Both Dong Mingsong and Su Yanying were agape after hearing the response.

No??

This was THE Phoenix Peak Academy. Countless people would pay with their lives to be admitted. The Vice Princ.i.p.al directly invited Su Ping and provided many bonuses, but he actually refused? And he didn’t hesitate in the least!

“You… think again, please,” Dong Mingsong tried.

Su Ping shook his head. He did consider accepting Luo Guxue’s suggestion, though he had yet to reach a solid decision. As for becoming a student? Definitely not.

Dong Mingsong’s eyelids twitched at the absurd playout of events. Not even Ye Hao, the top ranker in the academy, enjoyed such privileges. He had already gone over the line by presenting those generous offers; he might have needed to talk with the president later to seek approval later, otherwise, he’d be paying the expenses himself.

He never thought his offer would be rejected like this.

A bulky man stepped ahead. “All right, Mister Vice Princ.i.p.al, you shouldn’t force the guy since he said no. As far as I can see, an outstanding young man like this already has a dependable teacher. He doesn’t need the academy. Heck, what he did back there was better than what your best graduate can do.”

Dong Mingsong knew he didn’t have a say on this so he stepped aside.

“What’s your name, my friend?” the big man asked directly.

“How about you go first?”

“HA! You’re funny. The name’s Fang Baili. As in the fang of ferocious beasts!”

“I’m Su Ping. Though my life is hardly peaceful¹.”

Fang Baili bellowed with laughter. “I like you, man.”

“Can’t say the same. I’m not interested in dudes.”

Fang Baili choked on his laughter and stared at Su Ping.

The others chuckled upon seeing their companion getting stumped like this.

The red-haired woman spoke again, “Baili, dear, you already have Su Yanying on your side, how about leaving Su Ping to us? Mister Su, I’m Ji Rongying. Or just call me Ying for short. I represent a Cla.s.s A settler team working for the base city. By joining us, you’ll receive—”

Another young man beside her didn’t let her finish. “Chill out already. We’re all Cla.s.s A teams, aren’t we? Besides, your team focuses on missions in Cla.s.s A barren areas where six out of ten advanced battle pet warriors return in body bags. Are you seriously telling Mister Su to go to that kind of place, huh? Come on. My team is the best for settler recruits as we have multiple bases established around Cla.s.s B areas. If you want safer jobs, Mister Su, we can train you in Cla.s.s C areas as well. There will be teammates protecting you. I don’t know about anything else, but we can make sure you stay alive while exploring.”
