"Mom, I'm back."
"Why are you back so early today?"
"There hasn't been much business in the store lately."
"Oh. Go wash your hands. I'll heat up the food for you."
Su Ping went to wash his hands and sat down at the table to prepare dinner.
While waiting, he was wondering if he should tell his family about his awakening as a battle pet warrior.
After all, the truth could not be concealed forever. Sooner or later, his family would find out.
Soon, several dishes were served to Su Ping.
Su Ping was surprised to see meat in the food. "She didn't eat?"
Su Ping could tell from the swirl of astral powers upstairs that his sister had come back a long time ago. But there was meat in the food she left for him. What a miracle!
Li Qingru was glad to see that Su Ping was still thinking about his sister. "Your sister has eaten. This is another one I saved for you."
Su Ping understood.
No wonder …
"Mom." Su Ping was about to tell his mother about his awakening after a moment of hesitation.
"Mom."
A voice came from the staircase.
Su Ping's words were stuck in his throat.
Then, he heard hurried footsteps coming up the stairs. The girl stood in front of the table and asked in astonishment, "Mom, I thought I finished all the food. Where did this come from?"
Su Ping curled his lips. Finished …
How cruel!
Li Qingru said, "I made something else."
Su Lingyue pouted but she soon went back to normal. She looked at Su Ping indifferently. "Why are you back so early today? I don't think it's time to close the store yet."
"What does it have to do with you?" Su Ping was grumpy.
"What?"
Su Lingyue raised her eyebrows.
How dare he talk to her like that?
Has he grown up?
She sat down casually and said casually, "I don't think I've been exercising lately."
Su Ping didn't seem to notice the killing intent in her words. He asked curiously, "Aren't you in a competition? I haven't asked you to exercise yet. Are you hiding in the back and shouting and relying on your pets to fight for you? "
The table trembled.
Su Lingyue bent the iron ladle in her hand.
"Hehe."
She smiled faintly.
His fingers relaxed, and the iron ladle in his hand inadvertently returned to its original position.
"Hehe." Su Ping chuckled as well.
He laughed as he ate.
Su Lingyue looked at him with a smile for a while. Then, she stood up and said to Li Qingru, "Mom, I'm going to take a shower."
"Yes, the heater should be ready." Li Qingru nodded. "You go first. I'll bring you your clothes later."
"Thank you, Mom."
After Su Lingyue left, Su Ping hurriedly finished his food. While the person who was in his way was gone, he thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I have something to do tonight. I'll be out for a bit. I might be back late."
She said that she would be back later, but Su Ping knew that she probably wouldn't be back tonight.
However, he had to act first and report later. He had to get out of here first.
"What's up? What is it? "Li Qingru was stunned.
"It's about the pet store. A customer wants me to check …" Su Ping had prepared an excuse.
Li Qingru was relieved that it was about the store. She nodded. "Be careful. Come back soon."
"Okay."
Su Ping sat down and rested for a while. He didn't seem to be in a hurry. Then, he left before his sister came out of the shower, in case she ruined his plan.
…
…
A black SUV was parked in the shade of a tree on a remote street.
Two people were leaning against the car door. One of them was smoking.
"Brother Fan, is that guy as strong as you said? He could break your arm so easily. I think he's as strong as the captain, right?" the smoking man asked curiously.
The other young man was wearing ripped jeans and a black T-shirt. "I think so. But he's a genius. He's still young. He might even become a titled battle pet warrior in the future!"
"No way. Is he that amazing?" The smoking man was surprised.
Fan Yujing shrugged. Who could tell what the future would hold?
At the moment, Fan Yujing looked out of the corner of his eye. "He's here."
The two of them looked over. They saw a tall and slim man in casual clothes coming from the end of the street.
The smoking man had been observing the man while he was walking. Just as Fan Yujing had said, the man was very young. But he couldn't tell how strong the man was.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Su Ping saw the black SUV under the shade of a tree and Fan Yujing standing in front of the car. Apart from Fan Yujing, there was another man he didn't recognize. He had strong astral powers. Su Ping believed that the man was Fan Yujing's comrade.
"We've just arrived."
Fan Yujing smiled. He was surprised to see that Su Ping didn't seem to be carrying any weapons but he didn't ask any questions.
The most powerful weapons for battle pet warriors were their pets. As for other kinds of firearms, the explorers' base had plenty of them but few people used them.
"Mr. Su Ping, this is my comrade, Li Ying." Fan Yujing introduced the smoking man to Su Ping.
The smoking man put away his cigarette and said to Su Ping warmly, "Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you."
"Nice to meet you."
Su Ping replied politely and asked directly, "How's the situation over there? Is it daytime yet?"
Fan Yujing's expression turned slightly serious. He sighed and said, "Not yet."
Su Ping frowned. That was within his consideration. "Let's go."
"Okay."
Fan Yujing opened the door for Su Ping.
Su Ping said, "I'll sit in the front passenger seat."
With that said, he went around the front of the car and sat in the front passenger seat.
Fan Yujing didn't mind. He sat in the driver's seat and started the SUV right away after Li Ying got in as well.
"Mr. Su, I heard that you run a pet store. Your pets must be powerful, right?"
Li Ying, who was sitting in the backseat, took the initiative to strike up a conversation. He was trying to sound Su Ping out. Li Ying trusted Fan Yujing very much. However, exploring uncharted land was not a trivial matter. One wrong move could lead to death.
Su Ping looked at Li Ying through the rearview mirror. "I guess so."
Li Ying smiled. "Mr. Su, you're so modest. What's your name?"
"Su Ping."
It was the first time that Fan Yujing had heard Su Ping's name. He made a mental note of it.
"Brother Su Ping, I think you're in your early twenties. Usually, people at this age are still cultivating in the academy. Brother SU, did you graduate early?" Li Ying asked curiously.
Almost all battle pet warriors were from the academies. Few of them were from the unorthodox path.
Su Ping smiled but didn't answer.
Since Su Ping didn't answer the question, Li Ying was unwilling to give up. "Brother SU, Brother Fan said that you broke his arm easily. Is that true? Are you an advanced battle pet warrior?"
Su Ping frowned. He was only going to carry out a mission. He didn't want to be questioned.
Fan Yujing could tell that Su Ping wasn't happy. "Brother Su, our base is a bit far away. You can take a rest if you're tired."
Su Ping rolled his eyes. Why would I go with you if I was tired?
"Let's talk about exploration," Su Ping said, "I've never been there. I want to know more."
Fan Yujing was surprised. Su Ping had never gone to explore uncharted lands? If so, why did he notice the time difference?
