The group's renown grew day by day, and along the way, more and more people came up to strike up conversations and try to get on their good side. The most obvious examples were the three Zhang siblings, whose main branch of the family had repeatedly sent people to invite them back, and had even come in person once.
With a single sentence, Zhang Fan put a complete stop to all of that nonsense from the family: "If I may ask the head of the Zhang Clan, are we three siblings even on your family tree? Out of our family of five, isn't Zhang's name the only one on your family tree? You should go look for him instead."
As it turned out, because Zhang Fan showed far too many beastfolk traits after he was born, the clan head had once told his parents a condition: either both husband and wife advanced to the rank of Grand Magus, or all three children advanced to the rank of Magi—otherwise, the mother and her four children would never be allowed on the family tree.
