SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

At first, the long hair girl took everyone into the thick, bushy garden, where they began changing clothes. As the lady asked Kent to wait, he stood at a distance, thinking of ways to get out of this situation without leaving clues.

With the command of the long-haired girl, the 17 girls chose a different path and rushed towards the venue of the Heavenly Beast Gathering. Thankfully, all the servants of the Chen family were busy looking after the arrangements for the gathering.

"Benefactor, please come here." The long-haired girl gestured at Kent in a whispering tone.

As Kent approached her, the girl requested that Kent remove his shirt to clean his wound. Like a professional healer, she cleaned the dagger wound and inserted a few needles around the wound area. As she began muttering the healing spell, the wound recovered at a visible pace.

The long-haired girl's gaze lingered over Kent's smooth, muscular body as she helped Kent wear a new shirt.

"Benefactor, I don't know how to repay your life-saving grace. But I can only give you this to show my sincerity. Please accept it." The long-haired girl said while giving a thick stack of palm leaves, tied like a booklet.

As Kent observed closely, he saw the spell engravings on each palm leaf. The top leaf contains a title in bold letters.

"Tome of destruction and restoration."

"What is this?" Kent questioned while hurriedly walking towards the gathering, along with the long-haired girl.

"This tome contains healing spells and a potion-making guide. It is a rare collection." The long-haired girl replied while following Kent at a close distance.

Soon, they reached the gathering and mixed up with the crowd. As Kent picked up the wine glass, that long-haired lady held Kent's arm. Kent accompanied her till they crossed the Chen family estate.

"Thank you, benefactor. I will forever remember this favor." The long-haired girl replied with an earnest look.

After waving good-bye, Kent came to the gathering and began searching for Lucy. As the patriarch's speech was already over, the people moved towards the edges, where several stalls lined up.

Even after searching for five moments, Kent's didn't find Lucy. Just as he was feeling impatient, Kent heard the loud cry of his fire, Kirin.

As he turned back, Kent saw his firekirin in the distance, who was breathing fire with an unwilling cry. Lucy, who stood before a large pet stall, is struggling to calm down the firekirin. A mob of people gathered around to see what was going on.

Kent hurriedly walked towards the Fire Kirin while pushing the crowd aside. The firekirin instantly calmed down after seeing Kent.

"Where did you go till now?" Lucy questioned with an angry glare.

"Sorry, I got mixed up in the crowd." Kent replied with an awkward smile while rubbing the Fire Kirin's back.

"Sister, is he the master of this fire, Kirin?" An eye-capturing beauty who stood close to Lucy asked while observing Kent curiously.

The lady is definitely a charming beauty. With a serene countenance framed by waves of brown hair, she stared at Kent with her warm eyes glowed with the spark of intellect. Adorned in flowing robes of azure, she possesses grace and poise, her presence exuding an aura of quiet confidence and scholarly charm.

"Yes, he is the owner of this headstrong pet." Lucy replied with a sharp retort. She felt more irritation after finding out about the new shirt Kent was wearing.

"Lady, don't blame this beautiful creature. Also, it is very rare to see a person who owns a Fire Kirin without a blood contract." A middle-aged man who stood with the scholarly girl, spoke in a wise tone.

With one look, Kent immediately recognized the middle-aged man. He is the patriarch of the Chen family and gave a long speech before the beginning of this pet gathering.

Kent exchanged a nod with the middle-aged man and moved close to Lucy. "Sorry, Lucy, I shouldn't have left you alone. I went to change my clothes as someone accidentally spilled wine." Kent said in a loud tone with an awkward laugh.

The tight brows of Lucy got relaxed after hearing his excuse. Putting on a sulky face, she turned towards the patriarch.

"Kent, meet the patriarch of the Chen family and his daughter Sophia." Lucy said while introducing Kent to the Chen family patriarch, who got attracted to the Fire Kirin.

Kent bowed in respect and said, "I feel honored to meet the great man who arranged this beautiful gathering."

"Hahaha, young man, I'm the honored one. My family has been conducting this gathering for several decades. But I never encountered a person who could command a wild beast without a blood contract." The patriarch replied with hearty laughter while pointing at Kent's fire Kirin.

"Father, did this mean the Fire Kirin chose Kent because of his good Dao heart?" Sophia, who wore a long princess cap, was questioned while standing close to Lucy.

"Sophie, a good Dao heart alone won't suffice to master a spirit beast. One should also have a strong fate. This handsome young man definitely has both. That is why a primal spirit beast like Fire Kirin chose him as its master." The patriarch replied in a loud tone.

A surprise hush fell over the crowd who were listening to the patriarch. Even Lucy and Sophia were staring at Kent with open eyes.

Just as the patriarch tried to approach the Fire Kirin of Kent, a servant approached him and said something in the patriarch's ear.

"Sophie, I have an urgent matter to attend to. Please stay here and look after the arrangements." The patriarch instructed Sophia and hurriedly left, following the servant.

Immediately after the patriarch left, a few members of the crowd surrounded Kent and began introducing themselves.

"Young Man, I'm the deputy master of City governance."

"Young Master Kent, I'm the owner of Start Light Inn. Nice to meet you."

"Mr. Kent, my family owns the restaurant business in the capital city. Please contact me if you ever need to try some delicious food. story source m vl e mp yr

The crowd continued to introduce themselves while competing with others. With an artificial smile, Kent greeted everyone with a respectful smile.

Finally, Sophia and Lucy held Kent's hands and dragged him away from the crowd.
