Chapter 92: Revealing the Truth
Chapter 92: Revealing the Truth
Feng Baili and the others standing by the side were speechless. Inside, they called Dong Mingsong an old fox. What was done couldn’t be undone. Nothing they could say could change that fact. They were jealous of how fortunate Dong Mingsong was. Given Su Ping’s talents and abilities, his future achievements would be unlimited, provided he didn’t die an early death. It was most likely that he could become a titled battle pet warrior. By then, the academy could boast about how they had a teacher with titles giving lectures there.
This alone could enable the Phoenix Peak Academy to rise by one or two ranks amongst the seven famous schools in the Base City. This was a long-term plan.
Luo Guxue was happy since Su Ping had agreed. This way, she and Su Ping would be coworkers and she could meet him in the future.
Su Yanying had become numb to this shocking news.
The information revealed by Su Ping was increasingly surprising. She had become immune to this. He had the strength to kill monsters of the eighth-rank, which made him more than capable to be an advanced teacher. She just didn’t expect that Su Ping, who she had been dealing with as her equal, had become her teacher, and of the most advanced level no less. Ye Hao and the other students would be boiling with anger once they learned of this.
After all, Su Ping was too young. It would be logical for him to be a junior fellow student.
But now, he was going to teach her...
Su Yanying’s mouth twitched at the thought. All of a sudden, she felt lucky that she was in grade three and about to graduate. Otherwise, if she would have to face such a young teacher every day; with such a daily reminder, all her confidence would be lost.
Feng Baili and the others bade farewell since they had nothing else to do there. He was once again invited by Dong Mingsong; Su Ping returned to his office with Luo Guxue with Su Yanying following them silently.
They sat down on the sofa. With quite the zeal, Dong Mingsong poured Su Ping a cup of tea and then handed him the contract his assistant had printed out.
Su Ping could feel Dong Mingsong’s passion and sincerity. After a careful read of the contract and without finding any issues, Su Ping signed it.
Dong Mingsong put away the contract and said with a smile, “Mr. Su, you can begin your lessons next week.”
“Of course.” Su Ping nodded.
Dong Mingsong went on, “I will have someone register your information at once. But it will be a few days before you can have your ID.”
Su Ping was in no rush. He had another question, “When and where can I have a look at the advanced cultivation methods and skills for battle pet warriors?”
“In the academy’s second library.” Dong Mingsong continued, smiling, “You can go there at any time, even right now. But since you don’t have your teacher’s ID yet, if you want to go, I will let those in charge know you’ll go there.”
It was getting darker. Su Ping didn’t wish to visit at the moment. There was cultivation and other things he had to do. He could wait for a couple more days.
After they exchanged some pleasantries, Su Ping left the building. Not long afterward, he had reached the stadium. From the distance, he could already see the glaring and flickering colorful lights above the stadium. The paths on the campus were crowded with students. The matches had come to an end. People were exiting the stadium at the moment, therefore, every corner of the campus was filled with students.
Su Yanying followed him. She looked up at Su Ping from behind and asked, “Do you want to go to the stadium to advertise some more?”
Su Ping shook his head. “No. The Vice Principal’s promotion is enough for me.”
He was worried about being potentially unable to find enough time for training pets, if too many students approached him. After all, he was just one person. There was no one to help him. The only thing he could do was to train several pets at the same time but that would be too much pressure on his spirit.
Su Yanying walked Su Ping out of the campus. After Su Ping left, Su Yanying turned around quietly. However, her mind was unable to settle down.
It was late. Su Ping called a taxi and went home directly. He didn’t want to bother going back to the store. There wasn’t much of a business at the moment. No promotion could generate an effect that quickly.
He got out of the taxi and went inside. His mother was watching TV in the living room. That arrogant sister of his was nowhere to be seen. Most likely she was still at school. Li Qingru was surprised by Su Ping’s early return. Li Qingru asked nervously, “How come you’re home so early? Has anything happened to the store?”
“No. I went to watch her match, then I came back directly from her school,” Su Ping answered. The truth would be revealed when his sister returned anyways.
“You went to see your sister’s match?” Li Qingru was taken aback. She didn’t think that Su Ping would care about this. Usually, he wouldn’t go even if she asked.
Su Ping felt embarrassed, “What’s with your tone?”
Li Qingru rolled her eyes at him grumpily and posed another question, “Why did you come back alone? Where’s your sister?”
Su Ping found an excuse, “She wanted to hang out for a bit longer.”
“You two...” Li Qingru was speechless. “Are you hungry? If not, wait for your sister to come back.”
“Okay.” Su Ping agreed. He was just about to go upstairs when he sensed that presence. Su Ping raised his eyebrows. He walked back from the staircase and then went to the living room to sit down. He began to watch TV with keen pleasure.
The door was opened. It was Su Lingyue that stepped in. Her eyes opened wide the moment she saw Su Ping sitting on the couch. “Why are you here? Did you come directly from the school?”
“What? Should I have taken a detour?”
Su Lingyue scolded him, “Why didn’t you go to the store?”
Su Ping was surprised. “How did you know I wasn’t there?”
“Because I waited for you there for a long time!” said Su Lingyue, fuming with rage. Her exhibition match had ended long before. After the conclusion of the exhibition match between the third year’s first and second place, she wanted to find Su Ping at once to ask him about everything. However, Su Ping had been dragged away by the school leaders with Su Yanying. She couldn’t find a chance to search for Su Ping so she had to leave school by herself. She called a taxi and headed to the store. She thought that since it was only after seven once the matches were over, Su Ping would have to go back to the store. There were some matters Su Lingyue wished to discuss with him in private. At home, their mom would be able to hear their conversation.
Only, she waited there for two hours.
She saw it was late and went home, only to see Su Ping was already there.
“You waited for me?” Su Ping asked while knowing the answer. He added with confusion on his face, “Why were you waiting for me?”
Su Lingyue ground her teeth with hatred. “What do you think?”
“How should I know?”
Su Lingyue stared at him. “Do you have astral power?”
There was no concealing the truth. So, Su Ping nodded and admitted it readily.
“Really?” Su Lingyue’s pupils contracted. She only realized this possibility when she saw how Su Ping was the first to be freed from the Frigid Brine. The likelihood of someone awakening later in life was slim but there would always be someone lucky and favored by heaven. It was just that God had been too blind and blessed her despicable brother by mistake.
Li Qingru was startled. She could not help but ask, “What did you just say? Do you have astral power? You, have you awakened?” Filled with nervousness and excitement, Li Qingru was shivering. Even though the achievement that came with acquired awakening was limited, he was a battle pet warrior nonetheless. He could support himself no matter how lousy his life may turn out to be.
Su Ping scratched his head. “It was by accident. It has been some time.”
Su Lingyue squinted her eyes. He had awakened some time before. So, did this guy play dumb all this time? Was he showing weakness to endure hardships so that he could accomplish some ambition?
“Good, this is good.” Li Qingru was so happy that her eyes reddened. She was shedding tears. She wiped her tears away quickly and said, “We have to tell your father about this piece of good news. Anyways, do you have a pet? You have awakened too late in life. You must buy a quality pet. I will go to the market myself tomorrow to pick a pet for you, one with good quality and power of understanding!”
