"Yueyue, your ranking is a bit low."
Inside the Pixie Pet Store, two girls were sitting on a couch in the lounge area. One of them was Su Lingyue, and the other was her good friend, Jiang Xingyu.
In the academy, Jiang Xingyu was a little goddess. Her looks, figure, and family background were all outstanding. Her grades in the academy were not as good as Su Lingyue's but she was one of the best in her grade.
Some time ago, the competition between Primo and the Pixie Pet Store had become a hot topic. Both stores had released some of the names on their lists. For example, the Pixie Pet Store had announced the champion, Su Lingyue.
Some busybodies dug out Su Lingyue's photos and information right away. Because of that, Su Lingyue had gained some fame in the Longjiang Base City. She had attracted a lot of attention.
When they found out that the "arrogant person" who had bought the championship was such a pretty girl, many hot-tempered netizens chose to forgive her …
She was such a lovely girl. Of course, they would forgive her!
Many people even became her fans right away, becoming her loyal fans on the Internet …
At the moment, Su Lingyue and Jiang Xingyu were looking at the overall ranking of the votes on all the platforms.
Su Lingyue's votes were not optimistic. She was at the 82nd place with only over thirty thousand votes.
As for the Top 10, even the ones with the lowest votes had over a million votes!
Su Lingyue blushed when she saw the ranking, especially when she remembered that she had been recommended by Su Ping to be the champion. The fact that she had received such a low number of votes meant that no one took her seriously. They were just here to watch the fun.
This made her feel a little awkward and discouraged.
…
In the distance, Su Ping was behind the counter. His extraordinary constitution allowed him to easily hear the conversation between the two girls. He glanced at them, wiped his hands with the rag in his hand, and wiped the counter. There were no customers at the moment, so he bypassed the counter and walked over.
"Winning the championship depends on strength, not on votes. What's the point of looking at this?" Su Ping grumbled. He sat down on the couch and took a break.
The Elite League was about to begin, but the number of customers in the store was decreasing. After all, the Elite League was about to begin. Many participants were doing their final preparations. Over the past two days, the most popular places were not the pet stores, but the battle stadiums.
Almost every battle hall was filled to the brim, and there were no empty seats.
When Jiang Xingyu saw Su Ping coming over, she looked at him with admiration in her eyes. She had seen Su Ping when he was an advanced teacher in the academy. Such a young teacher was definitely one of a kind. He had become a teacher at the age of a student, and an advanced teacher at that. He was too outstanding.
Later, when the academy was challenged by the Berserking Blade Academy, Su Ping stepped forward bravely and easily defeated the opponent, leaving a deep impression on her. Especially his extraordinary performance of flying through the air, shocking everyone present.
She envied Su Lingyue from the bottom of her heart for having such a brother.
"Why don't you go back and learn from Master Wu? He is a titled battle pet warrior. You can learn from him for the rest of your life," Su Ping said grumpily.
Su Lingyue was surprised. "How do you know that Mr. Wu is …"
She had thought that she was the only one who knew. Usually, when Mr. Wu was late, her mother would ask him to stay for dinner and he would sit at the same table as Su Ping. Su Lingyue thought that Su Ping didn't care about Mr. Wu at all, as if he didn't know how terrifying her teacher could be.
He didn't expect that Su Ping would know!
Why would he treat him like that if he knew?!
Su Ping snorted. "He is only teaching you healing skills, but he is a titled battle pet warrior when it comes to combat strength. You can poach him when you have time. Learn from him and ask him if you don't understand. Not everyone can get a titled battle pet warrior like him as a tutor!"
Su Lingyue was surprised. This guy had never asked about her studies and he wasn't curious about Mr. Wu at all. She didn't know that he knew everything. He even knew what she was learning!
"You …" She stared at Su Ping seriously. All of a sudden, she was suspicious. "Have you been secretly watching me?"
"Get lost!"
"Hmm!"
Su Lingyue turned her head away in a fit of pique.
Jiang Xingyu found the siblings funny. But she only smiled. She looked at Su Ping with a strange glow in her eyes. She felt that this version of Mr. Su was more genuine and approachable.
Su Ping looked at the two glasses of juice on the table and said to them, "Leave after you finish. Go back and practice. Don't slack off at the store."
Su Lingyue turned around and snorted. "Isn't the Moonfrost Dragon with you? How can I practice without a pet? Speaking of which, how are you doing with my Long Chong? I can feel that it is getting more and more golden scales. You're not feeding it hormones, are you? "
Su Ping rolled his eyes grumpily. "I think your brain is on steroids."
"You're the one whose brain is on steroids."
"You're on steroids."
"You're on steroids."
"You're on steroids!"
…
"Okay, we have guests," Tang Ruyan said coldly. She couldn't stand the childish siblings anymore.
Jiang Xingyu was stuck in the middle. She forced a smile.
Su Ping snorted and left to attend to the customers.
Su Lingyue picked up the juice on the table and drank it up. "Let's go, Xingyu. I need to go back and cultivate. Let's not stay in this guy's store."
Jiang Xingyu forced a bitter smile. She left with Su Lingyue reluctantly. Before she left, she threw a glance at Su Ping.
After Su Ping finished attending to the customers, Tang Ruyan moved closer and teased him, "That girl with your sister seems to be interested in you."
"What do you mean?" Su Ping asked.
"She's interested in you." Tang Ruyan sneered.
Su Ping said, "Isn't that normal? I'm so handsome. Many pretty girls are interested in me."
Tang Ruyan curled her lips.
How … shameless!
Su Ping looked at Tang Ruyan curiously. "I haven't had the chance to ask you yet. Are you really the future family head of the Tang family? How come you've been hanging out here for days and no one has come to pick you up?"
"You're the one who's hanging out here. Your whole family is hanging out here!" Tang Ruyan lost her temper.
Su Ping tapped her forehead with his finger. Tang Ruyan calmed down at once but she was still glaring at Su Ping.
Su Ping was used to that expression. He chuckled. "I see that the Tang family is not that great after all. You've been missing for such a long time and I've already made it public, but you still haven't come. How disappointing."
Tang Ruyan gnashed her teeth. "Who knows what kind of remote place this base city is!"
"Tsk, tsk." Su Ping shook his head and left.
Tang Ruyan stomped her feet in anger. When she first arrived at Su Ping's store, she thought that the Tang family would find her immediately. However, one day had passed, two days … and a week had passed and she still hadn't seen anyone from the Tang family.
She wondered if she had been wearing a veil that covered her face too well and made her look too mysterious. She had seen too many customers over the past few days but none of them had recognized her. That was unbelievable.
She could only attribute it to the fact that Su Ping's place was too small. Everyone there was just a bunch of ants!
How could a bunch of insignificant ants recognize a real phoenix?!
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Amidst the public's attention, the qualifiers for the Elite League in the base cities had finally begun!
The qualifiers for the base cities were divided into several stages. First was the preliminaries!
The different regions of the base city were divided into districts, and each district had a preliminary competition venue. There were a total of 12 venues!
There were 10 venues in each district of the uptown district and two in the shantytown district!
As a matter of fact, the land area of the shantytown district was not smaller than that of the uptown district. On the contrary, the shantytown district was larger than the uptown district. However, due to the lack of resources and talents, the shantytown district only had two venues. As a result, many people from other districts had to travel overnight to the venues.
One of the venues was in the Crescent District, the wealthiest district in the shantytown district. The other venue was in the gun-free district where the government of the shantytown district was located.
