The Pyro Hound was just about to jump out from the contract space when it saw a familiar face. The Pyro Hound's pupils shrank and its four paws came to a halt, trying to shrink back into the contract space.
However, the contract space was controlled by the master's mind. The Pyro Hound had no control over it. The Pyro Hound was spat out and fell to the ground.
Zhang Baoxing was a bit embarrassed to see the Pyro Hound in such a sorry state. He was wondering why his Pyro Hound was acting so strangely when it came to Su Ping.
Su Ping threw a glance at the Pyro Hound that was lying on the ground, begging for mercy. He had received the money and he had to be responsible for it. Begging for mercy would not do him any good.
"You must be familiar with the place. Go by yourself." Su Ping's voice was transmitted to the Pyro Hound.
Two lines of tears ran down from the Pyro Hound's eyes. The Pyro Hound turned around and threw a resentful look at its stupid master. Hanging its head, the Pyro Hound slowly walked to the pet room in the depths of the store.
Zhang Baoxing was relieved to see his beloved pet so excited. Sure enough, the money for the training was worth it.
"Next," Su Ping said.
The young man in the second place stepped forward excitedly. "Sir, do you remember me? I was here for training before."
Su Ping darted him a glance. "No."
Lu Pengfei was embarrassed. He was a famous student at the academy. He didn't expect that he would be rejected by Su Ping. But he soon forgot about it. After all, Su Ping was an advanced teacher at the academy. It wasn't embarrassing for Su Ping not to remember him.
"I'm still training the Forest Mirage Deer." Lu Pengfei smiled.
He summoned his pet. Previously, his Forest Illusion Deer had learned control skills of the plant family from Su Ping, which had increased his ranking on the academy's combat strength ranking. His reputation had also increased a bit.
As soon as the Forest Mirage Deer saw Su Ping, it shrieked and hid behind Lu Pengfei, trembling.
Lu Pengfei could tell that the Forest Mirage Deer was afraid of shrinking back.
Of course, he thought it was normal. Su Ping's training method must have been too strict, which was why the Forest Mirage Deer had suffered. But it was also because of this that the Forest Mirage Deer's potential was forced out and it had become so outstanding.
"Good boy, don't be afraid." Lu Pengfei patted the Forest Mirage Deer and comforted it.
It was natural for the Forest Mirage Deer to suffer a little. How could it not suffer when it wanted to become stronger?
The Forest Mirage Deer cried at Lu Pengfei as if it were complaining. But it couldn't speak; it could only tell that it was anxious and scared.
Lu Pengfei understood and continued to comfort the Forest Mirage Deer.
Su Ping noticed that the Forest Mirage Deer had wasted too much time. He darted another meaningful look at the Forest Mirage Deer.
The Forest Illusion Deer was still trying to persuade its master to leave this place. However, the Forest Illusion Deer trembled when it saw Su Ping looking at it. It quieted down at once, but there was a hint of despair in its eyes.
"Go and find your own place," Su Ping said indifferently.
The Forest Mirage Deer lowered its head and slowly walked to the pet room.
Lu Pengfei was relieved to see that the Forest Mirage Deer had finally settled down. He cast an apologetic look to the people behind him, transferred the money to Su Ping, and moved the Forest Mirage Deer to the side.
Then the third and fourth customers …
Most of the returning pets were scared when they saw Su Ping. After all, Su Ping's training methods had left a deep impression on them.
The pets that were sent to Su Ping's store for training for the first time were curious about everything around them and would look around.
The line reached the roadside outside the store. While Su Ping was paying for the pets, someone sneaked up to him. It was Su Lingyue.
She wondered if her eyes were playing tricks on her when she saw the long line. She checked the Pixie Pet Store's signboard several times to make sure that she was right. Only then did she realize that this was her store.
Since when was the store so popular?
Soon, she noticed that all the customers in Su Ping's store were her classmates from the academy.
Su Lingyue remembered Su Ping's lecture the day before. Su Ping's fame must have attracted those people.
"Hey, isn't that Su Lingyue?"
Su Lingyue poked her head into the store. The other students in the line also recognized this sneaky person and were surprised.
After all, Su Lingyue was the champion of the first-year students in the academy. She was quite famous. It was not surprising that someone recognized her.
Su Lingyue was startled to hear someone calling her name. Her hair stood on end. She made a shushing gesture. When she came back to her senses, she felt embarrassed.
She cleared her throat and straightened her posture. She was as cold and arrogant as she had been in the academy. She deliberately lowered her voice and said, "I'm just passing by and just looking around. What are you doing here?"
"You don't know?" A female student was surprised. "This is Mr. Su's pet store. I heard that Mr. Su has pets trained. I heard that Su Yanying's Lightning Rat was trained here."
"Lightning Rat? Trained? "
Su Lingyue was surprised.
She didn't know that Su Ping was related to the Lightning Rat.
All of a sudden, she remembered how Su Ping had choked on his food when she asked her mom to buy a Lightning Rat …
She blushed and felt her cheeks were burning. At the same time, she threw a dirty look at Su Ping who was collecting the fees. She was filled with hatred. That guy must have been making fun of her!
But she came back to her senses after her anger subsided. That Lightning Rat's performance was not average. How could a dabbler like Su Ping have trained it? Not even her mom, who had the certificate of a trainer, could do that.
"Did you make a mistake?" Su Lingyue asked.
The girl shook her head. "I don't think so. Didn't you see that Lu Pengfei is here as well? I heard that he has been here several times."
"Lu Pengfei?" Su Lingyue took a look. She had an impression of the name. He was a senior in the upper grade and he was ranked on the combat strength list.
"Yes. Many people have been here before. They won't come again if the training doesn't work," another male student said. Another male classmate also said. They were first-timers, so they were at the back of the queue and arrived relatively late.
Su Lingyue found it strange. It was already incredible that Su Ping could become an advanced teacher in their academy. She would never believe that Su Ping could train Lightning Rats.
"I heard that there is a top master trainer in Mr. Su's store," another male student said.
Su Lingyue's eyes widened. A top master trainer was in her store?
How come she didn't know that?
Besides, how could her family hire a top master trainer?
She peeked into the store, full of doubts. If there were no top master trainers in the store, then the Lightning Rat thing would have to be fake. But if there were, then it didn't make sense.
All of a sudden, she realized that she hadn't paid attention to her useless brother for a long time. She didn't even know him well.
"Miss Su, do you want to wait in line? I can give you space." A male student approached her and put on a smile that he thought was handsome.
Su Lingyue shook her head. "No need."
With that said, she took a few steps away from the line, in case Su Ping would accidentally look up and see her.
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, the line had shrunk by more than half.
While the number of people was decreasing, more students arrived. It was the weekend and many students were resting at home. They had plenty of time.
Su Lingyue stood under a tree to the side of the store, observing the situation inside. She was both curious and excited to see the endless stream of customers.
She could make tens of thousands of coins a day with so many customers. Su Lingyue was excited.
Soon, Su Lingyue saw some familiar faces among the students in the back. Su Yanying, who had been on the same stage as Su Ping in the exhibition match, was there as well.
Su Yanying's appearance had stirred up the atmosphere. Some students who had heard the rumor were convinced that the rumor had been verified when Su Yanying showed up in person. Their eyes were filled with even more eagerness and anticipation.
