Su Ping: "(????) …"
Soon, Li Qingru came back with the reheated food. Su Ping was surprised to find that she had saved a lot of food. Finally, there was meat in the stir-fried pork with green peppers.
Su Ping darted a look at Su Lingyue who snorted and turned her head away.
Su Ping knew that the Wolf Heart had found out. But he didn't continue to annoy her. He lowered his head and continued to eat.
After Li Qingru sat down with the food, Su Lingyue said again, "Mom, seriously, please buy me another one. You have no idea how popular the Lightning Rat is now. Its potential has been severely underestimated. Apart from the freakish Lightning Rat in our academy, I heard that there is another Lightning Rat in the South Xiang Academy. It defeated the Vine Beast at the upper position of the fourth rank when it was only at the third rank. That Lightning Rat must be a low-rank divine beast!"
Pfft!
Su Ping choked on the chili and coughed violently.
He picked up the glass of cold water and drank it up. Only then did he feel better.
"I saved a lot for you today. No one is going to take it from you!" Su Lingyue rolled her eyes.
Su Ping smiled and lowered his head to continue eating. He was surprised that an average Lightning Rat could fight someone of a higher rank without his training. That Lightning Rat must be a genius.
"But this is rare. No matter how excellent the Lightning Rat is, it is still a low-rank pet with limited bloodline potential." After all, Li Qingru was an adult and a primary trainer. She was more sensible and mature. She explained patiently, "Also, from this incident, we can see that as long as the Lightning Rat is talented enough and has a good understanding of things, even the Lightning Rat can exert such astonishing strength. Then, the Phantom Flame Beast you have will be able to exert greater strength if it is trained well."
"You don't have to buy the Lightning Rat and put in the effort to train it. One or two powerful pets will be enough. You can spend the time and effort on the Lightning Rat on the Phantom Flame Beast. That will be more than enough for you."
Su Ping did not expect his mother, Li Qingru, to have such a profound understanding. He nodded and said, "Yes, Mom is right."
Su Lingyue threw him a murderous look. But when she turned around to face Li Qingru, the murderous look disappeared. "Mom, you don't know this. Nowadays, the teachers in the academy will ask about your Lightning Rat when they see if you have the talent. Tell me, if I don't have a Lightning Rat, how am I supposed to answer when the teachers ask?"
Li Qingru was shocked. "Your teacher is like this? How can you do that? There are so many pets out there. You can't deny other pets just because of one Lightning Rat. "
Su Ping saw through this lousy lie and nodded in agreement. "That's right. If that's the case, then this school will go bankrupt sooner or later."
"Can't food shut your mouth?!" Su Lingyue turned around. The look on her face was as terrifying as that of a demon from hell. Blood was about to flow out of her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
Su Ping took a look and realized that the food smelled better.
He didn't expect that Su Lingyue, who had always been a smart girl, especially when it came to messing with people, would be so irrational at this moment … Well, that wasn't right. The Lightning Rat flood had been going on for several days. She had shown some restraint by only asking to buy it now.
But she was still a little girl.
Her vision and judgment were not independent. It was inevitable that she would be led astray by trends and the public.
In the end, after Su Lingyue's coaxing and pestering, Li Qingru agreed. As a matter of fact, the price of a Lightning Rat wasn't that expensive. It was only about three thousand for one and an adult Lightning Rat would only cost about five thousand. The profit margin for such low-level pets was very low. Su Lingyue could only make money by selling pet food.
Li Qingru was mainly worried that having another pet would distract Su Lingyue. But since Su Lingyue was so persistent, she had to give up.
Su Lingyue was beaming with joy with her mother's promise. All of a sudden, she remembered something. "Mom, do you want to go to the exhibition match tomorrow?"
Li Qingru had heard about this before. She shook her head. "I'm not feeling well. I won't be going."
Su Ping darted a look at Li Qingru. He knew that his mother was not in good health. The reason was that she once bought a pet from a customer in the store. That pet was a wild one and had been forced to sign a contract with the pet. The pet had not been tamed yet. Without its master around, the pet attacked Li Qingru when she wasn't paying attention. Luckily, she reacted fast enough to save her life. But the root of her illness was left behind. She couldn't do heavy work and couldn't overwork herself.
After the incident, the pet's master didn't compensate her. Instead, he blamed Li Qingru for not taking good care of his pet and hurting it. That was why the pet attacked the pet. In the end, they went through a lot of legal procedures and tried their best to get justice. Even so, they only compensated a little over a hundred thousand.
Compared to a person's health for the rest of her life, a little over a hundred thousand was not proportional. But that was the end of the matter. There was no point in pursuing the matter further.
Su Ping remembered some of the miraculous medicines he had found in the explorers' vault. Some of them could heal Li Qingru's wounds and even her broken limbs could be healed. But those miraculous medicines cost over a million merit points.
"I think I will have to go on another exploration trip …" Su Ping said to himself. He didn't think about it last time and he didn't have many merit points left. He had to give up.
Su Lingyue's eyes dimmed a bit after hearing Li Qingru's words. She was a bit disappointed but she soon regained her composure. She smiled and said, "Then I'll ask my friends to take a video for me and I'll show it to you."
"Sure." Li Qingru smiled.
Su Lingyue smiled. She darted a glance at Li Qingru's injured leg. She didn't linger. She turned around and went upstairs. When she walked past Su Ping, he noticed that the smile on her face was gone. All that was left was sadness.
Su Ping's heart skipped a beat.
The next morning.
Su Ping slept soundly and he wasn't startled when he woke up. When he went downstairs, Su Lingyue was already having breakfast.
While Su Ping was washing the dishes, several girls were standing by the door and calling Su Lingyue's name.
Su Ping recognized them as the same girls from last time.
Before she left, Su Lingyue passed by Su Ping and casually put a card next to his bowl. "Here, this is the admission ticket. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. If not, just throw it away. It's not worth much."
By the time Su Ping came back to his senses, Su Lingyue had already left with her friends.
Su Ping looked at the ticket on the table. Li Qingru saw it as well. She said, "If you aren't busy at the store today, you can go and have a look. You can cheer for your sister. As her brother, you have to protect her."
Su Ping thought to himself, She's lucky enough not to bully others. She doesn't need me to protect her.
However, he was going to the academy today. It was on the way, but the timing wasn't right.
Su Ping put away the ticket and rode his bike to the store after breakfast.
He cultivated in the store for a whole day, but he still didn't get any business.
In the afternoon, Su Ping prepared the printed flyers. When it was almost four o 'clock, two beautiful figures appeared at the door. They were Su Yanying and her friend, Lan Lele, who he had made an appointment with the day before.
"Boss, do you really want us to hand out flyers?" Lan Lele was tongue-tied when she saw the thick stack of flyers in Su Ping's hands.
Su Ping said, "Why else would I ask you to come?"
"You …" Lan Lele was angry again. She realized that she would be angered to death by this boss every time.
Su Yanying quickly tried to smooth things over and said, "Alright, I promised the boss. Lele, you promised me too. Why don't you come with me?"
"Bah!" Lan Lele rolled her eyes but still went forward to take the flyers in Su Ping's hands. The two of them shared them.
"It's getting late. Let's go." Su Ping looked at the clock on the wall and said.
