Astral Pet Store – Chapter 285
Back to the event venue.
News of the deaths of the two Liu family men was immediately reported by the two middle-aged men but they did not inform the media.
Right now, the main match was still going smoothly and it was the only topic for everyone in the base city. Some media outlets may have known about the deaths through grapevine and published news stories, but they could not have caused much reaction.
The deceased were no one in the Liu family and they were never famous. No one would be interested in knowing the cause of their death. Only the words “family Liu” can attract the attention of some gossip lovers.
The Liu family estate.
Since they had eyes and ears everywhere, this news had reached the Liu family in no time.
They knew not only about the deaths but also about which branch the three deceased had come from, the cause of their deaths, and the entire conflict.
The higher-ups in the Liu family were furious when they found out that it was the Pixie Pet Store behind it all.
The three people who died were not significant family members. However, Su Ping deeds were a slap to the entire Liu family!
Liu Tianzong became furious as he received the news. He summoned most of the leaders in the Liu family and held a family meeting to discuss the matter.
Normally, the death of three insignificant members would not make all of the close family leaders wary, but this time everything was different. The Liu family's authority has been challenged. At the same time, they could not underestimate their opponents.
At the very least, the Liu family did not know the true background of the store as he acted so arrogantly, and showed off the Hell Dragon.
They had to step lightly before they could see all of their opponents' cards on the table. That's why they didn't choose to directly retaliate with violence.
The meeting is over. The matters discussed in the meeting were kept secret. But, shortly after the meeting was over, a lot of information about the prospective champion suddenly appeared in cyberspace.
Regardless of his name and age, there was information about the academy where he studied and his photo.
In addition, there was a lot of negative news about the girl and the source was some public opinion leaders who had a lot of fans.
An example of such news is that the prima donna of the campus has sold his body to gain status, and drinks with some coal bosses.
People say that pictures do not lie. The internet is flooded with gossip. Some videos were badly recorded and unclear. In fact, many people buy it.
Su Ping brought Su Lingyue home.
After three hours of traffic jams, Su Ping finally returned home.
First thing first. He went to tell their mother about their safe return.
Liu Qingru was relieved that they had returned safely. He was very happy to know that Su Lingyue had gone through the first match and claimed that she would cook some extra dishes for him that night!
Su Ping left Su Lingyue with their mother and returned to his shop. He parked the car and went inside.
Su Ping found Joanna; she was cultivating in one of the treatment cages. His cultivation was rather unusual. Several traces of golden light surrounded him and runes resembling Sanskrit stuck around his body. It was a mysterious sight.
Few people walk the street. Most of the public must be somewhere watching the Elite League. Since no customers had come, Su Ping decided not to disturb Joanna and let her continue cultivating.
Although there was no point of energy that could be created when there was no business, Su Ping was glad he could take the time to relax. He took Tang Ruyan out of the scroll and told her to keep an eye on the store in case anyone showed up.
Meanwhile, he went to the examination hall and summoned the Dark Dragon Hound to become his sparring partner. He could make the Dark Dragon Hound move some muscles while he had a perfect punching bag.
He did not have to go to a cultivation place. The exam room is the right place. It was like the most advanced battle stadium and the Dark Dragon Hound could try every move without having to worry about destroying the place.
At the very least, given the current Dark Dragon Hound rank, it was unable to pose any danger in this examination hall.
Su Ping did not choose the Hell Dragon to train because that person was almost at the ninth rank and hence, he could not defeat him. Unless Inferno Dragon let him win, but that would leave his training meaningless.
Speaking of aggressiveness, Su Ping felt a headache. As the pet of the demon family, this dog's weakness was in battle while he had equipped himself with all the defensive skills he could think of. This dog is basically trying to turn into a turtle. Su Ping felt it was very necessary to show the dog how important attacking skills were.
They warmed themselves and Su Ping threw himself at the Dark Dragon Hound.
With the help of Star Prism which could raise its rank to almost ninth, and along with the Solar Bulwark, it could move as fast and as strong as an average titled battle pet warrior. As he used the “Fist of Exorcist,” he could make the advanced shield of the Dark Dragon Hound vibrate with a single blow. If he could exert more power, he would be able to smash it into pieces directly.
The training lasted for hours.
Suddenly, he heard someone knocking on the door.
Su Ping was tired and leaned on the stomach of the Dark Dragon Hound to rest. The Dark Dragon Hound's tongue stuck out and was filled with sweat.
Su Ping took another breath and went to open the door.
It was Su Lingyue outside and she looked worried.
“What is it?”
“See this online..” Seeing Su Ping in front of him made Su Lingyue slightly calm. He handed his phone to Su Ping.
Su Ping saw a lot of news about Su Lingyue as if she had caught the attention of the public overnight, like a celebrity. By reading closer, he noticed that all news articles about him were negative.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows but he was not too surprised. He had predicted that this would come. It just came faster than he expected. It seems that the Liu family is knowledgeable.
“Congratulations. You are famous now, ”said Su Ping.
Su Lingyue did not know what to say. Su Ping words almost enraged him to death.
Famous? Why would he want to become famous this way? He is famous and he will go down in history as a symbol of evil!
She, a girl, has been slandered. If not for his close friend Jiang Xingyu telling him about this, he wouldn't have known that he already had a ragged reputation on the internet!
He thought Su Ping would find a solution for him. How could he use that irresponsible and sarcastic comment!
“They reply to me!” Su Lingyue gnashed her teeth furiously. “Oh. You already know this? That gets it done, ” said Su Ping.
Su Lingyue glared at him. At this moment, she was wondering if she was the younger sister of this man, and whether this man's kindness towards her had all along been fake!
Su Ping patted his forehead. “You know that they are replying to you and you are angry at them. You play in their hands.”
Su Pingyue was still foaming at her mouth. “You are not the target. Of course, you won't be angry!”
“Who said I wasn't angry? I just didn't show it,” Su Ping continued, “Again, what's the point of anger now? If you have enough power, I suggest you keep it for the match. They are defaming you to discourage you. They let people verbally abuse you. Some fools will agree to play together and target you in the game.
“But, the only thing you need to do is to be strong enough and beat them all, right?”
Su Lingyue stood in a daze for a moment. “You make it sound very easy, but I am the one who is the target of people, calling me by name. I just want to be a quiet and beautiful girl. Why did you choose me to be a champion? You just set me up! ”
“Since you are set up, then enjoy.” Su Ping did not try to correct his words, and indeed that was how he had been since long ago.
Su Lingyue glared at him.
Naturally, he knew that for the sake of his own advantage, Su Ping had planned to make him a champion. If he could win the championship, it would definitely mean he would progress to a high ranking.
Without Su Ping's help, he would have taken years or more than a decade to reach that goal. Su Ping had shortened that time for him.
Being talented or staying mediocre is a choice. It goes without saying that he would not choose to be the last. It never occurred to him that the price to pay to be the first would be huge!
After all, he knew that Su Ping knew this would happen. He knows it!
