Astral Pet Store – Chapter 405
It seemed that the three elders of the Tang family were not pretending, in an attempt to make him reduce his demands. “You sure you don't want it?”
Tang Mingqing took a deep breath and nodded. “We are sure!”
Su Ping made another offer. “If five is too much, I can ask for less. How about four?”
The three elders looked at each other, but ended up shaking their heads.
Even four items would be too expensive. Moreover, since they had already said so, it was only a matter of time that Tang Ruyan's disguise would be uncovered. He has lost his value and function. Even four items to get it back would be too much!
“Three?”
They shake their heads. “Two?”
Shake, shake, shake.
The girl became even paler.
“Not one?”
Su Ping pulled a long face.
The three elders of the Tang family trembled in fear as they looked at the anger in Su Ping's voice. Tang Mingqing smiled obediently. “If it's okay with you, we can exchange it for something else, like money or ninth rank battle pets. What say?”
Finally, Su Ping realized what was strange about them.
“He's not the real head of your future family, is he?” Su Ping asked.
Tang Mingqing looked embarrassed. He gathered enough courage and replied, “He is not.”
He must admit the facts. Rejection will not work because Xie Gange and Venerable the Blade are there and they are not fools. They can already tell what's wrong. Tang Mingqing thought he might as well admit it.

Su Ping did not know what to say. What the fuck? It turned out that Tang Ruyan was a fake.
He was a fake but the Tang family had made a big deal out of it. For those who didn't know, they would believe that Tang Ruyan was the true future head of the family.
“So, you said that his life is less valuable than yours.” “... You could say so.”
Su Ping sighed hearing this answer. He looked at the girl who had changed color. He shook his head and said to Tang Mingqing, “Since he doesn't, it's your fault that I've taken the wrong girl. Now tell me. How will you make it up to you? ”
Huh huh?
The three elders of the Tang family were still dumbfounded.
They stared at Su Ping in disbelief. What a shocking accusation.
Getting the wrong girl is our fault?
What an incredible step! But, it was Su Ping who sat down and those who stood up. The people sitting down had the right to speak, so they refrained from retaliating.
They were aware that Su Ping was deliberately looking for faults on them, but there was nothing they could do. “Please tell us what kind of compensation you want.” Tang Mingqing produced a forced smile.
“Because you are so unhappy to give away treasures, I want five,” said Su Ping casually.
Tang Mingqing felt his face twitch. He didn't let us get away with it that easily, did he?
They had to give the five treasures whether they wanted Tang Ruyan back or not. Su Ping was a bandit! “Well, it will be eleven treasures in total. That's a lot...” Tang Mingqing muttered. Moreover, according to Su Ping three requests, he had already requested three pieces and that meant Su Ping asked the Tang family to provide a total of 14 items. He had practically obtained all the top-tier treasures in the Tang family's collection.
Of course, they could forge information and hide genuine treasures. However, Su Ping was not stupid. Also, she had shown that she had known a lot about the Tan family from Tang Ruyan. They believed that Su Ping knew all the treasures in the collection and there would be no way for them to deceive him.
“I'll round it up. Ten pieces or none of you can escape. ”
Su Ping made a reply offer directly. He did not need the treasure. He had just taught the Tang family a lesson. If they could not meet his demands, he would not mind killing the hostages.
“But..”.
Tang Mingqing did not know what to say to that unreasonable young man.
A cold glint appeared in Su Ping eyes.
Standing beside him, the Little Skeleton suddenly waved its sword and pointed to Tang Mingqing's forehead. The tip of the blade left a scratch on his forehead and blood flowed out.
“Say yes or die!” Su Ping warned him.
Tang Mingqing as well as the other two Tang family elders pale from fear. Tang Mingqing replied in a trembling voice, “I, I will say yes but I don't know if our family head will approve it.”
“Call him now,” Su Ping asks.
The Little Skeleton ran back to where Su Ping was and sat on the sofa beside him.
Freed from impending death, Tang Mingqing noticed that cold sweat had drenched his back. He smiled apologetically and immediately pulled out his phone. Shortly after, the call was connected.
“Master, Mr.”
Tang Mingqing found it hard to speak.
“What's going on?”
The man could clearly tell something was wrong with Tang Mingqing's tone of speech. Tang Mingqing glanced at Su Ping before he explained what had happened from start to finish.
When the man across the phone heard that the Feather Army and the Tactical Army had been put away and that there was a legendary battle pet fighter in the shop, he could no longer remain calm. There was the sound of something being thrown.
A moment later, Tang Mingqing had finished her story.
After a full minute, finally, the man told Tang Mingqing to give the phone to Su Ping. He wanted to negotiate with Su Ping directly.
Tang Mingqing delivered the message. However, he didn't have to, as everyone in the store had good enough hearing to keep up with the conversation.
“I just need an answer, she don't need to talk to me. Ask her. Yes or no!” said Su Ping. He's not in the mood to drag this along.
Out of embarrassment, Tang Mingqing had to repeat Su Ping's words.
The man across the phone could hear Su Ping's voice. A moment of silence later, the man said ‘ya’.
Tang Mingqing breathed a sigh of relief and so did the two elders standing beside him. They can't help but feel happy.
“She has said yes.”
“Good. Tell him to give me a list of your treasures and I should have them tomorrow. ”
“Of course. I'll tell him.”
A few minutes later.
All details have been decided. The three Tang family elders were all held in Su Ping's shop as hostages and they could only return after the treasure was delivered to him.
Without further ado, Su Ping saw Venerable the Blade come out. As for Xie Gange, he had to take off on his own. Su Ping did not keep any of the other family elders, except for two from the Liu family. He told them to get someone there immediately to clear the way.
All the mess on the road had to be cleaned up by the Liu family and all the damage had to be repaired by them.
The two Liu family elders accepted the task at once, hoping that by helping out, Su Ping could reduce the anger on the Liu family as a whole.
Only two elders from the Liu family, three from the Tang family, Tang Ruyan, and Yan Bingyue remained in Su Ping's shop.
Two of the Liu family were waiting outside for the people from their families to arrive and clear the roads and buildings.
Three of the Tang family lived inside and they behaved.
Su Ping was still a sour face when he was with the three of them. He sent them to the examination hall and used the place as a temporary cell. After the three elders left, Tang Ruyan said to Su Ping with white and bloodless skin, “Now, I am worthless. You can execute me now. ”
Su Ping glanced at him. “Why didn't you tell me you were fake? I'll let you go.”
Tang Ruyan curled her lips. How could he say that? Moreover, he remembered that he had said it once but Su Ping had never bought it. He thought he was just trying to escape.
“Forget. Because you know you are worthless, then do your job well and create value. Now that the Tang family doesn't want you, stay here and do the hurdles and the end for me. ”
Su Ping shook his head and sighed.
Tang Ruyan was surprised.
“Are you ... not going to kill me?”
Su Ping was speechless. “Why should I? Whahuh? Am I a homicidal maniac?”
“But, I am of no use to you.”
“Who said that? You can serve customers for me, right? ”
I'M ME I'M ME
Tang Ruyan replied in silence.
Serving customers?
Given Su Ping wealth, he could easily hire tens of thousands of people to work for him. He doesn't need it.
“You can stay here for a while. Joanna may be too busy in the days ahead. You can run some tasks. When I find a suitable employee, you will be free to leave. ” Su Ping laugh.
Tang Ruyan pressed her lips together. He can't describe his feelings. He took a deep breath and looked at Su Ping eyes. “If it's okay with you, I can work for you, forever!”
Yan Bingyue was shocked. The fact that Tang Ruyan was willing to stay there made no sense.
But he can understand it.
He is useless to his family. His family was not even willing to exchange him for a single piece of treasure when a family elder was worth three pieces of treasure.
Measuring one's worth by possessions is an insult. But he couldn't even compete with a piece of treasure.
Yan Bingyue felt she could understand Tang Ruyan's choice.
“What?”
Su Ping looked at Tang Ruyan who was clearly moved by her words. He raised his eyebrows, “You must have misunderstood. You're not qualified enough to work for me right now. I understand that you are upset but don't get carried away by your wishful thinking. I'm good enough to let you work for me for a while. ”
Whahuh?
Yan Bingyue was still dumbfounded.
So was Tang Ruyan.
The warm feeling that had just filled his heart was shot down when reality taught him a lesson. He's very confused.
Yan Bingyue looked at Su Ping. What kind of insensitive man is he?
“Alright now. If you don't have anything better to do, go and help clean up and keep an eye on the Liu family people,” said Su Ping, “Sign in.” He opened the scroll.
Yan Bingyue: “...” Under the gaze of Su Ping, he slipped back into the scroll.
Tang Ruyan was still standing there in a daze. Su Ping went to the pet room. The problem has been solved. It was time for him to consume the last ingredient of the Solar Bulwark.
