Su Ping was quite skilled in this regard.
However, this seed to only spark the child’s defiance. He ran up to Su Ping’s side as if he was seeing him for the first ti.
"Who are you? Why do you look down on ?"
Looking at the little kid, Su Ping rembered seeing him once yesterday.
It was near that detached guesthouse.
But even then, he had only glanced at him.
Su Ping clearly had no interest in introducing himself to a little kid.
"Alright, since you know Lu Heng, hurry up and find him. There’s a children’s playground over at Heart of Cloud. Don’t make a fuss here; it’s dangerous!"
"Hey! Stop looking down on people! Are you that good at fishing? Dare to compete with ?"
Seeing that Su Ping wasn’t even willing to face him properly when speaking, the child grew even more furious.
Su Ping was speechless.
He really is a damn troublemaker, Su Ping though. Why would I, of all people, compete with this brat? What if Shangguan Ye saw ? Eventually, everyone in the Breeder circles of Jianghai and Linzhou might spread a new rumor: that this Genius Breeder is an oddity who punches out seniors in Nanshan Nursing Ho and kicks around toddlers in Beihai Kindergarten.
Especially in this Beastmaster Society, where the Nanshan Nursing Ho might have a one-in-a-billion chance of housing a reclusive master, whereas in the Beihai Kindergarten, it was certain to be a definite beatdown.
This was the kind of ss where winning was embarrassing, and losing was even more so. He would have to be out of his mind to agree to it.
Speechless, Su Ping glanced at Xiao Fang. Xiao Fang seed to have no idea what to do, just watching like a bystander as this little rascal shouted provocations. This made Su Ping silently curse: When I get back, I’m telling Lao Guan to dock this completely oblivious fellow’s entire bonus for the month!
"Okay, I admit defeat, is that good enough? You leave first, and once I’m done with the guests, I’ll go and have a word with Lu Heng."
However, the child certainly showed no sign of giving up and angrily retorted, "Just admitting defeat is enough? You need to apologize to ! Otherwise, let’s have a fishing contest!"
Su Ping took a deep breath before he finally said, exasperated, "Fine, fine, I apologize. I shouldn’t have looked down on you! You’re the best, okay? Can you leave quietly now?"
As he spoke, he inwardly resolved, That damned Lu Heng won’t be seeing his bonus this month either!
However, Su Ping, who was internally fuming, did not see the child’s resentful gaze: Aren’t you a Genius Breeder? Aren’t geniuses supposed to be proud? Why are you apologizing to a little kid like ? Hurry up and fight for three hundred rounds! Then, after you lose, I can finally state my condition—the Dreamheart Helt, damn it!
So, the child added more fuel to the fire. "What’s with that tone? Are you trying to placate a three-year-old? I’ll have you know, I’m already a twelve-year-old man! Not a little kid! Why are you so scared to compete with ? Afraid of being embarrassed by losing?"
Su Ping was fed up. If it weren’t for the fact that the fishing platform at Heart of Water was busy and many of the people there were important figures from Linzhou, Su Ping would have wanted to just pick up this brat and toss him into the river to cool off.
At the sa ti, Su Ping was truly provoked, stating directly, "Fine, then tell , how does this great young man want to compete?"
"It’s obviously about comparing the value and number of fish caught within a set ti! If I win, you have to agree to one condition! Don’t worry, it’ll be sothing simple for you! And I won’t ask you to agree for nothing!"
"Fine, fine. If you lose, you leave Heart of Water imdiately and head to the children’s playground. If you keep being stubborn, I’ll have soone forcibly take you away!"
As for the conditions and simple tasks, not to ntion not agreeing to anything for nothing, Su Ping didn’t take any of it seriously. All he wanted was to get this troubleso kid out of there.
Although he couldn’t understand the brash confidence of this little rascal, Su Ping had no other choice. He couldn’t really resort to force.
It would only be more of a bother if this little thing started crying and making a scene.
After all, Lu Heng was soone he valued greatly, being in charge of Forest Wolf training and security.
It was best to just win against this kid quickly and send him on his way.
Many onlookers had already noticed the commotion. Even Xu Li, the director from the Fire King Company who had previously accompanied Su Ping to the western suburbs, was clearly among them, laughing heartily as he said, "Su Ping, this has got to be the most shocking contest I’ve seen this year! Go for it! I’m rooting for you!"
Su Ping’s expression darkened. This old geezer, having not gained much from the last incident with the Fire King Company in the western suburbs, seed to have found an opportunity now.
However, Su Ping couldn’t be bothered with this old man who couldn’t take a joke. It was clear to any discerning observer that Su Ping was rely doing this to make the little brat concede and leave him alone.
So, under Shangguan Ye’s barely suppressed laughter, two adults and a child, under the gaze of countless people, ca to the water’s edge of the fishing platform.
A fishing contest that seed bizarre no matter how you looked at it was about to begin.
