The Iron Winged Green Pigeon had a habit of screeching intensely as soon as it appeared.

However, Hu Tao forcibly curbed the habit of the Iron Winged Green Pigeon, causing its wings to encircle Fang Mu.

She then made a prohibiting gesture with the index finger of her left hand and the ring finger of her right hand towards the people around them.

This prohibiting gesture was an internationally recognized gesture, created jointly by several Grandmaster Creators of the Ten-thousand Nations Federation.

It was said that the Shuoyang Grandmaster of the Dragon Rising Federation also participated in its creation.

When performed in a public area, this gesture indicated that someone nearby was comprehending a Mysterious Pattern and was in a state of Epiphany.

A Beast Master comprehending Mysterious Patterns would be in a state of Epiphany for, at most, a few minutes.

This period was reckoned as the most vulnerable time for a Beast Master.

If interrupted, it would waste the hard-won opportunity.

Under normal circumstances, other Beast Masters, upon seeing such a universal gesture, would accommodate the individual.

After all, who can assure they would never need such a moment themselves?

Yet, this girl had summoned her Guardian Beast to protect the young man beside her, thus breaking the rules of the nearby traders’ association.

In effect, she had slighted the face of the traders’ association.

Normally, summoning a Guardian Beast at Fountain Square to prevent someone comprehending Mysterious Patterns from being disturbed would not matter at all.

But doing so on the grounds of the traders’ association’s product display was likely to be perceived as a provocation.

The traders’ association had been developing rapidly over these few months, and it was clear to the discerning observer that they had been trying to establish their authority.

Previously, the traders’ association had picked troubles with other trading houses, but those houses had not responded.

This prevented the traders’ association from successfully continuing their behavior to establish authority.

However, given its significant size and wealth, the traders’ association likely wouldn’t trouble a young girl who had not yet reached adulthood.

Just then, a series of light laughter rang out not far from Hu Tao.

“Dragon Bro, your traders’ association’s presence isn’t as big as you claimed!”

“I just arrived at Fountain Square and saw someone summoning a Guardian Beast.”

“Wow, the young lad comprehending Mysterious Patterns is quite handsome; he must be a top student from Jinghai High School for Beast Masters, right!?”

“Last time auntie visited my house, she said you were also going to comprehend Mysterious Patterns, Dragon Bro, I don’t know if you were successful or not!?”

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao’s face stiffened, showing a look of panic and nervousness.

She had not expected to encounter a member of the traders’ association here.

It seemed that the young man present held some position within the traders’ association, otherwise, he would not be standing with six or seven attendants from the traders’ association.

He was extremely careful, his demeanor exceptionally respectful.

At the same time, Hu Tao’s forehead furrowed, sensing a provoking tone in the woman’s words.

What did she mean by saying the traders’ association’s presence wasn’t that big?

She had summoned the Guardian Beast fearing that Fang Mu might be disturbed, not with any intention of provoking the traders’ association.

Compared to Hu Tao’s family, the traders’ association was an enormous entity.

Even if she were insane, Hu Tao would not dare to trouble the traders’ association.

Hu Tao was somewhat shocked by Fang Mu’s comprehension ability, as he had managed to comprehend a Mysterious Rune with such ease.

Yet, this woman was using the issue of Fang Mu comprehending a Mysterious Pattern to provoke the young man nearby.

Hu Tao had already seen the young man’s face turn cold.

Just as Hu Tao was about to look away, she noticed that her gaze met the young man’s.

A sinister look flashed through the young man’s eyes.

This young man wouldn’t be swayed into disrupting Fang Mu’s comprehension of the Mysterious Pattern, would he?

In Fang Mu’s spiritual world, a stream of water emerged, deeply buried underground.

It continuously rotated, trying to burst through the ground and leap into the sky.

The stream was growing larger and the force stronger, showing a tendency to break through the surface.

But to truly break through the ground still needed some incubation.

Fang Mu sighed inwardly, thinking that this probably counted as an unsuccessful comprehension of a Mysterious Pattern.

Feeling the scene emerging in his spiritual world, Fang Mu thought that if this Mysterious Rune were to be condensed, it would fit very well with the Gemini of Lake Flame.

Just as Fang Mu regretted, Xi Xi’s voice resonated in his mind.

“Fang Mu, Xi Xi has already applied ‘Sealed Landscape’ to the previous scene!”

“Give Xi Xi some time, Xi Xi can help you condense the ‘Scenery Fantasy Pearl’ of the scene you just witnessed!”

Fang Mu felt a surge of joy upon hearing this.

Xi Xi’s Skill [Sealed Landscape] could definitely be regarded as the best assistance for a Beast Master comprehending mysterious patterns.

Just as Fang Mu was about to open his eyes, a shout like thunder exploded beside his ear.

“If you want to comprehend mysterious patterns, just stay obediently at home. What are you doing at our coastal Chamber’s product exhibition!?”

“This Little Bichi broke the rules. Take down the wings of her lousy bird, and throw both her and the bird out of Fountain Square!”

“Put the two of them on the coastal Chamber’s blacklist, they are no longer allowed on any properties held by our Chamber.”

“Otherwise, every time I spot them, I’ll give them a beating!”

Hu Tao had no experience handling such matters, but with Fang Mu by her side, she adopted a combative stance.

She even unleashed her spiritual power to summon her Guardian Beast, the Bird Armor Puppet.

Being thrown out hurt, but these people would not dare hurt her Iron Winged Green Pigeon too severely.

Otherwise, she could report this incident to the School, and the School would indeed step in to resolve the issue!

What Hu Tao needed to do now was wait for Fang Mu to come to his senses.

Hu Tao was somewhat anxious, uncertain if the young man’s shout had affected Fang Mu who was next to her, engrossed in comprehending the mysterious pattern.

At that moment, Hu Tao felt a firm and warm hand on her shoulder.

Then, the figure of a young man stepped in front of her.

“Sounds like you can represent the coastal Chamber, the coastal Chamber indeed has great influence!”

“Fountain Square is a famous sight in JA City. Just because we lent it to you for an expo, it doesn’t mean it’s your turf!”

“I’m a ranked Scavenger.”

“Affecting a Scavenger’s comprehension of mysterious patterns in unnecessary circumstances requires an explanation from your Chamber!”

Fang Mu brought Hu Tao to the expo to pick spiritual materials, not intending to attract too much attention.

Fang Mu felt that just by bringing up his status as a Scavenger, the other party would back off.

Before he became a Scavenger, Fang Mu held them in high regard.

After becoming a Scavenger, Fang Mu’s respect for them remained unchanged.

Fang Mu just wanted to quickly resolve this farce, and then help Hu Tao pick spiritual materials.

Actually, Fang Mu didn’t need to come to the coastal Chamber’s expo at all.

He came here mainly because he knew Hu Tao enjoyed lively atmospheres.

With Fang Mu’s resources, finding spiritual materials was an easy task.

If Fang Mu let the word out, the top ten chambers of the Dragon Rising Federation would compete to present rare spiritual materials before him.

The young man’s loud shout had not affected his comprehension of the mysterious pattern.

Otherwise, even if he could have comprehended the pattern through Xi Xi’s Skill [Sealed Landscape], Fang Mu would not have remained as calm as he was now.

Upon hearing Fang Mu’s words, surprise appeared on the faces of those around.

No one expected that Fang Mu, at such a young age, had already become a ranked Scavenger!

It’s not easy to rise to a rank among Scavengers and become a formal member!

However, no one in the crowd doubted Fang Mu’s words.

Because in the Dragon Rising Federation, impersonating a Scavenger was a serious crime, one that could lead to legal consequences.

But the coastal Chamber was notorious for its arrogance, especially towards those without a powerful backing.

Originally, these youths being chased out of Fountain Square and their Guardian Beast getting hurt would have been the end of it.

But now, after this threat, how could the young master of the coastal Chamber just let it go?

As soon as Fang Mu finished speaking, a barrage of foul language uncontrollably spilled from the mouth of one called Dragon Less.

Immediately, a large python with two golden stripes on its body lunged towards Fang Mu.

The python’s head had a prominent bump, clearly only a step away from its transformation!
