Hearing the old man's words, everyone turned to look at Su Ping. They were surprised to see Su Ping in such a shabby outfit.
Some of them were secretly envious of Su Ping. Although he was unlucky to have almost been attacked by the Red Phantom Dog, the result was good. Not only was he not injured, but he also received ten thousand star coins.
Ten thousand star coins was not a small amount. It was equivalent to the monthly salary of a white-collar worker. It was a considerable amount of compensation for this shabby young man.
Ji Zhantang and Ji Qiuyu both frowned. They could feel the old man's disdain for their meddling in other people's business.
Just when everyone thought that the young man had accepted the money and the incident was over, the young man did not take the money. Instead, he said casually, "There's no need for the money. It's not a big deal. You, on the other hand, should thank this young lady. If it wasn't for her help, there would be blood here. This is not something that can be solved with money."
Once these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, and they were all stunned.
The smile on the old man's face froze. He looked at Su Ping in a daze. Not only did this young man refuse to pay, he even … lectured him?
Although the latter's tone was very calm, this kind of calm tone made the old man in the suit feel even weirder. He felt uncomfortable all over.
You want blood?
What can you do even if you are bitten to death? The worst that can happen is a lawsuit. In the end, you will have to pay some money.
Could it be that ten thousand yuan was too little and he wanted to pay more?!
The old man in the suit did not look too good. Ji Zhantang had dared to compete with him because they were at the same level. However, this shabby young man dared to talk to him like that. How could the old man tolerate such arrogance?
The old man in the suit stared at Su Ping coldly. There seemed to be two mountains on his back. As he stared at Su Ping, the old man in the suit gradually moved from his back to Su Ping's head. He wanted to make this young man kneel down and admit his mistake!
"Haha, a bunch of old bones still dares to argue with the younger generation."
Someone chuckled. Ji Zhantang walked over and looked at Su Ping with admiration. Then, he glanced at the old man in the suit and said, "He doesn't want your money and what he said is true. He killed someone and it's not something that can be solved with money. What else do you want from him?"
As he spoke, an aura erupted from his body, protecting Su Ping from the pressure of the old man in the suit.
The old man in the suit narrowed his eyes and looked at him coldly.
Just as the two of them were about to confront each other, there was a sudden burst of air. The huge metal door of the carriage beside them opened, and a group of guards wearing green standard leather armor walked out. They were the train conductors of the underground railway. Judging from their uniforms and the medals on their shoulders, they were all high-ranking train conductors.
All five of them were advanced battle pet warriors.
"The train is about to depart. Go back to your rooms. Don't cause any trouble on the train!"
The leader of the group was a middle-aged man. When he saw the aura of the old man in the suit and Ji Zhantang, he pulled a long face.
They were from the government and they were not afraid of anyone. To offend them was to become the enemy of all base cities!
The old man in the suit frowned. He snorted but said nothing more. He went back to his young lady. Before he left, he darted a look at Su Ping and made a mental note of this young man.
Ji Zhantang noticed the look in the old man's eyes.
At the same time, the other onlookers went back to their rooms. Soon, Su Ping and Ji Zhantang were the only ones left in the corridor.
"Buddy, our room is right over there. Come and find me if you need anything," Ji Zhantang said to Su Ping gently.
Su Ping didn't explain. He just nodded.
He had sensed the killing intent of the old man before he left but he didn't care. It would be best if the old man didn't come looking for trouble. If he did, he would crush the old man into dust.
Ji Qiuyu darted a look at Su Ping but said nothing. Su Ping's rejection of the old man in the suit had made her think more highly of Su Ping. But that was all.
Ji Zhantang said nothing more to Su Ping. After all, they had only met by chance. Ji Zhantang took his granddaughter back to their room.
After they left, Su Ping took out the key card embedded in the ticket and inserted it into the key card of his room. Soon, the key card was read and the door was opened. Inside was a small room, only seven or eight square meters in size. There was a bathroom and a bed. There was not much space for people to move around.
That being said, it was good enough to have a room like this on the train.
Su Ping threw his backpack on the table and sat on the bed, using it as a chair.
The base city he was going to was the Holy Light Base City.
That was the holy land for many trainers.
At the same time, the Holy Light Base City was also a Class A base city, commonly known as a first-rank base city.
There were over a hundred base cities in the Subcontinent District. They were divided into three classes, A, B, C, and C. Only seven of them were Class A base cities!
Every Class A base city was better than the other base cities in all aspects, especially in terms of safety. Not even beast kings could break into Class A base cities!
There were only two legendary battle pet warriors in the entire Subcontinent District, which were equal to beast kings. However, humans had obtained some treasures and developed some scientific weapons that could intimidate beast kings.
Even Class B base cities could fight back when beast kings attacked. At the very least, they could buy time for reinforcements from other base cities to arrive!
The journey to the Holy Light Base City was a bit long. Su Ping read the ticket. It would take two days and two nights!
That was almost half of the Subcontinent District!
Su Ping leaned against the bed and looked at the high-strength synthetic glass.
Through the glass, he could see the train tracks.
There were several tracks. Outside the tracks were stone walls. One look and Su Ping could tell that they had been built by pets of the Stone Family. The walls looked natural, as if they had been built by beasts.
Outside the train was a row of headlights. Inside the headlights were projections of tentacles. Looking from afar, the train looked like a huge centipede crawling underground.
Su Ping looked at the monotonous scenery outside. At first, he was interested. Later, he grew bored. He simply sat on the bed and closed his eyes to cultivate.
Time zipped by.
The train would stop every few hours.
Every time it stopped, someone would get on and someone would get off. Su Ping could hear footsteps outside.
Su Ping was still immersed in his cultivation. The astral powers around the train carried the aura of the Stone Family. Su Ping felt that it was a good place for pets of the Stone Family to cultivate.
But he didn't have any pets of the Stone Family.
Luckily, he didn't need one. The Dark Dragon Hound was his shield.
Soon, a day had passed.
Su Ping felt hungry. He stopped cultivating and went to the restaurant on the train.
There was a restaurant not far away from their compartment. The food there was much better than the food in the restaurant outside the hard-seat compartment. It was said that in the private compartments that cost millions of yuan, there were chefs serving the passengers at all times. They could order anything they wanted.
Su Ping ran into Ji Zhantang and his grandchild again when he went to the restaurant to look for food.
Su Ping nodded as a greeting when their eyes met.
After picking out the dishes, Su Ping went to an empty table and began to eat.
They had run into each other but they didn't know each other well. They didn't have much to talk about. There was no need for them to greet each other.
When Su Ping was halfway through his meal, Ji Zhantang and his grandchild had finished. They walked past Su Ping's table. Ji Zhantang said with a smile, "Take your time, young man."
Ji Qiuyu darted a glance at Su Ping. She didn't look like a talkative person.
"Good." Su Ping nodded as a greeting.
Soon, Su Ping finished his meal as well. He went back to his room.
Su Ping stretched his body in the small space and then went back to his bed to cultivate.
This time, he had only cultivated for a few hours when all of a sudden, Su Ping heard an ear-piercing noise. At the same time, the entire train shook violently. The vibration was so strong that Su Ping fell onto the bed from his cross-legged position.
