Astral Pet Store – Chapter 404
They came from the same community as they were all at the top of the titled rankings. The three elders of the Tang family managed to recognize Xie Gange and Venerable the Blade immediately. The clothes that Venerable the Blade was wearing that day were a bit strange, but they were sure it was him. In addition, there is a story that tells that Venerable the Blade is a fashion fanatic. Considering the clothes she was wearing, those stories were most likely telling the truth about her.
Of course, at this moment, whether the story was true or not was none of their business. The question is... Why are His Highness Sword and Xie Gange there?!
Xie Gange is from Star Organization.
Venerable the Blade works for Yuan Tianchen.
Both the Star Organization and Yuan Tianchen were powers that were above the Tang family. It might not be appropriate, but at least the Tang family did not want to offend the Star Organization or Yuan Tianchen and vice versa. After all, facing the hard with toughness would only end up hurting both sides.
Is there a connection between Star Organization and the store?
The elders of the Tang family became even more frightened than before for a moment.
If they knew that the mysterious presence was Venerable the Blade and Xie Gange, they would not have resorted to violence directly; they would have negotiated with the store owner first.
“I'm shopping here.”
Venerable the Blade produced a forced smile. By answering in such a way, he made sure that people would not have the wrong impression, that there was something between Yuan Tianchen and Su Ping's shop. After all, Yuan Tianchen and Su Ping were at odds. If rumors that they are allies spread, it would be funny.
Xie Gange copied the answer of Venerable the Blade. “Sama here. I came to shop.” Xie Gange laughed awkwardly.
The three elders of the Tang family found no words.
There are some words hidden in them that they really want to use.
But they managed to resist that desire.
“It just so happens.”
Tang Mingqing forced a smile but only said those three words. He stepped into the store. The priority at that time was to deal with Su Ping. As for Xie Gange and Venerable the Blade, he was not even in the mood to chat with them.
The old woman and the other old man glanced at Tang Ruyan coldly who was standing behind the titled battle pet warrior.
Tang Ruyan regained her senses and turned pale. He had deciphered some fundamental meanings from the eyes of those two elders. He will be held accountable for the loss of the Feathers and Tactics Force.
But it's not fair.
Of course, he had lost the opportunity to ask for justice.
These three were all family elders who enjoyed a higher status than hers. After all, he is just “depan”.
They will not transfer their anger to the real future head of the family …
He's frustrated.
The three elders of the Tang family had arrived in an imposing manner, but they ended up following Su Ping obediently. The other family elders looked at each other. World's changing. Since a legendary battle pet warrior lived in a shop, the entire Longjiang Base City had to treat Su Ping with respect, even if he did not ask for it.
The two elders from the Liu family were the most feared. They seemed to be considering something in their minds.
The Tang family elders walked into the store. Venerable the Blade and Xie Gange also returned, then the other family elders entered chasing after them.
At the very back was Tang Ruyan and Yan Bingyue.
Yan Bingyue sighed. Tang Ruyan was desperate. The first one can identify with the last one. Yan Bingyue patted his shoulder and gave him an encouraging look. Tang Ruyan answered her encouragement with a smile, but it was just a smile as deep as skin.
In the shop.
Su Ping sat on the sofa with the three elders of the Tang family standing in line in front of him. He did not mention that they could sit down when he told the three of them about the demands he made to Xie Gange.
The same three demands.
Searching for materials for him; offering three items from their treasure collection; and the ability to borrow some strength from the Tang family to work for him when needed.
The three elders of the Tang family seemed reluctant. They tried to make a counter offer but Su Ping directly cut it off and only asked for a yes or no from them. Recalling the pressure, after a moment of hesitation, Tang Mingqing had to say yes.
Then Su Ping once again explained the ransom he requested.
Just like before, the Tang family had to regain their future family by trading with items of equal value.
In fact, Su Ping did not care about what resources the Tang family had. He cared about the materials he needed and was somewhat interested in the treasure.
He couldn't think of anything else he needed.
“Five treasures for the future head of the family and I will choose. Two for each of you three. Consider it a discount. a total of 11 pieces. How about that?” Su Ping asked the three.
Tang Mingqing was shocked. The three of them glanced at Tang Ruyan, hesitating If she was the true future family head, they would be willing to get her back with five pieces of treasure. But he's just a front. What is the function of the front? To hide and protect!
Today is the perfect time for “front” to be destroyed to protect its master.
Tang Mingqing exchanged eye contact with the other two elders and came to an agreement. He asked Su Ping with a fawning smile, “Well, we can agree but only for the three of us. Will it be okay?”
Su Ping remained shocked for a moment.
So did Xie Gange, Venerable the Blade, and the rest of the extended family.
Until then, they all believed that the Tang family had gone there and made such a splash for the sake of regaining their future family heads. Su Ping was willing to negotiate with them, and he did not ask for too high a price. Why do they care only about their own lives?
Did they give up on their future head of the family?
The future head of the family! Basic family!
The elders of the five great families could only stare at the others speechlessly. Give up on their future head of the family. What's that about?
So, was one of the four ancient families in the Subcontinent District supposed to be so extraordinary?
Venerable the Blade and Xie Gange learn some secrets of the Tang family. They have formulated a theory. They felt sorry for the girl, seeing how she turned pale. She's just a pretty front …
Tang Ruyan trembled. The three elders had taken the last glimmer of hope from him. They threw his heart into the abyss and a chill bit his bones.
At last…
The day for me to be broken has come.
He lowered his head and bit his lips. Blood and tears flowed into his mouth together.
He remembered the girl who looked like him.
Biological sister!
The true future head of the Tang family!
To be honest, she had indeed been groomed to become the future family head of the Tang family, before the birth of her little sister, namely. Once his sister was brought into this world, his life was turned upside down.
Her younger sister showed far better talent than hers, astonishing all the higher-ups from the Tang family. They claimed that he was a genius rarely seen in a hundred years.
Therefore, her younger sister took the identity of the future family head from Tang Ruyan. Tang Ruyan then changed, from the future head of the family to a front disguised as the future head of the family.
He is still considered the future head of the family on record, and that is what other powers believe. He had to participate as the future head of the family in some important public event to convince others that he was indeed the person claimed by the Tang family.
As a result, he had been living in constant fear since young. He did not know how many times he had to go through assassination attempts, ambushes, and surprise attacks.
It had been done by an assassin sent by another army.
But he survived because he worked hard. Also, even though he was pretending, people were also protecting him in secret. So, he could escape at any moment.
However, his heart was forever wounded.
He hated his life and complained.
But she will always remember her genius baby sister, the girl who will always stand in front of her, look after her, and protect her.
Her younger sister will always be the first to give her sweets and other snacks. When the other family elders were about to speak rudely to him or scold him, his little sister was the first to jump out and defend him.
When her parents scolded her, her baby sister was the first to comfort her.
That wide and brilliant smile would always be with him, and it had dissolved all the hatred and anger within him. He can no longer hate. She gradually accepted her new identity and worked harder to adjust to her role.
He will be a very, very qualified front!
That is, until they separated from each other for a long time. “Pak, why are they so lifeless?”
Her younger sister is taken to a murder cave that all the future family heads of the Tang family must train.
There, no one knows who they are. All that was kept in the cave were condemned prisoners. Only one in a thousand can survive.
One time, Tang Ruyan survived that trial.
So does her baby sister.
He was the only survivor.
But after that, the smile never returned to her baby sister's face.
Even when they were together, the former would not speak a word, as if they were strangers. It continues. Since she had other tasks to do and other training to take, she and her baby sister would get together less and less.
The last time they met, Tang Ruyan was 14 years old.
His sister is 12 years old.
But her baby sister is much stronger than she is.
Her sister said something she will never forget:
“I know that you are a front but you have to work hard. You'll turn yourself in if you're always so weak, you know. ”
With that said, his sister left. He took all the warmth and attention he had ever given to Tang Ruyan.
Tang Ruyan's heart started to freeze!
From then on, Tang Ruyan had always worked hard and tried her best!
As her baby sister said, she had to keep working to fulfill her functions, as expected of father, mother, and all the family elders.
To be a qualified fraudster.
Before his little sister grew up, he had to filter out all the potential dangers that were coming his way.
Today…
That was the day the mask had to be left behind.
Tang Ruyan clenched her fists. His fingers pierced his palm but he felt nothing. Babysitter babysitters…
Am I a quality front?
“Three of you only. You don't want it?”
Su Ping frowned.
I've been taking care of him for a long time and now you're saying that you don't want him?
Tang Mingqing knew that her answer would reveal the fact that Tang Ruyan was not the truth. Anyway, he has to do it. If Su Ping asked for five ransom items, they would answer yes because they could give him trash items. But Su Ping would still choose by himself. Of course, he will start with the best.
They don't want to give up five good things.
It's worthless for proxies.
Also, while Tang Ruyan's disguise had been uncovered, their true future family heads had also grown up.
He was still young but he could already finish an average titled pet warrior fight easily!
He can protect himself. He will become an adult by the time he is able to survive a fight with a titled pet fighter at the top. Back then, even when his identity was revealed, the other families would not be able to kill him so easily. “I believe that our future family head will see the big picture,” Tang Mingqing said, while giving a warning to Tang Ruyan at the same time. Tang Ruyan wiped her tears and stopped her mind from wandering into the past. He gave her a look of agreement.
Tang Mingqing was relieved.
Su Ping was speechless.
This was the first time he knew that the future head of the family could be handed over. Are all the heads of your Tang family this cheap?
Or was Tang Ruyan so weak that the Tang family always wanted to choose another?
Su Ping looked at Tang Ruyan, puzzled.
He is weak but he can be the head of a good future family. What is the Tang family doing?
