Contestant Area.
Qiao Sang found her designated seat, and just as she sat down, she heard a greeting from the person next to her:
"What a coincidence, we’re sitting together again."
Qiao Sang turned her head and realized it was Rong Yuhua, the contestant who had sat next to her last ti. She gave a polite smile:
"It is quite a coincidence."
Lowering his voice, Rong Yuhua asked:
"I saw online that your Qingfeng Nini has evolved, is that true?"
Before asking, he already had an answer in his heart; he just wanted to use this topic to start a conversation.
Generally speaking, topics about the strength of pet beasts between contestants are subconsciously avoided.
Even if they end up talking about it, it’s either because the pet beast has already been deployed, and its strength is sowhat apparent, so everyone knows what they need to know.
Or because they feel that their pet beast’s strength is such that even if discussed, it wouldn’t matter much.
Or it’s just a casual ask and answer; if you believe it, that’s your own business.
Qiao Sang’s situation was sowhat special. The pet beast he was interested in, even if it evolved, would only be a High Level Pet Beast, certainly not appearing in the competition arena. So it wasn’t like probing for strength, and Rong Yuhua talked about it without any reservations.
"It evolved," Qiao Sang nodded.
Rong Yuhua’s eyes lit up, then he thought of sothing and asked:
"Do you live in Zhongshui Mansion?"
Zhongshui Mansion, the na of the residence where Yu Ke lives.
"No," Qiao Sang shook her head, "a friend of mine lives there."
After saying this, she asked: "How do you know about this place?"
Did the paparazzi even leak the detailed location of the training place?
"I have a friend living there," Rong Yuhua replied, "The video of Qingfeng Nini evolving captured the layout of the training ground. My friend texted , saying it’s the sa place he lives in."
After a pause, he asked: "Others will soon figure out your training location, are you planning to switch to a new place to train?"
Qiao Sang: "???"
If it’s discovered, you have to switch locations, is it that serious?
Qiao Sang pondered for a few seconds and said: "All the remaining training grounds in Tian’an City have been fully booked on the sa day by soone, so I can’t switch locations."
That soone is ... Rong Yuhua fell silent instantly.
After a dozen seconds, he finally spoke up, saying what he had wanted to say earlier: "Do you want to train at my place? I have several vacant properties in Tian’an City."
If he were a B-level Beastmaster, even with a slight chance of defeating Qiao Sang, he would never offer her a training place, but now he’s just a C-level Beast Tar, and becoming her opponent offers no chance of winning.
In that case, he might as well build a good relationship.
Qiao Sang glanced at him and declined:
"No need, I’m fine training at my friend’s place."
Compared to fellow contestant Rong Yuhua, she naturally trusted Yu Ke, with whom she had a beneficial relationship, more.
Because Rong Yuhua had booked all the remaining training grounds in Tian’an City, out of guilt, he didn’t say much more.
...
Family Area.
Ye Xiangting had already beco the center of this area.
Almost everyone was surrounding her, chattering away.
"Qiao Sang’s mom, is that video online real?"
"Did Qingfeng Nini really evolve into Qingyin Fairy?"
"Can we exchange contact information?"
"You ca all the way from the Yuhua Region to watch the match, you probably haven’t had the chance to explore the Zhongkong Region much yet. After the match, why don’t you bring Qiao Sang along, and I’ll show you around Zhongkong Region."
Ye Xiangting skillfully responded to each person:
"I don’t know, I haven’t been online much... I’m not sure, Qiao Sang has been out training, and doesn’t call ho much. I only found out she beca a B-level Beastmaster when I ca to watch the competition... Of course... Sure, I’ll ask Qiao Sang when the ti cos, see if she has ti."
Liu Yao listened quietly to the conversation from the side.
The uncle next to him, who also appeared silent and reserved, asked:
"Are you Qiao Sang’s dad?"
Liu Yao replied succinctly: "No."
The uncle asked curiously: "Then who are you?"
Liu Yao, not revealing his identity as a researcher, answered modestly: "I suppose I’m her high school teacher."
The uncle’s eyes lit up, and he asked:
"Which high school?"
Liu Yao replied: "Holy Water High School."
The uncle further asked: "Is Qiao Sang still attending?"
"No, she has already been admitted early into a university," Liu Yao said.
The uncle, gossip-loving as ever, asked: "Which university?"
Liu Yao didn’t hesitate: "Imperial Beastmaster Academy."
The uncle was stunned for a second, but then it seed completely plausible. He quickly took out his phone to spread the gossip he’d just learned in the "One Big Happy Family" group:
