“The owner is here.”

Su Yanying’s eyes’ brightened slightly when she saw Su Ping coming out from the back. She stepped forward right then, dragging her friend with her.

“Hi, what can I do for you?”

Su Ping moved to the counter and his eyebrows were knitted together.

His heart was in extreme pain as he thought about the mere 108 coins he received for that outstanding Lightning Rat.

Su Yanying noticed that Su Ping’s expression appeared to be unnatural. While she found it bizarre, she did not pry further. “Sir, do you remember the Lightning Rat I picked up?” She threw out her question in a hasty manner.

Rip.

It was the sound of the scar in his heart being torn open.

Su Ping curled his lips and his face darkened. “What is wrong with it?”

“There is nothing wrong with it. I’m only asking if you did anything to it.” Su Yanying couldn’t hold back from asking this question.

“…” Su Ping remained silent for a long time before he said, “What do you think I would do to a rat?”

“Well…”

Su Yanying realized that her question was phrased oddly. Her cheeks blushed as she went on in a low voice, “Sir, that’s not what I meant. I’m only wondering if it was trained here.” She uttered those words with prudence and respect.

If the Lightning Rat had been trained there, then there had to be master trainers working in this place. Even battle pet warriors with t.i.tles would have to treat such master trainers with respect and politeness. Of course, she also had to do the same.

“Oh?”

Su Ping was intrigued. He understood the intention of their visit, based on the information he heard from his sister Su Lingyue.

This girl saw that little rat in action, so she returned to find out the reason for its growth.

There was one thing, though.

This matter involved the pet store’s secret and the system, things that he could not expose.

Su Ping made up a random answer, “If taking it for a walk can count as training, then yes, I did train it for a couple of days.”

Su Yanying did not see this coming. “Walks?”

“Of course I have to take it outside for a walk after a good meal,” Su Ping said off the top of his head. He was about to be convinced by his own words.

Su Yanying was losing patience with Su Ping playing with her. “Sir, I’m being serious. Did you not train it at all?” she asked in a hurry.

Su Ping frowned a bit. She was persistent. “What does it have to do with you if it was trained here or not? I can compensate you if you think there is something wrong with it, or you can return it and I will buy it. If you find it in good shape, then I will be okay if you want to give me more money. Other than that, please leave if you have nothing else to do here. Don’t interrupt my business.”

Su Yanying never expected that the store owner would tell them to leave so directly. She recovered from her shock soon and hurried to explain, “Sir, this is not what I’m saying. I am merely seeking confirmation. If you have trained it for me, please let me know, all right?”

Su Ping raised his eyebrows. “If so, then yes. Are you happy now?”

Su Yanying found it hard to find words.

“Hey you, we’re not here to look for trouble. If you trained Lightning Rat, then tell us. We’re not going to hurt you,” Lan Lele said, unsatisfied by Su Ping’s att.i.tude.

Su Ping kept a straight face. “I already said it. I trained the Lightning Rat. But if you want to know the process and methods, then I will have to say sorry.”
