. Kent replied patiently while caressing her long hair.

"Why do I feel like you are not commanding your pet? Is this pet any special?" Amelia asked with a questioning look.

"It\'s not a pet. His name is Jabil. He is a free-willed beast who is following me for good food. He knew the entire path, so we don\'t need to command him. Give him some good food, he might even work for you as a pet." Kent replied with a smiling face.

Hearing Kent\'s sentence, Jabil hissed angrily with an unwilling look.

"Is that also your pet?" Amelia asked while staring at the Fire Kirin, who was following them closely with blazing fires.

"Yeah, her name is Kavi. After your recovery, you can ride on her." Kent replied to her while tossing a spirit fruit to Kavi.

Inside the Eternal Sun Sect, all the peak masters and several senior elders began moving towards the central administration hall of the Eternal Sun Sect. Peak Master Shreya also moved towards the gathering.

The main agenda of this gathering is to select the three disciples who are going to enter the inheritance ground.
