Ken met the two old men near the stables. There was a whole section filled with beasts belonging exclusively to the Sue Clan, and every elite clan had one of those sections.
"We will move now, only the three of us. We will use the only seventh-rank mount our clan has. Although it's normally good-natured and is not aggressive, try not to irritate it. It can harm you in a fraction second when you ride its back." Fernando warned Ken before he bringing the beast.
"Understood, Uncle."
Fernando walked into the stables and brought out a beast with the body of a tiger and the head of an eagle. Only elders could take seventh-rank beasts from the stables, so he could not leave this task for the stable's boy.
"Calm down, Tygarian. Let them ride on you with me please," Fernando calmed down the beast as it looked down on the other two humans. It did not like serving cultivators weaker than itself.
Geronticide - the act of killing an elderly family member. Normally it's to prevent 'wasting' food on a member that is not productive anymore, but here I used it in a different meaning as you can see.
